ITEM 8.01
Other Events
As previously announced, effective January 1, 2013, Crane Co. (the "Company") made certain changes to its reporting structure.  The Company transferred the Controls segment (consisting of the Barksdale and Crane Environmental businesses) to its Fluid Handling segment.  As a result, beginning with the first quarter of 2013, the reporting structure consists of the following four reportable segments: Aerospace & Electronics, Engineered Materials, Merchandising Systems and Fluid Handling.

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K) to recast historical reportable segment information contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "2012 Form 10-K") to correspond with the Company's current reporting structure.  The changes in the reportable segment structure discussed above affect only the manner in which the results of the Company's reportable segments were previously reported.  This Form 8-K does not reclassify nor restate the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period, and all other information in the 2012 Form 10-K remains unchanged.  Nor does it reflect any subsequent information or events, other than as required to reflect the change in segments as described above.  The Form 8-K, including the Exhibit 99.1, should be read in conjunction with the 2012 Form 10-K and the Company's subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
