Appointment of second independent director
Company: Core Scientific
What the later record shows
Outcome not yet confirmed
The Feb 2026 8-K/A restates the commitment but no later passage reports a second independent director being appointed. No passage links any 2026 board appointment to the Cooperation Agreement.

How we checked this
Checked on October 10, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
The 8-K/A states that the second independent director will be appointed before or as soon as reasonably practicable after the 2026 annual meeting, and no later than September 15, 2026. The claim drops the word 'reasonably', which does not change its substance.
Confirmed in the source:
- Under the Cooperation Agreement with Two Seas Capital, Core Scientific agreed to appoint a second independent director
- The second appointment is to occur before, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders
- The second appointment is to occur no later than September 15, 2026
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1839341/000114036126006133/ef20066152_8ka.htm) in full (5,626 characters, retrieved August 31, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
