Netflix has promised to make “substantial changes” to its executive pay model after significant shareholder pushback regarding the sizable pay packages.

“We recognize we don’t have wide support for our executive compensation model of the last 20 years. We are listening to our shareholders and plan on substantial changes for 2024 to a more conventional model,” Netflix said in its third quarter earnings statement. “Our executive compensation plan will continue to be built on pay for performance.”

The commitment to switch up the compensation model comes months after the company’s shareholders rejected the streamer’s $166 million executive pay package in June.
