Executive Compensation Program

Our compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain executive talent to achieve success in both the short- and long-term for our Company; pay for sustainable performance in an ever-changing environment; and align the interests of our executive officers with our shareholders. We continue to refine our executive compensation program to reflect changes in our business strategy and evolving executive compensation practices.

Executive Compensation Highlights

•We seek alignment of pay and performance each year. A significant portion of our compensation program is performance-based through the use of short- and long-term incentive plans that have multiple financial performance metrics.

•We annually disclose Company performance against the established performance metrics for our annual cash incentive in our proxy statement.

•Our long-term incentive compensation program consists of annual restricted stock awards that vest over three years and annual performance awards with overlapping three-year performance periods that vest at the end of the performance period based on our three-year average adjusted return on invested capital (“Adjusted ROIC”) over the period and that settle 50% in shares and 50% in cash. (Adjusted ROIC is a non-GAAP measure. See discussion of non-GAAP financial measures on page 37.)

•We deliver a significant portion of potential total compensation to our executive officers in the form of equity.

•We have stock ownership guidelines for our Chief Executive Officer that require an ownership level of five times their annual base salary, three times their annual salary for our Chief Financial Officer, two times their annual salaries for corporate executive officers and segment presidents, including Messrs. Longman, Dobler and Jewell, and one times their annual salaries for other corporate executives, including Mr. Augdahl. Messrs. Silberhorn, Longman, Dobler, Jewell and Augdahl achieved the required ownership levels within the required grace period. Mr. Osberg is on pace to achieve his ownership level requirement within the five-year period.

•We have “clawback” policies that we amended in 2023 to comply with the incentive compensation recovery rules adopted by the SEC and Nasdaq. We have a clawback policy that provides for similar recoupment rights from participants in our executive compensation program.

•We have a hedging policy that prohibits all employees and directors from engaging in hedging transactions in our Company’s securities. We also have an anti-pledging policy that prohibits executive officers and directors of the Company from, directly or indirectly, pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise encumbering shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for indebtedness. None of our executive officers have pledged any shares of our common stock as security or collateral on a personal loan.

•Our “double-trigger” change-in-control agreements do not provide for any excise tax “gross-ups,” and we do not provide any tax “gross-ups” on any benefits for our executive officers.

Fiscal 2024 Executive Compensation Actions

•Base Salaries. For fiscal 2024, the Committee awarded a base salary increase of 7.14% to Mr. Silberhorn, our Chief Executive Officer. Among our Other Named Executive Officers, Messrs. Longman, Dobler and Jewell received base salary increases ranging from 3.23% to 4.92%. Mr. Osberg, who joined the Company during fiscal 2024, did not receive a base salary increase. See “Fiscal 2024 Individual Compensation Actions” beginning on page 45 for a discussion of factors considered in establishing base salaries and subsequent increases.

•Annual Cash Incentive Payouts. Our annual cash incentive awards are designed to reward achievement of financial goals established in our annual operating plan. For Messrs. Silberhorn, Osberg and Dobler, whose payouts were based on consolidated performance metrics, the fiscal 2024 annual cash incentive paid out at 163.86% of target. For Messrs. Longman and Jewell, whose payouts were based on segment as well as consolidated performance metrics, the fiscal 2024 annual cash incentive paid out at 197.25% and 47.25% of target, respectively. See “Fiscal 2024 Annual Cash Incentive Payouts” beginning on page 47 for a discussion of the metrics, goals and amounts paid to our Named Executive Officers for our annual cash incentive awards in fiscal 2024.

•Long-Term Incentive Awards. Our long-term incentive program for our Other Named Executive Officers is comprised of: (i) 50% time-based restricted stock awards that vest ratably over three years; and (ii) 50% performance awards with a three-year performance period, which settle 50% in cash and 50% in stock and are paid out at the end of the period based on the Company’s three-year average Adjusted ROIC over the performance period. Mr. Silberhorn’s long-term incentive awards in fiscal 2024 consisted of 40% time-based restricted stock and 60% as a performance award with terms consistent with those provided to the Other Named Executive Officers. In fiscal 2024, Mr. Silberhorn received a restricted stock award valued at $990,010 and a performance award with a target payout of $1,484,985 and Messrs. Osberg, Longman, Dobler and Jewell received restricted stock awards with values ranging from $274,553 to $1,072,512 and performance awards with target payouts ranging from $249,597 to $472,501. See “Long-Term Incentive Compensation” beginning on page 50 for additional information about our long-term incentive program and fiscal 2024 awards.

•Reassignment Grants. In connection with the reassignments of Mr. Jewell to President, Architectural Glass Segment, and Mr. Longman to President, Architectural Framing Systems Segment, effective as of October 18, 2023, the Company granted them each time-based restricted stock awards with a grant date fair value of $95,546, that was included in the Stock Awards column for fiscal 2024 in the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 56. Assuming continued employment with the Company, one-half of the restricted shares will vest annually over two years, starting on the one-year anniversary of the appointments.

•Interim Chief Financial Officer Transition. Mr. Augdahl served as our Interim Chief Financial Officer and then Vice President, Finance, for the Architectural Glass Segment for the first three months of fiscal 2024. Then for the last nine months of fiscal 2024, he began participating in our executive compensation program when he was appointed Chief Accounting Officer on June 21, 2023.

He received an annual cash incentive paid out at 150.00% of target as Vice President, Finance of the Architectural Glass Segment, and an annual cash incentive paid out at 163.86% of target as Chief Accounting Officer. He received long-term incentive awards of time-based restricted stock with grant date fair values of $258,141, and a performance award with a target payout of $94,219 with terms consistent with those provided to the Other Named Executive Officers.

•New Chief Financial Officer Appointment. In connection with Mr. Osberg's appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective April 28, 2023, the Company and Mr. Osberg entered into an Offer Letter Agreement (the "Offer Letter"). Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter, Mr. Osberg is entitled to an initial annual base salary of $630,000 per year and a one-time sign-on bonus of $150,000 (which was subject to repayment if Mr. Osberg left the Company

during the first 12 months of his employment). This bonus was included in the Bonus column for fiscal 2024 in the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 56. The Offer Letter also provided for the grant to Mr. Osberg of $600,000 worth of restricted shares of the Company's stock, based on the closing price on Mr. Osberg's hire date, that was included in the Stock Awards column for fiscal 2024 in the Summary Compensation Table.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, officers and all persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. Section 16(a) officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of Section 16(a) reports filed electronically with the SEC and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all forms required to be filed by such persons under Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis, with the exception of four late filings: one late filing by Mr. Augdahl to report the grant of restricted shares of common stock of the Company with respect to a transaction on April 12, 2023 that was reported on a Form 4 on April 20, 2023; one late filing for Jane Boyce reporting the gifting of common stock of the Company to a family trust with respect to a transaction on July 14, 2023 that was reported on a Form 4 on July 20, 2023; one late filing by Mr. Jewell to report the grant of restricted shares of common stock of the Company with respect to a transaction on October 18, 2023 that was reported on a Form 4 on February 9, 2024; and, one late filing for Mr. Longman to report the grant of restricted shares of common stock of the Company with respect to a transaction on October 18, 2023 that was reported on a Form 4 on February 9, 2024.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

Our Articles provide that our Board of Directors will be divided into three classes of directors of as nearly equal size as possible and the term of each class of directors is three years. The term of one class expires each year in rotation. Currently, we have nine directors, with three directors serving in each class. At our Annual Meeting, the terms of our three Class II directors will expire.

Christina M. Alvord, Herbert K. Parker and Ty R. Silberhorn have been nominated for re-election to our Board as Class II directors. Class II directors re-elected at the Annual Meeting will serve until our 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a director, if re-elected.

If any of the nominees becomes unable or unwilling to serve as a director prior to the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board. Alternatively, at the Board’s discretion, the proxies may be voted for a fewer number of nominees.

Information about the background and qualifications of the Board nominees standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting and the directors continuing to serve after the Annual Meeting who are not subject to re-election at the Annual Meeting is provided below.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the three Class II director nominees. Unless a contrary instruction is indicated on the proxy, proxies will be voted FOR the election of the three Class II director nominees.

Corporate Governance

Our Board is committed to high standards of corporate governance and ethical business conduct. The following corporate governance resources reflect this commitment and provide a framework within which directors and management operate the business.

Corporate Governance Resources

Information related to our corporate governance is available on our website at www.apog.com by clicking on “Investors,” selecting “Governance” and then selecting the applicable document or information. This information includes:

•Board and Committee Composition

•Board Committee Charters

•Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, including our Code of Conduct Hotline

•How to Contact the Board

•Our Corporate Governance Guidelines

•Our Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended

•Our Amended and Restated By-laws

•Our Conflict Minerals Policy and related resources

Information relating to our management team is also available on our website at www.apog.com by clicking on “About Us” and then selecting “Leadership.”

