Enerpac Tool Group grants performance awards tied to SFE Group acquisition
Enerpac Tool Group approved a long-term incentive program on October 13, 2026, granting performance-vesting stock awards to four named executive officers linked to its previously announced acquisition of Specialized Fabrication Equipment Group LLC (SFE Group). The awards vest based on fiscal 2028 net sales and adjusted EBITDA, and are forfeited if the acquisition does not close by November 30, 2026.
