DIRECTORS董事会条款

公司章程中，对董事会的规定必不可少。公司章程没有固定模板，董事会条款也非常灵活。但一般来说，董事会条款会规定董事、董事长的推举、更换、义务与职权、董事会的构成以及董事会的议事程序。

示例一：　

董事会

(a) 董事会由七(7)人组成（不包括替代董事）；但是，公司可以不时通过普通决议，增加或减少董事人数的数量。

(b) 每位董事均应任职至其任期届满及其接替者已被选出和符合资格要求。董事会设一名董事长（以下称“董事长”），由当时在职的三分之二(2/3)董事推选和委任；该比例构成绝对多数。在任何时候罢免董事长时也需要该绝对多数。董事还可以推选一名联席董事长或副董事长（以下称“联席董事长”）。董事长应主持董事会的每次会议。董事长未出席董事会会议的，由联席董事长主持会议，如果联席董事长也未出席会议，参加会议的董事可以推选一名董事主持会议。董事长在应由董事会决定的事项上的表决权与其他董事相同。在遵守本章程和《公司法》规定的前提下，公司可以通过普通决议推选任何人担任董事，以填补董事会席位的临时空缺或增补入现有的董事会。董事可以通过参加董事会会议和在董事会会议上表决的剩余董事简单多数赞成票委任任何人担任董事，或者如果仅剩下一名董事，该股东有权不时和在任何时候委任任何人担任董事，以填补董事会席位的临时空缺或增补入现有的董事会，前提是应遵守纽约证券交易所（若公司的美国存托股份还在纽约证券交易所交易）的相关公司治理规则要求公司遵守董事提名程序。

(d) 董事会的席位因任何董事被免职而出现空缺的，在该董事被免职的会议上应通过普通决议方式推选或委任一名董事填补该空缺，或者在经合法召集和组成的董事会会议上，由出席会议和拥有表决权的剩余董事经过半数赞成票表决，推选或委任一名董事填补该空缺。不管本章程是否有任何相悖的规定，依照相关条款有权指定任何个人被推选为董事的任何人有权在相关条款款规定的期间内，将担任该职务的任何董事免职，以及填补因担任该职务的任何董事死亡、丧失行为能力、退休、辞职或被免职而出现的空缺。任何时候因依照相关条款指定的任何董事死亡、丧失行为能力、退休、辞职或被免职而使董事会席位出现任何空缺的，仍应依照相关条款规定的同样方式，填补该董事席位出现的空缺。

除非相关法律或公司的证券在其中交易的认可证券交易所或自动报价系统的上市规则另有规定，董事会可以不时通过、实施、变更、修改或取消公司治理政策或计划，以制定董事会通过决议形式决定的、有关各种公司治理事项的公司和董事会的政策。

董事的资格要求不得包含持有公司任何股份的要求。非公司股东的董事依然有权收到公司股东大会及公司各个类别股份的股东大会的通知，参加该等股东大会和在该等股东大会上发言。　　

Board of director

(a) The Board shall consist of not less than seven (7) Directors (exclusive of alternate Directors), provided that the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase or decrease the number of Directors on the Board.

(b) Each Director shall hold office until the expiration of his term and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified. The Board of Directors shall have a Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”) elected and appointed by two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then in office, which constitutes a super majority; a similar super majority is also required to remove the Chairman at any time. The Directors may also elect a Co-Chairman or a Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Co-Chairman”). The Chairman shall preside as chairman at every meeting of the Board of Directors. To the extent the Chairman is not present at a meeting of the Board of Directors, the Co-Chairman, or in his absence, the attending Directors may choose one Director to be the chairman of the meeting. The Chairman’s voting right as to the matters to be decided by the Board of Directors shall be the same as other Directors. Subject to these Articles and the Companies Law, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution elect any person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. The Directors by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the remaining Directors present and voting at a Board meeting, or the sole remaining Director, shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board, subject to the Company’s compliance with director nomination procedures required under applicable New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules, as long as the Company’s American Depositary Shares are trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

(c) A Director may be removed from office by Special Resolution at any time before the expiration of his term notwithstanding any agreement between the Company and such Director (but without prejudice to any claim for damages under such agreement).

(d) A vacancy on the Board created by the removal of a Director may be filled by the election or appointment by Ordinary Resolution at the meeting at which such Director is removed or by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the remaining Directors present and voting at a duly called and constituted Board meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles, any persons entitled to designate any individual to be elected as a director of the Board pursuant to the Applicable Provision above shall have the right to remove any such director occupying such position and to fill any vacancy caused by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any director occupying such position during the periods specified in Applicable Provision. If a vacancy is created on the Board at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any director designated pursuant to the above Applicable Provision, the replacement to fill such vacancy shall be designated in the same manner, in accordance with this Applicable Provision, as the director whose seat was vacated.

The Board may, from time to time, and except as required by applicable law or the listing rules of the recognized stock exchange or automated quotation system where the Company’s securities are traded, adopt, institute, amend, modify or revoke the corporate governance policies or initiatives, which shall be intended to set forth the policies of the Company and the Board on various corporate governance related matters as the Board shall determine by resolution from time to time.

A Director shall not be required to hold any shares in the Company by way of qualification. A Director who is not a Member of the Company shall nevertheless be entitled to receive notice of and to attend and speak at general meetings of the Company and all classes of shares of the Company.
