If she gets the stock back up to $50 any time in the next few years, I won't complain a bit if she cleans up. Under water options suck.

The board hired a new CEO, and then fired him a year later, after he has announced a major acquisition and plans to divest 30% of the company's sales (PCs)? The board should be removed, that's nuts.

Apotheker's deal: H-P Paying Fired CEO $7.2 Million in Severance Wall Street Journal September 29, 2011, 5:23 PM ET Hewlett-Packard disclosed it agreed to pay ousted CEO Leo Apotheker $7.2 million in severance over the next 18 months, according to a regulatory filing. In addition, H-P said Apotheker will get to hold onto $3.56 million worth of restricted H-P shares he was awarded when he signed on about a year ago. Apotheker will also get a $2.4 million bonus for his time at H-P, during which the company’s stock price shriveled. The bonus was due to him under H-P’s “Pay-for-Results Plan,” the company said. In addition, H-P will coverage Apotheker’s relocation expenses, including a return flight to France or Belgium. H-P also will reimburse its ousted CEO for any loss on the sale of his California house and related expenses, up to $300,000.
