SECTION 5 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 6, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Crane NXT, Co. (the “Company”) appointed Jeong H. Kim to serve as a director of the Board, effective October 29, 2026, for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

Mr. Kim’s compensation will be consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed director compensation program for non-employee directors, which is described in the Company’s most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2026, under the heading “Compensation of Directors” (as such program has been updated from time to time). Mr. Kim’s compensation will be prorated to reflect the commencement date of his Board service. In addition, the Company and Mr. Kim will enter into an indemnification agreement substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10(iii)(g) to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025.

There were no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Mr. Kim was elected as director, and there are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Kim that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Kim to the Board is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
