[8-K] CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. reported that its Board of Directors has amended the company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The change removes limits on the number of years a director may serve on the Board, while keeping in place the existing requirement that directors retire upon reaching age 75.

The company states that it remains committed to ongoing Board refreshment, while also maintaining continuity and the experience of its independent directors. It explains that, consistent with the practice of the majority of its peers and most S&P 500 companies, it believes Board tenure is best managed on a case-by-case basis rather than through a fixed term limit.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 4, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”) to remove the limits on the number of years a Board member may serve on the Board. The Corporate Governance Guidelines continue to require that Board members retire from the Board upon reaching age 75. The Company is committed to ongoing Board refreshment while maintaining continuity and the experience of its independent Board members, and consistent with the practice of the majority of its peers and most of the S&P 500, believes this is best achieved on a case-by-case basis without a specified limit on a Board member’s tenure.
