New Raytheon CEO To Get $925,000 A Year Base Salary

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES 24apr03

WASHINGTON -- Raytheon Co. (RTN) will pay new Chief Executive William Swanson a base salary of $925,000 a year, or $35,577 biweekly, according to a document filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Swanson, who is replacing departing Chairman and Chief Executive Daniel Burnham July 1, will also participate in the results-based incentive plan, with an annual target incentive of 150% of his annual base salary.

In addition, the defense contractor will award Swanson 175,000 Raytheon stock options, the filing said. The options will vest at one-third each year over three years.

Also, Swanson will receive 130,000 restricted shares, according to the filing. The company said that restrictions on this stock will lapse over a six-year period, with one-third lapsing at the second anniversary of the award, one-third at the fourth anniversary and one-third on the sixth anniversary.

As reported, Burnham's compensation package will include about $400,000 a year, or $15,386 biweekly, along with a yet-to-be decided incentive payout for his new role as nonexecutive chairman.

When he retires as nonexecutive chairman, Burnham, 56, will also receive an annual payment equal to half of the compensation - salary plus bonus - of the five years he worked at Raytheon once he turns 60.
