Apple’s Tim Cook set to get $279m annual payout

The company's chief executive will receive 560,000 shares of the iPhone maker

With Apple’s stock soaring, Tim Cook is cruising toward another big payout.

Barring a precipitous drop in Apple’s stock, Mr Cook will receive 560,000 shares on Monday, worth a combined $278.6 million (Dh1.02 billion) as of Friday’s close – his annual haul from an award he got nine years ago after succeeding Steve Jobs.

It’s the latest in a string of victories for Mr Cook, who was named chief executive of the iPhone maker nine years ago. In late July, the company reported a record third quarter. The firm’s stock soared, pushing his net worth above $1bn less than two weeks later. And, last week, Apple’s market value eclipsed $2 trillion.

Mr Cook, 59, said in 2015 that he plans to give most of his fortune away and has already donated millions of dollars worth of Apple shares.

His annual payouts are partly tied to continued service, while the remainder pays out in relation to how well Apple’s stock does relative to other companies in the S&P 500 index over three years.

As of Friday, the company’s return over that period, including reinvested dividends, was roughly 225 per cent, better than the vast majority of firms in the index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That puts him well above the threshold for the payout.

Josh Rosenstock, an Apple spokesman, declined to comment.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood

Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
