Boohoo Scraps £1 Million Bonuses for Executives After Shareholder Backlash
The fashion retailer's decision follows criticism over awarding bonuses despite missing financial targets and reporting significant losses.
- Boohoo's top executives were initially set to receive £1 million each in bonuses despite the company missing financial and operational targets.
- Shareholders expressed strong disapproval, leading to the decision to forgo the bonus payouts.
- The company reported a pre-tax loss of £150 million for the year ending February 2024, with revenues falling by 17%.
- Boohoo's remuneration committee argued that the bonuses were justified by the 'excellent work' of the executives, despite the financial shortfalls.
- The decision to cancel the bonuses aims to address investor concerns and restore confidence ahead of the upcoming AGM.
