On Friday, Shares of Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC), lost -3.71% to $16.10.
Bank of America Corporation directors enjoyed a pay raise earlier this summer, and no one seemed to notice.
The Wall Street Journal reports that most of the board members received stock worth about $36,000 in June, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
A bank spokesman told the Journal that directors haven’t seen a pay enhance since 2006, even though their “responsibilities have raised greatly.”
The pay raises come after the board has received criticism for overruling a 2009 shareholder vote to separate the CEO and chairman roles. Now BofA is holding a special shareholder’s meeting Sept. 22 to give investors the chance to ratify the board’s decision to give Moynihan both the CEO and chairman roles.
