Resignation of Chief Financial Officer

On June 27, 2025, Jeffrey Kravetz notified the Board of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer of Marblegate Capital Corporation (the “Company”) effective July 3, 2025, whereupon he will relinquish the roles of Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Company. His resignation did not arise or result from any disagreement with the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors or the Company’s auditors, on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, finances, policies or practices.

Appointment of Chief Financial Officer

On June 30, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Michael Hutchby, age 47, as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective July 3, 2025 (the “Effective Date”). Upon assuming this role, he will also assume the duties of the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

Prior to his appointment, Mr. Hutchby served as the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary from June 2019 to June 2025 of Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation, a publicly-traded residential real estate finance company listed on the New York Stock Exchange focused on acquiring, investing in and managing residential mortgage assets in the United States. Mr. Hutchby also served as the Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation’s Controller from October 2013 to June 2019. Prior to joining the Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation and for a period contemporaneously therewith, Mr. Hutchby also served as Vice President, Capital Markets at Freedom Mortgage specializing in mergers and acquisitions, corporate development and capital raising from 2013 to 2024. From 2011 to 2012, Mr. Hutchby worked at Sterne, Agee & Leach, where he was an investment banking senior associate in the Financial Institutions Group, and from 2009 to 2011, Mr. Hutchby was a Vice President, M&A and Strategic Advisory at Madison Place Partners, Inc., an asset management consultancy specializing in mortgage related risk and servicing products. Prior to that, Mr. Hutchby held various positions at Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, and Sungard Energy Systems. Mr. Hutchby has a B.A. in Economics from The Johns Hopkins University and an M.B.A. from the Stern School of Business at New York University.

Mr. Hutchby will be an employee of Marblegate Asset Management, LLC (“MAM”), an affiliate of the Company and our external manager. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement dated April 7, 2025, by and between the Company and MAM, the Company has agreed to reimburse MAM for the Company’s allocable share of Mr. Hutchby’s salary and other compensation paid by MAM, based on the percentage of Mr. Hutchby’s time spent on our affairs. The amount of any of Mr. Hutchby’s wages, salaries and benefits paid or reimbursed by the Company to MAM is subject to the approval of the compensation committee of the Board. In addition, Mr. Hutchby will be eligible to participate in equity incentive plans of the Company, if adopted in the future.

Contemporaneously with the effectiveness of Mr. Hutchby’s appointment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, the Company expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Hutchby in the form filed as Exhibit 10.14 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2025.

There are no other arrangements or understandings between Mr. Hutchby and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Hutchby was appointed to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Hutchby and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. Mr. Hutchby has no direct or indirect material interest in any existing or currently proposed transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
