CNN —

Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted on Tuesday to reject the pay packages for several of the company’s executives, including CEO David Zaslav’s compensation package of more than $50 million.

Nearly 60% of the symbolic vote was against the 2024 executive payouts at Warner Bros. Discovery’s annual meeting, according to a regulatory filing . The vote is non-binding.

Last year, shareholders narrowly approved executive pay, with 53% voting in favor.

Warner Bros. Discovery is the parent company of CNN.

Zaslav, who has been CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery since 2022, when the company was created by the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc., was paid a total of $51.9 million last year, including equity awards and other compensation.
