Allan Oberman

 

The highest salary cost at Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TEVA; TASE: TEVA) in 2014 was for Allan Oberman who stepped down as president and CEO Teva Americas Generics at the end of the year. His salary cost was $7.3 million in 2014, of which $4.5 million was tied to his departure from the company.

However, this is not the end of the road as far as Teva’s payments to Oberman are concerned. As revealed by the F-20 form, “Mr. Oberman is also entitled to receive an amount equal to his annual base salary in consideration for his release and waiver of claims as well as in consideration of, and conditioned upon, his non-compete obligations (which apply for a period of twelve months following his termination date).” That annual base salary is $850, 000.
