Illumina: Three directors to retire from Board; David King nominated for election

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Illumina said three directors, Frances Arnold, Robert S. Epstein and Gary S. Guthart, will retire from its Board effective May 21, 2026, the date of the 2026 annual meeting. The company said the retirements are not the result of any disagreement with the company or the Board, and the Board has nominated David P. King for election at that meeting. The filing does not include financial results or guidance, so the change is a governance matter for shareholders to weigh.

Key points

  • Drs. Frances Arnold, Robert S. Epstein and Gary S. Guthart intend to retire as directors effective May 21, 2026
  • The filing states the retirements are not due to any dispute or disagreement with the company or Board
  • The Board has nominated David P. King for election as a director at the 2026 annual meeting
  • King is the former Executive Chairman and CEO of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings

Written later: this filing was briefed after the fact, when past filings were added to the site, so the brief may be read with hindsight; the filing itself is the record of what was known on April 02, 2026.
