🥸 Exec Pay Faces Criticism

Agnico Eagle has faced opposition to its executive pay practices after it was revealed that the company paid one-time bonuses to top executives, including $10 million to executive chairman Sean Boyd, as a reward for the company's merger with Kirkland Lake Gold in February 2022.

This pushed Boyd's total pay above $20 million, making it the largest executive paycheque among major Canadian miners.

Two major proxy advisers, Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis & Co., have advised shareholders to vote against Agnico Eagle's compensation practices in the nonbinding vote.

Agnico Eagle is facing the risk of losing two consecutive say on pay votes, a rare occurrence in Canada.
