8X8 INC /DE/ 8-K

What Happened
8x8, Inc. announced on March 11, 2026 that Suzanne Seandel intends to resign as Chief Accounting Officer and principal accounting officer at a mutually agreed date currently expected in mid‑April 2026. The resignation is not due to any disagreement with the company. The company will begin a formal search for her successor. 8x8 and Ms. Seandel expect to enter a consulting arrangement for her to assist the company through May 31, 2026 while the company prepares its Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Effective on the separation date, Kevin Kraus, the company’s Chief Financial Officer, will be appointed principal accounting officer.

Key Details

• Suzanne Seandel notified the company on March 11, 2026; expected separation in mid‑April 2026.
• Seandel and 8x8 expect a consulting arrangement through May 31, 2026 to support filing the FY2026 Form 10‑K.
• Kevin Kraus (56) will assume the principal accounting officer role effective the separation date; he has been permanent CFO and principal financial officer since June 5, 2023 (previously Interim CFO Nov 2022–Jun 2023).
• No new compensation arrangements were entered for Kraus in connection with this appointment; the filing reports no disagreements with management as the reason for Seandel’s resignation.

Why It Matters
This is an internal leadership change in 8x8’s finance and accounting function ahead of the company’s fiscal year‑end reporting. Investors should note the transition timing (mid‑April 2026) and the consulting overlap through May 31, 2026 designed to support the company’s FY2026 Form 10‑K filing. The appointment keeps financial reporting continuity by assigning both principal financial and accounting officer responsibilities to the existing CFO, and the company has begun a search for a new CAO.
