While RBS did get a bailout and where virtually bankrupt and probably still are, BCS turned down government money in order to get money from the Middle East. This ended being more dilutive to shareholders than a government bailout, but the board got to get their own terms and they will obviously not be affected by restrictions on executive pay.
