Sony Corp. Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai received 153 million yen ($1.6 million) in annual compensation as the Japanese electronics maker returned to its first profit in five years.
That’s 74 percent higher than the 88 million yen he received for the previous fiscal year, when he served as an executive deputy president, according to a company filing today with Japan’s Finance Ministry. Former Vice Chairman Ryoji Chubachi, who retired last week, received 194 million yen including retirement funds, the filing shows.
