CASEYS GENERAL STORES INC 8-K

What Happened
Casey's General Stores, Inc. (CASY) filed an 8-K reporting Board changes effective June 4, 2026. The Board expanded from eleven to twelve members and appointed Stanley J. Sutula III to fill the new seat and to serve on the Audit Committee. Mr. Sutula will stand for election at the company’s 2026 annual shareholders’ meeting currently scheduled for September 2, 2026. As a non-employee director, he will receive the same prorated compensation payable to other non-employee directors. Also on June 4, 2026, director Cara Heiden notified the company she will not stand for re-election and will retire when her current term ends at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting; the Board will return to eleven members after that meeting. The filing states Mr. Sutula was not selected pursuant to any arrangements and there are no reportable transactions between him and the company; Ms. Heiden’s retirement is not due to any disagreement with the company.
