SINGAPORE The growing call to professionalise and raise the standards of independent directors has prompted the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) to develop a new “matching service” that can help companies find suitable candidates to sit on their boards. The service, which will be launched in the next four to six weeks, will provide a databank of SID members that companies can tap when looking for independent directors. The SID said it will also tie up with executive search firms which will help evaluate the potential candidates. To make use of the service, companies will have to fork out a fee of about $1,000 for access to a number of potential candidates. SID chairman John Lim said: “Companies should expand their search for independent directors beyond a fairly narrow network of people that they know.” He was speaking at the sidelines of a panel discussion on directorship at the Singapore Management University (SMU) yesterday. Among the issues raised at the panel discussion was the important role of company chairmans in shaping the direction of the business and ensuring that directors do theirjobs as watchdogs for the company and the shareholders. They also touched on directors performance evaluation. “Independent directors must be more probing now; must fully understand the risks the company faces and ask questions if they do not understand the complexity of the financial instruments that the company may be involved in,” said Mr Lim. Singapore has enough talent pool of potential directors with competency and experience, the panel said. But not enough is being done to find them, they added. “Boards and companies just need to be conscious that there is a broad spectrum tolook for talent,” said Mrs Lee Suet Fern, senior director at Stamford Law Corporation. Among the issues raised is the active participation of women in company’s boards. For example, only three among the 28 graduates of the Executive Certificate in Directorship at SMU were women. With regard to setting a limit on the number of boards that a director can sit on, the panel said total regulation is not the answer. WHY NOT ???? “If the director accepts an invitation to sit on board, he must be prepared to commit the time and the resources to fulfil the responsibilities of the directors because this is a very high level of trust that has been bestowed on him,” said Mr Lim. Diversity on the board is critical, said Associate Professor Annie Koh, Dean of Executive and Professional Education at SMU. As the business landscape changes, companies should also ensure fresh injection of ideas, she said. — |

WASHINGTON The United States government yesterday (29 March 2010) announced it would divest its 27-per-cent stake in Citigroup this year, in what would be one of the largest stock sell-offs in history. The US Treasury said it intended “to fully dispose of its approximately 7.7 billion shares of Citigroup common stock over the course of 2010 subject to market conditions”. Those shares are worth around US$33.4 billion ($45.8 billion) at the prevailing market price of US$4.34 apiece, giving the US government an unrealised profit of about US$8.4 billion. The US Treasury acquired its stake in Citigroup as part of the US$700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (Tarp). The New York-based bank received US$45 billion from Tarp in late 2008 as withering confidence in Western banks almost triggered a run on deposits in the US. Last September, the US Treasury converted US$25 billion of the bailout funds into common shares at a price of US$3.25 each. In December, Citigroup repaid the remaining US$20 billion, and the Treasury agreed to hold off selling the common shares for 90 days. That lockup expired on March 16, 2010. The Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC) has a stake of about 4 per cent in Citigroup. It has booked a gain of about US$1.6 billion and is sitting on another US$1.6 billion in unrealised profiton its January 2008 investment of US$6.9 billion. — |
