Former Expedia CEO Mark Okerstrom’s payout could be near $12M
Former Expedia Group CEO, Mark Okerstrom, who was forced out by the company’s board of directors earlier this month over a strategizing disagreement is likely to leave with a generous payout, according to a report from the Skift on Thursday.
The news website’s research team estimated that Okerstrom’s exit package could be worth about $11.8 million at the time of his resignation, Dec. 4.
This amount includes $1.75 million in cash, $5.73 million in restricted stock units and nearly $4.3 million in stock options.

However, if the Seattle-based travel booking site’s stock remains around its dropped value of $105 per share, Okerstrom could make out with an intrinsic package of $7.6 million, according to the Skift.

This payout is significantly less than Expedia’s previous CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, who took home an estimated $160 to $200 million in unvested compensation at the time of his resignation in 2017.
