This Form 8-K filing by Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (CBOE) on May 27, 2010, reports the resignation of three directors: Kevin L.
Murphy, John E. Smollen, and Jonathan B. Werts.
These resignations from the Company's board were effective May 26, 2010, and are attributed to employer policies restricting service on public company boards. While all three resigned from the parent company, CBOE Holdings, Inc., Messrs. Murphy and Smollen will continue to serve as directors for the operating subsidiaries, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (CBOE) and C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (C2).
Mr. Werts also resigned from these operating subsidiaries. For investors, these changes in the board composition, while noted, do not appear to signal any immediate operational or financial shifts as Messrs. Murphy and Smollen maintain their roles on key subsidiary boards.
The reasons cited are external to CBOE and do not suggest any performance-related issues or strategic disagreements. The filing also explicitly states no financial statements or exhibits are included.
