Sep 18, 2009 (Detroit Free Press - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- VC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- After objections from its creditors and major customers, Visteon Corp., which is reorganizing in bankruptcy protection, has slashed its plan to pay bonuses to its top executives and managers by 85%.

Visteon proposes paying up to $11.4 million in bonuses to a total of 95 people through a bonus plan and long-term incentive plan that are based on meeting financial goals and other milestones. The company expects to pay out $8.7 million of the plan.

The original plan proposed up to $80 million to more than 2,400 people.

The new plan, Visteon said, has support from committees of its creditors and lenders.

Meanwhile, Visteon has reached a deal with General Motors Co. in which the automaker would pay more than $30 million to move some of its Visteon contracts in fuel tanks and interiors to other suppliers. The deal also will accelerate GM's payments to Visteon from 47 days to 15 days.

"Visteon will receive immediate liquidity and an opportunity to wind down undesirable operations in the most cost-effective manner possible, and GM is ensured of continuity of component parts produced by Visteon until it can transition production elsewhere," the company said in a court filing describing the deal.

The plan will lead to the sale or closure of Visteon's plants in Springfield, Ohio, and Eureka, Mo.

As for the incentive plan, Visteon emphasized that it must pay bonuses to encourage its employees to cut costs and exit bankruptcy quickly because it is difficult to win business while reorganizing in Chapter 11.

A hearing about the incentive plan is slated for Oct. 7.
