Governance Differences of Controlled Corporations
October 11, 2011 - We are pleased to announce that CCGG has released new guidelines entitled Governance Differences of Equity Controlled Corporations.
Many large Canadian corporations are controlled by a family, a parent company or a group of shareholders through their holdings of common shares. Effective equity control can come from holding as little as 20% of the common shares of a widely held company. CCGG recognizes that the guidelines in Building High Performance Boards may not apply equally to equity controlled companies. These guidelines were developed to take into account the legitimate governance differences of equity controlled corporations.
Please contact Stephen Erlichman, Executive Director at serlichman@ccgg.ca or (416) 868-3585 or Judy Cotte, General Counsel and Director of Policy Development at jcotte@ccgg.ca or (416) 868-3582 if you have any questions.
