The salary commission is “unlikely” to decide the allowance for the general director dismissed by the state
The chairman of the TAP remuneration committee said the body had not, and is “likely” not to consider, paying a bonus to a former executive president fired by a shareholder.
“The Remuneration Committee did not consider [sobre bónus à ex-CEO]. Given the facts known to date[quarta-feira]hardly […] will be discussing a variable remuneration for a person who has been fired by a shareholder,” Thiago Aires Mateus replied to Cheg’s deputy Filipe Melo on the TAP investigation committee.
The MP from Chega questioned the head of the commission that sets the remuneration of the airline’s governing bodies about the statements of the Minister of Infrastructure, Joao Galamba, who in February, before the resignation of the presidents of the company, said that “the pay commission decided to establish in accordance with the agreement the gross remuneration”, but did not establish in 2021, when Christine Urmier-Widener joined the company, “a bonus for a very simple reason, because the bonus is entirely tied to the successful restructuring of TAP.”
When asked by blockade deputy Mariana Mortagua if the former director general was eligible to claim the prize, Thiago Aires Matheus considered it “an impromptu statement on this issue for the remuneration committee.” “The thing is, I was never called to discuss it,” he assured.
“The remuneration committee, of which I am a member, will not decide on bonuses for a director who has been removed by a shareholder,” Aires Mateusz repeated.
Thiago Aires Matheus only spoke once to Christine Urmier-Widener
The chairman of the TAP remuneration committee says that no member of the government has spoken to him formally or informally.
Thiago Aires Matheus also reveals that he only spoke once to former TAP executive president Christine Urmier-Widener early in his term. The chairman of the TAP Compensation Committee adds that Cristina never took the initiative to contact him, nor did the opposite happen.
The TAP Compensation Committee was not informed about Alexandra Reis compensation
Thiago Aires Matheus reports that the TAP Compensation Committee did not deal with the compensation of Alexandra Reis and only learned about it from the newspapers.
The Chairman of the Compensation Committee confirms that he was also the administrator of the airline from November 13, 2015 to July 30, 2017, when asked by Mariana Mortagua.
Thiago Aires Matheus: “I don’t think it’s my mission as chairman of the TAP remuneration committee to speak out on this”
