Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

CVR Energy's president and chief executive, Mark Pytosh, stepped down from the company and its board effective June 18, 2026, and Dane Neumann, the former chief financial officer, was appointed to those roles. Richard Roberts was named interim chief financial officer, so both top executive and finance posts changed at once. The filing sets out Pytosh's separation payment and new compensation terms for Neumann, which shareholders can review in the exhibits.

  • Dane Neumann's employment agreement sets an annual base salary of $800,000 and a target annual bonus of 150% of base salary.
  • Neumann received a one-time grant of 27,372 performance share units that vest only upon consummation of a Significant Transaction.
  • Richard Roberts was appointed interim chief financial officer effective June 18, 2026.
