MILWAUKEE, WI, April 22, 2026 – Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX) announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Aamir Paul to serve as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) commencing no later than July 1, 2026, upon the conclusion of his responsibilities with his current employer, Schneider Electric SE. The Board has also determined that Mr. Paul will serve as a member of the Board of Directors effective upon the commencement of his employment with the Company, with an initial term continuing until the Company’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

As previously disclosed on October 29, 2025, the Board initiated a comprehensive search to identify a successor to current CEO, Louis Pinkham. To help ensure continuity and a smooth leadership transition, Mr. Pinkham will remain CEO until Mr. Paul’s start date, at which time Mr. Paul will succeed him. Mr. Pinkham will also resign from the Board of Directors effective on his last day as CEO.

Mr. Paul, age 48, is a recognized leader with deep global experience across sales, strategy, and operations management having lived and worked in Europe and the U.S. He joins Regal Rexnord from Schneider Electric, a leading global energy management and automation company, where he serves as President of North America. Mr. Paul took over the North America business in 2022, at which time he also joined the Executive Committee, and proceeded to grow the business at double digit rates through 2025.  In 2025, the business generated over $17 billion (USD) in revenue, employed over 43,000 people, and ran over 35 manufacturing facilities.

Mr. Paul joined Schneider Electric in 2013 and, during his tenure, held multiple senior leadership roles of increasing responsibility across sales, business operations, and commercial execution. Prior to Schneider Electric, Mr. Paul spent over 13 years at Dell Technologies in sales roles with increasing seniority, ultimately serving as SVP, Global Server Solutions Sales, where he led Dell’s worldwide go-to-market strategy for servers and oversaw global sales for Data Center Solutions and High‑Performance Computing.

“After a comprehensive search, the Board concluded that Aamir is an exceptional leader who is well-prepared to guide Regal Rexnord through its next phase of growth” said Rakesh Sachdev, Non-Executive Chairman of Regal Rexnord’s Board of Directors. “The Board is excited about many aspects of Aamir’s background, but in particular, his long track record driving growth across complex global businesses, his commitment to building strong teams and developing talent, his ability to foster an innovation culture, and his deep experience in the core strategic Regal Rexnord growth markets, including data center and discrete automation. He also brings a strong appreciation for how leadership in energy efficiency and sustainability creates long-term value for a company’s key stakeholders.”

Mr. Sachdev continued, “On behalf of the Board, I want to again thank Louis Pinkham for his outstanding leadership and many contributions to Regal Rexnord. Part of Louis’s enduring legacy will be the strength of Regal Rexnord’s values, talent, and transformed portfolio, which we believe position the Company well for continued success. We wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”
