　　"70岁俱乐部"的亿万富翁们

　　One partner of KPMG explains the new Act requires a proper justification³ and a special resolution with 75% voting in favour to continue with executive powers beyond 70. An age limit was deemed fit since significant public capital is parked with the country's largely promoter-driven companies.

　　This applies to those with executive functions and not independent directors.
