CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Overview

We are committed to principles of effective corporate governance and to high ethical standards,

as well as compliance with all applicable governance standards of the SEC and the NYSE.

Highlights of our current governance framework are described below.

ü Non-classified Board – annual election of all directors ü Board oversight of risk management
ü Independent Lead Director and Committees ü Executive Sessions during each Board meeting with non-employee directors in attendance
ü Separate CEO and Board Co-Chairs ü Annual Board and Committee self- evaluations
ü Majority voting standard for uncontested director elections ü Age limit for directors (75)
ü Code of Conduct applicable to all directors and executive officers ü Director and executive officer stock ownership requirements
ü Clawback policy for performance-based compensation ü Open communication encouraged among directors and management

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Governance Guidelines”), which

set forth our governance principles and policies relating to, among other things:

• director independence;

• director qualifications and responsibilities;

• mandatory retirement age for independent directors at 75;

• Board structure and meetings;

• leadership team succession; and

• the performance evaluation of our Board.

Our Governance Guidelines are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at

www.apigroup.com. The Board reviews its Governance Guidelines from time to time to evaluate

evolving corporate governance practices and to ensure the guidelines continue to best serve the

Company.

Board Composition and Diversity

Our Board brings deep expertise and broad perspectives from a diversity of industry

experiences, backgrounds, nationalities, ages and other attributes. Our Board believes that this

diversity generates better ideas and perspectives, increases the Board’s overall effectiveness,

and puts it in a better position to make complex decisions and execute APi Group’s long-term

strategic objectives. Currently, our Board comprises 22% female, 11% BIPOC (black/

indigenous/people of color), and three different nationalities. Our Board is 78% independent.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the Board’s overall balance of

diversity of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences in areas relevant to the Company’s

strategy. We view diversity broadly and evaluate a wide range of criteria as we make

selections, including, among others, functional areas of experience, educational background,

employment experience, and industry-specific experience. When selecting Board nominees, the

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also assesses other factors it deems

5

Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

necessary to develop an effective Board, including leadership, integrity, judgment, intelligence,

interpersonal skills, and the willingness and ability of the candidate to devote adequate time to

Board duties for a sustained period.

We believe our Board has the right mix of diversity and experience to appropriately support the

Company’s current long-term strategy and to oversee the most important risks to that strategy.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board has not adopted a formal policy regarding the need to separate or combine the

offices of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Co-Chairs of the Board. Instead, the Board

remains free to make this determination from time to time in a manner that seems most

appropriate for the Company. Currently, we separate the positions of our CEO and Co-Chairs of

the Board. The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and performance of the

Company, while the Co-Chairs of the Board provide strategic guidance to the CEO and set the

agenda for and preside over the Board meetings. We believe that the current separation

provides a more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of the CEO’s performance. The

separation also allows the Co-Chairs of the Board to strengthen the Board’s oversight of our

performance and governance standards.

Director Independence

The Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Lillie, Ashken, Milroy, Malkin and

Walker and Mses. Loop and Wheeler are “independent” as that term is defined under the

applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE listing standards, as well as our

Governance Guidelines. Mr. Milroy serves as lead independent director. Because Sir Martin

controls the entity which receives advisory fees from us, he is not independent under NYSE

listing standards. As CEO of the Company, Mr. Becker is also not independent.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Our full Board has responsibility for overseeing APi’s overall approach to risk management and

is actively engaged in addressing the most significant risks facing the company. While the Board

and its Committees oversee key risk areas, our leadership team is responsible for day-to-day

risk management, identification and mitigation, as well as bringing to the Board’s attention

emerging risks and highlighting the top enterprise risks. We engage in an Enterprise Risk

Management (“ERM”) process that evaluates risks over the short-term, medium-term and long-

term. The ERM process consists of periodic risk assessments performed by various functional

leader groups during the year. Our leadership team presents these assessments to the Audit

Committee to ensure that the process is sound and complete, oversight is appropriate, and the

risks and risk assessments are properly reviewed. The other Committees of the Board consider

the risks within their areas of responsibility. The Board satisfies its oversight responsibility

through reports by each Committee chair regarding the Committee’s considerations and actions

(including from the Audit Committee Chair related specifically to the ERM process), as well as

through regular reports directly from members of our leadership team responsible for oversight

of particular risks within the Company.

Oversight of Sustainability

The Board receives reports on sustainability and corporate responsibility matters across the

Company and both collaborates with APi’s leadership team and oversees the Company’s key

ESG priorities and strategies, goal-setting, and external reporting on ESG matters. The

leadership team is engaged in executing our sustainability strategy through the Sustainability

Committee, whose purpose is to lead on matters of significance to APi and our stakeholders

concerning sustainability and other matters of corporate social responsibility. It also assists the

Board of Directors in overseeing the impact of these matters on our business, strategies,

operations, performance and reputation. The Sustainability Committee members include the

6

Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

CEO, Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), General Counsel, and Chief Sustainability Officer and is

chaired by the Chief People Officer. It reflects the cross-functional nature of corporate

responsibility matters and leverages expertise across our leadership team related to our

business and functional expertise.

Oversight of Cybersecurity

Our cybersecurity risk oversight program is designed to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risk

for APi on a global basis to limit business interruption and protect our confidential and

proprietary information. Our program structure and governance are aligned with industry-

standard cybersecurity frameworks. The full Board and our Audit Committee also receive

regular reports on cybersecurity matters, including the Company’s incident response process.

Shareholder Engagement

The board is committed to ongoing engagement with our shareholders on executive

compensation, corporate governance, and other issues important to our shareholders. These

engagements include discussions on, among other things, Company strategy, compensation,

governance practices, sustainability and our board of directors. The feedback from these

meetings helps inform the Board and leadership team to develop the appropriate strategies for

APi.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code of Conduct”) supports our culture and

establishes the standards of ethical conduct applicable to all our directors, officers, and APi

team members. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers

(“Code of Ethics”) applicable to our CEO and senior financial officers. Copies of our Code of

Conduct and Code of Ethics are publicly available in the Investor Relations section of our

website at www.apigroupinc.com. We will also provide a copy of these documents to

shareholders upon request. We maintain an ethics helpline as set forth in our Code of Conduct

so that any suspected violation of our Code of Conduct can be reported confidentially, without

fear of retaliation. Any waiver of our Code of Conduct with respect to our directors or executive

officers may only be approved by our Board or the Audit Committee and will be disclosed on our

website, as may be required under applicable SEC and NYSE rules.

Meetings

During 2024, the Board held a total of seven meetings. Each incumbent director attended at

least seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the

Board during the period for which he or she was a director and (ii) the total number of meetings

of all Board committees (the “Committees”) on which he or she served during the period for

which he or she was a director. It is the policy of the Board to encourage its members to attend

our Annual Meeting of Shareholders. A majority of our Board members attended the 2024

Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

During 2024, our Board generally held executive sessions, or meetings of non-employee

directors without members of our leadership team present, as part of regularly scheduled

Board, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance

Committee meetings. Our Board Co-Chairs preside over executive sessions of the Board.

Messrs. Ashken, Milroy, and Walker generally preside over the executive sessions of the Audit,

Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, respectively.

