(RTTNews) - Asset management firm Carlyle Group LP (CG) Friday said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission it will pay Mike Cavanagh $7 million in salary, bonuses and stock grants for three years as co-president of the firm.

Cavanagh will receive an annual base salary of $275 thousand, a guaranteed minimum bonus of $2.725 million and a signing bonus of $2 million per year. In addition, he will get a stock grant to the tune of $2 million, which will vest over five years.
