#### Flowserve Completes Divestiture of Legacy Asbestos Liabilities
On December 11, 2025, Flowserve Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company"), completed its previously announced divestiture of all its legacy asbestos liabilities by selling BW/IP – New Mexico, Inc. ("BWIP"), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that holds these liabilities and related insurance assets (the "Divestiture"). The Divestiture was made to Ajax HoldCo LLC ("Buyer"), an affiliate of Acorn Investment Partners, a portfolio company of funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P.

At closing, BWIP was capitalized with the related assets and a total of approximately $219,000,000 in cash, of which the Company contributed $199,000,000 and Buyer contributed $20,000,000. In connection with the Divestiture, the board of directors of each seller under the purchase agreement dated October 28, 2025 received a solvency opinion from an independent advisory firm that formed the basis (along with other inputs) for its determination that BWIP was solvent and adequately capitalized as of the date of, and after giving effect to the consummation of, the Divestiture.

As a result of the Divestiture, the divested asbestos liabilities and related insurance assets will be removed from the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Buyer has assumed management of BWIP, including the management of its claims and insurance policy reimbursements.

On December 11, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Divestiture, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The information furnished in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
