Marex seeks consents on 6.404% 2029 notes
Marex Group plc has launched a consent solicitation for holders of its 6.404% Senior Notes due 2029 to approve amendments to the existing Indenture.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Marex Group plc has launched a consent solicitation for holders of its 6.404% Senior Notes due 2029 to approve amendments to the existing Indenture.
Holders of record at 5:00 p.m. New York time on May 6, 2026 who deliver consents by 5:00 p.m. on May 15, 2026 may receive a cash payment of $1.00 per $1,000 principal amount. The proposed changes would align the 2029 Notes with Marex’s 2028 and 2031 SEC-registered notes and their indentures.
The amendments are designed to allow a new Bermuda-incorporated holding company to assume Marex’s obligations on the Notes in connection with a proposed redomiciliation, subject to shareholder, court and regulatory approvals and receipt of consents from at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

Insights
Marex is standardizing bond terms to support a planned Bermuda holding-company move.
Marex Group plc is asking holders of its 6.404% Senior Notes due 2029 to approve amendments to the Indenture so these notes mirror the terms of its 2028 and 2031 SEC-registered notes. The changes focus on issuer-substitution mechanics rather than coupon, maturity or ranking.
The key objective is to permit a Bermuda-incorporated holding company, envisioned under Marex’s proposed redomiciliation, to assume obligations on the 2029 Notes and related Indenture, similar to the flexibility already embedded in other Marex notes. This ties the consent process directly to the group reorganization plan.
Noteholders are offered a $1.00 consent fee per $1,000 principal if they were holders of record on May 6, 2026 and deliver consents by the May 15, 2026 expiration. The amendments become binding on all holders once a majority in aggregate principal amount consents and other stated conditions are satisfied.

Marex Group plc Announces Commencement of Consent Solicitation for its 6.404% Senior Notes Due 2029
May 7, 2026
NEW YORK, May 7, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Marex Group plc (Nasdaq: MRX) (“Marex” or the “Company”), a diversified global financial services platform, announced today that it is soliciting consents (the “Consents”) from each registered holder of its 6.404% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) with respect to the adoption of 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, N.A., as the trustee (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 commenced today and will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 15, 2026, unless extended by Marex (such date and time, as the same may be extended, is referred to as the “Expiration Date”). To be eligible to receive a cash payment equal to $1.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Consent Payment”), holders of the Notes as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 6, 2026 (such date and time, including as such date and time may be changed by Marex, from time to time, the “Record Date”) must deliver their consents on or prior to the Expiration Date. Consents may be revoked at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 15, 2026 (the “Revocation Deadline”).
The Consent Solicitation is made solely by means of the consent solicitation statement dated May 7, 2026 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”). Capitalized terms used in this announcement but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Consent Solicitation Statement. The Consent Solicitation Statement contains important information that holders of Notes should carefully review before any decision is made with respect to the Consent Solicitation.
The purpose of the Consent Solicitation is to seek Consents from holders of the Notes with respect to the Proposed Amendments, so as to align the terms of the Notes and the Indenture with the existing terms of the recently issued 2031 Notes (as defined below) and 2031 Notes Indenture (as defined below).
As previously reported, 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. The principal objective of the Proposed Redomiciliation is to facilitate shareholder value creation by: (i) simplifying the Group’s corporate structure and regulatory framework and delivering cost savings and efficiencies by reducing administrative burdens and (ii) aligning the U.S. style corporate law of Bermuda with the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). 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 (U.K., U.S., EMEA and Rest of World) under a new Bermuda parent holding company (“New ParentCo”).
On April 21, 2026, the Company completed its previously announced public offering of the Company’s 5.680% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) issued pursuant to the Base Indenture, as amended by a third supplemental indenture on even date between the Company and Trustee (the “2031 Notes Indenture”). This follows the Company’s public offering of its 5.829% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) completed on May 8, 2025, and other public offerings of its SEC-registered structured notes (“Structured Notes”). Unlike the present Notes and the Indenture, the terms of the 2031 Notes, 2028 Notes and Structured Notes (collectively, the “Other Existing SEC-Registered Notes”) would allow a holding company of the Group that is incorporated in the UK overseas territory of Bermuda to, without the consent of the holders of the Other Existing SEC-Registered Notes, assume the Company’s obligations under the Other Existing SEC-Registered Notes and the relevant indentures governing them (collectively, the “Other Existing SEC-Registered Note Indentures”) and succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company under the Other Existing SEC-Registered Notes and the Other Existing SEC-Registered Note Indentures.
The purpose of the Consent Solicitation is to seek Consents from holders of the Notes with respect to the Proposed Amendments, so as to align the terms of the Notes and the Indenture with the existing terms of the 2031 Notes and 2031 Notes Indenture. The Proposed Amendments would 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 currently permitted under the terms of the Other Existing SEC-Registered Notes and 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, and if the Proposed Amendments are approved, 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. Following the Proposed Redomiciliation, the Company expects to become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of New ParentCo, and New ParentCo’s ordinary shares will be listed on Nasdaq in place of the Company’s ordinary shares.
Once Consents in respect of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (the “Requisite Consents”) have been validly received on or before the Expiration Date and not validly revoked before the Revocation Deadline, and the other conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement are satisfied or waived, the Company intends to execute and deliver to the Trustee a fourth supplemental indenture to the Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) as soon as practicable, which will implement the adoption of the Proposed Amendments.
If the Requisite Consents are obtained, the other conditions are satisfied (or waived) and the Proposed Amendments become effective and operative, all Holders of the Notes will be bound by the terms of the Indenture as amended by the Supplemental Indenture giving effect to the Proposed Amendments, whether or not they deliver Consents. Non-consenting Holders, although bound by the Proposed Amendments, will not be entitled to any Consent Payment.
Marex’s obligation to accept, and pay for, Consents validly delivered and not revoked is conditioned upon satisfaction of certain conditions as described in the Consent Solicitation Statement, including the receipt of the Requisite Consents. The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Consent Solicitation, allow the Consent Solicitation to lapse, extend the Consent Solicitation and continue soliciting Consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation or otherwise amend the terms of the Consent Solicitation, including the waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation. No Consent Payment will be made if the Requisite Consents are not received, if the Consent Solicitation is terminated or if the Supplemental Indenture does not otherwise become effective for any reason.
Marex has retained Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as solicitation agent (the “Solicitation Agent”).
