RE: "...given a signing bonus in cash and had him buy stock."

I don't think that sharing $4.1M with the tax man is financially sound.

The only real question is how good is this guy, not how he is compensated.

Brian, I agree with you 100%; however, I suspect many of these structures are for personal tax considerations. Just a way of life these days and a technique to avoid paying 40% plus in state and federal income taxes, then to be stuck with a huge loss carryover, deductible at $3k per year. Furthermore, AMAT does not have to go out of pocket with cash at this time, which is the only positive, imo.

PR could certainly be handled better.

Eddie
