Item 5.02 · Departure/Election of Directors or Officers

  • Ecolab restructuring C-suite: Beck retains CEO/Chairman, gains President title; Brown and Cook named Co-COOs splitting Global Markets vs. Global Businesses, effective April 1, 2026
  • Leadership split signals operational scale-up — two COOs replacing one suggests increased complexity or geographic expansion focus
  • Brown relocating to Sydney (Australia HQ for Global Markets); base salary AU$1.3M (~$876K), 105% bonus target, $2.5M LTI
  • Cook (Global Businesses COO): base salary $750K, 105% bonus target, $2.2M LTI — slightly lower comp reflects domestic vs. international scope differential
  • Brown's 24-year tenure and Cook's 28-year tenure suggest internal succession depth; no outsider risk in leadership transition
