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

On April 25, 2025, Simon M. Bates informed DMC Global Inc. (“DMC”) of his decision to resign from the Board of Directors of DMC (the “Board”) effective April 30, 2025 and not to stand for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is scheduled to be held on May 14, 2025 (the “Annual Meeting”). Mr. Bates resigned from his position in connection with his acceptance of a position at a company that directly competes with one of DMC’s businesses. Mr. Bates’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with DMC on any matter relating to DMC’s operations, policies or practices.

Effective as of April 30, 2025: (i) the size of the Board was reduced from six directors to five directors; and (ii) the Board reconstituted the standing committees of the Board as follows:

Audit Committee

Ruth I. Dreessen (Chair)

Clifton Peter Rose

The Board has nominated director Clifton Peter Rose as a substitute nominee for election as a director at the Annual Meeting in place of Mr. Bates. Mr. Rose has served as a director of the Board since 2016. In light of Mr. Bates’s resignation, Mr. Rose has agreed to continue serving as a director for another year, if elected, thus providing valuable continuity and preserving his institutional knowledge as DMC conducts a search for new directors. Additional information relating to Mr. Rose and his proposed election as a director at the Annual Meeting will be provided in a supplement to DMC’s Proxy Statement that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
