1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) said it will make the payment for the compound issued by the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) on May 30 or even earlier than the date given.

In a statement, 1MDB said it fully respects the authority and decision of BNM in this matter.

Referring to the BNM statement today, 1MDB confirmed the closure of investigations on 1MDB and the imposition of an administrative compound for non-compliance with certain directions of BNM.

BNM today issued a letter of administrative compound to 1MDB today after receiving the consent of Attorney General.

The compound is for the company's failure to fully comply with directions issued under the Financial Services Act 2013, BNM said in a statement.
