Executive Summary
* Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Appendix - Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly GAAP measures. Compensation Philosophy Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, and retain the talented leaders who drive our success and deliver performance aligned with our strategic plan. We reward innovation, profitable growth, strong working capital management, and collaboration—working together as one team—while balancing Company and individual performance. Alignment with our stockholders is a top priority, and a significant portion of our NEOs’ compensation is directly tied to Company performance and stockholder value creation. We aim to achieve these objectives through a program that: •Provides competitive target total direct compensation opportunities benchmarked against our peer group, with flexibility to adjust for role scope, individual experience, qualifications, performance, business needs, and unique market considerations. •Emphasizes performance-based compensation: approximately 87% of the CEO’s fiscal 2025 annual target pay and 69% (on average) for our NEOs is at risk, which increased to 88% and 75%, respectively, in the fiscal 2026 compensation program approved by the Ralliant Compensation Committee. •Prioritizes long-term alignment with stockholders by providing a significant portion of annual target total direct compensation in stock-based awards with multi-year vesting and/or performance requirements. •Promotes strong performance without undue risk, supported by strong governance practices including our stock ownership guidelines and a robust clawback policy.

New Hire Awards
| Name | Signing Bonus | Equity Inducement Award | | Neill Reynolds | $500,000 | $2,250,000 | | Amir Kazmi | $500,000 | $700,000 | | Jonathon Boatman | $500,000 | $600,000 |
New Hire Awards
The signing bonus for Mr. Reynolds was fully paid following his employment start date. The signing bonus for Mr. Kazmi is payable in two installments with the first half payable as of the Separation and the second half payable upon the first anniversary of his employment with Ralliant. The signing bonus for Mr. Boatman is payable in two installments with the first half payable as of the Separation and the second half payable on December 31, 2026. Mr. Reynolds’s equity inducement award consisted of 50% time-vesting RSUs and 50% stock options with vesting in equal annual installments over four years. Messrs. Kazmi’s and Boatman’s equity inducement awards consisted entirely of RSUs vesting in equal annual installments over four years. To protect stockholder interests and prevent windfalls to executives should their employment be terminated under certain scenarios, the bonuses incorporated repayment terms. Specifically, if a recipient of a signing bonus terminates his or her employment, or is terminated for “cause” (as defined in the applicable Offer Letter), within 12 months of their employment start date, the recipient is required to repay the entire signing bonus to Ralliant. If a recipient of a signing bonus terminates his or her employment, or is terminated for cause, between the first and second anniversaries of his or her employment start date, the recipient must repay 50% of the signing bonus to Ralliant.
Market Adjustment and Transition Awards
Market Adjustment and Transition Awards As part of Ms. Newcombe’s Offer Letter, Fortive approved 2025 annual equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $5,500,000. The awards consisted of her March 2025 annual Fortive equity award with a grant date fair value of $4,500,000, and a supplemental equity award with a grant date fair value equal to $1,000,000 (the “Market Adjustment Award”) to reflect her new role as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ralliant. In addition, a one-time equity award with a grant date fair value equal to $2,000,000 (the “Transition Award”) was provided in recognition of equity opportunity foregone from the truncation of certain outstanding performance stock units (“PSUs”) due to the Separation. The Ralliant Compensation Committee granted the Market Adjustment Award and the Transition Award, each of which consists of 50% RSUs and 50% stock options vesting in equal installments on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant.
Founders Awards
Ms. Newcombe’s and Mr. Reynolds’s Founders Awards consisted of 50% RSUs and 50% stock options. Messrs. Kazmi and Boatman and Ms. Bick received Founders Awards consisting of 100% RSUs. 50% of the Founders Awards will vest on the first anniversary of the grant and 25% of the Founders Awards will vest on each of the second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The primary objectives of these awards were to enhance the near-term performance and retention incentives for a new leadership team standing up a new, publicly traded company well-positioned for long-term success. Absent special circumstances, the Ralliant Compensation Committee does not expect to use special, one-time equity awards in the near term to supplement the annual executive compensation program.

