This is an administrative plan transition, not a business update. Roper’s retirement-plan recordkeeping will move from Vanguard to Fidelity effective October 2, 2026, temporarily restricting participant transactions and related insider trading in company securities (Exhibit 99.1; “Reason for BTR Blackout Period”).
The restriction is scheduled, narrow, and operational. The blackout is expected to run from 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 25, 2026, through the week of October 18, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1; “Length of the BTR Blackout Period”). It does not change Roper’s operations, financial outlook, capital allocation, or governance.
Versus market expectations, there is no actionable surprise. This filing simply provides the legally required notice of a temporary retirement-account systems conversion; no clean earnings or strategic benchmark is involved, and the filing contains no new information about the company’s fundamentals.
