Highlights

Fiscal 2024 was a year of strategic execution, driven by the

dedication of our team members and our unwavering

commitment to serving customers at the highest level.

Despite what continued to be a challenging environment for

a number of the industries we serve, we remained focused

on operational efficiencies, well-positioning us to capitalize

when our end markets recover. This disciplined approach

enabled us to solidify our presence in the powersports

industry with the acquisition of Sportech in January, further

strengthening and diversifying our portfolio. Additionally, we

believe our expansion into the aftermarket space through

the acquisition of RecPro presents significant future

opportunities for growth.

In addition to our operational advancements, we took

decisive steps to enhance our financial foundation. Through

an opportunistic debt refinancing in the third quarter, we

improved our liquidity position, reduced the cost of our fixed-

rate debt, and extended our maturity profile, providing

greater financial flexibility. We believe our end markets are

at or near cyclical lows and remain confident in their long-

term growth potential. Looking ahead, we will continue to

prioritize exceptional customer service while maintaining a

flexible cost structure to adapt to evolving market

conditions. With a strong foundation in place and an

energized team, we believe that we are poised for future

success as market dynamics improve.

The charts illustrate our performance related to net sales,

operating margin and operating income, operating cash

flows, and diluted earnings per share since 2020.

Executive Compensation

Highlights

Aligning Pay to Differentiated Performance

Our leaders understand and are motivated to meet key metrics that drive growth, profitability and ultimately shareholder

value in both the short and long term. Our Compensation Committee recommends compensation decisions to the Board

which support this philosophy. The plan design is brought to life through understanding each compensation element and the

impact of the individual’s and the team’s performance as outlined below.

Each compensation component, relative to peer group and general industry data, supports our philosophy of rewarding

differentiated performance by emphasizing each executive’s variable pay elements.

• Base Salary, though lower than peer base compensation, is designed in alignment with the philosophy of focusing on

performance-dependent variable pay.

• The annual Short-Term Cash Compensation Plan provides for enhanced payouts for performance above plan up to a

maximum of 200% of target compensation at 115% of plan and incorporates a threshold payout of 50% of target

compensation at 75% of plan.

• The annual Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan is designed to drive the executive’s focus on long-term profitability

through both organic and inorganic growth over a three-year award performance period. This equity plan is also

designed to motivate leadership to perform above plan with a maximum payout of 200% of target compensation at

120% of plan and a threshold payout of 50% of target compensation at 80% of plan.

Compensation Element Percentile Positioning vs. Peer Proxy and General Industry Data
Base Salary 25th - 50th
Short-Term Incentive 50th - 75th
Total Target Cash 50th - 75th
Long-Term Incentive 25th - 50th
Total Target Compensation 50th - 75th

Our focus on variable pay to

motivate performance, a key

component of our compensation

plan over the past decade, has

proven successful in aligning

our team’s compensation to

shareholder returns.

Key Compensation Actions Taken in Fiscal 2024

• Base compensation for our Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”), with the exception of Matthew S. Filer and Hugo E.

Gonzalez, was unchanged from 2023 to align with end-market conditions and expected financial performance in 2024

and size-scoping of our peer group and general industry data.

• Our Compensation Committee continued to utilize external consultant, Willis Towers Watson, for data and consultation

as requested by the Compensation Committee.

For the compensation of our NEOs, please refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Corporate Governance

Highlights

In addition to executive compensation practices that

strongly link pay and performance, the Board believes that

fundamental corporate governance is critical to ensuring the

Company is managed for the long-term benefit of our

shareholders. Patrick’s Code of Ethics for Directors,

Officers and Employees and its Corporate Governance

Guidelines provide the guidepost so that we “do business

right.” For more information about our governance

programs and Board of Directors, see Proposal 1.

Board Risk Oversight

The Board has delegated its risk oversight responsibilities

to the Audit Committee, as described under the heading

“Audit Committee”. In accordance with the Audit

Committee’s Charter, each of our senior financial and

accounting officers reports directly to the Audit Committee

regarding material risks to our business, among other

matters, and the Audit Committee meets in executive

sessions with the senior financial and accounting officers,

and with representatives of our independent registered

public accounting firm. The Audit Committee Chairman

reports to the Board regarding material risks as deemed

appropriate. In addition, the Compensation Committee

annually considers the extent to which the risks arising from

the compensation policies and practices of the Company

are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on

the Company as a whole.

Director Independence

Seven of the nine members of the Board (as of the date of

this Proxy) have been designated by the Board as

independent directors. The Board determines whether a

director is independent by following the guidelines of the

NASDAQ Stock Market and the SEC rules and regulations.

The Board has determined that the independent directors in

2024 were Joseph M. Cerulli, John A. Forbes, Michael A.

Kitson, Pamela R. Klyn, Derrick B. Mayes, Denis G. Suggs

and M. Scott Welch. The Board has also determined that

each of the director nominees, Blake W. Augsburger and

Natalie A. Brown, will also be an independent director if

elected to serve.

Consideration of Director Candidates

• The Corporate Governance and Nominations

Committee will consider Board nominees

recommended by shareholders, which can be sent to

the address provided below.

• To nominate a candidate for director, under our Bylaws,

a shareholder must provide to the Secretary of the

Company:

• Timely notice of the nomination (not less than 20

days or more than 50 days prior to the next Annual

Meeting of Shareholders)

• Written notice of nominee

• Nominee’s name, age, business address,

residential address, principal occupation, and

number of shares of the Company owned

• Nominee’s consent to be elected and serve

• Documents required under federal securities laws

• Candidate’s other board memberships (if any)

Communication With Our Shareholders and

Ensuring Document Accessibility

You can find our Board Committee charters, Board Diversity

Policy, Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, Corporate

Governance Guidelines, and other governance-related

documents on our website at www.patrickind.com, under

“Investors-Governance” or by writing to:

Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominations

Committee.

Insider Trading Policies and Procedures

In 2024, we amended and restated Patrick's Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale and other disposition of our

securities by directors, officers, and employees that is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and

regulations, and applicable listing standards, as well as procedures designed to further the foregoing purposes. In addition, it

is our intent to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to the Company trading in its own securities.

Board Leadership Structure and Accountability

The Board’s leadership structure is designed to promote Board effectiveness and to appropriately allocate authority and

responsibility between the Board and management.

