Note: In the fiscal year ended April 27, Chairman and CEO Omar Ishrak realized $19.2 million in total compensation, a 17.3 percent increase from the previous fiscal year, according to Medtronic's annual proxy filed late Friday. Medtronic performed about the same against financial targets as it had the previous year, but Ishrak earned about $2 million more in salary and bonus because of a 3 percent salary increase and a related increase in his targeted annual incentive bonus.
The bulk of Ishrak's compensation was from the value of previously issued long-term equity awards that either vested or were exercised. In total he realized $9.3 million from those long-term equity awards, up from $8.4 million the previous year.
