On November 6, 2024, BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (“BlueLinx” or the “Company”) and Tricia A. Kinney, the Company’s General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Ms. Kinney will end her employment with the Company effective December 28, 2024 (the “Separation Date”), which is the last day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year. Under the Agreement, Ms. Kinney will continue to serve in the role of General Counsel and Corporate Secretary and cooperate with the Company in the smooth transition of her duties through the Separation Date.

Under the Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Ms. Kinney (i) a lump sum payment of $410,025, which is equivalent to her current annual base salary, and (ii) any bonus that would be payable to her under the terms of the Company’s Short-Term Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2024. Also pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to ensure that 226 time-based restricted stock units granted to Ms. Kinney in fiscal year 2023 and 350 time-based restricted stock units granted to Ms. Kinney in 2024 will vest on the Separation Date. The payments and benefits due to Ms. Kinney pursuant to the Agreement will be made in lieu of any payments, severance or other benefits described in the BlueLinx Holdings Inc. Executive Severance Plan.

Payments and benefits under the Agreement are conditioned upon the execution and non-revocation of a customary general release of claims. In addition, under the Agreement, Ms. Kinney confirmed the continued effectiveness of the existing restrictive covenants applicable to her under her existing restrictive covenant agreements with the Company.
