Holders of CBS Corporation Class A Common Stock are being asked to vote on the matters listed in the attached Notice of 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

              If you hold shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, please cast your vote promptly to ensure that your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting. You may vote by telephone or through the Internet by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or in the 2014 Proxy Statement. You may also submit your vote by returning a proxy card or voting instruction card, if you received a printed copy of proxy materials by request. If you attend the Annual Meeting, you may vote your shares in person.

              National Amusements, Inc., which as of March 31, 2014 beneficially owned shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock representing approximately 79.7% of the voting power of CBS Corporation's common stock, has advised CBS Corporation that it intends to vote all of its shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors on Items 1, 2 and 3 in the attached Notice. Therefore, approval of matters 1, 2 and 3, in accordance with the Board's recommendations, is assured.

              If you wish to attend the Annual Meeting in person, you must be a holder of Company common stock as of the record date (March 31, 2014) and request an admission ticket in advance. Each such holder eligible to attend the Annual Meeting may bring one guest. If you are a registered holder of the Company's Class A Common Stock, you can request a ticket when you vote by telephone or through the Internet, or by marking the appropriate box on the proxy card (if you requested a printed copy of proxy materials). If you are a registered holder of the Company's Class B Common Stock or you hold shares of the Company's Class A or Class B Common Stock in a brokerage account, you can request a ticket by sending a written request along with proof of ownership, such as your brokerage firm account statement as of the record date (March 31, 2014), to Director, Shareholder Relations, CBS Corporation, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019.

The Company may implement security procedures as it deems appropriate to ensure the safety of meeting attendees.

We highly recommend that you consider electronic delivery of these documents as it helps to lower the Company's costs and reduce the amount of paper mailed to your home.

              We appreciate your interest in and support of CBS Corporation and look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.

CBS CORPORATION
2014 PROXY STATEMENT




VOTING AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Solicitation of Proxies

              A proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of CBS Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("CBS Corporation" or the "Company"), for use at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on Thursday, May 22, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time. The close of business on March 31, 2014 is the record date for determining the record holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Holders of the Company's non-voting Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, are not entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

              As of March 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding 39,051,102 shares of its Class A Common Stock, each of such shares being entitled to one vote, and 536,524,034 non-voting shares of its Class B Common Stock (together with the Company's Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock").

Internet Availability of Proxy Materials

              In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, instead of mailing to stockholders a printed copy of the Company's proxy statement, annual report and other materials relating to the Annual Meeting ("proxy materials"), the Company intends to mail to stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice of Internet Availability"), which advises that the proxy materials are available on the Internet. The Company intends to commence its distribution of the Notice of Internet Availability on or about April 11, 2014. Stockholders receiving a Notice of Internet Availability by mail will not receive a printed copy of proxy materials, unless they so request. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability will instruct stockholders as to how they may access and review proxy materials on the Internet. Stockholders who receive a Notice of Internet Availability by mail who would like to receive a printed copy of the Company's proxy materials, including a proxy card or voting instruction card, should follow the instructions for requesting these materials included in the Notice of Internet Availability. Stockholders who currently receive printed copies of proxy materials who would like to receive future copies of these documents electronically instead of by mail should follow the instructions for requesting electronic delivery set forth in the "Other Matters" section in this proxy statement.

Submission of Proxies

              Each of the persons named in the proxy card and on the Company's voting website at www.proxyvote.com (the "proxy holders"), individually and with the power to appoint his substitute, has been designated by the Company's Board of Directors to vote the shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The proxy holders are officers of the Company. They will vote the shares represented by each valid and timely received proxy in accordance with the stockholder's instructions, or if no instructions are specified, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors as described in this proxy statement. If any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote on that matter in their discretion.

              Registered holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock may submit a proxy in the following ways:


Table of Contents

              "Beneficial holders" (defined below) will receive voting materials, including instructions on how to vote, directly from the holder of record.

              Shares Held in the Company's 401(k) Plans.    Voting instructions relating to shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock held in the Company's 401(k) plan must be received no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 20, 2014, so that the trustee of the plan (who votes the shares on behalf of plan participants) has adequate time to tabulate the voting instructions. Shares held in the 401(k) plan that are not voted or for which the trustee does not receive timely voting instructions will be voted by the trustee in the same proportion as the shares held in the plan that are timely voted.

              Voting Other than by Proxy.    While the Company encourages holders of its Class A Common Stock to vote by proxy, holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock (other than shares held in the 401(k) plan) also have the option of voting their shares in person at the Annual Meeting. Some holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock hold their shares in "street name" through a broker or other nominee and are therefore known as "beneficial holders." If shares of Class A Common Stock are held for a beneficial holder in a brokerage, bank or other institutional account, then the beneficial holder must obtain a proxy from that entity and bring it to the Annual Meeting in order to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies

              A proxy may be revoked before the voting deadline by sending written notice to Angeline C. Straka, Secretary, CBS Corporation, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019, or by submission (including telephonic or Internet submission) of a proxy bearing a later date than the proxy being revoked to Proxy Services, P.O. Box 9111, Farmingdale, NY 11735-9543. Revocations made by telephone or through the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 21, 2014. A holder may also revoke a proxy by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

              Shares Held in the Company's 401(k) Plan.    Voting instructions relating to shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock held in the Company's 401(k) plan may be revoked prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 20, 2014, by sending written notice to Angeline C. Straka, Secretary, CBS Corporation, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019, or by timely submission (including telephonic or Internet submission) of voting instructions bearing a later date than the voting instructions being revoked to Proxy Services, P.O. Box 9111, Farmingdale, NY 11735-9543.

Quorum

              Under the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the Company's Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date, present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, shall constitute a quorum.

2


Table of Contents

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Matters to Be Considered at the Annual Meeting

              The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the following matters:

              The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the Company's Class A Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting ("majority vote") is required to elect each of the 14 nominated directors and to approve Items 2 and 3 set forth above. An abstention with respect to any matter will have the effect of a vote against such matter.

              Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), a broker or other nominee holding shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock on behalf of a beneficial holder may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some matters to be acted upon at stockholders' meetings. Therefore, if a beneficial holder does not give the broker or nominee specific voting instructions, the holder's shares may not be voted on those matters and a broker non-vote will occur. Under the rules of the NYSE, brokers or nominees may vote on the matter listed as Item 2 above, but not on the matters listed as Items 1 and 3 above, if they do not receive instructions from the beneficial holder of the shares held in street name. A broker non-vote will have no effect on the voting results for Items 1 and 3 above.

              As of March 31, 2014, National Amusements, Inc. ("National Amusements") beneficially owned directly and indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary, NAI Entertainment Holdings LLC ("NAI EH"), approximately 79.7% of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock and approximately 6.9% of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a combined basis. Sumner M. Redstone, the controlling stockholder of National Amusements, is Executive Chairman and Founder of the Company. National Amusements has advised the Company that it intends to vote all of its shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in favor of each of Items 1, 2 and 3 above. Such action by National Amusements will be sufficient to constitute a quorum and to approve each of the matters.

Cost of Proxy Solicitation and Inspector of Election

              The Company will pay the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, printing and mailing of the Notice of Internet Availability and, as applicable, this proxy statement and the related materials. The Company will furnish copies of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if requested, this proxy statement and related materials to banks, brokers, fiduciaries and custodians that hold shares on behalf of beneficial holders so that they may forward the materials to the beneficial holders. IVS Associates, Inc. will serve as the independent inspector of election for the Annual Meeting.

Mailing Address

              The Company's mailing address is 51 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

              CBS Corporation's corporate governance practices are established and monitored by its Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Board, with assistance from its Nominating and Governance Committee, regularly assesses CBS Corporation's governance practices in light of legal requirements and governance best practices. In several areas, CBS Corporation's practices go beyond the requirements of the NYSE corporate governance listing standards (the "NYSE listing standards"). For example, despite being a "controlled company" (i.e., a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual or another company), CBS Corporation has a majority of independent directors on its Board and has an independent Compensation Committee and an independent Nominating and Governance Committee, none of which is required for controlled companies under the NYSE listing standards.

              CBS Corporation's principal governance documents are as follows:

              These documents are available on the Company's public website at www.cbscorporation.com, and copies of these documents may also be requested by writing to Investor Relations, CBS Corporation, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019. The Company encourages its stockholders to read these documents, as we believe they illustrate CBS Corporation's commitment to good governance practices. Certain key provisions of these documents are summarized below.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

              CBS Corporation's Corporate Governance Guidelines (the "Guidelines") set forth the Company's corporate governance principles and practices on a variety of topics, including the responsibilities, composition and functioning of the Board, director qualifications, and the roles of the Board Committees. The Guidelines are periodically reviewed and updated as needed. The Guidelines provide, among other things, that:

Table of Contents

Board Committee Charters

              Each Board Committee operates under a written charter that has been adopted by the Board. The Company has three standing Committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Committee charters set forth the purpose, objectives and responsibilities of each Committee and discuss matters such as Committee membership requirements, number of meetings and the setting of meeting agendas. The charters are assessed at least every other year, or more frequently as the applicable Committee may determine, and are updated as needed. More information on the Committees, their respective roles and responsibilities and their charters can be found under "CBS Corporation's Board of Directors—Board Committees."

Business Conduct Statement

              The Company's Business Conduct Statement ("BCS") sets forth the Company's standards for ethical conduct that are expected of all directors and employees of the Company. The BCS is available on the Company's website at www.cbscorporation.com and on the Company's intranet sites and also has been distributed to the Company's employees and directors. As part of the Company's compliance and ethics program, directors and full-time employees are required to certify as to their compliance with the BCS and, on an ongoing basis, must disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The Company has also implemented an online BCS training program. The BCS addresses, among other things, topics such as:

              The BCS provides numerous avenues for employees to report violations of the BCS or matters of concern, whether anonymously or with attribution, to the appropriate officers of the Company and/or the Audit Committee. These avenues include a telephone hotline, email contacts or direct communication with the Company's compliance officers. The BCS also provides that the Company will protect anyone who makes a good faith report of a violation of the BCS and that retaliation against an employee who makes a good faith report will not be tolerated.

              Waivers of the BCS for the Company's executive officers or directors will be disclosed on the Company's website at www.cbscorporation.com or by Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Table of Contents

Supplemental Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers

              The Supplemental Code of Ethics is applicable to the Company's Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer (who also performs the duties of the Chief Financial Officer) and Chief Accounting Officer. The Supplemental Code of Ethics, which is available on the Company's website at www.cbscorporation.com, addresses matters specific to those senior financial positions in the Company, including responsibility for the disclosures made in CBS Corporation's filings with the SEC, reporting obligations with respect to certain matters and a general obligation to promote honest and ethical conduct within the Company. The senior financial officers are also required to comply with the BCS. Amendments to or waivers of the Supplemental Code of Ethics for these officers will be disclosed on the Company's website at www.cbscorporation.com or by Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

CBS CORPORATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

              The Company's Board of Directors is currently comprised of 14 members: David R. Andelman, Joseph A. Califano, Jr., William S. Cohen, Gary L. Countryman, Charles K. Gifford, Leonard Goldberg, Bruce S. Gordon, Linda M. Griego, Arnold Kopelson, Leslie Moonves, Doug Morris, Shari Redstone, Sumner M. Redstone and Frederic V. Salerno. All of the current members of the Board were elected at the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

              During 2013, the Board held 7 meetings and also acted by unanimous written consent. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and Committees on which such director served during 2013. In addition to Board and Committee meetings, directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting, and all of the directors standing for election in 2013 were present at the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

              In accordance with the Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards, the non-management directors meet separately, without directors who are Company employees, at least two times each year, and at such other times as they deem appropriate. The independent directors also meet separately, without those directors who are not independent as determined by the Board, at least two times each year, and at such other times as they deem appropriate. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee preside at meetings of the non-management directors and independent directors on a rotating basis. During 2013, the non-management directors met 5 times, and the independent directors met 5 times.

Director Independence

              The Company's Guidelines provide that a majority of the Company's directors must be independent of the Company, as "independence" is defined in the NYSE listing standards and in the Guidelines. The NYSE listing standards set forth five "bright-line" tests that require a finding that a director is not independent if the director fails any of the tests. In addition, the NYSE listing standards provide that a director is not independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no "material relationship" with the Company. The Guidelines set forth categorical standards to assist the Board in determining what constitutes a "material relationship" with the Company. Generally under these categorical standards, the following relationships are deemed not to be material:

7


Table of Contents

              For relationships that exceed the thresholds described above, the determination of whether the relationship is material or not, and therefore whether the director would be independent or not, is made by the directors who are independent. In addition, the Guidelines state that, generally, the types of relationships not addressed by the NYSE listing standards or described in the Guidelines will not cause an otherwise independent director to be considered not independent. However, the Board may determine that a director is not independent for any reason it deems appropriate.

              The full text of the Guidelines is available on the Company's website at www.cbscorporation.com.

              In March 2014, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviewed the independence of the 14 director nominees standing for election at the Annual Meeting to determine its recommendation regarding which nominees meet the independence standards outlined above. The Board, based on its review and the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, determined that 9 of the 14 nominees are independent. The independent director nominees are Messrs. Califano, Cohen, Countryman, Gifford, Gordon, Kopelson, Morris and Salerno and Ms. Griego.

              During its review, in determining that the director nominees named above are independent, the Board considered the transactions disclosed under "Related Person Transactions," all of which the Board determined were immaterial to, and would not impair, each such director's independence. The Board also considered that the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business have, during the past three years, sold products and services to, and/or purchased products and services from, persons and companies and other entities, of which certain directors were executive officers or principals during 2013, and determined that all of these transactions were below the threshold for relationships deemed to be immaterial under the Guidelines.

Board Leadership Structure

              The Company's Board of Directors separates its Board chairman and principal executive officer positions. The Company believes that this structure is most appropriate for the Company, since the two positions serve different functions. The Company's Executive Chairman provides leadership as chairman of the board and strategic oversight of the Company. He is uniquely suited for this position, given his history with the Company as a principal participant in the establishment of the Company and as a stockholder who has maintained, through National Amusements, a controlling ownership position since that time. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day-to-day supervision, management and control of the business and affairs of the Company and serves as a bridge between management and the Board to support the alignment of the goals of both. In addition, the Board has appointed a Vice Chair whose responsibilities include the duties set forth in the Company's Bylaws. In support of the independent oversight of management, the non-management directors and, separately, the independent directors routinely meet and hold discussions without management present. While the Company does not maintain a written succession plan with respect to the Executive Chairman, in accordance with the Guidelines, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee will together review periodically succession planning for the Executive Chairman, and others, and report to the non-management directors on these reviews.

Board Risk Oversight

              The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight of the Company's risk management process. The Board carries out its oversight responsibility directly and through the delegation to its Committees of responsibilities related to the oversight of certain risks, as follows:

8


Table of Contents

              Each of these Committees reports regularly to the Board on these risk-related matters, among other items within its purview. On an annual basis, the Board conducts strategy sessions, which include presentations from economic, political and industry experts, among others, on matters affecting the Company, to assist the Board and management in preparing and implementing strategic initiatives, including risk management. In addition, the Board and Committees receive regular reports from management that include matters affecting the Company's risk profile, including, among others, operations reports from the Chief Executive Officer and from division heads, all of which include strategic and operational risks; reports from the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Accounting Officer on credit and liquidity risks and on the integrity of internal controls over financial reporting; reports from the Chief Legal Officer on legal risks and material litigation; and reports on internal audit activities from the Senior Vice President, Internal Audit. The Audit Committee also receives periodic reports from the Company's Chief Compliance Officer on the Company's compliance program and from the Senior Vice President, Internal Audit on the internal audit plan for the upcoming fiscal year, the scope of which is to determine the adequacy and function of the Company's risk management, control and governance processes. Outside of formal meetings, Board members have regular access to senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Accounting Officer, the Chief Legal Officer and the Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer. The Committee and management reports, strategy sessions and real-time management access collectively provide the Board with integrated insight on the Company's management of its risks.

