Analysis · VALE · Energy & Transportation
Only five days after a contentious extraordinary general meeting—where a shareholder bid to oust the Chairman failed and the board's own slate was elected—the Vice-Chairman's resignation deepens the governance turmoil at Vale. The board has been sharply divided over the influence of major shareholder Previ, and this departure may signal either continued internal strife or a realignment of dynamics following the EGM.
