Apple CEO Tim Cook’s salary has confused the company!

Apple CEO Tim Cook’s salary hit a record high, and investors are worried.

Apple CEO Tim Cook’s salary and supplement package have become a topic of discussion within the company. Shareholder advisory group ISS advised investors to vote against Cook’s compensation package at Apple’s annual general meeting on March 4.

Apple CEO Tim Cook’s salary reaches $99 million

Tim Cook received $99 million in salary and benefits last year, a big jump from a total of $14.7 million in 2020. The vast majority of the increase came from the Apple shares bonus, which was awarded for long-term company performance. It was also the first share award to Cook since he took over as CEO from Steve Jobs in 2011.

A group called ISS, which includes Apple investors, said the bonus plan for Cook raised significant concerns about “design and size.” This is not the first time the ISS has supported its payment to apple’s CEO since 2015. Apple declined to comment on the situation, which has caused confusion within the company.

In addition, the ISS said in a statement:

Half of the award does not have performance criteria, and the CEO does not specify his (personal) plans for the coming years, despite the large size of the award.

In response, the tech giant’s payments committee issued the following statement supporting Cook’s pay package:

Cook has earned significant incentives over the course of a decade and aligned his salary with the extraordinary value created for our shareholders under his leadership.

The payments committee also noted that Apple exceeded performance targets for both net sales and operating income in 2021. Last year, sales rose 33 percent to $365.8 billion and operating income rose 64 percent to $108.9 billion.

According to the maker of the iPhone, iPad and MacBook, cook’s inauguration has cumulatively delivered a return of 1,174 percent to shareholders and a 363 percent return for the S&P 500 index. Apple also became the first company to reach a market capitalization of $3 trillion last month.
