That's a notable increase of 23% on last year. We note that the salary portion, which stands at UK£160.0k constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.

| Other | UK£56k | UK£16k | 26% |
| Total Compensation | UK£216k | UK£176k | 100% |

Rosslyn Data Technologies is largely mirroring the industry average when it comes to the share a salary enjoys in overall compensation. If total compensation veers towards salary, it suggests that the variable portion - which is generally tied to performance, is lower.
A Look at Rosslyn Data Technologies plc's Growth Numbers
Over the past three years, Rosslyn Data Technologies plc has seen its earnings per share (EPS) grow by 49% per year. It achieved revenue growth of 2.1% over the last year.
This demonstrates that the company has been improving recently and is good news for the shareholders. It's also good to see modest revenue growth, suggesting the underlying business is healthy.

Has Rosslyn Data Technologies plc Been A Good Investment?
Rosslyn Data Technologies plc has served shareholders reasonably well, with a total return of 29% over three years. But they probably don't want to see the CEO paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.
In Summary...
As previously discussed, Roger is compensated close to the median for companies of its size, and which belong to the same industry. However, it's admirable that over the last three years, EPS growth for the company has been impressive, though the same can't be said for investor returns. So considering these factors, we think the compensation is probably quite reasonable, but investor returns need a boost moving forward.

You’ve overlooked the activist investor factor. Travis Cocke’s Voss has announced 5% ownership through a 13G filing. They’ve added to that 5% since, and in doing so, have created a structural trap door for 27.42 Million Shares actively sold short. Chuck will announce lots of positives on July 29 but it’s what Voss announces shortly after that will rock the overextended Teledoc shorts. The Walmart partnership is the tip of the iceberg. The market is missing the sheer regulatory and enterprise friction of modern corporate healthcare. Teladoc isn't a "consumer app"; it is the primary digital infrastructure integrated directly into the legacy backends of Tier-1 insurance companies and fortune 500 employers, covering 105 million+ lives. Teladoc is acting as the digital top-of-funnel engine for the world's largest retailer. If Voss pushes the narrative that Teladoc is effectively the outsourced digital brain of Walmart's entire healthcare footprint, the fair value shifts from a basic health multiple to an enterprise distribution premium. Additionally , we are in a structural gold rush for high-quality, legally compliant, longitudinal medical data to train vertical healthcare AI models. Large technology hyperscalers and pharmaceutical giants cannot simply scrape the internet for this; they need structured clinical inputs. Teladoc sits on one of the largest de-identified virtual medical datasets on earth. From the activist playbook , we’ll see Voss demand the immediate creation of a Data & Diagnostics Licensing Division, transforming a legacy liability into an incredibly high-margin, pure-software data asset that requires zero human clinician hours to scale. Chuck is doing great work and deserves credi5 for the Teledoc turnaround but it will be Travis Cocke who will be responsible for a share price way beyond your $15 valuation.
