CERUS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• Cerus Corporation (CERS) filed a Form 8-K (Item 5.02) disclosing that on January 19, 2026, director Timothy L. Moore informed the company he will not stand for re-election at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. The 8-K was filed on January 23, 2026 and signed by Chrystal N. Jensen, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel.

Key Details

• Director: Timothy L. Moore, member of the class of directors whose term expires at the 2026 annual meeting.
• Notice date: Mr. Moore informed the company on January 19, 2026.
• Filing date: Form 8-K was filed on January 23, 2026.
• No disagreement: Mr. Moore’s decision was not due to any disagreement with the company regarding its operations, policies, or practices.

Why It Matters

• A director not seeking re-election changes board composition and will reduce the pool of incumbents up for vote at the 2026 annual meeting; shareholders and the company will consider nominees to fill the seat. The filing confirms the departure is voluntary and not tied to disputes over company operations, which may be reassuring to investors monitoring governance risks.
