Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 29, 2025, Regal Rexnord Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Louis Pinkham, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer will separate from his role with the Company in connection with a Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) search process being led by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).  Mr. Pinkham’s separation from his role as CEO, and all other officer and director positions he holds at the Company and its affiliates, including as a member of the Board, will occur upon the earlier of March 31, 2026 and the date of the Board’s appointment of his successor. In connection with the search process, the Board has established a search committee comprised of four independent directors and the committee is being assisted by a leading executive search firm.

Mr. Pinkham’s departure will be treated as a termination without cause under the Company’s previously disclosed Executive Severance Policy, and Mr. Pinkham will receive compensation at the time of his departure consistent with the terms of the Executive Severance Policy.  In the event Mr. Pinkham’s successor is appointed prior to March 31, 2026, Mr. Pinkham will remain employed as an advisor to the Company through such date to facilitate an orderly leadership transition, during which period he will receive his base salary as currently in effect and continued vesting in his existing equity-based awards as awarded under the Company’s equity plans.

The terms of Mr. Pinkham’s departure are documented in a Transition Agreement and General Release of Claims between the Company and Mr. Pinkham, dated October 27, 2025 (the “Transition Agreement”), which was approved by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board in consultation with its independent compensation consultant and is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, and in consideration for the payments made upon his separation, Mr. Pinkham has agreed to a customary general release of claims against the Company and non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, and non-disparagement covenants.

Mr. Pinkham’s departure is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
