These options are tied to the company's valuation targets, requiring a sixfold increase to exceed $9 trillion. This move aims to retain talent and drive aggressive growth for the company in the era of artificial intelligence. This is the first time the social media giant has introduced such options for senior management, accompanied by stringent stock price milestone requirements. This reflects that large tech companies are rethinking their incentive mechanisms as they invest hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers and break a long-standing reluctance to incur debt in the race for dominance in the AI field. Meta's stock price needs to rise at least 88.2% from Tuesday's closing price of $592.92 to $1,116.08 to unlock this batch of stock options at the minimum exercise price. Regulatory filings submitted Tuesday evening indicate that to unlock the most incentivized batch of options, the company's stock price must soar over sixfold, reaching a maximum of $3,727.12. If this stock price level is achieved, Meta's market capitalization would exceed $9 trillion, far surpassing the current highest market cap company, Nvidia, which is valued at $4.257 trillion. Meta must reach the target stock price by February 14, 2028, for the options to vest. If the target is not met, the unvested options for executives will begin to vest in installments starting August 15, 2030. If not exercised, the options will expire in March 2031. Tesla has also granted similar options to CEO Elon Musk, which could yield approximately $1 trillion if certain operational targets are met. This plan from Meta does not include CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Regulatory filings show that CFO Susan Li, Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth, Chief Product Officer Chris Cox, Chief Operating Officer Javier Olivan, President Dina Powell McCormick, and Chief Legal Officer Curtis M. Wong are all eligible for these options. Except for McCormick and Wong, who joined Meta in January this year, all other executives will also receive additional restricted stock awards, valued at a total of $170 million based on the latest closing price, vesting quarterly. Chief Accounting Officer Alan Anderson will only receive restricted stock. Over the years, Meta has offered high compensation packages to attract top AI researchers to join its new super-intelligent team, with some packages valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. A spokesperson for Meta stated that this compensation plan represents a "significant bet," adding, "These compensations will not be realized unless Meta achieves great success in the future, benefiting all shareholders." ### 相關股票 - [First Trust DJ Internet Fd (FDN.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/FDN.US.md) - [SPDR S&P Software (XSW.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/XSW.US.md) - [Meta Platforms (META.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/META.US.md) - [ISHRS S&P Glb Telco (IXP.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/IXP.US.md) - [GraniteShares 2x Long META Daily ETF (FBL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/FBL.US.md) - [Direxion Daily Meta Bull 2x Shares (METU.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/METU.US.md) - [Fidelity MSCI Telco Svc Index (FCOM.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/FCOM.US.md) - [Roundhill META WeeklyPay ETF (METW.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/METW.US.md) - [Direxion Daily META Bear 1X Shares (METD.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/METD.US.md) - [Comm Servcies Select Sector SPDR (XLC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/XLC.US.md) - [iShares Expanded Tech Software Sector ETF (IGV.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/IGV.US.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [Meta spokesperson on exec stock options: share price increase must be on an exceedingly aggressive 5-year timeline](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280396775.md) - [Meta makes 'big bet' on top leaders with stock options as pressure builds to catch up in AI](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280402703.md) - [Meta Opens Manhattan Store As Capital Shifts From Metaverse To AI](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/279834632.md) - [Wedmont Private Capital Reduces Holdings in Meta Platforms, Inc. $META](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280465995.md) - [Meta is having trouble with rogue AI agents](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/279688226.md)
