Equilar is a California-based company that provides information about total executive compensation packages of the top officers at publicly traded companies.
Founded in 2000 by CEO David Chun, Equilar maintains an information database of the total compensation—base salary, short-term incentives (bonuses), long-term incentive plans (LTIP), employee benefits, perquisites (perks), and compensation protection (Golden parachutes) — of over 20,000 executives of public companies that disclose with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
As public interest in executive compensation has grown,[1][not in citation given] Equilar's research is frequently cited in Bloomberg, BusinessWeek, Reuters, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and other media publications.[citation needed]
Headquartered in Redwood Shores, CA, Equilar has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America by Deloitte[2], Inc. magazine[3] and the Silicon Valley Business Journal.
