AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Cal-Maine Foods (CALM)

Cal-Maine Foods appoints Dudley Wooley to board as independent Class III director

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

Cal-Maine Foods added Dudley D. Wooley, CEO of Ross & Yerger Insurance, Inc., as an independent Class III director, filling the seat left by Jim Poole, who recently passed away. Mr. Wooley joins the Compensation, Audit, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees and receives standard non-employee director pay, which the filing does not show affecting company financial results.

Key points

  • Term runs until the 2027 annual meeting; Board determined he is independent under Nasdaq listing standards.
  • Annual director fee of $45,000, paid quarterly in advance; RSAs with a $100,000 target grant value approved March 31, 2026, vesting 100% on January 12, 2029.
  • Succeeds Jim Poole, who recently passed away; press release announcing the appointment dated April 1, 2026.
  • The filing dates the appointment to March 31, 2025, while the RSA grant is dated March 31, 2026, so the appointment date appears to contain an error.
