Lionsgate Says CEO Jon Feltheimer Earned $19.37 Million in Fiscal 2026

The company’s proxy attributes the rise to a larger FY26 cash bonus plus equity carried from a prior incentive; option awards will only vest if the stock reaches higher price targets.

Overview

  • The proxy filed with the SEC in late July reports Feltheimer’s FY26 pay totaled $19.37 million, up from $9.82 million the year before.
  • Lionsgate breaks the package down as a $1.5 million base salary, a $6.5 million cash bonus and $10.68 million in stock awards.
  • The filing says part of the increase reflects the equity portion of Feltheimer’s FY25 incentive, which had a grant-date fair value of about $4.4 million.
  • Three additional option tranches in his contract will only vest if Lionsgate shares reach $17.50, $20.00 and $22.50 respectively, while the stock recently traded around $13.25.
  • The proxy links the pay decision to FY26 progress—box-office hits, TV renewals and the company’s split from Starz—and lists compensation for Lionsgate’s other top executives ahead of upcoming earnings and the Sept. 15 shareholder meeting.
