How the list is made
- The source
- Form 8-K filings, and amendments to them, made to the US Securities and Exchange Commission from 5 to 9 October 2026 under Item 5.02. The same code covers director elections, appointments and pay.
- Read twice
- Each officer-change section was read twice, separately. A filing is listed only where both readings found the same departure and each could point to the words in the filing that show it.
- What counts as leaving
- The chief financial officer or principal financial officer, or the chief executive officer or principal executive officer, resigns, retires, is removed or stops serving in that role. Interim holders count. So does a move to another role at the same company.
- Reason, date, successor
- Given where both readings agree. The date is the one the filing gives for the person leaving the role.
- 133 not listed
- Filings under the code in which neither reading found such a departure. The code also covers appointments, director changes and pay.
What it is not
It is a record of what filings say. It is not advice to buy, sell or hold anything, and it ranks no company.
A reading can be wrong. Every line links to its filing so that it can be checked. If a line is wrong, write to hello@sonofabanker.com and it will be corrected.
It covers filings made on the five days named and nothing after them. No officer is named here. The filing names them.
A question for you
If you watch for departures like these for work, tell us about the last one you had to find: the signal you watch, where you looked and how long it took. Write to hello@sonofabanker.com. Leave out anything that shows what you are working on.