Board Committees

Our Board has three standing Committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee,

and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Copies of the committee charters

setting forth the responsibilities of the Committees are available in the Investor Relations

7

Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

section of our website at www.apigroupinc.com, and such information is also available in print

to any shareholder who requests it through our Investor Relations department. The Committees

will periodically review their respective charters and recommend any needed revisions to the

Board. The following is a summary of the composition of each Committee:

Audit Committee Compensation Committee Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Paula D. Loop Thomas V. Milroy* Anthony E. Malkin
Carrie A. Wheeler Cyrus D. Walker Cyrus D. Walker*
  • Committee Chair

Audit Committee

Number of Meetings in 2024: Four

Responsibilities . Our Audit Committee operates pursuant to a formal charter that governs the

responsibilities of the Audit Committee. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit

Committee is responsible for, among other things:

• overseeing preparation of our financial statements, the financial reporting process and

our compliance with legal and regulatory matters;

• appointing and overseeing the work of our independent auditor;

• preapproving all auditing services and permitted non-auditing services to be

performed for us by our independent auditor and approving the fees associated with

such work;

• approving the scope of the annual audit;

• reviewing interim and year-end financial statements;

• overseeing our internal audit function, reviewing any significant reports to the

leadership team arising from such internal audit function and reporting to the Board;

• approving the Audit Committee report required to be included in our annual proxy

statement; and

• reviewing and pre-approving all related party transactions.

The Audit Committee has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within

the scope of its duties and to retain counsel for this purpose where appropriate.

Independence and Financial Expertise . The Board has reviewed the background, experience and

independence of the Audit Committee members and based on this review, has determined that

each member of the Audit Committee:

• meets the independence requirements of the NYSE governance listing standards;

• meets the enhanced independence standards for Audit Committee members required

by the SEC; and

• is financially literate, knowledgeable and qualified to review financial statements.

In addition, the Board has determined that each of Mr. Ashken, Ms. Loop and Ms. Wheeler

qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules.

Compensation Committee

Number of Meetings in 2024: Three

Responsibilities . Our Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a formal charter that

governs the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the Compensation

Committee Charter, last amended in December 2023, the Compensation Committee is

8

Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

responsible for, among other things:

• reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation

for the CEO, evaluating the CEO’s performance and approving the CEO’s

compensation based on such evaluation;

• determining the compensation of other non-CEO Section 16 executive officers and all

equity awards to such executive officers and other team members;

• reviewing and approving on a periodic basis compensation and benefits paid to

directors;

• reviewing and approving our 401(k) profit-sharing plans, stock purchase plans, and

equity-based compensation plans and incentive compensation plans, including

reviewing and approving the target performance benchmarks, if any, and range of

aggregate value of our annual incentive program for the senior leadership team;

• reviewing and approving our executive officer compensation-related plans and

policies; and

• approving the Compensation Committee report on executive compensation required

to be included in our annual proxy statement.

Independence. The Board has reviewed the background, experience and independence of the

Compensation Committee members and based on this review, has determined that each

member of the Compensation Committee:

• meets the independence requirements of the NYSE governance listing standards;

• is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and

• meets the enhanced independence standards for compensation committee members

established by the SEC.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. None of the members of the

Compensation Committee who presently serve or, in the past year, have served on the

Compensation Committee has interlocking relationships as defined by the SEC or had any

relationships requiring disclosure by the Company under the SEC’s rules requiring disclosure of

certain relationships and related party transactions.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to

subcommittees as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.

Use of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain compensation consultants, outside

counsel and other advisors as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The Compensation

Committee has sole authority to approve related fees and retention terms.

Since 2020, the Compensation Committee has utilized the services of Willis Tower Watson

(“WTW”), a global human resources and risk management consulting firm, which acted as its

compensation consultant to assist in reviewing competitive market data and preparing

proposals for 2025 executive compensation. The total fees paid to WTW for these services in

2024 were approximately $52,508.

During 2024, our leadership team also retained separate business units of WTW (Corporate Risk

& Broking and Retirement) to provide insurance brokerage and human-capital management

services to the Company. The total fees paid to WTW’s separate business units with respect to

services provided during 2024 (excluding services provided as compensation consultant as

discussed above) were approximately $3.8 million. The Compensation Committee was not

involved in our leadership team’s decision to retain these separate business units of WTW to

provide such services.

Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

The Compensation Committee determined that the work of the separate business units of WTW

on matters other than executive compensation did not raise any conflict of interest with WTW’s

services as compensation consultant. It took into account, among other factors, WTW’s policies

and procedures relating to the prevention and mitigation of conflicts of interest, and the use of

separate teams for compensation consulting services and other services provided by WTW and

its business units, and it determined that WTW is independent.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Number of Meetings in 2024: Two

Responsibilities . Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a

formal charter that governs the responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance

Committee. Pursuant to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, the

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

• assisting our Board in identifying prospective director nominees and recommending

nominees for each annual meeting of shareholders to our Board;

• leading the search for individuals qualified to become members of the Board and

selecting director nominees to be presented for shareholder approval at our annual

meetings;

• reviewing the Board’s committee structure and recommending to the Board for

approval directors to serve as members of each committee;

• developing and recommending to the Board for approval a set of corporate

governance guidelines and generally advising the Board on corporate governance

matters;

• reviewing such corporate governance guidelines on a periodic basis and

recommending changes as necessary; and

• reviewing director nominations submitted by shareholders.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may, when it deems appropriate,

delegate certain of its responsibilities to one or more Nominating and Corporate Governance

Committee members or subcommittees.

Independence. The Board has reviewed the background, experience and independence of the

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members and based on this review, has

determined that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets

the independence requirements of the NYSE governance standards and SEC rules and

regulations.

Consideration of Director Nominees . The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

considers possible candidates for nominees for directors from many sources, including

shareholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the suitability of

potential candidates nominated by shareholders in the same manner as other candidates

recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Shareholders who

wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance

Committee to become nominees for election to the Board at an annual meeting of shareholders

may do so by delivering a written recommendation to our Secretary at the following address:

APi Group Corporation, 1100 Old Highway 8 NW, New Brighton, Minnesota 55112, Attn: General

Counsel and Secretary, generally not less than 90 nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the

first anniversary of the date on which the Company held the preceding year’s annual meeting of

shareholders. Submissions must include, among other things, (i) all information relating to the

individual subject to such nomination that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies

for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to

and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, (ii) such individual’s written

consent to being named in a proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as director if elected

10

Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

and (iii) such other information as may be required by our bylaws, including information with

respect to the shareholder giving notice of such nomination.

In making nominations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is required to

submit candidates who have the highest personal and professional integrity, who have

demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment and who will be most effective, in conjunction

with the other nominees to the Board, in collectively serving the long-term interests of the

shareholders. In evaluating nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

will consider the following attributes, which are desirable for a member of the Board:

leadership, independence, interpersonal skills, financial acumen, business experiences, industry

knowledge and diversity of viewpoints. As discussed above in "Board Composition and

Diversity," we also recognize the value and strategic importance of Board diversity.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Insider Trading Policy, which is applicable to all team members (including executive

officers) and directors of the Company, makes clear that no team members or director may

engage in hedging transactions or any other forms of monetization transactions that hedge or

offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity

securities granted as compensation, or held directly or indirectly by the team member or

director.

Communications with the Board

Under our Governance Guidelines, a process has been established by which shareholders and

other interested parties may communicate with members of the Board. Any shareholder or

other interested party may communicate in writing to any Chair of the Board, c/o General

Counsel and Secretary, APi Group Corporation, 1100 Old Highway 8 NW, New Brighton, MN

55112.

The Board has approved a process for handling correspondence received by the Company and

addressed to non-employee directors. Under that process, any Chair or an officer delegated by

the Co-Chairs (“Delegated Officer”) reviews all such correspondence and maintains a log of all

such correspondence and forwards to the directors copies of all correspondence that, in the

opinion of any Chair or the Delegated Officer, deal with the functions of the Board or

Committees thereof or that any Chair or Delegated Officer otherwise determines requires their

attention. Any Chair or Delegated Officer may screen frivolous or unlawful communications and

commercial advertisements. Directors may at any time review the log.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Since January 1, 2024, we did not enter into any related party transactions other than as set

forth below.

