Chemours Adopts Executive Severance Policy With Cash Severance for Executives

Neutral leadership Written later 5.02

Chemours adopted an Executive Severance Policy on October 28, 2025, covering executive officers and certain designated employees. Under the policy, a CEO terminated without cause or resigning for good reason would receive 2.0 times the sum of base salary, target annual incentive and annualized health care subsidy, while other participants would receive 1.0 times that sum. The policy sets severance terms for participants but does not change existing change-in-control agreements or outstanding equity awards, so its effect on shareholders depends on how many people are designated and when terminations occur.

  • Policy adopted by the Board on October 28, 2025, effective the same day.
  • CEO cash severance: 2.0 times base salary, target annual incentive and annualized health care subsidy.
  • Other executive officers and employees: 1.0 times the same sum.

Regal Rexnord CEO Louis Pinkham to step down as board launches CEO search

Neutral leadership Written later 5.027.01

Regal Rexnord said CEO Louis Pinkham will separate from his role while the Board searches for a successor, with his departure taking effect on the earlier of March 31, 2026 or the appointment of a new CEO.

  • The Board formed a search committee of four independent directors, assisted by a leading executive search firm.
