Altria
The tobacco giant released its latest proxy statement disclosing the total compensation packages paid to its top executives in 2011.
Chairman and CEO Michael Szymanczyk, who will retire next month, received $11.84 million in total compensation last year, down from $24 million in 2010. His 2011 pay consisted of $1.34 million in base salary, millions in stock and cash incentive awards, and other perks, including $300,000 worth of use of the company jet. The big drop in pay is due to $10 million in long-term incentive pay Szymanczyk received in 2010.
CFO Howard Willard received $2.9 million in total compensation last year, including a $600,000 base and $1.7 million in stock awards and incentives.
Vice Chairman David Beran received $4.21 million in total compensation in 2011, down from $9.84 million. His decline in pay was also thanks to long-term incentives received in 2010.
Martin Barrington, also a vice chairman, received a 2011 pay package of $4.61 million, down from $9.17 million. His base salary was $787,000.
Denise Keane, Altria’s general counsel, received $4.28 million in total compensation last year. That’s down from $9.07 million. Her base salary was $781,000.
Altria said its annual shareholders meeting would be May 17, at 9 a.m. at the Greater Richmond Convention Center.

Media General
The parent of the Richmond Times-Dispatch said it expects revenue in its print division to decline 8 percent in the first quarter compared with the same period last year. The company is pursuing a sale of its print products.
The company expects that broadcast revenue will grow 12 to 13 percent in the first quarter and that its broadcast cash flow will improve by more than 40 percent, in each case compared with the same period a year ago. It also expects digital revenue to decline approximately 15 percent for the quarter. It said that decline is due the weakness of its DealTaker.com operation. Media General said it anticipates identifying at least $4.5 million in cost savings during 2012. That’s on top of layoffs and furloughs it has instituted over the past few years.
Star Scientific
The company approved option awards and cash bonuses for some of its top executives. The bonuses were based on the executives’ contributions to the launch of the company’s Anatabloc dietary supplement, minimal salary increases over the past several years and the lack of annual cash bonuses since 2002.
