Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (NYSE: EPAC) (“Enerpac” or the “Company”) today announced that Rick Dillon, who has served as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since 2016, will depart from the Company to pursue new opportunities. To ensure a smooth transition, Mr. Dillon will remain as CFO through April 30, 2022 or such later date as Mr. Dillon and the Company may mutually agree.

The Company has initiated a comprehensive search to identify Enerpac’s next CFO, and has retained a leading executive search firm to assist with the process. The search process will consider both internal and external candidates for the role.

Paul Sternlieb, President and CEO of Enerpac Tool Group, said, “On behalf of the Board and management team, I would like to thank Rick for his leadership, dedication to Enerpac, and his many contributions toward putting the Company on its path of long-term value creation.

We appreciate that Rick will continue in his role to help ensure a smooth transition.”

I am proud of the talented team we have built, and I have great confidence in the future of Enerpac. While I am excited to pursue the next steps in my own career, I look forward to continuing to serve as CFO throughout the transition.”
