Shareholders from the British fashion house Burberry are up in arms about a proposed pay package for its CEO. They rejected a resolution at the company's annual general meeting to provide newly-appointed CEO Christopher Bailey with a multi-million-dollar remuneration deal. The vote was 52.7 per cent against the resolution. Executives proposed to hand Mr Bailey a $12.3 million "golden hello", an annual salary of up to $17 million and shares worth up to $33 million by 2018. The share package has been called a "golden handcuffs" arrangement to stop him from joining a rival company in the next few years. He will also receive add-ons for pensions and performance bonuses.

英國(guó)時(shí)尚商店巴寶莉的股東對(duì)于付給公司CEO薪資報(bào)酬的提議，感到很憤怒。他們?cè)诠灸陼?huì)上反對(duì)支付CEO克里斯托弗.貝利數(shù)百萬(wàn)年薪的決定。反對(duì)這項(xiàng)決定的人數(shù)達(dá)52.7%。執(zhí)行主管提議付給貝利先生1230萬(wàn)美元的高額薪資。年薪高達(dá)1700萬(wàn)美元，到2018年股份價(jià)值達(dá)到3300萬(wàn)美元。這一股份包被稱(chēng)作“黃金手銬”手段，目的是阻止貝利在今后幾年加入競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的公司。貝利還會(huì)享受額外的福利，以及績(jī)效獎(jiǎng)金。

Burberry chairman Sir John Peace defended the package. He said he was "disappointed" and would talk to shareholders. He said: "I want to understand why they felt so strongly to vote against." He said the packages for Bailey and his predecessor Angela Ahrendts were to keep "world-class executives" at the company. Under Ms Ahrendts' guidance between 2006 and 2014, the company's sales increased to over $3.4 billion, and shares gained more than threefold to $12 billion. Peace pointed out that many companies around the world would be willing to pay Mr Bailey a lot more. He added that Bailey was "worth every penny". Bailey joined Burberry in 2001 as Design Director and became Creative Director in 2004.

巴寶莉董事長(zhǎng)莊貝斯支持這一薪資待遇。他說(shuō)自己感到很失望，并且會(huì)找股東進(jìn)行談話。他說(shuō)，他想知道他們?yōu)槭裁磿?huì)如此堅(jiān)決地投反對(duì)票。他說(shuō)，公司給予貝利的薪資待遇，以及安吉拉.阿倫的茨前輩的薪資報(bào)酬，是為了將世界級(jí)的主管留在公司。阿倫的茨女士在2006年至2014年之間在公司擔(dān)任主管，在此期間，公司產(chǎn)品的銷(xiāo)量增長(zhǎng)至3400億美元。而且，公司份額翻三倍，高達(dá)120億美元。皮斯指出，世界上的許多公司都想要付給貝利先生更高的薪酬。他還說(shuō)，付給貝利高額薪資是非常值得的。2001年，巴寶莉公司聘用貝利做設(shè)計(jì)總監(jiān)，而后在2004年，成為公司的創(chuàng)意總監(jiān)。
