Origin Energy 2016 AGM

When I reviewed the remuneration arrangements for Frank Calabria, the MD/CEO elect at Origin Energy back on 9 September 2016 - see this wire (VIEW LINK) - I suggested there was going to be an issue about whether the Board would still proceed with what it proposed in the 2016 Remuneration Report released on 18 August: ask shareholders to approve deferred STI (from 2015) and an LTI grant to current MD/CEO Grant King. Today's AGM notice of meeting includes a resolution to make an LTI grant of options and performance rights to King at the upcoming AGM on 19 October 2016. Reading this I thought back to other companies that sought shareholder approval for an LTI grant to CEO who was leaving...and the first example I thought of was QBE Insurance 2013 AGM where shareholders were asked to approve grants to Frank O'Halloran who had, by this time, actually left.
