Planned CFO retirement gives the board time for a controlled transition.
The filing states that Leanne D. Cunningham notified the company on August 21, 2025 of an intended retirement effective May 1, 2026, providing roughly eight months' notice. That timeline permits the board and management to conduct succession planning and an orderly handover without immediate disruption.
The company also issued a press release on August 25, 2025 (attached as Exhibit 99.1), indicating the decision has been communicated publicly and documented in the 8-K.
Disclosure follows standard Reg FD and 8-K practice; materiality is procedural.
The item is reported under Item 5.02 (retirement of a named officer) with a related Item 7.01 Regulation FD disclosure via press release, and Exhibit 99.1 is furnished. The filing explicitly states the furnished materials are not "filed" for Section 18 purposes, which is standard wording to limit incorporation by reference.
No financial statements, compensatory arrangements, or transition details are provided in this filing.
