Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has asked the company's board to slash his pay to the"lowest amount California law will allow" until the gaming company fixes its issues with gender discrimination and harassment, he said in a letter to employees on Thursday.
If the board approves, Kotick will be paid $62,500, he said — a sharp drop from the $155 million pay package approved by shareholders in June."I am asking not to receive any bonuses or be granted any equity during this time," he added. The announcement was part of a broader set of changes Kotick — who has been Activision CEO since 1991, including the 2008 merger with Blizzard — said the company is making.
