Halcon in shake-up as pressure mounts

摘要

SEVERAL members of US independent Halcon Resources' upper management have resigned amid shareholder pressure, including chief executive Floyd Wilson, who has been lambasted by activist investor Fir Tree Partners for his compensation package and private jet use amid a volatile market, writes Caroline Evans. Wilson resigned last week, also relinquishing his roles as president and chairman of the board of directors, to "pursue other interests," Halcon said. James Christmas, who serves as lead independent director and chairman of the audit committee, has been appointed non-executive chairman.
