Executive Board

The Executive Board (“EB”) is a collective or sole body which is part of an organizational structure alongside with General Meeting of Participants (“GM”). Also, the EB operates with or without the Supervisory Board (“SB”). The EB shall consider the GM as the supreme governing body of Limited Liability Company (“LLC”). The collective EB shall be represented by its Direction and a sole EB acts through its General Director.

[...]

Division of Duties: The EB is responsible for the day-to-day business of the LLC. Competence of the EB consists of all matters not related to competence of the GM and the SB If established). The EB shall act on behalf of the LLC without Power of Attorney (”PoA”) and the EB may issue PoAs to any third party granting rights to represent the LLC, including assignable PoAs. Also, the sole EB is entitled to hire and dismiss employees, transfer them to other positions, enter into employment contracts, determine the remuneration system, adopt incentive measures and take disciplinary actions.

Composition: The number of the collective EB members shall not be more than 7 persons where 1 member is the Chairman. The sole EB is titled as General Director. An EB Member or  the General Director can be Participant in the LLC but cannot be a SB member simultaneously.

Appointment/Dismissal Competence: The EB members shall be appointed by the GM for not more than 5-years term of office. The GM is entitled to early terminate the term of the EB members. The procedure for appointment, reappointment and termination of the EB can be provided in Articles of Association (“AoA”). 

Alternates: In case of absence, the GM may appoint an authorized person to perform the duties of the EB member.

For a description of how to change the respective board members, please see the individual steps in the "Step-by-Step"-schedules below. As all information on how to change board members in Kazakhstan on the CBM Site by nature is generic (i.e. does not include specific requirements for listed companies, special requirements in statutory documents or as otherwise stipulated in any type of special law), we strongly recommend seeking legal advice with Centil Law before actually changing any board members in Kazakhstan.