Advisory Services Agreement

On October 1, 2019, we entered into an Advisory Services Agreement with Mariposa Capital,

LLC, an affiliate of Sir Martin. Under this agreement, Mariposa Capital, LLC agreed to provide

certain services, including corporate development and advisory services, advisory services with

respect to mergers and acquisitions, investor relations services, strategic planning advisory

services, capital expenditure allocation advisory services, strategic treasury advisory services

and such other services relating to the Company as may from time to time be mutually agreed.

In connection with these services, Mariposa Capital, LLC is entitled to receive an annual fee

equal to $4,000,000, payable in quarterly installments. The initial term of this agreement was

through October 1, 2020 and has been and will in the future be automatically renewed for

successive one-year terms unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its intention

not to renew this agreement no later than 90 days prior to the expiration of the term. This

11

Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

agreement may only be terminated by the Company upon a vote of a majority of our directors.

In the event that this agreement is terminated by the Company, the effective date of the

termination will be six months following the expiration of the initial term or a renewal term, as

the case may be.

Registration Rights

Viking Global Investors

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement dated March 24, 2020, with Viking Global

Opportunities Liquid Portfolio Sub-Master LP (“Viking”), the beneficial owner of approximately

7.8% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of March 21, 2025, we (i) filed a

registration statement on May 12, 2021 (that was declared effective by the SEC on May 21,

2021) to register the resale of common stock then held by Viking and (ii) agreed that, if we

propose to register any of our common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

“Securities Act”) in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other

than in certain excluded registrations), we will register all of the shares that the Viking

Opportunities Fund requests to be included in such registration (subject to customary cutbacks

if the underwriters determine that less than all of the shares requested to be registered can be

included in such offering).

The registration rights agreement contains customary indemnities. Our obligations under the

registration rights agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) such time as all of the shares

that may be registered under the agreement have been sold and (b) such time as all of such

shares may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a single transaction without

limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Series B Preferred Stock Transactions

On February 28, 2024, the Company entered into a Conversion and Repurchase Agreement (the

“Series B Conversion Agreement”) with Juno Lower Holdings L.P. (“Juno”) and FD Juno Holdings

L.P. (“FD Juno” and, together with Juno, the “Blackstone Purchasers”), which together with

other entities affiliated with Blackstone Inc. beneficially own greater than 5% of the Company’s

common stock, and Viking Global Equities Master Ltd. (“VGEM”) and Viking Global Equities II LP

(“VGE” and, together with VGEM, the “Viking Purchasers,” and together with the Blackstone

Purchasers, the “Series B Purchasers”), which together with other entities managed by Viking

Global Investors LP beneficially own greater than 5% of the Company’s common stock,

pursuant to which the Series B Purchasers agreed to convert all of the outstanding shares of the

Series B Preferred Stock that they hold, which represents all of the shares of Series B Preferred

Stock outstanding. The transactions contemplated by the agreement were also consummated

on February 28, 2024.

Under the terms of the Series B Conversion Agreement, (i) the Series B Holders each agreed to

exercise their respective right to convert all of their Series B Preferred Stock into common

stock, resulting in a total of 800,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted into

approximately 32,803,519 shares of common stock of the Company (inclusive of approximately

283,196 shares attributable to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, the “Conversion Shares”)

and (ii) upon issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Company agreed to immediately

repurchase one-half of the Conversion Shares, on a pro rata basis, from the Series B Holders

for an aggregate purchase price of $600 million.

The repurchase price was financed by (i) an incremental term facility of $300 million funded

exclusively by the Blackstone Purchasers in the amount of $225 million and the Viking

Purchasers in the amount of $75 million, (ii) a drawdown under the Company’s existing

revolving credit facility and (iii) cash on hand. The interest rate applicable to the incremental

term facility is, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal

12

Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

to 1.50% per annum or (b) a Term SOFR rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an

Policy Regarding Related Party Transactions

The Board has determined that the Audit Committee is best suited to review and pre-approve

transactions with related persons, in accordance with the policy set forth in the Audit

Committee Charter. Such review will apply to any material transaction or series of related

transactions or any material amendment to any such transaction involving a related person and

the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of the policy, “related persons”

consists of executive officers, directors, director nominees, any shareholder beneficially owning

more than 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock, and immediate family members of

any such persons. In reviewing related person transactions, the Audit Committee takes into

account all factors that it deems appropriate, including whether the transaction is on terms no

less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or

similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. No

member of the Audit Committee is permitted to participate in any review, consideration or

approval of any related person transaction in which the director or any of his or her immediate

family members is the related person.

Executive Compensation Setting Process

Roles and Responsibilities

Role — Compensation Committee Responsibilities — Oversees Programs and Decisions Description — Our Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee Charter that governs the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things: • reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for the CEO, evaluating the CEO’s performance and approving the CEO’s compensation based on such evaluation; and • determining compensation for the Company’s other executive officers. In reviewing and determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee generally considers: compensation levels at peer companies and information derived from compensation surveys provided by outside consultants, as further described below; the Company’s past-year performance and growth; the results of any Say- on-Pay votes by shareholders; achievement of specific pre-established financial goals; a subjective determination of the executives’ past performance and expected future contributions to the Company; past equity awards granted to such executives; and the recommendation of the CEO.
Shareholders Provide Feedback The Compensation Committee evaluates the most recent advisory vote of the Company's shareholders on executive compensation, known as the "Say-on-Pay" vote, as well as other feedback that it may receive from the Company's largest shareholders in connection with this vote. Our Say-on-Pay results consistently reflect strong support for the linkage between pay and performance in our compensation programs. Over the past three years our Say-on-Pay results have been above 95%.
2024 2023 2022
Say on Pay Results 98.5% 95.5% 96.5%
The Compensation Committee believes these voting results demonstrate significant continuing support for our executive compensation program. We seek input from our shareholders and conduct shareholder engagement efforts throughout the year. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the views of our shareholders in connection with executive pay practices and programs and will make adjustments based on evolving best practices and changing regulatory or other requirements.
Independent Compensation Consultant Advises Compensation Committee In 2024, the Compensation Committee used WTW to serve as the independent compensation consultant. The information from WTW regarding pay practices at peer companies is used by the Compensation Committee as a resource in its deliberations regarding executive compensation and will be useful in determining the marketplace competitiveness as well as reasonableness and appropriateness of our executive compensation programs.
Executive Officers Provide Input and Insights The Compensation Committee considers input from our CEO, CFO, and Chief People Officer when determining performance metrics and objectives for our STI and LTI plans and evaluating performance against such metrics and objectives. Our CEO and Chief People Officer then evaluate the individual performance and the competitive pay positioning of senior management members who report directly to the CEO, including the NEOs, and then make recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the target compensation for such NEOs and other executive officers of the Company.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Compensation Peer Group

How we use peer group data

We compare our executive compensation programs to those of 16 companies that make up our

compensation peer group. The Compensation Committee uses peer group data to generally

inform:

• compensation plan design,

• compensation levels for our NEOs, including base salaries, annual incentive targets

and LTI award targets, and

• form and mix of equity awards granted to our NEOs.

When making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee generally analyzes data

relating to our peer group and considers the dynamics of operating in the safety services and

specialty services industries, the importance of rewarding and retaining talented and

experienced executives to continue to guide the Company, the alignment of our executive

compensation program with shareholders’ interests and the voting guidelines of certain proxy

advisory firms and shareholders. In addition, in connection with the 2024 executive

compensation program design, the Compensation Committee received analyses, guidance and

recommendations, including general information on executive compensation market trends and

practices of peer companies, provided by the Compensation Committee’s independent

compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee does not strictly benchmark executive

pay against this comparative compensation information, but instead uses this data as a market

check to inform its compensation decisions.