2025 NEO Compensation
Executive Incentive Compensation Plan Ralliant adopted the 2025 EICP to align executive compensation with the Company’s business strategy, reward performance against key financial measures, and incentivize strong individual performance. Under the 2025 EICP, Ralliant provides annual cash incentives to participants based on the achievement of financial performance measures relating to our business and the participant’s personal performance. While this CD&A focuses on NEO compensation, the incentive design also applies to other employees, including certain senior managers, to promote consistent alignment across the organization. Following the Separation, the Ralliant Compensation Committee established financial performance metrics and goals with target, minimum, and maximum thresholds and set weightings for each metric. The aggregate of the achieved results is referred to as the “Company Financial Factor” or “CFF.” Since Ralliant did not become an independent public company until June 2025, the CFF is based on the combined 2025 performance of our six operating companies: Tektronix, PacSci EMC, Qualitrol, Hengstler-Dynapar, Gems Setra, and Anderson-Negele.

| Year-End Base SalaryX | Individual Target Bonus PercentageX | Company Financial Factor (CFF)X | Personal Performance Factor (PPF) |
Determination of the 2025 EICP Payout
In 2025, the target incentive for each NEO was equal to their annual base salary as of December 31, 2025, multiplied by the relevant target award percentage(s) applicable during the year and prorated for the participant’s time with Ralliant. The 2025 actual incentive was equal to the target incentive percentage multiplied by the CFF as well as a personal performance factor (the “Personal Performance Factor” or “PPF”), described in more detail below. Beginning in the fiscal 2026 performance year, PPF will no longer be a factor in determining payouts for EICP participants.

Calculation of 2025 EICP Payouts The following table presents the amounts earned under the 2025 EICP by each NEO for fiscal 2025.

Calculation of 2025 EICP Payouts
(1)The amounts shown for Messrs. Reynolds, Kazmi, and Boatman have been prorated 58.36%, 74.79%, and 85.21%, respectively, to reflect the portion of the year worked for the Company. Long-Term Incentive Awards During fiscal 2025, the target values for our NEOs’ long-term incentive awards were determined by Fortive. The LTI awards were granted prior to the Separation by Fortive or on August 15, 2025 by Ralliant based on the terms of the Offer Letters. Impact of the Separation on Outstanding Equity Awards Fortive equity awards that were outstanding at the time of the Separation were adjusted with the intent to maintain the economic value of those awards before and after the distribution date. The terms of the equity awards, such as the vesting date, continued unchanged. For Ralliant employees at the time of distribution, the awards were converted into Ralliant equity awards and denominated in shares of Ralliant common stock. Fortive stock options were converted into options of comparable value to purchase our common stock, and Fortive RSUs were converted into RSUs of comparable value relating to our common stock. Benefits and Other Pay Elements Our NEOs are eligible to participate in broad-based employee benefit plans, which are generally available to all U.S. salaried employees such as health care, dental, vision, welfare, disability, life insurance, and the Ralliant Retirement Savings Plan (401(k)). In addition, each of our NEOs participates in the Executive Deferred Incentive Plan (the “EDIP”). The EDIP is a non- qualified, unfunded deferred compensation program available to selected members of our management. We use the EDIP to tax-efficiently contribute amounts to executives’ retirement accounts and give our executives an opportunity to defer taxes on cash compensation and realize tax-deferred, market-based notional investment growth on their deferrals. We set the amount we contribute annually to the executives’ accounts in the EDIP at a level that we believe is competitive with comparable plans offered by the companies in our peer group. Participants in the EDIP do not fully vest in such amounts until they have participated in the program for 15 years or have reached age 55 with at least five years of service. We show the amounts we contributed to the EDIP for 2025 with respect to our NEOs in the Summary Compensation Table. We offer limited perquisites to our NEOs. We believe these limited perquisites help make our executive compensation plans competitive, are generally aligned with market practices, and are cost-effective in that the perceived value of these items is higher than the actual cost. The perquisites we made available to our NEOs during 2025 include an annual cash stipend of $10,000 per year to be applied towards financial services and counseling and eligibility for an annual executive physical. Additional details on the perquisites we made available to our NEOs in 2025 are described in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table.

Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements
Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements Ralliant has a Severance and Change in Control Plan for Officers (the “Severance Plan”), which provides separation payments and benefits to the NEOs in the event of a qualifying termination of their employment. Among other things, this plan is intended to support talent recruitment and retention objectives and to provide a consistent approach to executive departures. Additional information concerning the payments and benefits provided pursuant to the Severance Plan and the circumstances under which separation payments and benefits will be provided can be found in the “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” section of this Proxy Statement. Ralliant does not provide excise tax gross-ups on payments provided in connection with a change-in-control event.
2026 Pay Mix and Incentive Plan Design
2026 Pay Mix and Incentive Plan Design As we enter 2026, which will be our first full year as a publicly traded company, the Ralliant Compensation Committee has approved new incentive programs that reinforce our strategic priorities and align performance with the interests of our stockholders. In selecting performance metrics for our short- and long‑term incentive programs, the Ralliant Compensation Committee considered external market practices and stockholder perspectives, while prioritizing measures that reflect how we manage the business. The EICP metrics are intended to promote the near‑term behaviors critical to executing our strategy, while the multi‑year performance metrics for our PSUs are designed to align our leaders with sustained stockholder value creation.

