AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Rockwell Automation (ROK)

Rockwell Automation signs new change of control agreements with five named officers

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

On September 30, 2025, Rockwell Automation entered into change of control agreements with Blake D. Moret, Christian E. Rothe, Scott A. Genereux, Tessa M. Myers, Rebecca W. House and certain other officers, replacing agreements that expired on September 30, 2025. The new agreements take effect if a change of control occurs between September 30, 2025 and October 1, 2028, and their terms are described as substantially the same as the expired agreements. The filing is a routine renewal of existing executive protections rather than a change in leadership.

Key points

  • Agreements dated September 30, 2025 replace Change of Control Agreements dated September 30, 2022, which expired by their terms on September 30, 2025.
  • Agreements take effect on a change of control occurring on or after September 30, 2025 and before October 1, 2028.
  • Filing includes the Moret agreement (Exhibit 99.1) and the form of agreement for other officers (Exhibit 99.2).