Code of Business Ethics and Conduct

Our Board of Directors has adopted our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct (our “Code of Conduct”), which is a statement of our high standards for ethical behavior and legal compliance. All our employees and all members of our Board of Directors are required to comply with our Code of Conduct and receive training and certification on our Code of Conduct each year. For employees suspecting a violation of our Code of Conduct, we maintain an independent hotline available 24/7 that allows both anonymous and confidential reporting.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines outline the role, composition, qualifications, operation and other policies applicable to our Board of Directors and are revised as necessary to reflect evolving corporate governance practices.

Communications with Our Board of Directors

Our stakeholders may communicate directly with our Board of Directors, our Independent Chair or any other specified individual director in writing by (i) sending a letter addressed to Apogee Directors, Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435, or (ii) sending an email to Directors@apog.com. Substantive communications, such as corporate governance matters or potential issues relating to accounting, internal controls or other auditing matters, are forwarded by our General Counsel to the relevant director(s) as appropriate. Communications not requiring the substantive attention of our Board, such as employment inquiries, sales solicitations, donation requests, questions about our products, and other such matters, are handled directly by our management team.

21

Director Independence

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a substantial majority of the directors on our Board, and all members of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees (collectively, the “Committees”) must be independent. Each year, in accordance with Nasdaq rules, our Board of Directors affirmatively determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director in accordance with guidelines it has adopted, which include all elements of independence set forth in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed the applicable legal standards for Board member and Committee member independence and reported on its review to our Board of Directors. Based on this review, our Board of Directors has determined that the following non-employee directors are independent and have no material relationship with the Company except serving as a director and holding shares of our common stock: Christina M. Alvord, Frank G. Heard, Lloyd E. Johnson, Elizabeth M. Lilly, Donald A. Nolan, Herbert K. Parker, Mark A. Pompa and Patricia K. Wagner. Our Board of Directors has determined that Ty R. Silberhorn is not independent because he serves as an officer of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Nolan has served as our Independent Chair since January 2020. The Independent Chair of our Board chairs our annual meeting of shareholders, the meetings of our Board of Directors and executive sessions of our independent directors. In addition, the Independent Chair of our Board, in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, establishes the agenda for each meeting of our Board of Directors. The Independent Chair also attends Committee meetings as an ad hoc member, participates in discussions but does not vote on Committee matters, and serves as the primary liaison between the senior management team and the Board. The Board believes that having an Independent Chair provides independent leadership on the Board and enables our Chief Executive Officer to focus his time and energy on development of strategy, operational improvements and leadership of the management and employee teams. The Board believes that this division of responsibilities serves the Board, the Company, and our shareholders well.

The Board recognizes that there are circumstances when combining the Independent Chair and Chief Executive Officer roles may be appropriate, such as for an interim period when either leader becomes incapacitated, or in the course of Independent Chair or Chief Executive Officer transitions.

Criteria for Membership on Our Board of Directors

Director candidates should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stakeholders; have an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom and mature judgment; and be willing to challenge management in a constructive manner. Our Board of Directors strives for membership that is diverse in gender, race, ethnicity, age, geographic location, and business skills and experience at policy-making levels.

Director Time Commitment and Other Board Service

In addition, director candidates must be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities and should be committed to serving on our Board of Directors for an extended period of time. It is the policy of the Board that a non-employee director should not serve on the board of directors of more than four other publicly-held corporation unless approved by the majority of the directors.

Procedure for Evaluating Director Nominees

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s procedure for reviewing the qualifications of all nominees for membership on our Board of Directors includes making a preliminary assessment of each proposed nominee, based upon resume and biographical information, willingness to serve and other background information, business experience and leadership skills. Our Board believes that its membership should reflect a diversity of experience, skills, geography, gender, race and ethnicity, and invites directors to annually self-identify certain diversity characteristics that may inform their perspectives and contributions to the Board. The Committee considers each of these factors when evaluating our Board composition, and it considers these factors on an ongoing basis as it identifies and evaluates director candidates. All director candidates who

22

continue in the process are then interviewed by members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and other current directors. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to our Board of Directors for inclusion in the slate of director nominees at a meeting of shareholders, or for appointment by our Board of Directors to fill a vacancy. Prior to recommending a director to stand for re-election for another term, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee applies its director candidate selection criteria, including a director’s past contributions to our Board of Directors, effectiveness as a director, and desire to continue to serve as a director.

Board Diversity Matrix

The table below provides self-identified diversity statistics for our directors as of April 22, 2024. Each of the categories listed in the table below has the meaning as it is used in Nasdaq Rule 5605(f).

Board Refreshment and Retirement Policy

Our Company has an active board refreshment program. As a mechanism to encourage director refreshment, our Board of Directors has established a policy that no individual may stand for election to our Board after their 72nd birthday, unless otherwise approved by a majority of our directors.

Since June 2017, seven new directors have joined our Board: Lloyd E. Johnson in fiscal 2018, Herbert K. Parker and Mark A. Pompa in fiscal 2019; Christina M. Alvord, Frank G. Heard and Elizabeth M. Lilly in fiscal 2020 and Ty R. Silberhorn in fiscal 2021.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors

Our Board of Directors has established director stock ownership guidelines that encourage share ownership by our directors. During fiscal 2024, our Board of Directors increased the stock ownership guidelines from three to four times an amount equal to the annual Board retainer to be achieved within five years of first being elected as a director. For fiscal 2024, the annual Board retainer was $65,000. In calculating share ownership of our non-employee directors, we include shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred restricted stock units issued pursuant to our 2009 Director Stock Plan, 2019 Director Stock Plan and phantom stock units issued pursuant to our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Shares are valued based on the average closing price of our common stock for the most recently completed fiscal year. As of March 1, 2024, the last trading day of fiscal 2024, all our non-employee directors exceeded our stock ownership guidelines.

Board Meetings and 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

During fiscal 2024, our Board of Directors met six times and our non-employee directors met in executive session without our Chief Executive Officer or any other members of management being present at each meeting. Each of our directors attended more than 75% of the regularly scheduled and special meetings of our Board of Directors and our Committees on which they served during fiscal 2024.

23

All members of our Board of Directors are expected to attend our annual meeting of shareholders, and all members of our Board of Directors who continued to serve on our Board after our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders attended such meeting via the virtual meeting platform.

Board Committee Responsibilities, Meetings and Membership

We currently have three standing Committees: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance. Each Committee operates under a written charter that is available on our website at www.apog.com by clicking on “Investors” and selecting “Governance” and then clicking on the applicable Board Committee. Each Committee member meets the applicable independence and experience requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards and the SEC for the Committees on which they serve.

Risk Oversight by Our Board of Directors and Management

Committee Roles in Risk Management

Our Board of Directors oversees our enterprise risk management processes, focusing on our business, strategic, financial, operational, information technology, cybersecurity, climate-related and overall enterprise risk. Our Board determined that oversight of our Company’s strategy and overall enterprise risk management program is more effective when performed by the full Board, utilizing the skills and experiences of all directors. In addition, our Board of Directors executes its overall responsibility for risk management through its Committees as follows:

•Our Audit Committee has primary responsibility for risk management relating to the reliability of our financial reporting processes, system of internal controls and corporate compliance program. Our Audit Committee receives quarterly reports from management, our independent registered public accounting firm and internal audit partner regarding our financial reporting processes, internal controls and public filings. It also receives quarterly updates from management regarding Code of Conduct matters, litigation and legal claims, and other compliance matters.

•Our Compensation Committee, with assistance from its independent compensation consultant, oversees risk management associated with our compensation programs, policies and practices with respect to both executive compensation and compensation in general, and reviews human capital management matters including diversity, equity and inclusion.

•Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risk management associated with succession planning, non-employee director compensation, overall Board of Directors and Board Committee performance, and corporate governance practices.

Management's Role in Risk Management

The Company's Enterprise Risk Management committee, or ERM, assists us in achieving our business objectives by creating a systematic approach to anticipate, analyze and review material risks. The ERM committee meets with the Company's executives and senior leaders, and presents to the Board at least twice per year on the probability, potential impact and timeframe of impact of the identified risks.

Sustainability and Human Capital

At Apogee, our Core Values are the foundation of our culture, and they are reflected in our commitment to environmental sustainability and to developing our employees to their full potential.

Additional information related to our sustainability efforts, human capital management and environmental responsibility efforts is available on our website at www.apog.com by clicking “Sustainability.”

Sustainability Focus

As a leading provider of architectural products and services, we are committed to integrating sustainable business practices and environmental stewardship throughout our business. Our company-wide commitment to sustainable business practices is focused on delivering long-term profitable growth, while carefully stewarding the resources entrusted to us and delivering products and services that address our customers’ increasing focus on energy efficiency and reducing their carbon footprint.

Our Sustainability Strategy

The key areas of focus for Apogee's Sustainability Strategy are:

Environment

We understand our responsibility to protect the environment and be responsible stewards of the resources entrusted to us. Through our Apogee Management System we will continually focus on incorporating environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes, eliminating waste, and minimizing our resource consumption. To further our efforts, in fiscal 2024, we calculated and publicly disclosed our baseline Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, along with data on enterprise-wide energy consumption. We plan to use this data to evaluate new opportunities for reducing our emissions and energy use.