How our peer group was determined

In determining our 2024 peer group, the Compensation Committee considered factors such as

revenue, market capitalization, global scope of operations, and industry alignment. The

approach taken by the Compensation Committee in selecting the peer group excluded larger

companies from the market data review but included them as “reference peers” for the purpose

of providing qualitative data about program design for the Compensation Committee’s

reference. For 2024, one peer was removed given lack of operations and industry alignment.

Components of the Executive Compensation Program

Our NEOs receive a base salary, annual cash incentive compensation, and annual equity

incentive awards (each, an “LTI Award”) and participate in our employee benefits programs and

plans.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee approved, and the Company

implemented, the executive compensation program for 2024.

The following table summarizes the primary components of the 2024 executive compensation

programs. Each NEO's base salary and target incentives are determined based on peer group

market data by role, job scope and responsibilities, individual contributions to business

outcomes, pay equity, and future potential.

Component of Pay Key Characteristics
Base Salary Attract and retain top talent • Fixed compensation paid in cash
Short-Term Incentives (STI) Align compensation with annual financial performance on key financial metrics and motivate the achievement of those results • Metric(s): 100% Adjusted EBITDA • Payout Range: 0-200% of target • Each NEO has a target % of base salary • Actual payouts 100% based on financial results vs. targets
Long-Term Incentives (LTI) Align the interests of our executives with shareholders, encourage long-term value creation and serve as a retention vehicle • Value tied to stock price performance • Mix: 60% PSUs and 40% RSUs • Vesting Timeframe: 3-years • PSU Metric(s): 100% Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA • PSU Payout Range: 0-200% of target • Each NEO has a target % of base salary • Actual vested value based on stock price performance and in some cases, achievement of financial results vs. targets

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

2024 Compensation Decisions

Consistent with our compensation philosophy of paying for performance, our compensation

decisions closely link pay and performance. Our performance during 2024 resulted in the

following compensation actions.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee expects to annually review the NEOs’ base salaries and make

appropriate adjustments based on factors determined by the Compensation Committee,

including individual responsibilities and performance, internal pay equity, compensation history,

executive potential, and peer group and market-based data, as described above. During 2024,

the base salaries of our NEOs changed as set forth below:

Name Base Salary Increase (%)
Russell A. Becker $1,425,000 0.0%
Glenn David Jackola (1) $386,250
Kevin S. Krumm $832,000 5.1%
Louis B. Lambert $550,000 10.0%
Kristina M. Morton $530,000 11.6%

(1) Mr. Jackola was appointed as Interim CFO on December 13, 2024 and has not received a base salary increase

since becoming an NEO.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation

In 2024, Company executives had an opportunity to earn cash incentive compensation based

on the achievement of annual performance goals developed in the annual budget process and

approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee annually reviews,

and revises if necessary, the appropriateness of the performance metrics, their correlation to

the Company’s overall growth strategy and the impact of such performance metrics on long-

term shareholder value.

STI Opportunity . For 2024, all our NEOs were eligible for an annual cash incentive opportunity

as outlined below, based on the achievement of a performance goal tied to annual Adjusted

EBITDA performance.

Amounts payable under the annual incentive portion of the executive compensation plan can

range from 0-200% of target, with a threshold payout at 40% of target and a maximum payout

of 200% of target based on achievement of the performance goal. If the performance goal was

achieved between the threshold level and target or between the target and maximum level, the

amount of the annual incentive payment with respect to that performance goal is calculated on

a linear basis from the target level.

Performance Metrics, Target, 2024 Performance and Payout. For 2024, the Compensation

Committee determined that the annual incentive compensation paid to our NEOs would be

based on performance against adjusted EBITDA targets. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated based

on net income, adjusted as described in the Appendix and to eliminate the impact of foreign

currency fluctuations and significant acquisitions and divestitures. The Compensation

Committee believes that our NEOs can impact adjusted EBITDA and that it is one of the most

important performance metrics used by investors, shareholders and creditors as an indicator of

the performance of our core business.

The Company’s adjusted EBITDA for 2024 was $893.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the

purposes of incentive calculations was then reduced to $872.4 million, resulting in an 77.1%

payout on the annual cash incentives plan. The reduction of $20.7 million reflected adjustments

based on policies previously adopted by the Compensation Committee for the impact of foreign

exchange and acquisitions and divestitures on short-term incentive payouts as described in

effective December 13, 2024, participated in two plans for 2024. His incentive payout was

prorated based on the time spent in each role. The details relating to his incentive calculation

have been included in a footnote to the chart below.

The payouts for the NEOs were:

Named Executive Officer 2024 Earnings Target STI as a % of Base Salary Financial Performance Payout Factor Payout
Russell A. Becker $1,425,000 125% 77.1% $1,373,344
Glenn David Jackola (1) $401,250 (1) (1) $442,756
Kevin S. Krumm (2) Not eligible
Louis B. Lambert $550,000 75% 77.1% $318,038
Kristina M. Morton (3) $520,000 75% 77.1% $300,690

(1) Mr. Jackola's 2024 earnings for purposes of incentive calculations was $401,250, $386,250 from his base salary

and $15,000 from his cash stipend in his role as Interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Jackola's 2024 short-term

incentive payout was made up of three components, (1) $277,173 for his time as APi International, Chief Financial

Officer, (2) $15,583 for his time as Interim, Chief Financial Officer based on an incentive score of 77.1% and (3)

$150,000 approved by the Compensation Committee associated with his 2024 individual performance. Equating to

a total short-term incentive payout of $442,756.

(2) Mr. Krumm's last day of employment with the Company was December 13, 2024, and therefore he is not eligible

for a 2024 annual incentive payout.

(3) Ms. Morton's salary increased from $510,000 to $530,000 effective July 1, 2024. Therefore, her 2024 earnings for

purposes of incentive calculation were $520,000.

Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Compensation

2024 LTI Grants

The 2024 executive compensation program adopted by the Compensation Committee includes

the grant of LTI Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee used a

percentage of each NEO’s base salary to determine the value of the LTI Award to be granted to

each NEO each year. The Compensation Committee also believes that the structure of LTI

Awards should correlate the value of any such award to the achievement by the Company of

long-term and strategic objectives. As such, the Compensation Committee expects that a

significant percentage of the amount of LTI Awards will be subject to the achievement of

Company performance goals. Time-based awards are awarded as part of a balanced approach

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

to encourage retention and ensure that the Company’s compensation programs do not

encourage excessive risk-taking.

For 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a mix of PSUs and RSUs to the

NEOs. The RSUs represent 40% of the total target award amount and will vest ratably over

three years from the date of grant. The PSUs represent 60% of the total target award amount,

assuming performance and vesting at target levels. The performance metric for the 2024 PSU

LTI Awards were based on cumulative adjusted EBITDA dollars. The metric was chosen because

we believe it is a driver of sustained value creation over the long term for our shareholders. The

cumulative adjusted EBITDA dollar metric has a three-year performance period and a payout

range of 0-200% based on the achievement of the pre-established goals (below threshold

performance equating to 0%, threshold performance equating to 25%, target performance

equating to 100% and maximum performance equating to 200%), the achievement of which

will be determined by the Compensation Committee following the three-year performance

period ending December 31, 2026. In 2024, the Compensation Committee granted the following

LTI Awards to the NEOs:

Named Executive Officer Target LTI as a % of Base Salary Total Grant Date Fair Value ($) PSUs RSUs
Russell A. Becker 420% $5,985,054 $3,591,025 $2,394,029
Glenn David Jackola n/a $250,065 $150,032 $100,033
Kevin S. Krumm 250% $2,080,043 $1,248,033 $832,010
Louis B. Lambert 175% $962,536 $577,507 $385,029
Kristina M. Morton 155% $790,530 $474,325 $316,205

The above PSU award represents the target grant amount; actual shares earned at vesting, if

any, may be higher or lower depending on the level of performance achieved.

