Stagwell director Bradley J. Gross told the board on Friday that he is [resigning effective October 16](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000876883/000110465926113762/tm2627017d1%5F8k.htm?ref=bullished.co), according to an 8-K the company filed Monday. The filing says the exit is not the result of any disagreement over operations, policies or practices.

## What the 8-K says

The filing falls under Item 5.02, the section of an 8-K that covers departures of directors and certain officers. It reports that Gross gave notice to the board on October 2, 2026, and that his resignation takes effect October 16, 2026.

The company's wording is narrow: the resignation "is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices."

The document is short. It names no successor or replacement director and offers no other reason for the departure. Edmund D. Graff, Stagwell's Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, signed it, dated October 5, 2026.

## What it changes

When the resignation takes effect, Gross's seat on the board becomes vacant. The filing does not say whether the company plans to fill it.

Stagwell shares closed at $8.53 in Monday's regular session and were unchanged at $8.53 in Monday after-hours trading, according to market data. The filing was accepted at 5:00 p.m. ET, after the regular session had ended.

The next date that matters is October 16, when Gross's resignation takes effect and the board seat opens.
