AI summary of each reported item and its exhibits

Item 5.02 · Departure/Election of Directors or Officers

  • Pichai total equity package ~$322M: $126M PSUs (2 tranches, performance-based), $84M GSUs (time-based), ~$175M in Waymo/Wing BPUs
  • Base salary unchanged at $2M since 2020; no annual bonus eligibility
  • PSUs tied to Alphabet TSR vs S&P 100 peers over 2026-2027 and 2026-2028 periods; payout range 0%-200% of target
  • Novel BPU structure: Waymo (~$130M) and Wing (~$45M) awards settle in subsidiary Common Units, not GOOGL stock; vest only if per-unit value increases over 3 years
  • BPU grants signal Alphabet using CEO pay to drive value creation in key Other Bets; aligns Pichai directly with Waymo/Wing equity appreciation, not just parent stock performance
