Governance

Newedge operates with a transparent structure for effective governance and to ensure autonomy across operational functions.

The Board of Directors is comprised of an independent Chairman and members shared by the parent banks, plus one independent non-voting observer. The appointments of Duncan Goldie-Morrison as Chairman and Jacques Ripoll and Jérôme Grivet as Vice Chairmen were decided at the Newedge Group Board meeting on July 7, 2010 and will be effective after the changes in the Company’s by-laws are approved at the next General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held by the end of July 2010.
