Begin maart kon je hier op MacFreak al lezen, in dit nieuwsbericht, dat Peter Oppenheimer met pensioen gaat. Daarbij was al meteen duidelijk wie zijn opvolger zou zijn: Luca Maestri, op dat moment nog Apple'’s vice president of Finance and corporate controller.

Inmiddels is het zover en is Luca Maestri officieel Peter Oppenheimer's opvolger: vanaf 29 mei is hij niet alleen Apple's nieuwe Chief Financial Officer, maar ook meteen Apple's Senior Vice President.



Voor iedereen die graag wil weten wat de zakelijke kant van deze benoeming inhoudt, hieronder de details:

In connection with Mr. Maestri's appointment as CFO, he will receive an annual salary of $1 million and will be eligible to participate in Apple's performance-based cash bonus program for executive officers on a pro rata basis for fiscal 2014. Also in connection with his appointment, the Compensation Committee of Apple's Board of Directors awarded Mr. Maestri 6,337 restricted stock units under Apple's 2014 Employee Stock Plan. 1,137 restricted stock units are scheduled to vest on October 1, 2015 and 1,107 restricted stock units are scheduled to vest on October 1, 2016. In each case, between 0% and 200% of the scheduled number of units may vest, with the percentage determined based on Apple's relative total shareholder return from May 29, 2014 through September 26, 2015 and from May 29, 2014 through September 24, 2016, respectively. The award also includes 4,093 restricted stock units scheduled to vest in equal installments on each of May 29, 2016, May 29, 2017, and May 29, 2018, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting dates.
