REUTERS: Walt Disney Co said on Tuesday it had eliminated performance-based bonuses last year for top executives, including Executive Chairman Bob Iger, as the media company looks to soften the impact of the COVID-19 fallout.

The pandemic dealt a major blow to the company's theme parks and movie studio business, while people sheltered at home during the lockdown pumped up sign-ups on its Disney+ streaming service.Iger received a total compensation of US$21 million for fiscal year 2020, significantly lower than the US$47.5 million he had received in the prior year, Disney disclosed in a regulatory filing.

The compensation package of Chief Executive Officer Bob Chapek, who took on the role last February, totaled to US$14.2 million. Last year, Disney said Iger would forgo his salary while Chapek took a 50per cent pay cut amid the coronavirus crisis.
