Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 31, 2026, Cameron Breitner resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Board’s committees, effective as of 12:01 am on August 1, 2026 (the “Effective Time”). Mr. Breitner’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company or on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

On August 1, 2026, the Board appointed Jeffrey Naylor as an independent Class I director, effective immediately upon the Effective Time, to fill the vacancy on the Board created by Mr. Breitner’s departure, to hold office until the next election of Class I directors and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, removal, retirement or disqualification. The Board determined that Mr. Naylor qualifies as an independent director under the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for purposes of serving on the Board and the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”). In connection with his appointment to the Board, Mr. Naylor was also appointed as a member and Chair of the Audit Committee, effective immediately upon the Effective Time.

 

Mr. Naylor served as Senior Corporate Advisor of the TJX Companies, Inc. (“TJX”), a retail company of apparel and home fashions, between 2013 and 2014. Prior to that, he served as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of TJX, between 2012 and 2013; as its Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, between 2009 and 2012; as its Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative and Business Development Officer, between 2007 and 2009; as its Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, between 2006 and 2007; and as its Chief Financial Officer between 2004 and 2006. Prior to joining TJX, Mr. Naylor served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Big Lots, Inc.; Senior Vice President, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer of Dade Behring, Inc.; and Vice President, Controller of The Limited, Inc. He is currently serving on the boards of Synchrony Financial, a premier consumer financial services company, and Wayfair, Inc., an e-commerce retailer of home furnishings and decor.

 

Mr. Naylor is deemed to be a designee of Scooby Aggregator, LP (“Principal Stockholder”), the Company’s controlling stockholder, for purposes of that certain Stockholder’s Agreement, dated as of January 19, 2021, by and among the Company and the Principal Stockholder. Mr. Naylor does not have any family relationships with any director or executive officer of the Company, and there are no transactions in which Mr. Naylor has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company will enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement for directors and certain officers with Mr. Naylor, a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.2 of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (filed with the Securities and Exchange commission (the “SEC”) on December 3, 2020), and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, as an independent director of the Board, Mr. Naylor will receive compensation under the Company’s director compensation program as described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on May 14, 2026.
