Key Details

• CFO resignation: George O’Leary, effective August 26, 2026; resignation not due to any disagreement with management or the Board.
• New CFO: Tim S. Ledwick (68); served as CFO of Dominari Holdings since Oct 2025; prior CFO and board experience across public and private companies; member of Connecticut Society of CPAs; B.B.A. (George Washington Univ.), M.S. in Finance (Fairfield Univ.).

• Related-party note: Dominari Securities LLC (a Dominari Holdings subsidiary) served as a co-book-running manager and representative of the underwriters in the Company’s IPO. The filing states there are no family relationships or transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S‑K for either appointee, and no arrangements or understandings that led to their appointments.
• The company furnished a press release dated August 26, 2026 reporting these changes.

Why It Matters
A change in the CFO is material for investors because it affects financial leadership and reporting oversight; Tim Ledwick’s extensive CFO and audit committee experience signals continuity in financial management. The appointments also add an operational leader (COO), which may impact execution of operations and integration efforts. Investors should note the disclosed connection to Dominari Holdings (and its securities affiliate’s role in the IPO) but also that the filing states no related-party transactions requiring disclosure and no disagreements prompted the resignation — indicating an orderly transition rather than a governance dispute.
