previously announced on March 4, 2026, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, David W. Johnson, informed the Company of his intention to retire during the Company’s 2026 fiscal year. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Rahman as the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer and principal accounting and principal financial officer, Mr. Johnson will step down from those roles effective as of June 30, 2026. Mr. Johnson intends to remain an employee of the Company through the remainder of
the Company’s 2026 fiscal year ending on October 2, 2026 to assist in the transition of the roles and duties of Chief Financial Officer to Mr. Rahman.
Mr. Rahman, age 48, joins the Company from Mars, Incorporated, a family-owned company and a global leader in pet care, snacking and food products. Mr.
Rahman has over 25 years of experience in finance and accounting roles. At Mars (and its predecessor company, Kellanova and Kellogs), Mr. Rahman most recently served as Vice President – Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement and R&D since July 2023,
where he oversaw financial operations for North America Manufacturing, Logistics, Warehouse, Procurement and External Manufacturing. From January 2022 through July 2023, Mr. Rahman was Chief Financial Officer of Kellanova’s Away From Home Business
Unit. Prior to his tenure at Mars (and its predecessors’ Kellanova and Kellogs), Mr. Rahman was employed in varying finance roles of increasing responsibility at S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc., a multinational corporation and privately held
manufacturer of household cleaning supplies and other consumer chemicals based in Racine, Wisconsin, from 2005 through 2021. Mr. Rahman was most recently employed at S. C. Johnson as a Senior Director overseeing North America FP&A and Sales from
September 2020 through December 2021.
In connection with Mr. Rahman’s appointment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, he will receive an award with the value of such award being
$200,000 of Company restricted stock pursuant to the Company’s Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan. The number of shares will be determined by using the average of the high and low of the Company’s stock price as of the grant date of June 30, 2026. Such
