海航酒店集團(tuán)作為西班牙NH酒店集團(tuán)第一大股東,近期向NH董事會致信,敦促其立即宣布正式開始尋找下一任合格獨立的CEO。
2016年6月,英國對沖基金Oceanwood Capital方的少數(shù)投資人得到Hesperia明確的支持控制了NH,在幾個小時之內(nèi),Oceanwood和Hesperia領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的董事會解雇了CEO Federico Gonzalez Tejera。而如今,距NH新任董事會解雇Gonzalez已過去四個月,新CEO卻遲遲無跡可尋。
海航集團(tuán)認(rèn)為NH目前的結(jié)構(gòu)無異于里應(yīng)外合的“特洛伊木馬”,允許Oceanwood和Hesperia對NH的日常運營進(jìn)行有效控制,卻不需要公司董事會和股東的明確授權(quán)。海航進(jìn)一步表示,董事會還沒有投票支持Oceanwood董事及非執(zhí)行董事會主席Alfredo Fernandez擔(dān)任公司的CEO,也沒有批準(zhǔn)適當(dāng)?shù)墓蛡驐l款。
新CEO究竟花落誰家?請拭目以待。
HNA Group, NH Hotel Group's largest single shareholder, issued a letter to NH shareholders calling on the board to immediately announce that it is initiating a formal search for a qualified and independent CEO.
In June 2016, a minority investor group led by hedge fund Oceanwood Capital seized control of NH Hotel with the explicit support of Hesperia. Within hours of taking control, the Oceanwood and Hesperia led board fired CEO Federico Gonzalez Tejera. It has now been four months since the new leadership of the NH Hotel Board of Directors fired Gonzalez and it has not yet initiated a process to find a new CEO.
HNA believes this structure is a Trojan Horse, allowing Oceanwood and Hesperia to retain effective control of the day-to-day operations of NH Hotel without a clear mandate from the company's Board or shareholders. HNA further stated that the board has not voted to support Oceanwood proprietary director and non-executive chairman of the Board Alfredo Fernandez as the chief executive of the company, nor has it approved the terms of an appropriate employment contract.
Let's wait and see who shall be the next CEO of NH Hotel Group.
