In other recent news, Rent the Runway, Inc. has announced notable changes within its leadership and compensation structure. Emil Michael, a member of the board, has resigned from his position, with the company stating that the resignation was not due to any disagreements over operations or policies. Alongside this, Rent the Runway’s Compensation Committee has implemented a new cash retention bonus program for fiscal year 2025, targeting executive officers and other eligible participants. This program includes Co-Founder, CEO, President, and Chair Jennifer Hyman, and CFO Siddharth Thacker, aiming to incentivize performance and loyalty.

The retention bonus is structured with 50% based on company performance metrics like growth in active subscribers, and 50% on continued service, with bonuses distributed quarterly. Participants can earn between 75% to 100% of the target level, depending on performance each fiscal quarter, provided they remain employed in good standing. In cases of termination without cause or resignation for good reason after a significant transaction, participants might still receive part of the bonus. Hyman’s target retention bonus is set at $1.5 million, while Thacker’s is $420,000. This move underscores Rent the Runway’s focus on retaining key leaders amid ongoing growth and operational development.
