Dec 28 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc increased Chief Executive Reed Hastings's 2013 salary four-fold to $2 million, and raised his stock option allowance slightly, the video rental company disclosed in a regulatory filing.
The company raised Hastings's total stock option allocation to $2 million for next year, up from the $1.5 million it set for 2012. ()
Netflix, which has struggled over the last year following an ill-fated attempt to split the DVD and streaming operations and a swooning stock price, recently attracted the attention of billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn who called for a sale of the company. Icahn holds about 10 percent stake in Netflix.
The company also raised Chief Financial Officer David Wells annual salary to $770,000 from $490,000, but lowered his stock option allocation to $330,000 from $510,000 it set for 2012.
