More cash automatically means more taxes. It gets reported as salary. Payment in equities is essentially a tax dodge as the only time they're taxed is when they get sold (capital gains).

Pay more to cover the taxes. Or, as I suggested, pay in assets that aren't equity. Bonds, for instance. Or, like, buy the executive's side business once a year.
Regulating compensation is a silly way to get around raising taxes on the rich.
