JPMorgan CEO Dimon gets $16 mil stock bonus for 2009

NEW YORK -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon is getting a stock bonus valued at nearly $16 million for 2009 after steering the big bank through the aftermath of the financial crisis.

Dimon's bonus, disclosed Friday in a securities filing, carries several restrictions and can be recouped by the bank at any time and for any reason. The stringent measures are aimed at countering criticism over lavish pay at banks that helped cause the financial crisis and then received billions in taxpayer bailouts.

Like other big bank CEOs, Dimon received no cash bonus for 2009. Instead, he got $7.8 million in restricted stock and 563,562 stock options, JPMorgan said. The options are valued at about $8.1 million, bringing his total 2009 bonus to $15.9 million.

Dimon received no bonus for 2008.
