The brewer of Coors Light and Molson said in a regulatory filing Wednesday that Peter Swinburn received a salary of $875,000 and a performance-based bonus of $2.1 million.
He also received stock and option awards worth $4.9 million when they were granted.
His other compensation totaled $240,456, including a $100,000 payment made according to his relocation agreement.
