That's... odd. Can anyone guess why he did this? Maybe tax reasons? He got a million shares for becoming CEO, so it's not like he's just into saving Apple money or anything.
This seemed extremely bizarre to me until I read the filing itself[1].<p>The RSUs in question are unvested. Apparently a change was just made by the board that means unvested RSUs will collect dividends which will be paid out upon vesting. Cook is declining those.<p>I can kind of understand that it would look strange to make a change like this to already-granted RSUs, but if it were that big of a concern, it seems odd that only Cook would decline the dividends, or that the board would have made the change retroactive in the first place, so I still don't entirely understand declining them.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000118143112032458/rrd346000.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/00011814311203...</a>
