Burns’ total compensation was down from $8.97M in 2018 and $26.94M in 2017 on a $1 million base salary.
Neither received stock options the past two fiscal years after the company amended outstanding stock options and SARs effective March 23, 2018, to provide an extended period to exercise the vested awards following the holder’s retirement, according to the Schedule 14A filing.
The filing said the next Lionsgate annual general and special meeting of shareholders is September 10 in Vancouver. The agenda includes an advisory vote to approve executive compensation and the election of 13 directors.
