That’s a 56.6 percent decrease in compensation.
The Durham-based health information technologies and clinical research company named Ari Bousbib its CEO in October 2016 after the merger of Quintiles and IMS Health.
From 2010 until the merger, Bousbib was chairman and CEO of IMS Health.
A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Thursday shows the largest decrease coming from the CEO’s stock awards. He was awarded $26.4 million in stock awards in 2017 and only $3.9 million in 2018.
Bousbib’s base salary was $1.6 million in 2018, the same as it was in 2017.
He received $3.6 million in option awards in 2018 compared to $3 million in option awards in 2017.
Iqvia stock closed at $142.02 Thursday, up 83 cents from close Wednesday.
