About 50% of Shell Shareholders Fail to Back Bonus, FT Says
By Sarah Shannon
May 20 (Bloomberg) — Just less than half of Royal Dutch Shell Plc‘s voting shareholders failed to back a plan to award three executives bonuses of 1 million euros ($1.57 million) each to stay in their jobs, the Financial Times reported.
One third of shareholders today opposed the plan, and combined with those who withheld their vote, 49.5 percent did not support it, the FT reported.
The company plans to pay the retention bonuses in 2011 to Peter Voser, chief financial officer; Malcolm Brinded, head of exploration and production; andLinda Cook, gas and power chief, if they are still in their jobs, the FT said. The trio are the likely candidates to succeed Chief Executive Officer Jeroen van der Veer who steps down in June next year, according to the newspaper.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