We are also sharing best practices across our locations, including waste reduction and recycling programs that will divert hundreds of tons of materials from the waste stream each year. Our facility and operations teams will continually seek innovative ways to reduce our environmental impact, including installing energy-efficient LED lighting, reducing resource consumption and waste, and utilizing reusable shipping containers.

Our People

At Apogee, we understand that our Company is only as strong as our people. We will continually focus on strengthening our team, ensuring we have the talent and skills across our organization to consistently deliver the innovative products, technical expertise, and dependable customer service that sets us apart. For additional information on our health, wellness, safety, and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives see our "Human Capital Resources" section below.

27

We also strive to make a difference in the communities where we operate. Apogee has a long legacy of giving back to the communities where we do business through volunteerism, donations, and financial support. We will continue to work to strengthen the communities where we operate by investing in our business and creating good jobs.

Governance

We recognize that sound oversight is critical to our ability to effectively plan and execute our long-term goals. As outlined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board of Directors, directly and through its Committees, has overall responsibility for the Company's risk oversight as well as corporate responsibility, including environmental, social, and governance matters and climate-related risk. The Board's Compensation Committee provides oversight of our human capital management matters, including diversity, equity and inclusion. The full Board of Directors is updated on our sustainability initiatives and strategy at least two times per year.

Our commitment to sustainability begins with our people. We will continually focus on strengthening our team to ensure that we have the capabilities in place to consistently deliver for our customers. Apogee has an enterprise-wide talent management program in place to hire, train, and develop a diverse team of employees and leaders. We are also committed to our employees’ safety and wellness, with a robust workplace safety program, comprehensive benefit packages, and wellness initiatives to promote healthy lifestyles.

Competition for qualified employees in the markets and industries in which we operate is significant, and the success of our Company depends on our ability to attract, select, develop, and retain a productive and engaged workforce. Investing in our employees and their well-being, offering competitive compensation and benefits, promoting diversity and inclusion, and adopting positive human capital management practices are critical components of our corporate strategy.

Health, Wellness and Safety

The safety of our employees is integral to our Company. Providing a safe and secure work environment is one of our highest priorities and we devote significant time and resources to workplace safety. Our safety programs are designed to comply with stringent regulatory requirements and to meet or exceed best practices in our industry. This commitment requires focus and dedication to fundamental aspects of our business to minimize the risk of accidents, injury, and exposure to health hazards.

In fiscal 2024, the Apogee Safety Council, which manages our enterprise-wide health and safety program, met regularly to review facility-level performance, maintain policies, and provide short- and long-term plans to achieve our ambition of achieving an accident incident rate of zero.

We will continue to utilize a safety culture assessment process along with safety compliance audits to monitor safety programs within our businesses. These annual assessments and audits provide suggestions for continuous improvement in safety programs and measure employee engagement. In addition, the programs encourage the development of a proactive, interdependent safety culture in which leadership and employees interact to ensure safety is viewed as everyone’s responsibility. Our leadership team and Board of Directors are briefed regularly on our safety performance metrics.

We offer comprehensive health and wellness programs for our employees. In addition to standard health programs including medical insurance and preventive care, we have a variety of resources available to employees relating to physical and mental wellness. We also conduct employee engagement surveys at the site level annually to hear directly from our employees with respect to what we are doing well, in addition to areas where they may need additional support.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our diversity, equity and inclusion program promotes a workplace where each employee’s abilities are recognized, respected, and utilized to further our goals. Our aim is to create an environment where people feel included as a part of a team because of their diversity of outlooks, perspectives, and characteristics and have an equal opportunity to add value to our Company. We strive to create a

28

culture of inclusion, reduce bias in our talent practices, and invest in and engage with our communities. We conduct diversity and Code of Conduct trainings with employees and managers annually to define our expectations on creating an inclusive and diverse workplace, where all individuals feel respected and part of a team regardless of their race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Talent Management and Development

Our talent management program is focused on developing employees and leaders to meet the Company’s evolving needs. Employees are able to track and manage their growth through a performance management system and managers actively engage with their employees to provide coaching and feedback, identify training and development opportunities to improve performance in the employee’s current role, and to position the employee for future growth. Training and development opportunities include new-hire training, job specific training, stretch assignments, and safety training. The Company also offers leadership development opportunities, such as our Apogee Leadership and Apogee Senior Leadership Programs, along with technical training for engineers, designers and sales staff. In addition, the Company offers an education assistance program in which certain eligible employees receive tuition reimbursement to help defray the costs associated with their continuing education. Our executive leadership and Human Resources teams regularly conduct talent reviews and succession planning to assist with meeting critical talent and leadership needs.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

We have established written policies and procedures (the “Related Person Transactions Policy”) to assist us in reviewing transactions in excess of $120,000 involving our Company and our subsidiaries and Related Persons (“Related Persons Transactions”). A Related Person includes our Company’s directors, director nominees, executive officers and beneficial owners of 5% or more of our Company’s common stock and their respective Immediate Family Members (as defined in our Related Person Transactions Policy). Our Related Person Transactions Policy supplements our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct Conflict of Interest Policy, which applies to all of our employees and directors.

Our Related Person Transactions Policy requires any Related Person Transaction to be promptly reported to the Chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In approving, ratifying or rejecting a Related Person Transaction, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider such information as it deems important to determine if the Related Person Transaction is fair to our Company. Our Conflict of Interest Policy requires our employees and directors to report to our General Counsel any potential conflict of interest situation involving any employee or director, or their Immediate Family Members. During fiscal 2024, there were no Related Party Transactions involving a Related Person, as defined in the policy.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements During Fiscal 2024

We structure director compensation to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors and to further align the interests of directors with the interests of our shareholders.

Our Board of Directors approves the compensation for members of our Board of Directors and Committees based on the recommendations of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We target compensation for service on our Board of Directors and Committees generally at the 50th percentile for board service at companies in our peer group of companies, using the same peer group used for executive compensation purposes. Generally, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and discusses the compensation data and analysis provided by management with assistance from the Company's independent compensation consultant. Our Chief Executive Officer participates in the discussions on compensation for members of our Board of Directors. Directors who are employees receive no additional compensation for serving on our Board of Directors.

The following table describes the compensation arrangements with our non-employee directors as of the end of fiscal 2024.

Compensation	Fiscal 2024
Annual Cash Retainers:
Independent Chair of the Board	$135,000
Board Member	65,000
Audit Committee Chair	30,000
Audit Committee Member	15,000
Compensation Committee Chair	25,000
Compensation Committee Member	10,000
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair	25,000
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Member	10,000
Annual Equity Grant Board of Directors Chair	135,000	(1)
Annual Equity Grant	105,000	(1)
Charitable Matching Contributions Program	$2,000 maximum aggregate annual match

_________________

(1)On June 21, 2023, we granted a restricted stock award of 3,098 shares to Mr. Nolan, having a value of approximately $135,000 on the date of grant, and restricted stock awards of 2,409 shares to each other non-employee director having a value of approximately $105,000 on the date of grant. The awards vest over three years in equal annual installments on the anniversaries of the grant date. See “Fiscal 2024 Non-Employee Director Compensation Table” beginning on page 32 for additional details.

Annual Equity Awards

Annual equity awards to non-employee directors, which may be restricted stock or restricted stock units, are issued pursuant to our 2019 Director Stock Plan. Each non-employee director receives a prorated award on or about the date they are first elected to our Board and annually on or about the date of our annual meeting of shareholders if their term continues after such meeting. The dollar value of the award is determined by our Board of Directors in June of each year, after recommendation by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and in consideration of various factors, including market data and trends. We target the equity-based compensation received by non-employee directors at approximately the 50th percentile of our peer group of companies. Equity awards generally vest in three equal annual installments over a three-year vesting period. Upon issuance of restricted stock, each holder is entitled to the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares of restricted stock. Generally, we issue restricted stock unit awards (instead of restricted stock awards) to our non-employee directors who are not residents of the United States. For restricted stock awards made pursuant to our 2019 Director Stock Plan, dividends or other distributions (whether cash, stock or

30

otherwise) will accrue during the vesting period and will be paid only upon vesting. Awards will be forfeited upon the termination of a director’s service, unless the director is terminated by the Company due to retirement, death or disability, in which case restricted stock will accelerate and vest. If a change in control (as defined in the 2019 Director Stock Plan) occurs, any award shall vest immediately.

Director Deferred Compensation Arrangements

Deferral of Equity Awards

In lieu of receiving a restricted stock award, non-employee directors have the option to receive a deferred restricted stock unit award, pursuant to the Restricted Stock Deferral Program adopted by our Board under our 2019 Director Stock Plan. By electing to receive a deferred restricted stock unit award, a director can defer receipt of all or a portion of any award. Each non-employee director who receives a deferred restricted stock unit award in lieu of an award receives a credit of shares of our common stock in an amount equal to the number of shares or units they would have received pursuant to the award. The account is also credited, as of the crediting date, with an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares or units credited to each account. Non-employee directors receiving a deferred restricted stock unit award may elect to receive the amounts credited to their account at a fixed date, at age 70, or following death or retirement from our Board of Directors. The deferred restricted stock unit awards and related accumulated dividends are paid out in the form of shares of our common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares) either in a lump sum or in installments, at the participating director’s election. This is an unfunded book-entry plan and no trust or other vehicle has been established to hold any shares of our common stock.

