What has happened to BAE sp? I have been holding and awaiting next divi, since bought back in at 480p. All brokers reckon 650-660p within 6 months? So topped up today at 535p, before started raising again and stopping for day at 539? Not sure how and why, but this should be over 600p before ex-divi date of 17 Oct, the II’s are making a killing here.

Purchase of Partnership shares under the BAE Systems Share Incentive Plan

________________________________________________________________________

totally different.

If you earn upwards of 0.5 million per year it is not unreasonable (imo) that you should be substantially invested in the business (personally), and this is often written into the contract.

RBS CEO....

Alison Rose's remuneration arrangements have been set in accordance with the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders. The remuneration package includes a base salary of £1,100,000 per annum, a fixed share allowance set at 100% of salary and standard benefit funding of £26,250 per annum. Remuneration for Alison has been set at a level that reflects the fact that the current CEO's salary has been unchanged since his appointment in 2013.
Pension funding has been set at 10% of salary. This is in line with the pension rate applicable to the wider RBS workforce and recognises emerging best practice under the UK Corporate Governance Code and investor guidelines.
Variable pay will be delivered entirely in shares as long-term incentive awards, with a maximum award of 175% of salary. Alison will be required to build up and maintain a minimum shareholding equal to 400% of salary.
Alison's remuneration package continues to represent a restrained pay position in terms of comparable roles. Any further increases will be reviewed annually subject to satisfactory performance and development in role.
