Election Scheduled for June Shareholders Meeting

Grindr Inc. Has nominated Rob Solomon, Lisa Gersh, and Fadi Hanna to its Board of Directors. Elections will occur at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 2, 2026.

Rob Solomon is an experienced technology CEO and currently leads H55, a company specialising in electric aviation. He previously transformed GoFundMe into a leading personal giving platform and held leadership roles at Groupon and Kayak-predecessor SideStep.

Lisa Gersh brings extensive experience in managing consumer brands and media companies. She has served as CEO of GOOP and Alexander Wang and has been on the board of Hasbro since 2010.

Fadi Hanna, Chief Risk Officer at Bloomberg L.P., has a strong background in risk management and compliance. He previously worked at J.P. Morgan and served on the board of Immigration Equality.

Strengthening Governance and Expertise

George Arison, CEO of Grindr, explained, “Over the last few years, we built a strong foundation for Grindr as a public company. Now we’re strengthening the Board for the next chapter – adding more strategic and operating depth and governance experience.”

J. Michael Gearon Jr., Lead Independent Director at Grindr, highlighted the importance of the new nominations, stating, “The nomination of Rob, Lisa, and Fadi reflects our continued focus on strong, independent governance.”

Grindr conducted a comprehensive director search, engaging established search firms to identify candidates with the expertise needed for the company’s next phase. Solomon, Gersh, and Hanna were selected from a diverse pool of candidates.

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 2, 2026, is a significant date for Grindr’s future governance structure. This meeting will determine the strategic direction as the company aims to strengthen its Board with experienced leaders.

Rob Solomon’s experience includes scaling technology platforms with over 25 years in the field. As Chairman and CEO of GoFundMe, he oversaw billions in donations that supported various causes. His leadership at H55 focuses on expanding sustainable aviation technologies in the U.S.

Lisa Gersh, with her extensive experience in consumer brands and media, has been instrumental in leading businesses like Oxygen Media. Her role on the Hasbro board since 2010 further exemplifies her governance expertise.

Fadi Hanna’s oversight of enterprise risk at Bloomberg L.P. Is complemented by his previous roles at J.P. Morgan. His experience in risk management is expected to bring valuable insights to Grindr’s Board.
