Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 15, 2025, Neogen Corporation (the “Company”) announced that David Naemura, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, communicated his intention to resign and pursue other opportunities to the Company on September 12, 2025. This decision is not due to any disagreement regarding the Company’s operations, financial statements, accounting policies or internal controls.
Mr. Naemura will continue to serve in his existing roles until his departure, which is expected to occur between the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q in October and the end of the calendar year.
The Compensation and Talent Management Committee of the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for Mr. Naemura to assist with onboarding of a new Chief Financial Officer. The Company has entered into a transition agreement with Mr. Naemura that provides that, if he remains employed at the Company through December 31, 2025, in addition to his current base compensation, Mr. Naemura is eligible to receive 50% of his annual target cash bonus under the Company’s annual incentive compensation plan.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
