Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Resignation of Director
Naytri Shroff Sramek, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), resigned from the Board, effective as of August 27, 2026. Ms. Sramek served as the chair of the Board’s Sustainability Nominating and Governance Committee and as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee. There were no disagreements with Ms. Sramek with respect to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, nor did Ms. Sramek provide any written statement to the Company with respect to the circumstances of her resignation. The Board thanks Ms. Sramek for her service on the Board and wishes her well in her future endeavors.
John Replogle, a current member of the Board, was appointed to the Board’s Audit Committee to replace Ms. Sramek. The Board also reduced the size of its Sustainability, Nominating and Governance Committee from three directors to two directors.
Appointment of Director
On August 27, 2026, the Board appointed Jason Karp to serve on the Board as a member of Class III of the Board for a term expiring at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in 2028.
The Board determined that Mr. Karp satisfied the definition of an “independent director” under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
Mr. Karp has served as the founder and chief executive officer of HumanCo, a health-focused holding company dedicated to creating, investing in and operating companies with healthy and sustainable products, since 2019. Mr. Karp also co-founded Hu Chocolate, a chocolate company, with his family in 2011, where he served as chairman until its sale to Mondelez International in 2021. Mr. Karp spent over 20 years as a professional investor, most recently as the founder and chief executive officer of Tourbillon Capital Partners, an investment fund, from 2011 until 2018. Mr. Karp has served as a member of the board of directors of True Food Kitchen since September 2022. Mr. Karp received his B.S. in Economics, summa cum laude, from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The Board believes Mr. Karp is qualified to serve on the Board because of his significant experience founding, building and scaling consumer brands, his extensive background in investment management and capital markets, and his deep expertise in the health and wellness industry.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Karp and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Karp was selected as a director of the Company. There are no transactions involving Mr. Karp requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S–K under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (“Regulation S-K”).
In connection with his appointment to the Board, Mr. Karp will enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement. Mr. Karp will not receive compensation for his service on the Board.
