Series 79: Staggered Board

Taken from our FINRA Investment Banking Exam

Definition of the term Staggered Board...

a board of directors in which the directors’ terms are structured so that only a portion of them are elected at each annual shareholders’ meeting. This serves as an anti-takeover defense, because it makes it a slower and more difficult process to change the board’s makeup.
