(5)张某和孙某的具体情况是否符合担任独立董事的条件?并说明理由。

答案

参考答案:

(1)董事会审批的为乙公司提供担保的决议不合法。

①根据《公司法》规定,上市公司在1年内购买、出售重大资产或者担保金额超过公司资产总额30%的,应当由股东大会作出决议,并经出席会议的股东所持表决权的2/3以上通过。本题中,为乙公司提供担保的数额为公司资产总额的40%;因此董事会无权审批该事项。

②根据《公司法》规定,上市公司董事会会议决议事项所涉及的企业有关联关系的,董事会会议应由过半数的无关联关系董事出席。本题中,涉及乙公司事项的无关联关系董事有8名(除董事A、董事B、董事C外),出席本次董事会会议的无关联关系董事有4名,未达到过半数的要求。

(2)甲公司董事会通过的吸收合并丁公司的决议不合法。

①公司合并应由股东大会作出决议。

②在董事会通过的决议中的4项要点均不合法:根据《公司法》规定,第一,公司合并的,应当自作出合并决议之日起10日内通知债权人,并于30日内在报纸上公告;第二,公司合并的,应当自公告之日起45日后申请登记;第三,公司因合并而收购本公司股份后,应当在6个月内转让或者注销;第四,公司董事、监事、高级管理人员离职后半年内,不得转让其所持有的本公司股份。

(3)甲公司发行公司债券的计划不合法。

①根据《证券法》规定,公开发行公司债券,应当符合的条件之一是:最近3年平均可分配利润足以支付公司债券1年的利息。本题中,甲公司最近3年平均可分配利润为300万元(900÷3),公司债券1年的利息为330万元(5500×6%);

②根据《证券法》规定,向不特定对象发行的证券票面总值超过人民币5000万元的,应当由承销团承销。本题中,公开发行公司债券数额为5500万元,因此由戊证券公司负责包销全部公司债券的做法是不符合规定的。

(4)甲公司董事会通过的变更总经理的决议不合法。

①根据《公司法》的规定,股份有限公司董事会作出决议,必须经全体董事的过半数通过。在本题中,只有5名董事表决通过,低于董事会全体董事(11人)的半数。

②根据《证券法》的规定,上市公司公司的董事、1/3以上监事或者经理发生变动,属于重大事件,上市公司应当立即将有关情况向国务院证券监督管理机构和证券交易所提交临时报告,并予公告。

(5)张某和孙某的具体情况均不符合担任甲公司独立董事的条件。根据规定,在上市公司或者其附属企业任职的人员及其直系亲属不得担任上市公司独立董事。本题中,张某虽然没有直接在甲公司任职,但他是甲公司附属企业财务总监的直系亲属,不符合担任甲公司独立董事的条件;最近一年内曾经在直接或间接持有上市公司已发行股份5%以上的股东单位或者在上市公司前5名股东单位任职的人员及其直系亲属,不得担任上市公司独立董事,本题中,孙某作为持有甲已发行股份超过5%股东单位的法定代表人虽然已经离职,但没有超过1年,不能担任甲公司的独立董事。

Saying “thank you” is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all, we’re brought up to be polite, and it is important to make a good impression upon other people — especially across national divides.

So, what exactly are you supposed to say when “thank you” is only the 20th most popular way to express gratitude? According to a recent survey, 19 other ways of expressing appreciation finished ahead of “thank you” in a poll of 3,000 people.

Pollsters(民测调查员) found almost half of those asked preferred the more informal “cheers”, while others liked to use such expressions as “ta”, “great” and “nice one”.

So, just what is the appropriate form of words to express your thanks?

Fortunately, the clue is in the language itself. “Cheers”, despite its popularity, is considered an informal way to say thank you — and this is a definite clue as to when you can best use it.

For instance, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a “cheers” by way of thanks is not only appropriate to the situation, it is also culturally accurate.

“Ta”, originated from the Danish word “tak”, was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as “nice one”, and “brilliant”. Interestingly, one word that didn’t make it into the top 20 was “thanks”, Thank you is shorter, more informal cousin.

“Thanks” can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between the formality of “thank you” and the downright relaxed “cheers”.

Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. Again, the words themselves offer the clue as to when best to use them.

For example, words like “awesome”, “brilliant” and “you star” featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone’s action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a “new” thank you, you can respond with a simple “no problem”, or “sure”.

Of course, in certain circumstances, a simple wave, nod or smile may be appropriate. For instance, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver’s consideration.

Sometimes, formality is necessary, and “thank you” is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions.

Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline. People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without comment. So don’t think your “thank you” is clumsy or awkwardly formal. The chances are, if you said “thank you”, you made someone’s day. You star.
