Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: orderly executive transition with CEO assuming interim CFO duties; board initiated external search for permanent CFO.

The filing describes a managed departure of the CFO with a formal Separation Agreement providing continued pay and benefits through the Transition Period and severance under the companys executive plan. Designating the CEO as interim CFO centralizes financial and operational authority temporarily and avoids an immediate external hire under pressure. The document confirms customary continuing obligations for the departing executive and indicates the company will file the full Separation Agreement later for transparency.

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: functional continuity preserved; CRO hire announced to support revenue operations while CFO search proceeds.

The interim CFO appointment and ongoing search for a permanent finance chief suggest continuity in financial oversight. The company also announced an incoming Chief Revenue Officer effective as stated, which addresses go-to-market leadership. The filing does not disclose financial impacts, change-in-control triggers, or severance amounts, limiting visibility into potential near-term cost or reporting effects.

On September 3, 2025, the Company announced that Manish Sarin, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, will leave the Company on September 19, 2025 (the “Transition Date”). Mr. Sarin has advised the Company that his departure is not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the operations, policies, or practices of the Company.

In connection with Mr. Sarin’s transition, the Company expects to enter into a transition, separation and release of claims agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Mr. Sarin, pursuant to which Mr. Sarin will remain with the Company through the Transition Date (such period, the “Transition Period”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, during the Transition Period, Mr. Sarin will continue to be paid at his current base salary rate and will remain eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans pursuant to the terms of those plans. At the end of the Transition Period, Mr. Sarin will receive severance benefits consistent with the Company’s Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan, as amended from time to time. Mr. Sarin also will continue to be subject to customary continuing obligations post-employment, such as his obligations of confidentiality and to abide by applicable restrictive covenants.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the complete text of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which the Company expects to file with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending October 31, 2025, and upon filing will be incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with Mr. Sarin’s departure, on September 2, 2025, the Board designated Rory Read, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and principal executive officer, as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer on an interim basis, effective as of the Transition Date. The Company has initiated a search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer.

The biography for Mr. Read is contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2025. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Read and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, and there is no family relationship between Mr. Read and any of the Company’s other executive officers or directors. There are no transactions between Mr. Read and the Company that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
