Slam Corp ( (SLAMF) ) has provided an announcement.

On March 2, 2026, Slam Corp underwent a sweeping leadership overhaul, as Alex Rodriguez and several other directors resigned from the board, Rodriguez stepped down as chief executive, and Ryan Bright resigned as chief financial officer, with the company noting no disagreements regarding operations or policies. The same day, Maulin Shah was appointed executive chairman, Joseph Buttram chief executive officer, and Raoul Scott chief financial officer, joining a newly expanded board that includes crypto, DeFi, and capital markets specialists such as Karen Snow, Michael Frisch, Kain Warwick, and Bright, reshaping the company’s governance and signaling a more crypto-focused strategic direction.

The board’s audit committee was reconstituted with Warwick as chair and Frisch as a member, consolidating oversight in directors versed in both financial services and digital assets. Also on March 2, 2026, Slam Corp and BTIG, LLC executed a new fee waiver agreement under which BTIG permanently waived its deferred underwriting commission in exchange for a contingent right to receive 20,000 Class A shares upon completion of the company’s initial business combination, replacing an earlier conditional waiver tied to the now-terminated 2025 Lynk Global deal and potentially improving economics for other stakeholders in a future transaction.
