On February 13, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the termination of the domestic Franklin Electric Co, Inc. Pension Plan (the “Plan”). On July 9, 2025, lump sum distributions of $59.9 million were made to eligible participants who elected that payment option to settle the obligation. On July 29, 2025, the Company settled its benefit obligation under the Plan for the remaining participants with the purchase of a nonparticipating, single premium annuity contract from a third-party insurance company, for $28.9 million. In connection with the termination and settlement of the Plan, the Company recognized a non-cash pension settlement gross loss of $55.3 million during Q3 related to the actuarial losses previously accumulated in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, which was included in the “Pension settlement loss” line of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.