Audit Committee

              The Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee will be comprised of at least three members and that all of the members on the Committee must be independent directors. Also, the Committee must have at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as described below) and all Committee members must be financially literate. The Committee holds at least five regular meetings each year, and it regularly meets separately at these meetings with the independent auditor, the Company's Chief Legal Officer, its Senior Vice President of Internal Audit and other members of the Company's senior management. The Committee is responsible for the following, among other things:

              For additional information on the Committee's role and its oversight of the independent auditor during 2013, see "Report of the Audit Committee."

              Audit Committee Financial Experts.    The Board has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are "financially literate," as that term is interpreted by the Board in its business judgment. In addition, the Board has determined that two members of the Audit Committee, including Mr. Countryman (Chair), qualify as "audit committee financial experts," as that term is defined in the regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Table of Contents

Compensation Committee

              The Compensation Committee Charter provides that the Compensation Committee will be comprised of at least three members, except that the Committee is deemed to be properly constituted with at least two members in the event of a vacancy until the Board fills the vacancy. The Charter also provides that all of the members on the Committee must be independent directors and that the Committee shall also satisfy the relevant requirements established pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Committee holds at least four regular meetings each year and is responsible for the following, among other things:

              Consideration and Determination of Executive Compensation.    The Compensation Committee reviews all components of senior executives' compensation, including base salary, annual and long-term incentives and severance arrangements. In approving compensation for the senior executives (other than the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer), the Committee considers the input and recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the senior executives' performances, the Chief Operating Officer with respect to those senior executives who report directly to him and the Chief Legal Officer with respect to those senior executives who report directly to him. With respect to the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Committee reviews and approves goals and objectives relevant to their compensation and, together with the Nominating and Governance Committee, annually evaluates the performances of the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives. The results of these evaluations are then reported to the non-management directors. The Compensation Committee sets compensation for the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer taking these evaluations into account. The Committee then reports to the Board on the process for setting compensation for the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

              The Company's processes and procedures for the consideration of executive compensation and the role of the Company's executive officers in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive compensation are more fully described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section below. Director compensation is approved by the Board, based on recommendations from the Nominating and Governance Committee, as more fully described in the "Nominating and Governance Committee" section below.

              The Compensation Committee has the power to delegate its authority and duties to subcommittees or individuals as it deems appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Committee has delegated to the President and Chief Executive Officer limited authority (with respect to executives who are not senior executives) to grant long-term incentive awards under the Company's long-term incentive plan to such executives in connection with their hiring,

promotion or contract renewal and to modify the terms of outstanding equity grants in certain post-termination scenarios, as discussed in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section below.

              The Committee is empowered to retain compensation consultants having special competence to assist the Committee in evaluating executive officer and employee compensation. The Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate such consultants and to review and approve such consultants' fees and other retention terms. The Committee retains an independent compensation consulting firm, currently Exequity LLP, to advise the Committee in its review of senior executive compensation. The Compensation Committee adopted a policy in 2008 providing that the independent compensation consulting firm will not be considered as a provider of services to the Company, other than for services provided to the Compensation Committee. Accordingly, other than these services provided to the Committee, Exequity does not perform any administrative or consulting services for the Company. In furtherance of the Committee's review of senior executive compensation, the independent consultant examines the compensation practices at companies with which the Company competes for senior executive talent, including those companies engaged in similar business activities and other publicly traded U.S. companies, and provides other analysis, as more fully described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section below. The Committee has assessed the independence of Exequity and concurred that Exequity's work for the Committee does not raise any conflict of interest.

Nominating and Governance Committee

              The Nominating and Governance Committee's Charter provides that the Nominating and Governance Committee will be comprised of at least three members, except that the Committee is deemed to be properly constituted with at least two members in the event of a vacancy until the Board fills the vacancy. The Charter also provides that all of the members on the Committee must be independent directors. The Committee holds at least three regular meetings each year and is responsible for the following, among other things:

              The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee also chair the executive sessions of non-management and independent directors on a rotating basis.

              Consideration and Determination of Director Compensation.    The Committee annually reviews and recommends for the Board's consideration the form and amount of compensation for Outside Directors. "Outside Directors" are directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Only Outside Directors are eligible to receive compensation for serving on the Board, as more fully described in the "Director Compensation" section below. In connection with its 2014 review and recommendation, the Committee received advice from the independent

12


Table of Contents

compensation consulting firm retained by the Compensation Committee regarding market practice for director compensation.

              In accordance with the Guidelines and its Charter, the Committee is guided by three principles in its review of Outside Director compensation and benefits: Outside Directors should be fairly compensated for the services they provide to the Company, taking into account, among other things, the size and complexity of the Company's business and compensation and benefits paid to directors of comparable companies; Outside Directors' interests should be aligned with the interests of stockholders; and Outside Directors' compensation should be easy for stockholders to understand.

              The recommendations of the Committee with respect to director compensation are subject to approval by the Board.

              2014 Director Nomination Process; Board Diversity.    In connection with the 2014 director nomination process, the Committee reviewed the current composition of the Board in light of the considerations set forth in its Charter and the Company's Guidelines. The Committee also considered input received from other directors on Board member qualifications, Board composition and any special circumstances that the Committee considers important in its determination. After taking these considerations into account, the Committee determined to recommend to the Board that each of the current members of the Board be nominated to stand for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting.

              As part of its review, the Committee considers diversity, among other factors. The Committee considers diversity to be a broadly defined concept which takes into account professional experience, gender and ethnicity, among other characteristics. As a result of considering diversity as part of its nomination process, multiple industries are represented on the Board, including the entertainment and media, communications, banking, legal, insurance and management consulting industries, among others. Additionally, distinguished contributors to governmental and not-for-profit organizations also serve on the Board. Multiple professions are represented among the directors, including current and past experience as principal executive and principal financial officers, attorneys, high-level government officials, entrepreneurs and television, film and record producers, among others. Also, over the eight-year period following the separation of former Viacom Inc. ("Former Viacom") into two publicly traded companies, CBS Corporation and new Viacom Inc. (the "Separation"), the Committee has nominated, and stockholders have elected, a total of four female directors, one of whom is Hispanic, and one African-American director. The Committee assesses the effectiveness of its consideration of diversity as part of its annual nomination process, when it reviews the composition of the Board as a whole.

              Stockholder Recommendations for Director.    The Committee will consider candidates for director recommended by the stockholders of the Company. All recommendations by stockholders for potential director candidates, which shall include written materials with respect to the potential candidate, should be sent to Angeline C. Straka, Secretary, CBS Corporation, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019. The Company's Guidelines and Nominating and Governance Committee Charter set forth certain criteria for director qualifications and Board composition that stockholders should consider when making a recommendation. These criteria include an expectation that directors have substantial accomplishments in their professional backgrounds, are able to make independent, analytical inquiries, and exhibit practical wisdom and mature judgment. Directors of CBS Corporation should also possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and be committed to promoting the long-term interests of CBS Corporation's stockholders. Director candidates recommended by stockholders who meet the director qualifications, which are described more fully in the Company's Guidelines and Nominating and Governance Committee Charter, will be considered by the Chair of the Committee, who will present the information on the candidate to the entire Committee. Director candidates recommended by stockholders will be considered by the Committee in the same manner as any other candidate.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

              The Board of Directors adopted a written policy whereby the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews and approves, ratifies or takes other actions it deems appropriate with respect to a related person transaction that, under the rules of the SEC, is required to be disclosed in the Company's proxy statement. In its review, the Committee considers the related person's interest in the transaction; the material terms of the transaction, including the dollar amount involved; the importance of the transaction to the related person and the Company; whether the transaction would impair the judgment of the related person; and any other information the Committee deems appropriate.

              Any member of the Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the review or vote respecting the transaction; however, that person may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Committee that considers the transaction.

              Under the policy, the Company's legal staff is primarily responsible for determining whether a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in a transaction with the Company that is required to be disclosed. The determination will be made after a review of information obtained from the related person and information available from the Company's records. The staff is responsible for establishing and maintaining policies and procedures to obtain relevant information to allow it to make the determination.

Agreements Related to Viacom Inc.

              National Amusements, the Company's controlling stockholder, is also the controlling stockholder of Viacom Inc. ("Viacom"). Mr. Sumner M. Redstone, the controlling stockholder, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of National Amusements, serves as the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors for both the Company and Viacom.

              During 2013, the Company, as part of its normal course of business, entered into transactions with Viacom and its subsidiaries. The Company, through its Entertainment segment, licenses its television products and leases its production facilities to Viacom's media networks businesses. In addition, the Company recognizes revenues for advertising spending placed by various subsidiaries of Viacom. Viacom also distributes certain of the Company's television products in the home entertainment market. The Company's total revenues from these transactions were $195 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company places advertisements with, leases production facilities from, and purchases other goods and services from, various subsidiaries of Viacom. The total amounts from these transactions were $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, Viacom owed the Company approximately $199 million, and the Company owed Viacom approximately $1 million in connection with the Company's various normal course of business transactions with Viacom.

              The Company believes that the terms of all such transactions were no more or less favorable to the Company and its businesses than they would have obtained from unrelated parties. The Company expects for the foreseeable future to continue to have transactions with Viacom.

Other Related Person Transactions

              National Amusements, for 2013, paid to CBS Films, a subsidiary of the Company, approximately $730,000 for CBS' share of revenues from the theatrical exhibition of CBS Films' motion pictures in National Amusements' theaters. The Company believes that the terms of this arrangement are no more or less favorable to the Company than it could have obtained from unrelated parties. The

Company expects for the foreseeable future to continue this type of arrangement with National Amusements.

              The National Center on Alcohol and Substance Abuse at Columbia University ("CASA-Columbia") sponsors an annual "Family Day" event, the purpose of which is to encourage families to eat dinner together. During 2013, Mr. Califano served as Founder and Chairman Emeritus. In 2013, certain divisions of the Company and its subsidiaries supported the cause by airing public service announcements (PSAs) that promote Family Day. It is anticipated that divisions of the Company and its subsidiaries will from time to time promote Family Day. In addition, in 2013, the Company made contributions totaling $50,000 to CASA-Columbia.

              Pursuant to an agreement between a subsidiary of the Company and Panda Productions, a television and film production company owned 50% by Mr. Goldberg, he serves as an Executive Producer of CBS Network's television series, Blue Bloods. In connection with this agreement, during 2013, the Company paid to Panda Productions fees per episode for Mr. Goldberg's executive producer services, which are consistent with fees paid to other executive producers at Mr. Goldberg's level. The Company will also pay Panda Productions additional fees, as additional episodes have been ordered for the 2014/2015 broadcast season. The Company may also in the future pay additional contingent compensation to Panda Productions based upon its negotiated participation in net revenues received by the Company in connection with the Blue Bloods series. The Company believes that the terms of the agreement with Panda Productions are no more or less favorable to the Company than it could have obtained from unrelated parties.

              Jennifer Bresnan, the wife of Mr. Ianniello since 2012, was an employee in the alternative programming department of the CBS Network from 2007 through February 2014. She received compensation in 2013 in an amount consistent with the compensation paid to other employees at her level. The Company has entered into an arrangement with Ms. Bresnan, beginning in 2014, whereby she served as an Executive Producer for a television pilot under consideration by the CBS Network and will continue to serve as an Executive Producer, and will only receive payment, if that pilot is ordered to series. The Company believes the terms of the arrangement with Ms. Bresnan are no more or less favorable to the Company than it would have obtained from unrelated parties.

              Julie Chen, the wife of Mr. Moonves, is a host of the CBS Network show The Talk and the host of the CBS Network show Big Brother. Ms. Chen's compensation is comparable to on-air talent in similar positions at the CBS Network, and the Company believes it is comparable to on-air talent in such positions generally.

              Amy Salerno, daughter of Mr. Salerno, is an employee in the Business Development department of Showtime Networks Inc., a subsidiary of the Company. Ms. Salerno has been an employee of Showtime Networks for approximately fourteen years. She is not an executive officer of the Company or of Showtime. Ms. Salerno received compensation in 2013 in an amount consistent with the compensation paid to other employees at her level.

              In November 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Gabelli Asset Management Company ("GAMCO") pursuant to which GAMCO manages certain assets for qualified U.S. pension plans sponsored by the Company. For 2013, the Company paid GAMCO approximately $209,000 for such investment management services. The Company believes that the terms of the agreement with GAMCO are no more or less favorable to the Company than it could have obtained from unrelated parties. Entities that are affiliated with GAMCO collectively own 4,411,381 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, according to a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 15, 2011 by such entities (the latest filing available), which shares, as of February 28, 2014, represented approximately 11.3% of the outstanding shares of the class.

Description of Director Compensation

              Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are "Outside Directors" as defined in the director plans described below. Outside Directors receive compensation for their service on the Board and are eligible to participate in these director plans. Messrs. Andelman, Califano, Cohen, Countryman, Gifford, Goldberg, Gordon, Kopelson, Morris and Salerno and Mses. Griego and Redstone are currently deemed Outside Directors. Messrs. Redstone and Moonves are not compensated for serving on the Board and are not eligible to participate in any director plans, other than the Matching Gifts Program for Directors.

Cash Compensation

              The Company pays the following cash compensation to Outside Directors:

Deferred Compensation Plan

              The Company maintains deferred compensation plans for Outside Directors (the "Director Deferred Compensation Plans"). Under the Director Deferred Compensation Plans, Outside Directors may elect to defer their Board and committee retainer and committee meeting fees. Deferred amounts are credited during a calendar quarter to an interest-bearing income account or a stock unit account in accordance with the director's prior election. Amounts credited to an income account bear interest at the prime rate in effect at the beginning of each calendar quarter. Amounts credited to a stock unit account are deemed invested in phantom units for shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the first day of the calendar quarter following the quarter in which the amounts are credited, with the number of shares calculated based on the closing market prices on that first day. Until the amounts credited to the stock unit account are converted into phantom units, these credited amounts bear interest at the prime rate in effect at the beginning of the relevant calendar quarter.

              Upon a director's leaving the Board, the amounts deferred under the Director Deferred Compensation Plans are paid in cash in a lump sum or in three or five annual installments, based on the director's prior election, with the lump sum or initial annual installment becoming payable on the later of six months after the director leaves the Board (90 days after the director leaves the Board in the case of amounts deferred before January 1, 2005) or January 15th of the following year. The value of a stock unit account is determined by reference to the average of the respective closing market prices of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the NYSE on each trading date during the four-week period ending five business days prior to the initial payment date. Amounts paid in installments accrue interest until the final installment is paid.

Equity Compensation

              The Company maintains the amended and restated CBS Corporation 2005 RSU Plan for Outside Directors (the "Director RSU Plan") and the amended and restated CBS Corporation 2000 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "Director Option Plan").

              RSUs are payable to Outside Directors in shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock upon vesting unless the Outside Director elects to defer the settlement to a future date. Outside Directors are entitled to receive dividend equivalents on the RSUs in the event the Company pays a regular cash dividend on its Class B Common Stock. Dividend equivalents will accrue on the RSUs (including RSUs for which settlement has been deferred) in accordance with the Director RSU Plan until the RSUs are settled.

              Effective January 29, 2014, the amount of the annual grant of RSUs was increased to a value of $200,000.

Option Awards

              Prior to January 29, 2014, Outside Directors, on the date they joined the Board as, or otherwise became, an Outside Director, received a grant of 12,734 stock options to purchase shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock under the Director Option Plan. Effective January 29, 2014, this initial grant was eliminated.

Matching Gifts Program for Directors

              All directors are eligible to participate in the Company's Matching Gifts Program for Directors. Under the program, the Company matches donations made by a director to eligible tax-exempt organizations at the rate of one dollar for each dollar donated up to $7,500 for each fiscal year. The purpose of the program is to recognize the interest of the Company and its directors in supporting eligible organizations.

