SeaWorld Execs Get $6.8M in Stock Awards as Staff Are Furloughed
SeaWorld Entertainment, which furloughed 90 percent of its theme park employees, will give its top executives about $6.8 million in restricted stock awards for their “extraordinary contributions� amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The move is to “recognize employees for their extraordinary contributions and continued expected contributions to the Company and its long term goals during the global COVID-19 pandemic,� the company said.
CEO Marc Swason, who only started his role last week following the resignation of Sergio Rivera, will get $1.5 million in restricted stock awards, while Chief Operating Officer Walter Bogumil will be awarded $1.3 million, as long as they stay with the company for two years, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Chief Legal Officer Tony Taylor will get more than $1.1 million in restricted stock awards and three other executives will get more than $900,000 each.
