Mr. DeMartino as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer upon Mr. DeMartino’s retirement, but Mr. Campbell has informed
the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) that he will not be assuming those roles due to personal reasons. As a

for the company’s corporate consolidation and internal and external financial reporting, including its Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K
and related filings with the SEC; oversight of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and technical accounting matters; purchase and divestiture accounting
for the company’s mergers, acquisitions and dispositions; statutory reporting for the company’s global legal entities; and
engagement with the company’s audit committee, board of directors and independent registered public accounting firm. Mr. Ingianni’s
prior roles at Barnes Group Inc. include service as Assistant Controller from October 2023 to September 2024, Director, Technical Accounting
and SEC Reporting from November 2014 to October 2023, and SEC Reporting and Technical Accounting Manager, from August 2011 to November

M.S. in Accounting, and an M.B.A. in Finance, each from the University of Connecticut, and is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in
the State of Connecticut.
There is no arrangement or understanding between
Mr. Ingianni and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Ingianni was selected as an officer within the meaning of Item 401(b) of Regulation
S-K, nor are there any family relationships between Mr. Ingianni and any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by
the Company to become a director or executive officer of the Company within the meaning of Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K. Since the beginning

As previously reported, on May 7, 2026, the Board
appointed Mr. Campbell to serve as Principal Accounting Officer of the Company, effective May 8, 2026.
On June 26, 2026, Mr. Campbell advised the Board
that he would step down as Principal Accounting Officer effective June 30, 2026. Mr. Campbell will continue in a non-executive officer
role in the Company’s finance department. Mr. Campbell’s decision to step down was not the result of any disagreement with

On June 26, 2026, the Board determined that Mr.
Ingianni will serve as the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer effective as of the Start Date.
