WPP CEO Sorrell's Bonus Plunges. It's Still Not Too Shabby
Posted in: Uncategorized
WPP’s Martin Sorrell, CEO of the world’s largest advertising company, faces a huge cut in his pay package
Sorrell will receive a long-term bonus of 10 million pounds ($14 million) compared with 41.6 million pounds a year earlier, the company said in a filing on Wednesday.
The pay cut is mostly due to the phasing out of the company’s notoriously generous long-term incentive plan, the Leadership Equity Acquisition Plan, which rewarded the 73-year-old chief handsomely. This year is the first year of a new, less lucrative long-term incentive program called the Executive Performance Share Plan. But it also follows investor criticism and a dismal year.
