Pool Corporation said Senior Vice President Kenneth G. St. Romain will retire [December 31, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000945841/000119312526419080/pool-20261005.htm?ref=bullished.co), according to an 8-K filed Friday. The company announced the date on Monday, and the filing reports it.

## What the 8-K says

The filing, signed by Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Melanie M. Hart, says that on October 5, 2026 the company announced December 31, 2026 as the effective date of St. Romain's retirement as Senior Vice President.

After that date, he will serve in an advisory role to the company's Chief Executive Officer. The filing does not name the CEO.

The 8-K was accepted Friday at 4:05 p.m. ET, after the market close. POOL shares closed at $159.54 at Friday's close, up 0.89% (market data).

## A planned exit

The departure was flagged earlier. The 8-K says St. Romain informed the company of his decision to retire at a future, unspecified date during 2026, as Pool disclosed in a Form 8-K filed January 12, 2026.

What is new in this filing is the date: the retirement takes effect December 31, and the advisory role follows.

The retirement takes effect December 31, 2026, when St. Romain's advisory role to the CEO begins.
