(Reuters) – The pay of Royal Dutch Shell’s former chief executive, Peter Voser, halved to $11.24 million last year following what the company described as a disappointing performance. Shell suspended its controversial Arctic drilling programme earlier this year and pledged to cut spending and streamline operations following disappointing earnings in the fourth quarter of 2013 that were the least profitable for five years. “The business performance in 2013 was disappointing. This is reflected in the reward outcomes for the year,” Shell’s head of remuneration committee Hans Wijers said on Thursday. The company said it had also trimmed the base salary of new chief executive, Ben van Beurden, to reflect shareholder sentiment. He will receive a base salary of 1.4 million euros ($1.95 million) compared with Voser’s 1.64 million euros.
