RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Reynolds American Inc., the nation's second-biggest tobacco company, awarded its incoming CEO Daniel M. Delen a compensation package valued at $8.5 million in fiscal 2011, up 38 percent from fiscal 2010, when he served as president and CEO of subsidiary R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., according to an Associated Press analysis of a regulatory filing.

The pay package came in a year when the maker of Camel and Pall Mall cigarettes, and Kodiak and Grizzly smokeless tobacco saw its net income grow more than 27 percent and its revenue excluding excise taxes was flat at $8.5 billion.
