Definitive Healthcare Corp. 8-K

What Happened Definitive Healthcare Corp. announced via Form 8-K (filed April 9, 2026) that Jeff Haywood, the Spectrum designee on its board, resigned on March 30, 2026. On April 3, 2026 the company and SE VII DHC AIV, L.P. (“Spectrum”) entered into a termination agreement that permanently and irrevocably terminated the Nominating Agreement that had governed Spectrum’s right to nominate a director.

Key Details

• Nominating Agreement originally dated September 17, 2021.
• Spectrum (and its affiliates) had the right to designate one board nominee so long as it beneficially owned at least 5% of outstanding common stock.
• Spectrum’s designee, Jeff Haywood, resigned on March 30, 2026.
• Termination agreement executed April 3, 2026; 8-K filed April 9, 2026 under Item 1.02.

Why It Matters The termination ends Spectrum’s contractual right to nominate a director on Definitive Healthcare’s board, removing a governance link between the company and a significant shareholder or investor group. For investors, this is a material governance update—potentially affecting board composition and shareholder influence—but the filing contains no financial figures, replacements, or further corporate changes.
