Shareholders
2
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. is a widely held public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and its complete shareholder register is not publicly available. Beneficial ownership disclosure is limited to institutional investors that file Schedule 13G with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after crossing a 5% ownership threshold. According to the company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on 6 March 2026 (record date 25 February 2026), the largest disclosed holders were The Vanguard Group (6.3%), BlackRock, Inc. (6.3%) and State Street Corporation (5.5%), each held in an investment-management capacity rather than as a strategic owner.
Zavia’s registry data separately lists two shareholder entries dated 4 September 2026: Vanguard Group Inc. at 15.8% and an Invesco exchange-traded fund at 1.7%. These figures diverge materially from Vanguard’s most recent SEC Schedule 13G disclosure and could not be independently corroborated against a primary filing; they should be treated with caution pending reconciliation.
No ultimate beneficial owner can be identified for Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. Its stock is broadly distributed among public investors, and none of the disclosed institutional holders exercises control consistent with beneficial ownership in the compliance sense.
Disclosure for this company is best described as major shareholders only: holders that cross SEC reporting thresholds are publicly identified, but the complete shareholder base is not available.

This filing reflects an earlier snapshot of the board and is materially out of date: the company’s most recent definitive proxy statement, filed with the SEC on 6 March 2026, does not list Griswold, Luiso, Buckley or Loree among the eleven director nominees proposed for its 2026 annual meeting.
According to that proxy statement and the company’s official investor-relations announcements, Christopher J. Nelson has served as President and Chief Executive Officer since 1 October 2025, succeeding Donald Allan Jr., who moved to the role of Executive Chair on the same date. Debra A.

Officer and director information for a Connecticut-registered public company such as this is available both through the state’s annual report filings and SEC proxy statements; the state filing reflects only the officers on record at its last update and can lag well behind the company’s actual board composition, as is the case here. Nationality and residence details are not disclosed in either source and are reported as not disclosed.
