Description of Staggered Board of Directors. Explanation. |
Definition Staggered Board of Directors. Description.
The members of a Staggered Board of Directors have terms that expire at different times. This way of replacing boards is a tactic used to prevent hostile takeovers, because a potential acquirer has to wait longer to take control of the board.
Originally, all directors were elected simultaneously at the annual shareholders meeting. A disadvantage of this method is that it limits the shareholder control of accountability in its directors through annual elections.
