MILAN (Reuters) -UniCredit will reassess the remuneration of CEO Andrea Orcel ahead of its 2023 general meeting to see if the results achieved by Italy's second-biggest bank in 2021-2022 warrant an increase, a document on its website showed. UniCredit Chairman Pier Carlo Padoan said in an emailed comment late on Friday that the bank's remuneration committee would make a recommendation to the board on the CEO's pay "incorporating views of investors and wider stakeholders," adding the CEO himself had not asked for a raise. UniCredit's latest remuneration report noted that the CEO's current pay structure and a regulatory ceiling – that caps variable pay at twice the fixed amount – prevented the bank from rewarding over-performance when targets were exceeded.
