WCPO has tracked pay-disparity numbers since 2013, but the analysis uses average pay data for industries, not specific companies. The software company PayScale has been gathering company-specific numbers by surveying more than 80,000 workers about their pay. So far, the company has released "typical median worker pay" estimates on two Cincinnati-based public companies: Ashland Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co. PayScale's estimate for Ashland's median pay is $72,900. So, CEO William Wulfsohn's $13.4 million pay package is 183 times the median pay for all workers in his company. In WCPO's analysis, Wulfsohn's pay is 207 times the $64,310 average pay for all workers in the chemical manufacturing industry. A.G. Lafley PayScale's estimate for P&G is $76,800, significantly higher than the Labor Department's annual wage estimate of $48,370 for workers in soap and detergents manufacturing industry. In WCPO's analysis, former CEO A.G. Lafley made 378 times the average worker.

Reportedly the regulator is alarmed by the controversial case of oil pipeline monopoly Transneft being awarded RUB67bn (€1bn) compensation on loss incurred from currency hedging operations with Russia's largest lender Sberbank a result of ruble devaluation in 2015. In the meantime Sberbank is trying to find a compromise with Transneft. Sberbank has proposed that Transneft drops its claim in their legal dispute over a derivatives deal in exchange for preferential terms for the bank's products and services, a draft out-of-court settlement put together by the bank said, reports Interfax. Transneft lost RUB67bn ($1.1bn) rubles in a derivatives deal with Sberbank earlier this year in a bad currency bet, but managed to have its obligation to pay annulled by the courts. The court ruled that the RUB67bn was an "excess profit" for Sberbank, which ought to be compensated, as the company had no means to evaluate the possible outcomes of the deal.

At the time of writing our data says that Learning Technologies Group plc has a market cap of UK£646m, and is paying total annual CEO compensation of UK£488k. (This figure is for the year to December 2018). We think total compensation is more important but we note that the CEO salary is lower, at UK£252k. When we examined a selection of companies with market caps ranging from UK£316m to UK£1.3b, we found the median CEO total compensation was UK£916k.

General and administrative expenses were $9.6 million for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to $8.2 million for the comparable period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in employee headcount, which includes the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, which was offset by a decrease in facilities costs, professional fees and legal fees. As of September 30, 2021, AVROBIO had $201.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $259.7 million in cash and cash equivalents as of Dec. 31, 2020.

Digital manufacturing service provider Protolabs (PRLB) has reported a 2.9% revenue decline in its Q3 2022 financial results. During the third quarter, Protolabs generated $121.7 million in revenue, 2.9% less than the $125.3 million it reported in Q3 2021. Although the firm's Hubs business brought in $12.1 million over this period, 38.5% more than it managed a year earlier, its Injection Molding income fell signficantly after seeing a lower level of follow-on orders. "We experienced continued softening of our Injection Molding business, however, we are pleased with the continued growth of our other digital manufacturing services and Hubs business," said Protolabs CEO and President Rob Bodor. "As we face an uncertain economic environment ahead, I am confident in our strategy and the value we bring to market, and the ability of our team to deliver long term revenue growth and profitability."

The sold finished goods volume for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to 20 million and 16 million liters, respectively. Asia EBITDA loss increased $1.2 million to a loss of $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $16.9 million in the prior year period.

This is diametrically opposed to the perceptions around pay at Credit Suisse this year. As Credit Suisse undergoes both internal and external reviews following its $5.4bn in losses relating to Archegos and its embroilment in Greensill Capital's collapse (which could see clients losing $3bn), the fear is that it will be in no position to pay its people in 2021, irrespective of how well they perform. It doesn't help that in the first quarter of 2021, losses in Credit Suisse's investment bank exceeded profits for the entirety of last year, or that compensation spending per head was down 17% year-on-year in the first quarter, or that high earners at CS already had their pay squeezed in 2020.

Simon wasn't the only company whose executives took pay cuts because of the pandemic: At Vornado Realty Trust, chairman Steve Roth halved his salary, while Bob Sulentic at CBRE also gave up his pay entirely. But base pay often represents a small chunk of an executive's total compensation. Simon's 100 percent salary cut is about 12 percent of the $10.4 million he earned in 2019, for example.

Sainsbury's has 185,000 employees, and the hon. Lady's main point is that it is unfair of Sainsbury's to continue paying its CEO a bonus while cutting bonuses and other variable pay for the rest of its 185,000 staff. The company says it has taken steps to improve its pay offer and specifically to put in place measures to support the staff most affected by the proposed changes, which of course I welcome. I wonder whether the hon. Lady is aware of that.

Analysts at Credit Suisse estimate that the various parts — including branded and frozen foods, private-label goods and another division that sells French fries to fast-food chains — could be worth $42 to $43 a share in a full breakup. The rise in ConAgra's shares on Friday put them right in that zone.

