AG Barr chief executive Roger White has seen his pay reach almost £1.1 million after increases in his annual and long term bonuses.
The Irn-Bru maker's annual report shows Mr White was paid a £421,000 basic salary in the 12 months to January 25.
On top of that he received an annual bonus of £320,000, long-term incentives which paid out £196,000, pension contributions worth £108,000 and other benefits to the value of £30,000.
AG Barr posted a rise in underlying pre-tax profits in the year from £38.1m to £41.2m on the back of revenue rising from £254.1m to £260.9m.
In the prior financial year Mr White was paid £989,000.
The annual report states Mr White and other executive directors will receive a three per cent increase in their basic salaries. That will take Mr White's to £434,000 with finance director Stuart Lorimer, who joined in January, seeing his increase from £250,000 to £256,000.
The annual report also shows average staff numbers increased from 999 to 1,048 with employee costs rising from £42.2m to £44.6m.

The company noted that the Irn-Bru store it opened in Glasgow's Merchant City during the Commonwealth Games raised £20,000 through merchandise sales. It donated the sum to the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice Brick by Brick Appeal.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
