Summary
Summary of the 8-K/A filed February 21, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Northern Trust Corporation filed this Form 8-K on February 21, 2025 to amend two earlier 8-K reports about board committee appointments.
Under Item 5.02, the filing states that on February 19, 2025, the Board of Directors appointed Chandra Dhandapani to the Business Risk Committee, and appointed Robert E. Moritz and Richard M. Petrino to the Audit Committee.
The amendments clarify that when the original Forms 8-K were filed (on May 29, 2024 and January 22, 2025), the Board had not yet determined the committees for these directors. The filing is administrative in nature and does not disclose financial results, financial statement figures, or changes to compensation arrangements.
Its main significance for investors is governance: it documents the Board's committee assignments for these directors, which bears on oversight of audit and business risk matters. The only exhibit listed is Exhibit 104, the cover page of this report formatted in Inline XBRL.
