Hanrahan joined Regis in August 2012 from Miami-based cruise and resort company Celebrity Cruises after activist investors sought changes in leadership and better performance. Nearly five years later he was terminated after the company continued to lose sales each year and only once reported an annual profit during his tenure.
Besides his salary (prorated since it was not the end of the fiscal year), Hanrahan received $9.3 million in severance payments, including two years worth of his annual salary ($1.7 million) and $7.6 million worth of accelerated long-term equity awards.
Those accelerated equity awards included grants made to Hanrahan in January 2015 that were meant to retain him through the five-year period of that award.
