The company expects the board to shrink to eleven directors at that time and plans a consulting arrangement under which Rogers will advise on sport and community engagement. The filing says his decision was not due to a disagreement with the company or the board.

NIKE reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter results for the period ended February 28, 2026. Revenue was flat at $11.3 billion on a reported basis and down 3 percent on a currency-neutral basis, while net income fell 35 percent to $0.5 billion and diluted earnings per share fell to $0.35 from $0.54. For shareholders, the quarter shows lower profit on flat sales, with gross margin also down.

NIKE signed a new 364-day unsecured revolving credit agreement with Bank of America as administrative agent, providing up to $1 billion of borrowings that mature March 5, 2027, and it terminated its prior $1.0 billion 364-day facility on the same day. The filing states no amounts were outstanding under the prior facility and that the new agreement has no financial covenants, so the change is a renewal of existing liquidity arrangements rather than a new debt load.

NIKE said its management approved a plan on February 27, 2026 for organizational changes that, together with earlier actions, are expected to bring pre-tax charges of about $300 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. Most of the charges, mostly for employee severance, are expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, and the company may take further actions that lead to more charges. The filing says actual charges may differ, possibly materially, from these estimates.
