additional director can act as an independent director

The independent Directors are appointed as the additional Directors in the Board meeting and such additional independent Directors are counted in the total number of 1/3 of Directors. Nominee Directors are usually appointed by Banks, Investing Companies and financial institution by virtue of their contracct or agreement. they are usually appointed as non executive Directors , so if the articles of such Company mentions that such Directors are appointed as Non Executive Independent Director they are counted in total of 1/3 of Directors

for nominee director you have to verify appointment terms first.

Actually I wanted to ask that in a listed company there are 15 directors including 2 additional directors (non independent), 1 Small Shareholder Director and 1 nominee Director. 

Now which director we include for calculating 1/3rd limit 

Is it 1/3rd of 15 or 14 or 13 or likewise and why
