Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans
On December 15, 2025, Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (the “Company”) sent a notice required by Rule 104 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them of upcoming restrictions on the trading of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) due to a planned blackout period related to the Enerpac Tool Group Corp. 401(k) Plan, as amended (the “401(k) Plan”).
The blackout period is required to facilitate the elimination of the Enerpac Tool Group Corp. Stock fund (the “Company Stock Fund”) as an investment option under the 401(k) Plan and the liquidation of shares of Common Stock held in the Company Stock Fund. The 401(k) Plan had previously been amended to no longer permit any contributions to, or transfer of funds into, the Company Stock Fund. The blackout period will begin on December 31, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) and is expected to end at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) on January 13, 2026. During the blackout period, participants in the 401(k) Plan will be unable make investment changes with respect to the Company Stock Fund.
As described in the Notice, during the blackout period, the Company’s directors and executive officers will be prohibited from engaging in any transaction, within or outside of the 401(k) Plan, involving the Company’s equity securities, subject to limited exceptions. The term equity securities includes, without limitation, the Company’s common stock, options and other derivative securities.
Inquiries about the blackout period may be directed to Noah N. Popp, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Counsel, of the Company, at Enerpac Tool Group Corp., 648 N Plankinton Ave, 4th Floor, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203, or by phone at (262) 293-1500.
