Greg Brown's 2008 compensation package included a $1.2 million salary and $378,571 in other compensation. He also was awarded restricted stock and options valued at $22.6 million on the dates they were awarded to him. His total compensation is more than double what he earned in 2007. Meanwhile, Motorola's revenue tumbled in its 2008 fiscal year, and its losses widened enormously. For the year ended Dec. 31, revenue came in at $30.1 billion, down 18% from $36.6 billion in 2007. The company recorded a net loss of nearly $4.2 billion, compared with a net loss of $49 million in 2007.
