(the “Company”), the Company’s shareowners approved the Rockwell Automation, Inc. 2026 Long-Term Incentives Plan (the “2026 Plan”). The 2026 Plan permits grants to be made from time to time as stock options, which may be non-qualified options or, solely for participants who are employees, incentive stock options eligible for special tax treatment, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares, or, solely for participants who are directors, shares of stock not subject to any restrictions. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for delivery under the 2026 Plan is 10.6 million, plus any shares of common stock subject to awards granted under the Rockwell Automation, Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentives Plan and the Rockwell Automation, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentives Plan that expire or are forfeited or cancelled, or shares that were covered by an award where the benefit is paid in cash instead of shares. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2026 Plan subject to shareowner approval. Shareowner approval was obtained in order to comply with the applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. Shareowner approval was also necessary under the federal income tax rules with respect to the qualification of incentive stock options. Additional details about the 2026 Plan are set forth in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 22, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”). The foregoing description of the 2026 Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2026 Plan, a copy of which is included as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K."}
