BP Will Withdraw £32.4 Million in Compensation from Ex-CEO Looney Following Investigation into Inaccurate Communication and Personal Relationships.
BP announced the withdrawal of up to £32.4 million (US$ 40.59 million) in compensation from former CEO Bernard Looney, after the British oil giant concluded that he ‘knowingly deceived’ the board regarding personal relationships with colleagues.
The company decided to terminate the former chairman without notice as of December 13, stating that Looney will not receive any more salaries or benefits from the date of dismissal, nor will he receive an annual bonus for the fiscal year 2023.
Irish Looney resigned in September effective immediately, after less than four years in the role, for not fully disclosing prior personal relationship details with colleagues.
