June 5 (Reuters) - Chemours ( CC ) named Shane Hostetter
as its CFO on Wednesday, weeks after the exit of predecessor
Jonathan Lock over an internal review showing senior management
manipulated certain incentive-related targets.
Shares of the chemicals company rose 1.3% to $23.41 in
morning trade.
Hostetter was earlier the CFO of Quaker Chemical ( KWR ), an
industrial process fluids firm. He takes over on July 1 from
interim finance chief Matt Abbott.
Earlier this year, the internal review resulted in the
company's top three executives, including Lock and CEO Mark
Newman, being placed on administrative leave. Chemours ( CC ) also
revised certain past financial results following the review.
"We believe the appointment of Shane Hostetter as new
permanent CFO ... puts the company in a more stable position,"
said Arun Viswanathan, analyst at RBC Capital Markets.
"In his prior roles, Mr. Hostetter was also able to
oversee significant growth, global ERP (enterprise resource
planning) implementation, price, cost-cutting, and
deleveraging."
Chemours ( CC ) revealed in a regulatory filing that Hostetter will
receive an annual base salary of $600,000 and a signing bonus of
$50,000.
