LONDON (CNNMoney) -- Shareholders in mining group Xstrata have blocked bonuses worth about $220 million promised to top executives as an incentive to stay at the company after its takeover by commodities trader Glencore. Among shareholders eligible to vote, 78% opposed a motion to approve the merger with the incentive payments. A second motion was passed allowing the deal to proceed without the "golden handcuffs." Responding to the defeat, Xstrata Chairman John Bond said he would resign once the merger had been completed and a successor identified. Chief Executive Mick Davis said he regretted the vote against the payments because it added "unnecessary risks to the merged company's future value proposition." The takeover is one of the biggest in mining and could lead to further consolidation in the industry.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
