Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced today the appointment of Jonathan Brudnick, a partner at Sachem Head Capital, to its Board of Directors. Brudnick will serve as a Class III Director for the term ending in 2027 and will sit on the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The appointment is effective immediately.
Brudnick brings extensive capital‑markets and transaction experience from his tenure at Sachem Head Capital, where he has advised on private‑equity and public‑market deals. His background is expected to add a new perspective to Six Flags’ governance and capital‑allocation decisions. The company highlighted his expertise as a key reason for the appointment.
With Brudnick’s addition, the Six Flags Board expands from 12 to 13 directors, 11 of whom are independent. The company also confirmed that executive chairman Selim Bassoul and lead independent director Daniel J. Hanrahan will step down from the Board effective December 31 2025, after which the Board will shrink to 11 directors, 10 of whom will be independent. A cooperation agreement with Sachem Head, including stand‑still and confidentiality provisions, will be filed on a Form 8‑K with the SEC.
The board refresh signals Six Flags’ intent to strengthen governance as it continues its post‑merger transformation. Adding a director with deep capital‑markets experience positions the company to better navigate future financing and strategic initiatives. The change also aligns with the company’s broader goal of enhancing value creation for shareholders as it enters the next chapter of growth.
