Principals Lauren Peek and Joanna Czyzewski recently published a report that was cited by Fortune. The report analyzes the CEO pay of 50 companies that filed their proxy statement earlier than the traditional March/April timeframe. CAP found that CEO compensation in 2021 was able to “bounce back” after it was affected in 2020 due to the pandemic. This surge was driven by bonus payouts that saw a +75% year over year increase. The report covers the 2021 financial performance, CEO actual pay levels, and annual incentive payouts among the 50 companies.
