Crane Company Benefit Equalization Plan

On February 25, 2008, Crane Holdings, Co. (formerly known as Crane Co.) (“Crane Holdings”), a Delaware corporation, established a nonqualified deferred compensation plan referred to as the Crane Co. Pension Benefit Equalization Plan (the “Original Plan”) for the benefit of designated employees of Crane Holdings. In 2013 the Board of Directors of Crane Holdings approved the amendment and restatement of the Original Plan, with the Original Plan being renamed the Crane Co. Benefit Equalization Plan (the “2013 Plan” and together with the Original Plan, the “Prior Plans”), effective January 1, 2013 (the “2013 Restated Effective Date”).

In 2023, Crane Holdings intends to enter into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with its wholly owned subsidiary, Crane Company (the “Company”), whereby the Company will separate from Crane Holdings in a spin-off transaction (the “Spin-Off”) expected to close on or about April 3, 2023 (the “Distribution Date”), after which the Company will operate as a stand-alone, publicly traded company. In connection therewith, the Board of Directors of Crane Holdings approved the amendment and restatement of the 2013 Plan as set forth herein, with the 2013 Plan being renamed the Crane Company Benefit Equalization Plan, effective as of the closing of the Spin-Off on the Distribution Date (the “2023 Restatement Effective Date”). This amended and restated version of the Plan completely replaces the 2013 Plan.

In connection with the Spin-Off, Crane Holdings shall become known as Crane NXT, Co. (“Crane NXT”) and certain assets and liabilities attributable to the benefits accrued for the Crane NXT Participants under the Prior Plans will be spun off to form a new plan called the “Crane NXT Benefit Equalization Plan” sponsored by Crane NXT (the “Crane NXT Plan”). Effective as of the Distribution Date, Crane NXT shall cease to be a participating employer and the Crane NXT Participants will cease to be Participants in the Plan and become participants under the Crane NXT Plan, and the terms of the Crane NXT Plan shall govern the benefits accrued by the Crane NXT Participants under the Prior Plans prior to the Distribution Date.

It is intended that the Plan be exempt from the reporting, disclosure, participation, vesting, funding and fiduciary responsibility requirements of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 because it is an unfunded plan maintained by an employer for the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

1.3Certain Accelerated Payments. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 3.4 and 4.5 shall not be applicable to a payment that becomes due under the following circumstances:

(a)QDROs. The time or schedule of a payment of any Retirement Benefit to an individual other than the Participant may be accelerated as may be necessary to fulfill the requirements of a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)).

(b)Payments Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A. The time or schedule of a payment of any Retirement Benefit to a Participant may be accelerated if at any time the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that any such payment shall not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance.

The Plan is an unfunded arrangement. No portion of any funds of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be required to be set apart for a Participant or Beneficiary. The rights of a Participant or Beneficiary to the payment of a Retirement Benefit shall be limited to those of a general, unsecured creditor of the Company who has a claim equal to the value of the Participant’s Retirement Benefit. Retirement Benefits shall be payable from the general assets of the Company, and/or from any grantor trust or other funding vehicle that the Company, in its discretion, may establish consistent with the tax deferral objective of this Plan; provided, however, that no Participant or Beneficiary shall at any time have any right to all or any portion of the assets of or associated with any such trust or other funding vehicle.

1.1Amendment

The Committee shall have the right to amend the Plan for any reason, at any time and from time to time. No amendment of the Plan shall cause, without the Participant’s written consent, a reduction in the vested Retirement Benefit to which the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary would have been entitled as of the effective date of such amendment under the terms of this Plan absent such amendment. Furthermore, no amendment may result in an acceleration of benefit payment (except as may be permitted by Section 409A of the Code).

1.2Termination