Other

              Expenses:    Directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending Board, committee and stockholder meetings (including travel and lodging) in accordance with the Company's normal travel policies.

              Director Attendance at Certain Other Events:    CBS Corporation believes it is in its best interest for directors to participate in certain Company events and other events to meet with management, customers, talent and others important to the Company's business. The Board has established a policy on director attendance at these events. Under the policy, tickets to events that are designated as having a business purpose are allocated to directors. In addition, the Company reimburses directors for travel and related expenses in accordance with the Company's normal travel policies.

ITEM 2—RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

              The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014, subject to stockholder ratification.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Fiscal Year 2013 Executive Summary

Company Performance

              CBS Corporation had an exceptional 2013 fiscal year, maintaining and building upon the momentum it had established in the prior three fiscal years to achieve record-breaking financial results in certain key metrics. This strong performance directly resulted from the continued leadership of the senior management team in executing on the Company's key strategic objectives, including optimizing the Company's portfolio of assets, driving growth by capitalizing on the demand for its top-tier content and continuing to diversify its revenue streams through new distribution channels and markets. The execution of this strategy, with cumulative successes over the past four years, has continued to cultivate significant rewards for shareholders and position the Company for long-term success.

The Company delivered exceptional results and continued to fortify its financial position and build upon the value delivered to stockholders, all of which reflect the cumulative effects of stellar performance for four years in a row:

Pay for Performance

              CBS's performance-based compensation programs provide for the opportunity to reward the executive officers whose compensation is individually disclosed in the tables that appear on subsequent pages (the "named executive officers") and certain other senior executives (together with the named executive officers, the "senior executives") for contributing to annual financial and operational performance (through annual bonus programs) and stock price appreciation (through long-term equity incentives). A high percentage of the named executive officers' total target compensation is performance-based (targeted at 74% – 91% of total target compensation for 2013). The following chart shows the percentage of the average of the named executive officers' target total compensation that is allocable to fixed versus variable compensation.

40


Table of Contents

GRAPHIC

              In selecting the financial performance metrics, goals and criteria for the performance-based compensation programs each year, the Compensation Committee considers the Company's annual operating budget for the upcoming year, as approved by the Board. The budgeting process reflects aggressive goal-setting which has resulted in the Company's outperformance of its industry peers. Thus, the Committee considers its inclusion of budget amounts for OIBDA and FcF in setting performance goals and criteria to reflect the Company's core objective of pay for performance.

              As a result of the strong performance noted above in the 2013 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approved the bonuses for each of the named executive officers disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013, and the named executive officers earned shares underlying performance-based equity awards as discussed in the "Long-Term Incentive Programs" section, at levels reflecting the Company's performance. The bonus awards and further achievements during the 2013 fiscal year are discussed in more detail below in the "Bonus Awards" section.

Overview of Compensation Objectives

              CBS Corporation's compensation programs are designed to motivate and reward business success and to increase stockholder value. The Company's compensation programs are based on the following core objectives:

              In determining the Company's compensation policies and decisions, the Company has considered the results of the previous vote held on the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the 2011 proxy statement, relating to the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Since the

41


Table of Contents

results of the vote were favorable, the Compensation Committee has continued to base the Company's compensation programs on the above objectives.

Evaluating Senior Executive Compensation

              The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the Company's compensation arrangements with the senior executives. The Committee reviews all components of the senior executives' compensation, including base salary, annual and long-term incentives, severance arrangements and benefit programs to ensure that they adhere to the core objectives of the Company's compensation programs. The Committee utilizes a rolling 12-month calendar based on regularly-scheduled meeting dates that identifies the meeting date at which each senior executive requires Committee consideration regarding compensation and the type of action to be considered (i.e., salary increase, annual bonus payout, long-term incentive award determination, and other compensation actions). All final determinations relating to the compensation of the Executive Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer are made by the Committee in executive session, with advice from an independent compensation consultant (currently Exequity LLP). In assessing the compensation of the senior executives, the Committee considers many factors, including the performance of the Company's operations (with respect to corporate executives, the overall performance of the Company; with respect to operational executives, performance of the operations for which the executive is responsible), individual performance, experience, tenure and historical compensation, comparisons to other appropriate senior executives at identified peer companies and the advice of the Committee's independent compensation consultant. In considering any individual element of a senior executive's compensation, the Committee considers that element in relation to the individual executive's total compensation (i.e., base salary, bonus and long-term incentives).

              The Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant to advise the Committee in its review of senior executive compensation. The Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate the independent compensation consultant and to review and approve the firm's fees and other retention terms. The Committee adopted a policy in 2008 providing that the independent compensation consultant will not be considered as a provider of services to the Company, other than for services provided to the Compensation Committee. Accordingly, other than these services provided to the Committee, Exequity LLP does not perform any administrative or consulting services for the Company. The Committee has assessed the independence of Exequity and concurred that Exequity's work with the Committee does not raise any conflict of interest.

              In reviewing senior executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers data regarding the competitive market for senior executive talent. For 2013, at the Committee's request, Exequity reviewed and approved a competitive assessment on the compensation practices at companies with which the Company competes for senior executive talent. The assessment includes those companies engaged in similar business activities (i.e., industry peers) and, as a more general reference point, an index of total compensation packages at other applicable publicly-traded U.S. companies (general industry), all as described below. Not all of the companies included in these groups may be used as a point of comparison when reviewing a senior executive's total compensation. In determining which companies are appropriate comparisons for each senior executive, the scope of the executive's responsibility and the nature of the business for which he or she is responsible are considered. As a result, the appropriate companies selected for comparison may differ from one senior executive to the next. The competitive assessment focuses on applicable compensation packages at the 65th percentile of reliable market data, which includes an evaluation of base salary, target annual incentive opportunities (as such data is available), actual annual incentive earned, annualized expected value of long-term incentives, and the resulting total actual and target compensation. The competitive assessment also includes market data at the 65th percentile to reflect the Committee's commitment to competing with the Company's industry peers in recruiting and retaining the most sought-after

42


Table of Contents

executive talent. Although the Committee does not target total compensation amounts for each senior executive to a specific benchmark, the Committee does consider the compensation levels from the competitive assessment as one factor in determining these total compensation amounts for each senior executive.

              In 2013, the competitive assessment for the named executive officers (except as set forth below) included the compensation data of, with respect to the industry peer group, diversified media companies (i.e., 21st Century Fox, Time Warner Inc., Viacom Inc. and The Walt Disney Company) and other media peers (i.e., Comcast Corporation) and, with respect to the publicly traded companies included in the general industry index, companies from which the Company may source, or to which the Company may lose, executive talent (i.e., Amazon.com, Inc., AT&T Inc., Cablevision Systems Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (a non-public subsidiary of CC Media Holdings, Inc., a public company), The Coca-Cola Company, Comcast Corporation, Dell Inc., DirecTV, Gannett Co., Inc., General Electric Company, Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, International Business Machines Corporation, NBCUniversal, PepsiCo, Inc., Sprint Nextel Corporation, Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable, Verizon Communications Inc., Viacom Inc., and The Walt Disney Company). For Messrs. Redstone and Moonves, the Committee considers the compensation arrangements for similarly situated executive chairman and chief executive officer roles, respectively, at peer diversified media companies.

Changes in Named Executive Officers' Compensation Arrangements in 2013

              The Compensation Committee approved a new employment agreement for Mr. Ianniello, effective June 4, 2013. This new agreement supersedes his prior agreement, which was set to expire in 2013, and extends his employment with the Company through June 3, 2018 in the new role of Chief Operating Officer in recognition of his expanding operational responsibilities and impact on the strategic transformation of the Company. In considering the terms of the new agreement, the Committee sought to accomplish the following key objectives: (1) to increase the alignment between Mr. Ianniello's pay and the long-term performance of the Company; (2) to retain Mr. Ianniello for a period extending beyond his then-current contract term ending July 20, 2013 and ensure his continued interest in the short-term and long-term performance of the Company; and (3) to provide compensation arrangements reflective of competitive practices among industry peers and at other leading U.S. companies. The Compensation Committee reviewed alternatives for structuring the new employment agreement with its independent compensation consultant.

              In determining the compensation terms, the Committee considered compensation arrangements for executives with similar scopes of responsibility at industry peers and at other leading U.S. companies, as well as the core objectives set forth in the "Overview of Compensation Objectives" section above. The compensation assessment included an evaluation of annualized base salary, target bonus, annualized expected value of upfront and ongoing long-term incentives, and termination provisions. The Committee also reviewed compensation practices at other leading U.S. companies, including with respect to, for example, restrictive covenants and other terms. This assessment confirmed the Committee's approach in structuring a new pay package that would continue to strengthen the pay-for-performance linkage and shift the pay towards equity.

              Consistent with the key objectives noted above, the Compensation Committee determined to increase Mr. Ianniello's annual compensation package as follows: $2.5 million in base salary; bonus target at 300% of base salary; and a long-term incentive award target value of $7 million, which target total compensation was within the range of target total compensation for principal operating officers of industry peer companies and other leading U.S. companies. In addition, to provide additional compensation opportunity tied to the performance of the Company through equity awards, the new agreement provides for equity grants to be made, as discussed in the "Long-Term Incentive Programs" section and described in the "Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013—Employment

43


Table of Contents

Agreements—Joseph R. Ianniello" section. The new agreement provides additional termination payments in the event of a termination without cause or for good reason, as discussed in the "Potential Payments Upon Termination" section, or in certain circumstances following the expiration of the employment term. Mr. Ianniello's new employment agreement is filed as Exhibit 10(a) to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013.

              In order to secure the continued service of Mr. Ambrosio beyond the scheduled expiration of his employment agreement, the Compensation Committee approved a new employment agreement for Mr. Ambrosio, effective June 7, 2013. This new agreement supersedes his prior agreement, which expired on June 6, 2013, and extends his employment with the Company through June 6, 2017 in the new role of Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer in recognition of his expanded administrative responsibilities. In determining the compensation terms, the Committee considered the compensation arrangements for similar executives at peer media companies and the increase in his responsibilities, as well as the core objectives set forth in the "Overview of Compensation Objectives" section above. As a result, the Committee determined to increase his base salary to $875,000, increase his target bonus to 125% of base salary and increase his annual long-term incentive award target to $1.75 million. The new agreement provides additional termination payments in certain circumstances following the expiration of the employment term, as described in his new employment agreement. Mr. Ambrosio's new employment agreement is filed as Exhibit 10(b) to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013.

              During 2013, the Compensation Committee did not change the compensation arrangements set forth in the employment agreements for Messrs. Redstone, Moonves and Briskman. Mr. Briskman retired from the Company, effective December 31, 2013.

Elements of Executive Compensation

              Except as set forth under the "Long-Term Incentive Programs" section below, the Company's compensation arrangements with its senior executives, including the named executive officers, consist of the following elements:

              The Compensation Committee considers these elements in determining a senior executive's compensation package in order to reward for both the long- and short-term performance of the executive and the Company. The Committee does not use rigid guidelines in determining the mix of compensation elements (i.e., long-term versus currently paid out compensation and cash versus non-cash compensation) for each senior executive. However, the Committee does consider the level of base salary of each named executive officer as it relates to the allocation of guaranteed versus performance-based compensation. Variable, at-risk compensation makes up the majority of each senior executive's total compensation.

44


Table of Contents

              The Compensation Committee believes that its consideration of these compensation elements effectively achieves the objective of aligning compensation with performance measures that are directly related to the Company's financial goals and creation of stockholder value, without encouraging senior executives to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Company. The Committee selects the financial performance metrics, goals and criteria for the performance-based compensation programs each year and also approves adjustments to the calculation of those goals and criteria, including pre-approved adjustments for awards intended to satisfy Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), in order to avoid distorted performance goals and criteria. The Committee believes this process results in performance goals and criteria that are challenging, yet realistic, and that will not encourage senior executives to engage in risky business activities in order to achieve unattainable goals or overcome lower results caused by unforeseen events.

Base Salary

              The Company provides the senior executives with base salary that is sufficiently competitive to attract and retain talented individuals and provides a secure base of guaranteed cash to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. In order to ensure that the majority of compensation is variable, at-risk and tied to performance, the Compensation Committee set base salary levels for the named executive officers between 9% and 26% of targeted total compensation for 2013. When reviewing proposals for changes to base salary for the named executive officers, the Committee considers the following:

              In reviewing base salary during 2013 for the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee continued to consider their level of base salary as it relates to the allocation of guaranteed versus variable, at-risk compensation, as well as the factors listed above. As a result, Messrs. Redstone, Moonves and Briskman did not receive base salary increases during 2013. Mr. Ianniello received an increase in base salary in connection with his execution of a new employment agreement and promotion to the role of Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Ambrosio also received an increase in base salary in connection with his execution of a new employment agreement and expanded administrative responsibilities.

Performance-Based Compensation Programs

              CBS's performance-based compensation programs provide for the opportunity to reward senior executives for contributing to annual financial and operational performance (through annual bonus programs) and for realizing stock price appreciation (through long-term equity incentives). Bonus awards are based on the Compensation Committee's review of the Company's financial results and qualitative assessment of senior executive performance against key strategic objectives and are not directly linked to the Company's stock price performance. A high percentage of the named executive officers' total compensation is performance-based (targeted at 74% – 91% of total compensation for 2013).

45


Table of Contents

Bonus Awards

              The Company provides an opportunity for annual bonus awards under its short-term incentive program ("Bonus Program"). The purpose of the Bonus Program is to benefit and advance the interests of the Company by granting annual bonus awards to the named executive officers and other senior executives as "pay for performance"—a reward for their individual contributions to the Company's annual financial and operational success.

              At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves funding levels that can be earned for that year for the Bonus Program. These funding levels are based on financial performance goals set by the Committee that are derived from budget determinations for the relevant year that take into account expected financial performance of the Company's industry peers for that year, as well as on expected performance against the key strategic objectives identified below. After the end of the fiscal year, the Committee evaluates the Company's actual performance relative to the funding levels in order to determine the aggregate amount available for payouts under the Bonus Program.

              In January 2014, the Committee evaluated the Company's actual financial performance for 2013, including the levels of achievement against the pre-established performance goals, and management's performance in 2013 against the strategic objectives, relative to the funding levels approved at the beginning of 2013, in order to determine the aggregate amount available for bonus payouts. The aggregate amount of awards provided to the named executive officers, as well as to the other participants in the Bonus Program, is limited by the funding pool resulting from the Committee's evaluation.

              As part of the Bonus Program, the named executive officers and certain other senior executives participate in the Company's Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "Senior Executive STIP"), which is a shareholder approved plan that provides for deductibility of amounts paid pursuant to the plan. Under the Senior Executive STIP, awards may be paid, in whole or in part, in cash, in the form of stock-based awards issued under the Company's long-term incentive plan or in any other form prescribed by the Committee.

              At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee sets a performance criterion under the Senior Executive STIP, as a first step toward qualifying bonus awards made under the Senior Executive STIP as "qualified performance-based compensation" eligible for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code. Assuming that the Committee determines that the criterion is met, the terms of the Senior Executive STIP establish for each of the named executive officers a maximum bonus that may be paid under the plan, subject to the Committee's negative discretion ("downward discretion"), for deductibility purposes. See the "Compensation Deductibility Policy" section below for a discussion of the Section 162(m) performance criterion set for 2013. The Committee may approve bonus compensation in excess of amounts paid under the Senior Executive STIP, in order to provide appropriate compensation, which excess amounts may not be deductible. In any exercise of its downward discretion under the Senior Executive STIP, the Committee takes into account certain terms in Mr. Moonves' employment agreement which provide that a portion of his bonus must be, at least, an amount consistent with the level of achievement attained against a "Company-Wide performance goal(s)" established for that year by the Committee (provided such achievement level is at least 80%), as described under "Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013—Employment Agreements—Leslie Moonves."

