Paychex, Inc. reported a board change tied to its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. On July 16, 2026, director Kara Wilson notified the company’s Board of Directors that she will not stand for re-election at the annual meeting. The company said Wilson’s decision was not the result of any disagreement with Paychex regarding its operations, policies or practices. That clarification is typically included to distinguish routine director departures from resignations or exits connected to disputes over company strategy, governance, accounting or management matters. In connection with Wilson’s planned departure, Paychex’s Board determined that it will reduce its size from 11 directors to 10 directors. The reduction will become effective immediately upon the expiration of Wilson’s term at the 2026 annual meeting. The filing was made under Item 5.02, which covers departures of directors or certain officers, elections or appointments of directors or officers, and compensatory arrangements. No stock transaction, insider purchase or sale, option grant, vesting event, share count, transaction code, or price was reported in this filing. Paychex also listed Item 9.01 for exhibits, including the Inline XBRL cover page exhibit. The report was signed on July 21, 2026, by Prabha Sipi Bhandari, the company’s Chief Legal Officer, Chief Ethics Officer and Secretary.
