Summary
Citi Trends announced that Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer Heather Plutino has decided to step down for personal reasons. She will continue in her current role while the company searches for her successor, providing continuity during the transition. The company stated that Plutino's departure is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the company or its board regarding operations, policies, or practices.

Investors should watch for the announcement of a successor and any interim changes to the finance function.
