Royal Mail - Proxy report 19/07/2018
Leadership Changes
Moya Greene resigned as CEO and Rico Back was appointed as the new CEO on June 1, 2018.
Item 2: Approve the Remuneration Report
Though the STI appears to link pay with performance and the quantum is not excessive, the structure is not weighted more towards rewarding long-term performance. Instead, it is more heavily weighted toward the short term. The maximum bonus, pension and benefits exceed guidelines. Accelerated vesting is possible. 50% of the LTI vests at threshold performance, which exceeds market practice.
Item 9: Re-elect the Chairman
His potential aggregate time commitments exceed ECGS guidelines as he serves as Chairman of three listed companies. It is especially important for the Chairman to have sufficient time to dedicate to the Board.
