GameStop Chief Financial Officer Jim Bell will depart the video game retailer that has become synonymous with the 2021 Wall Street short squeeze with a payout worth nearly $30 million - after less than two years on the job.
GameStop announced Bell was resigning from the company effective March 26. Bell will get $15.8 million when he departs, and could earn millions more from equity in coming years if activist investor Ryan Cohen can pull off a turnaround of GameStop.
Bell's contract entitles him to $2.8 million in severance and an immediate payout of restricted shares worth $13 million when he departs, according to regulatory filings and calculations by Bloomberg.
That is how it is played.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.
