Marex announces departure of Roger Nagioff from the Group Board

LONDON, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marex Group Plc (NASDAQ: MRX), the diversified global financial services platform, announces today that Roger Nagioff has stepped down from the Group Board. Roger represented private equity investors on the Board.

Before Marex's initial public offering $(IPO.UK)$ on Nasdaq in April 2024, private equity shareholders including JRJ Group held around 96% of Marex stock. Following the IPO and two successful secondary follow-on offerings, private equity owners now hold around 30% of Marex stock.

Roger was a member of the Board for 15 years and is a founding partner of JRJ Group. A process is underway to find a new member of the Group Board. He was a member of the Risk Committee and the Remuneration Committee.

Robert Pickering, Chair of Marex, commented: "We are sorry to be losing Roger from the Board, but we understand his decision to step down now that Marex is well established as a successful public company. Roger and JRJ have been an immense support to Marex since the original buyout 15 years ago, and we will greatly miss his wisdom and experience. On behalf of all of us at Marex, I'd like to thank Roger for his invaluable contribution and to wish him every success in the future."

Roger Nagioff, JRJ, commented: "I'm truly proud of what Marex has been able to achieve and I am grateful to have been part of its growth and development for the last fifteen years. Having been part of this successful journey and having seen enormous growth -- culminating in the IPO and two follow-ons -- it is the right time for Robert, Ian and the rest of the Board to continue to the next level without me. I remain excited by Marex's future potential."

Ian Lowitt, Marex CEO, commented: "Roger and JRJ have helped us to build Marex into a business capable of achieving consecutive profitable growth. We have now transitioned successfully into a public company and Roger's decision comes as we embark on the next stage of our development. I'd like to thank Roger for his support and friendship, and we wish him well in the future."
