Effissimo Capital Management is calling for Toshiba to elect an Effissimo co-founder and two others as outside directors ahead of the industrial conglomerate’s annual shareholder meeting on Friday.

Effissimo said the stake sale will make its co-founder meet Toshiba’s criteria for independent director, which disqualify executives of funds holding a 10% stake or more in the company from that role.
