NEW YORK, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WW International, Inc. (Nasdaq: WW) (“Weight Watchers” or the “Company”), the global leader in science-backed weight management, today announced the following updates to the composition of its Board of Directors’ standing committees following the appointments of Lisa Gavales and Sue Gove as independent directors:

Office of the CEO Update
As previously announced, the Board established a Transition Committee to oversee the Office of the CEO, which comprises Felicia DellaFortuna, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Jon Volkmann, the Company’s Chief Operations Officer. The Office of the CEO will also benefit from the counsel of the Company’s newly appointed directors, Ms. Gavales and Ms. Gove.

Accordingly, the Board has determined that the Company is well positioned to continue under its existing Office of the CEO structure and therefore will not appoint an interim CEO. The Board believes the current structure provides strong, experienced leadership and continuity in the Office of CEO, enabling the Company to maintain strategic momentum during the search for a permanent CEO, which is being conducted with the support of a leading executive search firm.
