Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 28, 2026, Strattec Security Corporation (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program to purchase up to $40.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. This share repurchase program replaces the Company’s previous share repurchase program, which had been initiated in 1996 and was terminated in connection with the authorization of the new program.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, and general business and market conditions. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any of its common stock.

A copy of the press release announcing the share repurchase program is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by reference into such filing.
