The chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group, Eric Daniels, has decided to waive his £2.3m bonus for 2009.
The bank, which is 43%-owned by the taxpayer, said Mr Daniels took the decision to prevent a row over bonuses.
He was said to be concerned that a row would distract attention from the "excellent progress" made by the bank over the last year.

In a statement, Lloyds said its remuneration committee, which decides bonus awards, had agreed that Mr Daniels deserved his bonus for the year.
"The committee decided that Eric Daniels... merits the full payout under the company's annual bonus scheme because of his significant individual contribution, and the group's overall performance," it said.
"Mr Daniels has informed the board, however, that he wishes to waive his bonus."
