Walt Disney Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger saw his reported compensation drop 3.4 percent to $44.9 million in 2015, as his cash bonus shrank by $410,000 and the value of a pension declined because of an accounting change.

Iger’s bonus fell to $22.3 million in the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 29, according to a proxy filed Wednesday by the world’s biggest entertainment company. The biggest factor, though, was a change in a discount rate applied to his pension. That resulted in an almost 50 percent drop in its reported value, to $1.42 million.
