Brian Niccol, Starbucks’s chief executive and chairman, started work at the world’s largest coffee chain last September.
He has already been awarded about $96 million, the company said Friday.
Niccol’s compensation, detailed in a securities filing, includes buyouts of Chipotle Mexican Grill shares awarded during his six-year tenure leading that chain. While Niccol earned $61,538 in salary from Starbucks over the period ended Sept. 29, the company paid him a $5 million bonus and $90 million in stock awards that largely reflect the value of Chipotle shares he forfeited after leaving the burrito chain.
