© Reuters.  Microsoft will tie CEO's pay to LinkedIn performance
  • Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) will tie LinkedIn’s performance to Satya Nadella’s paycheck, which owes one-third of its annual total to performance stock awards.
  • LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) is one of six areas tracked alongside metrics like Windows 10 monthly active devices. But LinkedIn will get the headlines because Microsoft paid $27B for the company two years ago and it’s a new PSA consideration.
  • According to its regulatory filing, Microsoft will count the “number of times longed-in members visit LinkedIn, separated by 30 minutes of inactivity" on both desktop and mobile devices over a three-year period and give out awards accordingly.
  • Other execs with checks tied to this plan: CFO Amy Hood, EVPs Jean-Philippe Courtois and Peggy Johnson, and CLO Brad Smith.
  • The LinkedIn-based payouts won’t happen until 2020.