Stausholm joined Rio as its Chief Financial Officer in 2018 and will be based in London. Last month, Rio's remuneration committee handed chunky payouts to all three executives forced to leave. Jacques, who stepped down from his role at the end of 2020, received total remuneration of 13.3 million pounds ($18.6 million) under Australian accounting rules, up from 7.1 million pounds a year earlier.

The deceased campaign wasn't for a candidate or a ballot measure — but for the Los Angeles Times. In September, Tribune Publishing, the Chicago media company that owns the Times, fired Times Publisher Austin Beutner after a year on the job. The firing of Beutner — a former investment banker, mayoral candidate and deputy mayor with no previous experience in media — from a very challenging job may have been predictable. But his dismissal touched off controversy. Beutner's supporters portrayed Tribune as distant meddlers in the local paper who saw Beutner as trying to steer the paper to local ownership (billionaire Eli Broad). Tribune executives countered that Beutner couldn't meet company-wide financial targets.

He said the group's declaration was "merely words" and that the junta was happy to let other nations see that Thailand was "adhering to humanitarian principles." The new group was founded on the anniversary of the revolution in 1932 that changed Thailand from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional one. Its name touches on another historical reference, incorporating "Seri Thai" — "Free Thai" — which was what Thailand's World War II anti-Japanese resistance movement was called. The declaration said the "Seri Thai" term "has a deep resonance with ordinary Thais, reflecting their genuine desires for freedom and dignity." Charupong led the Pheu Thai Party that won the 2011 election, and served under Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, sister of Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by a 2006 coup. Since then, supporters and opponents of Thaksin have fought a sometimes violent battle for power.

Activist campaigns had already forced Elbit to sell other subsidiaries. In 2022, it sold its Oldham-based Ferranti P&C after 18 months of protests, and last year it sold Elite KL in the West Midlands after increased security costs eroded profits. The new owners of Elite KL cancelled all defence contracts with Elbit.

Back then it spent millions of dollars on marketing, making bold claims that France's most successful car maker would be selling 20,000 cars annually Down Under by the end of the decade. Just five years later, in 2006, it took a far more conservative attitude resetting its annual goal to 7000 vehicles. At the end of last month Renault had sold less than 1500 vehicles nationally, down 28 per cent on the same time last year, while most of its competitors have enjoyed an upturn in sales as the market looks set to exceed one million for only the third time. This time round, under a new management team, Renault Australia is prepared to take baby steps as it tries to win the support of the Australian car-buying public through its Driving the Change campaign. Gone are the bold sales predictions and fancy marketing, replaced by an expanded model line-up that new Renault Australia boss Justin Hocevar said would have a high level of standard equipment and user-friendly features.

This was a total U-turn, and it was clearly done in response to our letter. The very next day, management asked AECJ to withdraw our shareholder resolution because of Shipment Zero.

DoorDash Inc. and Grubhub Inc. are challenging a San Francisco ordinance permanently capping the fees delivery companies can charge restaurants, claiming the city is retaliating for the industry's support of a ballot measure exempting delivery companies from a state law that would have forced them to treat drivers as employees. In June, San Francisco became the first city to permanently limit the amount third-party delivery companies can charge restaurants to 15% per order. The city initially enacted the policy as a temporary measure in December to protect struggling restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The demerger would reposition both companies for the next decade, Mr Chaney said, and would increase Wesfarmers' returns by shifting its focus towards businesses with higher prospects of future growth. "Coles is of a scale where it should be owned and operated separately, having established a strong corporate infrastructure under the Wesfarmers' model of divisional autonomy," he said. Wesfarmers will have a board seat at Coles, and the two companies will share ownership in the flybuys loyalty business. Coles will list on the ASX on November 21, if shareholders give it their approval.

Amazon also received an eyebrow-raising resolution from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which is opposed to what it calls the "human-supremacist worldview" of "speciesism." PETA asked Amazon (specifically its Whole Foods subsidiary), to report on the feasibility of ending all coconut milk imports from Thailand. PETA claims that the Thai coconut milk industry relies on "forced monkey labor" to harvest coconuts from tall trees, and it wants Amazon to boycott the country until the industry transitions to "monkey-free harvest methods." Somewhat relatedly, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine filed at least eight resolutions at health care companies and airlines concerning vegan meal offerings. One submitted to Encompass Health Corporation asked the company to make "plant-based meals the default option in all food service settings, other than for patients who have special dietary exclusions."

