Retirement of Chief Financial Officer
On October 27, 2025, Daily Journal Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Ms. Tu To, Chief Financial Officer, will retire as an executive officer of the Company effective January 15, 2026 (the “Retirement Date”). Ms. To will conclude her forty-two-year career with the Company, having served thirty-one years as Controller and nearly four years as Chief Financial Officer. It is anticipated she will step down from her position as the Company’s principal financial officer either on December 31, 2025 or on the Retirement Date.
Recognizing her long-time service, the Company and Ms. To entered into a Separation Agreement and Release on October 27, 2025 (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Ms. To will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer through a transition that will occur by the Retirement Date. Pursuant to the Agreement, Ms. To will receive (i) a lump-sum payment of $175,000, representing a retroactive pay adjustment recognizing her increased responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer; (ii) a cash bonus of $40,000 for fiscal year 2025; (iii) eligibility for contingent milestone bonuses of up to $75,000 in aggregate primarily associated with the Company’s financial system conversion; and (iv) continued Company-paid medical and dental plan insurance premiums through April 30, 2027. In addition, Ms. To’s outstanding Consolidated Unit Certificates will remain outstanding and continue to operate as if she were 65 years of age on the Retirement Date, subject to their existing terms.
Under the Agreement, Ms. To has agreed to provide a general release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company and reaffirmed her confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations.
