Item5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 6, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of WW International, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously elected Lisa Gavales and Sue E. Gove as directors of the Company, effective April 7, 2026, to serve until the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. Ms. Gavales and Ms. Gove are expected to stand for election at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. There were no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Ms. Gavales or Ms. Gove were elected as directors, and there are no related party transactions between the Company and either Ms. Gavales or Ms. Gove reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of Ms. Gavales and Ms. Gove qualifies as an “independent director” under Nasdaq listing standards.

Committee assignments for Ms. Gavales and Ms. Gove have not yet been determined. When available, such committee assignments will be reported by an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Ms. Gavales and Ms. Gove will each receive the Company’s standard compensation program provided to the Company’s non-employee directors for service on the Board, currently consisting of an annual cash retainer of $90,000 payable quarterly and additional annual cash retainers of $12,500 per year for membership on the standing Board committees on which she serves, payable quarterly. Such amounts shall be prorated with respect to fiscal 2026 based on each of Ms. Gavales and Ms. Gove’s time of service on the Board and its committees during fiscal 2026. In addition, subject to their election at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, Ms. Gavales and Ms. Gove will be eligible to receive an annual equity grant of restricted stock units with a target grant date value of $135,000, which will be granted on the first trading day of the Company’s open trading window following the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders for fiscal 2026.

In connection with the appointment of Ms. Gavales and Ms. Gove, the Board approved an increase in the size of the Board to six members.

 

Item7.01.
