Its estimated value, pegged last year, fluctuates and is dependent on the bank&#8217;s share price appreciation, according to bank spokesman Joe Evangelisti.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The special award was extremely rare \u2014 the first in more than a decade for Mr. Dimon \u2014 and it reflected exemplary leadership and additional incentive for a successful leadership transition,&#8221; Evangelisti said.<\/p>\n<p>While the results of the so-called &#8220;say on pay&#8221; vote are nonbinding, JPMorgan&#8217;s board said it takes investor feedback &#8220;seriously&#8221; and intended Dimon&#8217;s bonus to be a one-time event, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The disapproval was the first time JPMorgan&#8217;s board suffered a down vote on compensation since the pay-watch measures were introduced more than a decade ago. Dimon, 66, has led JPMorgan since 2006, helping guide it through several crises and building it into the biggest U.S. bank by assets.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, proxy advisory firms including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/quote\/776918Z:US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glass, Lewis &#038; Co<\/a>. recommended that shareholders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-05-06\/dimon-pay-should-be-rejected-by-jpmorgan-investors-adviser-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vote against<\/a> the pay package of Dimon and his top lieutenant, Daniel Pinto. Including the retention bonus, Dimon&#8217;s pay last year was valued at $84.4 million.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Excessive one-off grants to the CEO and COO amid tepid relative performance worsen long-standing concerns regarding the company&#8217;s executive-pay program,&#8221; Glass Lewis said in its report.<\/p>\n<p>Dimon and his other directors received support otherwise from investors, which is more typical of a shareholder vote at a large company.<\/p>\n<p>Glass Lewis had also advised that shareholders vote against the compensation of rival CEO David Solomon, who leads <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/GS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Goldman Sachs<\/a> and was awarded a $30 million retention bonus in October. In that case, however, about 82% of Goldman&#8217;s shareholders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldmansachs.com\/investor-relations\/corporate-governance\/corporate-governance-documents\/2022-annual-shareholder-meeting-highlights.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voted in favor<\/a> of management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"WatchLiveRightRail-inline WatchLiveRightRail-container\" id=\"RegularArticle-WatchLiveRightRail-7\" data-test=\"watchLiveRightRail-4\" data-analytics=\"RegularArticle-watchLiveRightRail-7-4\">\n<div class=\"WatchLiveRightRail-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/live-tv\/\" class=\"WatchLiveRightRail-wlButton\">WATCH LIVE<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"denied:data:image\/svg+xml;base64,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\" class=\"WatchLiveRightRail-logo\" alt=\"logo\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/live-tv\/\" class=\"WatchLiveRightRail-wlButtonMobile\">WATCH IN THE APP<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"PageBuilder-col-9 PageBuilder-col PageBuilder-article\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"PageBuilder-col-12 PageBuilder-col PageBuilder-article\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just 31% of investors participating in the New York-based bank&#8217;s annual shareholder meeting voted in support of a $52.6 million award that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1478990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1478990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1478990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1478990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1478990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1478990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1478990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
