AutoZone director Claire R. McDonough won't stand for reelection at 2026 annual meeting

AUTOZONE INC

McDonough communicated her decision to the AutoZone board on October 6, 2026; the 8-K was signed October 9, 2026 by General Counsel Jenna M. Bedsole.
Reason given: she recently accepted a new executive role at a different company whose key events calendar conflicts with several AutoZone future board meetings.
The Board said it would have preferred a different outcome and thanked her for her counsel and contributions; it stated the decision was not related to any disagreement with AutoZone.
No replacement director or committee changes were named; the board will shrink unless another nominee is added before the 2026 annual meeting.
