Culp’s Compensation

As you are about to get your pensions and benefits screwed with and many people sent out the door, the fat cats continue to take care of their own. I guess they have to come up with their millions somewhere....

“ The package also includes a base salary of $2.5 million, an annual bonus that could reach $3.75 million, and equity grants that could reach $15 million per year, depending on Culp's and GE's performance.”

"... a one-time inducement award of PSUs that will pay out (except in the case of a termination of employment by the Company for cause or by Mr. Culp without good reason, and subject to proration in certain events) as a number of GE shares ranging from 2.5 million to 7.5 million shares, based on a GE stock price appreciation target ranging from 50% to 150% using the highest average closing price over 30 consecutive trading days during the four-year period from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2022, with no payout for stock price appreciation of less than 50%”

Just remember though, it’s the salary and hourly chumps on the floor that are overpaid.

He probably will lay off you jokers. It's an easy way to boost the stock price and will give ita quick boost. It's not like any of you are necessary for GE to succeed, otherwise your presence would provide some benefit.

Just throw money at it. That will fix all the problems...... Wish someone threw money at me.

Sickening. Makes us feel like throwing up.

GE continues to do what got them in trouble in the first place.

No hope for this company. Capitalism at its worst.

Big payout to Culp if stock increases 50% in the next four years? That means the stock has to hit the $19 - 20 per share mark or better. Could be done but Energy will have to improve. Big roadblock. The NYSE is due for a reset. Could effect GE in a negative way. Then there's the dividend issue. Cut it out, or not? The company cut its dividend in half last year, which triggered a huge sell-off in the stock. If he does eliminate it, frees up some much needed cash to perhaps pick up some assets for growth. Thus increasing the stock price if done right. It will be interesting to see if he can do it.

I guess compensation dependent on stock price can be a double edge sword, either he plans to stay a long time and try to make the stock price increase in a sustainable or just go for the numbers and do what Wall Street loves, get the scissors out and cut ahead finishing off, look for the fast rise before he bails out and let whats left to crash and burn.

At today’s price of $12.66, 2.5 million shares at a 50 percent premium would be worth $47.475 million! That’s the low end of the special award which seems highly likely to be achieved.

Sounds about right. The millionaires on the BOD all take care of each other. Until Culp orders an audit by, an outside firm, of the last Immelt years, I’ll continue to believe he’s just another corporate swine, getting his turn at the GE executive trough.
