Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RR.LN) said Monday that executive
directors won't receive a salary increase this year, but that its
long-term incentive plan, or LTIP, has paid out for the first time
in four years.
The British aircraft-engine maker's remuneration committee
approved the LTIP payout as the 2016 targets have been met, despite
the well-publicized operational issues regarding the Trent 1000
engines and delays delivering widebody airliner engines.
The committee's Chairman Ruth Cairnie attributed the decision to
actions taken by Chief Executive Warren East and his team. The
disclosure was made in the company's 2018 annual report that was
made public Monday.
Mr. East's total remuneration package for 2018 was 3.9 million
pounds ($5.2 million), up from GBP2.3 million in 2017. His payout
includes a basic salary of GBP944,000, an LTIP payout of GBP1.7
million and bonus of GBP1 million as well as other benefits.
The company also said that Chief Financial Officer Stephen
Daintith's package was GBP3.1 million in 2018, up from GBP2.4
million a year earlier. His payout included a base salary of
GBP680,000, a bonus of GBP608,000 and LTIP payout of GBP1.6
million.
The company said it provides competitive salaries suitable to
attract and retain individuals of the right caliber to develop and
execute the business strategy. It added that the committee has
reviewed the salary levels of the executive directors and decided
not to make any increases for 2019.