Off-Cycle Equity Award for Mr. Jackola

In connection with Mr. Jackola's appointment to Interim Chief Financial Officer, the

Compensation Committee approved a special one-time RSU award with a fair market value of

$500,018 on December 1, 2024. This award will vest in three equal annual installments,

beginning in December 2025.

2022-2024 PSU Payout

In March 2022, Mr. Becker and Mr. Jackola were granted Adjusted EBITDA PSUs (50% of total

PSU grant value) and Target Share Price PSUs (50% of total PSU grant value). Mr. Becker and

Mr. Jackola received the vested shares for both awards in February and March 2025. Mr.

Lambert and Ms. Morton did not receive a 2022-2024 PSU award.

Adjusted EBITDA Dollar Award

These PSUs had a performance period of January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2024 and have a

payout range of 0 - 200% for Mr. Becker and 0 - 175% for Mr. Jackola based 100% on 3-year

Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA dollars for the three-year performance period.

Metric 2022 - 2024 Financial Targets — < Threshold Threshold Target Maximum 2022 - 2024 Actual Results
3-year Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA ($ in millions) <$2,112 $2,112 $2,224 $2,379 $2,417

Jackola Payout % 0% 25% 100% 175% 175%

Table of Contents

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The original PSU targets were increased to reflect the impact of acquisition and divestiture

activity during the performance period. The Company’s cumulative adjusted EBITDA dollar for

the three year performance period was $2,417 million, resulting in an 175% payout for Mr.

Jackola and a 200% payout for Mr. Becker. These results reflect adjustments based on policies

previously adopted by the Compensation Committee for the impact of foreign exchange

described in Appendix A.

Target Share Price Award

These PSUs vest at target and only in the event that the performance target was achieved. The

share price performance criteria was a $30+ per share price for 20 consecutive trading days.

This represented a 44% increase from the grant date share price. On December 27, 2023, that

performance criteria was met and 100% of the granted shares vested on March 9, 2025.

Benefits and Other Perquisites

We provide team members, including the NEOs, with a range of employee benefits including life

and health insurance, disability benefits and retirement benefits (as described below), that are

designed to assist in attracting and retaining skilled team members critical to our long-term

success, and to be competitive with market practice.

401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan

Most of our domestic team members, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in the

Company’s tax-qualified 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Pursuant to the

401(k) Plan, team members may elect to contribute a portion of their current compensation to

the 401(k) Plan, in an amount up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. The 401(k) Plan

provides the option for the Company to make matching contributions. Participants may also

direct the investment of their 401(k) Plan accounts into several investment alternatives. The

Profit Sharing Plan provides for an annual discretionary contribution of the Company's common

stock based on certain performance criteria reviewed and approved by the Compensation

Committee.

Other Benefits and Perquisites

We provide each of our NEOs with an executive term life insurance policy which provides a

death benefit of $550,000 and an executive disability insurance policy which covers up to 75%

of their base salary. We provide each of our NEOs with a car allowance. Certain NEOs receive

reimbursement of the cost of annual physicals.

Perquisites paid by the Company are reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column in the

Summary Compensation Table in the “Executive Compensation” section.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Most of our domestic team members, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in the

Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Sales of shares of our common stock

under the ESPP are generally made pursuant to offerings that are intended to satisfy the

requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP permits team members of

the Company, including our NEOs, to purchase common stock at a discount equal to 85% of the

lesser of (i) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period, or (ii)

the market value of the common stock on the purchase date, whichever is lower. Participants

are subject to eligibility requirements and may not purchase more than 500 shares in any

offering period or more than $10,000 of common stock in a year under the ESPP.

Expatriate Assignments

Team members that go on an expatriate assignment are eligible for specific benefits. Expatriate

benefits offered to executives are consistent with benefits offered to other team members on

similar assignments. These benefits include housing allowance, relocation, goods and services

allowance, home leave, spousal assistance, and tax equalization. Allowances paid by the

Company are reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation

Table in the “Executive Compensation” section.

Other Compensation-Related Practices and Policies

Change in Control

The Employment Agreement with Mr. Becker provides that if he is terminated either without

“cause” (as defined in his Employment Agreement) or terminates his employment for “good

reason” (as defined in his Employment Agreement) during the two-year period immediately

following a “change in control” (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), he will be entitled to

certain payments and benefits. The Executive Severance Policy, effective January 1, 2023 and

applicable to Ms. Morton and Mr. Lambert, provides that if an Eligible Executive (as defined in

the policy) is terminated without “cause” (as defined in the policy) or terminates their

employment for “good reason” (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) during the one-year

period following a “change in control” (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), they will be

entitled to certain severance payments and benefits. See the “Potential Payments Upon

Termination or Change in Control” section below. We believe such change in control provisions

serve the best interests of the Company and our shareholders by allowing our executives to

exercise sound business judgement without fear of significant economic loss in the event they

lose their employment with the Company as a result of a change in control. We also believe that

such arrangements are competitive, reasonable and necessary to attract and retain key

executives. As Interim CFO, Mr. Jackola is not an "Eligible Executive" under the Executive

Severance Policy.

Executive Severance

Under his Employment Agreement, if Mr. Becker is involuntarily terminated without “cause” or

terminates his employment for “good reason” during a period outside the two-year period

immediately following a change in control, he will be entitled to: (i) all previously earned and

accrued but unpaid amounts of his base salary up to his termination date; and (ii) subject to

certain conditions, severance pay as described under the “Potential Payments Upon Termination

or Change in Control” section below. Under the Executive Severance Policy, effective January 1,

2023, Mr. Lambert and Ms. Morton are entitled to severance pay as described under the

“Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section below.

Clawback Policy

Effective August 1, 2023, the Company amended its Executive Compensation Clawback Policy

to apply to excess incentive-based compensation received by any officers subject to Section 16

of the Exchange Act ("covered officers") in the event of a required accounting restatement. The

policy is intended to comply with the final rules regarding recovery of erroneously awarded

compensation as promulgated by the SEC and the NYSE in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Subject to limited exceptions, the policy provides that the Company will recover the incentive-

based compensation received by each covered officer during the prior three fiscal years that

exceeds the amount that the covered officers otherwise would have received had the incentive-

based compensation been determined based on the restated financial statements.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee believes that it is important to align the interests of our directors

and executive officers, including our NEOs, with the interests of our shareholders. In 2022, the

Compensation Committee adopted Stock Ownership Guidelines for Executive Officers and Non-

Employee Directors, which require non-employee directors and executive officers to hold shares

with a value equal to or exceeding a multiple of annual cash retainer or base salary, as

applicable. Each non-employee director and executive officer is expected to comply with the

guidelines within four years following the date he or she becomes subject to the requirements.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Failure to satisfy these Guidelines will limit the ability of the relevant individual to sell shares of

our stock. The following table sets forth the Stock Ownership Guidelines:

Title Stock Ownership Guidelines
CEO 5x Base Salary
Executive Vice Presidents & Senior Vice Presidents 2x Base Salary

Shares included in this calculation are those directly or indirectly owned (including without

limitation unvested RSU awards not subject to achievement of performance goals) and shares

held in savings plans (including without limitation the 401(k) Plan) or acquired through the

ESPP. All NEOs are in compliance with the Stock Ownership Guidelines.

