Item 5.03 Departure of Directors or Certain Offices; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
​
On December 17, 2020, James Clarke, a member of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of PetIQ, Inc. (the "Company"), notified the Board that he would resign from the Board effective December 31, 2020.  Mr. Clarke's decision to resign from the Board was not due to a disagreement with the Company over any of its operations, policies or practices.  The Board has taken action to reduce the size of the Board reduced from six to five directors effective upon Mr. Clarke's resignation on December 31, 2020.
​
Item 8.01  Other Events.
​
The Board understands the importance of adding diverse, experienced talent to the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board is in the process of a director search process.  As a result, the Board intends to add at least two new directors to the Board in the first quarter of 2021, one of which is expected to be a female director.

Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions or future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could" and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performances, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, our ability to identify qualified director candidates and the risks set forth under the "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other reports filed time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Consequently, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
