It's Raining Options San Francisco Chronicle - Monday, June 1, 1998 Bay Area executives reap rich rewards as firms bestow more stock than cash Bay Area corporate executives enjoyed another tremendous pay bonanza last year. Their cash compensation surged, and their stock options soared out of sight. In the rampaging bull market of the past three years, options have become by far the most dominant form of executive compensation. Last year they accounted for more than two-thirds of executive pay, compared with less than a third in 1994. The stock-market boom has made options much more lucrative, and corporate compensation committees have compounded the trend by making them much more plentiful. Of the 293 top-ranking executives from 54 companies in The Chronicle's 14th annual executive-compensation survey, 83 percent received new stock-option grants last year. That is a steep increase from the previous year's survey, when only 44 percent of 266 executives got new grants. sfgate.com o~~~ O
