During the 2025 annual gathering, shareholders of Warner Bros. Discovery voiced their discontent by voting against the proposed executive pay packages. This advisory vote, which focused on CEO David Zaslav and his top team, reflects a growing concern that these leaders are receiving excessive compensation.
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders expressed disapproval of the compensation packages for CEO David Zaslav and other top executives at the company’s 2025 annual meeting held on June 2, 2024, by voting down a non-binding advisory measure. This action indicates that a majority of voting shareholders believe the executives are overpaid.
At Warner Bros. Discovery’s annual stockholders meeting, a significant number of shareholders voiced their concerns regarding executive compensation. The vote was on a non-binding “advisory” measure. This measure sought approval for the 2024 compensation packages of CEO David Zaslav and other top executives.
The vote against the compensation packages suggests a notable level of discontent among shareholders. The shareholders evidently believe that Zaslav and other top execs are earning too much. The meeting took place on June 2.
“Advisory” measures of this nature are non-binding. The vote serves as a signal to the company’s board of directors. The board can take the shareholder sentiment into account when determining future compensation decisions.
The fact that the vote was against the executive compensation packages highlights a potential disconnect between executive pay and shareholder expectations. This could lead to further scrutiny of compensation practices within Warner Bros. Discovery. The meeting was the company’s 2025 annual stockholders meeting.
