Despite a sinking stock and plummeting sales, top executives at Warner Music Group are still enjoying nosebleed compensation packages. Just recently, publicly-available SEC documents detailed an annual package of $3.4 million for company chief executive Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
Bronfman opted against a bonus package in 2007, a decision prompted by major album sales declines. But others gladly accepted handsome bonuses, including chief executive of US Recorded Music Lyor Cohen, who pulled a $4.6 million total payday. Michael D. Fleischer, chief financial officer, banked $3.2 million, while executive vice president Alex Zubillaga pocketed $3.05 million. Warner/Chappell Music chief executive David H. Johnson landed $1.45 million.
For the fiscal year ending September 30th, Warner Music reported losses of $21 million. The label group is planning its review for the quarter ending December 31st on Wednesday.
