Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
On May 12, 2023, Christopher J. Sobecki notified the Secretary of WW
International, Inc. (the "Company") of his resignation as a director of the
Company, effective as of 11:59 p.m on May 31, 2023. His decision was not the
result of any disagreement with the Company or the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"). In order to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Sobecki's
resignation, on May 12, 2023, the Board unanimously elected Tara Comonte as a
Class I director of the Company, effective as of 12:00 a.m. on June 1, 2023.
Ms. Comonte's term as a Class I director will expire at the Company's 2026
annual meeting of shareholders, subject to her election by the Company's
shareholders at the Company's 2024 annual meeting of shareholders as required
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
There were no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Ms. Comonte was
elected as a director, and there are no related party transactions between the
Company and Ms. Comonte reportable under Item 404(a)
of Regulation S-K. The Board has affirmatively determined that Ms. Comonte
qualifies as an "independent director" under Nasdaq listing standards.
Ms. Comonte will receive the Company's standard compensation provided to all
the Company's non-employee directors for service on the Board (currently
$150,000 per annum, payable quarterly, half in cash and half in fully vested
common stock of the Company, no par value per share (the "Common Stock")). Such
amounts shall be prorated with respect to fiscal 2023 based on Ms. Comonte's
time of service on the Board during the second fiscal quarter of 2023. All
shares of Common Stock granted to a director are subject to transfer
restrictions such that the shares cannot be sold or transferred until the
earlier of (i) the director no longer serving on the Board or (ii) following the
proposed sale or transfer of any such shares, the applicable director continuing
to hold shares of Common Stock with a value of at least $600,000 in the
aggregate, such value based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date
of such director's request for permission to consummate such sale or transfer
pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Securities Trading Policy, and
any successor policy thereof.
