DHAKA: Nissan Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn highlighted the quick recovery of the automaker from a year of disasters as shareholders questioned low dividends and a lagging stock price.
He said his pay of $12 million, up 0.5 percent from the previous year, was reasonable compared to a global standard of $17.5 million for auto industry CEOs.
No shareholder raised questions on his pay, which easily won shareholder approval at the annual meeting Tuesday.
Nissan Motor Co., which makes the Altima sedan, Infiniti luxury model and Leaf electric car, is allied with Renault SA of France, and has more foreign executives than other Japanese automakers.
Ghosn’s pay draws attention as it is the highest among chief executives at major Japanese companies.
