Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 5, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Heath Sharp as a director of the Company, and determined Mr. Sharp qualifies as an “independent director” for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Mr. Sharp will serve as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Sharp was not selected pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person. In connection with his appointment, the Board increased its size from seven to eight directors.
Mr. Sharp, age 57, is an industrial executive with more than three decades of international leadership in manufacturing, product development, and commercial execution. Mr. Sharp has served Reliance Worldwide Corporation (ASX: RWC) as Chief Executive Officer since 2015 and Managing Director since 2016, and has led the company’s transformation from a regionally focused manufacturer into a global, publicly listed leader in water control systems and plumbing solutions. A mechanical engineer by training, Heath joined Reliance Worldwide Corporation in 1990 and has held key leadership roles across Australia, the U.S., and the U.K., giving him operational depth and cultural fluency in multiple markets. Mr. Sharp earned a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southern Queensland.
Mr. Sharp’s compensation for his services as a director will be consistent with that of the Company’s other non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2025. There are no transactions in which Mr. Sharp has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Sharp has been named to the Audit Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board.
