Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 20, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ITT Inc. (the “Company”), acting on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, elected Ms. Mary Laschinger to its Board of Directors, effective immediately following its annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on May 21, 2025. The Board believes that Ms. Laschinger’s extensive global experience with industrial companies that operate in markets similar to the Company will provide valuable expertise to the Company.
The Board also considered the independence of Ms. Laschinger under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and the Company's Corporate Governance Principles and concluded that Ms. Laschinger is an independent director under these standards.
The Board appointed Ms. Laschinger to the Company’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee, effective May 21, 2025.
Ms. Laschinger is not a party to any arrangement or understanding pursuant to which she was elected to the Board, nor is she or any of her immediate family members a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transaction with the Company that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Ms. Laschinger will receive compensation and be subject to indemnification for serving as a member of the Board consistent with the Company’s normal arrangements for non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As described in the proxy statement, Ms. Laschinger will receive an annual cash retainer and restricted stock unit award promptly following her election.
In connection with the above matters, the Board increased its size to eleven directors.
A copy of the press release related to Ms. Laschinger’s election is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated into this Form 8-K by reference.
