Specialty distributor Fathom Entertainment announced Wednesday that CEO Ray Nutt plans to step down from the company and retire later this year. Nutt, an exhibition vet who has served as chief executive officer for the past nine years, will play an active role in helping the board of directors find a replacement.

“I’m very anxious to finish my time at Fathom, giving my input to ensure that we get the right leader moving forward,” Nutt told Variety. “I’m excited about that because whoever does get the position, in my opinion, is going to be a very lucky person with tons of runway ahead of them to do all the things that Fathom deserves moving forward.”
