//Glass Lewis ESG 爭議警報：小米
Glass Lewis 發布了關于小米（HKG：1810）的 ESG 爭議警報，建議不要選舉董事并阻止實施發行無優先購買權的 B 類股票的提議，以及一項計劃發行回購股份。
代理顧問敦促股東不要將劉芹選為非執行董事，因為他的當選將導致小米審計委員會的獨立性不足。
根據最近公布的代理文件，劉在公司董事會任職 13 年。
Glass Lewis 還反對發行無優先認購權的 B 類股票的提議，因為它超過了建議的門檻并且發行價格折扣未披露。
該提案將在 6 月即將舉行的公司會議上進行表決，將允許小米發行不超過其已發行股本 20% 的額外股份，而無優先購買權。
“我們擔心董事會可能會濫用這些權力，通過向任何一方發行股票來為自己的利益服務，”格拉斯劉易斯說。
代理公司還建議股東投票反對發行回購股票的提議，因為該公司沒有在其披露中提供最高貼現率。
在 ESG 評級類別下，Glass Lewis 提出的問題涉及社區/利益相關者關系、道德和股東權利。
小米將于6月8日召開股東大會。
//Glass Lewis ESG Controversy Alert: Xiaomi

(MT Newswires) -- Glass Lewis issued an ESG Controversy Alert on Xiaomi (HKG:1810), advising against the election of a director and discouraging the implementation of a proposal to issue class B shares without preemptive rights, as well as a plan to issue repurchased shares.
The proxy advisor is urging shareholders not to vote Liu Qin as a non-executive director as his election would result in Xiaomi having insufficient audit committee independence.
Liu had served 13 years on the company’s board, according to the proxy paper published recently.
Glass Lewis also recommended against a proposal to issue class B shares without preemptive rights as it exceeds the recommended threshold and the issue price discount was not disclosed.
The proposal, which will be voted on at the company’s upcoming meeting in June, would allow Xiaomi to issue additional shares up to 20% of its issued share capital without preemptive rights.
“We are concerned that boards may abuse these authorities in order to serve their own interests by issuing shares to any party,” Glass Lewis said.
The proxy firm also recommend shareholders to vote against a proposal to issue repurchased shares as the company has not provided the maximum discount rate in its disclosures.
Under ESG ratings categories, the issues that Glass Lewis raised are under community/stakeholder relations, ethics and shareholder rights.
Xiaomi will hold its shareholder meeting on June 8.