Earlier today I wrote about the billion-dollar convertible bond Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) announced this morning. This bond is the latest salvo in the fight between activist investor Bill Ackman, who thinks Herbalife is a pyramid scheme and has wagered accordingly, and the company. Herbalife is planning to use a large portion of the new bond's proceeds to buy back its stock, trying to offset Ackman's recent upper hand. Just over a week ago the stock fell precipitously, to nearly 30% below the level it had reached earlier in January, amidst a senator's call for a formal congressional inquiry and reports of an investigation in China. In my earlier piece I suggested that several aspects of the convertible issue were even more designed to inflict pain on short-sellers than one might have initially suspected.

Chief Executive Howard Schultz has asked D.C.-area Starbucks employees to write "come together" on customers' cups from now through Friday, as the president meets with congressional leaders to negotiate a deal that prevents automatic spending cuts and tax hikes from taking effect on Jan. 1. The "come together" campaign is in fact not an homage to the Beatles, who wrote a hit song by the same name back in 1969. Rather, as Schultz wrote on the company's blog, the cup campaign is "a respectful and optimistic message to our elected officials to come together and reach common ground on this important issue." "We're paying attention, we're greatly disappointed in what's going on and we deserve better," Schultz told Reuters in a telephone interview. Schultz expressed similar frustration during last year's debt ceiling debacle, when he urged fellow business leaders to withhold campaign contributions until Congress and the White House came to a bipartisan agreement to reduce the deficit.

Ek also stated that Spotify distributes payments to record companies, publishers, and collecting societies, rather than individual artists. He compared the music industry to professional sports, where only a select few can make a sustainable income. Despite this, around $4.5 billion of Spotify's payouts in 2023 went to the independent sector. While Ek's remarks continued to show Spotify's efforts to improve conditions for artists, some critics still believe there is more work to be done surrounding this. As comments accross social channels express frustration, accusing Spotify of withholding fair compensation. Despite generating a 16% increase in revenue in 2023, Spotify remains one of the lowest-paying streaming platforms, second only to YouTube Music. Sharing his thoughts to his followers, Ek states:

In closing, Mattel is not a perfect or cheap stock, as it trades at a PE close to 20 with known headwinds in the coming year. However, I like its prospects for the long term.

Another large bank has paid another large settlement for its behavior before the financial crisis. Bank of America has agreed to pay $16.65 billion to end civil investigations into sales of mortgage-backed securities by Bank of America, Countrywide, the mortgage company it bought in early 2008, and Merrill Lynch, the investment bank it purchased at the height of the financial crisis later that year. Of the $16.65 billion, some $9.65 billion will be in cash penalties, and the remaining $7 billion will be in consumer relief and compensation. The settlement also covers civil claims against the bank by federal prosecutors, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and several state attorney generals, including New York, California, and Illinois. Bank of America's profit in 2013 was $11.43 billion.

A M Naik stood firm throughout negotiations with the Birla group and the L&T Employees Welfare Foundation shareholding in L&T grew to 14.9%. Another 15% was with individual employees as stock options – making a total of 30% stakes in the company. "In the end we kept L&T independent. We ringfenced it from future takeover attempts by setting up the L&T employees welfare foundation that eventually bought Birlas stake. And the Birlas got our demerged cement business that added to their cement production capacity. "It relieved us of a non-core asset-heavy business making us an AAA rated company by drastically cutting out debt equity ratio. It was a win-win for all," Naik said in the book.

He also received a long-term incentive award of R11 million ($573,640) from the lender to acknowledge his unwavering dedication to the group and his wealth of expertise as a seasoned professional. Davis is a name that resonates throughout the corridors of Nedbank Group, a financial giant that has cemented its position as one of Africa's largest banking groups. He has been the lender's CFO and executive director of Nedbank Group since his appointment in 2020.

Insurance typically generates more than 20% of operating profit at Berkshire, which has dozens of businesses including BNSF Railway, Berkshire Hathaway Energy and Dairy Queen ice cream and restaurant chain. Berkshire also invests hundreds of billions of dollars in stocks such as Apple Inc, and has this year invested more than $6.4 billion in Occidental Petroleum Corp. New York-based Alleghany was founded in 1929 by railroad entrepreneurs Oris and Mantis Van Sweringen and was transformed into an insurance and investment operating company under Fred Morgan Kirby II's leadership from 1967 to 1992. CFRA Research's Seifert said Alleghany has long held itself out as a "mini-Berkshire," being an insurance conglomerate that redeploys some of its excess capital in other businesses. Buffett said the companies had "many similarities," including what Brandon described in a letter to Alleghany's more than 13,000 employees as a "shared philosophy of managing businesses for the long term."