              The Compensation Committee considers individual performance factors in determining bonus payouts for the senior executives. In addition to reviewing each executive's contributions to the achievement of financial goals, for 2013, the Committee also considered the following key strategic objectives: (i) strengthening the Company's financial position; (ii) providing continuous flow of top-tier content; (iii) continuing to drive growth through strategic transformation of the Company;

46


Table of Contents

(iv) maintaining and building the Company's reputation as one of the most desirable organizations for top "talent"; (v) continuing to ensure a high degree of focus on the importance of a diverse workforce; and (vi) positioning the Company for long-term success. In this regard, the Committee also considers the input and recommendations of Mr. Moonves as President, Chief Executive Officer (for executives other than himself and Mr. Redstone). With respect to Messrs. Redstone and Moonves, the Committee takes into account the performance evaluation of each of them conducted by the Committee, along with the Nominating and Governance Committee, based on the goals and objectives for each of them approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year. The Committee's determination regarding the amount of the annual bonus awards to be paid to the named executive officers takes into account all of the factors it deems appropriate, with no pre-determined emphasis on any individual item, and utilizes discretion to award an appropriate bonus.

              The Compensation Committee also considers target bonus amounts for each named executive officer, which amounts are based on competitive practice. See "Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013—Employment Agreements" for a discussion of the named executive officers' target bonus amounts. The differences in the target bonus amounts set forth in the named executive officers' agreements reflect the level of relative impact of each of their positions on Company performance.

              In determining the bonus amounts for 2013 for the named executive officers, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013, the Compensation Committee took into account their leadership and execution with respect to the key strategic objectives identified above. As a result of this leadership and execution, the Company exceeded its own financial objectives and outperformed its diversified media peers across certain key industry benchmarks, while also being positioned by management for long-term success. The Committee noted the following accomplishments within this context:

The Company Exceeded its 2013 Internal Budget Objectives for OIBDA and FcF and Continued to Strengthen its Financial Position Relative to its Diversified Media Peers.

In addition, during 2014, as part of Mr. Moonves' bonus for 2013, the Compensation Committee awarded to Mr. Moonves a grant of shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock having a value of $3.5 million. This award will be reportable in the Company's 2015 proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules.

Long-Term Incentive Programs

Long-Term "Management" Incentive Program (LTMIP)

              The LTMIP is designed as a "pay for performance" vehicle to encourage executives to make decisions which will create and sustain long-term value for stockholders. It is also a vehicle used to retain talent and build executive ownership. Through the Company's total compensation design, a significant portion of the total compensation opportunity for the named executive officers (other than Mr. Redstone) is directly linked to stock price performance (with equity awards targeted at 43%-61% of total compensation for 2013), with the intention of creating alignment with the stockholders. Mr. Redstone did not participate in the LTMIP for 2013.

              In determining the target value to be delivered through these equity vehicles, the Compensation Committee reviews competitive market data, the Company's retention needs, potential stockholder dilution, the expense to be incurred by the Company and prior equity grant practices. Eligibility to participate in the LTMIP is generally limited to executives who have management responsibility.

              The type and mix of equity-based vehicles used to deliver value varies primarily by an executive's level in the organization and the Company's business needs. The Compensation Committee considers the following objectives in determining the appropriate type and mix of equity-based vehicles:

              The values, mix, and type of annual grants for senior executives are discussed by management and the Compensation Committee and ultimately approved by the Committee, unless the terms have been previously approved and set forth in an employment agreement. In determining the value, mix and type of awards, the Committee takes into consideration the objectives to allocating award types noted above and the competitive assessment of total compensation reviewed by the independent compensation consultant (as discussed in the "Evaluating Senior Executive Compensation" section above) and also reviews the LTMIP with its independent compensation consultant and senior management. For 2013, Messrs. Ianniello, Briskman and Ambrosio received LTMIP awards, based on their current contractual target values that took into account the compensation assessment and the relative impact of the executive's position on Company performance, of which 40% was delivered in stock options, 30% in performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs"), and 30% in time-based restricted stock units ("TRSUs" and together with the PRSUs, the "RSUs"). In addition, in connection with the extension of Mr. Ianniello's employment arrangements in June 2013 and in recognition of his promotion to the role of Chief Operating Officer of the Company, Mr. Ianniello received during 2013 a

52

stock option award having a grant date value of $6.5 million and a TRSU award having a grant date value of $1.5 million.

              For Mr. Moonves, his annual grant of restricted share units for 2013, which was comprised of 50% PRSUs and 50% TRSUs, was awarded in accordance with the terms set forth in his former employment agreement in effect during the annual LTMIP award cycle. Also, as provided for in that agreement, the Committee used its discretion to grant to him 500,000 stock options, during the annual LTMIP award cycle, to reward his success in creating significant shareholder value and to motivate him to continue these efforts. In addition, during 2013, as part of Mr. Moonves' bonus for 2012, the Compensation Committee granted to Mr. Moonves shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock having a value of $2.5 million. In connection with the extension of his employment arrangements in October 2012 to retain his future services for the Company, Mr. Moonves was granted a TRSU award during 2013 having a grant date value of $14.5 million. (See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2013 table.)

Performance Goals for LTMIP Awards

              PRSU Awards for 2013. The performance goals are set based on financial and operational goals for the relevant fiscal year, which take into account expected performance of the Company's industry peers for that year as determined by media industry analysts. At the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee reviews performance goals and considers which metrics offer the best measure of Company performance. In setting the performance goals for 2013, which exceeded those of the previous year, the Committee took into account the performance goals from the previous year and sought to establish performance goals that were meaningful and challenging and designed to motivate performance, without encouraging senior executives to engage in risky business activities in order to achieve unattainable goals.

              For 2013, the performance goal for the most senior levels of management, including the named executive officers (except for Mr. Redstone who does not receive PRSUs and except for PRSUs granted to Mr. Moonves pursuant to his employment agreement), was the achievement during 2013 of an 80% or greater level of the weighted average performance of (i) the percentage of an OIBDA Metric Target (as defined below) of $3.610 billion actually achieved (75% weighting) and (ii) the percentage of an FCF Metric Target (as defined below) of $1.684 billion actually achieved (25% weighting). The performance goal for Mr. Moonves' PRSU grant was the achievement during 2013 of an FCF Metric Target of $1.684 billion.

              In setting the 2013 performance goals, the Compensation Committee selected two metrics: (i) OIBDA (i.e., operating income before depreciation and amortization) (the "OIBDA metric") and (ii) free cash flow (i.e., operating income before depreciation and amortization, less cash interest, taxes paid, working capital requirements and capital expenditures) (the "FCF metric"). The "OIBDA Metric Target" is calculated by starting with the Company's budget for 2013 for the OIBDA metric and then taking into account items approved by the Committee that may otherwise distort the calculation of the performance goal, and the "FCF Metric Target" is calculated by starting with the Company's budget for 2013 for the FCF metric and then taking into account the same items. The OIBDA metric was selected because it is an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its businesses, as it provides a link between profitability and operating cash flow. The FCF metric was selected because it gives a clear view of the Company's ability to generate cash (and thus profits), which allows the Company to pursue opportunities that enhance stockholder value.

              The vesting of an annual award of PRSUs is subject to the Compensation Committee's determination of the level of achievement against a pre-determined performance goal set by the Committee. See "Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2013—Description of Plan-Based Awards" for

vesting schedules. The number of target shares is determined at the time of grant based on the closing price of a share of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of grant (February 12, 2013). The number of shares earned upon vesting of the PRSUs is determined in accordance with the following schedule:

              For achievement at intermediate points between 80% and 100% and between 100% and 120%, the number of shares to be delivered will be linearly interpolated. Dividend equivalents accrue on the target number of shares and equal the value of regular cash dividends paid on the shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock. Dividend equivalents are paid in cash, less applicable withholdings, when the PRSUs vest, but only up to the amount payable with respect to the target number of shares. If the PRSUs do not vest, then the dividend equivalents accrued on those PRSUs are forfeited.

              Payout Under PRSU Awards for 2013. In February 2014, the Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed the Company's performance versus the 2013 performance goals. The Committee then certified that the 2013 performance goals had been exceeded. Actual performance with respect to the OIBDA metric was $3.716 billion and with respect to the FCF metric was $1.774 billion. Thus 105.3% and 120% of the target number of shares underlying the PRSUs granted in February 2013 to Mr. Moonves and to Messrs. Ianniello, Briskman and Ambrosio, respectively, will vest in accordance with their respective schedules.

              Payout Under PSU Award for Measurement Period 2011-2013. In February 2014, the Compensation Committee reviewed achievement of the performance thresholds for the measurement period that ran from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013 with respect to the PSU award granted in 2011 to Mr. Redstone, and confirmed that of the established thresholds, the Company's achievement of the 98.9 percentile TSR during the 2011-2013 measurement period was the applicable threshold to determine the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be delivered for the performance period. As a result, on February 20, 2014, 295.6% of the target number of shares relating to his 2011 award vested.

Grant Date of Awards

              The grant date for equity awards is the date on which the Compensation Committee approves awards under the Company's LTMIP or, if so determined by the Committee, a future grant date, or a date specified in an employment agreement. The Committee may approve an award that will have a future grant date, with the exercise price of any stock option not to be less than the closing price of a share of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. The Company does not set grant dates intentionally to precede the release of material non-public information. Communications regarding individual grant awards, including the terms and conditions, are provided to recipients as soon as administratively feasible. Annual management grants made in 2013 were approved on February 12, 2013, with a grant date of the same date. The exercise price of stock options granted on February 12, 2013 was the closing price of the Company's Class B Common Stock on that date (i.e.,

54

$43.21). Mr. Moonves' annual RSU award for 2013, with a grant date of February 12, 2013, was approved under his then-current employment agreement, which was approved on October 10, 2012.

Other Terms for RSUs/Stock Options/PSUs

              For a description of certain other material terms of the RSU, stock option and PSU grants, see "Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2013—Description of Plan-Based Awards."

Delegation of Authority With Respect to Awards

              The Compensation Committee has delegated to the President and Chief Executive Officer limited authority, with respect to executives who are not senior executives, to grant long-term incentive awards under the Company's long-term incentive plan to such executives in connection with their hiring, promotion or contract renewal and to modify the terms of outstanding equity grants in certain post-termination scenarios. The Committee delegated this authority in order for the Company to have the ability to (i) act in a timely manner in a competitive environment in connection with the hiring of new executives or the compensating of an existing executive being given a significant increase in responsibility and (ii) maintain flexibility to manage compensation in post-termination scenarios when mutually beneficial to the Company and the executive. The Committee's delegation specifies the circumstances in which the authority can be used; limits the amount that can be awarded to an individual, the total amount that can be awarded in any period, and, in certain circumstances, aggregate incremental expense that can be incurred by the Company resulting from modifications of the terms of outstanding equity grants; and specifies the method for establishing the grant date. The delegation also requires that the President and Chief Executive Officer report to the Committee periodically on his exercise of this delegated authority.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

              In order to further align the senior executives' interests with those of the Company's stockholders, the Company has established stock ownership guidelines. The guidelines provide that, within five years, starting in fiscal year 2007 or, if later, in the year in which a senior executive becomes subject to the guidelines, these senior executives are expected to acquire and establish holdings in Company stock equal in value to a multiple of their cash base (base salary less mandatory deferrals, if applicable), depending upon their positions as follows:

 
  Senior Executive
   
  Ownership Guideline Multiple
   

 

 

CEO

      5x cash base    

 

 

Other Senior Executives

      2x to 3x cash base    

              All types of equity holdings, with the exception of stock options, are included in determining ownership. The Compensation Committee monitors compliance with these guidelines by receiving an annual progress report from senior management. During 2013, senior management reported to the Committee that all of the senior executives subject to the guidelines, including the named executive officers, met the guidelines. The Committee determined to continue to monitor compliance with the guidelines.

Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans

              The Company provides active, eligible employees, including the named executive officers, with the opportunity to build financial resources for retirement through the Company's broad-based tax-qualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans. In addition, eligible executives, including the named executive officers, participate in the Company's nonqualified defined benefit and deferred compensation plans. In some instances, participants in these qualified and nonqualified plans may also

55


Table of Contents

have frozen benefits in other qualified and nonqualified plans. Information regarding these retirement and deferred compensation plans is set forth in the narrative following each of the Pension Benefits in 2013 tables and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2013 table.

All Other Compensation

              The Company provides for other compensation to participating employees (including the named executive officers) by providing Company-matching contributions in the CBS 401(k) and 401(k) excess plans and Company-paid life insurance. Compensation paid to the named executive officers in relation to these programs is included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013.

              In certain instances, the Company provides executives, including the named executive officers, with additional benefits that the Company believes are reasonable and typical for executives in similar industries and helps the Company to attract and retain these executives. Among these benefits are transportation-related benefits, which the Company believes provide travel flexibility and efficiencies that result in a more productive use of the executive's time, given the demands of his position. In addition, the Company provided security services to Mr. Moonves, at the Company's request, due to the significance of the chief executive to the Company and the security issues that surround a senior executive in Mr. Moonves' position, representing a high-profile company with multinational interests. Mr. Moonves' 2012 employment agreement eliminated a provision whereby he was eligible for reimbursement for additional taxes and fees resulting from his provision of services in both New York and Los Angeles. During 2013, no such reimbursements were made with respect to previous calendar years. The Company also requires that certain East Coast-based named executive officers provide extended services at the Company's West Coast operations, for which the Company provides an expense allowance; executives are reimbursed for taxes on imputed income associated with certain expenses. All additional benefits are also described in footnote 7 to the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013.

Post-Termination Arrangements

              Post-termination payments with respect to the named executive officers are set forth in each of their respective employment agreements. Each of the named executive officers is entitled to post-termination payments and benefits upon the occurrence of a termination without cause or a resignation for good reason (except for Mr. Redstone) and upon death or disability. The employment agreements for Messrs. Ianniello, Briskman and Ambrosio also provide enhanced severance payments and benefits in the event of a termination within twenty-four months following certain corporate events. None of the Company's employment arrangements with the named executive officers or long-term incentive plans provide for payment solely upon a change in control. The new employment agreements for Messrs. Ianniello and Ambrosio provide for, as consideration for the extension of their employment arrangements, additional post-termination payments and benefits in certain instances of termination of employment that were not included in their prior employment agreements.

              The terms of these payments and benefits, and the estimated potential payments that would be made to each named executive officer if his employment terminated as of the 2013 fiscal year end for the applicable reasons noted above are described under "Potential Payments Upon Termination." In assessing post-termination payments and benefits in connection with senior executive employment arrangements, the Compensation Committee considers competitive practice with respect to comparable executives at media peers as well as prevailing practice and trends with respect to other public companies that are relevant in terms of size and complexity. The objective of these payments and benefits is to recruit and retain talent in a competitive market and, as applicable, compensate executives for restrictive covenants and other obligations following a termination without cause or a resignation for good reason.

Compensation Deductibility Policy

              In approving compensation, the Compensation Committee takes into account Section 162(m) of the Code, which generally limits to $1 million the federal tax deductibility of some forms of compensation paid in one year to the chief executive officer and the three most highly compensated executive officers employed by the Company at the end of the year (other than the Company's chief financial officer). However, the Compensation Committee has approved, and may continue to approve, compensation exceeding the $1 million limitation, including with respect to a portion of base salary and long-term incentives, and exceeding the maximum bonus amount provided for under the Senior Executive STIP, in order to provide appropriate compensation. As part of the Bonus Program, the named executive officers are eligible to receive bonus awards under the Senior Executive STIP, and the senior executives (including the named executive officers) are eligible to receive long-term compensation under the Company's long-term incentive plan. Performance-based compensation may qualify for an exception to the limit on deductibility, provided that the plan under which such compensation is paid meets certain requirements, including stockholder approval. Each of the Senior Executive STIP and the Company's long-term incentive plan is designed to permit awards that comply with the Section 162(m) exception for performance-based compensation. The stockholders of the Company have approved both of these plans.

