Disney is cutting $US13.5 million ($A19 million) from chief executive Bob Iger's annual potential earnings ahead of the closing of its $US71.3 billion acquisition of Fox's entertainment assets.
The move comes ahead of Disney's annual shareholder meeting on Thursday (US time).
A year ago, shareholders voted against Mr Iger's pay package at the AGM in a non-binding vote that the company said it would take into consideration for future compensation.
The company is cutting an annual base salary increase of $US500,000 that Iger was set to receive when the Fox deal closes and maintains his current base of $US3 million.
It cuts the annual bonus he was set to receive by $US8 million to $US12 million.
