• Leadership change: Appointing an experienced, externally proven CEO (Mr. Chidsey) and removing the prior CEO from the board may signal strategic or operational shifts; because Mr. Chidsey also remains a director, investors should watch for management commentary, any changes to strategy, and updates to guidance or capital allocation tied to the new leadership.
