Timken appointed Lucian Boldea, most recently CEO of Honeywell's Industrial Automation unit, as President and CEO effective September 1, 2025, and also to its board, which will grow from twelve to thirteen directors. Richard G. Kyle, who has been interim CEO, will retire from that role and stay on as an employee advisor through November 14, 2025. The filing lists large sign-on and special equity awards, which shareholders may weigh as part of the leadership transition.
Boldea's base salary is $1,100,000 per year, with a short-term incentive target of 125% of base salary.
Sign-on package includes a $1,500,000 cash payment and RSUs with a target grant value of approximately $6,037,500, plus a $7,000,000 Special Grant.
Kyle will remain principal executive officer until the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 is filed, then Boldea assumes the role.
Boldea's severance agreement provides two times base salary and incentive pay before a change in control, and three times within two years after one.
Timken appointed Michael A. Discenza as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective immediately, replacing Philip Fracassa, who will remain with the company until September 5, 2025, to pursue another opportunity. The filing states the departure was not due to any financial or accounting issue or disagreement with the Board or company.
Michael A. Discenza, age 54, was previously Vice President – Finance & Group Controller since October 2022 and has over 25 years with the company.
Discenza's base salary is $500,000 per year, with a short-term incentive target of 70% of base salary.
Beginning in 2026, his long-term equity incentive target grant value is approximately $1.1 million for the first year.
