Radio and music group Chrysalis paid its departing finance director more than £1m as executives shared £875,000 of bonuses, according to the company's 2006 annual report.
Nigel Butterfield, who took early retirement in December 2005 after nearly 30 years at the group, was given a payoff of £937,000 in "compensation for loss of office", of which £565,000 was paid into his pension.

Taken together with the £106,000 in salary for four months' work and £4,000 in benefits, it took Mr Butterfield's earnings in his last year at Chrysalis to £1.05m.
The rest of the company's executives enjoyed pay rises on the back of hefty bonuses, having in some cases missed out on the extra payments for two years running.
Richard Huntingford, the chief executive, saw his pay go up 72% to £701,000 - his best tally since 2002 - thanks to a bonus of £291,000.
The chairman Chris Wright was paid £532,000, an increase of 64%, again thanks to a bonus of £197,000....
