Apple Board of Directors Announces CEO Compensation
CUPERTINO, California--January 19, 2000--Apple-Registered Trademark- today
announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously voted to grant the
Company's CEO Steve Jobs stock options to purchase ten million shares of
Apple common stock and to give him a Gulfstream V airplane in recognition of
his service to the Company during the past two and a half years.
"Apple's market cap has risen from less than $2 billion to over $16
billion under Steve's leadership since his return to the Company two and a
half years ago," said Apple Board member Ed Woolard.
"Steve has taken no compensation thus far, and we are therefore delighted
to give him this airplane in appreciation of the great job he has done for
our shareholders during this period."
"Steve's stock options were granted a week ago at the then-market price,
and will gain value only as Apple's stock price rises, to the benefit of
all shareholders," said Apple Board member Jerry York. "This grant
reflects Steve's and the Board's confidence in the future value of Apple."
Steve's salary will remain at $1 per year.