2026 Long-Term Incentive Design
2026 Long-Term Incentive Design Annual long-term incentive awards granted to NEOs in 2026 consist of 60% PSUs and 40% RSUs. RSUs will vest in equal tranches on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. PSUs will vest following the end of the three-year performance period on December 31, 2028, subject to continued service through the date on which the Ralliant Compensation Committee certifies performance of the PSUs based on the following performance measures:
2026 Long-Term Incentive Design
| PSU Performance Metric | Metric Weight | How It Aligns with Ralliant’s Strategic Priorities | | Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) | 50% | Focus on sustainable, long-term financial performance and aligns management goals with stockholder value creation | | Relative Total Shareholder Return versus the S&P 400 MidCap Index (“rTSR”) | 50% | Aligns executive pay directly with stockholder experience, providing an objective, market-based measure of performance relative to peer firms |
2026 Long-Term Incentive Design
The payout range of the PSUs is 0% to 200% depending on the achievement of Adjusted EPS and rTSR. The rTSR component requires Ralliant TSR equal to the 55th percentile of peer firms to achieve the target payout. In addition, payout is capped at 100% if Ralliant’s TSR is negative, regardless of percentile rank. The PSUs also have a maximum value cap of five times the target value. Dividend equivalents will accrue and be reinvested in additional PSUs and RSUs subject to the same performance and vesting conditions. Dividend equivalents are not paid to holders of RSUs or PSUs until the applicable awards vest.
Compensation-Setting Process
Compensation-Setting Process Role of the Ralliant Compensation Committee The Ralliant Compensation Committee oversees the compensation of Ralliant’s executive officers. The Committee works closely with the full Board, management, and its independent consultant to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s compensation program and alignment with the Company strategy throughout the year. Specifically, the Committee: •Sets Ralliant’s executive compensation philosophy; •Reviews and approves the amount of compensation, goals, and objectives for the CEO, and in consultation with the CEO, for the other executive officers; •Sets the composition of the compensation peer groups; •Approves long-term incentive grants to executive officers; •Oversees risk management of Ralliant’s compensation programs, policies, and practices; and •Assists the Board in its oversight of Ralliant’s human capital management practices. The Ralliant Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees as it determines appropriate. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the provisions of a given equity-based plan, the Committee may delegate to one or more executive officers or a subcommittee the power to grant equity awards to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant In connection with the Separation, the Ralliant Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer to serve as its independent compensation consultant. Pearl Meyer provides services related to Ralliant’s executive compensation program, including reviewing and advising on: •Our compensation peer groups; •Compensation setting for the executive officers, including market benchmarking of pay levels; •Market competitive practices among peers and their relevance for Ralliant as they relate to incentive design and incentive goals; •Form and amount of executive benefits and perquisites; •Governance-related items including stock ownership guidelines, the compensation clawback policy, and treatment of equity upon termination; and •Compensation setting for the Board, including market benchmarking of pay levels.
Compensation-Setting Process
Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Ralliant Compensation Committee. As part of the engagement process, the Ralliant Compensation Committee reviewed the independence of Pearl Meyer under NYSE and SEC rules and concluded that Pearl Meyer is independent. In reaching this conclusion, the Ralliant Compensation Committee considered factors relevant to the consultant’s independence, including the factors set forth in the NYSE listing standards. Role of Management Management assists the Ralliant Compensation Committee in discharging its duties by providing information on corporate and individual performance as well as management’s perspective on certain compensation and human capital management matters. The Ralliant Compensation Committee solicits and reviews the CEO’s recommendations with respect to the compensation of executive officers (other than the CEO). Additionally, the Ralliant Compensation Committee considers relevant market data, roles and responsibilities, and individual performance. Our CEO recuses herself from all discussions and recommendations regarding her own compensation and is not present when her compensation is determined by the independent Ralliant Compensation Committee. Peer Group Benchmarking The Ralliant Compensation Committee has developed a compensation peer group to better understand and evaluate the appropriateness and competitiveness of Ralliant’s executive compensation. The analysis, construction, and design of the peer group was informed by the peer group data and input from Pearl Meyer. In order to compile an appropriate peer group, the Ralliant Compensation Committee reviewed a set of companies that included some or all of the following characteristics: •Publicly traded companies headquartered, and listed on a stock exchange, in the U.S.; •Companies with revenue between approximately 1/3 to 3x of Ralliant’s revenue with consideration also given to operating income, market capitalization, and enterprise value; and •Companies representative of Ralliant’s segments, including Test & Measurement and Sensors & Safety Systems, as well as our end markets, such as diversified electronics, industrial manufacturing, communications, defense and space, utilities, and semiconductors. Based on these criteria, the 2025 peer group included the following companies:
Other Compensation Matters
Once an executive has acquired a number of shares that satisfies the ownership multiple, such number of shares then becomes his or her minimum ownership requirement (even if the executive’s salary increases or the fair market value of such shares subsequently changes) until he or she is promoted to a higher level. Under the stock ownership policy, beneficial ownership includes shares in which the executive or his or her spouse or child has a direct or indirect interest, notional shares of our common stock in the EDIP, shares held in a 401(k) plan, and unvested RSUs but does not include shares subject to unexercised stock options or any PSUs. Compensation Clawback Policy and Plan Terms The Board has adopted the Ralliant Corporation Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”) that applies to Ralliant’s Section 16 officers. Under the Clawback Policy, in the event of a material restatement of Ralliant’s consolidated financial statements (other than any restatement required according to a change in applicable accounting rules), Ralliant will seek reimbursement of the portion of any incentive-based compensation granted, earned, or vested based on the attainment of a financial reporting measure that would not have been paid had the consolidated financial statements been correctly stated. In addition to recoupment of incentive-based compensation mandated by the SEC and the NYSE, the Clawback Policy provides the Ralliant Board with the discretion to also recoup additional incentive-based compensation, whether cash- or equity-based, from any covered executive if the Ralliant Board determines that the triggering material restatement was at least in part the result of gross misconduct by such covered executive. Under the terms of the Ralliant Corporation 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), all outstanding unvested equity awards will be terminated immediately upon, and no grantee may exercise any outstanding equity award after, such time as he or she is terminated for gross misconduct. In addition, under the terms of the Ralliant EDIP if the plan administrator determines that termination of an employee’s participation in the EDIP resulted from the employee’s gross misconduct, the plan administrator may determine that the employee’s vesting percentage is zero with respect to all account balances that were contributed by us. Equity Award Grant Practices The Ralliant Compensation Committee has established a practice of granting annual equity awards, including to the NEOs, each year on March 1. Interim equity grants, such as grants made to newly hired executives, are typically made on the 15th day of a calendar month immediately following an earnings release. The Ralliant Compensation Committee does not consider material non-public information when determining the timing or terms of equity awards, and Ralliant does not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of any executive compensation. The Ralliant Compensation Committee did not grant stock options to any NEO in 2025 during the period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of a Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, or Form 8-K that disclosed material non-public information.

