Hilltop Holdings Inc. (HTH) Form SCHEDULE 13D/A — Oct 16, 2026
Billionaire banking legend Gerald J. Ford, via counsel Wilson Chu of Dechert LLP, delivered a letter to Hilltop Holdings' board demanding the CEO and Chairman roles be split, citing Jeremy Ford's dual service as President/CEO-Chairman while suing his own father. Ford beneficially owns 27.3% of Hilltop (15,651,330 shares), making him the largest shareholder, and requested a prompt board investigation. The dispute stems from Jeremy Ford's Texas litigation seeking a declaration of his father's incompetence to accelerate control of family partnerships, including a demand to void the $80 million repayment of notes owed to Hunter's Glen/Ford Ltd.
