Cook’s package included a mix of fixed pay, stock, and performance-based awards.



Here is the full breakdown:

“All other compensation”



Apple broke out what it included in Cook’s “all other compensation” category. It listed retirement-related contributions, insurance, vacation cash-out, security, and personal travel on company aircraft.



Apple said the total includes:




Apple’s 401(k) contributions of $21,000



Term life insurance premiums of $2,964



Vacation cash-out of $57,692



Security expenses of $887,870

Apple added: “For security and efficiency reasons, the Board requires Mr. Cook to use private aircraft for all business and personal travel.”



Cook has also spoken publicly about his long-term plans for his wealth. He said in 2015 that he plans to give it away during his lifetime, after helping fund his nephew’s college education. He said he plans to “develop a systematic approach to philanthropy rather than simply writing checks.”
