Microchip Technology (MCHP) disclosed $8.0M in CEO compensation for Ganesh Moorthy. The package is structured for retention plus performance alignment, with equity awards taking the largest share.
The CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio runs 57x. Lower ratios typically reflect companies with higher-paid workforces (financial services, technology, professional services) where the median worker pay denominator is itself substantial. Performance has been positive over the three-year window: TSR of 36.4% alongside 25.3% revenue growth. Compensation packages tied to relative TSR or absolute return benchmarks would have vested at or near target levels with this performance profile.
Shareholders ratified the compensation package overwhelmingly: 96% of votes cast supported the company's pay practices at the most recent annual meeting. Say-on-pay support above 95% is typical for well-aligned compensation programs without obvious controversy. Microchip Technology operates in Semiconductors with 22,800 employees and $7.6B in annual revenue, and currently carries a market capitalization of $40.0B. Pay comparisons across companies require controlling for these structural factors — a $20M package at a $10B-revenue tech company reads differently than the same package at a $1B-revenue industrial.
