Google to Offer Annual Bonuses of Up to $3 Million

Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Google Inc., the most-used Internet search engine, will give cash bonuses of up to $3 million to executives that are linked to annual sales and profit goals.

The bonuses will be available to all executives excluding Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt and Presidents Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google said today in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The cash bonuses come as Google's stock price stalls. Shares of the Mountain View, California-based company are little changed this year after more than doubling in 2005. The company said bonuses will be linked to the performance of each individual as well as the company's overall financial performance.
