Pay for performance? The following quote is from Aecon's 2013 "Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders......"
Despite a 52.7% decrease in the Corporation's TSR from December 31st, 2007 to December 31, 2012, the base salaries of the NEOs have increased approximately 36.7% during the same period as a result of raises and promotions.
With so much public money flowing into infrastructure since the financial crisis in 2008, how did Aecon manage to perform so poorly? - Could it have something to do with the composition of its Board of Directors? The oldest Member of the Board is 80 and the average age is in the senior citizen range. Who is there to bring fresh ideas to this company?
I am ready to give up on Aecon.
