“Based on this information, the ratio of Mr. Silverman’s annual total compensation to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was approximately 83:1.”

Silverman’s total $18 million compensation package included salary of $690,137, stock awards, options, non-equity incentive plan compensation, and “other,” which included $90,585 for security services.
