ServiceNow, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• ServiceNow filed an 8‑K on Feb 11, 2026 disclosing that the Board appointed Danielle Fontaine as Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller, effective Feb 17, 2026. Kevin McBride, the Company’s prior Chief Accounting Officer, was promoted to Executive Vice President, Accounting and Corporate Services, effective Feb 17, 2026. Fontaine previously served as Assistant Controller at ServiceNow (since Sept 2021) and held accounting roles at Alphabet, Gap and Ernst & Young.

Key Details

• Annual base salary for Danielle Fontaine: $420,000.
• Target annual cash bonus: 40% of base salary.
• Equity award: $1,250,000 in restricted stock units (RSUs) that vest in equal quarterly installments over four years (16 quarters), subject to continued employment.
• No related‑party arrangements, no family relationships with ServiceNow directors/executive officers, and Fontaine executed the company’s standard officer indemnification agreement.

Why It Matters

• This is an accounting leadership succession: an internal promotion to CAO with the prior CAO moved into a broader executive role, signaling continuity in the company’s accounting and corporate services functions.
• Compensation and RSU details are material to governance and may have modest ongoing expense and dilution implications over the vesting period.
• The filing contains no disclosure of related‑party transactions or conflicts tied to the appointment, which investors often watch for when senior finance roles change.
