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

The Board of Directors of EnPro Industries, Inc. (the "Company") has reappointed Donald G. Pomeroy II, age 40, as its Vice President and Controller effective as of September 1, 2007. In such capacity, Mr. Pomeroy will also serve as the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer. As a result of this reappointment, on September 1, 2007, William Dries, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will cease serving in the additional capacity as the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer. Mr. Dries will continue to serve as the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Prior to his reappointment as Vice President and Controller, Mr. Pomeroy served as the Vice President-Finance for Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, from August 2004, having previously served as the Company’s Vice President, Controller and Principal Accounting Officer from May 2002 through August 2004.

In connection with Mr. Pomeroy’s reappointment as an officer of the Company, the Company and Mr. Pomeroy have entered into a Management Continuity Agreement. This agreement provides for Mr. Pomeroy to continue employment for a period of eighteen (18) months after a change in control of the Company, with the same responsibilities and authorities and generally the same benefits and compensation as he had immediately prior to the change in control (including average annual increases). If the Company or its successor was to terminate Mr. Pomeroy’s employment for reasons other than "cause" during this continued employment period, or Mr. Pomeroy voluntarily terminated his employment for a "good reason," he would be entitled to certain payments and other benefits as set forth in the agreement. A copy of the Management Continuity Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The employment of John R. Smith as the Company’s Senior Vice President-Human Resources and Administration terminated effective August 17, 2007.
