(e) On July 9, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the shareholders of Steelcase Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Steelcase Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ICP”). The ICP allows the Company to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards, phantom shares and other share-based awards to employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates and other individuals designated by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the ICP is 3,025,286 plus the number of shares that are subject to or underlie awards made under the ICP prior to the Effective Date which expire or are cancelled or forfeited following the Effective Date, except for shares surrendered or withheld as payment of either the exercise price of an award and/or withholding taxes in respect of such an award. Awards under the ICP are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors or by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to delegated authority and subject to certain limitations.

A copy of the ICP is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
