Coupang says Warsh leaves board after being confirmed as Fed Chair

In a regulatory filing, Coupang (CPNG) stated: “As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 6, 2026 by Coupang with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on January 30, 2026, President Donald J. Trump announced his intent to nominate Kevin M. Warsh, a member of the board of directors of the Company, to serve as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve System, subject to confirmation by the United States Senate. On February 3, 2026, Mr. Warsh informed the Company that if he is confirmed as Federal Reserve Chair by the U.S. Senate, he would resign as a director of the Company. On May 13, 2026, the U.S. Senate confirmed Mr. Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair and Mr. Warsh resigned as a director of the Company effective immediately. Under applicable U.S. federal ethics and conflict of interest requirements, Mr. Warsh cannot hold both positions as Federal Reserve Chair and as a Company director. Mr. Warsh’s decision was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. As a result of Mr. Warsh’s resignation, he will no longer stand for re-election as a director at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting of stockholders, no votes received will be counted for or against the election of Mr. Warsh to the Board, and the Board will reduce the size of the Board by one director.”
