Parekh’s remuneration consists of base pay, retiral benefits, and fixed salary. In addition, he also receives the value of stock incentives exercised during the period and any incentives or variable pay. This decrease appears to be due to Parekh exercising fewer restricted stock units (RSUs) during the year.
