ZimCal Demands Medallion Financial Corp Board Protect Stakeholders in Sec Lawsuit The SEC lawsuit may finally be close to resolution as the screws are being tightened on defendants Medallion Financial Corp. (the Company or MFIN) and Andrew Murstein, MFIN’s COO & President. The defendants find themselves completely isolated with shrinking options. To prevent Murstein’s value-destroying behavior from ever being repeated company demand that MFIN’s board of directors make the following stockholder-friendly changes to restore investor confidence: Declassify the Board which would allow stockholders to vote in (or out) ALL 8 directors annually, instead of just the 2 or 3 directors per year currently. Separate the Board chairperson and CEO roles, which are both currently held by Andrew Murstein’s father. Appoint an independent director to Board chairperson. Establish a mandatory board retirement age limit of 75years old to promote board refreshment. Decrease effective family control of the board by reducing Murstein family directors or increasing the number of independent directors. Murstein family members make up 3 of 8 board members. Initiate an independent 3 party investigation into Andrew Murstein’s behavior related to the SEC lawsuit. Reduce MFIN’s bylaw change requirements to a simple majority of eligible voting stock from the current 75% of eligible voting stock, shifting greater power to independent stockholders. On September 18, 2024, Judge Lewis Kaplan, a senior judge with 30 years of service on the US District Court Southern District of New York, denied the majority of the defendants’ (namely MFIN and Andrew Murstein) motion to dismiss the SEC lawsuit against them. The lawsuit alleges Murstein inflated asset values, committed fraud, lied to auditors, and directed stock touting amongst other violations. The next phase in the lawsuit would have allowed the SEC to probe in far more detail all MFIN’s relevant communications and potentially question under oath Company management, Board members and key individuals. On December 5, the SEC announced that Larry Meyers, a co-defendant, had reached a settlement in principle, which if approved will leave the Company and Murstein facing the charges alone with Meyers potentially cooperating with the SEC. Unsurprisingly, the SEC then added that “SEC counsel has been engaged in settlement discussions with counsel for the Medallion Defendants [MFIN and Murstein], and the parties have made progress in their discussions.” On December 20, 2024 the SECannounced that “settlement agreements in principle… have been reached [with MFIN and Murstein]” with an effective deadline of February 25, 2025 for the agreement to be finalized.
