In addition to his $900,000 salary, Cook $376 million in restricted stock and other compensation.
Apple's Board of directors said the size of the award was based on "Cook's performance in assuming responsibility for the company's day-to-day operations during Mr. Jobs's prior leaves of absence. The Board also took into account the 10-year vesting period of the award, the importance of retaining Mr. Cook, and the opportunities Mr. Cook would likely have if he were to seek other employment.""
