Rhea-AI Filing Summary

REMSleep Holdings reports the passing of founder, Chairman, and CEO Thomas Wood on February 26, 2026, shortly after achieving FDA clearance and commercial readiness for its DeltaWave Nasal Pillow System. His death created vacancies in both the CEO and Board chair roles.

Effective March 2, 2026, Anita Michaels, Mr. Wood’s sister and now majority shareholder through inherited super-voting preferred shares, elected herself Chairman and added Jeffrey Marshall and Alexander Johnson as directors. The reconstituted Board unanimously ratified these actions.

Jeffrey Marshall was also appointed Chief Executive Officer under an Executive Employment Agreement providing a base salary and performance-based stock options of up to 7% of fully diluted capitalization, subject to milestones and standard termination and severance terms. Alexander Johnson joins as a director with prior advisory experience to the Company on capital formation and governance.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Founder and CEO Thomas Wood’s death removes the company’s central product champion and long-time leader just as commercialization begins, creating strategic and execution risk during a critical phase.

Insights

Founder’s death triggers rapid leadership and control shift.

The company loses its founder and long-time CEO, Thomas Wood, who led product development and FDA clearance efforts. Such a leadership loss can disrupt strategy, especially when it occurs just as commercialization begins, increasing execution uncertainty.

Control consolidates with his sister, Anita Michaels, who inherits super voting preferred shares, becomes Chairman, and reconstitutes the Board. This concentration may reduce minority shareholder influence, though it can also streamline decisions during transition.

New CEO Jeffrey Marshall’s agreement includes options for up to 7% of fully diluted capitalization tied to milestones, aligning incentives but adding potential dilution. Alexander Johnson’s prior advisory role introduces related-party considerations the Board states it has reviewed under existing policies.

Passing of Thomas Wood — Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer

 

REMSleep Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) reports the passing of Thomas Wood, the Company’s founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer, on February 26, 2026. Thomas Wood conceived and developed the DeltaWave® Nasal Pillow System, personally championed the Company’s FDA clearance process through more than four years of regulatory work, and built REMSleep from the ground up. After years of dedicating his career to seeing this product through to FDA clearance and commercial readiness, he passed away at a moment when that work was finally beginning to bear fruit. His contributions to the Company and to the broader field of sleep medicine are lasting, and the Board is committed to honoring that legacy through execution.

 

As a result of Mr. Wood’s passing, vacancies arose in the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.

 

Reconstitution of the Board of Directors

 

Effective March 2, 2026, Anita Michaels, the sole surviving member of the Board following Mr. Wood’s passing, COO, and his sister, who, upon his death, inherited his ownership interest in the Company, including his super voting preferred shares acted by written consent in lieu of a meeting to reconstitute the Board. Mrs. Michaels elected herself as Chairman of the Board and appointed Jeffrey Marshall and Alexander Johnson as directors. The reconstituted Board of Directors thereafter ratified these actions by unanimous written consent on March 2, 2026.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company now consists of:

 

Anita Michaels — Chairman of the Board
   
Jeffrey Marshall — Director and Chief Executive Officer
   
Alexander Johnson — Director
