这位CEO被公司给了3000万美元，只为了把他留住

    耐克公司给首席执行官马克·帕克提供了价值3000万美元的股票奖励，以挽留他为运动装备厂商再效力至少5年时间。

    耐克公司薪酬委员会称赞说，“在帕克先生的领导下，公司取得了出色的业绩”，为了鼓励这位顶级高管不要离开这家位于俄勒冈州的公司，他们决定给予帕克目标价值达3000万美元的限制性股票奖励。

    这次的股票奖励数额比耐克之前任何一年给帕克的奖励都要高得多。在过去几年中，帕克每年可以获得大约350万美元的股票，过去3年加起来的数额也不到这次的一半。

    耐克表示，其中60%的奖励将与公司未来的业绩挂钩。

    自从2006年初帕克担任首席执行官以来，耐克股价增长了438%，远超道琼斯工业平均指数同期69%的增幅。由于耐克在美国股市的影响力越来越大，该公司甚至在2013年成为道指成分股。

    在帕克的领导下，耐克的销量和利润也有大幅提高。在2007财年，也就是帕克开始全面接管公司的第一年，耐克的年收入是163亿美元，利润是15亿美元。而在去年，这两项指标分别是306亿美元和33亿美元。

    作为全球最大的运动装备制造商，耐克从产品技术投资和海外扩张中得到了丰厚回报。该公司的卓越业绩也得益于休闲装束的日益流行，以及竞争对手阿迪达斯在美国市场的糟糕表现。

    帕克也许会在不久后进一步加强他对耐克的控制权。上月底，耐克的共同创始人菲尔·奈特表示他将于明年辞去董事长一职。他希望帕克成为他的接班人。（财富中文网）

    Nike Inc. has given Chief Executive Mark Parker a $30 million stock award to stay with the athletic gear maker for at least the next five years.

    Lauding the company’s “strong performance under Mr. Parker’s leadership,” and to provide an incentive for the top executive to stay at the Oregon-based company, Nike’s NKE -0.07% compensation committee decided to grant Parker a restricted stock award with a target value of $30 million.

    That award is far higher than the stock grants Nike typically gives Parker in any given year. Annual stock awards for the executive have hovered around $3.5 million in recent years, and total compensation in the past three years have been about half of the stock award Nike gave Parker.

    Nike said 60% of the award’s maximum value is based on the company’s performance.

    Since Parker became CEO in early 2006, Nike’s shares have surged 438%, far exceeding the 69% notched by the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the same period. Nike even joined the DJIA in 2013 in a nod to the company’s increased relevance among U.S. stocks.

    Sales and profits have also soared under Parker’s leadership. In fiscal 2007, the first year that Parker fully ran the company, Nike reported annual revenue of $16.3 billion on a profit of $1.5 billion. In the most recent year, those figures were $30.6 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively.

    Nike, the largest sportswear maker in the world, has benefited from investments in product technology, as well as expansion abroad, the increased popularity of athletic wear as casual attire, and the poor performance of top rival Adidas AG ADDYY 2.09% in the U.S. market.

    Parker may even soon consolidate control at the top of Nike. Late last month, Nike co-founder Phil Knight said on Tuesday that he is stepping down as chairman next year. He wants Parker to succeed him in that role.
