Holy moly that's quite the chunk of change considering the company is supposed to be cutting costs.
Less than a month after it was reported that Activision had told Blizzard to cut costs, it is paying its new chief financial officer a signing bonus worth $15 million (distributed as $3.75 million in cash and $11.3 million in restricted stock tied to performance targets, according to Bloomberg). That's on top of a $900,000 salary.
