01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K/A filed November 1, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Waters Corporation filed this Form 8-K on November 1, 2024 to amend a prior Item 5.02 disclosure made in its August 14, 2024 Current Report.
That earlier filing reported that the Board of Directors appointed Heather Knight as a director on August 13, 2024, effective August 14, 2024. This amendment adds a new detail: at a Board meeting on October 31, 2024, the Board appointed Ms. Knight to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, effective immediately. The filing is administrative in nature and does not report any changes to financial results, guidance, or operations.
The governance change expands Ms. Knight's board role into a committee assignment, which is typically of interest to shareholders monitoring board composition and oversight responsibilities. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for board nominations and governance matters. The filing incorporates by reference the information from the August 2024 Item 5.02 disclosure, so no additional compensation or biographical details are provided in this document.
