2009 CEO Pay | Top stock and option awards

It's no coincidence that the top four equity-award recipients also were the four best-paid Northwest CEOs overall. Of 70 top executives who received stock and/or options in 2008 and were still on the job in 2009, 45 got smaller equity awards last year — 11 got no equity compensation at all. But the numbers can be misleading: Because many equity awards were given early in 2009, their grant-date values don't reflect the steep run-up in stock values later in the year. Here are the CEOs who received the largest stock and option awards in 2009.

Executive Company Equity pay
Howard Schultz Starbucks $12,391,522
James Bianco Cell Therapeutics 11,275,903
William Morrow * Clearwire 9,767,350
Steven Appleton Micron Technology 7,431,162
William Lansing * InfoSpace 5,883,793
* New CEO
