WASHINGTON - Ford Motor Co. CEO Alan Mulally says he'll work for $1 per year if the automaker has to take any government loan money. He also said Tuesday his company will seek money from the government, but may not need it.
Detroit's automakers, making a second bid for $25 billion in funding, are presenting Congress with plans Tuesday to restructure their ailing companies and provide assurances that the funding will help them survive and thrive.
Following the forced resignations of Phil Condit and Harry Stonecipher, Mulally was considered one of the leading internal candidates for the CEO position.[6] When Mulally was passed over in both instances, questions were raised about whether he would remain with the company.[7]
For Mulally's performance at Boeing, Aviation Week & Space Technology named him as their person of the year for 2006.
Ford Motor Co., in the middle of a wrenching restructuring that already has led to plant shutdowns and thousands of job cuts, said Friday that it will pay its new chief executive a $2 million base salary as well as an $18.5 million bonus.
Alan Mulally also will receive 4 million stock options priced at the grant date's current fair-market value of $8.28 along with 600,000 restricted stock units, according to the regulatory filing.
Of the $18.5 million up-front payment, $7.5 million is considered a hiring bonus while $11 million was given to offset performance and stock-option awards Mulally forfeited at Boeing Co.,his former employer.
Mulally also has the option to live in temporary housing in Southeast Michigan for the first two years and is eligble for relocation assistance. He will be required, for security reasons, to use the company aircraft for travel. On personal business trips, he's allowed to bring friends and family at Ford's expense.
