Ulta Beauty, Inc. reported a senior leadership change on July 14, 2026: Kelly E. Garcia will move from the company’s board of directors into an executive operating role as Chief Technology Officer. The company said Garcia is expected to begin serving as CTO on August 31, 2026. In connection with that transition, Garcia gave notice on July 14, 2026, that he will resign from Ulta Beauty’s board. His resignation will become effective when he starts as Chief Technology Officer, meaning his board departure is tied directly to the commencement of his executive role rather than an immediate exit. The filing was made under Item 5.02, which covers departures and appointments of directors and certain officers, and related compensatory arrangements. However, the document does not disclose any compensation package, equity grant, option award, vesting schedule, or other employment-agreement terms for Garcia’s CTO appointment. Ulta Beauty also furnished a July 14, 2026 press release under Regulation FD as Exhibit 99.1 announcing the board resignation and transition to CTO. The company noted that the Regulation FD information and press release are being “furnished,” not deemed “filed,” for purposes of Exchange Act liability unless specifically incorporated into another filing. No securities transaction was reported in this Form 8-K. As a result, there are no share counts, prices, transaction codes, insider ownership changes, option exercises, or post-transaction holdings disclosed. The significance of the filing is instead governance- and management-related: Ulta Beauty is bringing a sitting director into a key technology leadership position while removing him from the board once he assumes that executive role.
