Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously announced, effective the first quarter of 2026, Bel Fuse Inc. (“Bel” or the “Company”) began reporting results under the Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions and Industrial Technology & Data Solutions (“ITDS”) reportable segments as part of a strategic realignment of its business units. In furtherance of this realignment, on May 22, 2026, the Company determined to name Kenneth Lai as Senior Vice President ITDS, effective late second quarter or early third quarter of 2026. In this role, Mr. Lai’s responsibilities expand to include the Company’s India and private label operations, in addition to China and other Asia locations. As a result of this change in responsibilities, Mr. Lai is no longer determined to be an “executive officer” or “officer” of the Company as defined in Rules 3b-7 and 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, respectively.

The information regarding the 2026 Plan (as defined below) in Item 5.07 is incorporated herein by reference.
