Scott Howe, CEO of Acxiom Corp. of Little Rock, was paid $6.3 million in fiscal 2015 — a pay bump of more than $1.2 million compared to fiscal 2014, according to documents filed Wednesday.

Chief Revenue Officer and EVP Nada C. Stirratt, who left the company at the end of the fiscal year, received total compensation of $2.25 million, which also was higher than the $2.13 million she received in fiscal 2014. That included a base salary of $513,750, up from $507,081 in fiscal 2014; $720,512 million in stock awards and options valued at $357,362. She also received severance payments and benefits of about $906,504.

Chief Innovation and Technology Officer Phil L. Mui received a total compensation of $1.75 million, which was roughly flat year over year. His base salary of $470,000 was up from $435,618 in fiscal 2014, and he also received $689,279 in stock awards and $340,350 in options, a cash incentive of $142,000 and $108,085 in other compensation.

EVP Jerry C. Jones, chief ethics and legal officer, received total compensation of about $1.12 million, down about $10,000 from fiscal 2014. He received a base salary of $402,500 — up from $390,618; $291,649 in stock awards and $144,648 in options; and a cash incentive of $172,000.

The company will host its annual shareholders meeting on Aug. 18 and will be its first “completely virtual” meeting.

Shareholders will be asked to vote on several items, including electing two directors, reapproving performance goals from the company’s “Amended and Restated 2010 Executive Cash Incentive Plan” and approving the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan and an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the plan.

Shareholders will also vote on approving the executive compensation policy and renewing Acxiom’s contract with independent auditors at KPMG LLC.
