A board seat at Donaldson Company (NYSE: DCI) is set to turn over. Douglas A. Milroy notified the company's Board of Directors on July 23, 2026 of his decision to resign, with the departure taking effect on July 31, 2026. The company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24 to satisfy its reporting obligation under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Amy C. Becker, Donaldson's Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, signed the filing.
Ten years at the table
Milroy joined the Donaldson Company board in 2016. His exit on July 31 closes a tenure of approximately a decade. The filing enters the record under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, the provision covering director departures, director elections, officer appointments, and compensatory arrangements for certain officers. In this instance, only the departure item applies.
No reason for the resignation appears in the filing. Donaldson Company has named no successor and has not indicated when the vacancy will be filled. The eight-day span between Milroy's July 23 notification and his July 31 effective date is the full timeline the document puts on the record.
The filing details
Donaldson Company, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered at 1400 West 94th Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota 55431. The company's common stock carries a $5.00 par value and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker DCI. The SEC Commission file number is 1-7891 and the IRS Employer Identification Number is 41-0222640.
The July 24 filing carries none of the pre-commencement communication checkboxes for Rules 425, 14a-12, 14d-2(b), or 13e-4(c). The document is a standalone current report with no pending transaction or solicitation attached.
What to watch
The July 31 effective date is the next hard marker on the governance tape. A follow-on Form 8-K naming a replacement director under Item 5.02 would be the next confirmable event for the setup. Until that filing appears, the open seat is the unresolved item on Donaldson Company's director record for DCI holders.
