Summary
Intuit Inc. filed an 8-K report on October 20, 2011, primarily to disclose the departure of a key executive. David H. Batchelder, a member of the Board of Directors, informed the company on October 18, 2011, that he will not seek re-election at the upcoming January 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