(1) The amounts in this column do not reflect compensation actually received by the NEOs, nor do they reflect the

actual value that will be recognized by the NEOs. Instead, the amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair

value of awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For a discussion of valuation assumptions used

in calculating the amounts for 2024, see Note 20 to our historical consolidated financial statements for the year

ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(2) Amounts shown in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs granted to certain of our

NEOs, and the grant date fair value of time-based RSUs granted to each of our NEOs in the fiscal years indicated,

computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs that have an

EBITDA performance condition was computed based on the probable outcome of the applicable performance target

as of the grant date and 100% achievement of such performance target. For 2024, the value of these PSUs at the

grant date assuming the highest level of performance achieved, earned at 200% of target would be $7,182,051 for

Mr. Becker; $300,063 for Mr. Jackola; $2,496,066 for Mr. Krumm; $1,155,015 for Mr. Lambert; and $948,650 for

Ms. Morton. The grant date fair value of the time-based RSUs was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic

718, based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. Additional information regarding

the 2024 equity awards is set forth below in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2024 table.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our Employment Agreement with Mr. Becker as in effect in 2025 provides for severance

payments under certain circumstances. Under his Employment Agreement, the Company may

terminate Mr. Becker’s employment at any time with or without “cause” (as defined in his

Employment Agreement), and Mr. Becker may terminate employment at any time for “good

reason” (as defined in his Employment Agreement). If the Company terminates the

employment of Mr. Becker without cause or if he terminates employment for good reason, he

would be entitled to receive (i) his base salary for two years from the date of termination, (ii)

an amount equal to two times his target annual bonus, paid in two annual installments, (iii) any

earned and accrued but unpaid base salary up to the date of termination, (iv) his prorated

annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, (v) any unpaid annual bonus with

respect to any completed fiscal year and (vi) his vested employee benefits. Mr. Becker would

not be entitled to any unearned salary, bonus or other benefits if the Company were to

terminates him for cause or if he were to terminate employment voluntarily without good

reason.

Also pursuant to Mr. Becker's Employment Agreement, if employment should terminate as a

result of death or disability, Mr. Becker, or his estate, would be entitled to receive (i) all

previously earned and accrued but unpaid base salary up to the date of termination and (ii) his

prorated annual bonus for the year in which termination occurs. The Company’s obligation

under Mr. Becker's Employment Agreement terminates on the last day of the month in which

his death occurs or on the date of termination of employment on account of his disability.

With respect to Mr. Lambert and Ms. Morton, as provided under the Executive Severance Policy

(i) if, during the one-year period immediately following a “change in control,” the Company

terminates the executive without “cause” (as defined in the policy) or if the executive

terminates employment for “good reason” (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), the

executive would be entitled to receive, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, (a) an

amount equal to 1.5x base salary, (b) an annual bonus amount based on target performance,

(c) continued insurance coverage for twelve months following the date of termination, and (d)

accelerated vesting of his or her unvested RSUs and PSUs at the greater of actual or target

performance; and (ii) if the Company should terminate the executive without cause at any

other time, the executive would be entitled to receive, subject to satisfaction of certain

conditions, (a) an amount equal to 1.0x or 1.5x base salary, determined by length of

employment, (b) an annual bonus amount based on target performance, and (c) continued

COBRA insurance coverage for twelve months following the date of termination. Neither Mr.

Lambert nor Ms. Morton would be entitled to any unearned salary, bonus or other benefits if the

Company were to terminate them for cause or if they were to terminate employment voluntarily

without good reason. Mr. Jackola is not entitled to the Executive Severance Policy or any other

Severance Policy.

The following table shows the estimated benefits payable to each NEO in the event of

termination of employment and/or change in control of the Company, as described above. The

(1) The Intrinsic Value of Equity represents the value of the acceleration of vesting of the executive’s RSUs and PSUs in

the event of termination without cause or for good reason during the applicable period immediately following a

change in control or upon a change in control pursuant to the applicable PSU agreement. The value is calculated by

multiplying the closing price of a share of common stock on December 31, 2024, or $35.97 per share, by the

number of units, which, in the case of PSUs, assumes target performance.

(2) Amount includes the cost of benefits continuation for the applicable period.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we

are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total

compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Becker.

For fiscal 2024:

• The total compensation of our median employee , calculated in accordance with the rules

applicable to the Summary Compensation Table, was $75,771;

• The total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was

$8,838,608; and

• The ratio of our CEO's total compensation to the median employee's total compensation

36

Table of Contents

Executive Compensation

was 117 to 1.

To identify our median employee:

• We included all Company employees (excluding the CEO) as of December 31, 2022,

located in 10 countries in which we have operations; our employees in those 10 countries

represent approximately 95% of employees on that date.

• We excluded 1,402 employees from 13 countries under the SEC’s de minimis exemption. (1)

• We used the gross cash compensation paid during calendar year 2022; we did not make

any cost-of-living or other adjustments in identifying the median employee, and we did

not annualize the pay of any employees who were not employed for the full year. As of

December 31, 2022, our employee population consisted of approximately 27,400

individuals working at the Company and its subsidiaries, of which approximately 13,500

were based in the United States and approximately 13,900 were based outside of the

United States.

There has not been a material change in our team member population or compensation

arrangements that would result in a significant change in the disclosure. The median employee

determined for fiscal 2022 and included in fiscal 2023 is no longer employed at the Company.

Accordingly, as permitted by SEC Rules, an employee whose compensation was substantially

similar to that of the fiscal 2022 median employee (and also an hourly employee located in the

United States) was selected as the median employee for fiscal 2024.

The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that

employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to

apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their

employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other

companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have

different employee populations and compensation practices, and may utilize different

methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

This information is being provided in response to SEC disclosure requirements. Neither the

Compensation Committee nor the leadership team of the Company uses the pay ratio measure

in making any compensation decisions.

(1) The countries and approximate number of employees excluded from the calculation are as follows:

Austria (73), Belgium (279), China (75), Ireland (167), Macau (114), Monaco (3), New Zealand (205),

Norway (88), Portugal (5), Singapore (157), Sweden (51), Switzerland (136), and Thailand (49).

Pay Versus Performance

As required by pay versus performance rules adopted by the SEC in 2022 (“PVP Rules”), the

below Pay Versus Performance table (“PVP Table”) provides information about compensation for

this proxy statement’s NEOs, as well as NEOs from our 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 proxy

statements (each of 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, a “Covered Year”). The PVP Table also

provides information about the results for certain financial performance measures during those

same Covered Years. In reviewing this information, there are a few important things to

consider:

• The information in columns (b) and (d) comes directly from this and prior years’ Summary

Compensation Tables, without adjustment;

• As required by the PVP Rules, we describe the information in columns (c) and (e) as

“compensation actually paid” (or “CAP”) to the applicable NEOs, but these CAP amounts

may not necessarily reflect compensation that our NEOs actually earned for their service in

the Covered Years;

• The PVP Rules require that we choose a peer group or index for purposes of TSR

comparisons, and we have chosen the same peer group reflected in our Annual Report on

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which group consists of: Cintas

Corporation, Comfort Systems USA, Inc., Dycom Industries, Inc., EMCOR Group Inc., First

Service Corporation, Johnson Controls International plc, MasTec Inc., Otis Worldwide, and

Quanta Services, Inc (the “PVP Peer Group”); and

• As required by the PVP Rules, we provide information about our cumulative TSR,

cumulative PVP Peer Group TSR results and U.S. GAAP net income results (the “External

Measures”) during the Covered Years in the PVP Table, but we did not actually base any

compensation decisions for the NEOs on, or link any NEO pay to, these particular External

Measures.

Pursuant to the PVP Rules, the Company is required to designate one financial metric as the

“Company-Selected Measure,” or the most important financial measure that demonstrates how

the Company sought to link 2024 executive pay to performance. For 2024, the Company has

selected adjusted EBITDA. Please refer to Appendix A for reconciliation of non-GAAP measures

to most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(1) Mr. Becker was the principal executive officer (“PEO”) for each of the Covered Years. The names of each of the

other NEOs included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each Covered Year are as follows: (i) for

2024, Mr. Krumm, Mr. Lambert, Mr. Jackola, and Ms. Morton, (ii) for 2023, Mr. Krumm, Mr. Lambert, and Ms.

