The AP: Stanley, Travelers, UTC chiefs’ pay leads

Money isn’t everything, but earning plenty of it landed CEOs of Stanley Black & Decker, United Technologies, and Travelers, firms with headquarters or operations in Connecticut, on The Associated Press’ list of the 50 highest-paid CEOs for 2010.

New Britain-based Stanley’s John Lundgren (No. 6), New York-based Travelers’ Jay S. Fishman (No. 28), and Hartford-based UTC’s Louis Chenevert (No. 30) were ranked based on their eight-figure compensation packages.

Conversely, no Connecticut corporate chiefs made it onto AP’s list of the 10 lowest-paid CEOs for 2010.

The analysis of Standard & Poor’s 500 companies includes companies that had the same CEO for all of 2009 and 2010 and that filed proxy statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission between Jan. 1 and April 30.

They are based on the AP’s compensation formula, which adds up salary, perks, bonuses, preferential interest rates on pay set aside for later, and company estimates for the value of stock options and stock awards on the day they were granted last year.
