Designer Brands Corporate Events
Designer Brands Inc., a major footwear designer, producer and retailer with a broad portfolio of owned and licensed brands and a large North American store and e-commerce footprint, focuses on delivering on-trend shoes and accessories across multiple channels and market segments. The company also supplies private label footwear to national retailers and maintains an active corporate responsibility program, including large-scale shoe donations through global nonprofit partnerships.
On February 6, 2026, Designer Brands’ board appointed veteran retail executive Sheamus Toal as executive vice president, chief financial officer and principal financial officer, with the appointment effective February 16, 2026, and formally announced the move in a February 11, 2026 press release. Toal, whose background includes senior finance and operating roles at The Children’s Place, Saatva and New York & Company, receives a $750,000 base salary, bonus and equity incentives, and a severance-protected executive agreement, signaling the company’s effort to reinforce its financial leadership as it pursues strategic initiatives and long-term growth in a competitive retail environment, while interim principal financial officer Mark Haley returns full time to his controller and principal accounting officer roles.

On January 28, 2026, the Court of Common Pleas in Franklin County, Ohio issued a temporary restraining order preventing Worldpay, LLC from terminating its Bank Card Merchant Agreement with Designer Brands Inc. and ceasing credit and debit card processing services before May 31, 2026. On February 9, 2026, Designer Brands and Worldpay signed an omnibus amendment under which Worldpay withdrew its termination notice and agreed to continue providing processing services through a transition period ending no later than May 31, 2026, while Designer Brands lines up alternative providers and the parties plan to resolve the litigation through a stipulated dismissal with prejudice.
The arrangement secures uninterrupted payment processing for Designer Brands’ in-store and online transactions in the near term, reducing the immediate operational risk that would have arisen from a sudden service cutoff. By identifying several existing partners capable of taking over these services and moving to formally end the dispute, the company is working to ensure a smoother transition of this critical infrastructure and to limit potential disruption for customers, merchants and other stakeholders.

O’Donnell brings extensive global retail and brand-building experience from leadership positions at Everlane, Deckers Outdoor Corporation, DFS Group, and Lane Crawford, and her expanded remit is expected to strengthen operational execution and support the company’s branded growth strategy, with no special arrangements or understandings underlying her promotion.

On January 27-28, 2026, Designer Brands Inc. initiated legal action in an Ohio state court to block Worldpay LLC from prematurely terminating a long-standing bank card merchant agreement that provides credit and debit card processing for nearly all of the company’s U.S. DSW store sales and more than half of its U.S. online sales, an agreement that is contractually set to expire on May 31, 2026. The court issued a temporary restraining order on January 28, 2026, finding the company likely to succeed on its breach-of-contract and declaratory claims, after Worldpay alleged a financial default, issued a termination notice effective February 2, 2026, and later a non-renewal notice, while also proposing a three-month transition period at substantially higher fees that Designer Brands calls commercially unreasonable; the company disputes any default, notes it has paid Worldpay in full and on time over nearly 12 years, is seeking damages and injunctive relief, and is urgently pursuing alternative short-, medium-, and long-term payment processing solutions to mitigate the risk of being unable to process a majority of its card transactions, which could materially harm its operations and financial performance.
