FORUM MARKETS Inc Director Crystal Heter Resigns from Board

What Happened
FORUM MARKETS Inc filed an 8-K (Item 5.02) reporting that Crystal Heter resigned from the Company's Board of Directors and from the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, effective August 19, 2026. The filing states her resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company. Ms. Heter was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Tallgrass Energy, LP on March 27, 2026 and stepped down from the Board to focus on that role.

Key Details

• Resignation effective date: August 19, 2026.
• Committees impacted: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
• Filing: Form 8-K, Item 5.02, filed August 21, 2026.
• Company statement: resignation not due to any disagreement with the Company’s operations, policies, practices or strategy.

Why It Matters
Board departures can affect corporate governance and committee workloads until replacements are named. Because the filing specifies the resignation was not due to any disagreement, this reduces immediate governance risk indicators; however, investors should watch for subsequent disclosures naming a replacement director or committee reshuffling, which the Company may file under future 8-Ks.
