Brewer's top brass get warning vote
Shareholders fired a warning shot at brewing powerhouse SABMiller this week, with 8.2% of them voting to reject the group's remuneration report at its AGM on Thursday.
This is an unusually high number of votes against the amount paid to directors at the world's second-largest brewer, which sells beer in 75 countries.
This came after London-based governance adviser PIRC said shareholders should veto the proposal because the pay was "highly excessive".
