Published in a meeting agenda last week, the proposal asked for the retraction of 1,854,656 shares, for a new total of 19,199,999 shares, and the removal of István Töröcskei from the board of directors, “in view of his role as an owner and senior officer at companies that have been liquidated in recent years.”
Töröcskei is the former owner of Széchenyi Commercial Bank, which closed in 2014, and also acted as head of the Government Debt Management Agency (ÁKK). Shareholders voted 58.1% against the share withdrawal and 86.2% against the removal of Töröcskei, according to MTI.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
