In a subsequent move, the Board appointed Kenneth D. Krause as a Class I director, also effective March 16, 2026. Mr. Krause brings a wealth of experience to the Board, having served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Rollins, Inc., a global pest control services company, since September 2022. His tenure at Rollins has been marked by modernization initiatives that have enhanced growth and profitability, as well as improved capital allocation strategies.
Prior to his role at Rollins, Mr. Krause held various senior positions at MSA Safety Incorporated, where he was instrumental in driving transformational changes that positively impacted the company's growth and profitability. He is a Certified Public Accountant and holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Accounting from Slippery Rock University, along with an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh.
Mr. Krause's appointment is expected to strengthen the Board's oversight capabilities, particularly in financial matters, as he will also serve on the Audit Committee and the Litigation Committee. The company has indicated that Mr. Krause will enter into a customary indemnification agreement, consistent with those of other directors, ensuring that he is protected in his new role.
These changes come at a time when Sotera Health is focusing on enhancing its governance structure and operational execution, aiming to position itself for future growth and stability in the market. The company continues to emphasize its commitment to strong governance controls and strategic oversight as it navigates the complexities of the healthcare sector.
