UniCredit is proposing hiking Orcel’s fixed salary by 30% while a corresponding increase in the variable pay would be tied to the group beating financial targets.
Hitting 2023 goals would leave Orcel with the same overall pay of up to 7.5 million euros ($5.33 million) as in 2022, making him one of Europe’s best paid bank executives, thanks to a reduction in the compensation’s variable component, which will be all in shares and spread over a longer period.
“The suggestion that Dame Jayne-Anne left the bank ‘after skirmishes … over [chief executive] pay’ is false, as we have repeatedly said”, Chairman Pier Carlo Padoan said in a letter to the Financial Times, referring to an opinion piece published by the British newspaper on March 13.
