Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or

Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 22, 2026, Regal Rexnord Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Aamir Paul will succeed Louis V. Pinkham as the Company’s Chief Executive

Officer, effective no later than July 1, 2026, upon the conclusion of his responsibilities with his current employer, Schneider Electric SE (“Schneider”). The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company has also determined that Mr. Paul will

serve on the Board as a director, effective on the commencement of his employment with the Company and the resignation of Mr. Pinkham as a director, with an initial term continuing until the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of shareholders. The

Company had previously announced Mr. Pinkham’s transition on October 29, 2025.

Mr. Paul, age 48, has served as President of North America and a member of the Executive Committee of Schneider, a leading global energy management

and automation company, since 2022. Prior to this, Mr. Paul held positions of increasing responsibility at Schneider from 2013 to 2022, including as U.S. Country President for more than three years, where he was responsible for its commercial

operations, and as the leader of the Business Operations and the National Sales teams for the U.S. Mr. Paul also previously worked at Dell Technologies Inc., a global technology company, where he held several key roles, including serving as

Senior Vice President of Server Solutions, leading the development and execution of the go-to-market strategy for key markets and customer segments worldwide. Mr. Paul also serves as a board member of USG Corporation, a privately-held

manufacturer of building materials and innovative solutions, and as director for the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), National Association of Electrical Distributors, and the

Executives’ Club of Chicago. Mr. Paul holds a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from Northwestern University and has completed advanced management studies at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business and INSEAD.

In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Paul entered into an offer letter with the Company providing for an annual base

salary of $1,200,000, an annual target bonus opportunity equal to 130% of base salary (pro-rated for 2026), eligibility for an annual long-term incentive award with a target value of $7,250,000 for 2026, and eligibility to participate in the

Company’s other employee benefit plans. To compensate Mr. Paul for certain compensation that he will forfeit from Schneider, he will also receive (i) a sign-on cash award of $575,000, repayable upon a termination for cause or a resignation

without good reason within one year of the commencement of his employment with the Company and (ii) a grant of restricted stock units with a value of $8,200,000, vesting ratably on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date or earlier

upon a termination without cause or a resignation for good reason. Mr. Paul will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Severance Policy at the benefit levels applicable to the Chief Executive Officer and to receive severance

benefits thereunder in the event of a termination without cause or resignation for good reason.

As previously disclosed, effective as of June 30, 2026, or an earlier mutually agreed date, Mr. Pinkham will cease to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and

in all other officer and director positions he holds at the Company and its affiliates.

Dear Aamir:

On behalf of Regal Rexnord Corporation (the “Company”), I am pleased to confirm the terms of employment offered by the Company in

connection with your role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective as of no later than July 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). We are excited about the opportunity to work with you in this new capacity and believe your leadership will be

instrumental in driving the Company’s continued growth and success.

1. Position. Your position shall be Chief Executive Officer, and you shall devote your full business time and attention to such position. You shall report to the Company’s Board of Directors

(the “Board”), and you shall perform such duties as reasonably requested by the Board. In addition, the Board will appoint you to serve as a member of the Board upon the Effective Date. During your employment, you may also (a) serve on

charitable or nonprofit boards, (b) manage your personal investments and (c) serve as a non-employee director on the board of one for-profit entity (in addition to your service on the Board of the Company) subject to the prior consent of the Board;

provided that, in each case of clauses (a) through (c), such activities do not interfere with your duties with the Company or violate the restrictive covenants in Section 12.

2. Work Location. Your primary work location will be at the Company’s offices in Rosemont, Illinois. You will also be required to travel as dictated by business needs.

3. Base Salary. Your annual base salary shall be $1,200,000 (“Base Salary”), payable on the Company’s standard payroll dates and subject to deductions and withholdings as required by applicable

law.

4. Annual Incentive Bonus. Your target bonus opportunity shall be 130% of Base Salary, and shall be prorated for 2026 to reflect a partial year of service beginning on the Effective Date. The

terms and conditions of the annual incentive plan applicable to the Company’s officers, including the applicable performance goals, will be subject to the determination of the Board (or an applicable subcommittee) each year.

5. Long-Term Incentive Awards. You shall be eligible to receive annual grants of long-term incentive awards as determined by the Board (or an applicable subcommittee). For 2026, the target

value of such awards shall equal $7,250,000, of which 60% shall be granted in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (the “2026 PSUs”) and 40% shall be granted in the form of restricted stock units (the “2026 RSUs”). The 2026 PSUs

and 2026 RSUs will be granted no later than 30 days following the Effective Date. The 2026 PSUs shall have a performance period and vesting schedule that aligns with other participants in the long-term incentive plan, including a cliff vesting

date in February 2029. The 2026 RSUs shall vest ratably over three years from the date of grant, subject to your continued employment through each such vesting date. The terms and conditions of the long-term incentive plan applicable to the Company’s officers, including the applicable performance goals, the mix of long-term incentive vehicles and the timing of applicable grants, will be subject

to the determination of the Board (or an applicable subcommittee) each year.

6. Make-Whole Cash Award. You shall be eligible to receive a one-time cash award in the amount of $575,000 (the “Make-Whole Cash Award”), which is intended to replace the annual cash

bonus you would have received from your prior employer for the 2026 performance year (prorated at target level for your length of service during such performance period) to the extent such bonus is forfeited as a result of your resignation. The Make-Whole Cash Award will be granted no later than 30 days following the

Effective Date. If you resign without Good Reason or are terminated for Cause (each as defined in the Company’s Executive Severance Policy) before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, you will be required to repay the full gross

amount of the Make-Whole Cash Award to the Company.

