Patterson Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDCO) today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Don Zurbay, most recently Chief Financial Officer, as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Zurbay succeeds Mark Walchirk who resigned following the Board’s investigation and determination that he violated company policy and demonstrated poor judgment regarding an encounter with an employee. The conduct did not relate to the company’s operations or the integrity of the company’s financial statements. Mr. Zurbay has also been elected to the Board. Kevin Barry, currently Vice President, Finance & Corporate Controller, has been appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer.