In May 2024, the Board determined that Andy L. Nemeth, our Chief Executive Officer, would be best positioned to serve as

Board Chair. The independent directors appointed John A. Forbes as Lead Independent Director. Our Lead Independent

Director provides a strong counterbalance to the Chair, including by facilitating independent oversight of management,

promoting open dialogue among the independent directors during and in between Board meetings, leading executive

sessions at each regular Board meeting without the presence of the CEO, and focusing on the Board’s priorities and

processes. The Board believes the present structure provides the Company and the Board with strong leadership,

appropriate independent oversight of management, continuity of experience that complements ongoing Board refreshment,

and the ability to clearly communicate the Company’s business and strategy to shareholders, customers, employees and the

public in a single voice.

Factors the Board considers in reviewing its leadership structure include:

• The respective responsibilities for the positions of Chair and Lead Independent Director

• The individuals currently in the roles of Chair and Lead Independent Director and their record of strong leadership

and performance in their roles

• The current composition of the Board

• The policies and practices in place to provide independent Board oversight of management (including Board

oversight of CEO performance and compensation, regular executive sessions of the independent directors, Board

input into agendas and meeting materials, and Board self-assessment)

• The Company’s circumstances, including its financial performance

• The views of the Company’s shareholders

• Trends in corporate governance, including practices at other public companies

• Such other factors as the Board determines

With the exception of the CEO, no director is an employee of the Company.

• Directors are elected for a one-year term.

• The Board had nine meetings in 2024.

• Each director attended at least 75% of the Board meetings and meetings of Board Committees on which they

served in 2024.

• All directors attended the most recent Annual Meeting of Shareholders which was held on May 16, 2024.

• We expect all Board members to attend the annual meetings, but from time to time other commitments may

prevent directors from attending each meeting.

Director Qualifications and Diversity

The Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee follows a diversity policy that requires the Committee to consider

diversity criteria – including gender, age, ethnicity and geographic background – when identifying candidates for

membership. The Committee will consider a candidate’s qualifications and background, including responsibility for operating

a public company or a division of a public company, international business experience, a candidate’s technical background

and financial expertise or professional qualification, diversity of background and personal experience, and any other public

company boards on which the candidate is a director. Board appointment will be based on merit and candidates will be

considered against objective criteria, having due regard for the benefits of diversity on the Board. The Committee will also

consider whether the candidate would be “independent” for purposes of the NASDAQ Stock Market and the SEC rules and

regulations. The Committee accepts recommendations for nominees from several sources, included among them non-

management directors and the CEO, and may, from time-to-time, engage the services of a professional search firm to

identify and/or evaluate potential nominees.

Proposal 1

Election Of Directors

There are nine nominees for election to the Board,

seven of which are current members of our Board.

Each of the following nominees was elected to his or

her present term of office at the Annual Meeting of

Shareholders held on May 16, 2024, with the

exception of Blake W. Augsburger and Natalie A.

Brown, who were approved on February 25, 2025 as

nominees for election to the Board at the 2025 Annual

Meeting. Each of the nominees at the 2025 Annual

Meeting will be elected to hold office until the 2026

Annual Meeting or until their successors are duly

elected and qualified.

It is intended that the proxies will be voted for the

nominees listed below, unless otherwise indicated on

the proxy form. It is expected that these nominees will

serve, but, if for any unforeseen cause any such

nominee should decline or be unable to serve as a

director, the proxies will be voted to fill any vacancy so

arising in accordance with the discretionary authority of

the persons named in the proxies. The Board does not

anticipate that any nominee will be unable or unwilling

to serve.

The Board of Directors

recommends shareholders

the nominees to the Board

Ratification of the Appointment of Independent

Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP, ("Deloitte")

as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year

ending December 31, 2025 . Deloitte has been the Company's

independent registered public accounting firm since June 2019. The

Board and the Audit Committee recommend that shareholders ratify the

appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting

firm for our fiscal year 2025 . Although we are not required to do so, we

believe that it is appropriate to request that shareholders ratify this

appointment. If shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit

Committee will investigate the reasons for the shareholders' rejection and

reconsider the appointment. Representatives of Deloitte will be present at

the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they

desire to do so, and will be available to respond to any shareholder

questions that may arise.

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies

received by them "FOR" approval of the ratification of the appointment of

Deloitte. The ratification of the appointment will be approved by our

shareholders if, at the Annual Meeting, a quorum is present and the vote

of a majority of the votes cast are voted in favor of the proposal.

Proposal 2

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote

FOR approval of the ratification of the appointment of

Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public

accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31,

2025 .

accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31,

2025 .

2024 2023
Audit Fees (1) $3,345,300 $2,918,600
Tax Fees (2) - 507,600
Other Fees (3) 1,900 1,900
Total Fees $3,347,200 $3,428,100

(1) Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements, the reviews of the financial

statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports, and other services normally provided by the independent auditor in connection with statutory and

regulatory filings or engagements.

(2) Tax fees include fees related to tax compliance and consulting services in 2023.

(3) Other fees consist of an annual subscription to Deloitte's online accounting research tool.

The Audit Committee has advised us that it has determined

that the non-audit services rendered by our independent

auditors during our most recent fiscal year are compatible

with maintaining the independence of such auditors.

The Audit Committee has adopted a Preapproval Policy for

Audit and Non-Audit Services pursuant to which it

preapproves all audit and non-audit services provided by

the independent auditors prior to each particular

engagement.

The Audit Committee has delegated authority to its

Chairman to approve certain proposed services other than

the annual audit, tax and quarterly review services, and the

Chairman must then report any approvals to the balance of

the Committee at the next scheduled meeting.

Audit Committee Report

The following report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and

shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by

reference the Proxy Statement into any filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933 or the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate such

information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee, which are set forth

in the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Board, include

providing oversight of our financial reporting process through

periodic meetings with our independent auditors, principal

accounting officer and management to review accounting,

auditing, internal controls and financial reporting matters.

The Audit Committee has met and held discussions with

management and Deloitte with respect to the 2024 audited

financial statements. The Audit Committee reviewed and

discussed with Deloitte the consolidated financial statements,

and Deloitte’s evaluation of the Company’s internal controls

over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee also discussed with Deloitte the matters

required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC,

and other professional standards and regulatory requirements

currently in effect.

We have received from Deloitte a letter providing the

disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding

Deloitte’s communications with the Audit Committee

concerning independence with respect to any relationships

between us and Deloitte that in their professional judgment

may reasonably be thought to bear on independence. Deloitte

has discussed its independence with us, and has confirmed in

such letter that, in its professional judgment, it is independent

from us within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The

Audit Committee concluded that non-audit services provided by

Deloitte during the year ended December 31, 2024 were

compatible with Deloitte’s independence.

Based on the review and discussions described above, with

respect to our audited financial statements included in our

2024 Annual Report to Shareholders, we have recommended

to the Board of Directors that such financial statements be

included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the

SEC.

