On February 26, 2025, an arbitrator ruled in favor of former CEO Charles R. Kummeth in a dispute over 794,400 vested options that the company had treated as expired following an administrative error. The company must pay Kummeth approximately $35,978,000 for the options, plus about $980,000 in interest and about $234,000 in legal fees and costs, which will reduce shareholder value.
Arbitrator's order dated February 26, 2025 found Kummeth would have exercised his options before the August 9, 2024 expiration date.
Payment for the options is approximately $35,978,000, measured by the 30-day average closing price before the Award Agreement expiration date.
Additional amounts are approximately $980,000 in interest and approximately $234,000 in legal fees and costs.
The dispute arose from an administrative error in the stock plan platform, which showed an October 26, 2024 expiration date.

Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
