South Financial Group settles suits over former CEO retirement
The South Financial Group agrees to pay 500000 to settle two shareholder lawsuits over Mack Whittle’s 18 million retirement package and his planned resignation once a judge signs off. Whittle will donate 250000 of retirement benefits to the settlement, with 300000 cash insured and 200000 in stock. An independent director will join the board as part of changes to governance aimed at ending litigation. The board says the terms protect shareholders while focusing on banking business.
