Legal basis: Guiding opinions on establishing independent director system in listed companies. In order to ensure that independent directors can effectively exercise their functions and powers, listed companies should provide necessary conditions for independent directors.
(1) A listed company shall ensure that independent directors enjoy the same right to know as other directors. All matters that need to be decided by the board of directors, the listed company must notify the independent directors in advance according to the legal time, and provide sufficient information at the same time. If the independent director thinks that the information is insufficient, he may request supplementary information. When two or more independent directors think that the information is insufficient or the arguments are unclear, they can jointly put forward written suggestions to the board of directors to postpone the meeting of the board of directors or postpone the consideration of the matter, which shall be adopted by the board of directors.
The information provided by listed companies to independent directors shall be kept by listed companies and independent directors themselves for at least 5 years.
(2) A listed company shall provide necessary working conditions for independent directors to perform their duties. The secretary of the board of directors of a listed company should actively assist independent directors in performing their duties, such as introducing the situation and providing materials. If the independent opinions, proposals and written explanations issued by independent directors need to be announced, the secretary of the board of directors shall go to the stock exchange in time to handle the announcement.
(3) When the independent directors exercise their functions and powers, the relevant personnel of the listed company shall actively cooperate with them, and shall not refuse, obstruct or conceal them, or interfere with their independent exercise of their functions and powers.
(4) The expenses incurred by independent directors in engaging intermediary agencies and other expenses required for exercising their functions and powers shall be borne by the listed company.
(5) A listed company shall give appropriate allowances to independent directors. Allowance standards are formulated by the board of directors, reviewed and approved by the shareholders' meeting, and disclosed in the company's annual report.
In addition to the above allowances, independent directors may not obtain additional undisclosed benefits from listed companies and their major shareholders or interested institutions and personnel.