Summary Compensation Table
(1)The amounts reflected in these columns represent the aggregate grant date fair value of all equity awards that we granted to our NEOs, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For all NEOs, the amount in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns for 2025 equals the aggregate grant date fair value of all RSUs and stock options, respectively, that were granted to our NEOs during 2025. With respect to RSUs, we calculated the grant date fair value under FASB ASC Topic 718 based on the base number of shares of common stock underlying the RSU multiplied by the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. With respect to stock options, we have calculated the grant date fair value under FASB ASC Topic 718 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions made in calculating the fair value of the RSUs and stock options granted on March 3, 2025 and the RSUs granted on May 15, 2025 are set forth in Note 13: Stock-Based Compensation to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Fortive’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025. Additional information about the assumptions used when valuing the August 15, 2025 RSUs and stock options is set forth in Note 15: Stock-Based Compensation to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025. Fortive awards that were outstanding at the time of the Separation were converted into Ralliant awards in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement in a manner that preserved the award’s value. This conversion of the awards was considered a modification for accounting purposes and resulted in additional compensation expense for Ralliant but did not result in additional value for any of the relevant executives. The additional compensation expense recognized for each of the NEO converted awards was $4,234,095 for Ms. Newcombe, $77,003 for Mr. Kazmi, $66,004 for Mr. Boatman, and $538,395 for Ms. Bick. Mr. Reynolds did not have any awards converted or any additional compensation expense. For additional details, see Note 15: Stock-Based Compensation to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025. (2)The amounts set forth in this column for fiscal 2025 reflect compensation earned during the corresponding fiscal year under Ralliant’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. (3)Ralliant does not have a defined benefit pension plan for executive officers and does not pay above market earnings on account balances under the EDIP or pursuant to any other deferred compensation arrangement.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards
(1)These columns relate to 2025 cash award opportunities under our Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, which we describe in more detail above under “Executive Incentive Compensation Plan.” The amount that each NEO earned under these awards based on actual performance for fiscal year 2025 appears in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. (2)All awards after the Separation were granted under the Stock Plan. We discuss the key terms of these awards in more detail above under “Offer Letters and Awards Related to the Separation”. For any awards granted prior to the Separation, the shares were converted from their original Fortive plan to the Stock Plan at the time of the Separation. (3)Fortive awards that were outstanding at the time of the Separation were converted into Ralliant awards in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement in a manner that preserved the award’s value. This conversion of the awards was considered a modification for accounting purposes and resulted in additional compensation expense for Ralliant but did not result in additional value for any of the relevant executives. The additional compensation expense recognized for each of the NEO converted awards was $4,234,095 for Ms. Newcombe, $77,003 for Mr. Kazmi, $66,004 for Mr. Boatman and $538,395 for Ms. Bick. Mr. Reynolds did not have any awards converted or any additional compensation expense. For additional details, see Note 15: Stock-Based Compensation to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control Consistent with market practice, and to help ensure that Ralliant’s executive officers remain focused on our businesses during periods of uncertainty and are motivated to pursue transactions in the best interests of stockholders, Ralliant maintains a Severance and Change in Control Plan for Officers, which we refer to as the “Severance Plan.” It provides for severance benefits upon (i) a termination without Cause not preceded by a change-in-control and (ii) a termination without Cause, or Good Reason resignation (each, as defined in the Severance Plan), in each case, within 24 months following a qualified change-in-control. “Double Trigger” Change-in-Control Severance. The definition of “change-in-control” is limited to include only: •a merger, consolidation, or reorganization in which Ralliant is not the surviving entity and in which the voting securities of Ralliant prior to such transaction would represent 50% or less of the voting securities of the surviving entity; •sale of all, or substantially all, assets of Ralliant, or •any transaction approved by the Board that results in any person or entity that is not an affiliate of Ralliant owning 100% of Ralliant’s outstanding voting securities. If, within 24 months following a qualifying change-in-control, a NEO is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, then the following severance payment would be due:
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
| Compensation | CEO | OTHER NEOs | | Cash Severance Payment | 2x base salary and target annual incentive award | 1x base salary and target annual incentive award | | Cash Annual Incentive Award | Target annual incentive award prorated from the beginning of the year to the date of termination | Same | | Equity Awards | Immediate acceleration of all unvested outstanding equity awards, with any performance conditions measured based on target performance | Same | | Health Benefits | 24 months | 12 months | | 280G Excise Tax | No tax gross up | Same |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Termination without Cause Severance. Ralliant provides the following severance benefits under the Severance Plan upon a termination without Cause other than within 24 months following a qualifying change-in-control:

