Cablevision Systems Corp. directors were sued by an investor for wrongfully approving “grossly excessive” compensation for Chairman Charles Dolan and members of his family who serve as executives of the fifth-largest U.S. cable company.
The board of Bethpage, New York-based Cablevision, which includes Dolan’s three daughters, approved more than $80 million in compensation for the firm’s founder and his son over a three-year period starting in 2010 while the company racked up losses, according to a Delaware Chancery Court lawsuit.