As specified in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the duty of

the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine

that our financial statements are complete and accurate and in

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

That is the responsibility of management and our independent

auditors. In giving our recommendation to the Board of

Directors, we have relied on (i) management’s representation

that such financial statements have been prepared with

integrity and objectivity and in conformity with generally

accepted accounting principles and (ii) the report of our

independent auditors with respect to such financial statements.

This report was adopted by the Audit Committee on February

20, 2025.

Proposal 3

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, shareholders have the

opportunity to vote, on an advisory and non-

binding basis, on the compensation of our

Named Executive Officers as set forth in this

Proxy Statement. This is commonly referred to

as the "Say on Pay" vote. At the May 2019

annual meeting, a majority of shareholders

determined that the Say on Pay vote would be

held annually, commonly referred to as "Say on

Frequency" vote. As required under SEC rules,

an advisory vote of the frequency of the

advisory vote on executive compensation will

be held at the 2025 annual shareholders

meeting.

Our executive compensation policy is designed

to enable the Company to attract, motivate and

retain highly-qualified senior executives by

providing a competitive compensation

opportunity based on performance. Our intent is

to provide fair and equitable compensation in a

way that rewards executives for achieving

specified financial and non-financial

performance goals.

For the reasons stated, the Board of Directors recommends

a vote FOR the following non-binding resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's

Named Executive Officers for fiscal year 2024 , as disclosed

in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation

disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation

Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and related

information and discussion, is hereby APPROVED.

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, shareholders have the

opportunity to vote, on an advisory and non-

binding basis, on the compensation of our

Named Executive Officers as set forth in this

Proxy Statement. This is commonly referred to

as the "Say on Pay" vote. At the May 2019

annual meeting, a majority of shareholders

determined that the Say on Pay vote would be

held annually, commonly referred to as "Say on

Frequency" vote. As required under SEC rules,

advisory vote on executive compensation will

be held at the 2025 annual shareholders

meeting.

retain highly-qualified senior executives by

providing a competitive compensation

opportunity based on performance. Our intent is

to provide fair and equitable compensation in a

way that rewards executives for achieving

specified financial and non-financial

performance goals.

Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation

of Our Named Executive Officers

Our performance-related awards are structured to

link a substantial portion of our executives' total

potential compensation to the Company's

performance on both a short-term and long-term

basis, to recognize individual contributions, and to

align executive and shareholder interests.

We are requesting shareholder approval for the

compensation of our named executive officers for

fiscal 2024 as disclosed in this Proxy Statement,

including the disclosures under "Executive

Compensation— Compensation Discussion and

Analysis," compensation tables and the related

information and discussion.

Please note that the vote is advisory and

therefore not binding on the Company, the

Compensation Committee or the Board. However,

we value the opinions of our shareholders, and

we will carefully consider the outcome of the

advisory vote on executive compensation when

making future compensation decisions.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast

is required for advisory approval of the foregoing

non-binding resolution. See "Voting Q&A".

Proposal 4

Approval of an Increase in the

Authorized Amount of Common Stock

General Background:

Our Articles of Incorporation currently authorize

40,000,000 shares of common stock. As of March 21,

2025, there were 33,555,159 shares of common stock

issued and outstanding. There are in the aggregate

687,829 shares of common stock reserved for issuance

under existing stock options and stock appreciation

rights (“SARs”), which are issuable upon the exercise of

outstanding options and SARS granted under our

existing stock option and SARs plans. In addition, there

are an aggregate of 1,314,866 net shares available for

future awards under the Patrick Industries, Inc. 2009

Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). There are

4,442,146 authorized and unissued shares of common

stock that are not reserved for any specific use and are

available for future issuance.

On February 25, 2025, our Board unanimously adopted

a resolution, subject to shareholder approval, to

increase the authorized number of shares of common

stock from 40,000,000 to 60,000,000. If the

shareholders approve this Proposal 4, an increase in

our authorized shares of common stock will be effected

through the filing of Articles of Amendment to our

Articles of Incorporation with the office of the Indiana

Secretary of State, amending Article V of our Articles of

Incorporation to authorize 60,000,000 shares of

common stock and total shares of capital stock of

61,000,000, as soon as practicable following the Annual

Meeting, to be effective upon such filing. Upon

approval of the proposed amendment to our Articles of

Incorporation, Article V would read as follows:

Reasons for Increasing the Authorized

Number of Shares of Common Stock

The additional shares of common stock authorized upon

adoption of this proposal will be available for issuance from

time to time as determined by the Board, without further

action by the shareholders and without first offering the

shares to the shareholders. The proposed increase will

help ensure, for the foreseeable future, that a sufficient

number of shares will be available, if needed, for issuance

in connection with possible future actions approved by the

Board, including stock splits, stock dividends, acquisitions,

financings, rights offerings, employee benefit programs or

other corporate purposes, or upon exercise of stock

options, stock appreciation rights or warrants. The Board

believes that the availability of the additional shares for

such purposes without delay or the necessity for a

shareholder vote (except as may be required by applicable

law or regulatory authorities or by the rules of any stock

exchange on which the Company’s securities may be

listed) will be beneficial to the Company by providing it with

the flexibility required to respond to future business

opportunities and needs as they arise. The availability of

additional shares of authorized common stock will enable

us to act promptly when the Board determines that the

issuance of additional shares of common stock is

advisable. Assuming shareholder approval of this

proposal, there will be approximately 24,442,100

authorized and unissued shares of common stock that are

not reserved for any specific use and are available for

future issuance.

Article V

The total number of shares which the

Corporation shal l have authority to issue is

sixty-one million (61,000,000), consisting of

one million (1,000,000) shares of Preferred

Stock, without par value, and sixty million

(60,000,000) shares of Common Stock,

without par value.

The Company’s Articles authorize 1,000,000

shares of preferred stock. There are

currently no shares of preferred stock

outstanding and Proposal 4 does not

propose to increase the number of

authorized shares of preferred stock.

Anti-Takeover Effect

An increase in the number of shares of common stock that

the Company is authorized to issue could have a potential

anti-takeover effect with respect to the Company, although

our management has not proposed the increase for that

reason and does not presently anticipate using the

additional authorized shares for such a purpose. The

potential anti-takeover effect of the proposed amendment

arises because the Company could issue additional shares

of common stock, up to the total authorized number,

thereby diluting the shareholdings and related voting rights

of then existing shareholders in proportion to the number of

any additional shares issued.

