CEO stated transition 'on or before end of fiscal year' (Sept 2026). Board already formed search committee. External searches for mid-cap CPG companies typically take 4-6 months. With 7 months remaining, timeline is achievable.

External CEO searches sometimes take longer than expected, especially during periods of company turmoil. The securities litigation and stock decline may narrow the candidate pool. Some candidates may want to wait for the lawsuit to resolve.

Board has strong incentive to move quickly — the leadership vacuum during competitive pressure and litigation is costly. Post Holdings connection (Vitale) provides executive network. Interim CEO could also count.

The CEO explicitly said 'on or before' fiscal year end. Boards almost always meet self-imposed timelines for CEO transitions. The question resolves YES for permanent appointment, which should happen.

High probability but not certain. External searches can be delayed by candidate negotiations, non-competes, or unexpected complications. 80% accounts for the small probability of delay.

Central estimate. The explicit timeline, board urgency, and CPG executive market depth all favor YES. Minor risk of delay if the class action creates complications.
