  • SoftBank Group Corp (OTC: SFTBY) (OTC: SFTBF) directors Yuko Kawamoto and Ron Fisher will depart as board members, the Financial Times reports.
  • High pressure from U.S. hedge fund Elliott Management and other investors over better corporate governance practices led to the election of Kawamoto.
  • Kawamoto had reportedly challenged its founder Masayoshi Son on internal control issues.
  • SoftBank’s first woman director Kawamoto will become National Personnel Authority commissioner. SoftBank has selected another female director to replace her.
  • Fisher, who supervised most of SoftBank’s WeWork investment, will depart after 26 years. He reportedly worked the closest with management on its strategy and growth plans.
  • SoftBank has defended the resignation as Fisher’s decision and was unrelated to the WeWork investment.
  • Fast Retailing Co Ltd (OTC: FRCOY) CEO Tadashi Yanai and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) co-founder Jack Ma resigned as directors as SoftBank started investing in technology start-ups through its $100 billion Vision Fund. 
  • Arm CEO Simon Segars will depart after SoftBank sold the U.K. company to NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA).
  • Price action: SFTBY shares traded lower by 1.47% at $39 on the last check Friday.
  • 软银集团(SoftBank Group Corp)据英国《金融时报》报道，(场外交易代码：SFTBY)(场外交易代码：SFTBF)董事川本裕子(Yuko Kawamoto)和罗恩·费舍尔(Ron Fisher)将辞去董事会成员一职。
  • 来自美国对冲基金埃利奥特管理公司(Elliott Management)和其他投资者对改善公司治理做法的巨大压力，导致川本当选。
  • 据报道，川本曾就内部控制问题挑战其创始人孙正义(Masayoshi Son)。
  • 软银首位女性董事川本将出任国家人事管理局局长。软银已经选择了另一位女性董事来接替她。
  • 费舍尔负责监督软银在WeWork的大部分投资，他将在任职26年后离职。据报道，他与管理层在战略和增长计划方面的合作最密切。
  • 软银为费舍尔的辞职辩护，称这是费舍尔的决定，与WeWork的投资无关。
  • 迅销股份有限公司(场外交易代码：FRCOY)首席执行官柳井正和阿里巴巴集团控股有限公司(纽约证券交易所股票代码：BABA)联合创始人马云辞去董事职务，因为软银开始通过其1000亿美元的愿景基金投资科技初创企业。
  • ARM首席执行官西蒙·西格斯将离职，此前软银将这家英国公司出售给NVIDIA公司(纳斯达克股票代码：NVDA)
  • 价格行动：SFTBY股价在周五的最后一次检查中下跌1.47%，至39美元。
