CEO pay rise knocks Orcel off top spot at UBS

Swiss bank rewards Sergio Ermotti even as litigation costs take a further bite from earnings

CEO pay rise knocks Orcel off top spot at UBS

UBS chief executive Sergio Ermotti had his pay increased for 2014, even as the Swiss bank retroactively cut its profit for the year due to lingering legal issues.

Zurich-based UBS said on Friday that Ermotti received nearly Sfr11.2 million ($11.1 million) in total compensation for last year, up from Sfr10.7 million in 2013. UBS said in a public filing that Ermotti's pay was based on a strong performance for the bank, which was "tempered" by legal charges.
