WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMG) today announced that Patrick T. Ryan has decided to resign from its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Mr. Ryan has served on AMG’s Board for 15 years and currently serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Press Ganey Associates LLC, a high growth healthcare technology and services company which was recently acquired by Leonard Green & Partners and Ares Management.

“On behalf of our Board and AMG’s management team, we thank Pat for his service and longstanding commitment to the Company,” stated Jay C.
