On November 13, 2025, Emerson's Compensation Committee approved special performance-based stock option awards to CEO Lal Karsanbhai and COO Ram Krishnan, 350,000 options each. The company says the awards are designed so shareholders must see significant stock price appreciation for the executives to receive full value.
Each executive received 350,000 options in five tranches of 70,000, with exercise prices from $128.46 (the November 13 NYSE closing price) to $256.92 (a 100% premium).
The four higher-priced tranches are set at premiums of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% over the grant-date closing price.
Options vest pro rata over five years, with 14,000 per tranche vesting each year, and must be exercised within 10 years of the grant date.
The awards require continued employment, include confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation obligations, and accelerate on death, disability or a double-trigger change in control under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the AI's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.
Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
