Les actionnaires soutiennent Jeff Jacobson

Xerox CEO Jeff Jacobson, center, with other employees on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Jan. 3, 2017, marking the completion of the company’s separation of Conduent as an independent business.

Xerox nearly doubled the compensation paid to CEO Jeff Jacobson last year, in what could be the company’s final year as an independent entity as it works to complete a sale to Japan-based Fujifilm Holdings over the objections of some investors.

Jacobson received $9.5 million in total compensation last year after being promoted to CEO, a 94 percent boost from his pay in 2016 as a senior Xerox executive, but still below the historic annual pay for his CEO predecessor Ursula Burns, whose compensation peaked in 2014 at $22.2 million as estimated by Xerox. Xerox calculated Jacobson’s compensation at 111 times that of the median Xerox employee who made about $85,000. Quest Diagnostics CEO Stephen Rusckowski chairs the compensation committee of the Xerox board.

In a preliminary proxy posted Tuesday, Xerox urged them to reject four nominees to its board of directors by Carl Icahn, who has spent the past several months campaigning for the company to extricate itself from the proposed sale to Fujifilm, arguing the deal undervalues Xerox.

Xerox has yet to set a date and location for its annual meeting, which it held in Norwalk last year the fourth Tuesday in May, in the Merritt 7 Office Park where it is now based after moving its headquarters from the nearby Towers complex.

Due to a reporting error, an earlier version misstated Jacobson’s first year as CEO, which was 2017.

Jeff Jacobson, chef de la direction de Xerox, au centre, avec d’autres employĂ©s Ă  la Bourse de New York le 3 janvier 2017, marquant la fin de la sĂ©paration de Conduent en tant qu’entreprise indĂ©pendante.

Xerox a presque doublĂ© la rĂ©munĂ©ration versĂ©e au PDG Jeff Jacobson l’annĂ©e derniĂšre, au cours de sa derniĂšre annĂ©e en tant qu’entitĂ© indĂ©pendante, alors qu’elle travaille Ă  conclure une vente Ă  Fujifilm Holdings au Japon, malgrĂ© les objections de certains investisseurs.

Jacobson a reçu une rĂ©munĂ©ration totale de 9,5 millions de dollars l’an dernier aprĂšs avoir Ă©tĂ© promu au poste de PDG, une augmentation de 94% de sa rĂ©munĂ©ration en 2016 en tant qu’administrateur principal de Xerox, mais toujours en deçà du salaire annuel de son prĂ©dĂ©cesseur Ursula Burns. 22,2 millions de dollars selon l’estimation de Xerox. Xerox a calculĂ© la rĂ©munĂ©ration de Jacobson Ă  111 fois celle de l’employĂ© mĂ©dian de Xerox qui a fait environ 85 000 $.

Le PDG de Quest Diagnostics, Stephen Rusckowski, prĂ©side le comitĂ© de rĂ©munĂ©ration du conseil d’administration de Xerox.

Dans un proxy prĂ©liminaire publiĂ© mardi, Xerox les a exhortĂ©s Ă  rejeter quatre candidats Ă  son conseil d’administration demandĂ©s par Carl Icahn, qui a passĂ© les derniers mois Ă  faire campagne pour que l’entreprise se sĂ©pare de la vente proposĂ©e Ă  Fujifilm, soutenant que l’accord sous-Ă©value Xerox.

Xerox n’a pas encore fixĂ© de date et de lieu pour sa rĂ©union annuelle, qui s’est tenue Ă  Norwalk l’annĂ©e derniĂšre le quatriĂšme mardi de mai, au Merritt 7 Office Park oĂč elle est maintenant basĂ©e aprĂšs avoir dĂ©mĂ©nagĂ© son siĂšge du complexe voisin de Towers.

En raison d’une erreur de signalement, une version antĂ©rieure a fait une fausse dĂ©claration de la premiĂšre annĂ©e de Jacobson en tant que chef de la direction, soit en 2017.
