ITEM 5.02(b) DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS
On September 22, 2015, Mary Agnes Wilderotter notified The Procter & Gamble Company (the "Company") of her decision not to stand for re-election to the Company's Board of Directors at the October 13, 2015 annual meeting of shareholders. This decision was made in connection with Ms. Wilderotter's transition to Executive Chairman of Frontier Communications earlier this year and her desire to pursue other interests.
In light of this decision and consistent with the terms of the Company's Code of Regulations, the Board has decreased the size of the Board from thirteen to twelve members, effective with commencement of the Company's annual meeting of shareholders, and therefore no other nominee for election at the annual meeting will be named in Ms. Wilderotter's place.
The Company is filing this 8-K pursuant to Item 5.02(b), "Departure of Certain Officers and Directors."
