HSBC says 89 percent of shareholders at AGM approve pay plan

Europe's biggest bank HSBC said on Friday 89 percent of shareholders at its annual general meeting approved its executive pay plan for 2012.

Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver was paid 7.4 million pounds last year despite the bank being fined $1.9 billion for breaches in anti-money laundering controls.
