Midland States Bancorp, Inc. 8-K Mar 6, 2026 Event Analysis

Item 5.02 · Departure/Election of Directors or Officers

  • • CFO Eric Lemke terminated March 5, 2026 — abrupt removal of principal financial officer signals leadership instability
  • • Claire Stack, age 37, appointed interim CFO; joined MSBI only in November 2025 as Corporate Controller — very short tenure before elevation
  • • Stack's change-of-control severance = 150% of salary plus 3-year average bonus, plus 12 months COBRA — meaningful protection suggesting board anticipates potential transaction
  • • Agreement runs through Dec 31, 2026 with auto-renewal; 12-month non-compete/non-solicit post-departure
  • • Big 4 background (PwC, KPMG) and CPA credential offer credibility, but "interim" title signals permanent CFO search likely underway
