Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On October 27, 2023, each of Phillip L. Cohen and Thomas S. Postek informed the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of UniFirst Corporation (the “Company”) that he is retiring as a member of the Board, including from his roles on the committees of the Board, effective October 27, 2023. The decisions of Messrs. Cohen and Postek to retire were not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company thanks both Mr. Cohen and Mr. Postek for their many years of service and contributions to the Board.

 

Although the specific timing was uncertain, the retirements of Messrs. Cohen and Postek were not unexpected, and the recent additions of Joseph M. Nowicki and Sergio A. Pupkin were made partially in anticipation of the eventual retirements of these long-term Board members. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board intends to continue to actively work to identify prospective Board candidates.
