David Zaslav could receive up to $887 million following the planned sale of Warner Bros Discovery to Paramount Skydance, according to a regulatory filing.
The compensation package includes about $34 million in cash severance, nearly $116 million in vested equity, and more than $500 million in unvested stock awards that would be triggered once the deal is completed, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.
An additional portion, estimated at around $335 million, relates to tax reimbursements, though this amount could decline over time or drop to zero if the deal is delayed into 2027.
