Cayne to receive another $4.6m from Bear Stearns sale

James Cayne, chairman of Bear Stearns, is due to receive $4.6m (€2.9m) after selling more than $61m (€39m) of Bear shares last month just one day after JP Morgan Chase raised its offer for the stricken investment bank.

In return for their restricted stock units and the shares they held in the bank’s capital accumulation plan, Bear Stearns’ executives and board members will receive an equivalent number of JP Morgan shares.
