Bath & Body Works, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Bath & Body Works, Inc. filed an 8-K (May 27, 2026) disclosing a change in finance leadership and furnishing results of operations and financial condition. Eva C. Boratto notified the company on May 20, 2026 that she will resign to pursue another opportunity, with her last day and the transition date set for June 12, 2026. The Board approved Tom Javitch as Interim Chief Financial Officer and D. Andrew Meeting as Senior Vice President, Controller and Principal Accounting Officer, effective June 12, 2026. The filing also included a Regulation FD disclosure and a press release as Exhibit 99.1.

Key Details

• Eva C. Boratto provided notice of resignation on May 20, 2026; transition date (last day) is June 12, 2026.
• Tom Javitch (age 56) will serve as Interim CFO; he has 16+ years at Bath & Body Works (25 years including L Brands/legacy roles) and most recently was Executive Vice President of Brand Finance. He will receive a one‑time equity award and a monthly stipend while serving as Interim CFO.
• D. Andrew Meeting (age 52) will be Senior VP, Controller and Principal Accounting Officer; he has ~8 years at the company (22 years including L Brands/legacy roles), started as an auditor at Ernst & Young, and most recently was Senior VP and Controller. His offer letter provides: $500,000 annual base salary, a target annual cash incentive equal to 50% of base, eligibility for the 2020 Stock Option and Performance Incentive Plan, and standard health/welfare/retirement benefits.
• The filing states there are no other arrangements or family relationships related to these appointments and no reportable related‑party transactions under Item 404(a).

Why It Matters

• A CFO transition is material for investors because finance leadership manages quarterly reporting, earnings communications and financial controls. The company also disclosed results of operations and financial condition in the same filing (see Exhibit 99.1/press release), so investors should review the press release and upcoming 10-Q for full quarterly results (revenue, earnings, cash flow) and any impacts on guidance.
• Appointing an internal interim CFO and promoting an internal controller suggests continuity in financial operations and reporting, while the disclosed compensation terms clarify near‑term cost and incentive expectations.
