Lenovo chief shares bonus with workers for a second year...

Lenovo Group Ltd. (992), the world’s biggest maker of personal computers, said Chief Executive Officer Yang Yuanqing will share his bonus with employees for a second straight year after achieving record shipments and sales.

A pool of 10,000 workers will get payments this month to recognize their contributions, Gina Qiao, senior vice president of Human Resources, said in a memo to some workers. The memo was confirmed by spokesman Jeffrey Shafer, who said the total payment is about $3.25 million.

Lenovo posted revenue of $34 billion and PC shipments of 52.4 million units in the 12 months ended March 31 as the company gained market share and expanded sales of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
