Estee Lauder: Two directors, Lynn de Rothschild and Angela Dong, to leave board

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

Two long-serving or recent Estee Lauder directors will leave the board, with Lynn Forester de Rothschild not standing for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting and Angela Wei Dong retiring effective the day before that meeting. The filing says neither departure resulted from disagreements with the company on operations, policies, or practices, so the changes are board turnover rather than a dispute.

Key points

  • Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a director since 2000 and member of the Nominating and ESG Committee, will not stand for re-election as a Class II director and remains on the board until the 2025 Annual Meeting.
  • Angela Wei Dong, a Class III director since 2022 and member of the Audit Committee, will retire effective the day before the 2025 Annual Meeting.
  • Both notices were given on July 9, 2025, and the filing states neither decision was due to disagreements with the company.
