General
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane NXT. Effective as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 3, 2023 (the “Distribution Date”), Crane NXT completed the Spin-Off through a pro rata distribution to holders of record of Crane NXT’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Crane NXT Common Stock”), as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 23, 2023 (the “Record Date”), of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Company Common Stock”), for every one share of Crane NXT Common Stock held by such Crane NXT stockholders as of the Record Date (the “Distribution”). The Company is now an independent public company and expects that Company Common Stock will commence trading “regular way” under the symbol “CR” on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on April 4, 2023, which is the next trading day following the Distribution Date. Immediately following the Spin-Off, Crane NXT changed its name from “Crane Holdings, Co.” to “Crane NXT, Co.”, and Crane NXT expects that, on April 4, 2023, Crane NXT Common Stock will cease trading under the ticker symbol “CR” and will commence trading under its new symbol “CXT” on the NYSE on April 4, 2023, which is the next trading day following the Distribution Date. Crane NXT did not issue fractional shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Distribution. Following the Spin-Off, Crane NXT does not beneficially own any shares of Company Common Stock and will no longer consolidate the Company within Crane NXT’s financial results.
