On June 29, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ITT Inc. (the “Company”) elected Bertrand Loy and Kevin Wheeler as directors of the Company, effective August 1, 2026. The Board believes that Mr. Loy’s extensive global experience leading industrial and technology-driven manufacturing businesses and Mr. Wheeler’s extensive global industrial manufacturing leadership experience will provide valuable expertise to the Company.
The Board also considered the independence of Messrs. Loy and Wheeler under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles and concluded that Messrs. Loy and Wheeler are each independent under these standards.

Messrs. Loy and Wheeler will receive compensation for, and be entitled to indemnification in connection with, their service as members of the Board consistent with the Company’s normal arrangements for non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As described in the proxy statement, each of Messrs. Loy and Wheeler will receive a prorated annual cash retainer and restricted stock unit award promptly following his election.