19

Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

Proposal 5

Advisory Vote on Frequency of Vote on Executive Compensation

As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, at least once every six years the Company is required to request its

shareholders to recommend, in a non-binding advisory resolution, whether the advisory shareholder vote on

executive compensation should occur every one, two or three years.

In formulating its recommendation, our Board believes that a frequency of an annual advisory vote on

executive compensation is the optimal interval for conducting and responding to a “Say-on-Pay” vote. One

of the core principles of our executive compensation program is to align management’s interests with the

interests of our shareholders to support long-term value creation. We encourage our officers to focus on

long-term performance, and recommend an annual vote, thereby allowing the yearly evaluation of our

executive compensation programs by shareholders and in alignment with our long-term performance.

The frequency vote option of every one year, every two years or every three years that receives the highest

number of votes cast by shareholders will be the prevailing preferred frequency for the advisory vote on

executive compensation as selected by the shareholders. However, as this is an advisory vote, the result

will not be binding on our Board or the Company. Our Compensation Committee will consider the outcome

of the vote when determining how often the Company should submit an advisory vote to shareholders to

approve the compensation of its named executive officers included in the Proxy Statement. Proxies

submitted without direction pursuant to this solicitation will be voted for the option of every “ONE YEAR”.

Accordingly, the following resolution is submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual

Meeting of Shareholders:

“RESOLVED, that the highest number of votes cast by the shareholders of Patrick

Industries, Inc. for the option set forth below shall be the preferred frequency

selected by shareholders with which the Company is to hold an advisory vote on

the approval of the compensation of its named executive officers included in the

Proxy Statement: (i) every one year; (ii) or every two years; (iii) or every three

years.”

Recommendation of the Board:

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote for the option of “ONE YEAR” as the frequency

with which shareholders are provided an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named

executive officers included in the Proxy Statement.

The Board will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of

advisory votes on executive compensation. However, because this vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board may decide

that it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to hold an advisory vote more or less frequently than the

option selected by shareholders.

Compensation Discussion

and Analysis

We believe our compensation plan, as it relates to the NEOs and other executives, should be aligned with the Company’s

short-term and long-term organizational strategic agendas and its operating performance and cash flows, and foster

appropriate management ownership in the Company. Our philosophy and objectives are to provide a comprehensive,

market-competitive compensation program designed to attract, retain and motivate the best qualified talent from inside and

outside the industry and to align the interests of our senior management team with the interests of our shareholders. Messrs.

Nemeth, Rodino, Ellis, Roeder, Filer, and Gonzalez comprise our NEOs for fiscal 2024 , as such term is used under SEC

rules.

The Company utilizes a “pay-for-differentiated performance” compensation philosophy that establishes base salaries,

generally lower relative to its peer group companies, coupled with performance-based short-term and long-term incentives

that are generally high relative to its peer group companies. Our performance management system links compensation to

achieving certain objectives based on our short-term and long-term goals. To develop a comprehensive performance and

rewards compensation program for our NEOs and other executives (see below "Plan Components" discussion), the

Compensation Committee conducts, among other analytical measures, independent benchmarking studies in conjunction

with utilizing a third-party compensation consultant.

2024 Executive Compensation Plan: Pay-at-Risk

The 2024 Executive Compensation Plan for the NEOs was designed to compensate and reward the plan participants with

“pay-for-differentiated performance.” The 2024 Executive Compensation Plan is designed for each component to

incrementally reward the NEOs for performance and the achievement of established key financial metric s. This plan design

places a high degree of emphasis and reward on variable compensation or “pay-at-risk.” Each element of compensation is

outlined below to demonstrate the philosophy and architecture of the plan's design.

Base Pay (Salary)

To implement our variable pay-at-risk philosophy in 2024 , we intentionally set the NEOs’ base salaries lower than market-

based salaries. The base pay in 2024 for Messrs. Nemeth, Rodino and Ellis was unchanged from their 2023 base pay.

Messrs. Roeder and Gonzalez were not NEOs in 2023 . Mr. Filer's base pay increased in 2024 compared to his 2023 base

pay. Base compensation in 2024 was set to align with the Company's end-market conditions and expected financial

performance in 2024 an d was in alignment with the Company’s and NEO’s scope and to assure a competitive position with

the market for total target direct compensation.

The CEO and each of the other NEOs’ base compensation for 2024 was aligned to the 25th to 50th percentile range of their

respective established peer group and general industry data.

Executive 2024 Base Pay Fixed Or Variable Pay
CEO $850,000 Fixed Pay
All Other NEOs Combined (1) 2,445,000 Fixed Pay

(1) All other NEOs comprised of Messrs. Rodino , Ellis , Roeder , Filer and Gonzalez .

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation (Short-Term Incentive Plan)

The 2024 Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) was designed

to reward the CEO and each of the other NEOs for

differentiated incremental performance against the net

income of the plan year (net of 2024 acquisitions) and

achievement of individual performance goals for each NEO.

The STIP is designed to be 100% variable, performance

dependent, pay-at-risk. Assuming target performance, the

net income metric performance accounts for 70% of the

performance payout and each NEO’s personal strategic

objectives account for 30% of the performance payout,

allowing for differentiation of each NEO’s individual

contributions to the performance of the Company. STIP

compensation may range from 0% to 200% of the

established target.

If the NEO's individual performance rating was below the

threshold performance rating, such NEO would not be

eligible for a STIP award regardless of the Company's

performance. If the Company’s net income (net of

acquisitions) performance was below the established

Company performance threshold, no NEO would be eligible

for a STIP award regardless of the NEO's individual

performance.

The STIP threshold, target, stretch and maximum

performance levels for both net income (net of 2024

acquisitions) and personal performance and related

payouts, are noted below for reference.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Compensation (Long-Term Incentive Plan)

The 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) was designed to reward the NEOs for sustained, long-term performance while

providing opportunity for incremental reward for differentiated performance against the Company’s three-year cumulative

earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) plan. The target value of the LTIP is awarded in

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"). The design of the LTIP creates 80% of the target value of the award in the form of

performance-dependent variable pay and 20% in the form of retentive, time-based fixed compensation with three-year cliff

vesting.

The LTIP threshold, target, stretch and maximum performance levels for three-year cumulative EBITDA and related payouts

are noted below for reference.

The LTIP target amount for the CEO and each of the other NEOs is designed to align to the 25th to 50th percentile range of

peer and general industry pay percentiles. The table below outlines the target LTIP amount for the CEO and all the other

NEOs combined.

