Peter Cowgill was awarded £4.3m despite the retailer accepting Covid support from the government.
JD Sports is facing an investor backlash after handing its boss a £4.3m bonus despite benefiting from hundreds of millions of pounds in Covid support.
The retailer received £61m through the UK furlough scheme and an estimated £38m in business rates relief. The bulk of Mr Cowgill's bonus for last year came from a special award of £6m which was granted to the executive chairman in 2019 to reflect his "exceptional performance". The payment went ahead in January this year "following a detailed review". The additional final instalment of £1.5m has also since been paid to Mr Cowgill.
