AutoZone director Claire R. McDonough told the Board on October 6, 2026, that she will not stand for reelection at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. She cited a new executive role at another company whose events calendar conflicts with several future AutoZone board meetings, and the filing says her decision did not stem from any disagreement with the Company about its operations, policies, or practices.