Deferral of Cash Retainers

Under our prior Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, which was in effect through December 31, 2021, participants could elect to defer all or a portion of their annual cash retainer into deferred stock accounts. There was no Company match on amounts deferred by our non-employee directors under such plan. Each participating director received a credit of shares of our common stock in an amount equal to the amount of annual cash retainer deferred divided by the fair market value of one share of our common stock as of the crediting date. These accounts also were credited, as of the crediting date, with an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares credited to each account. Participating directors may elect to receive the amounts credited to their accounts at a fixed date, at age 70, or following death or retirement from our Board of Directors. The deferred amounts are paid out in the form of shares of our common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares) either in a lump sum or in installments, at the participating director’s election. This plan is an unfunded, book-entry, “phantom stock unit” plan, as no trust or other vehicle has been established to hold any shares of our common stock.

Effective as of January 1, 2022, non-employee directors could elect to defer all or a portion of their annual cash retainer into the 2021 Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Under this plan, we credit a participant’s plan account with earnings based on the participant’s investment allocation among a menu of hypothetical investment fund options. An Apogee common stock fund is not one of the investment options available under this plan. Participants may elect to receive the amounts credited to their accounts at a fixed date or following retirement from our Board of Directors. Like the prior plan, all amounts paid under this plan are paid from our general assets and are subject to the claims of our creditors. The material terms of this plan are otherwise comparable to those of the prior plan.

Charitable Matching Contributions Program for Non-Employee Directors

Under our Charitable Matching Contributions Program for Non-Employee Directors, we match cash or publicly-traded stock contributions made by our non-employee directors to approved charitable organizations that are exempt from federal income tax up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2,000 per eligible non-employee director per calendar year.

Our Strategy. Our Company strategy is based on the following three key pillars:

1.Become the economic leader in our target markets. We will achieve this by developing a deep understanding of our target markets and aligning our businesses with clear go-to-market strategies to drive value for our customers through differentiated product and service offerings. We will also build a relentless focus on operational execution, driving productivity improvements, and maintaining a competitive cost structure, so that we may bring more value to our customers and improve our own profitability.

2.Actively manage our portfolio to drive higher margins and returns. We intend to shift our business mix toward higher operating margins offerings and improve our return on invested capital performance. We will accomplish this by allocating resources to grow our top performing businesses, actively addressing underperforming businesses, and investing to add new differentiated product and service offerings to accelerate our growth.

3.Strengthen our core capabilities. We are shifting from our historical, decentralized operating model, to one with center-led functional expertise that enables us to leverage the scale of the enterprise to better support the needs of the business. We are establishing a Company-wide operating system with common tools and processes that are based on the foundation of Lean and Continuous Improvement, which we call the Apogee Management System. Our strategy is supported by a robust talent management program and a commitment to strong governance to ensure compliance and drive sustainable performance.

36

We set this strategy by developing a deep knowledge of the markets we served and by gaining extensive input from customers and industry influencers, along with detailed competitive benchmarking. We will continually analyze our portfolio of products, services, and capabilities to identify the best areas for future profitable growth. We will also continue to evaluate our operating model to ensure we have the organizational structure and capabilities needed to deliver consistent profitable growth. Through this work, we will continue to validate strengths that we can leverage and will continue to identify opportunities to improve our performance.

To measure our progress, in fiscal 2022, we established three consolidated enterprise financial targets, and established a goal to achieve each by the end of fiscal 2025:

•adjusted Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") greater than 12%;

•adjusted operating margin greater than 10%; and

•net sales growth greater than 1.2 times the overall non-residential construction market.

In fiscal 2024, we drove further progress toward our strategic goals and these financial targets. We continued the deployment of the Apogee Management System across our business, which resulted in sustainable cost and productivity improvements. We invested in organic growth initiatives in Large-Scale Optical and geographic growth in Architectural Services. We increased our focus on differentiated products and services, and effectively managed pricing to share in the value we delivered for our customers. We advanced several initiatives to strengthen our core capabilities, driving the standardization of key business processes and systems. We continued our talent development and leadership training programs through the Apogee Leadership and Apogee Senior Leadership Programs and added key talent across the organization.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported financial results of the Company in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently from us, thereby limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with others.

Adjusted ROIC is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as adjusted operating income net of tax, divided by average invested capital. We believe this measure is useful in understanding operational performance and capital allocation over time.

Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are used by the Company to provide meaningful supplemental information about its operating performance by excluding amounts that are not considered part of core operating results to enhance comparability of results from period to period.

Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net earnings excluding interest expense and income tax expense, including certain non-GAAP adjustments. Segment Adjusted EBIT includes operating income related to intersegment sales transactions and other income and expense related to the segment and excludes certain corporate costs that are not allocated at a segment level. We believe these measures are useful in understanding operational profitability over time.

37

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Practices. Our compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain executive talent to achieve success in both the short-term and long-term for our Company; pay for sustainable performance in an ever-changing environment; and align the interests of our executive officers with our shareholders. We continue to refine our executive compensation program to reflect changes in our business strategy and evolving executive compensation practices.

Our Executive Compensation Practices: (What We Do)	Beginning on Page	Executive Compensation Practices We Have Not Implemented or Have Discontinued: (What We Don’t Do)	Beginning on Page
We seek alignment of pay and performance each year. A significant portion of our compensation program is performance-based through the use of our short-term and long-term incentive plans.	39	Other than an initial employment agreement with Mr. Silberhorn and an offer letter with Mr. Osberg when they were hired, we do not have employment contracts for our Named Executive Officers.	53
We review “tally sheets” and realizable pay and performance for our Named Executive Officers and use that information as a factor in making compensation decisions.	44	We generally do not pay annual incentive compensation if our Company is not profitable for the year.	46
We mitigate undue compensation risk by utilizing caps on potential payments, multiple financial performance metrics, and different metrics for our annual cash incentives and long-term performance awards, as well as having robust Board and Board Committee processes to identify and manage risk.	55	We do not believe any of our Company’s compensation programs create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.	55
We have change-in-control severance agreements with all of our Named Executive Officers that provide benefits only upon a “double trigger.”	68	We do not provide for excise tax “gross-ups” or “single triggers” in our change-in-control severance agreements.	68
We have adopted share ownership guidelines, and we review compliance annually.	54	We do not reprice underwater stock options or stock appreciation rights.
We evaluate share utilization by annually reviewing overhang and burn rates.	45	We do not pay dividends during the restricted periods on unvested equity awards made pursuant to our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan.	50
The Compensation Committee benefits from its utilization of a compensation consulting firm that fully meets the stringent independence requirements under the final rules of the Dodd-Frank Act.	44	The Compensation Committee affirmatively concludes that its compensation consultant is independent on an annual basis.	44
We have clawback policies that comply with Nasdaq listing standards and go beyond that to cover a broader population of participants in our executive compensation program.	54	We do not provide tax reimbursement or tax “gross-ups” on any perquisites.	53
We have an anti-hedging policy that prohibits all employees and directors from engaging in hedging transactions in our Company’s securities, and an anti-pledging policy that prohibits executive officers and directors from pledging our shares as collateral for indebtedness.	54

39

Our Executive Compensation Program. Total compensation for our executive officers includes a mix of short-term and long-term incentive compensation, and fixed and performance-based compensation. The charts below illustrate the fiscal 2024 target mix of short-term and long-term incentives, and fixed and performance-based compensation, for Mr. Silberhorn and our Other Named Executive Officers. This information is used by the Committee as a guideline in making compensation awards for our Named Executive Officers.

The Role of Shareholder Vote on Say on Pay Proposal. Our Company provides our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on our Say on Pay Proposal annually. At our Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 21, 2023, 96.25% of the votes cast on the Say on Pay Proposal were voted in favor of ratification of the proposal. The Committee did not make any changes to its programs in response to this vote. The Committee will consider the outcome of our Company’s Say on Pay Proposal when making future compensation decisions.

The Role of Shareholder Vote on Say on Frequency Proposal. At our Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 21, 2023, the majority of the votes cast on the Say on Frequency Proposal were voted in favor of an annual Say on Pay vote. The Company will continue to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on our Say on Pay Proposal annually.

Highlights of Fiscal 2024 Compensation Actions. The following section highlights the Committee’s key compensation decisions for fiscal 2024. These decisions were made after the Committee reviewed compensation data provided by its independent compensation consultant.

•Base Salaries. For fiscal 2024, Mr. Silberhorn, our Chief Executive Officer received a base salary increase of 7.14%. Among our Other Named Executive Officers, Messrs. Longman, Dobler and Jewell received base salary increases ranging from 3.23% to 4.92%. Mr. Osberg, who joined the Company during fiscal 2024, did not receive a base salary increase. See "Fiscal 2024 Individual Compensation Actions" beginning on page 45 for a discussion of factors considering in establishing base salaries and subsequent increases.

