AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Evergy (EVRG)

Evergy to lose chief accounting officer Dec. 1 and COO Kevin Bryant Dec. 31

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Evergy said its Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, Steven P. Busser, will retire effective December 1, 2024, and that Matt Gummig will serve as Interim Controller and Chief Accounting Officer during the search for a permanent replacement. Separately, Chief Operating Officer Kevin E. Bryant will leave the company on December 31, 2024, after moving to a corporate initiatives role, and the company does not currently plan to fill the COO position. The filing states that neither departure resulted from a disagreement with the company, and it contains no financial results.
