A prominent proxy-advisory firm encouraged London Stock Exchange Group Plc shareholders to vote down a plan that could allow the company to more than double Chief Executive Officer David Schwimmer’s pay for his work this year.

LSEG has asked investors to approve a revamped remuneration policy at the company’s annual meeting of shareholders in the coming weeks. With the changes, Schwimmer could be handed as much as £13.2 million ($16.7 million) for his work this year, up from a maximum of £6.35 million in 2023, according to Glass Lewis & Co.
