Smartbird, Inc. reported a board change under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, covering the departure of a director. On June 27, 2026, Ravi Thanawala notified the company’s board of directors that he intends to resign from the board. Thanawala’s resignation is scheduled to become effective July 14, 2026. The company said the delayed effective date is intended to support an orderly transition. The filing states that Thanawala is stepping down because he will assume the role of chief financial officer at American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. Smartbird emphasized that the resignation was not due to any disagreement with the company regarding its operations, policies, or practices. The filing did not report any related securities transactions, share sales, option exercises, equity awards, vesting arrangements, or changes in ownership. The current report was signed on July 1, 2026, by Nadia Carlsten, the company’s chief executive officer. One notable detail is that the signature block identifies the registrant as “Allbirds, Inc.” while the body of the filing refers to “Smartbird, Inc.”; the substantive corporate action disclosed is the same director resignation described above.
