Restrictions on transactions by participants in the Plan will be imposed during the Blackout Period due to the transition of the administration of the Plan to a new service provider. During the Blackout Period, Plan participants and beneficiaries temporarily will be prevented from effecting certain Plan transactions including transactions in the Plan's Enerpac Stock Fund.

The Blackout Notice informed the Company’s directors and executive officers that during the Blackout Period they will be subject to certain trading restrictions with respect to the Company’s equity securities (including derivative securities such as stock options) acquired in connection with their services as an executive officer or a director of the Company. This notice was required pursuant to Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR, which prohibit trading in a company’s securities by directors and executive officers during certain blackout periods relating to its 401(k) plan.

The Blackout Period will begin on March 24, 2021 and is expected to end during the week of April 18, 2021. A copy of the Blackout Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. During the Blackout Period and for a period of two years thereafter, information regarding the Blackout Period, including confirmation of the actual beginning and ending dates, may be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Corporate Secretary of the Company, in writing, at Corporate Secretary at Enerpac Tool Group Corp., N86 W12500 Westbrook Crossing, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin 53051, Attention Corporate Secretary or by telephone at (262) 293-1500.
