LKQ CORP 8-K

What Happened
LKQ Corporation (LKQ) filed an 8-K on March 6, 2026 (Item 5.02) stating that Patrick Berard notified the company on March 3, 2026 that he will decline to be nominated for re-election to the Board of Directors. Mr. Berard will continue to serve as a director until the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, expected in May 2026. The report was signed by Matthew J. McKay, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Filing: Form 8-K, Item 5.02 (Departure of Directors or Certain Officers).
• Notification date: March 3, 2026; 8-K filed March 6, 2026.
• Director: Patrick Berard declined nomination for re-election.
• Effective timing: Will remain a director until the 2026 Annual Meeting (expected May 2026). No successor or other board changes were reported in the filing.

Why It Matters
A board member choosing not to stand for re-election can affect board composition, governance and investor perception. The filing provides a clear timeline (service through the May 2026 annual meeting) but does not identify a replacement or changes to leadership roles, so investors should watch upcoming proxy materials and the annual meeting notice for any nominations or board updates.
