BACKGROUND:
Mr. McCoy was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a director of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), a market leader in the marine, fitness and billiards industries, from December 2005 until his retirement in February 2016. He joined Brunswick Corporation in September 1999 and, in addition to the roles above, also served as Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary until October 2000, and served as President of the Brunswick Boat Group from October 2000 to December 2005. In 1999, he served as Executive Vice President of Witco Corporation (“Witco”), which traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol WIT prior to its merger with Crompton & Knowles in 1999, and prior to that served as Witco’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Mr. McCoy is also the lead independent director of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) and a director of YETI Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: YETI).
Mr. McCoy graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a J.D. from Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University.
QUALIFICATIONS:
The Board selected Mr. McCoy to serve as a director because of his extensive experience in legal and compliance matters, and specifically his experience in corporate governance and disclosure matters for publicly traded companies. The Board believes that Mr. McCoy’s broad understanding of the operational, financial and strategic issues facing large global companies, his leadership and oversight in LP’s compliance matters, his leadership roles for companies producing both commodity and specialty products, and his valuable strategic advice to the Board and management in advancing LP’s interests make him particularly well-suited to serve as a director of LP.

Q
|
| |
WHEN AND WHERE WILL THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS BE HELD?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
The 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on Friday, May 10, 2024 at 7:30 a.m. Central Time virtually via live audio webcast at http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LPX2024. There will be no physical meeting location. If you are a stockholder of record, you can be admitted to and attend the virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders by entering the 16-digit voting control number found on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy card or voting instruction form. If you are a beneficial owner (for example, if your shares are not registered in your name but are held in “street name” for you by your broker, bank or other nominee), you must follow the instructions printed on your voting instruction form.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
We have designed the virtual 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to provide substantially the same opportunities to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting. Stockholders will be able to attend and participate online and submit questions during the Annual Meeting, and will be able to vote their shares electronically during the Annual Meeting.
|
|
| | | |
To attend, vote, and submit questions during the Annual Meeting visit http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LPX2024 and enter the 16-digit voting control number included in your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy card or voting instruction form. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. Online access will begin approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting, at 7:15 a.m. Central Time.
The question and answer session will include questions submitted in advance of, and questions submitted live during, the Annual Meeting. You may submit questions in advance of the Annual Meeting by logging into www.proxyvote.com and entering your 16-digit voting control number. Once past the log-in screen, click on “Question for Management,” type in the question, and click “Submit.” Alternatively, stockholders will be able to submit questions live during the Annual Meeting by typing the question into the “Ask a Question” field, and clicking “Submit.” We will answer questions that comply with the Annual Meeting rules of conduct during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints.
Additional information regarding the ability of stockholders to ask questions during the Annual Meeting, related rules of conduct, and other materials for the Annual Meeting will be available during the Annual Meeting at http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LPX2024.
If you encounter any difficulties while accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, a technical assistance phone number will be made available on the virtual meeting registration page 15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting.

|
Q
|
| |
WHY DID I RECEIVE A NOTICE REGARDING THE INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS INSTEAD OF A FULL SET OF PROXY MATERIALS?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
As allowed by SEC rules, we are providing access to the proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders by Internet instead of mailing printed copies. You will not receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail unless you have requested it. Instead, you were sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials providing instructions on how you may access and review all of the proxy materials online and submit your proxy online.

