Apple rejects $75m payout



Apple's boss Tim Cook has turned down a payout worth about $75m (£48m).

The technology giant will pay a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share from July, the first time Apple has declared a dividend since 1995.

But a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission revealed that Mr Cook will not take up his dividends.

A newspaper recently said that Mr Cook was the best-paid boss in the US with an income of more than $300m.

"At Mr Cook's request, none of his restricted stock units will participate in dividend equivalents," the filing said. It did not say why.

  1. Interesting post man, there's no way I'd reject that payout if I was him.
