Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As of March 13, 2025, Eric Walter, Chief Financial Officer of DMC Global Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a participation agreement with respect to the DMC Global Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”) previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Plan benefits under the participation agreements replace the existing severance benefits in the offer letter of Mr. Walter. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

Under the Plan, in the event that a participant’s employment is terminated by the participant for Good Reason or by the Company other than for Cause, disability, or death, the participant is entitled to the following cash severance benefits, in addition to COBRA benefits and enhanced equity award acceleration (as described in the following sentence): (i) if the termination occurs without a Change in Control, the participant shall receive a Severance Multiple of Base Salary equal to one (1) times and payment of any Prior Bonus that was earned but not yet paid; or (ii) if the termination occurs in connection with a Change in Control, the participant’s Severance Multiple of Base Salary and Target Bonus shall be one (1) times plus a Pro Rata Bonus (pro rata for year of termination of employment) and payment of any Prior Bonus that was earned but not yet paid. Outstanding equity awards have been amended by the Plan to provide for, and future equity awards will provide for, (i) accelerated vesting and/or earning of awards in connection with a Change in Control unless the awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the continuing entity; provided, however, that in the event that the participant’s continuous service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the participant for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) months following the date of a Change in Control, any such assumed, converted or replacement awards shall become immediately vested; and (ii) accelerated vesting of awards in the event that the participant terminates employment for Good Reason (without regard to whether there is a Change in Control).

The foregoing description of the Plan is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
