Former SNC-Lavalin CEO Neil Bruce also took in $4.2 million in share-based awards, a bonus of about $670,000 and "other compensation'' of $891,000.

SNC-Lavalin shares shot up 14 per cent the day after an Oct. 21 Liberal election win, which left open the possibility of a deferred prosecution agreement that would head off criminal prosecution.

Only a handful of SNC-Lavalin rivals or their subsidiaries have received deferred prosecution agreements, according to a Canadian Press analysis of figures on corporate settlements from a pair of databases.
