Canopy’s CEO David Klein walked in to the role after Linton/Zekulin wrapped up with the company. He officially became CEO on January 14, 2020.

I was meandering through $CGC’s annual information circular (yeah, I’m a riot at parties) – and his compensation from the last fiscal year was $45MM CAD, and the total is for the time he’s spent so far as CEO.

It’s a heck of a number. While his base salary is around $1.2MM, options/PSUs as well as other incentives exist, and the total amount includes top ups and bonus and contingent payments that look like they’re meant to keep his compensation whole – as he left $STZ to assume the chair.

I’ll leave it at that.