Participants and Roles

Participants Responsibilities
Compensation Committee • Reviews and approves, with input from our management team and external advisors, the Company’s executive compensation programs, including the NEOs. • Provides annual and ongoing review, discussion, analysis and recommendations regarding the evaluation of the execution of the performance plan for the NEOs against defined business objectives.
Independent Committee Consultant • Provides published survey data, peer group proxy data and analysis and consultation to the Compensation Committee on executive and non-employee director compensation. • Establishes and maintains an independent perspective to avoid any conflicts of interests while working directly for the Compensation Committee unless the Committee has preapproved any work to be conducted with management for review by the Committee and approval by the Board.
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer • When requested by the Compensation Committee, provide executive compensation plan input related to the performance management structure and provide support on compensation program design and implementation, as well as compliance and disclosure requirements. • The CEO evaluates the performance plans of the Presidents of our end market pillars, COO, CFO and other executives in accordance with the Board approved plan.

Plan Factors

There are several key factors the Compensation Committee considers when recommending plan-year executive

compensation decisions:

• NEO's role, position scope, experience, skill set and performance history;

• External market for comparable roles;

• Current and expected business climate; and

• Company’s financial position and operating results.

Plan Components

The Compensation Committee utilizes its own judgment in approving the components of compensation and plan targets for

the NEOs. The Compensation Committee further reviews and approves compensation including base compensation,

targets, thresholds, and maximums for short-term and long-term incentive compensation. In addition, the Compensation

Committee utilizes a third-party compensation consulting firm, Willis Towers Watson, to provide relevant compensation

benchmarks for the NEOs and other key leadership roles in the Company as well as plan design review and input. The CEO

evaluates the performance plans of the Presidents of our end market pillars, COO, CFO and other executive officers with the

Compensation Committee. The CEO develops his individual objectives for the plan year and evaluates his performance

against those objectives. Final determinations regarding our CEO’s performance and compensation are made during an

executive session of the Compensation Committee and are reported to and reviewed by the Board in an independent

directors’ session. Holders of approximately 95% of the shares voted in the most recent shareholder advisory vote at our

Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 16, 2024 voted to approve the compensation of the NEOs for fiscal year 2023 .

The Compensation Committee takes the shareholder advisory voting results, along with any other shareholder input on

executive compensation, into consideration as one of several decision points in its executive compensation decision making

process for each plan year.

Benchmark Sources and Fiscal Year 2024

Peer Group

An important factor in establishing the 2024 Executive

Compensation Plan is the external market for comparable

roles. The Compensation Committee utilizes a benchmark

peer group for purposes of market comparison to our executive

compensation packages based on our general guidelines and

as described under "Plan Components." Based on the data

utilized from an index of General Industry companies provided

by the Central Data Base Survey of Willis Towers Watson, our

independent Compensation Committee consultant, there were

no changes made by the Compensation Committee to the

benchmark peer group for the period ended December 31,

2024 (as compared to the 2023 peer group) other than the

deletion of Masonite International Corporation due to the

acquisition of the company. We believe the following

companies listed represent an effective comparator group of

similar size with similar scope of revenue and market

capitalization.

• American Woodmark Corporation

• Apogee Enterprises, Inc.

• Brunswick Corporation

• Cavco Industries, Inc.

• EnPro Industries, Inc.

• Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc.

• LCI Industries, Inc.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the base salaries of the NEOs each year, as well as at the time of

promotion, change in job responsibilities or any other change deemed to be a material event. Base salaries are set during

the first quarter of each year. The Compensation Committee sets the salary for the CEO and approves the base salaries for

the other NEOs and other executive officers based on recommendations by the CEO.

When determining base salary adjustments for its NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers a combination of (i) peer

group data, (ii) market data, including industry norms and benchmarking data from companies of similar size and scope and

(iii) outstanding Company and individual performance. In general, the Compensation Committee targets the 25th to 50th

percentile of the Company’s peer group in determining base salaries.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards

The short-term incentive portion of the 2024 Executive Compensation Plan or "STIP" consists of annual non-equity incentive

plan awards, which are reviewed and approved each year and are based on the Company’s financial results and the

individual’s performance against defined objectives. Several key components were considered in the development of the

2024 STIP to align the 2024 STIP with shareholder interest by measuring the Company’s financial performance and the

individual’s performance in support of the Company’s short- and long-term strategies. The components are noted on page

23.

The STIP metric components for 2024 are as follows:

2024 STIP Award Component ($ in millions) Threshold Performance Target Performance Maximum Performance
Company Performance (Net Income) (1) $115.1 $153.4 $176.5
Individual Rating 2.5 3.5 5.0
Payout as a Percentage of Target Award 50% 100% 200%

(1) All net income targets are net of the contributions of 2024 acquisitions and certain one-time and non-recurring charges and credits.

The Company achieved adjusted fiscal 2024 net income of $150.2 million (net of 2024 acquisitions and non-recurring

charges and credits) which equated to 98% of the target Company performance. When combined with the individual

performance rating for each NEO, the actual STIP award payouts for 2024 were as follows:

Name / Benefit 2024 Base Salary (1) Target Award As % Of Base Salary (2) Target STIP Award Actual Award Amount As % Of Target Award Actual 2024 STIP Award Payout
Andy L. Nemeth $850,000 212% $1,800,000 105% $1,884,600
Jeffrey M. Rodino 575,000 174% 1,000,000 106% 1,063,500
Kip B. Ellis 525,000 171% 900,000 127% 1,144,350
Andrew C. Roeder (3) 500,000 125% 625,000 93% 579,375
Matthew S. Filer (4) 375,000 80% 300,000 112% 336,600
Hugo E. Gonzalez 470,000 187% 880,000 105% 921,360

(1) The 2024 Base Salary for each of the NEOs reflects the Base Salary in effect as of January 2024 with the exception of Mr. Roeder who joined the Company

in March 2024.

(2) The target award as a percentage of base salary for the NEOs, with the exception of Mr. Roeder, was determined by the Compensation Committee and

applied to the base salary in effect as of January 2024. The target award as a percentage of base salary was established for each NEO in 2024 in alignment

with the Company’s “pay-for-differentiated-performance” philosophy, market competitive positions for earned payout, and further enhancement of the pay-at-

risk for each NEO.

(3) Mr. Roeder's target STIP award was prorated to reflect the period from his hire date of March 5, 2024 through December 31, 2024. His full year 2024 target

STIP award was $750,000.

(4) Mr. Filer’s actual 2024 STIP award payout excluded an additional $300,000 one-time bonus payment related to his service as Interim CFO from January 1,

2024 through March 4, 2024 and to his appointment as Chief Accounting Officer in May 2024.

While these targets were used in fiscal year 2024 , the Compensation Committee reserves the right to modify, cancel,

change or reallocate any components of this calculation or criteria at any time.

