Key Details

• Director: Stacy Hock notified the Board on January 28, 2026 she will not seek re-election.
• Board role: Will continue to serve until her term expires at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
• Committees: Remains a member of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee through the Annual Meeting.
• Cause: The company confirmed her decision was not the result of any disagreement with the company’s operations, policies, or practices. Filing signed by President & CEO John Turner (filed Feb 2, 2026).

Why It Matters
A director choosing not to stand for re-election affects board composition and could change committee membership after the Annual Meeting. Because the company explicitly says the departure is not due to any disagreement, this is not a governance red flag; however, investors should watch proxy materials and the Annual Meeting for any announced nominees or changes to oversight roles that could influence governance or strategic oversight.
