The New York Times Co. named former BBC director general Mark Thompson as its new CEO earlier this week, and now comes word that he will receive a pay package totaling as much as $10.5 million, including an annual salary of $1 million, according to Bloomberg News. Mr. Thompson, who was previously the British Broadcasting Corp.'s director general, can make as much as $4.5 million from his signing bonus, $2 million in annual incentives and $3 million in long-term incentives, Bloomberg News reported. The 161-year-old publisher, faced with declining advertising revenue from its print editions, has been trying to boost revenue from digital products.

The new pay package is a raise for Mr. Thompson, who had reportedly received $976,000 in total compensation for his most recent year at the BBC. Bloomberg News contributed to this article.
