Major Facebook Shareholders Seek To Dethrone Mark Zuckerberg As Board Chairman by TechCapon(m): 7:30am On Oct 19, 2018

Mark Zuckerberg

The year 2018 is most likely the most noticeably awful year of Mark Zuckerberg's life in view of progressive information leaks driving Zuckerberg to testify before Congress, now major investors are pushing to show him out from his position as Chairman of the board. As of late, treasurers of Rhode Island, Illinois, and Pennsylvania raised marked a proposition issued by Trillium Asset Management in June.

The proposition suggests that Mark Zuckerberg should be removed as the Chairman. This is a direct result of mishandling high profile scandals and absence of transparency. Mjor stakeholders will cast a ticket on the proposal in Facebook's yearly financial specialist meeting set for May 2019. The suggestion demands investors to choose an independent executive, much the same as Tesla is doing.



Official statement from the New York City Comptroller.

“Facebook plays an outsized role in our society and our economy. They have a social and financial responsibility to be transparent – that’s why we’re demanding independence and accountability in the company’s boardroom.

We need Facebook’s insular boardroom to make a serious commitment to addressing real risks – reputational, regulatory, and the risk to our democracy – that impact the company, its shareowners, and ultimately the hard-earned pensions of thousands of New York City workers. An independent board chair is essential to moving Facebook forward from this mess, and to reestablish trust with Americans and investors alike.”

This isn't the first time that such plans have been raised to upset Mark Zuckerberg's position. In April, a similar endeavor was made, but since Zuckerberg holds 60 percent casting a ballot rights. Hence, the arrangement was unsuccessful.

Notwithstanding, this time, association of investors could get it done. A few noteworthy investors like The New York City Pension Funds that claim 4.5 million Facebook shares. The Pennsylvania Treasury holds 38,737 offers, Trillium is the proprietor of 53,000 offers, are backing the proposition.

Facebook has not yet issued any official explanation with respect to the proposition.

Too bad
He’s doing a good job so far and whatever plan the board are considering is simply out of selfishness and turn Marks hardwork into what they can benefit from and if care isn’t take they will just run the company down and under.

Same happened with the Tesla owner but he’s case is different because he had fraud allegations thus he had to resign as chairman.

Like someone said Mark should pay off the silly shareholders and run his independently against them and thier frivolous wishes

This facebook of a thing is gradually losing the aura it had some 5/10 yrs ago.

I can bet that in the next 10/15yrs facebook may prolly end up becoming another netlog, yahoo, qeep and the others that have lost their dominance.

Same they are doing for Tesla, now you can understand why some CEO don't like going public - moneybags come in, take over chairmanship, but they don't have the passion of the founder and they destroy the business.

Apple tried that when they expelled Steve Jobs from the company entirely. However when the company came to its kneels, the same shareholders came to their kneels begging him to return. That was when he restructured the company and brought in technological innovations that have changed the world. Today, Apple is the only corporation in earth with $1 Trillion market capitalization. Go check it.

Just like an Iceberg, Business is 10% physical and 90% spiritual. You can copy the ideas of a person, you can chase him from there and take over, it is bound to rot just like the body without the spirit is dead. That is why all who have ever hijacked my business ideas ran into trouble and some later humbled themselves and called me to help.
