Exequity's Quick-Take Study: Long-Term Incentive Trends: 2010 vs. 2009 CEO Long-Term Incentive Opportunity
After a general industry decline in long-term incentive (LTI) opportunity from 2008 to 2009, Exequity analyzed insider filings (Form 4) for the CEOs from Fortune 500 companies to gauge the percent change in LTI opportunity from 2009 to 2010. Overall, our study found that median LTI opportunity increased 8% relative to a 36% stock price increase over the prior year.
This Quick-Take Study presents the key findings from the analysis, including percent change in LTI opportunity relative to three stock price categories (greater than 60% increase, less than 60% increase and greater than 20% increase, and less than 20% increase), percent change in LTI opportunity by industry, and an in-the-money option analysis for 2009 stock option awards.

Ed,
Great info. I especially liked the In-the-Money Values data (Page 6). Interesting to know that a year or less after grant total in-the-money value was 30% greater than Black Scholes at grant. Not a bad year.
I am not surprised about the summary on performance equity. Your results show this to be flat. Recent reports from Equilar and PwC have shown that performance equity is rising and falling. We are obviously a long way from having great data here.
Thanks for sharing this with the ECE
