BOSTON: Herbalife Ltd cut the pay of chief executive Michael Johnson 36% for 2014 after the nutrition and weight loss company failed to meet performance goals set for him and other top executives, according to a securities filing last Friday.

Herbalife said Johnson, who is also chairman, received total compensation of US$6.73mil last year, down from US$10.5mil in 2013, mainly because he did not receive the incentive plan compensation of US$3.7mil he got the prior year.
