WBD shareholders reject David Zaslav's 2025 pay package in non-binding vote with 84% opposition

Summary
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted overwhelmingly against CEO David Zaslav's 2025 compensation package in a non-binding vote at the company's annual meeting. According to an SEC filing, 84.3% of votes cast opposed the package, with only 15.7% in support. This extremely low approval rating mirrors the similarly poor support for Zaslav's golden parachute package tied to the potential WBD-Paramount merger, which was voted on at a special meeting in April.

· 3 pulledStockholders expressed deep dissatisfaction with the 2025 compensation package of Warner Bros. Discovery's chief executive David Zaslav in a non-binding vote at the company's annual meeting this week.
84.3% of votes cast in the yearly say-on-pay tally were against the package, meaning just 15.7% supported it.
That's extremely low for corporate America but in line with the small support for Zaslav's golden parachute if and when WBD's merger with Paramount closes.