In January, it was reported that Elliott Management was preparing to nominate a slate of directors at the software company after taking a multi-billion-dollar position earlier in the year. Elliott publicly called for a sustainable leadership plan and increased management accountability by way of enhanced Board oversight. Just a few months earlier, Starboard Value had criticized the company's subpar growth and profitability relative to its peers. At the same time, ValueAct Capital worked with the company behind the scenes, ultimately extracting a Board seat for the fund's CIO Mason Morfit as a part of a settlement agreement (perhaps in an attempt to "inoculate" the Board). Elliott ultimately declined to run dissident director candidates at Salesforce's annual meeting this year.

Some 61% of shareholder votes came in favour of the proposal despite the executive management recommending shareholders vote against. At the same time, requests for reports on the impact that a significant cut in fossil-fuel demand and political lobbying were both denied by narrow votes. Earlier in the day, Royal Dutch Shell PLC ( LON:RDSB ) lost a landmark case brought forward by seven activist groups, including Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth Netherlands, to challenge its climate strategy.

At the same time, an Oracle-led proxy battle for control of PeopleSofts board grew more intense. Oracle, of Redwood Shores, Calif., late last month announced plans to nominate a slate of four people for the board and said it is seeking to change PeopleSofts bylaws to include a fifth nominee. The latter move is aimed at replacing PeopleSoft board member Michael Maples, who came to the board as a director of J.D. Edwards & Co., which PeopleSoft acquired last year.

Investors including Finger, who led a proxy fight that helped drive Lewis into retirement at the end of 2009, have said that the former CEO overpaid while seeking to expand Bank of America's operations. Lewis agreed to pay $US29 a share for Merrill Lynch & Co the weekend before Lehman Brothers Holdings collapsed in 2008. The $US50 billion deal was a "crazy price," billionaire investor Warren Buffett told the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, according to remarks released this month.

The challenge that lies with EMC management at this point is how to seamlessly integrate offerings from all its prior acquisitions within the 'federation'. The company has maintained its intention to continue with the federation model despite pressure from activist investors to completely spin off growing businesses. EMC has showed capability in managing its businesses, as evidenced by its decision to keep VMware as a separate entity and spinning out Pivotal to encourage growth and innovation. On the other hand, most other companies that EMC has acquired now either stand as different divisions within EMC (content management or information security) or form the part of EMC's core information storage segment.

Nelson Peltz still looms large Activist investor Nelson Peltz, founder of Trian Fund Management, didn't present at CAGNY, but surely his presence was felt. He recently stepped down from Procter & Gamble Co.'s board after nearly four years, a time that saw P&G ditch its old matrix structure and reconfigure its business into six largely independent global business units—a move Peltz lobbied for. P&G CEO Jon Moeller showed a slide of the company structure adopted in 2018 that looked remarkably similar to one Unilever CEO Alan Jope had shown two days earlier outlining his company's recently announced restructuring. Like P&G, Unilever is ditching a country-category matrix structure in favor of five largely independent global business units. It so happens Peltz has recently been acquiring shares of Unilever.

The next two events in SSA's Revoke Coke series are an April 16 slime making night paired with education about exploitation by Coca-Cola in Admin 307, and an April 23 discussion of future action and Kahoot with prizes in Bannan 407. "SU has Earth Month activities, and has their Earth Talks, and are promoting that they are also participating in people versus plastic," Kennedy said. "I think we're just trying to highlight the hypocrisy of Seattle U being able to promote itself as sustainably conscious when it contracts with the world's top plastic polluter." SSA is fighting an uphill battle. Seattle U recently signed a contract continuing their partnership with Coca-Cola, beginning in 2013, for another 10 years. According to SSA, the current contract requires 90% of the drinks sold on campus to be Coca-Cola products.

Despite Mr. Ackman's bearish bet against Herbalife, the company has not been found to be a fraud. He's held on and has now made a tidy profit on his trade after months of being in the red. He had far less success with J. C. Penney, despite gaining a board seat and persuading the struggling retailer to hire Apple's then-vaunted head of retail, Ron Johnson. Later, Mr. Ackman's firm amassed a nearly 10 percent stake in Allergan and relentlessly tried to browbeat the drug manufacturer into deal talks. Yet Allergan ultimately chose to sell itself to Actavis, leaving Mr. Ackman without his initial preferred deal — but with a gigantic trading profit.

The letter asks Wal-Mart to give the nuns access to "electronic data, tape and video recordings, memorandum, correspondence and communications of any type or nature whatsoever" that make references to them. "What has been inadvertently revealed so far may just be the tip of the iceberg," the letter said, noting that the group had been involved in dialogue with Wal-Mart along with other members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility since the 1990s. The January memo became public earlier this month, in interviews given to the Wall Street Journal by Bruce Gabbard, a former employee of Wal-Mart's security department…. Wal-Mart has written to shareholder groups saying that no action was taken in connection with the January memo, "given the nature of the matters proposed and our familiarity with the individual proponents".
