ITV chief's remuneration rises by 189% on 2012, boosted by shares awarded in 2010 and company's performance share planITV chief executive Adam Crozier's total remuneration almost tripled to more than £8m last year, boosted by the award of shares worth nearly £6m under incentive schemes.Crozier earned an overall remuneration packet of £8.4m in 2013, a 189% increase from the £2.9m he received in 2012, according to ITV's annual report for last year, published on Thursday.The figure rocketed last year because Crozier was awarded £3.95m in shares under a joining package agreed when he took up the role in 2010 and he received a further £2.04m in stock from the company's performance share plan (PSP).Crozier received £2.4m in 2013 in cash and pension contributions, including a bonus of £1.4m and a base salary of £841,000.
