Summary

Standex International announced that Samantha L. Stoddard will become its new Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer effective December 1, 2026. She succeeds Ademir Sarcevic, who has been serving as CFO on an interim basis since his promotion in May 2026 to Executive Vice President – Corporate and Group President – Electronics.

Sarcevic will remain with the company in that role, so this is an internal transition rather than a departure. Stoddard brings public-company CFO experience from JELD-WEN Holding, where she has served as CFO since July 2024. Her compensation package includes a $575,000 base salary, a target annual bonus of 75% of base salary, a $402,500 signing bonus, and sign-on equity awards.

She will also be eligible for a fiscal 2027 long-term incentive award with a target value of 175% of base salary. For retail investors, the appointment of a new CFO is a routine governance event. The transition appears orderly, with the outgoing CFO staying on in a senior operating role, and the incoming CFO bringing relevant public-company experience. No red flags were identified in the filing.