              In order for bonus awards made under the Senior Executive STIP to be eligible for deductibility under Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee establishes a performance criterion for the bonus awards, which criterion must not be certain of being achieved at the time it is set. In setting the performance criterion for 2013, which exceeded that of the previous year, the Committee took into account the performance criterion from the previous year and sought to establish a performance criterion that was meaningful and challenging and designed to motivate performance, without encouraging senior executives to engage in risky business activities in order to achieve unattainable goals.

              For 2013, the Section 162(m) performance criterion established was the achievement during 2013 of an 80% or greater level of the weighted average performance of (i) the percentage of an OIBDA Metric Target of $3.610 billion actually achieved (75% weighting) and (ii) the percentage of an FCF Metric Target of $1.684 billion actually achieved (25% weighting). The "OIBDA Metric Target" is calculated by starting with the Company's budget for 2013 for the OIBDA metric and then taking into account items approved by the Committee that may otherwise distort the calculation of the performance criterion, and the "FCF Metric Target" is calculated by starting with the Company's budget for 2013 for the FCF metric and then taking into account the same items.

              Assuming that the Compensation Committee determines that the performance criterion has been achieved, the terms of the Senior Executive STIP establish a maximum bonus for each named executive officer that can be awarded under the Senior Executive STIP equal to eight times his base salary in effect at the beginning of the year, with the amount of the bonus, if any, actually awarded to any named executive officer under the Senior Executive STIP being subject to the Committee's downward discretion, as discussed under the "Performance-Based Compensation Programs—Bonus Awards" section above. This framework for establishing a maximum bonus is designed to provide that the awards granted under the Senior Executive STIP will be eligible for deductibility under Section 162(m).

              In January 2014, the Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed the Company's performance versus the 2013 performance criterion. Actual performance with respect to the OIBDA metric was $3.716 billion and with respect to the FCF metric was $1.774 billion. The Committee then certified that the 2013 performance criterion had been exceeded with actual performance exceeding the targeted level. Therefore, the Committee awarded bonuses to the named executive officers under the

57


Table of Contents

Senior Executive STIP, except for the shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock and a portion of the cash award, in each case which were awarded to Mr. Moonves as part of his bonus.

              With respect to the Company's long-term incentive plan, the Compensation Committee also establishes performance goals for PRSUs and PSUs, rendering them eligible for deductibility under Section 162(m), as described in the "Long-Term Incentive Programs—Performance Goals for LTMIP Awards" section above.

Employment Contracts

              All of the named executive officers are, and were during 2013, parties to employment contracts with the Company, as the Compensation Committee has considered it to be in the Company's best interest, and as the best means, to secure the employment of each of these executives. The terms and provisions of these contracts are more fully described in the narrative section following the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013 and in "Changes in Named Executive Officers' Compensation Arrangements for 2013" in this "Compensation Discussion and Analysis."

              The Compensation Committee approves all employment arrangements with senior executives. With respect to employees other than senior executives, employment contracts are subject to an approval process coordinated through the Office of the Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer.

(2)
Salary includes amounts deferred under qualified and nonqualified arrangements. For 2013, all named executive officers, except for Mr. Redstone, deferred a portion of their salary under qualified and nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. See the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2013 table for further information on amounts deferred under nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements.

(3)
With respect to all named executive officers, amounts set forth in the "Bonus" column for 2013, 2012 and 2011 reflect cash payments made in early 2014 for fiscal year 2013 performance, early 2013 for fiscal year 2012 performance, and early 2012 for fiscal year 2011 performance, respectively.


With respect to Mr. Moonves' 2013 bonus, the Compensation Committee awarded to Mr. Moonves a total cash bonus amount which reflects a $20,000,000 payment for the successes in his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a special cash payment of $8,500,000 for his leadership in connection with the creation of premium content across the Company's portfolio of businesses, particularly with respect to the CBS Television Network, which outperformed its media peers again in 2013. During 2014, the Compensation Committee determined to grant Mr. Moonves, as part of his bonus, a $3.5 million grant of shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock. This award will be reportable in the Company's 2015 proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules.

(4)
These amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair values determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of grants of (i) restricted share units ("RSUs"), (ii) performance share units ("PSUs"), and (iii) shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock ("Share Award"), as applicable, for each executive. In 2013, the Company did not grant any PSU awards. In 2013, only Mr. Moonves was granted a Share Award, with a value of $2.5 million, as part of his bonus for 2012. For the performance-based RSUs granted in 2013 to Messrs. Moonves, Ianniello, Briskman and Ambrosio (representing, of the aggregate grant date values included in column (e), $4,749,989 for Mr. Moonves, $1,199,985 for Mr. Ianniello and 50% of the awards for Messrs. Briskman and Ambrosio), the maximum grant date value, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, would be $5,700,004, $1,440,016, $1,079,991 and $539,995, respectively. For a discussion of the assumptions made in calculating the grant date fair value amounts for 2013, see "RSUs and PSUs" in Note 11 to the audited 2013 consolidated financial statements on pages II-63-II-64 in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

(5)
These amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair values determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For a discussion of the assumptions made in calculating the grant date fair value amounts for 2013, see "Stock Options and Equivalents" in Note 11 to the audited 2013 consolidated financial statements on pages II-64- II-66 in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.


For Mr. Moonves, the 2013 amount represents a grant of 500,000 stock options awarded by the Compensation Committee, using its discretion to grant stock options during the annual LTMIP award cycle to Mr. Moonves under his employment agreement.

(6)
Amounts in column (g) relate to changes in pension value only, as none of the Company's nonqualified deferred compensation plans provide for above-market interest or preferential earnings, except for Mr. Redstone (as noted below). For 2013, Mr. Briskman's amount also includes the distributions he received under qualified and nonqualified pension plans pursuant to which he has an accumulated benefit, but was not accruing benefits during 2013. For Messrs. Redstone, Ianniello and Ambrosio, the 2013 changes in their respective pension values, including net of minimum required distributions Mr. Redstone received in 2013 under qualified pension plans, were negative (-$5,119.27, -$59,913 and -$13,536, respectively) and are not included in the table in accordance with SEC rules. See "Pension Benefits in 2013" for further information on these plans.


Pursuant to Mr. Redstone's amended employment agreement, effective March 16, 2007, the approximate $10 million balance of his vested deferred salary compensation account (the "Deferred Compensation Balance") was converted to stock option equivalents ("SOEs") of equal value. For purposes of this table, the Company considers an increase in the intrinsic value of the SOEs (i.e., the extent to which the market price of the stock underlying an SOE is above its exercise price at a given point in time) as preferential. The intrinsic value of the SOEs increased from $13,861,865 as of December 31, 2012 to $59,284,276 as of December 31, 2013, and the amount in column (g) for Mr. Redstone for 2013 reflects this change. At December 31, 2013, this intrinsic value exceeded the Deferred Compensation Balance by $48,949,739. See "Employment Agreements—Sumner M. Redstone" for further information on the SOEs. Information about each nonqualified deferred compensation plan is included in the "Description of Nonqualified Deferred Compensation" section.

(a)
Represents premiums paid in 2013 by the Company for life insurance coverage.

(b)
With respect to Mr. Moonves, no tax reimbursements were made in 2013. For Messrs. Ianniello, Briskman and Ambrosio, amounts include tax reimbursement on imputed income associated with the West Coast Expense (defined below).

(c)
The Company requires that certain East Coast-based senior executives provide extended services at the Company's West Coast operations, for which the Company provides an estimated expense allowance. The amounts shown in this column represent certain other costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing these services ("West Coast Expense").

(d)
The amounts of perquisites and other personal benefits shown in this column include (i) for Messrs. Redstone and Moonves, the percentage of personal use of a car and driver provided for business-related security reasons, and (ii) for Mr. Moonves, the incremental cost to the Company of the personal use of the Company aircraft. The incremental cost to the Company of the personal use of the Company aircraft is calculated by dividing the total variable costs (including fuel, unscheduled maintenance, landing and navigation fees, catering, flight crew trip expenses, telecommunications, supplies and miscellaneous expenses) by the total flight hours for such year and multiplying such amount by the executive's total number of flight hours for his personal use for the year (including flights made to reposition the plane in connection with such personal use). Fixed costs which do not change based on usage, such as pilot salaries, hangar rental and insurance are excluded.

(e)
The amount represents the cost to the Company for the provision of a Company-specified level of regular security coverage (i.e., exclusive of cost for any extraordinary incident coverage) deemed necessary to protect CBS's business interests. Although the security is directed by and provided at the request of the Company for business purposes, the cost is being reported as a perquisite.

(f)
The "Total" amount also includes for Mr. Moonves (i) matching charitable contributions made by the Company on his behalf, in his capacity as a director, under the directors' matching gift program ($7,500); and (ii) automobile insurance provided by the Company ($1,150).


From time to time, tickets to sporting and other entertainment events are provided to certain employees, including the named executive officers, without charge, to attend these events as they relate to a business purpose. Tickets are made available to employees, including the named executive officers, for personal use if the tickets are not otherwise needed for business use. The Company does not incur incremental costs with respect to tickets to sporting and other entertainment events, as the tickets were purchased by the Company for business purposes and are made available if the tickets are not utilized for such purposes.
(8)
Mr. Briskman retired from the Company effective December 31, 2013.

Employment Agreements

              All of the named executive officers have employment agreements that set forth the terms and conditions of their employment with the Company. The material terms of each of these agreements necessary to an understanding of the information provided in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013 and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2013 table are provided below. For the vesting terms of long-term compensation awards granted to the named executive officers during 2013, see "Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2013—Description of Plan-Based Awards." See "Potential Payments Upon Termination" for a description of the payments and benefits that would be provided to the named executive officers in connection with a termination of their employment, including enhanced severance payments and benefits available to certain named executive officers in connection with a termination of their employment following specified corporate events.

Sumner M. Redstone

              Effective March 13, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to Mr. Redstone's December 2005 employment agreement, pursuant to which he serves as Executive Chairman and Founder of CBS Corporation. Under the amended agreement, Mr. Redstone received a base salary of $1.75 million during 2013. His target bonus was $5 million for 2013. His salary and target bonus are subject to review on at least an annual basis and may be increased at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Redstone is provided with $2.5 million of life insurance during his employment with the Company.

              Pursuant to the amended agreement, Mr. Redstone received in 2007 through 2011, an annual award of stock options for shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock having a value of $3 million. Also pursuant to the amended agreement, Mr. Redstone received in 2007 through 2011 an annual award of PSUs, with a target value of $3 million. Payouts under the PSUs range from zero to a maximum of 300% of the target number of shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock for the award. In 2012, Mr. Redstone was awarded PSUs having a target value of $3 million, on terms consistent with those granted in prior years. No PSUs were awarded in 2013. The Committee may make additional awards to Mr. Redstone in future years.

              In addition to the above, effective as of March 16, 2007, the approximate $10 million balance of Mr. Redstone's vested deferred compensation account was converted into appreciation rights ("Stock Option Equivalents" or "SOEs") with the same fair value on the conversion date. The Stock Option Equivalents have an exercise price equal to the closing price of a share of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the date of conversion, vest ratably over a four-year period and have a term of eight years. Accordingly, Mr. Redstone will only realize value on such Stock Option Equivalents to the extent the price of a share of the Company's Class B Common Stock is higher, at the time the Stock Option Equivalents are exercised, than the exercise price.

Leslie Moonves

              On October 15, 2012, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Moonves, which superseded his prior employment agreement and extended the term of his employment through June 30, 2017. The agreement continues to provide for an annual base salary of $3.5 million and a target bonus of $12 million, both subject to an annual review and increase at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Also continuing from his prior agreement, a portion of the bonus amount payable to Mr. Moonves, if any, is subject to a payment schedule based on levels of achievement (ranging from 80% to 120%) of a "Company-wide" performance goal established by the Compensation Committee, which goal will be the same as the performance criterion under the Senior Executive STIP. The payment schedule provides that an 80% level of achievement against this goal will result in a payment of at least 80% of 85% of the target bonus amount set forth in his employment agreement; a 100% level of achievement will result in a payment of at least 85% of the target amount; and a 120% or greater level of achievement will result in a payment of at least 120% of 85% of the target amount.

              Mr. Moonves' agreement provides for an annual RSU award through 2017. In connection with a competitive review of Mr. Moonves' annual target compensation package as provided in his employment agreement, which took into account Mr. Moonves' 2013 performance as described under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Performance-Based Compensation Programs—Bonus Awards," in February 2014 the Committee determined to increase the value of Mr. Moonves' target annual RSU award above the value for 2013 noted below, resulting in a RSU grant of $11 million beginning with his 2014 RSU award, with each subsequent award having a grant date value that is $1.5 million higher than the prior year's award (except for the 2017 RSU award, the value of which will be prorated by 50% to reflect the agreement's scheduled expiration on June 30, 2017). In addition, the

63


Table of Contents

Committee determined that the performance goal applicable to one-half of Mr. Moonves' 2014 RSU award will be the same as that set for the other named executive officers. On February 12, 2013, as part of the annual LTMIP award cycle, Mr. Moonves received (i) an annual RSU award with a grant date value of $9.5 million, which was $500,000 higher than the prior year's award, (ii) an RSU grant having a grant date value of $14.5 million, which the Compensation Committee approved in connection with the extension of the term of his employment through June 30, 2017, and (iii) pursuant to the Committee's use of discretion under the agreement, a grant of 500,000 stock options. The Compensation Committee may make additional awards to Mr. Moonves in future years.

              The agreement contains restrictive covenants imposing non-competition obligations, restricting solicitation of employees, and protecting confidential information and the Company's ownership of work product and requiring cooperation in litigation, as well as other covenants, during Mr. Moonves' employment and for specified periods after the termination of employment.

              Mr. Moonves reports to the Board and to Mr. Redstone, and Mr. Moonves is nominated annually for election to the Board and agrees to serve as a member of the Board for each period for which he is so elected. Under the agreement, Mr. Moonves performs services in New York as well as in Los Angeles. In accordance with the terms of his agreement, which entitles him to life insurance up to a maximum annual cost of $150,000 per year, Mr. Moonves was provided with $16 million of life insurance during 2013.

Joseph R. Ianniello

              On June 4, 2013, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Ianniello, which superseded his prior employment agreement and provides for his continued employment with the Company as its Chief Operating Officer through June 3, 2018. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $2.5 million, which may be reviewed and increased at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Under the new agreement, Mr. Ianniello's annual target bonus is 300% of his base salary as in effect on November 1st of such year, and Mr. Ianniello is eligible to receive annual grants of long-term compensation, as determined by the Company's Compensation Committee, based on a target value of $7 million, commencing in 2014. In connection with the extension of the term of his employment through June 3, 2018 and his new role as Chief Operating Officer, the Compensation Committee approved (i) an RSU grant made on June 4, 2013 having a grant date value of $1.5 million, (ii) a grant of stock options made on June 10, 2013 having a grant date value of $6.5 million, (iii) an RSU grant made on February 20, 2014 having a grant date value of $4 million and (iv) a grant of stock options made on February 20, 2014 having a grant date value of $4 million. The Compensation Committee also approved an RSU grant to be made in each of 2015 and 2016 when other senior executives of the Company receive their annual LTMIP grants (generally in February), with the number of RSUs subject to each such grant determined by dividing $7 million by the closing price of the Company's Class B Common Stock on June 4, 2013.

              Mr. Ianniello's employment agreement contains restrictive covenants imposing non-competition obligations, restricting solicitation of employees, protecting the Company's confidential information and its ownership of work product and requiring cooperation in litigation, as well as other covenants, during his employment and for specified periods after the termination of employment. The agreement also provides for enhanced severance payments and benefits in the event his employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by him for good reason, in either case in connection with specified corporate events.

