Lenovo chief executive Yang Yuanqing will share at least $US3 million ($A3.3 million) of his bonus with workers for a second straight year after posting record sales.

About 10,000 workers at the world's largest PC maker will get payments this month to recognise 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 will be about $US3.25 million ($A3.6 million).

Lenovo posted revenue of $US34 billion ($A37.8 billion) and PC shipments of 52.4 million units in the 12 months until March 31, as the company gained market share and expanded sales of smartphones and tablets. The 48-year-old Yang, who gave $US3 million from his bonus a year earlier, led the company past Hewlett-Packard in the June quarter.

"This is quite rare, especially for a chairman of a Chinese company, to use his personal money as a bonus to reward employees," said Kirk Yang, a managing director at Barclays in Hong Kong who rates the shares overweight.
