Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THE TWO men who served as chief executives for Merrill Lynch, the US investment bank, during 1992 were each paid dollars 7.4m ( pounds 5.1m), according to a preliminary proxy statement issued by the company. They were William Schreyer, who was chairman and chief executive through to April 1992, and Daniel Tully, president and chief executive since May 1992.

The remuneration to each man was paid after the company achieved a record rise in earnings. It is made up of dollars 5.2m in salary and cash bonuses, and dollars 2.2m in a long-term equity incentive package, which includes restricted shares and units, and stock options. Merrill Lynch said the compensation was tied to performance.
