Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. chief executive Richard Fuld Jr. will leave the bankrupt investment bank by the end of the year without taking a bonus.
He received a $34.4 million bonus in 2007.
Mr. Fuld will be helping lawyers and other professionals disburse Lehman's assets to pay creditors.
His position will be filled by Bryan Marsal of Alvarez & Marsal Holdings LLC, who is serving as Lehman's chief restructuring officer, according to two people familiar with the bankruptcy case.
Mr. Fuld will continue in his role as non-management chairman of the board following his departure from the firm, said Lehman Brothers spokesman Jonathan Doorley.
"For the record, Mr. Fuld offered to provide this transition cooperation without any claim to severance or other bonus payment at the end of his employment," he said. "This offer was accepted [by the investment bank.]"
Despite offering to resign as the chief executive of the company immediately after the sale of the domestic broker-dealer and investment banking operations, Mr. Marsal asked Mr. Fuld to stay with the company for a "reasonable transition period," according to Mr. Doorley.