•Annual Cash Incentive Payouts. Our annual cash incentive awards are designed to reward achievement of financial goals established in our annual operating plan. For Messrs. Silberhorn, Osberg and Dobler, whose payouts were based on consolidated performance metrics, the fiscal 2024 annual cash incentive paid out at 163.86% of target. For Messrs. Longman and Jewell, whose payouts were based on segment as well as consolidated performance metrics, the fiscal 2024 annual cash incentive paid out at 197.25% and 47.25% of target, respectively. See “Fiscal 2024 Annual Cash Incentive Payouts” on page 47 for a discussion of the metrics, goals and amounts paid to our Named Executive Officers for our annual cash incentive awards in fiscal 2024.

•Long-Term Incentive Awards. Our long-term incentive program for Messrs.

Overview of Primary Compensation Elements

The table below provides an overview of the three primary compensation elements of our executive compensation program in fiscal 2024.

Compensation Element	Objective	How Determined	Market Positioning(1)	How Impacted by Performance
Base Salary and Benefits	Attract and retain executive officers through competitive pay and benefit programs.	Individual performance, experience, tenure, competitive market data and trends, internal equity and executive potential.	Targeted to be around the 50th percentile of base salary and benefits for comparable roles at peers.	Adjusted based on factors including individual performance.
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation (Short-Term Incentive)	Create an incentive for the achievement of pre-defined annual Company financial performance results.	A percentage of base salary based on competitive market data and trends, and internal equity. For actual bonus payouts – performance against pre-established criteria in our annual cash incentive plan.	Targeted to be slightly below the 50th percentile for total cash compensation.	Payout dependent on achievement of one-year Company financial performance goals.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation(2) •Restricted Stock (50%); and •Performance Awards (50%)	Align the interests of executives with shareholders and focus executives on achieving long-term sustained performance, entrepreneurship and delivery of quality products and services, while creating appropriate retention incentives through the use of multi-year vesting schedules.	Individual performance, company performance, market data and trends, internal equity and executive potential. New hire, promotion and special awards. Internal equity and market data and trends.	Targeted generally to be at or slightly above the 50th percentile for target performance.	Performance that increases our stock price increases the value of the restricted stock awards and the stock settled portion of the performance awards.

___________________________

(1)Actual pay levels may be above or below the targeted level depending on actual performance.

(2)In fiscal 2024, Mr. Silberhorn’s long-term incentive awards consisted of 40% time-based restricted stock and 60% as a performance award.

Compensation Process

Our executive compensation program is evaluated annually taking into consideration changes to our business strategy and annual operating plan, the economy and our competitive marketplace, a robust strategic goal setting process, and evolving executive compensation practices.

During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the performance of each of our Named Executive Officers is evaluated based on a subjective assessment of: (i) their executive leadership; (ii) enterprise competencies; and (iii) achievement of agreed-upon individual business objectives for the just-completed fiscal year. The annual performance evaluation of our Chief Executive Officer is administered by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with all non-employee directors participating in the performance evaluation, and the results of the Chief Executive Officer’s annual performance evaluation is reviewed by the Committee and our full Board. Our Chief Executive Officer conducts or participates in the annual performance evaluation of our Other Named Executive Officers and reviews the results with members of the Committee.

43

In establishing the elements and levels of compensation for a fiscal year, the Committee considers the annual performance evaluations of our Named Executive Officers and reviews its compensation consultant’s independent analyses of compensation based on comparable positions, using both published survey sources and company peer group data to determine our competitive positioning relative to the market. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Committee on compensation for our Other Named Executive Officers, but does not participate in the determination of his own compensation.

The Committee continuously monitors our compensation programs and annually reviews a compensation “tally sheet,” which lists total direct compensation (base salary, annual cash incentive compensation, and long-term incentive awards), perquisites, other elements of executive compensation, broad-based employee benefits and wealth accumulation through our Company equity and retirement plans for our Named Executive Officers; however, the compensation tally sheets are not used to make actual pay decisions. The Committee assesses historical pay and performance to ensure continued alignment of our compensation programs.

Consulting Assistance, Peer Group and Competitive Market

Compensation Consultant Independence. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain independent compensation consultants to provide counsel and advice regarding compensation levels for our executive officers and related matters. The Committee retained the services of Willis Tower Watson (“WTW”) for fiscal 2024. The compensation consultant reports directly to the Committee, and the Committee can replace the compensation consultant or hire additional consultants at any time. During fiscal 2024, WTW attended each Committee meeting in person or by video conference, including executive sessions as requested, and consulted with the Chair of the Committee between meetings.

As required under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Committee has analyzed whether the work of WTW, as its compensation consultant, raises any conflict of interest, taking into consideration the following factors under the Nasdaq listing rules: (i) WTW does not provide any other services to our Company, except that WTW provided brokerage services for the Company’s property insurance and surety bonds in exchange for fees less than $120,000 in fiscal 2024; (ii) the amount of fees from our Company paid to WTW is less than 1% of WTW’s total revenue; (iii) WTW’s policies and procedures are designed to ensure independence; (iv) neither WTW, nor any member of its consulting team, has any business or personal relationship with any executive officer of our Company, and no member of their consulting team has any business or personal relationship with any member of the Committee; and (v) neither WTW, nor any member of its consulting team, owns any stock of our Company.

The Committee has determined, based on its analysis of the above factors, that WTW is independent of our Company and the work of WTW (and the individual compensation advisors employed by WTW) as compensation consultants to the Committee, and the additional services provided by WTW, have not created a conflict of interest. The Committee will continue to annually monitor the independence of its compensation consultant.

Peer Group. The selection criteria identified for determining and reviewing our Company’s peer group generally include:

•Companies with revenue within a similar range (0.33 to 3.0 multiple).

•Companies with market capitalization within a similar range (0.33 to 3.0 multiple).

•Companies with market capitalization to revenue ratio of 0.5 or greater.

•Companies in the same or similar industries.

•Companies with business model similarity, which may include the following:

–Coatings for special purposes;

–Construction materials, primarily for commercial or industrial applications;

–Specialized/customized product lines;

–Heavy-duty manufacturing operations and project-directed manufacturing; and

–Project-based businesses.

•Companies in the same geographic location (to a lesser degree).

44

•Companies included in the prior-year peer group, to help ensure year-over-year consistency (where appropriate).

Based on the foregoing selection criteria, LCI Industries was replaced by Insteel Industries, Inc. for fiscal 2024.

The following 15 firms served as the Company’s peer group for fiscal 2024.

•American Woodmark Corporation	•H.B. Fuller Company
•Armstrong World Industries, Inc.	•Insteel Industries, Inc.
•AZZ Inc.	•Masonite International Corporation
•Eagle Materials Inc.	•PGT Innovations, Inc.
•EnPro Industries, Inc.	•Quaker Chemical Corporation
•Gibraltar Industries, Inc.	•Quanex Building Products Corporation
•Graco Inc.	•Tennant Company
•Griffon Corporation

Competitive Market. The Committee relies on its independent compensation consultant to help define the appropriate competitive market using a combination of the peer group companies and compensation surveys that contain market compensation information for similarly-sized organizations. The information on the competitive market is used by the Committee:

•As an input in designing our compensation plans and philosophy;

•As an input in assessing and developing base salary adjustments, annual cash incentive targets and long-term incentive ranges;

•To benchmark the form and mix of long-term incentive awards;

•To assess the competitiveness of total direct compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers and certain of our other executives; and

•To benchmark dilution and overhang levels (dilutive impact on our shareholders of equity compensation) and annual burn rate (the aggregate shares awarded as a percentage of total outstanding shares).

Fiscal 2024 Individual Compensation Actions

Base Salary. Base salary reflects a fixed portion of the overall compensation package and is the base amount from which certain other compensation elements are determined. In making salary adjustments, the Committee considers the executive’s base salary relative to the market, our compensation philosophy and other factors, such as individual performance against business plans, leadership, initiatives, experience, knowledge and job criticality. For fiscal 2024, our Chief Executive Officer received a base salary increase of 7.14%. Messrs. Longman, Dobler, and Jewell received base salary increases ranging from 3.23% to 4.92%, and Mr. Augdahl received base salary increases totaling 20.29% that included a 16.1% increase for his appointment as Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Osberg, who joined the Company during fiscal 2024, did not receive a base salary increase.

45

Below is information on the base salaries of our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2024.

Base Salary
Name	Fiscal 2024 Base Salary ($)	Percent Increase in Fiscal 2024 vs 2023 (%)
Ty R. Silberhorn	900,000	7.14
Matthew J. Osberg	630,000	N/A
Nicholas C. Longman	448,000	4.92
Curtis J. Dobler	416,000	3.23
Brent C. Jewell	443,000	3.99
Mark R. Augdahl	335,000	20.29

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation. Annual cash incentive awards create an incentive for achievement of annual financial performance results. These results are measured against objective financial goals set forth in the annual operating plan approved by our Board of Directors.

