Manulife Financial chief executive officer Dominic D'Alessandro retires from the company in May, but he'll leave with a generous pay packet.
D'Alessandro's total compensation for 2008 was $13.25 million, down from $17 million in 2007. The $13.25 million includes a salary of $1.36 million, $3.9 million in share-based awards, $3.9 million in options-based awards, $2.1 million in pension and nearly $2 million in perks, dividends and other compensation.
D'Alessandro will also be paid $12.6 million for 2009, including $10 million in restricted share units and $2.5 million in cash. The restricted shares will be awarded May 29 and he can't sell them until December 2011.
Manulife reported a $1.87-billion loss in the fourth quarter of 2008, and its stock price has lost about half its value since January.
D'Alessandro held about $69.9 million worth of Manulife stock on March 2.
