Grab has always maintained a strictly independent governance structure, under which Mr Khosrowshahi had previously recused himself from all Board discussions and decisions relating to Taiwan. This Board change further underscores Grab&#8217;s commitment to maintaining a robust and independent governance framework in connection with the proposed acquisition of foodpanda Taiwan\u2019s business.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grab remains a founder-led company. Under Grab\u2019s dual-class share structure, Group CEO and Co-founder Anthony Tan maintains the majority of voting rights. As such, all strategic decisions for the company are made independently by Grab\u2019s leadership in Singapore.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr. Khosrowshahi joined Grab&#8217;s board in 2018 following Uber&#8217;s sale of its Southeast Asia business to Grab. As a non-executive director, he provided oversight to the company and was not involved in the company\u2019s day-to-day management or operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the change, Grab&#8217;s Board comprises six directors, four of whom are independent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"parent":180237,"menu_order":0,"template":"grab21-default","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/editorial\/265586"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/editorial"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/editorial"}],"version-history":[{"count":39,"href":"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/editorial\/265586\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":266106,"href":"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/editorial\/265586\/revisions\/266106"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/editorial\/180237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
