Rival media company PSKY’s acquisition of Warner Bros. may lead to a significant payout for outgoing CEO David Zaslav, who is set to collect over $800 million in severance and other payments. This includes cash, option payments, and restricted stock holdings, as well as a newly adopted tax reimbursement, according to a recent securities filing. The total does not include the approximately $20 million he is expected to receive for his shares, which he owns outright.