The awards may be earned below or above target based on the achievement of one or more additional predetermined, objective performance goals based on the annual operating plan approved by our Board of Directors. At least one of the predetermined, objective performance goals must be met at the threshold level in order for any annual cash incentive to be paid to an executive.

Generally, if actual results are below threshold performance level for all performance goals or the Company is not profitable, the payout will be zero. If the threshold performance level for one or more, but not all, performance goals is achieved, less than 50% of the target award will be earned based on the weighting allocated to that specific performance goal. If the threshold performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 50% of the target award will be earned; if target performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 100% of the target award will be earned; and if maximum performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 200% of the target award will be earned. For any performance between these levels, awards will be interpolated.

For the first three months of fiscal 2024 when he acted as Interim Chief Financial Officer and then Vice President, Finance, of the Glass Segment, Mr. Augdahl had two predetermined, objective performance goals and one goal based on achievement of personal goals. The Glass Segment's Adjusted EBIT performance goal had to be met at the threshold level for Mr. Augdahl to earn any payout based on the Glass Segment's net sales performance. If maximum performance level for all goals was achieved, Mr. Augdahl would earn 150% of the target award. For the remaining nine months of fiscal 2024, after he was appointed as Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Augdahl's annual cash incentive compensation had the same payout ranges as described in the previous paragraphs for our Other Named Executive Officers.

Consolidated and Segment Adjusted EBIT are non-GAAP measures which are further defined on page 37, and reconciled to GAAP operating income in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Segment net sales is defined as net sales for a certain segment and includes revenue related to intersegment transactions.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Our long-term incentive program is designed to align the interests of executives with shareholders and to focus executives on the achievement of long-term sustained performance, entrepreneurship, and delivery of quality products and services, while creating appropriate retention incentives through the use of multi-year vesting schedules.

In fiscal 2024, our long-term incentive program for our Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Silberhorn) was comprised of 50% time-based restricted stock awards and 50% performance awards with a three-year performance period, each described in more detail below. Mr. Silberhorn’s long-term incentive award in fiscal 2024 consisted of 40% time-based restricted stock and 60% as a performance award.

Dividends or other distributions (whether cash, stock or otherwise) with respect to the awards will accrue during the three-year vesting or other performance period and will be paid only on the shares earned at the end of the period when shares are issued.

Restricted Stock Awards. Each year, the Committee approves a time-based restricted stock award for each executive with a preliminary target fixed dollar value based on a percentage of base salary, after reviewing long-term incentives for comparable roles at peer companies, based on data provided by the independent compensation consultant. For our Chief Executive Officer, the Committee determines the award’s value after considering the results of our Chief Executive Officer’s most recent annual performance evaluation. For our Other Named Executive Officers, our Chief Executive Officer recommends to the Committee increases or decreases in the award’s value based on the executive’s contributions to the Company’s performance, future leadership potential, and subjective evaluation of their individual performance for the just completed fiscal year.

Restricted stock awards are granted under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, and they generally vest in three equal annual installments commencing on April 30 of the year following the date of the award. Upon issuance of the restricted stock, each holder is entitled to the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares of restricted stock. Restricted stock awards issued pursuant to the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan accrue dividends and other distributions during the vesting period, which will be paid only if the restricted stock vests. The following table summarizes the restricted stock awards granted to each of the Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2024.

Fiscal 2024 Restricted Stock Awards
Name	Restricted Stock Awarded (#)	Value of Award ($)(1)	Percentage of Fiscal 2024 Salary (%)	Grant Price ($)(2)

The annual long-term incentive awards were made on April 19, 2023 for the Named Executive Officers except for Mr. Osberg, and for Mr. Osberg, on his April 28, 2023 hire date.

(2)The closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant.

(3)In addition to Mr. Osberg's long-term incentive award described in footnote (1), the Offer Letter also provided for the grant to Mr. Osberg of $600,000 worth of time-based restricted shares of the Company's stock, based on the closing price on Mr. Osberg's April 28, 2023 hire date.

(4)In addition to their annual long-term incentive awards described in footnote (1), in connection with the reassignments of Mr. Jewell to President of the Glass Segment, and Mr. Longman to President of the AFS Segment, effective as of October 18, 2023, the Company granted them each 2,200 restricted shares with a grant date fair value of $43.43. Assuming continued employment with the Company, one-half of the restricted shares will vest annually over two years, starting on the one-year anniversary of the appointments.

(5)Included in his annual long-term incentive award described in footnote (1), in consideration for his service as our Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Augdahl received a restricted stock award on April 19, 2023 with a grant date fair value of $150,020. The restricted stock award vests over three years in equal annual installments on April 30, 2024; April 30, 2025; and April 30, 2026. In connection with his promotion to Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Augdahl received a restricted stock award on June 21, 2023 with a grant date fair value of $52,427. The restricted stock award vests over three years in annual installments on June 21, 2024; April 30, 2025; and April 30, 2026.

Performance Awards. During fiscal 2022, our Compensation Committee adopted a new long-term incentive plan for our executive officers which includes performance awards with a three-year performance period. The Compensation Committee issues performance awards annually, with a new, overlapping three-year performance period beginning with each fiscal year’s award. The Compensation Committee adopted the three-year performance awards to replace the two-year end-to-end awards that the Company historically issued (other than in fiscal 2021, when the Compensation Committee awarded stock options because the Compensation Committee did not believe it could establish effective long-term financial performance goals due to the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic) to better align the Company’s long-term incentive plan with market practice and the Company’s strategic plan and financial performance goals.

The Compensation Committee awarded performance awards with a three-year performance period of fiscal 2024 – 2026 to the Named Executive Officers. All performance awards were granted under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan. The performance metric for the awards is average Adjusted ROIC over the three-year performance period, with a target average Adjusted ROIC of 14.64%. The performance awards will settle 50% in cash and 50% in stock. The following table sets forth payout ranges as a percentage of salary at threshold, target and maximum performance with respect to our fiscal 2024 – 2026 performance awards.

Fiscal 2022 – 2024 Performance Award Payouts. Performance awards having a three-year performance period through the end of fiscal 2024 were settled 50% in shares and 50% in cash. The performance metric for the awards was average Adjusted ROIC over the three-year performance period, with a target average Adjusted ROIC of 10.33. The following table outlines the threshold, target and maximum for these performance awards, as well as actual performance and the percentage of the performance awards achieved. Performance was above the maximum level for the three-year performance period.

Other Benefit Programs. Our executive officers receive the same health and welfare benefits as those offered to all other full-time employees, with the exception of enhanced long-term disability benefits being offered to our executive officers. Additionally, our executive officers may participate in our voluntary non-qualified deferred compensation plan, as described under the heading “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” beginning on page 64.

We have entered into change-in-control severance agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers. See “Change-in-Control Severance Agreements” beginning on page 68 and “Payments Upon Termination and Change-in-Control” beginning on page 69 for more information on these arrangements.

In order to maintain market-competitive benefits and to encourage our Named Executive Officers to focus on their roles at the Company, we provide a limited number of perquisites, including the reimbursement of financial and estate planning fees of up to $2,000 annually, enhanced long-term disability benefits, payment of relocation expenses, reimbursement of annual executive health physical costs up to $3,000 annually and reimbursement of spousal travel expenses for certain Company events. We do not provide tax reimbursement or tax “gross-ups” on any perquisites.

Silberhorn Employment Agreement. In connection with his assumption of the Chief Executive Officer role, Mr. Silberhorn entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with the Company effective as of January 4, 2021 (the “Commencement Date”).

The Employment Agreement had a three-year term, ending on January 4, 2024 (the “Term”).

53

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers that require our Chief Executive Officer to achieve an ownership level of five times their annual base salary; our Chief Financial Officer to achieve an ownership level of three times their annual base salary; certain corporate officers and segment presidents, including Messrs. Longman, Dobler and Jewell, to achieve an ownership level of two times their annual base salaries; and other corporate officers, including Mr. Augdahl, to achieve an ownership level of one time their annual base salary. The Committee monitors compliance with our stock ownership guidelines on a regular basis. Each executive has five years from the date they become subject to the stock ownership guidelines to meet their ownership guideline. If an executive is promoted and the target is increased, an additional three-year period is provided to meet the ownership guideline. For purposes of calculating stock ownership, we include unvested shares of restricted stock but do not include unexercised stock option awards.

As of April 22, 2024, all of our active Named Executive Officers are either in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines or still within the applicable grace period for achieving these ownership levels.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

Our Board of Directors believes that the interests of our executive officers, employees and members of our Board of Directors should be aligned with the interests of our shareholders. As a result, we have adopted an anti-hedging policy that prohibits all employees and members of our Board of Directors from engaging in the purchase or sale of financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our Company’s securities. Our Board of Directors has also adopted an anti-pledging policy, which states that executive officers and directors of the Company are prohibited from, directly or indirectly, pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise encumbering shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for indebtedness. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, holding such shares in a margin account or any other account that could cause the Company’s common stock to be subject to a margin call or otherwise be available as collateral for a margin loan. None of our Named Executive Officers have pledged shares of our common stock as collateral for personal loans or other obligations.

