Summary
This 8-K filing from Rockwell Automation, Inc. (ROK) reports on the resignation of Director Lawrence D. Kingsley, effective December 1, 2021. Mr. Kingsley's departure is attributed to existing public company board and business commitments and is not a result of any disagreement with the Company or its management. This event prompts a reduction in the size of the Board of Directors from eleven to ten members. Following Mr. Kingsley's resignation, the Board has made several appointments to committee leadership. Thomas W. Rosamilia has been appointed Chair of the Technology Committee, and James P. Keane has joined the Board Composition and Corporate Governance Committee. Notably, Mr. Keane will step down from the Compensation and Talent Management Committee as a result of this new appointment. These changes are primarily administrative and do not appear to signal any significant strategic shifts or performance issues for Rockwell Automation.
