LOS ANGELES — Meg Whitman is taking a $1 annual salary for her position as the new chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co. But don’t think she’s working for peanuts.
As part of her compensation package, Whitman was also awarded options to buy nearly 2 million shares of HP stock at $23.59, more than $1 above Friday’s closing price of $22.45, which eventually could bring her a windfall of tens of millions of dollars if HP’s stock price rises.
