CFOs' Salary Rises Outpace CEOs'

10.06.2011

CFOs received 20% of their long-term compensation via time-vested restricted stock in 2010, versus 16% in 2008. CEOs saw this incentive vehicle constituting 17% of their incentive mix, up from 16%.

Similarly, 48% of the CFO incentive compensation mix reflected other performance-based long-term incentives in 2010, up from 37%. For CEOs, that balance was 49%, up from 40%.

The incentive compensation package consisted of three different vehicles for 31% of the CFOs studied, a bit more than the 26% of CEOs receiving that number of incentives in 2010, the report shows.
