Solomon’s pay comprises a $2 million base salary, $6.9 million cash bonus and $16.1 million in restricted stock. He was paid $35 million for 2021.
The bank’s compensation committee cited the “challenging operating environment” as a factor in deciding Solomon’s pay, according to the filing. It also noted his “strong individual performance and effective leadership.”The cut was the largest so far among the CEOs of the biggest U.S. banks, whose firms suffered from a dealmaking drought after a blockbuster 2021.
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) CEO James Gorman’s compensation was reduced 10% to $31.5 million for 2022. At JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM), Jamie Dimon’s pay held steady at $34.5 million for 2022.
Last year, influential proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis urged shareholders to vote against pay packages that included one-off stock grants for Solomon and John Waldron, the company’s president. Their compensation was later approved by investors.