Each NEO’s individual performance rating takes into account four strategic performance objectives in assessing the

personal performance of the NEOs named in the Summary Compensation Table for 2024 . The four strategic objectives are

specific for each NEO and are linked to the Company’s strategic plan and that year’s organizational strategic agenda and

include, among others:

  1. Improving the revenue and profitability of business units under the leadership and control of the NEO;

  2. The introduction of new product lines and product line extensions to achieve target revenue growth levels and market

share;

  1. The ongoing evaluation of strategic opportunities related to our capital allocation strategy and the execution of those

opportunities, as appropriate; and

  1. Objectives linked to developing and managing talent consistent with the Company’s values and enhancing and

developing the leadership capabilities of the Company’s future leaders.

29

Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

The NEOs, other than Mr. Nemeth, initially developed their own individual objectives for the plan year which were then

reviewed and approved by the CEO. For the 2024 STIP award, Mr. Filer initially developed his own objectives for the plan

year, based on his then-current role of Interim CFO. His objectives were reviewed and approved by Mr. Nemeth. Mr. Nemeth

developed his objectives as CEO for the plan year which were reviewed and approved by the Board.

In assessing the NEOs’ individual performance, the Compensation Committee is provided with detailed quantitative and

qualitative documentation substantiating individual performance against each individual objective.

The Compensation Committee looks to the CEO’s performance assessments of the other NEOs and his recommendations

regarding a performance rating for each, as well as input from the non-management Board members. These

recommendations may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee prior to finalization. The personal performance

assessment of our CEO is determined by the Compensation Committee with input from members of the Board.

While the achievement of corporate objectives is quantified with an individual rating, each NEO’s relative contribution to

those objectives is only one qualitative component against which the individual’s performance is assessed by the

Compensation Committee.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan

We believe long-term incentive compensation represents an important and appropriate motivational tool to achieve certain

long-term Company goals and closely align the interests of our management team with those of our shareholders. Our

executive officers participate in our Long-Term Incentive Plan or "LTIP" as a result of their ability to make a significant

contribution to the Company’s financial performance, their level of responsibility, their ability to meet performance objectives

and their leadership potential and execution.

In 2024 , the Compensation Committee adopted a Board approved “pay-for-differentiated-performance” based Long-Term

Incentive Plan (“ 2024 LTIP”) for each of the NEOs. The 2024 LTIP utilizes a long-term incentive target award, which is

established as a percentage of base compensation for each of the NEOs. The target award is comprised of a restricted

share award (80% of which is Company performance-contingent and 20% of which is time-based).

In determining the number of shares comprising the 2024 LTIP award, the target value of the restricted share component is

divided by the stock price per share as established by the Board for the particular plan year, reflecting the trading price

range of the common stock preceding the grant date ($63.34 for the 2024 LTIP award), with the exception of Mr. Roeder's

2024 LTIP award. The number of shares comprising Mr. Roeder's 2024 LTIP award reflected the stock price on the date of

grant ($78.88 for his 2024 LTIP award), which was the closing stock price on March 5, 2024. The awarded target shares vest

over a three-year period as follows:

• Time-based shares cliff vest at the conclusion of the three-year service period from the grant date.

• Performance-contingent shares are earned based on the achievement of the three-year cumulative Company EBITDA

performance ( 2024 to 2026 ) against a target from 0% up to a maximum payout of 200% of target.

The 2024 LTIP further reflects the Company’s “pay-for-differentiated-performance” philosophy through its upside potential for

performance in excess of target levels.

For 2024 , the target as a percentage of base compensation was increased from the 2023 LTIP for all NEOs in alignment

with the Company’s “pay-for-differentiated-performance” philosophy, anticipated conditions in the Company’s end markets,

market competitive positions for earned payout, and the increased component of the pay-at-risk compensation for each

NEO.

The table below shows a sample calculation of 2024 LTIP award components:

Base Salary Target Award As A % Of Base Salary Target Award 2,250 Restricted Shares @ $63.34 Per Share) Restricted Shares Target Award: Performance-Contingent (80%) (Shares @ $63.34 Per Share) Restricted Shares Target Award: Time-Based (20%) (Shares @ $63.34 Per Share)
$475,000 30% $142,500 1,800 450

The 2024 LTIP award is divided into (i) restricted shares with time-based vesting (“Time-Based Shares”) and (ii) restricted

shares with performance-based vesting (“Performance-Contingent Shares”). The Compensation Committee believes that

the use of Time-Based Shares and Performance-Contingent Shares aligns the NEO's focus with the Company’s long-term

financial performance objectives and provides that a significant retention value of the granted equity is maintained for each

NEO.

The Company records the estimated compensation expense over the life of the LTIP performance period in alignment with

the Company's LTIP target payout (100%) and adjusts its estimates on a periodic basis, if needed. The NEOs have voting

rights with respect to all of the shares as of the date of grant and the shares will be returned to the Company in the event

that performance targets or time-based vesting requirements are not achieved. The actual payout under the 2024 LTIP for all

the NEOs will be determined at the conclusion of the three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2026 (the third

year in the cumulative EBITDA performance measurement period) and payment of the award will be settled in stock.

vested. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Upon a Change of Control” for a discussion of amounts payable to

each of the NEOs upon termination or a change in control.

Stock Ownership Requirement

The NEOs and other executive officers are required to maintain a predefined multiple of base salary in the form of ownership

of the Company’s common stock based on the Board-established target price for a particular plan year to be achieved over

a period of three years. The Company does not have a specific holding/retention period for stock options and stock

appreciation rights (“SARS”) exercised or for the vesting of stock-based grants. For each of the NEOs employed by the

Company as of December 31, 2024 , their respective total common stock ownership for the year ended December 31, 2024

exceeded the stock ownership requirement. The following table sets forth information about the required share value of the

common stock to be owned by each NEO for the year ended December 31, 2024 :

Name 2024 Base Salary 2024 Multiple of Base Salary Required Total Share Value (1)
Andy L. Nemeth $850,000 4X $3,400,000

Matthew S. Filer 375,000 2X 750,000
Hugo E. Gonzalez 470,000 2X 940,000

(1) Inclusive of the fair value of

stock options, SARS, restricted

stock and restricted stock units

awarded by the Company and

shares purchased by the NEO

in the open market. Total share

value is calculated based on the

NASDAQ Stock Market closing

price on December 31, 2024.

Hedging

The Company does not have a policy that prevents employees (including officers) or directors from engaging in hedging

transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s

equity securities, and such transactions are generally permitted.

