Item 8.01 Other Items.

On July 15, 2024, Cadre Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the Company had experienced a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized third party gained access to certain technology systems of the Company. Following detection of the incident with its security tools, the Company immediately initiated its standard response protocols to contain, assess and remediate the incident, including beginning an investigation with outside experts, activating its incident response plan, notifying federal law enforcement, and taking certain systems offline in an abundance of caution. The Company’s investigation and response remains ongoing.

The Company is in the early stages of its investigation and assessment of this incident, and therefore the full scope, nature and impact of the incident has not yet been determined. Although certain of the Company’s operations have been affected, the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the incident has had or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s current beliefs, understanding and expectations regarding the cybersecurity incident and its anticipated impact on the Company’s business, operations and financial results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements include the ongoing assessment of the cybersecurity incident; legal, reputational and financial risks resulting from the cybersecurity incident or additional cybersecurity incidents; and the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Unless required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as result of new information, future events or otherwise.
