Deven Sharma, president of Standard & Poor's, testifies before a
subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee in Washington, D.C.,
U.S., in July 2011.

Sharma will be replaced as president of the ratings agency by Douglas
Peterson, chief operating officer of Citibank effective Sept. 12, S&P's
parent company McGraw-Hill [MHP 37.04 0.04 (+0.11%) ] said in a
statement.
The company said it began a search for a new president for S&P after the
company split S&P into two separate organizations at the end of last year.
The Financial Times, which first reported news of Sharma's resignation, said
his resignation is not related to S&P's downgrade of the United States'
credit rating or reports that the agency is being probed by the U.S. Justice
Department in connection with its ratings of mortgage securities.
S&P has been under fire from lawmakers, market players and the U.S. Treasury
Department since its decision to cut the U.S. credit rating earlier this
month, and just last week, news emerged that the Justice Department is
investigating the firm over its actions on mortgages leading up to the
financial crisis.
The board of McGraw-Hill Companies made the decision to replace Sharma at a
meeting where it also discussed its ongoing strategic review on Monday, the
Financial Times said.
McGraw-Hill directors and executives met on Monday with Jana Partners LLC, a
hedge fund, and the Ontario Teacher's Pension Fund to hear their arguments
that the company should be broken up. | a*******8 发帖数: 2299 | | N********n 发帖数: 8363 | 3 This sucker nation is going down. | i****e 发帖数: 385 | | a*******8 发帖数: 2299 | 5 阿三掌权的公司迟早会给搞垮,这个rule屡试不爽 |
