Six top Meta executives are set to receive large pay increases that are contingent on achieving 'exceedingly aggressive' stock-price targets over a five-year period; CEO Mark Zuckerberg is excluded. The awards are long-term, stock-based compensation tied to multi-year share-performance hurdles, which may prompt governance and shareholder scrutiny but is unlikely to move Meta's stock materially in the near term.
