Here's how Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa can earn up to $23 million annually
Here's how Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa can earn up to $23 million annually Show Caption Hide Caption Stellantis: Major brands, global reach, challenges for automaker Explore the history of Stellantis, the automotive giant formed in 2021 through the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. Stellantis' new CEO Antonio Filosa will earn at least $4 million annually in his first two years at the helm, rising to up to $23 million a year from 2028, including bonuses, a document showed, although his remuneration will be lower than predecessor Carlos Tavares. Filosa officially becomes CEO of the owner of brands such as Chrysler, Peugeot and Jeep at the end of this month, tasked with turning around the carmaker's performance and recovering lost U.S. market share. He will receive an annual base pay of $1.8 million, a company document issued ahead of a July 18 extraordinary general meeting showed, just below the 2 million euros ($2.3 million) granted to his predecessor Tavares. On top of his starting salary, Filosa will pocket annual bonuses worth up to 400% of his base pay, based on the achievement of financial and business plan objectives set out by the company. Note to the next Stellantis CEO: Your first order of business, kill these 4 brands Filosa, formerly Stellantis' North American chief, will also be granted shares as long-term incentives (LTI), based on the company's performance, starting from up to 500% of his salary this year and up to a maximum of 780% from 2027. Until the potential LTIs are paid, in 2028, the company will provide the top manager a cash award of $1.2 million each year. Tavares, who abruptly resigned as CEO last December due to disagreements with the board over strategy, pocketed a final 35 million euro compensation package, despite a dramatic plunge in sales and profit and broken relationships with suppliers, dealers and investors. In 2023, when Stellantis reported record results, Tavares earned a total of 36.5 million euros. Filosa will also benefit from the company's U.S. health care and retirement plans and tax equalization benefits, as well as having access to other fringe benefits such as the personal use of the company's aircraft and vehicles, personal security and annual medical checkups. Filosa's term will be for five years, "to ensure leadership stability and maximize the ability of the company to respond effectively to profound and prolonged industry change," according to the document. Filosa will be appointed an executive board member at the July 18 EGM. Tavares was also appointed CEO for five years but left after just under four years.
