Micron Technology CEO Mark Durcan has announced that he plans to take a 50% cut in base salary following the dip in revenue last quarter.
The company’s dynamic random access and NAND flash memory chips had reported a 15% drop in revenue during the fourth quarter ending 3rd September, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
Its revenue during the quarter was $3.6bn, which was 7% lower compared previous quarter.
The company said that the revenue was impacted by a 7% drop in DRAM average selling prices and relatively flat DRAM sales volume.

With the cut, Durcan’s annual base salary will be reduced to $525,000 from 18th October, according to a regulatory filing by the company, cited by Reuters.
Micron’s product portfolio includes memory technologies-including DRAM, NAND and NOR Flash-is the basis for solid state drives, modules, multichip packages and other system solutions.
According to earlier reports, the company was earlier offered $23bn by China based Tsinghua Unigroup to acquire the company.
