Shareholders Mull Sorrell's Pay Plan

Although Martin Sorrell’s latest compensation plan at WPP Group has reportedly raised eyebrows in the U.K., here in the States, it has been received with guarded optimism. “Is it expensive? It appears to be,” said one WPP shareholder. Nevertheless, his firm will vote for the plan: “Is it worth it? Yes.”
The WPP CEO, who stands to reap approximately $55 million worth of company shares next month under terms of his current incentive package, plans to reinvest those holdings into a new plan that could net him another $50 million worth of shares in five years.
