Key Details

• Douglas G. Thompson’s resignation effective date: March 31, 2026.
• Garold Spindler’s Interim CEO effective date: April 1, 2026; appointment governed by an employment agreement dated March 27, 2026.
• Spindler’s annual base salary as Interim CEO: $1,250,000 (prorated for 2026); eligible for short‑term incentives and employee benefits but not eligible for any long‑term incentive plan.
• Termination by either party requires 30 days’ written notice; post‑termination non‑compete and non‑solicit restrictions of one year apply.

Why It Matters

• This is a material leadership change affecting executive management and board leadership; investors should note the immediate continuity plan (an experienced former CEO as Interim CEO) and a concurrent board chair change.
• The new Interim CEO’s compensation is cash‑based with no long‑term incentive eligibility, which may affect equity dilution and executive alignment.
• The filing signals a transition period while the company operates under interim leadership; investors may watch for further announcements about a permanent CEO search, strategic direction, or any operational changes.