Clawback Policy

In October 2023, our Board of Directors adopted an incentive compensation recovery policy providing for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws and to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company has also adopted a similar policy for other participants of the executive compensation program. Both policies apply to incentive compensation (as defined in the policies) awarded on or after October 2, 2023. Incentive compensation received by executives before October 2, 2023 remains subject to the Company’s prior Clawback Policy dated April 30, 2014, as amended.

Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code ("Section 162(m)") imposes a $1,000,000 annual deduction limit on compensation payable to certain current and former named executive officers. The Compensation Committee intends to pay competitive compensation consistent with our philosophy to attract, retain and motivate executive officers to manage our business in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Compensation Committee, therefore, may choose to provide non-deductible compensation to our executive officers if it deems such compensation to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

Various programs, including our benefit plans that provide for deferrals of compensation are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. We have reviewed such plans for compliance with Section 409A and believe that they comply.

54

Compensation Risk Analysis

During fiscal 2024 the Committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant(s) and management, assessed risk in our compensation plans, practices and policies and determined that the Company’s compensation practices and policies do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In performing this risk assessment, the Committee considered:

•The mix of fixed and variable compensation;

•The mix of short-term and long-term incentive compensation;

•The extent to which performance metrics are directly reflected in our audited financial statements or other objective reports;

•The relative weighting of the performance metrics;

•The likelihood that achievement of performance metrics could have a material impact on our financial performance in succeeding fiscal periods;

•The various compensation risk control mitigation features in our compensation plans, including balanced financial performance metrics that include net sales, earnings and operational metrics;

•Multiple financial performance metrics for our annual cash incentive and long-term incentive plans;

•Different financial performance metrics for our annual cash incentive and long-term incentive plans;

•Appropriate maximum caps on our annual cash incentive and long-term performance-based incentive plans and annual equity awards;

•Management stock ownership guidelines; and

•Our clawback and hedging policies.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

Deferred Compensation Plan

Our Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management and other highly compensated employees of our Company and our subsidiaries, including our Named Executive Officers. For the 2023, 2022 and 2021 calendar years, approximately 145, 224 and 243 of our employees, respectively, were eligible to participate in our Deferred Compensation Plan and approximately 136 employees are eligible for the 2024 calendar year. Our Deferred Compensation Plan allows for deferrals by participants of up to 75% of base salary and sales commissions, and up to 100% of bonuses and other cash or equity-based compensation approved by the Committee, and also provides that we may establish rules permitting a participant to defer performance-based compensation up to six months prior to the end of a performance period. There is no maximum dollar limit on the amount that may be deferred by a participant each year. A participant in our Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to have the participant’s account credited with earnings and investment gains and losses by assuming that deferred amounts were invested in one or more of 17 hypothetical investment fund options selected by the participant, which had investment returns ranging from 3.69% to 36.09% for calendar 2023. An Apogee common stock fund is not one of the investment options available under our Deferred Compensation Plan. Participants are permitted to change their investment elections at any time. We may also make discretionary contributions to a participant’s account under our Deferred Compensation Plan, and our Company will designate a vesting schedule for each such contribution. The participants are always 100% vested in the amount they defer, and the earnings, gains and losses credited to their accounts. Participants are entitled to receive a distribution from their account upon: a separation from service, a specified date, death, disability, retirement (as defined in our Deferred Compensation Plan), or unforeseeable emergency that results in “severe financial hardship” that is consistent with the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Distributions are in a lump sum, installments or a combination of lump sum with installments based upon the participant’s election as allowed under our Deferred

64

Compensation Plan. Our Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded obligation of Apogee, and participants are unsecured creditors of Apogee.

Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan

Our Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan") is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management and other highly compensated employees of our Company and our subsidiaries; however, in October 2010, the plan was amended to prohibit any future participant deferrals to the plan after our fiscal 2011. Our Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan allowed for deferrals by participants of up to 100% of bonuses. A participant in our Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to have the participant's account credited with the applicable interest rate as set forth in the plan or credited with earnings and investment gains and losses by assuming the deferred amounts were invested in one or more of 17 hypothetical investment fund options selected by the participant, which had investment returns ranging from 3.69% to 36.09% for calendar year 2023. For amounts deferred for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, the applicable interest rate, which is not considered to be an “above-market” interest rate, is the monthly average yield for the last calendar month of the prior fiscal year on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 10 years. For amounts deferred for plan years beginning prior to January 1, 2010, the applicable interest rate, which may be considered to be an “above-market” interest rate, is the greater of the following rates: (i) the sum of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) plus the monthly average yield for the last calendar month of the prior fiscal year on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 10 years; or (ii) one-half of the rate of Apogee's after-tax return on beginning shareholders' equity for the prior fiscal year. Participants are entitled to receive a distribution from their account upon termination of employment (as defined in our Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan), disability, death, retirement (as defined in our Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan), or unforeseeable emergency that results in “severe financial hardship” that is consistent with the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Distributions are in either a lump sum or installments based on participant elections as allowed under our Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan. Our Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded obligation of Apogee, and participants are unsecured creditors of Apogee.

___________________________

(1)Pursuant to SEC rules, all earnings on non-qualified deferred compensation during fiscal 2024 in excess of 4.50%, 120% of the applicable federal rate compounded annually, have been deemed “above-market earnings.” During fiscal 2024, the interest paid on amounts deferred for plan years beginning prior to January 1, 2010 pursuant to our Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan was 13.48%. This amount is reported in the “Change in Pension Value and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” beginning on page 56.

(2)The amount reported for Mr. Augdahl is reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” beginning on page 56 for fiscal 2024 in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column. The amount reported for Mr. Augdahl for our Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan is not reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 56, because all of these amounts were earned by him prior to fiscal 2023.

(3)The amount reported for Mr. Longman is reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” beginning on page 56 in the “Salary” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns for fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Following a Change-in-Control

Except as discussed below, if the employment of any of our Named Executive Officers is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated, no additional payments or benefits will accrue or be owed to them, other than what the Named Executive Officer has accrued and vested under our benefit plans, including under the heading “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” discussed above.

Except as discussed below, or in connection with a change-in-control, a voluntary or involuntary termination will not trigger an acceleration of the vesting of any outstanding equity awards, subject to the Compensation Committee’s discretion to accelerate the awards.

66

Retirement

In the event a Named Executive Officer retires, the Compensation Committee may exercise its discretion to accelerate the vesting of their stock options and restricted stock awards. In the event a Named Executive Officer retires prior to the end of a performance period for a performance award, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive a pro-rata payment (based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the performance period and the date of termination) after the end of the performance period based on the level of achievement of the performance metric. In the event a Named Executive Officer retires after the performance period, they will be entitled to receive, if not yet paid, the performance award.

Payments Made Upon Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason

In connection with Mr. Silberhorn's appointment as Chief Executive Officer effective January 4, 2021, to replace forfeited compensation earned by him at his previous employer, he received restricted stock of the Company valued at $1,400,000, which vests in two installments over a five-year period, with the first installment of $500,000 vesting on January 4, 2023, and the second installment of $900,000 vesting on January 4, 2026 (the "Retention Grant Agreement"). If Mr. Silberhorn's employment is terminated within five years of the Commencement Date (as defined in the Retention Grant Agreement) by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in the Retention Grant Agreement) or by him for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Retention Grant Agreement), Mr. Silberhorn shall be entitled to automatic acceleration of any unvested shares of the Retention Grant Agreement.

Payments Made Upon Disability

Under the terms of the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Plans, each of our Named Executive Officers who participates in such plans is eligible for a disability benefit. All Named Executive Officers are eligible for and have elected to participate in our enhanced Long-Term Disability Plan, and are eligible for a disability benefit that is equal to 100% of their monthly base salary during the first three months of disability and 60% of their monthly base salary up to a maximum of $15,000 per month thereafter.

If the employment of any of our Named Executive Officers is terminated due to disability, the terms of our restricted stock agreements provide for the immediate vesting of such awards. In the event employment is terminated prior to the end of a performance period for a performance award, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive a pro-rata payment (based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the performance period and the date of termination) after the end of the performance period based on the level of achievement of the performance metric. In the event employment is terminated after the performance period, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive, if not yet paid, the performance award.

If Mr. Silberhorn's employment is terminated because Mr. Silberhorn dies or becomes “Totally Disabled” (as defined in the Retention Grant Agreement), Mr. Silberhorn or his spouse or estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to automatic acceleration of any unvested shares of the Retention Grant Agreement, which is discussed under "Payments Made Upon Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason."

Payments Made Upon Death

The terms of our restricted stock agreements provide for the immediate vesting of such awards in the event of the Named Executive Officer’s death.

In the event of death prior to the end of a performance period for a performance award, the Named Executive Officer’s estate will be entitled to receive a pro-rata payment (based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the performance period and the date of death) after the end of the performance period based on the level of achievement of the performance metric. In the event of death after the performance period, the Named Executive Officer’s estate will be entitled to receive, if not yet paid, the performance award.

See the description of payments due to Mr. Silberhorn’s spouse or estate upon his death under the Retention Grant Agreement, as described in the foregoing section “Payments Made Upon Disability.”

