New York, August 24, 2026 - Moelis & Company (NYSE: MC), a leading global independent investment bank, today announced the appointment of Russell Mason as a Managing Director in its Capital Structure Advisory Group. Based in Dallas, Russell will advise companies and creditors on complex restructuring and capital structure matters.

Russell brings more than 20 years of finance and investment banking experience, with deep expertise in restructuring and distressed M&A. He joins Moelis from Houlihan Lokey's Financial Restructuring Group, where he advised debtors and creditors across a wide range of industries.

"Clients are increasingly evaluating a broader range of solutions to address complex capital structures, often well before a traditional restructuring becomes necessary," said Barak Klein and Zul Jamal, Co-Heads of U.S. Capital Structure Advisory at Moelis. "Russell's experience across restructuring, M&A and capital raising complements our existing capabilities and strengthens our ability to help clients evaluate their options and identify the right path forward."

Navid Mahmoodzadegan, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Moelis, said, "Russell is an exceptional banker with deep client relationships and a strong track record of advising on complex and transformative situations. His breadth of experience and perspective will make him a tremendous addition to the Capital Structure Advisory team and further strengthen the advice we deliver across the Firm."