7. Buy-Out RSU Award. You shall be eligible to receive a one-time award of restricted stock units with a target value of $8,200,000 (the “Buy-Out RSU Award”), which will be granted as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. The Buy-Out RSU Award is intended to compensate you for awards that you will forfeit as a result of your

resignation from your prior employer. One-half of the Buy-Out RSU Award shall vest on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to your continued employment through each such vesting date. If you are

terminated without Cause or resign for Good Reason (each as defined in the Company’s Executive Severance Policy) before the Buy-Out RSU Award is fully vested, the remaining unvested portion of the Buy-Out RSU Award will become immediately vested,

subject to your compliance with the Release requirement of the Company’s Executive Severance Policy.

8. Paid Time Off. You shall be entitled to paid time off in accordance with the Company’s policies, as in effect from time to time.

situated officers of the Company and as approved by the Board (or an applicable subcommittee) from time to time, in accordance with the eligibility provisions and other terms and conditions of such plans and programs.

3. Non-Competition During

Employment.

During Employee’s employment with Company, Employee will devote such business time, attention and energies reasonably necessary to the diligent and

Company during the Measurement Period (as defined above).

7. Non-Interference with

Existing Relationships.

Commencing on the termination of Employee’s employment, for whatever reason and regardless of whether voluntary or involuntary, and during the

Non-competition Period, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, request or advise any Active Customers, or suppliers or vendors of Company about whom Employee acquired Proprietary Information through Employee’s employment with the Company and who

entity who intends to compete with the Company). Nothing in this Agreement shall otherwise prohibit Employee’s future employer from hiring Company’s employees without Employee’s involvement.

9. Specific Performance

and Other Remedies.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to Company may result in the event that Employee breaches any covenant in this Agreement, and

that the remedy at law for the breach of any such covenant will be inadequate. If Employee engages in any act in violation of any provision of paragraphs 3 through 8, Employee agrees that Company shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies

and damages that may be available to it by law or under this Agreement, to injunctive relief to enforce such provisions without the necessity of posting a bond. Additionally, the Company shall be entitled to collect from Employee any costs and

expenses, including its reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with its successful enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement.

(a) This Agreement does not

constitute a guarantee of employment or alter Employee’s at-will employment status. Either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason. Termination of employment shall not affect the enforceability of this

Agreement.

(b) All provisions in this

Agreement, including subparagraphs, are severable, and the unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision. The parties agree that each covenant contained in paragraphs 3 through 8 is separate and

(d) The failure by Company

to enforce any right or remedy available to it under this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such right or remedy with respect to any other prior, concurrent or subsequent breach or failure. No waiver of rights under this Agreement

shall be effective unless made in writing with specific reference to this Agreement.

(e) Employee agrees that

Company may notify any third party about Employee’s obligations under this Agreement until such time as Employee has performed all of Employee’s obligations hereunder. Upon Company’s request, Employee agrees to provide Company with information,

including, but not limited to, supplying details of Employee’s subsequent employment, sufficient to verify that Employee has not breached, or is not breaching, any covenant in this Agreement.

(f) The parties agree that

nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or negate any statutory or common law of torts or trade secrets, where such law provides Company with broader protection than that provided in this Agreement. During Employee’s employment by

Company, Employee shall do what is reasonably necessary to prevent misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of Company’s trade secrets. After termination of employment, Employee shall not use or disclose Company’s trade secrets as long as they

remain trade secrets. Employee understands, however, that Employee may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (i) in confidence to a Federal, State,

or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, provided that such disclosure is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a

lawsuit or other proceeding and that such filing is made under seal. Additionally, in the event Employee files a lawsuit against the Company for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee has the right to provide trade secret

information to Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, although Employee must file any document containing the trade secret under seal and may not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

A-4

Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has carefully read this Agreement, understands its contents, has been given the opportunity to ask any

questions concerning the Agreement and its contents, and has signed this Agreement as Employee’s free and voluntary act.

Regal Rexnord Corporation Announces Aamir Paul As Its Next Chief Executive Officer

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.”

Added Mr. Paul, “As I have come to know Regal Rexnord, I have become increasingly excited about the tremendous

growth potential of the Company’s portfolio, its unique scale and scope, and its market-leading technologies. I look forward to further capitalizing on Regal’s 80/20 operating philosophy to drive continued focus, execution, and value creation

across the enterprise. I am eager to work with the talented team at Regal Rexnord and leverage my commercial and operational experience to help ensure the Company maximizes its full potential for its customers, its people, and its shareholders.”

Mr. Paul holds a B.S. in chemical engineering from Northwestern University, and has completed advanced management studies at The University of Chicago Booth School

of Business and INSEAD. He serves as a board member of USG Corporation, a privately-held manufacturer of building materials and innovative solutions. He is also actively involved in industry and civic leadership, serving on the boards of

organizations including the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the National Association of Electrical Distributors, and the Executives’ Club of Chicago.

The Company does not plan to provide additional commentary on the CEO transition prior to its first quarter earnings conference call, scheduled for May 7, 2026.
