HP proxy: Ray Lane’s $10 million plus comp and other fun facts — Tech News and Analysis:
Lane, who became executive chairman of HP on September 22, 2011 (he had been non-executive chairman since November 1, 2010, the start of HP’s FY 2011) logged more than $10 million in total compensation — the bulk of it in stock and options — for the fiscal year, according to the HP proxy.
Other highlights from the proxy:
Meg Whitman who famously took the HP CEO position in September for $1 in salary, gets $16 million in stock and options. Former CEO Leo Apotheker walked away with $30.4 million when he was fired by HP last September.
Except for my first year tenure, when they couldn’t even afford that. (but don’t feel bad for me, according to them, I was very well compensated).
