Ingevity directors Sansone and Blackwell will not stand for re-election in 2026
Ingevity (NGVT) said two founding directors, Daniel F. Sansone and Jean S. Blackwell, will not stand for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will leave the board then. The board also approved shrinking itself from 11 to 9 members effective at that meeting. The filing says the departures do not result from any disagreement with the company, but the change reduces board tenure and reflects the company's portfolio optimization.
