March 24 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms ( META ) on Tuesday

granted restricted stock units and stock options for some of its

senior executives, including CFO Susan Li and Chief Technology

Officer Andrew Bosworth, tying them to performance and

aggressive share price targets as it looks to retain top talent.

Stock awards are typically issued to reward employees,

retain top talent, and align their interests with the company's

long-term success.

A Meta spokesperson said the pay packages represent a "big

bet" and that they "will not be realized unless Meta achieves

massive future success, benefiting all of our shareholders".
