路透苏黎世2月1日电- - -科莱恩CLN。沙特阿拉伯董事长哈里夫•科特曼表示，迫于最大股东沙特基础工业公司(SABIC) 2010年的压力，他不会在4月份的年度股东大会上竞选连任集团董事会成员。

The Swiss chemicals maker will instead propose to elect Guenter von Au as new chairman of the board and will also propose an ordinary dividend of 0.70 Swiss francs ($0.7852) per share, it said in a statement on Monday.

该公司周一在一份声明中表示，将提议选举冯欧(Guenter von Au)为新的董事会主席，并将提出每股0.70瑞士法郎(0.7852美元)的普通股息。

Clariant said that by agreeing to the agenda items, SABIC was withdrawing its own proposals submitted in December including for a special dividend distribution and time limit of 12 years for members of the board that will instead be anchored in the bylaws of the board.

科莱恩表示，通过同意这些议程项目，SABIC撤回了去年12月提交的提议，包括特别股息分配和董事会成员12年的期限，这些提议将被纳入董事会章程。
