Hendrickson's nearly $20.2 million in compensation for the year includes $16.5 million from the value of previously issued stock options and restricted stock awards that were either exercised or vested during the year.

Valspar generally awards executives a mix of long-term equity awards that include stock options and restricted stock awards. On Sept. 27, the two companies agreed to grant just restricted stock awards to Valspar executives for the 2017 fiscal year. Hendrickson's award was valued at $6.2 million and that total is not included in his 2016 compensation total. His take-home compensation averaged $10.8 million for the previous three years.