Morton; (iii) for 2022, Mr. Krumm, Mr. Lambert, Ms. Morton, Mr. Jackola, and Ms. Fike; (iv) for 2021, Mr. Krumm,

and Mr. Polovitz.

( 2) In accordance with the PVP Rules, the following adjustments were made to Mr. Becker’s total compensation for

each Covered Year to determine the PEO CAP. The equity award adjustments for each applicable Covered Year

include those adjustments required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The valuation assumptions used to calculate

fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant.

PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR 2025 FISCAL

YEAR

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed KPMG to continue to serve as our independent

registered public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year. KPMG has been our independent

registered public accounting firm since 2019.

In the event our shareholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, such appointment may be

reconsidered by the Audit Committee. Ratification of the appointment of KPMG to serve as our

independent registered public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year will in no way limit the

Audit Committee’s authority to terminate or otherwise change the engagement of KPMG for the

2025 fiscal year. We expect representatives of KPMG to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting, where

they will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will also be available

to respond to appropriate questions.

Fees Billed to the Company by its Independent Registered Public Accounting

Firms

The following table presents fees billed for audit and other services rendered by KPMG and in

2024 and 2023:

Services Provided 2024 (KPMG) ($) 2023 (KPMG) ($)
Audit Fees (1) $ 11,076,000 $ 10,285,000
Audit Related Fees (2) $ 25,000 $ 279,000
Tax Fees (3) $ 281,000 $ 30,000
All Other Fees $ — $ —
Total $ 11,382,000 $ 10,594,000

(1) Audit fees for 2024 and 2023 were for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our

consolidated financial statements, including quarterly reviews, statutory audits, and comfort letter in connection

with a securities offering.

(2) The 2024 and 2023 audit-related fees were for professional services associated with other audit and attestation

services.

(3) Tax fees for 2024 and 2023 were for professional services associated with tax compliance and tax consultation.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures for Audit and Permitted Non-Audit

Services

The Audit Committee requires that it preapprove all auditing services and permitted non-audit

services to be performed by its independent auditor, subject to the de minimis exceptions for

non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which are approved

by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. Either the Chair of the Audit

Committee acting alone or the other two members acting jointly may grant preapprovals of

audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that decisions of such subcommittee to grant

preapprovals will be presented to the full Audit Committee or the Board at its next scheduled

meeting.

Consistent with these policies and procedures, the Audit Committee has approved all of the

services rendered by KPMG during fiscal year 2024, as described above.

Proposal 2—Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accountants For 2025 Fiscal Year

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company

on behalf of the Board. The Company's leadership team has primary responsibility for the

Company’s financial statements, financial reporting process and internal controls over financial

reporting. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the

Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company

Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and evaluating the effectiveness of

internal controls and issuing reports thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to select

the independent auditors and monitor and oversee the accounting and financial reporting

processes of the Company, including the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting

and the audits of the financial statements of the Company.

During 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, the Audit Committee regularly met and held

discussions with the Company's leadership team and the independent auditors. In the

discussions related to the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2024, the Company's

leadership team represented to the Audit Committee that such financial statements were

prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit

Committee reviewed and discussed with the Company's leadership team and the independent

auditors the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2024 and leadership’s evaluation of the

effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors

those matters required to be discussed by the auditors with the Audit Committee under the

applicable rules adopted by the PCAOB and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee received

from the independent auditors the written disclosures and letter required by applicable

requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit

Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent

auditors that firm’s independence. In connection with this discussion, the Audit Committee also

considered also whether the provision of services by the independent auditors not related to the

audit of the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2024 was compatible with

maintaining the independent auditors’ independence. The Audit Committee’s policy requires

that the Audit Committee approve any audit or permitted non-audit service proposed to be

performed by its independent auditors in advance of the performance of such service.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent auditors

and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of the Company's leadership team and

the written disclosures and letter of the independent auditors provided to the Audit Committee,

the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements for the

year ended December 31, 2024 be included in the Company’s Annual Report.

Committee” for information on the Audit Committee’s meetings in 2024.

PROPOSAL 3—ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE

COMPENSATION

Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires us to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to

approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs, often referred to as

“Say-on-Pay.”

At the 2024 Annual Meeting, approximately 98.5% of the votes cast supported our executive

compensation program. We believe that our executive compensation program continues to be

consistent with our core compensation principles and is structured to assure that those

principles are implemented. We encourage you to read the entire CD&A to learn more about our

executive compensation program and the impact that our financial performance has on the

short-term and long-term incentive compensation earned by our executives in 2024. As

described in the CD&A, our executive compensation philosophy and programs align executive

compensation decisions with our desired business direction, strategy and performance and to

attract and retain the key executives necessary to support the Company’s growth and success,

both operationally and strategically, and to motivate executives to achieve short- and long-term

goals with the ultimate objective of creating sustainable shareholder value.

The Board recommends that you vote for the compensation paid to our NEOs in 2024 and is

submitting to shareholders the following resolution for their consideration and approval at the

2025 Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that, the compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs in 2024, as disclosed in this

proxy statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of

the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and

related narrative disclosure, is hereby approved.”

Shareholders’ vote on this proposal is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the

Compensation Committee or the Board. However, we value the opinions of our shareholders

and, accordingly, the Board and the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of this

advisory vote in connection with future executive compensation decisions.

PROPOSAL 4—CHARTER AMENDMENT TO INCREASE

AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES

Summary

On February 24, 2025, our Board approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of

Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock from 500,000,000 shares to

1,000,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”) to increase each of the total number of authorized

shares of capital stock and the number of authorized shares of common stock by 500,000,000

shares. By approving this Proposal, you are voting to increase our authorized capital stock to a

total number of 1,007,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock and 1,000,000,000 authorized

shares of common stock. The following discussion is qualified by the text of the Amendment,

which is set forth in Appendix B attached to this proxy statement.

The additional authorized shares of common stock to be authorized by the Amendment would

have rights identical to our current issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Issuance of

the additional shares of common stock would not affect the rights of the holders of our issued

and outstanding shares of common stock, except for effects incidental to any increase in the

number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding, such as dilution of earnings per

share and voting rights.

If the Amendment is approved by shareholders at the annual meeting, then it will become

effective upon filing of a certificate of amendment setting forth the Amendment with the

Delaware Secretary of State, which filing is expected to occur promptly following the annual

meeting. The Board reserves the right, notwithstanding shareholder approval and without

further action by shareholders, to abandon and elect not to proceed with the Amendment if the

Board determines that the Amendment is no longer in our best interests and the best interests

of our shareholders.

Capitalization

Our existing Certificate of Incorporation authorizes up to 507,000,000 shares of capital stock, of

which 500,000,000 shares are designated common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and

7,000,000 shares are designated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which

4,000,000 are designated as Series A preferred stock. As of March 21, 2025, we had 4,000,000

shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding.

We estimate that on March 21, 2025, the following shares of common stock were issued,

outstanding or reserved for issuance:

Issued and outstanding: 276,220,967
Reserved for issuance under 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, 401K, and ESPP: 20,073,692
Reserved for issuance upon conversion of Series A preferred stock: 4,000,000
Shares of common stock remaining for future issuance: 199,705,341
% of authorized shares of common stock remaining for future issuance: 39.94 %

In consideration of the foregoing, our Board approved the Amendment in the form set forth in

Appendix B and has recommended that our shareholders do the same.

