The chairman Charles Milhaud, director general Nicolas Merindol and finance director Julien Carmona quit at the meeting. The bank said it lost 600 million euros (800 million dollars) in a derivatives trading "incident" on October 6 as world share markets were crashing over the global finance crisis.