Executive Compensation Considerations

Executive Retirement Plan

As part of a long-term compensation program established

prior to 2007, the Company maintains a non-qualified

executive retirement plan (the “Executive Retirement Plan”)

for Mr. Nemeth. According to the provisions of the Executive

Retirement Plan, Mr. Nemeth is entitled to receive annually

40% of his highest annual base wages earned in the last

three years prior to retirement or termination from the

Company paid over 10 years in 260 consecutive bi-weekly

payments. No new employees have been invited to

participate in the Executive Retirement Plan since January

1, 2007.

Perquisites

The Company believes in a performance-based

compensation and benefits package and, therefore,

provides few perquisites to our NEOs. The Company

provides a car allowance to our NEOs, other executives,

corporate managers and general managers, all of which are

included as taxable income.

Benefit Plans

The Company does not maintain separate benefit plans for

our NEOs. They participate in the same health and welfare

plans as all of our other general employees with the same

deductibles and co-pays. The NEOs also participate in the

same 401(k) retirement program as all of the other general

employees.

Insider Trading Policy

The Company has an insider trading policy whereby the mandatory trading blackout period begins 14 calendar days prior to

the close of trading on the stock market on the last trading day of the Company's quarterly reporting period and ends after

the first full trading day following the public release of the financial information for that reporting period. During this period,

Section 16 insiders and certain management and other employees who have access to “inside” information are precluded

from trading in the public market any types of Company stock or other securities. Additionally, the Company precludes any

Section 16 insider, as defined by the SEC, director, officer or employee from trading in the public market, or any other

market, based on information that is not made available to the general public.

The Company has no formal policy regarding the timing of awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights in relation

to the disclosure of material nonpublic information and the Board and Compensation Committee make no determinations as

32

Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

to the timing of such awards in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information. The Company has not timed the

disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Tax Considerations

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 modified IRC Section 162(m) to, among other things, limit the

federal tax deduction for annual individual compensation paid to $1 million for NEOs beginning with the 2018 tax year.

Previously, compensation paid in excess of $1 million could be deducted if it was performance-based. The Tax Cuts and

Jobs Act includes a transition relief rule in which these changes do not apply to compensation payable pursuant to a written

binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017, and is not materially modified after that date.

Potential Payments Upon

Termination or Upon a

Change of Control

Executive Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into Employment Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Messrs. Nemeth, Rodino,

Ellis, Roeder and Gonzalez, pursuant to which they agreed to serve as executive officers of the Company. The

Agreements contain a non-compete clause and certain other stipulations and provide for a severance package

that includes 12 months base salary. Under the Agreements, voluntary termination by the NEO or termination

by the Company for cause will not result in any obligation of the Company to make payments. Upon termination

by the Company without cause (as defined in the Agreement), each NEO would be entitled to: (i) one year of

base salary; and (ii) annual non-equity incentive compensation that the NEO would have been entitled to

receive at the end of the fiscal year. In addition, if the NEO’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the

fiscal year due to death or disability or without cause, any non-equity incentive compensation due to the NEO is

to be pro-rated as of the effective date of the termination. The base salary portion would be paid out in equal bi-

weekly payments on the regular payroll cycle, and the non-equity incentive compensation would be calculated

and paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan on a pro-rata basis from the date of termination.

Upon termination due to death or disability, the NEO would only receive base salary through the end of the

month in which the disability or death occurred. In addition, each of the NEOs has agreed to comply with certain

restrictive covenants, including an agreement not to compete with the Company for the two-year period

following termination of employment, all of which remain subject to certain exceptions.

We believe that the Company should provide reasonable severance benefits to our NEOs and other general

employees that are fair and commensurate with their job duties, functions, and responsibilities. We believe it is

in the best interest of the Company to obtain a release from employees whose employment is terminated as

well as a restrictive covenant agreement from certain employees in the form of an employment agreement.

Executive Equity Compensation Agreement

In addition to reasonable severance benefits outlined under the employment agreements discussed above, the Company

has entered into certain long-term equity compensation agreements with its executive officers, of which the awards

under those agreements (in the form of restricted stock grants, stock options and SARS) are eligible for accelerated

vesting under certain circumstances.

Restricted Share Awards

With respect to the Time-Based Share awards granted under the 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the event of a

termination of employment by the Company without cause, upon a change of control or termination due to death or

disability, all unvested Time-Based Share awards would become fully vested.

With respect to the Performance-Contingent Share awards granted under the 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the event

of a termination of employment by the Company without cause or a termination due to death or disability before the

performance period ending date, the number of Performance-Contingent Shares shall continue to vest subject to the

achievement of certain pre-established performance criteria for such awards with the performance period ending with the

date as stated in the applicable award agreement. In the event of a change of control, all unvested Performance-

Contingent Shares would become fully vested as of the effective date of the change of control event and based upon the

assumption that the Company would have achieved the target amount of EBITDA for the performance period.

Table of Contents

Stock Options and SARs

With respect to stock options and SARS granted under the 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the event the NEO ceases

to be an employee of the Company, no further vesting will occur from and after the date of termination except in the

event of a termination of employment by the Company without cause, in which case both stock options and SARS would

become fully vested and exercisable as to any shares that have not otherwise vested as of the effective date of

employment termination.

Based on the employment and compensation arrangements in effect as of December 31, 2024 and assuming a

hypothetical termination date of December 31, 2024 , including the price of the Company’s common stock on that date,

the table on page 42 identifie s the benefits each NEO would receive upon (i) a termination without cause, (ii) a change of

control, or (iii) a termination due to death or disability.

Chief Financial Officer Employment Agreement (Andrew C. Roeder)

Mr. Roeder’s Employment Agreement dated as of March 5, 2024 (the “CFO Agreement”), provides that Mr. Roeder serve

as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and that his employment term will continue unless terminated by either party

in accordance with the CFO Agreement. Pursuant to the CFO Agreement, Mr. Roeder is entitled to: (i) an annual base

salary, (ii) participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans as they are generally available to the Company’s

employees, (iii) participate in the Company’s STIP, and (iv) participate in the Company’s LTIP. The CFO Agreement also

provides that Mr. Roeder is entitled to certain severance benefits in the event that his employment is terminated (a) due

to his death or disability, or (b) by the Company without cause, or (c) by himself for good reason (as such terms are

defined in the CFO Agreement).

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and SEC rules, the Company is providing

information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of its employees to the annual total compensation of the

CEO during 2024 . The total annual compensation of our median employee based on total annual compensation (other than

our CEO) w as $47,141. The annual total compensation of the CEO was $6,400,374 . Based on this information, the ratio of

the total compensation of the CEO for fiscal 2024 to the median employee’s total annual compensation is 136 to 1 .

