Goldman's board of directors typically awards
executives 70 percent of their bonus in stock and 30 percent in
cash, suggesting that Blankfein also received a roughly $6.3
million cash bonus. Goldman does not disclose the full details
of executives' pay packages until it files its proxy statement.
The restricted stock bonus of 88,422 shares awarded to Blankfein
is worth $14.7 million, based on Goldman's closing price of
$166.25 on Tuesday, when Goldman said it granted the award.
Combined with a salary of about $2 million, Blankfein's total
pay package for last year was roughly $23 million, up about 10
percent from the $21 million he received for 2012.
The restricted stock units are delivered in three equal
installments over three years, and generally cannot be sold for
five years, Goldman said in a Form 4 filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.
