HP Inc's chief exec will be paid 50 per cent more if he is fired in a hostile takeover, according to the company's SEC filings last week.
Under the new formula, newly appointed chief exec Enrique Lores stands to make roughly $7.2m in severance pay if he is fired as the result of a change of control, according to Bloomberg calculations.
Under the previous severance arrangement, Lores would receive his salary and the average of his bonus over the past three years, including his less well paid role as president of the company's imaging and printing solutions unit. But the new arrangement offers him double his salary and his projected bonus for the year.
