Meridian has concluded that board pay structure also continues to evolve across all public organizations with the largest public companies continuing to shift toward a greater emphasis on fixed cash retainers and restricted stock/RSU grants and away from per-meeting-based compensation and stock options. "In addition to moderate pay level increases, many large public companies made structural changes in an effort to simplify the way they compensate their directors" Meridian's findings were based on proxy statements filed in 2011. For the study, total outside director compensation included annual retainer (cash and/or equity), average board meeting fees per director, average committee fees per director (includes additional retainers and meeting fees), and non-retainer equity. Meridian found the median total compensation for companies in the Fortune 100 and Fortune 250 to be $248,183 and $231,042 respectively. While median total retainer compensation rose 10% over the past year among the Fortune 250, committee fees decreased by 11%. Non-retainer equity increased 8% from last year's levels.
