//Glass Lewis ESG Controversy Alert: Xiaomi
05/29/2023 | 02:03am EDT
(MT Newswires) -- Glass Lewis issued an ESG Controversy Alert on Xiaomi (HKG:1810), advising against the election of a director and discouraging the implementation of a proposal to issue class B shares without preemptive rights, as well as a plan to issue repurchased shares.
The proxy advisor is urging shareholders not to vote Liu Qin as a non-executive director as his election would result in Xiaomi having insufficient audit committee independence.
Liu had served 13 years on the company’s board, according to the proxy paper published recently.
Glass Lewis also recommended against a proposal to issue class B shares without preemptive rights as it exceeds the recommended threshold and the issue price discount was not disclosed.
The proposal, which will be voted on at the company’s upcoming meeting in June, would allow Xiaomi to issue additional shares up to 20% of its issued share capital without preemptive rights.
“We are concerned that boards may abuse these authorities in order to serve their own interests by issuing shares to any party,” Glass Lewis said.
The proxy firm also recommend shareholders to vote against a proposal to issue repurchased shares as the company has not provided the maximum discount rate in its disclosures.
Under ESG ratings categories, the issues that Glass Lewis raised are under community/stakeholder relations, ethics and shareholder rights.
Xiaomi will hold its shareholder meeting on June 8.
