Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Sonos said CEO Patrick Spence will step down as CEO and board member effective January 13, 2025, and director Tom Conrad was appointed interim CEO and president. The company said the change is unrelated to its fiscal first quarter results, which will be reported February 6, 2025, and that it has begun a search for a permanent CEO.

  • Conrad receives a monthly base salary of $175,000 and restricted stock units with a grant date value of $2.65 million, vesting monthly over his interim service.
  • Conrad stepped down as chair of the Compensation, People and Diversity & Inclusion Committee; Karen Boone was named chair and Julius Genachowski joined the committee.
  • Sonos is providing no update on fiscal first quarter results ahead of the February 6, 2025 report.
