Related disclosures in the same filing

The Form 4 that recorded Fredman’s transactions was filed alongside other corporate disclosures. Those filings noted that Goldman Sachs raised the total compensation package for CEO David Solomon to $47 million for 2025, a 21% increase from the prior year. The disclosed pay package comprises a $2 million base salary plus $45 million in bonuses, which include performance stock units and cash.

Other industry developments noted in filings and reports

The disclosure package also referenced several separate industry updates. JPMorgan Chase & Co. reportedly has urged its investment banking staff to intensify efforts in mergers and acquisitions after underperforming in 2025, a message conveyed by global banking co-heads John Simmons and Filippo Gori during an internal meeting. Separately, Verition Fund Management has closed a trading desk led by former Goldman Sachs executives, citing poor performance for the team.

Outside the banks, the filings and related reports mention that Cubby, a self-storage property management platform, raised $63 million in Series A financing. That round was led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives and is intended to support enhancements to software and artificial intelligence products among other initiatives.
