Tesla 株主総会が10/7に開催されます

TeslaのProxy Statementを眺めています。

・9人の取締役は3つのクラスに分かれています。任期が3年、期差選任、staggered boardです。今回はクラスⅡの2名の選任案（ひとりnot-standになっています）、9名から8名の取締役会となります。水野さんはElon Muskさんと同じClassⅠ。女性は2名。

・会社提案に取締役任期を3年から2年にするというのがあるので、これが2/3以上の賛成を得れば、two classes with staggered two-year terms になる。会社はForを推奨、以下のように理由を記載。While the Board fully supports giving our stockholders a greater voice by allowing them to vote on the performance of our directors with greater frequency, the Board also believes that it would not be in the best interests of Tesla and its stockholders at this time to subject the entire Board to an annual re-election.
Proposal5の株主提案では1年にというのがあるがこちらは会社はAgainst推奨。ISSは多分Forでしょう。

・水野さんは以下のように記載。
Hiromichi Mizuno has been a member of the Board since April 2020.
Since January 2021, Mr. Mizuno has served as the United Nations Special Envoy on Innovative Finance and Sustainable Investments.
From January 2015 to March 2020, Mr. Mizuno was Executive Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund, the largest pension fund in the world.
Previously, Mr. Mizuno was a partner at Coller Capital, a private equity firm, from 2003.
In addition to being a career-long finance and investment professional, Mr. Mizuno has served as a board member of numerous business, government and other organizations, currently including the Mission Committee of Danone S.A., a global food products company, and the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council.
Mr. Mizuno is also involved in academia, having been named to leadership or advisory roles at Harvard University, Oxford University, University of Cambridge, Northwestern University and Osaka University. Mr. Mizuno holds a B.A. in Law from Osaka City University and an M.B.A. from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University.

We believe that Mr. Mizuno possesses specific attributes that qualify him to serve as a member of the Board, including his deep understanding of international economics, financial markets and government policies.

・Proposal3、ELIMINATE APPLICABLE SUPERMAJORITY VOTING REQUIREMENTS

2020年の株主提案（non-binding）で過半数55.7％：For/（For+Against+Abstain）の賛成を受けて今年提案したけど、発行済み株式数の33.4％の賛成でしかないので2/3以上の賛成は無理でしょうということで、会社側の推奨はない、None　です。ISSはForでしょう。
（2020年の総会結果）

f:id:MMikio:20211006213930p:plain

As of the Record Date, holders of common stock were eligible to cast an aggregate of 185,475,491 votes at the 2020 Annual Meeting.　とあったので、62212916/185475491=33.5%

・Proposal6は、Calvert Research and ManagementからDiversity & Inclusion関連の株主提案。会社側は、2020年12月に初めて Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Impact Reportを出し、2021年8月にはAnnual Impact Reportにまとめ、DEI（Diversity, Equity and Inclusion）情報を公開しているのでAgainstを推奨。

・Proposal7は、Nia Impact Capitalからrequesting reporting on the impact of employee arbitration on workplace cultureの提案。仲裁（arbitration)を利用することでテスラの職場環境の本当の情報を得ることが難しい、制限されるのできちんとレポーティングしてくださいという提案？、よくわかりません。会社はAgainstを推奨。Nia Impact Capitalから追加の資料がでています。

・Proposal8は、Comptroller of the City of New Yorkから ASSIGNING RESPONSIBILITY FOR STRATEGIC OVERSIGHT OF HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT TO AN INDEPENDENT BOARD-LEVEL COMMITTEE の提案。すでに取り組んでますということで会社はAgainstを推奨。

・Proposal9は、Sisters of the Good Shepherd New York Provinceから、ADDITIONAL REPORTING ON HUMAN RIGHTSの提案。Annual Impact Reportで開示している、今後も進化させていくので会社はAgainstを推奨。

・Proposal6から9、ISSの推奨はForでしょうね。
