by the time Obama is done with America they will be calling it France…or Fatter France
Heaven forbid anyone at the times (or AP) compute the value of the options now, for comparisons sake…
WTF?! Jamie Dimon should be at the top. Chesapeake Energy and Motorola (moreso) have been complete shit for the past year. Motorola shouldn’t even have money for an incentive award. Must suck to be a shareholder for companies like that.
Sanjay really did a bang-up job at Motorola
@3- hello? can you read the headline? obviously these numbers are a bit off from what they’re at now.
Anal,
Nothing is preventing you from doing that yourself.
solid gold.

CNBC the movie
@7- solid gold for people who dont watch cnbc/read dealbreaker every day and know all of that already.
IMHO Camilleri is the only one that has earned his keep
@4 Sanjay, is that you? Wouldn’t expect any less from a turd like you …
Here you go Anal_yst-my bill is in the mail
Aubrey :25,000 shares avg strike:$10.08 value:$6M
Sanjay 16.6M shares avg strike $9.82($71M)
Robert 5M shares as:$27.53 v:~($10M)

Kevin 1.9M as: $22.83 v:$12.4M
Jamie 8.7M as:32.1 v:$18.8M
disclaimers-options awarded all types-values approx based on yesterdays closed
questions-dont care-too busy
I love that Aubrey got a shit-ton of options/awards to help make up for the fact that he had to sell like $1 billion worth in a margin call. What a d-bag
aubrey’s had them since 03-nothing new awarded
Chenault needs to be punched in the face
Iger needs to be kicked in the sack
-that is all
Obviously Sanjay was the smartest guy in the room.
@11
Appreciate it, but my point was more the clearly-biased reporting by the AP and the NYT in not posting “awarded” value vs. current value.
I’d boil it down to a lack of journalistic integrity, but I’m not entirely honest the editorial staff even understands why presenting only the initial award value doesn’t present an accurate measure…
Sanjay. Call me.

@13 WTF are you talking about? They redid McClendon’s contract in December 2008 and it included a one-time cash bonus of $75 million and at least $30 million or so of stock plus some other ridiculous stuff.
No worries Anal_yst. If they knew what they were doing and stated todays values it would probably be wrong. I would have looked at a few and pointed it out anyway. these filings area bitch. BTW does the AP still send a $5 check to stringers haha
18-I just looked at options, not direct holdings-that was the question.
yeah bess cut off the full sentence:
“The total pay figures are rounded and are based on the AP’s compensation formula, which adds up salary, perks, bonuses, preferential interest rates on pay set aside for later, and company estimates for the value of stock options and stock awards on the day they were granted last year.”
so those numbers aren’t just options
@aj– perhaps the sentence was cut off b/c the key point was this shit is being calculated from its value “LAST YEAR”?
@21 you sound just like my accountant of a girlfriend. Too much analysis and not enough “putting out”
@24 For a lot of them (particularly Jha), the values will be misleading since most of his comp was stock and the value of the stock has plummeted since the grant date. However, for someone like Aubrey who was paid mostly in cash, that $100 million+ number is not overstating what he was paid, particularly since his contract was done at year end and the stock is actually up since then.

Also just looking at options isn’t too useful since a lot of them (Philip Morris) received stock grants.
f me and my double-posting, i’m quitting after that
@5: What the hell does that have to do with anything?! Who cares what they’ll be in the future, when your company is being run like shit, you don’t award the CEO a $100+ MM option contract. Are you on the Citi board, by chance?
Chenault is a piece of shit, whom I wouldn’t hire to carry the shit from my ass to the water in the toilet bowl.
Correct salary for numbers 1-10 = number/10
