Redwire Corp 8-K

What Happened

• Redwire Corporation announced on July 10, 2026 that its Board appointed Gregory L. Heston to fill the vacancy created by the previously announced resignation of director David Kornblatt. The appointment is effective July 10, 2026; Mr. Heston will serve as a Class III director with a term expiring at Redwire’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and has been named to the Board’s Audit Committee.

Key Details

• Appointment date: July 10, 2026; term expires at the 2027 Annual Meeting.
• Committee role: Member of the Audit Committee.
• Independence: Board determined Mr. Heston is independent under NYSE standards and Rule 10A‑3 of the Securities Exchange Act.
• Background & qualifications: Retired Ernst & Young audit partner with 38 years in public accounting (24 years as a partner); joined Auburn University as Professor of Practice after retiring in 2024; licensed CPA in Alabama and Georgia; current board service includes Geneva Benefits Group.
• Compensation and protections: Will be paid per the company’s non‑employee director compensation policy and has an Indemnification Agreement in place (form previously filed).

Why It Matters

• The appointment fills an open board seat and adds a director with deep audit, accounting, and financial‑reporting experience to the Audit Committee, which is directly relevant to financial oversight and internal control matters.
• The Board’s determination of independence and absence of reportable related‑party transactions reduces potential governance or conflict concerns for investors.
• For shareholders, this change may strengthen the company’s financial oversight capabilities ahead of the 2027 Annual Meeting; the filing contains no other material financial disclosures.
