Calculations are a lot cruder than the impressive ones provided by @MM0 but none the less .. .. ..
Given the investments made by the Board versus their salaries maybe they aren't as "paltry" as you may have thought?
All salaries calculated to 30 June 2024.
Brendan Borg without going back over his investment / sales again, was paid $283,000 (inc committee fees) gross; Holding 8,000,000 FPO shares Recalculated from previous post as there was a flaw in the calculation formula: Invested a total of $1,791,393 inclusive of adding in the cost base for the in-specie shares, plus the $813,165 pro rata shares. ~ this equates to 6.32 times his gross salary, or; ~ 9.03 times his net salary of $198,334 (using a 30% tax rate)
Simon Hay was paid $1,698,618 (inc $25,052 cash award?, (haven't found what this was for yet)) gross.
