Apple said that it exceeded maximum performance goals for net sales and operating income, resulting in the maximum potential payout for its employees.

Cook’s compensation rose 11.5% in 2015, a year when its sales grew 28% and profits by 35%, the company said on Wednesday. Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri’s annual compensation rose about 81% to $25.3 million in 2015.

In fact, Cook was the lowest-paid of the company’s top executives. Angela Ahrendts, the senior vice president for retail and online stores, was the highest paid, with a total pay package of $25.8 million.

The big difference between Tim Cook and the other execs is that Cook does not receive any stock awards.
