Summary
Valvoline expanded its Board with two directors whose backgrounds align with the company's retail service model. Katherine Fogertey brings over 20 years of finance experience, most recently as CFO of Shake Shack where she drove margin expansion and operational transformation. Scott Mezvinsky leads KFC's global operations as CEO of Yum! Brands' KFC Division, overseeing 30,000+ restaurants across 150 countries.
The appointments strengthen the Board's expertise in consumer-facing operations and franchise management.

Both receive standard non-employee director compensation with no unusual terms. The additions are routine governance enhancements for a company operating a network of quick-service automotive maintenance centers.
