Chip maker Broadcom gave Hock Tan, its chief executive, a $161 million stock award, instantly landing him among the highest-paid CEOs.
His payday could end up being even bigger, thanks to a surge in the company’s share price. Lately, the market has valued the underlying shares at roughly $1.3 billion.
The gains are revealed in new disclosures imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission starting last year, including a measure of how much executives’ equity awards changed in value during the year. Previously, companies generally disclosed the value of such awards at the time of the grant.
