U.S. Bancorp's board set the pay terms for newly appointed CEO Gunjan Kedia, who took over effective April 15, 2025, and for former CEO Andrew Cecere, who is now Executive Chairman. The filing also amends a retirement plan for Cecere, freezing his supplemental benefit, which matters to shareholders because it reflects the cost and structure of top executive compensation during the leadership transition.
Kedia's base salary rises to an annualized $1,200,000, effective April 16, 2025, with a target annual cash incentive of 275% of salary.
Kedia receives an additional PRSU award valued at $1,500,000 as of the April 17, 2025 grant date, on top of her February 27, 2025 long-term award.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the AI's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.
Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
