LAKE FOREST, IL

PepperBall®, the leader in non-lethal public safety solutions, today announced the appointment of Naomi Schware as Vice President of Marketing. Schware joins the executive leadership team to lead the company’s global brand strategy, product marketing, communications, digital marketing, demand generation, and customer engagement initiatives as PepperBall continues to expand its leadership in de-escalation technologies.

Schware brings more than a decade of experience building and growing brands across the tactical, outdoor, powersports, and western industries. Her career began in the tactical market, where she helped develop global brands before leading integrated B2B and direct-to-consumer marketing strategies for both consumer and professional audiences. Her appointment marks her return to the tactical industry- a move she describes as “coming home”- driven by the PepperBall mission of providing non-lethal solutions that help de-escalate critical situations and protect officers, individuals, and the broader community.

“Naomi is a strategic leader who understands how to build brands with authenticity, purpose, and measurable business impact,” said Bob Plaschke, CEO of PepperBall. “Her experience connecting with diverse audiences, combined with her passion for our mission, makes her an outstanding addition to our leadership team. As PepperBall continues to grow, Naomi’s leadership will help strengthen our brand while ensuring we remain focused on the people we ultimately serve.”

Schware’s marketing philosophy centers on building brands from the end user back to the brand. She believes successful marketing begins with a deep understanding of customer needs, intentional audience segmentation, and delivering meaningful messaging through the right channels. At PepperBall, she will lead efforts to further strengthen the company’s brand while navigating the unique perspectives of its diverse customer base and reinforcing the organization’s position as the global leader in non-lethal de-escalation solutions.

“I couldn’t be more excited to join PepperBall,” said Schware. “Returning to the tactical industry feels like coming full circle, but what truly drew me back was the company’s purpose.

PepperBall isn’t simply manufacturing products, it’s creating solutions that help people make better decisions during critical moments. That’s a mission worth building a brand around.” Beyond her professional experience, Schware brings a unique combination of leadership and life experience to PepperBall. Her military service and experience leading global marketing teams have shaped her leadership philosophy, strengthened her ability to understand audiences from all backgrounds, and reinforced her belief that resilient teams, shared purpose, and authentic storytelling build enduring brands. “PepperBall has built an incredible reputation through innovation, trust, and a relentless commitment to its customers,” Schware added. “I’m excited to partner with this talented team to continue telling that story, strengthening our relationships with every audience we serve, and supporting the company’s next phase of growth.”

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Pan Ocean Capital has entered into a strategic partnership with TMGM, one of the world’s leading multi-asset brokerage firms, to expand access to the MARIA91 Investment Platform across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

The partnership establishes a long-term strategic relationship that combines Pan Ocean Capital’s investment expertise with TMGM’s global brokerage infrastructure to deliver institutional-quality investment solutions to professional investors and qualified clients.

The MARIA91 Investment Platform comprises two complementary investment solutions designed to meet the diverse requirements of professional investors while maintaining a single, disciplined investment philosophy.

Under the agreement, TMGM will introduce MARIA91 Hedge Fund S.P. to its network of eligible institutional investors, including family offices, asset managers, investment companies, and other qualified professional investors seeking institutional alternative investment opportunities.

In parallel, Pan Ocean Capital will launch MARIA91 Strategy, a professionally managed account solution available through the TMGM trading platform. Managed exclusively by Pan Ocean Capital, MARIA91 Strategy applies the same investment philosophy, portfolio construction methodology, trading models, portfolio allocation process, and disciplined risk management framework employed by MARIA91 Hedge Fund.

Together, MARIA91 Hedge Fund and MARIA91 Strategy form the MARIA91 Investment Platform, providing investors with access to a consistent institutional investment approach through investment structures designed to accommodate different investor objectives and preferences.

The Asia-Pacific region represents the first phase of this strategic initiative, with additional international markets expected to follow as part of Pan Ocean Capital’s long-term international expansion strategy.

Strengthening Institutional Access

Dimas Putra, Partnership Manager at TMGM, commented:

“We are pleased to establish this strategic partnership with Pan Ocean Capital. By combining TMGM’s global brokerage infrastructure with Pan Ocean Capital’s investment expertise, we are expanding access to sophisticated investment solutions for institutional investors and clients seeking professionally managed investment strategies. We believe this partnership creates a strong foundation for long-term collaboration and future international expansion.”

Built on an Institutional Foundation

Pan Ocean Capital has established a global investment platform founded on institutional governance, disciplined investment management, and long-term value creation.

As of 30 June 2026, Pan Ocean Capital managed approximately US$226 million in assets under management (AUM), reflecting the continued confidence of its clients and the strength of the Company’s research-driven investment approach. Through disciplined capital allocation, robust risk management, and global market expertise, the Company continues to expand its investment platform while delivering institutional-quality investment solutions across international markets.

MARIA91 Hedge Fund S.P. is registered in the Cayman Islands and regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA).

The Fund is administered by Apex Group, one of the world’s leading independent fund administration firms, with Barclays Bank – New York serving as Custodian and Deloitte acting as the independent external auditor.

Designed for professional investors, MARIA91 Hedge Fund targets annual returns of up to 36% while maintaining a disciplined risk management framework targeting a maximum drawdown of 3%. Investors benefit from institutional governance, independent oversight, monthly subscriptions and redemptions, and comprehensive monthly reporting.

The same investment philosophy and institutional framework underpin MARIA91 Strategy, ensuring that managed account clients benefit from the identical portfolio management process, investment methodology, and disciplined risk management standards employed by MARIA91 Hedge Fund.

During its initial launch phase, MARIA91 Hedge Fund has generated more than US$40 million in expressions of investment interest from institutional investors, reflecting growing confidence in Pan Ocean Capital’s investment strategy. These figures represent expressions of investment interest and do not constitute capital already committed or received.

Leadership Perspective

Maria Alhoshani, Chief Executive Officer of Pan Ocean Capital, commented:

“Our partnership with TMGM marks an important milestone in Pan Ocean Capital’s international growth strategy and reflects our shared commitment to expanding access to sophisticated investment solutions across the Asia-Pacific region.”

“The MARIA91 Investment Platform brings together two complementary investment solutions built upon a single investment philosophy. Through TMGM’s institutional network, qualified investors will have access to MARIA91 Hedge Fund, while MARIA91 Strategy delivers the same disciplined investment process through professionally managed accounts on the TMGM platform. Together, these solutions broaden investor access while preserving the governance, portfolio management discipline, and risk management standards that define our platform.”

“At Pan Ocean Capital, our vision extends beyond managing assets. We are building a globally connected investment platform that combines institutional expertise, strategic partnerships, innovation, and disciplined execution to create sustainable long-term value. Our partnership with TMGM represents another important step in that journey as we continue expanding our international presence and delivering investment solutions that meet the evolving needs of investors worldwide.”

Pan Ocean Capital confirmed that additional regional market launches, strategic partnerships, and new investment solutions under the MARIA91 Investment Platform will be announced in the coming months as part of the Company’s long-term international expansion strategy.