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in good faith, in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K,

based on the Company’s payroll and employment records and the methodology described below. 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 compensation practices. As such, the pay ratios reported by other companies may not be

comparable to the pay ratio set forth above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation

practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all employees, as well as to determine the annual total

compensation of the “median employee,” the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates used

were as follows:

  1. The median employee was identified using active employee information as of December 31, 2024 .

  2. Fiscal 2024 earnings (gross pay) of cash compensation were used as the consistently applied compensation measure

to identify the median employee within the employee population. Cash compensation is the most prevalent measure of

pay across the organization. Using this methodology, the median employee’s compensation was $47,141 and

determined to be applicable to a full-time, hourly, United States-based employee.

  1. The total compensation of the CEO for fiscal 2024 was $6,400,374 , which is the total of the compensation components

reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

(g) Dividends accrued during vesting period on restricted equity awards are paid only on shares that vest with payment made at the time of vesting.

(h) Mr. Nemeth is the only participant in the Executive Retirement Plan. The annual interest credit on the annuity benefit is reported using the same value in the SCT

and in Compensation Actually Paid.

The Company grants Performance-Contingent Shares to executive officers annually under its LTIP and typically reports the

grant date fair value of these shares at either the target award (100% payout) or at 150% of the nominal “target” award

(shown as “stretch” awards in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table) and accrues expense for these awards based on

the projected payout, unless performance results and projections of future performance require a change to that estimate.

Performance-Contingent Shares are earned based on the achievement of three-year cumulative Company EBITDA (after

the Compensation Committee certifies the actual EBITDA achievement) compared to target EBITDA at the conclusion of

the cumulative three-year performance measurement period. The Company generally grants Time-Based Share awards to

executive officers annually and also at time of hire for certain other officers. Annual Time-Based Share awards cliff-vest on

the third anniversary of the grant date based on continued service through such date.

KEY FINANCIAL

MEASURES

Adjusted Net Income

EBITDA

The Company considers Adjusted Net Income (net of 2024

acquisitions and non-recurring charges and credits) and

EBITDA to be the most important key financial performance

measures that link the Company’s performance for 2024 to

actual compensation paid to its PEO and non-PEO NEOs. As

discussed in the CD&A, the annual STIP uses adjusted Net

Income (net of acquisitions and non-recurring charges and

credits) as the primary financial measure. Performance-

Contingent Shares are earned based on cumulative EBITDA

achieved by the Company during the three-year measurement

period.

Analysis of Compensation Actually Paid and

Company Performance

Since a majority of total compensation provided to the PEO

and the average paid to the Non-PEO NEOs is in the form of

equity-based grants that vest over multi-year periods, the

primary driver of changes in “Compensation Actually Paid”

totals for the PEO and the average for the Non-PEO NEOs is

the fluctuations in the Company’s stock price performance and

the Company's EBITDA performance as compared to pre-

established performance goals pursuant to the Company's

long-term incentive plans.

The charts shown illustrate total Compensation Actually Paid

(“CAP”) to the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs versus: (a) the

Company’s TSR and the TSR of the customized peer group of

companies; (b) CAP versus Net Income; and (c) CAP versus

EBITDA for each of the years ended December 31, 2020,

2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Voting Q&A

Q. Who may vote at the annual meeting? A. Our Board has established the record date for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting" or the "meeting") as the close of business on March 21, 2025 . This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being sent to holders of our common stock as of the record date at the direction of the Board.
Q. How many shares must be present to conduct business at the meeting? A. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held as of the record date. For purposes of the meeting, a quorum means a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote “present” in person or by proxy at the meeting. If a quorum is not present at the time the Annual Meeting is convened, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting until such time that a quorum is present. Shares that are represented at the Annual Meeting but abstain from voting on any or all matters will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote in determining the presence of a quorum. Shareholders participating virtually in the meeting are considered to be attending the meeting “in person.” Abstentions and withheld votes are counted as shares present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 33,555,159 outstanding shares of common stock entitled to one vote each. In determining whether a quorum exists at the meeting, all shares for which proxies were submitted will be counted. Proxies properly executed and received by us prior to the meeting and not revoked will be voted as directed therein on all matters presented at the meeting.
Q. What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting? A. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will act upon the following matters: 1. The election of the nine members of our Board of Directors named in the Proxy Statement; 2. The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025; 3. The approval, by an advisory and non-binding vote, of the compensation paid by the Company to its Named Executive Officers in fiscal year 2024; 4. The amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock; and 5. The approval, by an advisory and non-binding vote, of the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation.
Q. How does the Board recommend I vote? A. Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" all nominees for proposal 1, “FOR” proposals 2, 3 and 4, and "One Year" for Proposal 5. With respect to Proposal 1 (Election of Directors), a shareholder may (i) vote for the election of each named director nominee, or (ii) withhold authority to vote for any named director nominee. With respect to Proposal 2 (Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm), Proposal 3 (Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation) and Proposal 4 (Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock), a shareholder may vote for, against or abstain. With respect to Proposal 5, a shareholder may vote for a frequency of one, two or three years or abstain. Please note that brokers may not vote your shares on Proposals 1, 3, 4 and 5 in the absence of your specific instructions as to how to vote. Please vote either online, by telephone or by returning your Proxy Card so your vote can be counted. Under Proposal 1, the directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Therefore, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on Proposal 1, except to the extent that they will count as votes not cast.
Proposals 2, 3 and 4 require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, assuming a quorum is present. The frequency vote option that receives the highest number of votes cast will prevail for Proposal 5. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on these proposals.
Q. What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting? A. Other than the items of business described in this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If, however, any other matter should properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy form enclosed will vote in accordance with their judgment upon such matter.

Q. How do I vote if my shares are held in “street name”? A. If a shareholder’s shares are held by a broker or another nominee (the “broker”) on the shareholder’s behalf (that is, in “street name”) and the shareholder does not instruct the broker as to how to vote the shareholder’s shares, the broker may vote the shares in its discretion on matters designated as routine. However, a broker cannot vote shares held in street name on matters designated as non-routine unless the broker receives voting instructions from the beneficial owner. If a shareholder’s shares are held in street name and the shareholder does not provide voting instructions to the broker, the broker will have discretion to vote those shares only on Proposal 2 because this proposal is considered a routine matter. “Broker non-votes” occur when a brokerage firm receives a proxy for which no voting instruction has been received from the beneficial owner and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be included for quorum determination purposes at our Annual Meeting but will not be counted as votes cast on any non- routine matter presented.
