New upheaval in the Cellnex board of directors

BarcelonaWith the break over the Easter holidays, signings are slowing down, but internal moves on Cellnex’s board of directors continue to grab the headlines.

Former Cellnex chairman and Leonard Peter Shore resign as directors

Former Cellnex chairman Bertrand Kan and Leonard Peter Shore, both independent directors of the telecommunications company, have resigned as independent directors due to “irreconcilable differences with the board in relation to the management, direction and succession process of society,” the company reported. In a statement to the CNMV, the Spanish stock market supervisor, the two councilors thus argue their departure with immediate effect, which is part of the disagreements within the council over the election of the CEO who is to replace Tobías Martínez. In fact, Bertran Kan had to step down as non-executive chairman of Cellnex just last week, following pressure from the largest shareholder, the TCI fund, which had demanded his removal three days earlier, and was replaced by Anne Bouverot. The company had explained that Kan would remain with the company as an independent, but ultimately both he and Shore have decided to fold.
