Interesting that he held that shares and didn't sell them right away. Sounds very positive for the rest of us who don't make $3M a year! Stuart. ============== Globe says Bombardier chief exercises options Bombardier Cl B SV BBD.B Shares issued 507,400,794 Jan 12 close $31.30 Thu 13 Jan 2000 In the News The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Jan. 13, edition that Bombardier chairman Laurent Beaudoin enjoyed one of corporate Canada's biggest paydays last month when he exercised stock options worth $94-million. The Globe's Oliver Bertin writes that Mr. Beaudoin decided to keep the shares rather than cash them in. The options were due to expire on Dec. 21. The chairman still holds options to buy 5.4 million more Class B shares, worth a total of $265-million if he cashed them in today. Mr. Beaudoin is paid a regular salary for his duties at Bombardier -- a base rate of $1.25-million in 1998, a bonus of $1.75-million and other compensation of $125,796 for a total of $3.1-million. Mr. Beaudoin's stock options are worth so much, they have split three times since they were granted in 1989. (c) Copyright 2000 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
