The RealReal increased its board from seven to eight directors and appointed Sharmistha Dubey, former CEO of Match Group, as a Class II director effective November 3, 2026. The filing reports no financial results, guidance or transactions, so the change is a governance addition rather than a change in company performance.

  • Dubey was CEO of Match Group from March 2020 to May 2022 and served on Match's board from March 2019 to June 2026.
  • Non-employee director pay includes a $35,000 annual cash retainer and a $165,000 annual restricted stock unit award.
  • Dubey also chairs the board of Fortive Corporation and serves as a director of Naspers and Prosus.
