The role of the Independent Director.
What is an Independent Director?
Required by lenders in certain financial transactions, an Independent Director is required to serve on the board of single purpose vehicle (SPV’s) to protect assets in large real estate or financial transactions.
According to the NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15), the definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgement in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
What does an Independent Director do?
An independent director is a director or member of a board of directors who does not have a material or monetary relationship with the company or related persons. The Independent Director is not a part of the management team with their sole role being to vote on the matter of a voluntary bankruptcy of the special-purpose vehicle (SPV).
