An announcement from Compass Minerals International ( (CMP) ) is now available.
On December 18, 2025, Compass Minerals expanded its board of directors from eight to 12 members as part of a board refreshment initiative, appointing four new directors—Russell Ball, Denise Merle, Mark Roberts and David Safran—each to serve until the 2026 annual meeting while assigning them to key committees including Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, Environmental, Health, Safety and Sustainability, and a newly created Capital Allocation and Technical Committee. The reshaped board is intended to bolster expertise in mining, industrial operations, salt and plant nutrition, and corporate governance to support the company’s back-to-basics strategy and operational efficiency goals, while several existing directors, including representatives of major shareholder Koch Minerals & Trading and long-serving director Lori Walker, will not stand for reelection at the 2026 meeting, and chair Joe Reece is expected to transition off the board by or before the 2027 annual meeting as the board size is gradually reduced back to eight members.
