Helge Lund received sum, which does not include £9.7m of shares, after short tenure at oil firm that was later taken over by Shell
Helge Lund, the former chief executive of BG, was paid £5.5m for his 11-month tenure at the oil exploration and production company, which was taken over by Shell earlier this year.
The figure for the short period he worked for BG in 2015 does not include £9.7m of shares he received in February 2016, when the takeover took place after being approved by shareholders – triggering the share payout from the BG scheme.
