The senior management team at Morrisons is preparing for attacks from investors at its AGM on Tuesday, following a £3 million payout to former chief executive Dalton Philips, who was sacked in January.
He was replaced by David Potts who has said that he is working towards a “simpler, leaner and cost-conscious business”.
The company’s remuneration package is widely expected to come under attack on Tuesday, with 20% or more votes cast to be against the pay report.
Morrisons has declined to comment ahead of the AGM vote.
