Uber's board of directors has voted on a few measures that'll limit the power former CEO Travis Kalanick can hold. Special voting powers are being removed from certain kinds of stock, namely the 10-to-1 power available with Class B common stock. Kalanick owns a third of the company's Class B stock.
The latest rules also prevent Kalanick and current CEO Dara Khosrowshahi from sitting as chairman of the board's committees or subcommittees.
Lastly, the board has expanded to 17 seats (two of which are likely to be occupied by SoftBank), and a two-thirds vote is required to approve a new CEO, limiting the chance Kalanick could regain power.
