Bosses at Bowleven said an open letter COC published on Wednesday was inaccurate on a number of counts. The board pointed out that they were awarded remuneration totalling $33million over 10 years, not $44million, as COC claimed. They also challenged COC's claims that Bowleven's board had questionable independence and had used a share buy-back programme to "temporarily influence the share price". Bowleven is urging its shareholders to vote against COC's resolutions at the meeting.
