LONDON, April 29 (Reuters) - Advertising boss Martin Sorrell
described a move by his former company WPP to deny him
share awards as petty, motivated by anger and a bit rich, adding
that he had left his lawyers to deal with it.
WPP, the world's biggest advertising company, said in its
Annual Report that it would not pay its former CEO Sorrell his
share incentive awards due to what it said were leaks of
confidential client information to the media.
"It's a bit rich that they're accusing me of leaks, given
their own over the last three years," he told Reuters. "They've
had to go back several years to try and find an excuse to deny
me what's mine.
"I’ve left it to my lawyers to deal with."
