From Statement from CAVCO via Media Release
“Mr. Stegmayer stepped down from his position as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company after an internal investigation, conducted by independent legal counsel, identified certain violations of Company policy related to securities trading activities conducted by Mr. Stegmayer.
The Board’s decision to transition Mr. Stegmayer to a non-executive role allows the Company to retain his deep industry and operational experience. “The Board took actions that it believes to be in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders,” commented Mr. Boor. “Cavco remains a strong Company and is well positioned for the future under Dan’s leadership,” said a statement by Cavco provided to MHProNews from various sources, that is found in its entirety, linked here as a download.
New Leaders at CAVCO?
“Cavco Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVCO) (the “Company”) announced executive leadership changes. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has appointed Daniel Urness as President and Acting Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. In his new role, Mr. Urness will be responsible for day-to-day leadership of the Company. The Company also announced that Joshua Barsetti, the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer, will assume the duties of principal financial officer for purposes of financial filings and certifications.
