Summary

Tempest Therapeutics disclosed that board director Ms. Simantov resigned effective May 23, 2026. The company explicitly stated her departure was not due to any disagreement with management regarding operations, policies, or practices—standard language meant to signal an amicable exit. As part of her separation agreement, Ms.

Simantov waived unpaid retainer fees owed under the director compensation program, though her existing stock options and share ownership remain intact. For retail investors, board departures warrant attention but this appears routine. The waiver of fees suggests a clean break and may slightly benefit the company's cash position. Watch for any follow-on disclosures about board composition changes or new director appointments in coming weeks, which could signal strategic shifts or governance priorities.
