What other governance changes or board appointments are expected at the next annual meeting that could offset this departure?

Answer

Based on the information provided in the news release, the only governance change that has been disclosed for the upcoming annual meeting (scheduled for April 2026) is the departure of Jenele C. Grassle—who has served on Winmark’s Board of Directors since 2001 and is presently a member of both the Compensation and Nominating Committees.

The release does not mention any additional board appointments, elections, or other governance‑related actions that have been announced for that meeting. Consequently, with the information currently available, we cannot identify any other governance changes that might offset her departure.

Key point: No other governance changes or new board appointments have been publicly announced for the next annual meeting in the provided news article.
