JPMorgan shareholders vote down pay bump for CEO Jamie Dimon
CNN
JP Morgan Chase investors on Tuesday voted down a multimillion-dollar payout for CEO Jamie Dimon.
The pay proposal they rejected included a massive $52.6 million retention bonus as part of Dimon's 2021 compensation package, just months after the bank's board approved the incentive. With the bonus, Dimon's total compensation was $84.4 million in 2021, up from $31.7 million in 2020.
But Dimon may yet get that payout. The compensation package is for 2021 and results of the "say on pay" votes are non-binding. Still, this is an embarrassing blow to the bank, not to mention Dimon himself, and JPMorgan's board said it takes investor feedback "seriously."
