“Here are some of the most richly rewarded chiefs among the smaller banks. Ratings of pay practices, on a scale from A to F, are provided by GMI Ratings.”

“We don’t like any element of this pay package,” said Nell Minow, a corporate-governance consultant at GMI Ratings and frequent critic of executive pay. “In the past we have expressed concern about this company and its compensation practices.”

“As the market has climbed higher, I’ve continued my search for stocks that might be at greater risk during the next correction.
