Depending on the growth of Safeway’s earnings per share, the Argentinean CEO will gain up to £2m, on top of his basic salary in the region of £613,000 and a range of other incentive plans.


To merit the maximum pay award, Criado-Perez must grow average earnings by 8% more than inflation for the four years starting April 2001. Since last year saw earnings rise by 14%, he got off to a good start.


Spokesman Kevin Hawkins said: “The payments depend on achieving tough performance targets. It’s important that people realise he has a strong financial incentive for the next three years.”
