Activision Blizzard shareholders have voted to approve boss Bobby Kotick’s $155m pay packet after a controversial delay.
GamesIndustry.biz reports the say-on-pay vote, which had been delayed to this week in what was seen by some as an effort by Activision Blizzard to avoid an embarrassing slapdown, won approval from 54 percent of shareholders – down from the 56.8 percent approval seen last year, which itself was down from the 58 percent approval of 2019.
The decision comes following significant pressure from CtW, an investment company that “holds directors accountable for irresponsible and unethical corporate behaviour and excessive executive pay”.
