British Bank is experiencing pressure from retail investors who are seeking more control over corporate governance and say their stance is exonerated by an escalating row over executive pay.
Bank will arrange a vote at its annual general meeting which is scheduled on April 25, 2019, on whether to establish a committee of shareholder representatives that would meet with the board members and executives regularly.
Last year a similar proposal was defeated post a two-year conflict, but Director of shareholders rights group (ShareSoc), Cliff Weight, said that this latest exclamation over significantly high pension offering justified a second poll.
Royal Bank of Scotland is one among the several banks that have come under the radar of investors and market activists in recent weeks over the considerably high pension remittance to the senior managers.
As per media reports, Chief of RBS, Ross McEwan is all set to get a payment of £350,000 this year which is equivalent to the 35 per cent of his base salary. The code of corporate governance recommends that executives pension payment should be in line with the majority of employees, which is capped at about 10 per cent of the base salary.
Although, the bank has said we did not see establishing a committee, which will not be in the best interest of the company, quoting concerns over the difficulty in finding a representative panel.
