Wells Fargo & Company’s (NYSE: WFC) board of directors approved a grant of retention performance shares for President and CEO John G. Stumpf and three other executive officers. These retention performance shares, which are not a form of cash compensation or annual incentive bonus, are forfeited if the executive receiving the shares leaves the Company to work for a competitor. In addition, the retention performance shares provide an incentive for these executives to achieve continued extraordinary results for the Company. The shares will vest after three years of service only if the company meets specified performance goals, and are subsequently covered by Wells Fargo’s long-standing policy that a portion of all shares earned by executives as compensation must be held for as long as they remain employed by the company. For 2009, these executives will not receive annual cash incentive bonuses.
