EXPLANATORY NOTE

DMC Global Inc. (the “Company”) has prepared this Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) in accordance with the requirements of Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register an aggregate of 2,414,278 shares of its common stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable pursuant to the DMC Global Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), consisting of (i) 560,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 522,367 shares of Common Stock (the “Unissued Shares”), representing any shares remaining available for the grant of awards as of May 14, 2025, the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”), under the DMC Global Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Prior Plan”); and (iii) 1,331,911 shares of Common Stock (together with the Unissued Shares, the “Prior Plan Shares”), representing shares subject to an award granted under the Prior Plan, which award was or may become forfeited, cash-settled, cancelled, terminated, expired or lapsed for any reason after the Effective Date without the issuance of shares or pursuant to which such shares are forfeited. The Prior Plan Shares are securities of the same class and relate to the same employee benefit plan, the Prior Plan, as those shares registered on the Company’s registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Prior Registration Statement”) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 7, 2016 (Registration No. 333-214460), which is hereby incorporated by reference. The Prior Plan Shares were previously registered under the Prior Registration Statement and do not represent an increase in the total number of shares of the Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Prior Plan. The Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 14, 2025 and became effective on May 14, 2025.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) provides for indemnification of our directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act. Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent, or former director, officer, employee or agent, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided that such director, officer, employee or agent had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Subsection (b) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent, or former director, officer, employee or agent, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

Section 145 further provides that to the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith; that indemnification provided by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the party seeking indemnification may be entitled; that the corporation is empowered to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section 145; and that, unless indemnification is ordered by a court, the determination that indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 is proper because the director, officer, employee or agent has met the applicable standard of conduct under such subsections shall be made by (i) a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding (or a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors), even though less than a quorum, (ii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii) by the stockholders. We maintain liability insurance protecting us, as well as our directors and officers, against liability by reason of their being or having been directors or officers, subject to such limitations as may be provided therein.

As permitted by the DGCL, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to the Company and its stockholders. These provisions do not eliminate the directors’ duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

As permitted by the DGCL, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation generally requires us to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.

Article XI of our bylaws generally provides that we shall indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers under which we have indemnified each of them against expenses and losses incurred for claims brought against them by reason of their being one of our directors or officers, and we maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Not applicable.
