A $14.2 million golden parachute awaits Activision Blizzard chief legal officer Grant Dixton when he steps aside at the end of March, in the wake of the video game maker’s $69 billion sale to Microsoft.
Dixton’s compensation last year totaled $5.5 million, according to Activision Blizzard’s latest proxy statement, which also lays out details of his severance package in the event of his departure “following a change of control of the company involving Microsoft.” His employment contract already was set to expire on June 30.
