Goldman Sachs Group Inc. cut Chief Executive Officer David Solomon’s annual compensation 36% after deducting a penalty for the bank’s 1MDB bribery scandal.

The board reduced his package to $17.5 million for 2020, down from $27.5 million a year earlier. The payout fell after Solomon was required to return about $10 million to make amends for the firm’s criminal role in the looting of the Malaysian investment fund, the bank said in a filing on Tuesday.
