Scotiabank president and CEO Brian Porter earned $12.2 million in total compensation last year, according to the bank’s proxy circular.
In addition to a base salary of $1.3 million, Porter received variable pay comprising $5.1 million in performance share units, $2.1 million in cash and $1.3 million in stock options.
Porter’s total direct compensation (fixed plus variable pay) of $9.9 million compared to $10.6 million in 2019. His target for total direct compensation in 2020 was $11.2 million, including $9.9 million in variable compensation.
While Porter’s performance was described as “strong,” a downward adjustment in variable compensation reflected “the broader context of the pandemic impact on all stakeholder groups and the bank’s regulatory environment,” the proxy circular said.
