Warner Bros. Discovery Shareholders Vote Against CEO David Zaslav’s $52 Million Pay Package in a Symbolic Rebuke


Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted against the 2024 pay packages of CEO David Zaslav and other top execs in a symbolic rebuke.

Discovery shareholders who voted at the company’s 2025 annual meeting evidently believe CEO David Zaslav and other top execs are earning too much. At WBD’s annual stockholders meeting held June 2, investors voted down a non-binding “advisory” measure to approve the 2024 compensation packages of Zaslav and the company’s other named executive officers, according to an SEC filing. Such a measure is referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote, designed to give shareholders a voice in expressing their approval — or disapproval — of exec compensation.
