You're welcome Ms. Liliane. I have to admit it that you are right. Thanks and all the best ..

Liliane Hatem Oct 21, 2012:

Thank you, Taghreed:)

Taghreed Mahmoud Oct 21, 2012:

Ms. Sara .. I checked it out in another post with a Native English Speaker. First Ms. Liliane is correct. Second, "those held" refers to "interests" and not office. I hope this helps..

Liliane Hatem Oct 21, 2012:

A legal guardian when they have shares in their name NOT a POSITION, and there is no mentioning in the context of "a legal guardian".
Translation does not convey our ideas or what we think, but the meaning of what is written in the context. I am sure you know that as you are a good translator.

Taghreed Mahmoud Oct 21, 2012:

In a family run business, anything can happen by mutual consent. It is LEGALLY understood that there will a legal guardian (parents) acting on behalf of the infant ..

Liliane Hatem Oct 21, 2012:

"directors who held office at the end of the financial year "
Even on paper, an "infant child" cannot be a partner or a director, this is ILLEGAL and could not be put on paper or in a contract. The child must be over 18. But they can have shares, warrants... in their name.

Taghreed Mahmoud Oct 21, 2012:

It is on paper only that an infant is appointed as such .. just to be given shares, interests, revenues but for sure he/she is assigned no functions .. I remember I translated an contract before where a new born was one of the partners..

Liliane Hatem Oct 21, 2012:

Ms. Taghreed, would you please explain how "infant children" can hold a position of a director EVEN in a family-run business?

Taghreed Mahmoud Oct 21, 2012:

Ms. Liliane .. In a family-run business, it is possible ..

Liliane Hatem Oct 21, 2012:

"those held" refer to interests = المصالح
as "infant children" cannot hold a position, especially as directors
أطفال مدراء؟؟؟؟

Taghreed Mahmoud Oct 21, 2012:

Hi Sara..
“It means a person or persons being assigned or assumed a duty or function as directors in the company. This may be your spouse, or infant child(ren) who assumes positions in the company (ex. you are the president, your wife as vice-president, your child(ren) as head of department). If this company is a family-run business, this is possible. And the interests of shares, warrants, share options etc. will be divided or set accordingly to the following”.
so we can translate it as follows: المديرين الذين تم تعيينهم في نهاية السنة المالية (بما في ذلك زوجاتهم وأطفالهم) ..

sara alnuaimi (asker) Oct 21, 2012:

what about "those held by their spouses and infants" ?
