CBS board is reportedly negotiating a $100 million exit package for Les Moonves
-
CNBC reports that the discussions have been going on for "some time," but the board is far from reaching a conclusion over the Moonves sexual harassment scandal. "While under his contract he is due as much as $180 million in severance and a production deal, the board is offering a roughly $100 million exit package made up almost entirely of CBS stock, sources said," reports CNBC's David Faber. "They said the board also wants the right to claw back some of the compensation if it's determined that sexual harassment allegations against Moonves are confirmed."
