What Happened

Key Details
- Filing date: February 24, 2026; financial periods covered: quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
- Directors not standing for re‑election: James A. Sharman, Peter Spuhler, Paul Mascarenas.
- Board expected to shrink from 11 members to 8 members immediately after the 2026 Annual Meeting.

Why It Matters
- The 8‑K gives investors an early, unaudited view of Aebi Schmidt’s quarterly and full‑year 2025 financial performance; investors should review the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and await the audited results for confirmation.
- Board changes — including the chairman’s planned exit and a reduction in board size — are material for governance and could influence oversight and strategic direction. The filing confirms management continuity (signed by Group CEO Barend Fruithof and Group CFO Marco Portmann).
- Because the filing contains preliminary data and governance changes, shareholders and prospective investors may want to monitor upcoming disclosures (audited financial statements, AGM notices, and any board appointment announcements).
