Shareholders Advise Cumulus Board Against Executive Compensation
On Thursday (5/2), Cumulus Media shareholders voted overwhelmingly not to approve compensation for executive officers. More than 6.7 million shareholders cast “no” votes while more than 3.6 million cast “yes” votes and more than 16,000 abstained. The proposal is only advisory and the executive compensation committee can do as it wishes, but with the number of shareholders voting against current executive compensation, it looks like Cumulus execs are going to be taking a pay cut.
