Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc. Appoints New Chief Compliance Officer

What Happened
Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc. filed an 8-K reporting that on August 3, 2026 its Board unanimously appointed Ben Wiesenfeld as Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), effective immediately. Wiesenfeld succeeds Scott Betz in the CCO role; Mr. Betz, age 48, will continue to serve as an officer of the company in the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) effective August 3, 2026. The filing notes Wiesenfeld had served as CCO and General Counsel of Palmer Square Capital Management LLC since 2025 and was previously CCO, Funds and Broker-Dealer, at Pacific Life (June 2020–Nov 2025).

Key Details

• Appointment effective date: August 3, 2026; Board action was unanimous.
• Ben Wiesenfeld (age 48): CCO & General Counsel of PSCM since 2025; J.D. from University of Denver; B.A. from University of Wisconsin–Madison.
• Scott Betz (age 48): has been the Company’s COO since 2019; previously served as PSCM CCO (Mar 2018–Mar 2021); MBA and B.A. from University of Missouri–Kansas City.
• Filing states there are no reportable arrangements, family relationships, or related-party transactions requiring disclosure under Regulation S‑K rules.

Why It Matters
A CCO change is a governance and regulatory oversight event: the CCO is responsible for ensuring the company complies with securities laws and internal compliance policies. The filing indicates an orderly transition with the former CCO (Betz) remaining as COO, which suggests continuity in operations and compliance oversight. For investors, this is a non-financial, governance update; no compensation changes or related-party transactions were disclosed in the 8‑K.
