CEO Pay For All Company Sizes
– David Chun, Equilar
In April, the New York Times partnered with Equilar for their annual CEO Pay study, based on the 200 largest companies to file proxies by the end of March. Now that most of the 2009 proxies are in, we’ve fleshed out our study to provide the latest data on CEOs broken into Small, Mid, and Large Caps, allowing companies to take a deeper look at pay trends.
Mid-cap CEOs saw both the only pay rise (1.7%) and the largest jump in bonus payouts, with the bonus rise echoed by the large-cap CEOs as well. In each of the three groups, healthcare CEOs netted the highest pay, and there’s evidence that early-2009 stock-option grants are rising in value more quickly than many recipients thought.
