Compensation for Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan, shown testifying March 12 before Congress, includes a $2 million"incentive award."
Lawmakers scolded Wells Fargo & Co. Chief Executive Tim Sloan for hours Tuesday, telling him the bank had not done enough to rehabilitate itself after years of scandals about its allegedly abusive practices toward customers. Some called for Sloan to be fired. The next day, the bank’s board of directors gave Sloan a 5% raise, increasing his total compensation to $18.4 million. Of that, $2 million is an “annual incentive award” — that is, a bonus.Sloan’s pay is now 283 times the median pay of the bank’s more than 200,000 employees.
The bonus was based on Wells Fargo’s “financial performance” and Sloan’s “continued leadership on the company’s top priority of rebuilding trust,” Wells Fargo said in its annual letter to shareholders. The company’s stock price fell 27% last year in a tough market, but its yearly profit rose to $22.4 billion, up from $22.2 billion in 2017, and the company’s board noted that Sloan had led a massive stock buyback program.
“Would have loved to ask questions about this,” Rep. Katie Porter said on Twitter of Sloan’s pay raise. Porter had questioned the sincerity of Wells Fargo’s efforts to reform itself during Tuesday’s hearing.Despite his raise, Sloan still earns less than many of his competitors. JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon earned $31 million last year after the bank reported record profits. Bank of America Corp.’s Brian Moynihan received a 15% raise to $26.5 million. Michael Corbat of Citigroup Inc.