Louis J. Briskman

              Effective October 1, 2011, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Briskman, who, prior to his retirement on December 31, 2013, served as Senior Executive Vice

The agreement provided for an annual base salary of $1,300,000 and an annual target bonus of 200% of his base salary as in effect on November 1st of such year, and Mr. Briskman was eligible to receive annual grants of long-term compensation, as determined by the Company's Compensation Committee, based on a target value of $3 million, commencing in 2012.

              Mr. Briskman's employment agreement contained restrictive covenants imposing non-competition obligations, restricting solicitation of employees, protecting the Company's confidential information and its ownership of work product and requiring cooperation in litigation, as well as other covenants, during his employment and for specified periods after the termination of employment. The agreement also provided for enhanced severance payments and benefits in the event his employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by him for good reason, in either case in connection with specified corporate events. Mr. Briskman's employment agreement provided that he would continue to receive supplemental pension payments pursuant to an agreement dated March 2, 1999, as amended on May 3, 2000, with the former CBS Corporation. See the footnotes and narrative accompanying the Pension Benefits in 2013 tables for information on his supplemental pension payments.

Anthony G. Ambrosio

              Effective June 7, 2013, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Ambrosio, which superseded his prior employment agreement and provides for his continued employment with the Company as its Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer through June 6, 2017. The new agreement provides for an annual base salary of $875,000, which may be reviewed and increased at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and an annual target bonus equal to 125% of his salary as in effect on November 1st of such year. Mr. Ambrosio is also eligible to receive annual grants of long-term compensation, as determined by the Company's Compensation Committee, based on a target value of $1.75 million.

(1)
The "Committee Action Date" refers to the date on which the Compensation Committee approved the grants reported in the table. With respect to Mr. Moonves' performance-based and time-based RSU awards granted on February 12, 2013, and Mr. Ianniello's awards granted on June 4, 2013 and June 10, 2013, the "Committee Action Date" refers to the date on which the Compensation Committee approved the terms of their respective employment agreement which provided for the grants.

(2)
The exercise price of the options is the closing price of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the date of grant.

(3)
Amounts reflect the fair value on the date of grant, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, of the awards reported in the table.

Description of Plan-Based Awards

              Equity awards reported in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2013 table were granted to the named executive officers under the Company's long-term incentive programs, except for the unrestricted share award made to Mr. Moonves as part of his bonus for fiscal year 2012 performance.

              RSUs—The number of RSUs awarded is determined by dividing the value to be delivered by the closing price of a share of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. Except for Mr. Moonves' annual RSU grants, vesting for RSUs occurs in equal annual installments over four years. Some RSU awards are subject to performance conditions ("PRSUs"), as described under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Long-Term Incentive Programs—Performance Goals for LTMIP Awards—PRSUs." With respect to Mr. Moonves' annual RSU grant for 2013, the PRSUs vest and settle upon the later of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of the Compensation Committee's certification of the level of performance achieved, and the RSUs

subject only to time-based vesting are scheduled to vest in thirds, with 331/3% vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. With respect to Mr. Moonves' special RSU grant subject only to time-based vesting, which was granted in 2013 in connection with the extension of his employment arrangements in October 2012, 50% of the award vests on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant.

              Stock Options—The number of stock options awarded is determined by using a Black-Scholes valuation methodology in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 employing the same methodologies and assumptions that are applied for purposes of the Company's financial accounting statements (as reviewed by the Compensation Committee's independent consultant). Stock options have an exercise price not less than the closing price of a share of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the NYSE on the grant date and have an eight-year term. Vesting for stock options occurs in equal annual installments over four years.

              For other terms of these awards relating to performance goals and grant dates, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Long-Term Incentive Programs—Performance Goals for LTMIP Awards" and "—Grant Date of Awards."

The years of credited service under the plans identified in the table above differ from the years of actual service with respect to Messrs. Redstone, Moonves, Ianniello, Briskman and Ambrosio, who have been employed by the Company since 1996, 1995, 1997, 1975 and 1985, respectively. Their respective credited service for benefit accruals began in the following years: Mr. Redstone, 2003; Messrs. Moonves and Ianniello, 2004; Mr. Briskman, 2005; and Mr. Ambrosio, 2006. Prior to their participation in these plans, Messrs. Moonves, Ianniello, Briskman and Ambrosio participated in the pension plans identified in the table set forth below.

(2)
The present value of each named executive officer's accumulated benefit at December 31, 2013 in these plans was calculated assuming commencement of benefits at age 65 (except with respect to Mr. Redstone) using a discount rate of 4.95% and mortality rates in accordance with the RP-2000 sex distinct mortality table with a 14-year projection using the Scale AA sex distinct table. Since Mr. Redstone is above the plan's normal retirement age, the present value calculations assume immediate commencement.

(3)
Mr. Redstone receives certain minimum required payments from the CBS Retirement Plan Component of the CCPP (CRP Component) on a monthly basis.

(4)
Mr. Moonves is eligible for early retirement, since he is at least 55 years of age and has provided at least 10 years of eligibility service, but has not yet reached 65, the normal retirement age. Mr. Briskman retired from the Company effective December 31, 2013, and was eligible for early retirement at that time for the same reasons. See the description of the CRP Component below for information about the effect of early retirement.

The years of credited service under the plans identified in the table above differ from the years of actual service with respect to Messrs. Moonves, Ianniello, Briskman and Ambrosio, who have been employed by the Company since 1995, 1997, 1975 and 1985, respectively. With respect to Messrs. Moonves, Ianniello and Ambrosio, their respective years of credited service under these plans reflect actual service through the date on which these plans froze their respective benefit accruals, as follows: CCPP and SERP for Messrs. Moonves and Ianniello, 2004; CCPP and SERP for Mr. Ambrosio, 2010; CBS Bonus Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Messrs. Moonves and Ambrosio, 1999. Mr. Briskman has been receiving benefits under the CCPP since 2002, and the WEPP and his supplemental pension arrangement since 2004; his years of credited service under these plans reflect actual service and additional credited service in accordance with the provisions of the plans.

(2)
The present value of each named executive officer's accumulated benefit at December 31, 2013 in these plans was calculated assuming commencement of benefits at age 65 (except for Mr. Briskman, see footnote (4) below), a discount rate of 4.95% and mortality rates in accordance with the GAM-94 male mortality table, with a 17-year projection using the Scale AA sex distinct table, with no setback for males and a three-year setback for females.

(3)
Mr. Moonves is eligible for early retirement, since he is at least 55 years of age and has provided at least 10 years of vesting service, but has not yet reached 65, the normal retirement age. Mr. Briskman retired from the Company effective December 31, 2013, and was eligible for early retirement at that time for the same reasons. See the description of the CCPP below for information about the effect of early retirement.

(4)
Mr. Briskman's benefits are valued using an immediate single life factor, rather than assuming commencement at age 65, since he is currently receiving benefits. His active participation in these plans ended on December 31, 2001, following his departure from a CBS subsidiary of Former Viacom, and he began receiving benefits under the CCPP in 2002 and the WEPP and supplemental pension arrangement in 2004. Mr. Briskman returned to the Company on September 6, 2005, whereupon he received credit in the CBS Retirement Plan and CBS Retirement Excess Pension Plan for his service with the former CBS Corporation prior to September 6, 2005 for purposes of eligibility and vesting, but not for benefit accrual.

Description of Pension Benefits

              The Company currently maintains several qualified and nonqualified defined benefit plans as a result of various mergers, acquisitions and divestitures involving the Company and its various businesses, as well as changes implemented by the Company and its predecessors in retirement programs. Most of these plans, including all of the plans identified below, are closed to new participants and operate only for employees who are grandfathered into these plans. The Company's practice is generally not to grant additional years of benefit accrual service under the pension plans. The normal retirement age for all Company-sponsored pension plans is 65. See the two immediately preceding tables for the named executive officers' participation in these plans.

Pension plans pursuant to which named executive officers were accruing benefits as of December 31, 2013:

CBS Retirement Plan Component of the CBS Combined Pension Plan (CRP Component)

              All of the named executive officers participate in the CRP Component, a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, which became a component of the CBS Combined Pension Plan as of December 31, 2011. The CRP Component has been closed to new participants since July 2010. For existing participants, participation in the CRP began on the later of the date an eligible employee attained age 21 or completed one year of eligibility service. Employees are fully vested in their accrued benefit upon completion of five full years of vesting service. The Company pays the entire cost of the benefits provided by the CRP Component. Eligible compensation for purposes of qualified plans is limited by federal law; for 2013, the limit was $255,000 (the "Annual Limit").

              For each year of credited service up to a maximum of 30 years, the benefit formula for calculating an age 65 accrued benefit under the CRP Component is 1.25% of the participant's final average compensation up to the Social Security covered compensation amount, plus 1.75% of the participant's final average compensation above the Social Security covered compensation amount. Final average compensation includes eligible salary, commissions, overtime and short-term incentive awards. If an employee who participates in the CRP Component reaches age 55 with 10 years of eligibility service, he or she is considered eligible for an early retirement benefit. The reductions for retiring early are 6% per year for each year that the benefit begins between ages 65 and 60, plus 4% per year for each year that the benefit begins between ages 60 and 55. The normal forms of payment for a married or single participant are a 50% joint and survivor annuity or single life annuity, respectively. All optional forms of payment under the CRP Component are actuarially equivalent to the normal forms of payment.

CBS Retirement Excess Pension Plan (CREPP)

              The Company maintains the CREPP, an unfunded nonqualified defined benefit plan, to provide benefits to employees who are participants in the CRP Component and whose annual base salary and commissions have exceeded the Annual Limit. The benefits under the CREPP are calculated by determining the excess, if any, of (i) the benefits that would be payable under the CRP Component if it were not subject to the Annual Limit, over (ii) the benefits actually payable under the CRP Component. Early retirement reduction factors are identical to those of the CRP Component. The maximum amount of total annual compensation that may be taken into account under the CRP and the CREPP together is $750,000, except with respect to Messrs. Redstone and Moonves. For Mr. Redstone, who is also eligible to participate in the Viacom pension and excess pension plans, the amount of compensation that can be taken into account is $375,000. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Moonves' employment agreement, the amount of compensation that can be taken into account for him equals the amount of his base salary. Employees are fully vested in their accrued CREPP benefit upon completion of five full years of vesting service. The normal forms of payment for a married or

73


Table of Contents

single participant are a 50% joint and survivor annuity or single life annuity, respectively. All optional forms of payment under the CREPP are actuarially equivalent to the normal form of payment.

Pension plans pursuant to which named executive officers had an accumulated benefit but were not accruing benefits as of December 31, 2013:

CBS Combined Pension Plan (CCPP)

              The Company maintains the CCPP, a tax-qualified defined benefit plan for eligible employees who satisfied age and service requirements. The CCPP contains seven separate components, including the CRP Component as of December 31, 2011, with each of the components having been closed to new participants since March 31, 1999, with the exception of the CRP Component, which has been closed to new participants since July 2010. Messrs. Moonves, Ianniello and Ambrosio have frozen benefits in the Cash Balance Component, and Mr. Briskman has accumulated benefits in payment status under the Group W Component. For all of the components, employees are fully vested in their accrued benefit upon completion of five years of vesting service. The Company pays the cost of the benefits provided by the CCPP. Eligible compensation for purposes of the CCPP is limited to the Annual Limit. Early retirement reductions differ in each of these components of the CCPP; however, each component defines early retirement eligibility as age 55 with 10 years of vesting service while actively employed for each component.

              Cash Balance Component:    The cash balance benefit is expressed in the form of a hypothetical account balance. Benefits accrue monthly at a rate generally between 2%-12% of eligible compensation; the rate may increase with service. Eligible compensation is generally base salary. Interest credits are applied monthly to the prior month's balance, with a minimum interest rate of 5%. The normal forms of payment for a married or single participant are a 50% joint and survivor annuity or single life annuity, respectively; however, a lump sum payment option is available for this component. All optional forms of payment under the Cash Balance Component are actuarially equivalent to the normal forms of benefit. The named executive officers participating in the Cash Balance Component are eligible to commence receiving benefits upon termination from employment at any age, without any early retirement subsidy, and to the extent an annuity payment is elected, an early retirement supplement and subsidy are available on the portion of the benefit accrued prior to March 31, 1999.

              Group W Component:    The participant receives a monthly pension equal to the greater of $31 for each year of participation or 1/12 of 2% of annual pensionable wages for each year of participation. Pensionable wages include base pay, certain overtime pay and 50% of short-term incentive awards. While early retirement reduction provisions vary, as applied to the named executive officers hired prior to 1995 with less than 30 years of vesting service, the plan requires a reduction of 1/3 of 1% for each month the retirement date precedes age 65 (4% per year) down to age 60, with additional reductions using an IRS-approved mortality table and an annual interest rate of 7% for commencement prior to age 60. The normal forms of payment for a married or single participant are a 50% joint and survivor annuity or single life annuity, respectively; however, a lump sum payment option is available for this benefit. All optional forms of payment under the Group W Component are actuarially equivalent to the normal forms of benefit.

CBS Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP)

              The Company maintains the SERP, an unfunded nonqualified defined benefit plan, for eligible employees who participate in the CCPP whose annual base salary has exceeded the Annual Limit. The benefits under the SERP applicable to the named executive officers are calculated by determining the excess, if any, of (i) the benefits that would be payable under the Cash Balance Component if it were not subject to the Annual Limit, over (ii) the benefits actually payable under the Cash Balance

74


Table of Contents

Component. The normal forms of payment for a married or single participant are a 50% joint and survivor annuity or single life annuity, respectively. All optional forms of payment under the SERP are actuarially equivalent to the normal form of payment.

CBS Bonus Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (Bonus SERP)

              The Company established the Bonus SERP, an unfunded nonqualified defined benefit plan, to provide benefits based on short-term incentive awards to certain employees who are participants in the CCPP. This plan has been closed to new participants since March 31, 1999, at which time all benefits vested. The benefit is based on 50% of the average of a participant's highest five consecutive short-term incentive awards for the last 10 years, multiplied by 1.7% times credited service up to a maximum of 35. Benefits under the Bonus SERP applicable to the named executive officers have been frozen since March 31, 1999. Early retirement reduction factors are identical to those of the applicable CCPP component. The normal forms of payment for a married or single participant are a 50% joint and survivor annuity or single life annuity, respectively. All optional forms of payment under the Bonus SERP are actuarially equivalent to the normal form of payment.

Westinghouse Executive Pension Plan (WEPP)

              The WEPP is an unfunded nonqualified defined benefit plan, which provides benefits based upon an executive's final average compensation which are offset by benefits payable under the CCPP. This plan has been closed to new participants since March 31, 1999, at which time all benefits vested. The WEPP normal retirement formula is as follows: the sum of the participant's average monthly base salary and average monthly short-term incentive awards is multiplied by the product of the participant's executive service times 1.47%. The early retirement reduction factors for the WEPP are identical to those in the Group W Component of the CCPP. The normal form of payment is a single life annuity. All optional forms of payment under the WEPP are actuarially equivalent to the normal form of payment. Mr. Briskman is the only named executive officer with a benefit under the WEPP and he has been in receipt of such frozen benefit since 2004. See footnote (4) to the second table in this "Pension Benefits in 2013" section.

Executive Supplemental Pension Arrangement

              Pursuant to an agreement dated March 2, 1999, as amended on May 3, 2000, Mr. Briskman received monthly supplemental pension payments during 2013 under an unfunded nonqualified defined benefit arrangement. Mr. Briskman's payments under this arrangement are paid in the form of a single life annuity and are offset by benefits payable under the Group W Component of the CCPP and the WEPP. These payments are based on the WEPP benefit formula using certain assumptions with respect to final average compensation, average monthly base salary, average monthly short-term incentive awards and executive service, as set forth in the agreement. Early retirement reductions did not apply to this arrangement. Mr. Briskman has been in receipt of this frozen benefit since 2004. See footnote (4) to the second table in this "Pension Benefits in 2013" section.

