LAS VEGAS, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GBank Financial Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GBFH) (“GBFH” and together with GBank, a wholly owned subsidiary of GBFH, the “Company”), today announced that the Board of Directors of GBFH (the “Board”) has unanimously approved its planned leadership succession. Edward Nigro, the Company’s Founder, Executive Chair, and Chief Executive Officer, has transitioned to the Board and has stepped down as Executive Chair and director of GBank. Jeff Newgard, GBank’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. Mr. Newgard has also been appointed as Chairman of the GBank board of directors. Mr. Nigro has served the Company and GBank as the Executive Chairman since GBank’s founding in 2007. During Mr. Nigro’s tenure as Executive Chairman, the Company has grown from $22 million to approximately $1.4 billion in total assets as of June 30, 2026. Mr. Nigro will continue to serve as a director of the Company.

“Ed has achieved remarkable success at the Company and is an invaluable and integral part of our organization. With Ed’s continued guidance and support as a member of the Board, we believe now is the right time to implement this leadership succession,” said James Sims, a director of the Company and incoming Chairman of the Board. “On behalf of the entire Board and our dedicated GBank employees, we thank Ed for his years of service, commitment to innovation, and tenacious belief in the Company’s success.”

Mr. Newgard joined the Company in June 2026 after serving as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Idaho, where he helped grow the institution from approximately $250 million to $1.3 billion in assets before its acquisition by Glacier Bancorp. His experience spans commercial banking, acquisitions, organizational development and the scaling of financial institutions.

“In the short time that Jeff has been at the Company, he has proven himself to be an exceptional leader with significant proven banking expertise. His appointment reflects the confidence he has quickly built with the executive team and the Board. I have deep confidence in Jeff and our path forward,” said William Hornbuckle, a Board member and Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. “I look forward to working with Jeff in his new role and continuing to work alongside Ed. We are all committed to a seamless transition,” concluded Mr. Hornbuckle.

“Ed is a pioneer with an incredible vision of how banking and gaming can be fully integrated and transformed.   I am honored and grateful to serve as GBFH’s next CEO and am committed to a smooth transition by building upon our team to deliver value to our clients and our shareholders,” said Mr. Newgard.

This leadership transition reflects a succession-planning process intended to build on the Company’s existing strengths and capitalize on the future opportunity to scale the Company’s banking and fintech operations and build durable shareholder value. The Company believes the new leadership structure combines proven banking leadership, technology and innovation experience, strong corporate governance and a broad base of industry expertise while preserving the institutional knowledge and entrepreneurial strengths that helped build the Company. The Board reflects that breadth of experience. In addition to Mr. Nigro and Mr. Newgard, the Board is comprised of the following directors:

Minneapolis, MN, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ: SEZL) (Sezzle or Company) today announced that it has filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to charter a national bank, Sezzle Bank, N.A. and applied to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for deposit insurance.

If approved, Sezzle Bank would offer a broad range of banking products and services, including FDIC-insured deposit accounts, checking and savings accounts, and credit products. Sezzle Bank would focus on digitally native consumers, including those new to credit, and who tend to avoid using more traditional credit products such as credit cards, to provide a choice of lending options.

As a national bank, Sezzle Bank would be subject to ongoing supervision and examination by the OCC, including for safety and soundness, consumer compliance, Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering, and fair lending. Sezzle will apply to become a bank holding company subject to consolidated supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

“Applying for a national bank charter reflects our commitment to operating under the highest standards of federal oversight,” said Charlie Youakim, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of Sezzle. “A charter would allow us to offer a broader set of banking products to people who prefer BNPL and digitally native banking products, with the same federal supervision that applies to every national bank.”

The filing begins Sezzle’s formal charter application process. There is no change for Sezzle customers at this time, and Sezzle will continue working with its existing lending partners. Regulatory approvals are not guaranteed, and Sezzle will provide updates as appropriate.
