Washington, DC, United States (AHN) - Obama’s Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg ordered compensation cuts of up to 33 percent for executives at several firms that still hold bailout funds from TARP.
Speaking at a press conference Tuesday, Feinberg said compensation reductions will be required at AIG, Chrysler, Chrysler Financial, General Motors and GMAC.
All five firms have yet to payback all funds received from TARP.
Between the five firms, a total of 119 executives will see their 2010 compensation fall by roughly 15 percent. However, more than half of those executives will see compensation packages north of $ 1 million.
AIG Chief Executive Robert Benmosche is eligible for $3 million in a cash salary, the most of the 119 executives, while possibly seeing pay as high as $10.5 million through long-term stock options. There are four other executives that are eligible to receive at least $1 million in cash compensation for 2010.
Executives at Chrysler and GMAC were not as lucky with no one eligible for more than $500,000 for the year.
Feinberg, 64, who has been policing pay packages at bailed out firms since last June, said that executives from AIG’s Financial Products unit have paid back the $45 million in bonuses they promised to return, according to a CNNMoney.com report.
The Pay Czar also said he plans to review compensation practices during a four month period in late 2008 to early 2009 at the 419 firms that received bailout money.
