Tim Cook will stay on as Apple's executive chair with a $2 million salary and a $45 million annual equity award for fiscal 2027, half of which is performance-based RSUs and half time-based vesting over four years, signaling continued influence as John Ternus becomes CEO and Apple's stock has surged under his leadership.
California could gain from SpaceX’s IPO and expected OpenAI/Anthropic debuts, but the tax windfall is likely smaller and less predictable than past IPOs. Key factors are RSU vesting tied to liquidity (which can trigger taxes earlier), private pre-IPO sales and tender offers that shift when revenue is realized, and tax strategies like donor-advised funds and stock-backed loans. State estimates depend on market timing and company behavior, and the rise of pre-IPO liquidity reduces the lump-sum tax hit historically seen with IPOs, making any gain a potential one-time boost rather than a steady stream.
Disney is reducing the cap on long-term incentive awards for some tech employees from 35% to 25% of base pay, a market-aligned move that doesn’t affect awards already granted.
