The Palo Alto-based company previously disclosed that Whitman would be getting only $1 salary while she works on rebuilding the performance of HP that it had lost after Mark Hurd was ousted as CEO. Whitman’s predecessor did better than her as he got a severance package of more than $12 million in cash and let him keep most of the stock options that he had received. His 2011 compensation package was valued at $26.7 million apart from a $3.7 million stock incentive that was cancelled by HP. If Whitman is successful in her mission at HP, her stock options would more than offset her losses from her election campaign expenses for her failed attempt to become California’s governor in 2010.