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
The following table describes the payments and benefits that each NEO would be entitled to receive upon a termination of employment or in connection with a change-in-control of Ralliant. The amounts set forth below assume that the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2025. Where benefits are based on the market value of our common stock, we have used the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NYSE on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of the year ($50.91 per share). In addition to the amounts set forth below, upon any termination of employment, each executive would also be entitled to (1) receive all payments generally provided to salaried employees on a non-discriminatory basis upon termination, such as accrued salary, life insurance proceeds (for any termination of employment due to death), unused vacation, and 401(k) plan distributions, (2) receive accrued, vested balances under the EDIP (except that under the EDIP, if an employee’s employment terminates as a result of gross misconduct, the EDIP administrator may determine that the employee’s vesting percentage with respect to all employer contributions is zero), and (3) exercise vested stock options (except that, under the terms of our Stock Plan, all outstanding equity awards are terminated upon, and no employee can exercise any outstanding equity award after, termination for gross misconduct). Retirement is defined generally as either a voluntary resignation after age 65 or an approved early retirement.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
(1)A description of the severance benefits and cash payments our NEOs would be entitled to receive if we terminate the executive’s employment without Cause, or upon termination following a change-in-control precedes this table. The amounts set forth in the table assume that the executive would have executed our standard release in connection with any termination without Cause or termination following a change-in-control. (2)The terms of the Stock Plan provide for (a) continued pro-rata vesting of certain of the participant’s RSUs, PSUs, and stock options upon retirement under certain circumstances, and (b) accelerated vesting of a participant’s stock options and certain of a participant’s RSUs and PSUs if the participant dies during employment. (3)Pursuant to the Severance Plan, in the event we terminate an NEO without Cause not in connection with a change-in-control, a prorated portion of the NEO’s outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding and continue to vest pursuant to the original vesting schedule, subject to the satisfaction of any performance measures that had not been met prior to the date of the termination. The remaining portion of such unvested awards would be forfeited. If we terminate an NEO without Cause or an NEO resigns with Good Reason, in either case within two years following a qualified change-in-control, all unvested equity awards shall become immediately vested (assuming, if applicable, that any performance goals were met at the target level, irrespective of any actual performance). (4)Pursuant to the Severance Plan, in the event we terminate an NEO without Cause not in connection with a change-in-control, a prorated portion of the NEO’s annual incentive award will remain outstanding and be payable at the end of the performance period subject to the satisfaction of any performance measures that had not been met prior to the date of the termination. If we terminate an NEO without Cause or an NEO resigns with Good Reason, in either case within two years following a qualified change-in-control, a prorated portion of the NEO’s target annual incentive award will immediately vest and be paid. None of the annual incentive awards are prorated for purposes of the table since we assume that the NEO terminated employment on December 31, 2025, which is the end of the performance period for our annual incentive awards, with assumed performance, in the case of a termination without Cause, based on actual performance and, in the case of a termination following a change-in-control, based on target performance. (5)Under the terms of the EDIP, any unvested portion of the employer contributions that have been credited to the participant’s EDIP account would immediately vest upon the participant’s death. In 2025, Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Kazmi, and Mr. Boatman all had an unvested EDIP balance.

