Executive remuneration controversy
Before the 2010 demerger, shareholder groups criticized Cable & Wireless’s executive compensation arrangements. Approximately 38% of shareholders did not support the company’s pay policy at a contentious meeting. Critics also questioned a long-term incentive plan linked to company valuation and a reported £60 million bonus pool for participating executive directors during 2009–2010.
