NEW YORK, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marex Group plc (Nasdaq: MRX) (“Marex” or the “Company”), a diversified global financial services platform, announced today that it has received the requisite consents from registered holders of its 6.404% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) to approve certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 4, 2024 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), each between Marex and Citibank, NA, as the trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to the Company’s previously announced solicitation of consents for the Notes (the “Consent Solicitation”). As used in this press release, the term “Group” refers to Marex Group plc, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, as a consolidated entity.
The Consent Solicitation was made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the consent solicitation statement dated May 7, 2026 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), and expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 15, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement, holders of the Notes who validly delivered (and did not validly revoke) consents prior to the Expiration Date will receive a cash payment equal to $1.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (the “Consent Payment”) for which such consents were delivered (and not validly revoked). The Company expects to pay such holders the Consent Payment on May 19, 2026 (the “Settlement Date”). Holders who failed to validly deliver (or who validly revoked) their consents on or prior to the Expiration Date will not be entitled to receive the Consent Payment.
On March 26, 2026, Marex announced its proposal to change the legal domicile of its parent holding company to Bermuda from England and Wales (the “Proposed Redomiciliation”) and to reorganize the Group. If the requisite shareholder, court and regulatory approvals are obtained, the Proposed Redomiciliation will result in the reorganization of all Group subsidiaries into four regional sub-groups (UK, US, EMEA and Rest of World) under a new Bermuda parent holding company (“New ParentCo”).
As previously announced by Marex, consent was sought from holders of the Notes with respect to the Proposed Amendments to align the terms of the Notes and the Indenture with the existing terms of the Company’s recently issued 5.680% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and the relevant indentures governing the 2031 Notes (the “2031 Notes Indenture”). The Proposed Amendments permit a holding company of the Group that is incorporated in the UK overseas territory of Bermuda, such as New ParentCo, to assume the Company’s obligations under the Notes and Indenture, and succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company as issuer and obligor under the Notes and Indenture, in the same manner as such holding company or New ParentCo is permitted under the terms of the 2031 Notes, the Company’s 5.829% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and other SEC-registered structured notes (the “Structured Notes” and, together with the 2031 Notes and the 2028 Notes, the “Other Existing SEC-Registered Notes”) and the relevant indentures governing the Other Existing SEC-Registered Notes (the “Other Existing SEC-Registered Note Indentures”) to assume the Company’s obligations under the Other Existing SEC-Registered Notes and the Other Existing SEC-Registered Note Indentures, and succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company as issuer and obligor thereunder. If the requisite shareholder, court and regulatory approvals are obtained, then, following the Proposed Redomiciliation, New ParentCo may assume the Notes and, upon such assumption, succeed to and be substituted for Marex Group plc, as obligor under and issuer of the Notes.
As reported by the Information and Tabulation Agent, as of the Expiration Date, holders representing in excess of the majority of the outstanding aggregate principal of the Notes validly delivered (and not validly revoked) consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation. The consents received in the Consent Solicitation are sufficient to effect the Proposed Amendments to the indenture governing the Notes. Accordingly, the Company intends to execute and deliver to the Trustee on the Settlement Date, a fourth supplemental indenture to the Indenture (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”) to effect the Proposed Amendments. The Proposed Amendments will become effective and operative upon the execution by the Company and Trustee of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture.
