  • Toshiba Corp (OTC:TOSBF) (OTC:TOSYY) reported results from the shareholders' meeting, where members from activist hedge funds were elected to the board.
  • Elliott Management's Nabeel Bhanji and Farallon Capital Management's Eijiro Imai were elected as board members, Reuters reported.
  • Akihiro Watanabe, an executive from investment bank Houlihan Lokey, becomes the board chairman.
  • The report added that external director Mariko Watahiki, who opposed the election of activist investors, resigned after the vote.
  • The inclusion assumes significance as the multinational corporation explores proposals for privatization.
