Article 26
|
A securities firm shall stipulate expressly the scope of duties of the independent directors and empower them with manpower and material support related to the exercise of their power. The company or other board members shall not restrict, obstruct, reject, or evade the performance of duties by the independent directors.
A securities firm shall, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, stipulate expressly the emoluments of the directors in its articles of incorporation or pursuant to a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. Different but reasonable emoluments from that of other directors may be set forth for the independent directors.
Where a securities firm separately sets aside a special reserve as stated in its articles of incorporation, as resolved at a shareholders' meeting or as ordered by the competent authority, the special reserve shall be set aside only after a legal reserve has been set aside and before remunerations of directors and supervisors and employee compensations are to be allocated. Its articles of incorporation shall also state how earnings shall be appropriated when the special reserve is reversed towards unappropriated earnings.
