Plan, the employer, and certain others. Notes receivable from participants held by the Plan and certain administrative services provided by paid service providers are also considered party-in-interest transactions.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Plan held 273,779 and 329,108 shares, respectively, of common stock of Franklin Electric Co., Inc., the sponsoring employer. Dividends of common stock of Franklin Electric Co., Inc., for Plan year 2025 were approximately $328,000.</span></div> 273779 329108 328000 PLAN TERMINATIONThe Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan. If the Plan was terminated, the termination would be subject to provisions set forth by ERISA, and the net assets of the Plan would be allocated among the participants and the beneficiaries of the Plan in the order provided for by ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become fully vested in their employer service contributions and earnings thereon. TAX STATUS<div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter, dated July 24, 2017, that the Plan and related trust were designed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The Company and the Plan Administrator believe that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.</span></div> TRANSFER OF EXCESS PENSION ASSETS AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT<div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">During 2025, the Company terminated the Franklin Electric Co, Inc. Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan"), a defined benefit pension plan. As the Pension Plan was over-funded at termination, the excess Pension Plan assets of $9.7 million were transferred into the Plan as part of a qualified replacement plan transfer.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The transferred assets are maintained in a suspense account within the Plan and are being used to fund future employer service-based contributions to eligible participant accounts.
