Schulman’s $22 million compensation package for 2022 includes $20.2 million in stock awards, according to a filing. The CEO made $32 million in 2021.

But the firm missed revenue, adjusted operating margin and net new active users targets for the year.

In February, the longstanding CEO who began his tenure in 2014, announced that he will retire at the end of the year.
