The committee also offered contempt for the refinery’s plan to pay eight top executives as much as $20 million in bonuses if the company generates $1 billion in net proceeds from a sale and an insurance recovery. The bonus plan is excessive, the committee said, and does not take into account the “lavish” $5.25 million in retention bonuses that the refinery “secretly doled out” to the same executives just days after the fire, but before the company declared bankruptcy.
