Corporate Governance Analyst

Leadership change: Canada head leaving after a reorganization announced Aug 27, 2025.

The company formally notified Scott C. Ride that a personnel reorganization will alter reporting lines and result in his departure on September 29, 2025. This is a discrete governance event recorded via Form 8-K and shows management is changing regional structure.

Because the filing provides no financial terms, successor, or strategic rationale, the immediate investor impact is limited to the confirmed departure date and ongoing separation negotiations.
