A CFO change at a $13M market-cap company that just completed a deeply dilutive offering is routine and not a catalyst. Monitor next 6-K or 20-F for any disclosure of material weakness or auditor changes that would signal distress escalation. The new CFO's capital markets experience (IPOs, M&A) likely signals continued reliance on dilutive financing.

Executive Summary
Core AI Holdings (CHAI) announced the departure of CFO Gerald Bernstein effective June 30, 2026, and the appointment of Arie Goor as his replacement, effective July 1, 2026. The company will pay Shimony Financial Services $9,000 per month for Mr. Goor's services under a 30-day termination agreement. This CFO change is a routine succession event for a micro-cap company in distress, occurring just 26 days after a dilutive 30% offering at a ~52% discount, which overshadows any positive read-through from the appointment.
