COLUMBUS MCKINNON CORP 8-K

What Happened
Columbus McKinnon Corporation (CMCO) filed an 8‑K (Jan 29, 2026) providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information that reflects its pending acquisition of Kito Crosby Limited (Stock Purchase Agreement dated Feb 10, 2025) and the pending divestiture of its U.S. power chain hoist and chain manufacturing operations (Damascus, VA and Lexington, TN) and certain other assets. The filing also updates prior disclosures to reflect the aggregate principal amount of a previously announced private offering of $900.0 million of 7.125% senior secured notes due 2033 and the proposed senior secured term loan B facility the company expects to enter into in connection with the Acquisition. The pro forma information covers the six months ended Sept 30, 2025 and the fiscal year ended Mar 31, 2025 and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8‑K.
