ENTRAVISION COMMUNICATIONS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• On February 19, 2026 Entravision Communications Corporation (EVC) terminated the employment of Jeffery Liberman, who served as President and Chief Operating Officer, effective immediately.
• The company said Mr. Liberman will be entitled to severance and benefits only as provided under the company’s Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan (as a “Group II executive” without “cause”), subject to his signing a release; he is not entitled to any additional severance beyond the plan and a previously filed amendment letter.
• Also on February 19, 2026, Entravision appointed Mark Boelke (age 54) as Chief Operating Officer effective immediately, in addition to his current role as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Boelke has been CFO since May 2024, was General Counsel and Secretary from 2006, and joined the company in 2005.

Key Details

• Termination date: February 19, 2026; departing executive: Jeffery Liberman (President & COO).
• Severance: Governed by the company’s Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan (Group II executive, without cause), subject to execution of a release; no additional severance beyond the plan and an April 7, 2025 amendment.
• New appointment: Mark Boelke named COO while retaining CFO duties; Boelke’s tenure at Entravision began in 2005 and includes roles as General Counsel/Secretary and CFO (since May 2024).
• Corporate filing signed on February 20, 2026 by CEO Michael Christenson.

Why It Matters

• This is a material leadership change: the company removed its President & COO and consolidated COO responsibilities with the sitting CFO. That could affect operational oversight and execution given Boelke’s dual CFO/COO responsibilities.
• The filing does not disclose cash amounts for severance; any direct financial impact will depend on the severance plan terms and whether a release is executed.
• Investors should note the company stated there are no related arrangements or family relationships tied to Boelke’s appointment and no reportable transactions requiring Item 404 disclosure. Watch for future filings or disclosures for further details on leadership, compensation, and operational implications.
