Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 5, 2025, Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier” or the “Company”) repurchased 4,267,425 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) from Viessmann Traeger HoldCo GmbH (“Viessmann HoldCo”), an entity controlled by Maximilian Viessmann, one of the Company’s directors, for an aggregate purchase price of $300 million. The price per share of $70.30 represented a 1.5406% discount from the closing price of the Common Stock on June 5, 2025, and was equal to the price per share at which Viessmann HoldCo simultaneously sold the same number of shares to a third party broker pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The repurchases were made pursuant to the Company’s existing share repurchase authorization.
Mr. Viessmann stated, “Combining with Carrier was transformational for Viessmann Climate Solutions, Carrier and the industry. Serving on the Board has given me profound excitement about the combination and the impact that, together, we will have for our customers, people and the planet for generations to come. I am selling a small percentage of my shares for typical diversification reasons, but I remain the largest non-institutional shareholder and currently aim both to keep it that way and to continue serving on Carrier’s Board for years to come. I could not have more confidence in Carrier, its leadership and the growth that, together, we will achieve.” Viessmann HoldCo has advised the Company that it will not sell any Carrier common stock within this calendar year.
The information furnished under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
