Hamilton Lane Incorporated: appoints co-CEO

What happened

• On Oct 12, 2026, the board of Hamilton Lane Incorporated announced it appointed Hartley R. Rogers as the company’s co-chief executive officer to serve alongside Juan Delgado-Moreira. Mr. Rogers will continue to serve as chairman of the board but will no longer serve as an executive co-chair.
• The filing says Erik R. Hirsch transitioned from his position as co-CEO to the position of executive co-chair, where he will help lead strategic initiatives to drive the firm’s long-term growth and will remain a member of the board. The filing references biographical and related-party information for Mr. Rogers in the company’s definitive proxy statement filed Jul 23, 2026. The company says it has not entered into any new compensatory arrangements with Mr. Rogers in connection with his new role.

Key details

• Appointment date: Oct 12, 2026; press release announcing the transition was issued Oct 15, 2026.
• The board approved changes to Mr. Hirsch’s compensation: if Mr. Hirsch is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, certain outstanding and unvested time-based and performance-based restricted stock awards, carried interest awards and bonus amounts will be deemed fully vested or payable as of his termination date (performance goals for his LTIP remain subject to vesting based on the company’s actual performance at the end of the applicable performance period).
• The company will provide Mr. Hirsch a new cash incentive award tied to certain future strategic technology investments, with value to be determined by the board; these accelerated vesting/payments and the cash award are subject to Mr. Hirsch’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims. The company expects to enter into a side letter with Mr. Hirsch reflecting these changes and to attach it to its Form 10-Q for the quarter ending Sep 30, 2026.
