Bowhead Specialty Holdings Inc. Director Zhak Cohen Resigns

What Happened
Bowhead Specialty Holdings Inc. (BOW) filed an 8-K (Item 5.02) reporting that director Zhak Cohen resigned from the Company's Board effective August 17, 2026. Mr. Cohen had been one of GPC Partners Investments (SPV III) LP’s nominees to the Board under a Board Nominee Agreement dated May 23, 2024. The filing states his resignation followed his departure from Gallatin Point Capital LLC earlier in the summer and that there were no disagreements with Bowhead regarding its operations, policies or practices.

Key Details

• Effective date of resignation: August 17, 2026.
• Director who resigned: Zhak Cohen, a nominee of GPC Partners Investments (SPV III) LP (“GPC Fund”).
• Nomination basis: Rights under the Board Nominee Agreement between Bowhead and GPC Fund dated May 23, 2024.
• Reason given: Resignation in connection with Mr. Cohen’s departure from Gallatin Point Capital LLC; filing states no disagreement with the Company.
• 8-K filed and signed by H. Matthew Crusey, General Counsel and Secretary, dated August 19, 2026.

Why It Matters
A board resignation changes Bowhead’s board composition and governance profile. Because Mr. Cohen was a nominee of GPC Fund (which is managed by Gallatin), investors should watch for subsequent disclosures about any replacement nominee or other board changes that may be filed by the company. This 8-K provides the official, non-disagreement rationale for the departure and documents the company’s compliance with SEC reporting requirements.
