Key Details

• Gabe Rene resigned as CEO and as a director effective February 8, 2026.

• Press release announcing changes dated February 10, 2026 (filed as Exhibit 99.1).

Why It Matters

• Leadership turnover at the CEO and board level is material for investors because it can affect company strategy, execution and near-term investor confidence. An interim CEO indicates the company is in a transitional leadership period.
• The filing’s note that resignations were not due to disagreements reduces one potential concern, but investors should watch for further disclosures about the permanent CEO search, any board reappointments, and subsequent operational or strategic updates.
