Fishman’s option awards were $7.13m in 2009, compared with about $3m a year earlier. His salary was unchanged at $1m. He was granted stock awards valued at $3.75m. The increase in value of his pension contributed about $526,000 and other compensation was more than $700,000.

Rule changes
Blooomberg said: “The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has revised the way companies are required to calculate compensation to weigh more heavily options and grants in the year that they are awarded.
“Because of the change, some disclosures this year for 2008 pay may not match what the firms reported previously.”
