Regal Rexnord said CEO Louis Pinkham will separate from his role while the Board searches for a successor, with his departure taking effect on the earlier of March 31, 2026 or the appointment of a new CEO. The filing says he will remain CEO until a successor is identified, and that his exit is not the result of any dispute with the company. The Board credited his tenure, which began in April 2019, with raising enterprise value to $15 billion from about $4.5 billion, which matters to shareholders because the company's top executive role will change hands.
Pinkham's CEO role and all other officer and director positions, including his Board seat, end on the earlier of March 31, 2026 or the date his successor is appointed.
The Board formed a search committee of four independent directors, assisted by a leading executive search firm.
The departure is treated as a termination without cause under the Executive Severance Policy, under a Transition Agreement dated October 27, 2025 (Exhibit 10.1).
The October 29, 2025 press release says enterprise value grew to $15 billion from about $4.5 billion during Pinkham's tenure, with total shareholder return of nearly 100% including reinvested dividends.

The company also lowered its 2025 guidance, with GAAP diluted EPS now expected at $4.26 to $4.56 and adjusted diluted EPS at $9.50 to $9.80, mainly due to tariffs and China rare earth magnet trade policies.

The filing gives no financial figures, so the change mainly signals a planned leadership transition in one business unit.