Executive contributions pursuant to deferred salary and bonus plans are included in the "Salary" and "Bonus" columns, respectively, in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013.

(2)
Amounts reported are included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013.

(3)
Amounts reflect earnings or losses on all amounts deferred in 2013 and prior years in nonqualified plans, net of deductions for fees. No portion of these amounts is included in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013, as none of these plans or arrangements provide for above-market or preferential earnings, except with respect to Mr. Redstone, as noted in footnote (6) to the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2013.

(4)
Amount reflects earnings on amounts deferred under the Excess 401(k) Plan and the increase in the intrinsic value of Mr. Redstone's SOEs. Effective as of March 16, 2007, the approximate $10 million balance of Mr. Redstone's deferred salary compensation account, which was fully vested, was converted to unvested SOEs of equal fair value that have an exercise price equal to the closing price of a share of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the date of conversion, vested ratably over a four-year period and have a term of eight years. The intrinsic value of the SOEs increased from $13,861,865 as of December 31, 2012 to $59,284,276 as of December 31, 2013, due to the increase in the market price of the stock underlying each SOE (which was $63.74 as of December 31, 2013). See "Employment Agreements—Sumner M. Redstone" for further information on the SOEs.

(5)
Amount reflects a transfer in connection with a domestic relations order.

Description of Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

              Set forth below is information with respect to each plan under which deferrals of compensation are reflected in the table above.

Deferred Salary Plans

CBS Excess 401(k) Plan for Designated Senior Executives (Excess 401(k) Plan)

              The Company maintains supplemental 401(k) plans, including the Excess 401(k) Plan, an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan intended to provide benefits to employees who are eligible to participate in the CBS 401(k) Plan and whose annual base salary exceeds the Annual Limit. A participant can defer between 1% and 15% of his or her eligible compensation through payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis. Eligible compensation generally includes base pay or salary, including pre-tax contributions to the CBS 401(k) Plan and the Company's group health and welfare plans, flexible spending accounts and contributions to the commuter reimbursement account plan, plus overtime, commissions, hazard pay and shift differential pay. For 2013, the Company matched Excess 401(k) Plan contributions based on the rate of matching contributions under the CBS 401(k) Plan (70% of the first 5% of eligible compensation deferred on a pre-tax basis). Company contributions are fully vested after five years of service. Matching contributions made by the Company to the CBS 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan together are not made with respect to compensation in excess of $750,000. For Mr. Redstone, who is eligible to participate in the Viacom 401(k) and 401(k) excess plans, the

76


Table of Contents

amount of compensation that can be taken into account for Company matching amounts is limited to $375,000.

              Deferred amounts are reflected in phantom notional accounts and are credited with earnings and/or losses as if the deferred amounts were actually invested in accordance with the participant's investment elections under the CBS 401(k) Plan. The Company's matching contributions are also reflected in phantom notional accounts, which are credited with earnings and/or losses as if the matching contributions were actually invested in the CBS 401(k) Plan's CBS Class B Company Stock Fund. The CBS 401(k) Plan offers 20 investment options in which Excess 401(k) Plan balances may be notionally invested, and participants may change or reallocate investment directions on any business day on which the NYSE is open. The vested portion of a participant's Excess 401(k) Plan account is distributed in cash after termination of employment in accordance with the participant's distribution election, either in a lump sum payment or in installment payments. All of the named executive officers actively participated in the Excess 401(k) Plan during 2013, except for Mr. Redstone, although he does maintain a balance in the Excess 401(k) Plan.

CBS Supplementary Employee Investment Fund (SEIF)

              The SEIF was established to provide benefits to employees who were eligible to participate in the former CBS Corporation's qualified defined contribution plan and whose annual base salary exceeded the Annual Limit during the applicable years. This nonqualified deferred compensation plan, which is partially funded using a rabbi trust, was closed to new participants as of 1998 and ceased permitting new contributions effective January 1, 2002. Participants were permitted to contribute 1% to 12.5% of their eligible compensation, which was matched by the former CBS Corporation. Eligible compensation generally included base pay or salary and excluded bonus payments, overtime compensation, deferred compensation and additional compensation. The SEIF offers six investment options in which employee contributions may be invested and in which Company matching contributions may be notionally invested, and participants may reallocate investment directions on any business day on which the NYSE is open. Payouts under the SEIF are made in cash after termination of employment in accordance with the participant's distribution election, either in a lump sum payment or installment payments. Mr. Moonves has a balance in the SEIF.

CBS Deferred Compensation Arrangements

              The Company previously required certain senior executives to defer specified amounts of their base salary compensation, as determined by their respective employment contracts. Deferred amounts are held in phantom accounts and are credited with earnings and/or losses as if the deferred amounts were actually invested in accordance with the participant's investment elections under the CBS 401(k) Plan. These arrangements are not funded. Distributions are made in accordance with the individual's respective employment contract. Mr. Moonves has a deferred compensation balance in connection with these arrangements due to deferral requirements from a prior employment contract with the Company.

Deferred Bonus Plans

CBS Bonus Deferral Plan for Designated Senior Executives (BDP)

              The Company maintains bonus deferral plans, including the BDP, an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan intended to provide benefits to employees who are eligible to participate in the CBS 401(k) Plan and whose annual base salary exceeds the Annual Limit. Participants can defer between 1% and 15% of their short-term incentive plan bonus to the BDP on a pre-tax basis. Deferred amounts are reflected in phantom accounts and are credited with earnings and/or losses as if the deferred amounts were actually invested in accordance with the participant's investment elections under the CBS 401(k) Plan. Amounts deferred under the BDP are distributed in cash after termination of employment in accordance with the participant's distribution election, either in a lump sum payment or installment payments. None of the named executive officers made elections to defer bonus amounts paid in 2013. Mr. Moonves is the only named executive officer who maintains a balance in the BDP.

Potential Payments upon Termination

              During 2013, all of the named executive officers had employment agreements providing for separation payments upon certain types of termination of employment. The tables below set forth estimated potential payments that would be made to a named executive officer if his employment had terminated as of December 31, 2013, except that, in the case of Mr. Briskman, the tables will set forth payments made to Mr. Briskman in connection with his retirement from the Company, effective December 31, 2013. In determining the benefits payable upon certain terminations of employment, the Company has assumed in all cases that the executive has complied and continues to comply with all of the restrictive and other covenants included in his employment agreement and has not become employed by a new employer in those cases where the employment agreement requires mitigation by the executive.

              The following tables reflect incremental payments and benefits that would be owed by the Company to the executive beyond what the named executive officer had earned and which were no longer subject to vesting conditions, as of December 31, 2013, and do not reflect benefits that are provided pursuant to plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in favor of executive officers and are available generally to all salaried employees, such as amounts accrued under the CBS 401(k) and 401(k) excess plans, accumulated and vested benefits under the Company's pension plans, disability benefits and accrued vacation pay. Payments made to a named executive officer would be made subject to any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In the case of Messrs. Moonves, Ianniello and Ambrosio, receipt of the payments and benefits shown below upon a termination without Cause or for Good Reason is conditioned on the named executive officer's execution of a release in favor of the Company.

(1)
Amounts reflect, with respect to base salary: for Mr. Moonves, three times his annual base salary; for Mr. Ianniello, the continuation of his base salary for a period of 24 months, in this instance, January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014; and for Mr. Ambrosio, the continuation of his base salary for a period of 18 months, in this instance, January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. In addition, Mr. Moonves' amount includes the following cash compensation: (a) a cash payment of $10.25 million (which would have been prorated in the case of a termination for "Good Reason") in respect of consideration not received over the remainder of the employment term and (b) a cash payment of $10 million which would be payable to Mr. Moonves unless he elects to provide services as a producer to the Company following his termination without "Cause" or for "Good Reason." Mr. Ianniello's amount also includes a cash payment of $22 million in respect of stock options and RSUs not granted over the remainder of the employment term.

(2)
For terminations without "Cause" or for "Good Reason": for Mr. Moonves, amounts reflect the payment of three times the average of the last three completed calendar year bonuses, with his target bonus included for 2013; for Mr. Ianniello, amounts reflect the payment of 24 months' worth of bonus, which is based on the greater of his target bonus and the average of the bonuses paid for the two calendar years preceding the calendar year of his termination; and for Mr. Ambrosio, amounts reflect 18 months' worth of his target bonus. With respect to a December 31, 2013 termination date, bonuses for the period January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 (as determined by the Compensation Committee, which would have been earned by the named executive officers as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table) are not included as "Annual Bonus Continuation." Target bonus amounts for the named executive officers were as follows for 2013: Mr. Redstone, $5,000,000; Mr. Moonves, $12,000,000; Mr. Ianniello, $7,500,000; Mr. Briskman, $2,600,000; and Mr. Ambrosio, $1,093,750.

(3)
The amounts shown for Messrs. Moonves, Ianniello and Ambrosio reflect the Company's cost of providing continued health insurance benefits and life insurance coverage as provided in their employment agreements.

(4)
The calculation of the value associated with the acceleration or continuation (in the case of Mr. Briskman) of the vesting of outstanding equity awards in accordance with the provisions of each named executive officer's employment agreement, (i) in the case of stock awards, was based on the closing price of the Company's Class B Common Stock on December 31, 2013, which was $63.74, with the inclusion of the PRSUs awarded on February 12, 2013 reflecting actual achievement of the applicable performance conditions (except in the case of death or disability for Messrs. Moonves and Ianniello, whose agreements require that PRSUs be accelerated assuming target level of achievement); and (ii) in the case of options, was based on the difference between such closing price and the exercise price of the option.


In the case of Mr. Redstone, the number of shares to be delivered in settlement of his 2011 and 2012 PSUs under these post-termination scenarios would be determined in accordance with the award schedule discussed in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Long-Term Incentive Programs—Performance Goals for LTMIP Awards—PSUs" based on a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2013, as required by the terms of his

Mr. Redstone's employment contract does not include a "Good Reason" termination clause.

(6)
Mr. Briskman retired from the Company effective December 31, 2013; thus, amounts shown reflect only amounts payable in connection with his retirement, in accordance with SEC rules.

              The following table reflects payments and benefits that are additional to those set forth in the preceding table that would be owed by the Company to Messrs. Ianniello and Ambrosio if their employment was terminated by the Company without Cause, or if they terminated their employment with Good Reason, on December 31, 2013, within twenty-four months following the occurrence of a "Corporate Event" (as defined below).

(1)
Amounts reflect, with respect to Mr. Ianniello, the continuation of his base salary for an additional 12 months, and with respect to Mr. Ambrosio, the continuation of his base salary for an additional 18 months.

(2)
Amounts reflect the payment of 36 months' worth of bonus, which is based on the average of the bonuses paid for the three calendar years preceding the calendar year of termination, less the amount shown in the preceding table.

(3)
The amounts shown for Mr. Ianniello reflect the Company's cost of providing continued health insurance benefits and life insurance coverage as provided in his employment agreement for an additional 12 months. The amounts shown for Mr. Ambrosio reflect the Company's cost of providing continued health insurance benefits and life insurance coverage for 36 months, each as provided in his employment agreement, less the amount shown in the preceding table.

(4)
The amounts shown for Messrs. Ianniello and Ambrosio reflect the Company's cost of providing outplacement services for a maximum period of 12 months following termination of employment.

(5)
The calculation of the value associated with the acceleration of the vesting of equity grants, in the case of stock awards, was based on the closing price of the Company's Class B Common Stock on December 31, 2013, which was $63.74, and, in the case of options, was based on the difference between such closing price and the exercise price of the option.

              None of the named executive officers' employment agreements provide for post-termination payments and benefits solely in the event of a change-in-control, and, in the case of Mr. Moonves, the amount of payments to which he is entitled upon termination is not affected by whether the termination occurs before or after a change-in-control. Mr. Moonves' employment agreement provides for a "gross-up" in the event any payment or benefit owed to him under the agreement is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If the Company experienced a change-in-control on December 31, 2013, and Mr. Moonves was terminated on that date and such termination was determined to be contingent on the change-in-control, none of Mr. Moonves' payments and benefits would trigger an excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.

              The employment agreement of Mr. Ianniello provides for a "gross-up" if his employment is terminated "Without Cause" or for "Good Reason" within 24 months following the occurrence of a "Corporate Event" and any payment or benefit owed to him under the agreement is subject to the

80


Table of Contents

excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if the aggregate amount of such payments and benefits exceeds a specified percentage of the safe harbor amount. If the aggregate amount of payments and benefits owed does not exceed the specified percentage, the payments and benefits would be reduced to avoid imposition of the excise tax. In connection with such termination "Without Cause" or for "Good Reason" on December 31, 2013, which occurred within 24 months following the occurrence of a "Corporate Event," and if the specified percentage were exceeded, the Company would owe Mr. Ianniello as a tax gross-up in respect of the excise tax, an amount equal to approximately 55% of the total present value of the payments and benefits he would receive in connection with such termination that are taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of the excise tax.

              Mr. Ambrosio's new employment agreement does not include provisions which would entitle him to a tax gross-up if an excise tax were imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination Without Good Reason

              Each named executive officer's employment agreement includes a definition of "Cause" (as discussed below) for which the executive's employment may be terminated by the Company. The named executive officers will receive no incremental payments and benefits under their respective employment agreements in the event of a termination by the Company for "Cause" or a named executive officer's voluntary termination without "Good Reason" (also discussed below).

Termination Without "Cause" by the Company or for "Good Reason" by the Named Executive Officer

              Each named executive officer will receive termination payments and benefits if the Company terminates his employment without "Cause" or, except for Mr. Redstone, if the named executive officer terminates employment with the Company for "Good Reason" pursuant to his employment agreement. Mr. Redstone's employment agreement does not include any provision on resignation for "Good Reason."

              If a termination without "Cause" or for "Good Reason" had occurred as of December 31, 2013, then, in addition to compensation the named executive officer would have earned as of the termination date and benefits generally available to all salaried employees (such as amounts accrued under the CBS 401(k) plans, accumulated and vested benefits under the Company's nonqualified deferred compensation and pension plans, disability benefits and accrued vacation pay):

              With respect to Mr. Moonves, his employment agreement requires that (x) the cash severance amount described in clause (i) above be paid 50% in a lump sum within a specified period following the termination date and 50% over the 36-month severance period and (y) the cash payments described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above be paid within specified periods following the termination date. The employment agreement for Mr. Ianniello requires that the cash severance amount be paid 50% in a lump sum within a specified period following the termination date and 50% over the 24-month severance period. The employment agreement for Mr. Ambrosio requires that salary continuation be paid over the 18-month severance period and that bonus continuation be paid in accordance with the Company's standard practice for the payment of bonuses.

              Named executive officers who receive benefits upon termination without "Cause" or for "Good Reason" may be subject to mitigation obligations under the terms of the employment agreement and are subject to certain restrictive covenants relating to non-competition, solicitation of Company employees, protection of the Company's confidential information and its ownership of work product and cooperation in litigation.

