AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Fastenal (FAST)

Fastenal names Max Tunnicliff CFO effective November 10, 2025, replacing interim CFO Lisowski

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Fastenal's board appointed Max H. Tunnicliff, 47, as Chief Financial Officer and Senior Executive Vice President effective November 10, 2025, ending Sheryl Lisowski's role as interim CFO, which she held since April 17, 2025. Lisowski remains Executive Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer, and Treasurer. A CFO change is a leadership transition that shareholders may watch closely, but the filing reports no change in financial results.

Key points

  • Tunnicliff's base salary is $430,000 per year, with a $225,000 signing bonus in the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • His bonus for the fourth quarter of 2025 depends on pre-tax income (0.50%) and net income (0.35%) exceeding the prior-year quarter's levels.
  • He will receive no stock options at appointment, but will be considered for 2026 awards expected to be about $1.2 million in value.
  • Tunnicliff previously served as CFO of Beko Europe from January 2024 and held senior finance roles at Whirlpool.
