John Chen, BlackBerry’s new C-E-O, has reached a deal that will pay him almost 85-million dollars in stock over five years at its current market value.

That’s in addition to Chen’s reported yearly salary of a-million dollars, and a performance bonus of two-million.

Chen succeeded Thorsten Heins last Monday as C-E-O of the struggling smartphone maker.
