Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously disclosed, on November 2, 2023, MDU Resources Group, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its plan to spin off its wholly owned construction services business, Everus Construction, Inc. The separation is expected to occur through the spinoff of a newly formed company, Everus Construction Group, Inc., which will be the new parent company for Everus Construction, Inc. The separation and distribution are expected to be completed in late 2024, subject to certain customary conditions, including, but not limited to, final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.
On September 3, 2024, the Company announced that each of Dale S. Rosenthal, Michael S. Della Rocca, Edward A. Ryan and David M. Sparby (collectively, the “Prospective Everus Construction Directors”) are expected to resign as directors of the Company in connection with their anticipated appointment to the board of directors of Everus Construction Group, Inc., in each case, conditioned on, subject to the completion of, and effective as of, the completion of the separation and distribution.
The Prospective Everus Construction Directors have not yet submitted conditional letters of resignation to the Company’s Board of Directors, and are not expected to do so unless and until the Company’s Board of Directors approves the separation and distribution, and sets the record date and distribution date for the distribution. The conditional letters of resignation will provide that such resignations will only become effective upon the completion of the distribution.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 3, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the anticipated board of directors of Everus Construction Group, Inc. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 furnished hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
