Total board pay is the sum of compensation disclosed in each company's director compensation table, which appears in the annual proxy statement. This table covers directors who are not also named executives — typically independent, non-employee directors. Executive directors (such as a CEO who also sits on the board) are reported separately in the executive compensation tables and are not included here. Figures include cash fees, stock awards, option awards, and other compensation.
Cash/equity split is derived from the breakdown reported in the director compensation table. Cash includes retainer fees and meeting fees paid in cash. Equity includes stock awards and option awards.
Cost per meeting is an estimate: total board pay divided by 7 assumed annual meetings. Actual meeting frequency varies by company and is not always disclosed. This figure is for rough comparison only.
Board-to-CEO ratio compares total board compensation to the CEO's reported total pay from the same fiscal year. A ratio of 0.50x means the entire board costs half of what the CEO earns.
