The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has issued a warning to the shareholders of Cable and Wireless Worldwide over its executive pay policy and its recent boardroom changes.

The ABI amber-top alert was prompted by a boardroom shakeup and recent profit warning at C&W Worldwide, according to the Financial Times.

The ABI also issued an alert to Cable and Wireless Communications, C&W Worldwide's sister company.

One investor recently complained about the pay of C&W Worldwide chief executive Jim Marsh and chairman John Pluthero, who were paid millions of pounds through a pay plan based on share price performance before a company demerger.

C&W Worldwide's share price has dropped 48% since the demerger.
