Watch for the appointment of a new interim CEO and any strategic shifts under Garg's consolidated control. The activist proxy fight materials (DFAN14A) and recent 13D filings suggest Garg may push for a sale, restructuring, or other transformative action. Monitor for further 8-K filings detailing committee assignments and any material agreements.

Executive Summary
This 8-K/A amends the original 8-K to add Item 404(a) disclosures for newly appointed directors following a successful consent solicitation by founder Vishal Garg. Garg's group removed five directors without cause, leading to the resignation of a sixth director and the removal of the interim CEO. The new board includes two outsiders (Bing Gordon, Steven Sarracino) and two insiders (Paula Tuffin, Nicholas Calamari). The filing confirms a complete boardroom coup by Garg, consolidating control amid an ongoing activist proxy fight.
Key Facts

- Director Hugh Frater resigned on October 1, 2026, effective upon the removal, citing his prior condition that he would resign if Garg assumed an executive role.
- On October 5, 2026, sole remaining director Vishal Garg appointed Bing Gordon, Steven Sarracino, Paula Tuffin (General Counsel), and Nicholas Calamari (employee) to fill vacancies.
- On October 5, 2026, the new board removed Daniel Lewis as Interim CEO; a successor search is underway.
- Bing Gordon holds a consulting agreement with the company and received 20,000 RSUs with a grant-date fair value of $582,200 on February 11, 2026.
- Multiple SC 13D/A filings and DFAN14A proxy fight materials were filed in the preceding 60 days, indicating an escalating activist campaign by Garg.
Financial Impact
No financial figures disclosed in this filing. The boardroom coup and removal of the interim CEO create significant operational uncertainty.
Risk Factors
- Complete board turnover and removal of interim CEO create severe governance instability and execution risk.
- Founder-led board with insider appointments (GC, employee) raises concerns about independent oversight.
- Ongoing activist proxy fight (multiple DFAN14A filings) indicates contested control and potential for further disruption.
- No permanent CEO named; interim leadership vacuum could impair operations and strategic decision-making.
