Key Details

• Filing: Form 8‑K (Item 5.02) filed Sept. 24, 2026.
• Resignation announced: Sept. 23, 2026; effective date: Oct. 30, 2026.
• Officer: Michael Akkerman — title at Digital Turbine: Chief Business Officer.
• No successor or transition plan was disclosed in the filing. The report was signed by Joshua Kinsell (Interim CFO & Chief Accounting Officer).

Why It Matters

• Executive turnover at the Chief Business Officer level can affect business development, partner relationships, and go‑to‑market execution — areas investors monitor for companies in the adtech/mobile software space.
• Because the company did not name a replacement or provide a transition plan in this 8‑K, investors should watch for follow-up disclosures about succession, any interim coverage, and whether strategy or commercial partnerships are reassigned.
• This is a personnel disclosure (not financial results), but it is material to corporate leadership and operational continuity.
