Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 10, 2026, Sprout Social, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a transition in the role of Chief Technology Officer. Aaron Rankin, a founder of the Company, former Chief Technology Officer and current member of the Company’s Board of Directors, will assume the role of Chief Technology Officer, effective August 3, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). Mr. Rankin will remain a member of the Board of Directors.
Alan Boyce, the Company’s current Chief Technology Officer, resigned from his role, effective as of the Effective Date. Mr. Boyce will continue to serve as Chief Technology Officer until the Effective Date and will partner with Mr. Rankin to support a smooth transition. Mr. Boyce has been with the Company for nearly 16 years and has made meaningful contributions to the Company’s growth, technology organization and product foundation. The Company is grateful for what Mr. Boyce has built, his leadership and his deep care for the team and his craft. Mr. Boyce’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company.
A copy of the text of Mr. Rankin’s LinkedIn post about the transition is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on management’s current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. These forward-looking statements are only predictions, not historical fact, and involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions. Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made herein including the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on May 8, 2026 as well as other factors described from time to time in the Company's other filings with the SEC. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If it does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that the Company will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
