AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Carpenter Technology (CRS)

Carpenter Technology adds Ken Giacobbe, former Howmet CFO, to board; two directors leaving

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Carpenter Technology appointed Kenneth J. Giacobbe, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Howmet Aerospace, to its Board of Directors effective August 11, 2026. Directors Howard Yu and Colleen Pritchett also said they will leave the board at the October 6, 2026 annual meeting, with Yu stepping down and Pritchett not standing for re-election; the filing says neither departure was due to a disagreement with the company.

Key points

  • Ken Giacobbe appointed to the Board effective August 11, 2026 as a Class III director, term ending at the 2028 annual meeting; he is independent and has no committee assignments yet
  • Howard Yu will step down as a director effective October 6, 2026; Colleen Pritchett will not run for re-election at the 2026 annual meeting
  • After October 6, 2026, the Board will have 10 members, 9 of them independent, down from 12 members with 11 independent
