BP PLC (BP, BP.LN) unveiled a management shake up, promoting the head of its exploration and production arm, Lamar McKay, to the new position of deputy chief executive.

Credit Suisse Group AG (CS, CSGN.VX) and Barclays PLC (BCS, BARC.LN) agreed to pay $154.3 million combined to settle investigations by regulators into their "dark pools," officials said.

ADRs of Luxottica Group SpA (LUX, LUX.MI) fell 3.9% to $59.15 on Monday amid concerns that the reassertion of control by founder Leonardo Del Vecchio could leave it with a weak management structure at a time of intensifying competition and slowing sales. Late Friday, the Milan company--whose brands include Lenscrafters, Sunglass Hut, Ray Ban and Oakley-- said co-chief executive Adil Khan was departing. Mr. Del Vecchio, 80 years old and the company's majority owner, will assume Mr. Khan's executive powers on an interim basis, possibly until 2017.

Norway's Petroleum Safety Authority slammed oil and gas producer Statoil ASA (STO, STL.OS) for serious breaches of regulations after a 2015 leak at the Gudrun field in the North Sea.

ADRs fell 3.2% to $13.16.
