Coca-Cola Enterprises awarded its CEO US$15.5m worth of compensation last year, according to recent figures.

The amount was an increase on the $9.1m John Brock earned in 2008, the firm said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Friday (5 March).

The total compensation figure included a salary increase to $1.15m from $1.14m in the previous year.

Brock also earned a $3.5m performance related bonus, up from $147,000 in 2008, $6.7m in stock awards, $2.8m in option awards, and $125,198 in ‘other’ compensation.

Last month the US bottler reported a net income of US$731m for the 12 months to 31 December. This compared to a loss of $4.39bn in the previous year.

Full-year sales however, were down 0.5%, as North American sales declined 0.5% and European sales declined 1.5%.
