The latest announcement is out from Arvinas Holding Company ( (ARVN) ).

On February 10, 2026, Arvinas president, CEO and board chair John Houston, Ph.D., notified the company he would resign from those roles effective February 12, 2026, while remaining on the board and transitioning to a consulting position through March 1, 2027. On February 11, 2026, the board named lead independent director Briggs Morrison, M.D., as chair and appointed long‑time executive Randy Teel, Ph.D., as president, CEO, principal executive officer and director, under an amended employment agreement that sets his compensation, equity grants and detailed severance protections, including enhanced benefits and accelerated vesting in the event of a qualifying termination following a change in control.

The consulting agreement with Dr. Houston provides for a lump‑sum COBRA‑related payment, a cash amount equivalent to his 2025 bonus had he remained CEO, additional hourly fees beyond a baseline level of consulting hours and continued equity vesting. The leadership transition concentrates strategic and operational authority with Dr. Teel, who has held multiple senior roles at Arvinas since 2018, while preserving continuity and access to Dr. Houston’s expertise, a combination that may help stabilize governance and signal longer‑term planning to shareholders and employees.
