AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Ball (BALL)

Ball names Ronald Lewis CEO as Daniel Fisher steps down; Rabbitt named CFO

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Ball Corporation's board appointed Ronald J. Lewis as chief executive officer and a director, effective immediately, replacing Daniel W. Fisher, who also left the chairman role. Stuart A. Taylor II became chairman and the lead independent director position was eliminated, and Daniel Rabbitt was appointed chief financial officer. The company reaffirmed its full-year comparable diluted earnings per share growth outlook of 12-15%, so the leadership change came without a stated change to that guidance.

Key points

  • Ronald J. Lewis, 59, named CEO effective immediately, with a $1,000,000 initial base salary and a 150% target annual cash incentive
  • Stuart A. Taylor II named Chairman of the Board; the Lead Independent Director position was eliminated
  • Daniel Rabbitt, 57, appointed CFO effective immediately after serving as interim CFO since May 2025, with a $700,000 initial base salary
  • Company reaffirmed its full-year comparable diluted EPS growth outlook of 12-15%
