Loop Industries, Inc. announced that its Board increased by one seat and appointed Jeffrey R. Geygan as a director, effective June 22, 2026. Mr. Geygan, age 61, will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and has been determined to qualify as an “independent director” under Nasdaq rules. He currently serves as Interim CEO of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (Nasdaq: RMCF) and has extensive prior executive, board and investment management experience, including founding and leading Global Value Investment Corporation (GVIC).

Why It Matters
Board composition and independence affect corporate governance and oversight. Loop’s addition of an experienced, independent director with finance and CEO experience is a governance change investors should note. The RSU award and compensation follow the company’s standard non-employee director arrangements and are disclosed in the filing, so investors can gauge the direct cost and terms of the appointment.
