DALLAS, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beneficient (NASDAQ: BENF) ("Ben" or the "Company"), a technology-enabled platform providing exit opportunities and primary capital solutions and related trust and custody services to holders of alternative assets through its proprietary online platform AltAccess, today announced the separation of the roles of Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Board") and Chief Executive Officer with the appointment of Thomas O.

Mr. Hicks is a private equity pioneer with a decades-long record of success. He founded one of the early prominent private equity firms through which more than $12 billion was raised across six funds, completing more than $50 billion of leveraged acquisitions. Currently, through his family office, Mr. Hicks leads a seasoned team of private equity professionals who specialize in small and middle market transactions in specialty manufacturing, energy, food and beverage, media, and special situations. Mr. Hicks has served on the Board since 2018.

Mr. Hicks said: "I am eager to assume this leadership position and to begin working to realize the Company's full potential. An important first step is to appoint the right Interim CEO. Mr. Silk's belief in the Company's core strategy and significant experience with Beneficient and in financial services makes him the right person to guide us forward as we work to regain momentum and drive shareholder value."

"I am excited to return to Beneficient and work with the Board and leadership team to navigate this transition period in order to position the Company for long term success," Mr. Silk said.

Mr. Silk has more than 20 years of experience in the financial services industry and previously served as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Company, overseeing Beneficient's operations, underwriting, risk, and legal groups, from January 2020 until May 2024. He also served as a member of the Board of Directors from January 2020 until May 2024. Prior to joining the Company in 2020, Mr. Silk was a Partner in the Asset Management Group of international law firm, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, where he worked for more than 13 years. Prior to that position, Mr. Silk was an attorney at international law firm, A&O Shearman LLP.

Throughout his career, Mr. Silk has advised clients on a wide variety of business and legal issues across the alternative assets industry. He has counseled many of the industry's largest and most recognizable public and private asset management firms, including Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, KKR, Brookfield, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. Mr. Silk has extensive expertise on developing alternative asset products and negotiating asset management mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.
