Glencore Xstrata Plc appointed former BP Plc Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward as interim chairman after John Bond was ousted by shareholders of the world’s largest exporter of power-station coal. Bond stepped down at the start of Glencore’s annual general meeting in Zug, Switzerland, saying he didn’t have enough support. Shareholders voted 80.85 percent against his selection, Glencore said in a statement later. The company is seeking candidates and consulting with major external shareholders, and Hayward will step down once a replacement is found, it said.
