ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 30, 2018, Schneider National, Inc. (the "Company") announced that Chris Lofgren will retire as President and Chief Executive Officer following the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in April 2019. Mr. Lofgren's departure from the Company is not due to any dispute or disagreement over the Company's operations, practices or policies.
The Company's Board of Directors has selected Mark Rourke, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, to succeed Mr. Lofgren. Mr. Rourke joined the Company in 1987 and has served in his current role since 2015. Prior to becoming Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Rourke held several leadership roles, including President of Truckload Services, General Manager of Schneider Transportation Management and Vice President of Customer Service. Mr. Rourke holds a bachelor's degree in Marketing from the University of Akron.
Mr. Rourke's selection is consistent with a thorough succession plan that was developed and executed under the Board of Directors' oversight during the last several years. To assist with an orderly transition, Mr. Lofgren will continue to serve in his current role until his retirement date, at which time his employment at the Company will end in connection with Mr. Rourke's commencement of his role as the Company's new Chief Executive Officer. At the time of this report, the Company has not entered into any compensation arrangements with Mr. Lofgren or Mr. Rourke in connection with the announcement described above.
The Company’s press release issued on October 30, 2018 announcing Mr. Lofgren's retirement and Mr. Rourke's appointment is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
