Every change, in the filing's words

Filed 2026-06-29 · 8-K

Appointed: David J. Johnson, Director

On June 26, 2026, by resolution of its sole shareholder, Domtar Corporation (the "Company") elected David J. Johnson, Jr. as a director.

Departing: David J. Johnson

A U.S. qualified lawyer, Mr. Johnson retired as a partner of (and later Of Counsel to) the international law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP, where, for over 25 years, he advised clients on corporate and finance matters.

Also stated in this filing

  • The appointment follows the entry by the Company into a consulting agreement with Gemsbok Partners LLC ("Gemsbok"), of which Mr. Johnson is the Managing Member, dated April 7, 2026.
  • During his tenure with O'Melveny, he served in a series of senior firm-wide leadership roles, including as a member of the Policy Committee (the firm's board-equivalent), Managing Partner of the Hong Kong office, Chair of the Transactions Department (overseeing more than 350 lawyers across 12 offices), and Co-Head of the Capital Markets Group.
  • Mr. Johnson holds a J.D./M.B.A. from the University of Virginia School of Law/Darden School of Business and a B.A. in U.S. Government, with high honors, from the University of Virginia.
  • The Company believes that Mr. Johnson's background and experience in finance and corporate matters, along with his managerial experience, qualifies him to act in this role.

Where this comes from

A public company must file a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days when a director leaves or is elected, or when its chief executive, chief financial, chief accounting or chief operating officer, or another named executive, departs or is appointed. That disclosure goes under Item 5.02 of the report.

Every change on this page is taken from one of those filings and quoted in the company's own words, with a link to the filing, so it can be checked at the source. Where a filing names the person, the role and the date a change takes effect, they are shown beside the quote. Where it does not, the quote stands on its own. A filing states what changed; it rarely states why, and neither does this page.
