Bank to claw back up to £2m in bonus pay-outs
Lloyds Banking Group is taking back up to £2m in bonuses from about 10 current and former senior bankers over their role in the payment protection insurance (PPI) mis-selling scandal.
PPI mis-selling cost the bank £3.2bn pounds last year.
The bonus withdrawal will be the first time a British bank has used a claw-back option on executive pay packages since the financial crisis, the BBC has reported.
Former Lloyds chief executive Eric Daniels will lose up to £700,000 of his £1.45m bonus for 2010, while three other current and former directors will each have to forgo up to £250,000.
A further six executives, below board level, will be stripped of around £100,000 each, the BBC added.
In April 2011, the industry lost a High Court battle to stop customers demanding compensation. Lloyds announced weeks after the decision it was setting aside £3.2bn for likely payouts.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
