• The company said Mr. Thacker is leaving to pursue other opportunities and that his departure is not due to any disagreement with the company regarding operations, financial statements, or accounting policies. Rent the Runway is conducting a search for a new CFO.

Key Details

• Resignation tendered: May 18, 2026; effective: on or about June 3, 2026.
• Timing: departure follows the company’s Q1 FY2026 earnings announcement.
• Reason given: to pursue other opportunities; explicitly not due to any disagreement with the company.
• Filing also includes a Regulation FD forward‑looking statements disclosure noting risks tied to the CEO/CFO search, management transitions, and FY2026 guidance; see the company’s Form 10‑K for year ended January 31, 2026 for additional risk factors.

Why It Matters

• A CFO departure is a material leadership change that can affect investor confidence in financial stewardship and the company’s near-term reporting and guidance processes. The company’s confirmation that the exit is not due to disagreements reduces one potential red flag.
• Investors should watch the upcoming Q1 FY2026 earnings release and any subsequent updates on interim finance leadership or the CFO search for indications about continuity in financial reporting and guidance.
