Big payoff awaits new chief if he turns I.B.M. around
Article Abstract:
Louis V. Gerstner, IBM's new chairman and CEO, will earn $2 million in 1993, in addition to a $5 million one-time compensation for quitting his job at RJR Nabisco and a stock option of 500,000 IBM shares. Analysts contend, however, that Gerstner's compensation is not exorbitant, considering the difficult task of turning the ailing company around. Gerstner's real payoff is expected to come only when IBM's shares will increase in value over the next several years. If IBM's stocks go up, Gerstner will earn $500,000 for every dollar increase; if their value decreases, his stock options will not be worth anything. IBM's shares plunged $1.625, to $50.125 on Mar 30, 1993.
