New Study on Executive Compensation
We posted Meridian Compensation Partners’ survey, 2015 Trends and Developments in Executive Compensation, which looks at executive compensation in 114 major companies. A few highlights:
For a majority of companies, 2015 LTI grants were largely in line with grant sizes in 2014. Among the 33% of companies that increased LTI values, the average increase was approximately 10%.
When determining LTI grants for senior-most executives, approximately 74% of respondents consider market data (e.g., proxy or survey data) as a primary factor. Internal equity and prior year grant value are also key factors.
82% of respondents use two or three LTI vehicles for senior executives.
In Meridian’s experience, it is most common to grant just one vehicle below the senior executive level, most often restricted stock or restricted stock units (RSUs).
