The company has begun a search for a replacement and may, if needed, retain Ms. Hawkins as a consultant after the effective date to assist with the transition.

Key Details

• Notification date: June 12, 2026; 8-K filed: June 17, 2026.

Why It Matters A CFO transition can affect financial reporting, investor communications and internal controls, so investors should monitor how Optex manages the search and handover. The multi-month notice and possible consultant role reduce immediate disruption risk, and the company’s statement that there are no disagreements or accounting issues lowers the likelihood of near-term surprises tied to governance or financial integrity. Watch for announcements of a successor or interim arrangements that could affect execution or guidance.
