Rosebrough Jr. to its board and its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, effective January 3, 2026. The deal commits Cooper to supporting Rosebrough’s election at the 2026 annual meeting, conducting a Browning West–approved search for an additional independent director with medical technology experience by June 30, 2026, capping the board at ten members during the agreement term, and giving due consideration to naming Rosebrough board chair by the end of 2026, while Browning West agrees to standstill and voting commitments, including backing the company’s full slate in 2026.
