The Charlotte, N.C.-based bank gave Mr. Lewis 263,770 shares of the company this year priced at $40.85 a share, according to an SEC filing. His full compensation package for the year has yet to be released. Mr. Lewis was involved in its purchase of private bank U.S. Trust from San Francisco-based Charles Schwab Corp., while cutting costs within Bank of America’s operations.
