Article 34
|
Staff personnel of a securities firm attending board meetings shall faithfully record meeting minutes in details and the summary, method of resolution, and voting results of all the proposals submitted to the board meeting in accordance with relevant regulations. In case a director has an interest in a proposal, the name of the director who has an interest in the proposal and the specific reason why he or she should abstain from discussion and voting, or not to abstain, shall be stated in the company's meeting minutes.
The board meeting minutes shall be signed or chopped by the chairman and secretary of the meeting, to be distributed to each director and supervisor within 20 days after the meeting. The director attendance records should be part of the meeting minutes. Board meeting minutes shall be treated as important corporate records and, during the life of the company, shall be placed in safekeeping permanently.
Meeting minutes may be produced, distributed and stored electronically.
The company shall audio- or video-record the whole proceedings of the board meetings and the recordings shall be kept for at least five years. The recordings may be stored electronically.
If, prior to expiry of the storage period in the preceding paragraph, there is a lawsuit pertaining to matters resolved at the board meeting, the audio or video recordings that are part of the evidence shall continue to be kept, in which case the preceding paragraph shall not apply.
Where a board of directors' meeting is held via videoconferencing, the audio and video recordings of the meeting shall be part of the meeting minutes and shall be stored permanently.
Where a resolution of the board of directors violates laws, regulations, articles of incorporation, or resolutions adopted in the shareholders' meeting, and thus causing injury to the company, dissenting directors whose dissent can be proven by minutes or written statements will not be liable for damages.
