On August 1, 2024, MasterBrand, Inc. (the “Company”) published on its website its annual Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility Report (the “2023 CSR Report”). A copy of the 2023 CSR Report is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. In connection with the 2023 CSR Report, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) on August 1, 2024. A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference.
 
The information in this Item 7.01 and Item 9.01, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
 
This Form 8-K, the 2023 CSR Report, and the Press Release contain forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements also generally include, without limitation, statements and information regarding future expectations, outcomes or results of the company, projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts and management’s beliefs, expectations, goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance, outcomes or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times that, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information, including expectations regarding operational and financial improvements and the Company’s future performance, outcomes or results are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statement. Important factors that could affect the Company’s future performance, outcomes or results and could cause them to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include the Company’s ability to source sustainable raw materials, avert waste from landfills and manage its energy use, government regulations, changes in the scope of the Company’s operations, developments in science or technologies on measuring or assessing the impacts of operations or emissions, consumer preferences for goods or services relating to sustainability, emissions reductions and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of, and are based only upon information available on, the date the statements were made. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information. If the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.
