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

On March 9, 2026, the Board of Directors (the
“Board”) of Crane NXT, Co. (the “Company”) appointed Jeffrey Benck to serve as a director of the Board, effective
immediately, for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The Company has nominated
Mr. Benck for election to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

Mr. Benck’s compensation will be
consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed director compensation program for non-employee directors, which is
described in the Company’s most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2025,
under the heading “Director Compensation Program” (as such program has been updated from time to time). Mr. Benck’s compensation will be prorated to reflect the
commencement date of his Board service. In addition, the Company and Mr. Benck will enter into an indemnification agreement
substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10(iii)(g) to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31,
2025.

There were no arrangements or understandings pursuant
to which Mr. Benck was elected as director, and there are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Benck that would be
reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On March 6, 2026, James L.L. Tullis, a current
director of the Board, notified the Board that he will not stand for reelection at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting. Accordingly,
Mr. Tullis will cease to serve as a director of the Company at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting scheduled for May 21, 2026.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing
the appointment of Mr. Benck to, and the departure of Mr. Tullis from, the Board is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
