New RBS Chief To Forgo Bonus Until 2015
The new boss of the Royal Bank of Scotland will not take any bonus for his role until 2015.
Shares in the bank fell 5% despite the announcement of a pre-tax profit of £1.4bn, up from a £1.7bn loss last year. It is understood that investors had expected a greater improvement.
Currently head of the bank's retail arm, the incoming chief executive, 56-year-old Ross McEwan, will take over the role in October, earning a salary of £1m.
Mr McEwan is quoted as saying: "Our focus is now on building a really good bank for our customers and shareholders, returning the bank to private ownership, and playing our full part in supporting the UK economy."
The new chief executive will not receive a pension from the bank, instead he will take a cash sum equivalent to 35% of his salary.
