The board recognizes Pichai's "strong performance" as CEO, the company said, adding that the vesting of a significant portion of the award would depend on Alphabet's total shareholder return relative to other S&P 100 companies. Alphabet said the award was tweaked to increase the performance stock units to 60% from 43% in 2019, while increasing the performance requirement for the payout.
