Analysis
Two independent directors, including the chairman of the critical Audit Committee, resigned from Baosheng Media Group's board. This follows a recent 20-F filing that included a going concern warning and previous board changes. While a new independent director with relevant experience was appointed, and an existing director was reassigned to a key committee, the net reduction of one independent director and ongoing board churn raise significant concerns about governance stability and oversight, especially for a company facing severe financial challenges.
