Netflix, which has struggled over the last year following an ill-fated attempt to split the DVD and streaming operations and a swooning stock price, recently attracted the attention of billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn who called for a sale of the company. Icahn holds about 10 percent stake in Netflix.
The company also raised Chief Financial Officer David Wells annual salary to $770,000 from $490,000, but lowered his stock option allocation to $330,000 from $510,000 it set for 2012. (Reporting by Himank Sharma in Bangalore; Editing by Sriraj Kalluvila)