Reasons for the Amendment

We believe that the additional shares of authorized common stock are necessary to provide us

with appropriate flexibility to utilize equity for business and financial purposes that our Board

determines to be in our company’s best interests on a timely basis without the expense and

delay of a shareholders’ meeting. Our Board believes that the remaining authorized common

stock—which represents less than 40% of our total authorized common shares—is not sufficient

48

Table of Contents

Proposal 4 - Charter Amendment to Increase Authorized Common Shares

to permit us to respond to potential business opportunities or to pursue important objectives

designed to enhance shareholder value.

The additional authorized shares of common stock will provide us with flexibility to use our

common stock, without further shareholder approval (except to the extent such approval may

be required by law or by applicable NYSE listing standards) for any proper corporate purposes,

including, without limitation, raising capital through one or more future public offerings or

private placements of equity securities, expanding our business or acquiring assets through

future transactions, entering into strategic relationships, providing equity-based compensation

and/or incentives to team members, officer or directors, effecting stock dividends or for other

general corporate purposes.

As a general matter, the Company would be able to issue the additional authorized shares of

Common Stock in the discretion of its Board from time to time and without further action or

approval of the Company's shareholders, subject to and as limited by, rules or listing

requirements of the NYSE. The discretion of the Board, however, would be subject to any other

applicable rules and regulations in the case of any particular issuance or reservation for

issuance that might require the Company’s shareholders to approve such transaction.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we have no immediate plans, proposals,

understandings, agreements or commitments to issue the additional shares of Common Stock,

other than the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred

Stock. However, we have an effective shelf registration statement that would allow us to sell an

indeterminate amount of equity and debt securities, assuming we had a sufficient number of

authorized but unissued shares to issue in any such offering. Furthermore, we review and

evaluate potential capital raising activities, strategic transactions and other corporate actions on

an ongoing basis to determine if such actions would be in our best interest and the best interest

of our shareholders. The Board does not intend to issue any shares except on terms that it

considers to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Possible Effects of the Amendment

The increase in authorized shares of our common stock will not have any immediate effect on

the rights of existing shareholders. Because the holders of our common stock do not have any

preemptive rights, future issuance of shares of common stock or securities exercisable for or

convertible into shares of common stock could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share,

book value per share, voting rights of shareholders and could have a negative effect on the

price of our common stock.

We are not proposing the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock with

the intent of using the additional shares to prevent or discourage any actual or threatened

takeover of our company. Under certain circumstances, however, the additional authorized

shares could be used in a manner that has anti-takeover effect. For example, the additional

shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain

control of our company or could be issued to persons allied with the Board or management and

thereby have the effect of making it more difficult to remove directors or members of

management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to effect such

a removal. Accordingly, if the Amendment is approved by shareholders, the additional shares of

authorized common stock may render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer or

proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder or group of holders of a large block of

common stock, or the replacement or removal of one or more directors or members of

management.

The following other provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, in combination

with the additional authorized shares may also have an anti-takeover effect of preventing or

discouraging a change in control of our company: (i) ability of the Board to designate the terms

of and issue shares of preferred stock without further shareholder approval; (ii) prohibiting the

49

Table of Contents

Proposal 4 - Charter Amendment to Increase Authorized Common Shares

ability of shareholders to act by written consent without a meeting; and (iii) the absence of

cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Our shareholders should recognize that, as a result of the Amendment, they will own a lower

percentage of shares with respect to our total authorized shares than they presently own. Our

shareholders should also recognize that their ownership of outstanding shares will be diluted if

the shares of of Common Stock authorized by the Amendment are issued by us in the future.

Vote Required for this Proposal

Approval of this Proposal requires that at the meeting, (1) the votes cast by holders of our

outstanding capital stock exceed the votes cast by such shareholders against this Proposal and

(2) the votes cast for this Proposal by the holders of our outstanding common stock exceed the

votes cast by such shareholders against this Proposal.

Questions and Answers About Voting at the 2025 Annual Meeting and Related Matters

Q. — A. What if I am a registered holder and I return my proxy without making any selections? — If you are a registered holder and sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form without making any selections, your shares will be voted “FOR” all director nominees and “FOR” proposals 2 and 3. If other matters properly come before the 2025 Annual Meeting, Russell A. Becker, G. David Jackola and Louis B. Lambert will have the authority to vote on those matters for you at their discretion. As of the date of this proxy statement, we are not aware of any matters that will come before the 2025 Annual Meeting other than those disclosed in this proxy statement.
Q. What if I am a beneficial owner and I do not give the broker or other nominee voting instructions?
A. If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, such nominee is bound by the rules of the NYSE regarding whether or not it can exercise discretionary voting power for any particular proposal if the broker has not received voting instructions from you. Brokers have the authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain “routine” matters. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee who holds shares for another does not vote on a particular item because the nominee does not have discretionary voting authority for that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes are included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but are not considered a vote cast. The table below sets forth, for each proposal described in this proxy statement, whether a broker can exercise discretion and vote your shares absent your instructions and if not, the impact of such broker non-vote on the approval of the applicable proposal
Proposal Can Brokers Vote Absent Instructions? Impact of Broker Non-Vote
1. To elect nine directors for a one-year term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders No None
2. To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year. Yes Not Applicable
3. To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs No None
4. To approve the amendment of our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. No None

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)

(Amounts in millions)

(Unaudited)

The Company supplements the reporting of its consolidated financial information with certain

financial measures including adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined

as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of

certain non-cash and other specifically identified items, and including corporate costs and

eliminations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net

revenues. The Company believes these measures provide meaningful information and help

investors understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future

performance. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally

and as compared with its peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be

indicative of the Company’s core operating results.

For the Year Ended December 31, — 2024 2023 2022
Net income (as reported) $ 250 $ 153 $ 73
Adjustments to reconcile net income to EBITDA:
Interest expense, net 146 145 125

EBITDA $ 778 $ 680 $ 522

2024 Short-Term Incentive Reconciliation — Adjusted EBITDA $ 893
Acquisition & Divestiture Adjustment (j) $ (24)
Constant Currency Adjustment (k) 3
2024 Incentive Adjusted EBITDA $ 872

Notes:

(a) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of the expense attributable to deferred consideration to prior owners of

acquired businesses not expected to continue or recur.

(b) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of non-service pension expense (benefit), which consists of interest cost,

expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains/losses of the pension programs assumed as part

of the Chubb acquisition.

(c) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of costs related to the fair value step-up of acquired inventory.

(d) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of expenses associated with the integration and reorganization of newly

acquired businesses and non-operational costs related to business process transformation, including system and

process development costs and implementation of processes and compliance programs related to the Sarbanes-

Oxley Act of 2002.

(e) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of transaction costs related to potential and completed acquisitions and

expenses associated with the transition of newly acquired businesses from prior ownership into APi Group.

(f) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt resulting from early repayments and

repurchases of long-term debt.

(g) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of expenses associated with restructuring programs and related costs.

(h) Adjustment includes various miscellaneous non-recurring items, such as eliminations of changes in fair value

estimates to acquired liabilities and impairment recorded on assets held-for-sale.

(i) Adjustment to exclude the impacts of fluctuations in foreign currency translation over the three-year performance

period. When the Compensation Committee established the 2022-2024 PSU program design it was decided that for

purposes of determining PSU results the adjusted EBITDA should be calculated at constant currency to show

financial results without giving effect to currency fluctuations. This constant currency adjustment was calculated

utilizing year-end results translated into US dollars at the 2022 management exchange rates.

(j) Adjustment for significant acquisitions and divestitures during the year, which was pre-approved as an adjustment

by the Compensation Committee.

(k) Adjustment to exclude the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency translation for the year. When the

Compensation Committee established the 2024 STI program design it was decided that for purposes of determining

STI results the adjusted EBITDA should be calculated at constant currency to show financial results without giving

effect to currency fluctuations. This constant currency adjustment was calculated utilizing year-end results

translated into US dollars at the 2024 management exchange rates.