              Definition of "Good Reason" Termination:    Mr. Redstone's employment agreement does not include any provision on resignation for "Good Reason." A "Good Reason" termination for Mr. Moonves would have been based on the following circumstances: his removal or any failure to reelect him as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or any higher office or title

attained); his removal from or failure to be elected or reelected to the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders of the Company at which his term as director is scheduled to expire; a failure to fill any vacancy of the Chairman position within a specified period; the assignment by the Company of duties inconsistent with the usual and customary duties associated with a chief executive officer of a publicly traded company comparable to the Company; the diminution or withdrawal of a meaningful portion of his authority or responsibilities; a reduction in his salary, target bonus or other compensation levels as the same may be increased from time to time during the employment term; the Compensation Committee's establishing Company-wide performance goal(s) that fail to satisfy the incentive goal parameters set forth in his employment agreement; payment of a bonus that is less than the Company-wide performance bonus portion payable in accordance with the terms set forth in his employment agreement; the Company's requiring him to be based anywhere other than the New York or Los Angeles metropolitan area, except for required travel on the Company's business; any other material breach by the Company of its material obligations under the employment agreement, including, without limitation, a breach regarding his duties, positions, authority or reporting lines as set forth in paragraph 2 of his employment agreement; or termination by him of his employment, during the 30-day period following the 12-month anniversary of the date on which there occurs a "material event" described in (x) below or after the 90-day period following the date on which there occurs a "material event" described in (y) below, in either case based on his judgment (and in the case of a material event described in (y) below, following the expiration of a discussion period) that the occurrence of the material event has adversely and materially affected his ability to perform his CEO duties effectively, provided, however, that in the case of a material event described in (y) below, he shall provide written notice of termination to the Chair of the Compensation Committee and offer to meet within ten days to discuss his judgment. A "material event" shall have occurred (x) on the date on which a majority of the independent directors of the Board ceases to consist of (1) those individuals who, immediately prior to October 15, 2012, constitute the independent directors of the Board (the "Original Independent Directors") and (2) those successor independent directors who are elected or appointed to the Board, either by a vote of the Board or by action of the Company's stockholders pursuant to a recommendation by the Board, as a result of the death or voluntary retirement or resignation of an Original Independent Director (or any such successor), including a voluntary determination by such Original Independent Director (or such successor) not to stand for reelection; or (y) upon the appointment of a non-Executive Chairman other than Mr. Redstone or himself.

              A "Good Reason" for Mr. Ianniello would have been: (i) a material reduction in his position, titles, offices, reporting relationships, authorities, duties or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to such reduction, including any such reduction effected through any arrangement involving the sharing of your position, titles, offices, reporting relationships, authorities, duties or responsibilities, or any such reduction which would remove positions, titles, offices, reporting relationships, authorities, duties or responsibilities which are customarily given to an executive of a comparable public company; (ii) a reduction in his base salary or target compensation in effect immediately prior to such reduction, including his annual target bonus or long-term incentive targets; (iii) the assignment to him of duties or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with the usual and customary duties associated with a Chief Operating Officer of a publicly traded company or that materially impair his ability to function as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company (provided that he acknowledges and agrees that supporting the Chief Executive Officer on such strategic and operational matters as may assigned to him shall not be deemed materially inconsistent with the usual and customary duties associated with a Chief Operating Officer of a publicly traded company or to materially impair his ability to function as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company); (iv) a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under the agreement; (v) a material reduction in his after-tax income which results from the performance of services in California for the Company; or (vi) the Company requiring him to be based anywhere other than the New York or Los Angeles metropolitan area, except for required business travel. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) a material

reduction described in clause (i) above shall include and be deemed to have occurred if either (x) Mr. Ianniello ceases to be the most senior executive responsible for the financial affairs of the Company and the operational responsibilities in effect immediately prior to the effective date of his employment agreement and such additional operating responsibilities as the Chief Executive Officer may assign to him thereafter (provided that no cessation shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company has an ultimate parent company that is a public company and you are the most senior executive responsible for the financial affairs and the operational responsibilities of the ultimate public parent company), or (y) neither the Company nor its ultimate parent company (if any) is a public company); and (2) neither the assignment of another individual (or any successor(s) to such individual) to serve as the Company's chief financial officer nor such individual's performance of duties customary to that of a CFO of a public company shall be considered a material reduction or otherwise constitute "Good Reason" so long as such CFO position reports to him.

              For Mr. Ambrosio, "Good Reason" would have been triggered by the following: (i) a material reduction in (A) position, titles, offices, reporting relationships, authorities, duties or responsibilities ("Duties") from those in effect immediately prior to such reduction or (B) base salary or target compensation in effect immediately prior to such reduction; (ii) the assignment of duties or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with his current Duties or that materially impair his ability to function in his role with the Company as of a specified date; (iii) the material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under the agreement; or (iv) the relocation of his position outside of the New York metropolitan area to any metropolitan area other than Los Angeles. For the avoidance of doubt, a material reduction described in clause (i)(A) above is deemed to have occurred if (x) he ceases to be the most senior executive responsible for his area of expertise at the Company (or if the Company has a public parent company, at the public parent company) or (y) neither the Company nor its ultimate parent company (if any) is a public company.

Termination Without "Cause" by the Company or for "Good Reason" by the Named Executive Officer Following the Occurrence of a Corporate Event

              Each of Messrs. Ianniello and Ambrosio will receive termination payments and benefits if the Company terminates his employment without Cause or if he terminates employment with the Company for Good Reason, in either case within 24 months following the occurrence of a "Corporate Event." If a termination without Cause or for Good Reason during the 24-month period following the occurrence of a "Corporate Event" occurs, then, in addition to the payments and benefits previously described in connection with a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or a termination of employment by the named executive officer for Good Reason, each of Messrs. Ianniello and Ambrosio would receive the following payments and benefits: (i) the continuation of base salary for an additional 12 months, in the case of Mr. Ianniello, or for an additional 18 months, in the case of Mr. Ambrosio; (ii) a prorated target bonus for the calendar year of termination; (iii) an amount generally equal to an additional 12 months of bonus, in the case of Mr. Ianniello, or 18 months of bonus, in the case of Mr. Ambrosio; (iv) Company-paid medical and dental benefits for an additional 12 months, in the case of Mr. Ianniello, or for an additional 18 months, in the case of Mr. Ambrosio; (v) Company-paid life insurance for 36 months (instead of 24 months, in the case of Mr. Ianniello, or for the remainder of the term, for Mr. Ambrosio); (vi) accelerated vesting of stock options, RSUs and other equity awards to the extent vesting of such awards would not be accelerated upon a termination without Cause or for Good Reason occurring other than during the 24-month period following the occurrence of a Corporate Event; and (vii) outplacement services for up to 12 months. In addition, Mr. Ianniello would be entitled to receive a cash payment of $22 million in respect of stock options and RSUs not received over the remainder of his employment term, which amount will be reduced in future years as such grants are made.

85


Table of Contents

              A "Corporate Event" generally is defined as the occurrence of (i) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, (ii) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (iii) the acquisition of stock by any person or group representing more than 20% of the voting power of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, or (iv) a majority of the independent directors of the Company's Board of Directors ceasing to consist of the independent directors as of January 1, 2011 and their successor independent directors. The full definition of "Corporate Event" is set forth in the employment agreement of each of Messrs. Ianniello and Ambrosio.

Termination Due to Disability

              If Mr. Redstone were to be terminated during the employment term as a result of his disability, the Company would pay salary earned through the date of his termination and the vesting of his outstanding equity awards would be accelerated. If Mr. Moonves were to be terminated during the employment term as a result of his disability, Mr. Moonves would receive salary earned through the date of his termination, a prorated target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, Company-paid life insurance coverage for the remainder of the term of his agreement, and accelerated vesting of his outstanding equity awards. If Mr. Ianniello were to be terminated during the employment term as a result of his disability, he would receive salary earned through the date of termination, a prorated bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs (which he would have earned), a prorated target bonus for the period during which he receives short-term disability benefits under the Company's short-term disability program, accelerated vesting of his outstanding equity awards and a cash payment of $22 million in respect of stock options and RSUs not received over the remainder of the employment term, which amount will be reduced in future years as such grants are made. If Mr. Ambrosio were to be terminated during the employment term as a result of his disability, he would receive salary earned through the date of termination, a prorated bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs (which he would have earned), a prorated target bonus for the period during which he receives short-term disability benefits under the Company's short-term disability program, and accelerated vesting of his outstanding equity awards.

Termination Due to Death

              If Mr. Redstone were to die during the employment term, the Company would pay salary earned through the date of his death and the vesting of his outstanding equity awards would be accelerated. If Mr. Moonves were to die during the employment term, his estate or beneficiary would receive salary earned through the date of his death, a prorated target bonus for the year in which his death occurs, and accelerated vesting of his outstanding equity awards. If Mr. Ianniello were to die during the employment term, his beneficiary or estate would receive salary earned through the date of death, a prorated bonus for the calendar year in which death occurs (which he would have earned), accelerated vesting of his outstanding equity awards and a cash payment of $22 million in respect of stock options and RSUs not received over the remainder of the employment term, which amount will be reduced in future years as such grants are made. If Mr. Ambrosio were to die during the employment term, his beneficiary or estate would receive salary earned through the date of death, a prorated bonus for the calendar year in which death occurs (which he would have earned) and accelerated vesting of his outstanding equity awards. No additional payments or benefits would be due under their respective contracts.

Post-Termination Service as a Senior Advisor and/or Producer

              Mr. Moonves' employment agreement provides incentives for him to continue his employment with the Company for a period of four years as a Senior Advisor following the end of the original employment term or upon an earlier termination of his employment without "Cause" or for "Good

Reason." In connection with his services as a Senior Advisor, his annual salary would be $4.5 million, and he would receive a one-time RSU award having a grant date value of $9 million.

              Mr. Moonves' employment agreement also provides him with the opportunity to provide services as a Producer for a four-year period, upon written notice to the Company, following the end of the original employment term or upon an earlier termination of his employment without "Cause" or for "Good Reason." If Mr. Moonves elects to provide services as a Producer, the material terms set forth in the letter agreement between him and the Company, dated May 2, 2012 (the "Supplemental Agreement"), will constitute a binding production agreement, subject to the parties' obligation to endeavor to enter into a binding long-form production agreement within a specified period that amends or supersedes the Supplemental Agreement. The Supplemental Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, filed on August 2, 2012. In the event of a termination of Mr. Moonves' employment without "Cause" or for "Good Reason," or in certain circumstances following the expiration of the original employment term, Mr. Moonves will be entitled to a cash payment of $10.0 million unless he elects to provide services as a Producer.

              Under his employment agreement, Mr. Moonves will be entitled to continued participation in the Company's employee benefit plans, continuation of his Company-paid life insurance coverage, use of Company aircraft, certain incidental costs for office space and secretarial support and security services while he serves as a Senior Advisor and/or Producer to the Company. His employment agreement also contains restrictive covenants imposing non-competition obligations, restricting solicitation of employees, and protecting confidential information and the Company's ownership of work product as well as other covenants, during the period in which Mr. Moonves provides services as a Senior Advisor and/or Producer and for specified periods thereafter.

ITEM 3—ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION
OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

              Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related rules promulgated by the SEC, the Company is seeking an advisory (non-binding) vote from its stockholders "FOR" the following resolution:

              As more fully discussed under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the Company's compensation programs are designed to motivate and reward business success and to increase stockholder value. The core objectives of these programs are to provide compensation arrangements that are stockholder value focused, market-based, performance-based and flexible. The Compensation Committee believes that its programs effectively achieve the objective of aligning compensation with performance measures that are directly related to the Company's financial goals and creation of stockholder value, without encouraging senior executives to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Company. As discussed under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2013 Executive Summary—Pay for Performance," a high percentage of the named executive officers' target total compensation is performance-based (targeted at 74%-91% of total target compensation for 2013).

              CBS Corporation had an exceptional 2013 fiscal year, maintaining and building upon the momentum it had established in the prior three fiscal years to achieve record-breaking financial results in certain key metrics. During 2013, the Company also recorded its highest closing stock price since the Separation. The Company's Class B Common Stock appreciated 68% during 2013, which appreciation exceeded the appreciation of each of the Company's diversified media peers (including for the fourth calendar year out of the past five calendar years), exceeded the average of the Company's diversified media peers and the S&P 500 index for the fifth consecutive calendar year, and resulted in cumulative share price appreciation for the five-year period ending December 31, 2013 that has significantly outpaced the average of such appreciation for the Company's diversified media peers and the S&P 500 Index.

              This strong performance directly resulted from the continued leadership of the senior management team in executing on the Company's key strategic objectives, including optimizing the Company's portfolio of assets, driving growth by capitalizing on the demand for its top-tier content and continuing to diversify its revenue streams through new distribution channels and markets. The execution of this strategy, with cumulative successes over the past four years, has continued to cultivate significant rewards for shareholders and position the Company for long-term success. The Board of Directors believes that the Company's compensation approach supports pay for performance.

              As an advisory vote, the outcome of this vote is not binding on the Company or on the Company's Board of Directors. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will consider the voting outcome in connection with their ongoing evaluation of the Company's compensation programs and arrangements.


RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

              The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the resolution above to approve (on an advisory basis) the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K.

This table does not include plans assumed by the Company pursuant to mergers with publicly traded companies if no awards were made under such plans after completion of the mergers. For this reason, this table does not include options for 57,862 shares in the aggregate, all of which were assumed in the mergers and remain outstanding as of December 31, 2013. The weighted-average exercise price of these options as of December 31, 2013 was $23.07.

This amount includes 270,603 shares underlying PSUs and 515,276 shares underlying PRSUs, in each case granted under the Company's 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which numbers of shares assume that target performance levels would be attained. If, however, maximum performance levels were attained (and 811,809 shares and 618,331 shares, respectively, were issued as a result), the amount shown would be increased by 541,206 shares and 103,055 shares, respectively (and the amount shown in column (c) would be reduced by an equal number of shares).

ANNEX A

CBS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted OIBDA") and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("Adjusted Diluted EPS")

The Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as net earnings (loss) from continuing operations adjusted to exclude the following line items presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations: Equity in earnings (loss) of investee companies, net of tax; Provision for income taxes; Other items, net; Net loss on early extinguishment of debt; Interest income; Interest expense; and Depreciation and amortization; and before impairment and restructuring charges. The Company defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations before impairment and restructuring charges and loss on early extinguishment of debt, all of which are net of tax. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

The Company uses Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin and Adjusted Diluted EPS, among other things, to evaluate the Company's operating performance. These measures are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods and are also important indicators of the Company's operational strength and business performance. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted OIBDA, among other things, to value prospective acquisitions, provide a link between the Company's profitability and operating cash flow and as one of several components of incentive compensation targets. The Company believes these measures are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company's management, help improve investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance and make it easier for investors to compare the Company's results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. In addition, these are among the primary measures used externally by the Company's investors, analysts and industry peers for purposes of valuation and for the comparison of the Company's operating performance to other companies in its industry.

Because Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings (loss) from continuing operations or diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, as applicable, as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, as the Company calculates them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use, and is not necessarily a measure of the Company's ability to fund its cash needs. As Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS exclude certain financial information that is included in net earnings (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the case of Adjusted OIBDA, or diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the case of Adjusted Diluted EPS, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.

The following tables present reconciliations of Adjusted OIBDA to net earnings (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable amount reported under GAAP, and of Adjusted Diluted EPS to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, the most directly comparable amount reported under GAAP, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

CBS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Free Cash Flow Before Contributions to Qualified Pension Plans

The Company defines free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans as its net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and before operating cash flow from discontinued operations and contributions to qualified pension plans. The Company's calculation of free cash flow includes capital expenditures because investment in capital expenditures is a use of cash that is directly related to the Company's operations. The Company considers free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans as such contributions are primarily discretionary and the Company considers its decision to increase or decrease these contributions a financing decision, the resultant effect of which is not indicative of the underlying performance of the Company. In addition, contributions to qualified pension plans can vary significantly from year to year thereby affecting comparability. Free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company's net cash flow provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Management believes free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to the Company to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, maintain its capital assets, satisfy its tax obligations, and fund ongoing operations and working capital needs. As a result, free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans is a significant measure of the Company's ability to generate long-term value. It is useful for investors to know whether this ability is being enhanced or degraded as a result of the Company's operating performance. The Company believes the presentation of free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from the Company's underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management. Free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans is one of several components of incentive compensation targets. In addition, free cash flow is a primary measure used externally by the Company's investors, analysts and industry peers for purposes of valuation and comparison of the Company's operating performance to other companies in its industry.

As free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, either net cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity or net earnings as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans as a measure of liquidity has certain limitations, does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of the Company's ability to fund its cash needs. When comparing free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans to net cash flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are not reflected in free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's net cash flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow before contributions to qualified pension plans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013:
