This is a ranking of compensation in fiscal 2012 for CEOs from the 100 largest public companies (by market capitalization) in Canada’s benchmark S&P/TSX composite index as of Dec. 31, 2012.
Where two names appear, it means the company has co-CEOs. If a company does not have a CEO, the president or similar top executive is used. When CEOs have changed during the year, the chart typically shows the CEO who was in place for the larger portion of the year. Two companies are not included because their compensation data had not been published by the survey’s cut-off date.
For companies that report pay in U.S. dollars, the amounts are converted to Canadian dollars at the average annual exchange rate for 2012. If the company has an irregular year end, the exchange rate is the rate used by the company for its currency conversion.
Salary is base salary.
Bonus is the annual cash incentive payment.
