The company did give all five executives an increase in base salary. Rodriguez's base rose to $1,030,000 from $1 million. But a big decrease came in the change in pension value and nonqualified deferred compensation earnings. For Rodriguez, that category dropped to $806,428 for fiscal 2017, down 65 percent from $2.3 million the prior year. The CEO made up ground in the value of stock grants, which hit $4,350,006 for the last year, a 31.1 percent increase from $3,318,779 for 2016.

Pension/deferred compensation earnings fell for all the executives. CFO Jan Sigmund had 2017 compensation of $3.9 million, an 8.3-percent decline from $4.2 million, most of that stemming from a drop of 57.9 percent in the pension/deferred compensation category to $350,958 for the most recently ended year from $833,052 the prior year.
