LONDON, April 14 (Reuters) - A majority of BP shareholders voted on Thursday against paying Chief ExecutiveBob Dudley $20 million for 2015, in a rare move reflectingoutrage over the proposed remuneration after the oil companyposted losses.
Even though the vote is non-binding, BP executives said theywould consider it very seriously and that they were planning toreview the remuneration mechanism in the next few months. Some59.11 percent of shareholders voted against the pay.
