Halifax Shopping Centre homicide update | SaltWire #newsupdate #halifax #police #newstodaySALT LAKE CITY, Utah, NEW YORK -Goldman Sachs and Bank of America shareholders voted against proposals to divide the CEO and chairman roles at both banks on Wednesday, bucking pressure from influential proxy advisers to bolster corporate governance.
At Goldman's annual shareholder meeting, the proposal by the conservative-leaning National Legal and Policy Center garnered 33% of shareholder votes, according to a preliminary tally, compared with 16% last year. After the vote failed, Perlot said the CEO's misjudgments"may have been avoided had there been a serious counterweight to his power."
A Goldman Sachs spokesperson referred to the company's earlier comments on the matter. Its governance committee has maintained that it considers a strong lead independent director, alongside the chairman-CEO role, as most effective at this time.