Q
|
| |
WHY DID I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD OR NOTICE OF INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
Stockholders that hold shares of Common Stock in in different ways (e.g., joint tenancy, trusts, custodial accounts, etc.) or in multiple accounts may receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or paper copy of the proxy materials, including multiple proxy cards or voting instruction forms. To vote all of your shares, you must complete, sign, date and return each proxy card or voting instruction form that you receive and/or follow the voting instructions on each Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other notice that you receive.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
HOW MANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK MAY VOTE AT THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
As of March 12, 2024, the record date, there were 72,311,293 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter to be acted upon at the meeting.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
WHAT HAPPENS IF OTHER MATTERS ARE BROUGHT BEFORE THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING AND DOES LP EXPECT THAT ANY OTHER MATTERS WILL BE BROUGHT?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
At the time this proxy statement was printed, management knew of no matters to be presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders other than the items of business listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If any matters other than the listed items properly come before the meeting, the proxy named in the form of proxy will vote or refrain from voting on such matters in accordance with his best judgment.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
Stockholders of Record—If you are a record holder of shares, you may submit a proxy with your voting instructions or you may vote during the virtual Annual Meeting on Friday, May 10, 2024. If you are a record holder and would like to submit your proxy prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you may do so using one of the following three methods:
|
|
| |
Via the Internet
|
| |
By Telephone
|
| |
By Mail
|
| |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| |
Go to the website www.proxyvote.com and follow the instructions provided.
|
| |
Call 1-800-690-6903 using a touch-tone phone (toll charges may apply for calls made from outside the United States) and follow the instructions provided.
|
| |
If you received a proxy card in the mail, complete, sign, date, and mail the proxy card in the return envelope provided to you.
|
| |
|
Please note that proxies submitted via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on May 9, 2024. If you received a proxy card in the mail and wish to vote by completing and returning the proxy card via mail, please note that your completed proxy card must be received before the polls close for voting during the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Friday, May 10, 2024. Properly completed proxies will be voted as instructed.
|
|
|
If you plan to participate in the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and you wish to vote at such time, the virtual meeting platform will allow you to vote your shares during the meeting. Even if you vote by proxy prior to May 10, 2024, you may still participate in the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
|
|
|
Beneficial Stockholders of Shares Held in “Street Name”—If your shares are held in “street name” (meaning in the name of your bank, broker or other nominee) and you were a beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the record date, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions your bank, broker or other nominee provides. If you want to vote during the virtual Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit voting control number which appears on the voting instructions or the proxy materials that you received.
|
|
|
If shares are held for your account in LP’s Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan administered by Computershare, all your shares held in the plan will be voted in the same manner as shares you vote by proxy. If you do not vote by proxy, the shares held for your account in the plan will not be voted.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
HOW WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW THEY SHOULD BE VOTED IN MY PROXY?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
If you are a stockholder of record and return a proxy without indicating voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board “FOR” each of the director nominees in Proposal 1 and “FOR” Proposal 2 and Proposal 3. If you hold your shares in “street name” and do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee will only be permitted to vote your shares with respect to some, but not all, of the proposals. Brokers, banks or other persons acting as nominees for beneficial owners are not permitted to vote proxies with regard to Proposals 1 and 3 on behalf of beneficial owners who have not provided voting instructions (resulting in a “broker non-vote”).
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
HOW MANY VOTES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote, present in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
HOW ARE ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES TREATED?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
With respect to all proposals, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” from voting. An “abstention” represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the proposals. However, holders who have abstained from voting and holders represented by broker non-votes are deemed to be “present” at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for purposes of establishing a quorum.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
CAN I REVOKE MY PROXY?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
If you vote your proxy prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you may revoke your proxy by (i) filing either a written notice of revocation with the Corporate Secretary of LP at any time before the meeting, or if you hold your shares in “street name,” following the instructions on your voting instruction form, (ii) submitting a subsequent proxy via the Internet or by telephone, (iii) submitting another properly signed proxy card (or voting
|
|
| | | |
instruction form) bearing a later date, or (iv) voting electronically during the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES AND ARE MY VOTES CONFIDENTIAL?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
The Board has adopted a confidential voting policy which provides that the voting instructions of stockholders are not to be disclosed to LP except (i) in the case of communications intended for management, (ii) in the event of certain contested matters or (iii) as required by law. Votes will be tabulated by independent tabulators and summaries of the tabulation will be provided to management.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
WHEN WILL THE VOTING RESULTS BE ANNOUNCED?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
The preliminary voting results will be announced at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The final voting results will be available in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days following the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
WHO IS SOLICITING PROXIES AND WHO PAYS THE COST OF PROXY SOLICITATION?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
LP is soliciting proxies on behalf of its Board to be voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (including any postponement, adjournment or recess of the meeting). The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by LP. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the use of mail and the Internet, some of the officers and regular employees of LP, without extra compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by other means such as telephone or e-mail.
LP has engaged Alliance Advisors LLC (“Alliance”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies. LP will pay Alliance a base fee of $15,000, plus reimbursement of certain customary out-of-pocket expenses, for these services.
LP will request brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees, and their nominees who hold Common Stock of record to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of such stock and will reimburse such record holders for their reasonable expenses in forwarding material.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
IF I AM UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS, CAN I LISTEN AT A LATER TIME?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
A replay of the Annual Meeting will be made publicly available for one year at http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LPX2024.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
WHAT IS “HOUSEHOLDING”?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We and some brokers “household” proxy materials, delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or a single set of the Annual Report to Stockholders and proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from one or more of the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive
|
|
| | | |
a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or Annual Report to Stockholders and proxy statement, as applicable, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the Annual Report to Stockholders and proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account, or us or our transfer agent, if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to Corporate Secretary, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, 1610 West End Avenue, Suite 200, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, or by making an oral request by calling 615-986-5600. We will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the Annual Report to Stockholders and proxy statement, as applicable, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Annual Report to Stockholders and proxy statement was delivered.
|
|
|
Q
|
| |
HOW CAN I COMMUNICATE WITH LP’S BOARD?
|
|
|
A:
|
| |
Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with the Board by sending written correspondence to either the Chair of the Governance Committee or our Lead Independent Director by e-mail at governance@lpcorp.com, or to our headquarters at Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, 1610 West End Avenue, Suite 200, Nashville, Tennessee 37203. See the “Corporate Governance—Communications with the Board” section of this proxy statement for additional information.
