The Gorman-Rupp Company furnished an update on its business by announcing third-quarter results via an Item 2.02 Form 8-K.

The Gorman-Rupp Company (NYSE:GRC) filed a Form S-8 to register 350,000 additional common shares for its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), raising the plan’s total registered shares to 600,000 since inception. Based on the 7-25-2025 closing price of $40.52, the newly registered shares represent a potential $14.2 million of market value. The company states it does not expect to issue treasury or newly issued shares; instead, the plan trustee will acquire shares on the open market, eliminating dilution risk to existing holders.

The filing classifies GRC as a large accelerated filer and incorporates by reference its 2024 Form 10-K and 2025 Forms 10-Q. Key ESPP terms include employee payroll deductions of $20–$500 per month, company matching contributions of 10-20 % scaled by tenure, and optional direct cash contributions up to $1,000 monthly (no company match). The plan has been in place since 1995 and may be amended or terminated by the board.

Standard indemnification provisions, Ernst & Young LLP consent, and powers of attorney are included. No financial performance data or new capital-raising transactions are disclosed; the filing is primarily administrative and does not alter GRC’s capital structure or guidance.
