Block Investors Press for Board-Level Technology Oversight Committee

An update from Block, Inc. Shs Chess Depository Interests Repr 1 Sh ( (AU:XYZ) ) is now available.

The New York State Common Retirement Fund is urging Block shareholders to support a stockholder proposal calling for the establishment of a dedicated board-level Technology Committee. The proposal argues that Block’s growing reliance on artificial intelligence heightens technology and cybersecurity risks that require more specialized and focused oversight at the board level.

Proponents contend that Block’s three-member Audit and Risk Committee is structurally overburdened with a broad mandate that includes financial auditing, legal and regulatory compliance, data privacy, cybersecurity and oversight of Square Financial Services’ internal audit and risk functions. They also note that committee members hold numerous external roles, while other directors are underutilized, and say a Technology Committee would align Block with financial services peers and improve governance for long-term shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:XYZ) stock is a Buy with a A$140.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Block, Inc. Shs Chess Depository Interests Repr 1 Sh stock, see the AU:XYZ Stock Forecast page.
