Netflix CEO Hastings Can Qualify for $19.1 Million in 2016 Stock Options, Filing Shows

​The Netflix board’s compensation committee approved for 2016 a $900,000 salary for CEO Reed Hastings, according to an 8-K filing Tuesday at the SEC. That’s down from the $1 million Hastings got in 2015, according to the most recent Netflix proxy statement filed in April. However, for 2016, Hastings stands to qualify for up to $19.1 million in stock options, the 8-K said. That’s nearly 40 percent higher than the $13.7 million in stock options he qualified for in 2015, according to the April proxy.