In general, the adjustments for equity awards provided in Item 402(v) are as follows: •Subtract the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year, •Add the fair value at fiscal year-end of option and stock awards granted in the covered fiscal year which were outstanding and unvested at the end of the covered fiscal year, •Add the change in fair value (which may be a negative number) as of the end of the covered fiscal year as compared to the value at the end of the prior fiscal year for option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and were outstanding and unvested at the end of the covered fiscal year, •Add the vesting date value of option and stock awards which were granted and vested during the same covered fiscal year, •Add the change in value (which may be a negative number) as of the vesting date as compared to the value at the end of the prior fiscal year for option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and vested in the covered fiscal year, •Subtract as to any option and stock awards which were granted in prior fiscal years and failed to meet applicable vesting conditions during the covered fiscal year, the value of such awards as of the end of the prior fiscal year, •Plus the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid during the covered fiscal year on outstanding and unvested awards. •Plus, as to any option or stock award that was materially modified during the covered fiscal year, the amount by which the value of the award as of the date of the modification exceeds the value of the original award on the modification date. In making each of these adjustments, the “value” of an option or stock award is the fair value of the award on the applicable date determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair value of our equity awards. For more information on the valuation of the equity awards, please see the notes to the financial statements that appear in Ralliant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K each fiscal year and the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table that appears in our annual proxy statement.

(3)Assumes $100 invested on market close on June 30, 2025, the Separation date, through the end of the fiscal year for which Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) is being calculated. TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. (4)Represents the peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the S&P 600 Industrials Index. (5)Amount reflects Ralliant Corporation’s net income as calculated pursuant to GAAP and reported in our audited financial statements. (6)Amount reflects Ralliant Corporation’s adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, as our Company-selected measure. See “Appendix - Non- GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of equity awards in this section do not materially differ from those used to calculate the grant date fair value of such awards for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, except that the fair value calculations of unvested options in 2025 rely upon an estimated term of 1.4 to 7.4 years, as compared to the six-year estimated term relied upon to calculate the grant date fair value of such stock options. Most Important Company Performance Measures for Determining Executive Compensation. In accordance with Item 402(v), the list below provides, in no particular order, the financial performance measures that Ralliant believes are most important for purposes of linking compensation actually paid to the NEOs during fiscal 2025 to Ralliant’s performance: •Adjusted EPS •Adjusted Operating Profit •Organic Revenue Growth •Working Capital Turnover Pay versus Performance Table Discussion and Analysis. In accordance with Item 402(v) requirements, Ralliant is providing the following charts to describe the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table. The following charts show the relationship between the compensation actually paid (also referred to as “CAP”) to the PEO and the other NEOs and (i) TSR of both Ralliant and the S&P 600 Industrials Index; (ii) Ralliant’s net income; and (iii) Ralliant’s adjusted EPS.
