杜克能源收購(gòu)前進(jìn)能源

????今年6月，杜克能源（Duke Energy）收購(gòu)前進(jìn)能源（Progress Energy）的交易成交后，威廉·約翰遜在合并后的新公司的CEO寶座上只坐了幾個(gè)小時(shí)，就被榮升總裁的原杜克能源CEO詹姆斯·羅杰斯炒了魷魚，羅杰斯隨后把自己安排到了CEO的位子上。

????杜克能源收購(gòu)前進(jìn)能源的合約早在一年多以前就已簽訂，這場(chǎng)“董事會(huì)政變”說明新領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的人選早就內(nèi)定好了。不過杜克能源的算盤最后也落空了。到了12月初，由于北卡羅萊納州的監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)不滿羅杰斯的操縱董事會(huì)“政變”的伎倆，羅杰斯自己也不得不宣布辭職。

Duke Energy -- Progress Energy

????William Johnson's reign as CEO of the utility company formed from?Duke Energy's?(DUK,Fortune 500)?acquisition of Progress lasted just a few hours. Shortly after the deal closed in July, Duke's CEO James Rogers got the board to boot Johnson, and install none other than Rogers in his place.

????The boardroom coup uncovered long simmering reservations about the deal, which was inked more than a year before. Duke apparently unsuccessfully tried to get out of it. By early December, Rogers said he was leaving too, pushed out in a settlement with North Carolina regulators who were unimpressed with Rogers' boardroom tactics.
