COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP /DE/ 8-K

What Happened

• Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (CMTL) filed an 8-K dated January 29, 2026 disclosing that director Wendi B. Carpenter notified the company on January 23, 2026 that she will retire and will not stand for re‑election at the Fiscal 2025 Annual Meeting scheduled for March 9, 2026. Ms. Carpenter will continue to serve through the conclusion of her current term. The company and the board stated her decision was not due to any disagreement with the company or the board.

Key Details

• Director: Wendi B. Carpenter notified retirement on January 23, 2026.
• Annual meeting: Fiscal 2025 Annual Meeting scheduled for March 9, 2026.
• Board size: Will be reduced to seven members effective upon the conclusion of Ms. Carpenter’s term at the annual meeting.
• Filing: Form 8-K signed by CFO Michael A. Bondi and filed January 29, 2026 (Item 5.02).

Why It Matters

• This is a governance change: one director is leaving and the board will be smaller (seven members), which can affect board composition and committee assignments.
• The filing states there was no disagreement with management, and no replacement or nomination was announced in this 8‑K, so there is no immediate disclosure of a successor.
• For investors, this is a routine board-level update rather than an operational or financial development; it warrants monitoring for any future announcements about a new director or changes to board committees.