67

Change-in-Control Severance Agreements

The Committee believes that offering a change-in-control program provides executive officers a degree of security in the event of a corporate transaction and allows for better alignment of executive officer and shareholder interests. We have entered into a change-in-control severance agreement (the “CIC Severance Agreement”) with each of our Named Executive Officers. Our CIC Severance Agreement is designed to retain our executive officers and provide for continuity of management in the event of an actual or threatened “Change-in-Control of Apogee” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement).

Our CIC Severance Agreement contains a “double trigger” for benefits, which means that there must be both a “Change-in-Control of Apogee” and a termination of the executive’s employment for the provisions to apply. It provides that, in the event of a “Change-in-Control of Apogee,” each of our Named Executive Officers will have specific rights and receive specified benefits if the executive officer is terminated without “Cause” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement) or the executive officer voluntarily terminates their employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement) within two-years after the “Change-in-Control of Apogee.” In these circumstances, our Named Executive Officers will each receive a severance payment equal to two times their annual base salary and annual cash incentive at target level performance for such fiscal year. For Messrs. Silberhorn, Osberg, Longman, Dobler and Jewell, our CIC Severance Agreement provides that, for a 24-month period following a “Change-in-Control of Apogee,” our Company will continue to provide medical and dental insurance coverage for the executive officer and the executive officer’s dependents or will reimburse the executive officer for the cost of obtaining substantially similar benefits. For Mr. Augdahl, our CIC Severance Agreement provides that, for a 12-month period following a "Change-in-Control of Apogee," our Company will continue to provide medical and dental insurance coverage for the executive officer and the executive officer's dependents or will reimburse the executive officer for the cost of obtaining substantially similar benefits. No benefits will be paid to the executive officer pursuant to the CIC Severance Agreement unless the executive officer executes and delivers to Apogee a release of claims. Subject to the double trigger described above, all shares of restricted stock that have not vested by the Employment Termination Date will vest. For performance awards, the performance period will end on the date of the "Change-in-Control of Apogee," and the award will be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. If a "Change-in-Control of Apogee" occurs after the performance period, the Company will pay any unpaid amount earned during the performance period.

We do not provide a tax gross-up payment for any excise tax liability under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999 related to Section 280G excess parachute payments.

Our CIC Severance Agreements contain a “best-net-benefit” provision which provides that, in the event that payments under the CIC Severance Agreements trigger excise tax for the Named Executive Officer, such officer has the option of either reducing the severance payment, if the net benefit is greater than paying the excise tax, or paying the excise tax themselves.

To receive these severance benefits, the executive officer shall not: (1) solicit, directly or indirectly, any of our existing or prospective customers, vendors or suppliers for a purpose competitive to our business or to encourage such customers, vendors or suppliers to terminate business with us; (2) solicit, directly or indirectly, any of our employees to terminate their employment; or (3) engage in or carry on, directly or indirectly, in certain geographic markets a business competitive with our business, for a period of 12- or 24-months following termination of employment.

The CIC Severance Agreements continue through December 31 of each year and provide for automatic extension for one-year terms prior to a "Change-in-Control of Apogee" unless we give prior notice of termination.

68

Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

The table below shows potential payments to our Named Executive Officers upon certain terminations pursuant to disability, death or a change-in-control of our Company, as well as potential payments to Mr. Silberhorn upon termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason” (as defined in his Retention Grant Agreement). The table below assumes that disability, death or the termination of employment occurred, or the "Change-in-Control of Apogee" was effective as of March 1, 2024, the last trading day of fiscal 2024. The amounts shown are estimates of the amounts that would be paid to the Named Executive Officers upon termination of employment or the change-in-control, in addition to the base salary and bonus earned by our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2024. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the actual time of a Named Executive Officer’s termination of employment.

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Silberhorn, our Chief Executive Officer and President:

For the fiscal year ended March 2, 2024, our last completed fiscal year:

•the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than our Chief Executive Officer) was $58,192; and

•the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, as reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” beginning on page 56 of this Proxy Statement, was $5,498,397.

We reasonably estimate that the ratio of our Chief Executive Officer’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 94 times. Our pay ratio estimate has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates that we used were as follows:

We determined that, as of December 31, 2023, our employee population consisted of 4,728 individuals (including full-time and part-time employees, other than our Chief Executive Officer, who were employed on December 31, 2023) working at the Company together with our consolidated subsidiaries. Of these individuals, 4,036 were located in the U.S. and U.S. territories, and 692 were from our subsidiaries in Canada and Brazil. We chose to exclude all 191 of our employees from our Brazil subsidiary, which consists of 4.04% of our workforce, from the identification of “median employee,” as permitted by SEC rules.

Our employee population, after taking into consideration the permitted adjustments described above, consisted of 4,537 members. Our adjusted employee population consisted of 4,036 employees in the U.S. and 501 employees located in Canada.

We identified our median employee based on the total cash and stock-based compensation earned during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023. In making this determination, we annualized the compensation of all full- and part-time permanent employees included in the sample who were hired in calendar year 2023, but did not work for us or our included subsidiaries for the entire twelve-month period described below. For purposes of determining the total cash and stock-based compensation earned, we included: the amount of base salary (or, in the case of hourly workers, base wages including overtime pay) the employee received during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the amount of any cash incentives paid or deferred in such period (which include sales commissions as well as cash incentives that are generally paid for performance during the prior quarter or year), and the amount of any income from stock-based compensation, as reflected in our payroll records. For purposes of identifying the median employee, we applied the average exchange rate for calendar year 2023, which was U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars – 1.3494 CAD.

Once we identified our median employee, we then determined that employee’s annual total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determine the annual total compensation of our Named Executive Officers for purposes of the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 56 disclosed above. The annual total compensation for our median employee for fiscal 2024 was determined to be $58,192. This amount was then compared to the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer disclosed above in the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 56, of $5,498,397. The elements included in the Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation are discussed above in the footnotes to the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 56.

Pay Versus Performance

Pay Versus Performance Table

As required by the Dodd-Frank Act and SEC regulation, the following table presents, for each of the four most recent fiscal years:

•total compensation, as calculated in the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 56, for our current and former President and CEO (the “PEOs”) and an average for our Other Named Executive Officers (“non-PEO NEOs”);

•compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to our current and former PEOs and an average for our non-PEO NEOs, an SEC prescribed calculation which adjusts total compensation for the items described below and which does not equate to realized compensation;

•our cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”) since the last trading day before the earliest year presented;

•our net income; and

•our adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”).

For a description of our executive compensation program and the factors used by the Compensation Committee to determine pay for our NEOs, see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement.

(5)This value is based on the Company’s TSR for the period beginning on the last trading day of the year preceding the earliest year presented in the table and ending on the last trading day of the covered year, which includes the reinvestment of dividends paid on our common stock during the relevant period.

(6)The new peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table is the S&P 600 Industrials Index, which is the same industry index the Company uses for purposes of the stock performance graph in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Effective as of February 26, 2023, the Company changed industry indexes from the S&P SmallCap 600 Growth Index to the S&P 600 Industrials Index. We believe that the S&P Industrials Index is the best available published industry index, composed of companies with similar market capitalization and a mix of GICS classifications that reasonably reflect our diverse business activities, although most of the direct competitors in our various business units are either privately owned or are divisions of larger, publicly owned companies.

(7)The current peer group used in the Fiscal 2023 Pay Versus Performance table is the S&P SmallCap 600 Growth Index.

(8)Fiscal 2023 Net Income was incorrectly reported as $87,900,000 in the Pay Versus Performance table of our 2023 Proxy Statement. In this Proxy Statement, Fiscal 2023 Net Income has been updated to match the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(9)Our company-selected measure, which is the measure we believe represents the most important financial performance not otherwise presented in the table above that we use to link compensation actually paid to our PEO and non-PEO NEOs for fiscal 2024 to our performance is Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP measure which is further defined on page 37, and in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Most Important Financial Measures

The table below lists the most important financial measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s PEO and non-PEO NEOs to the Company's performance during fiscal 2024.

Proposal 2: Advisory Approval of Apogee’s Executive Compensation

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing shareholders with an advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the rules of the SEC.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. We believe that our executive compensation program is structured in the best manner possible to support our Company and its business objectives. It has been designed to implement certain core compensation principles, which include:

•Alignment of management’s interests with our shareholders’ interests to support long-term value creation through our equity compensation programs and share ownership guidelines;

•Pay-for-performance, which is demonstrated by linking annual cash incentives and long-term incentives to key financial measures;

•Providing a flexible compensation package that reflects the cyclical nature of our business and fairly compensates our executives over our business cycle; and

•Linking compensation to market levels of compensation paid to executive officers in the competitive market so that we can attract, motivate and retain executives who are able to drive the long-term success of Apogee.

We believe our executive compensation program reflects a strong pay-for-performance philosophy and is well-aligned with our shareholders’ long-term interests. Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate our executives, drive desirable behaviors, be competitive, promote retention and reward successful performance. We ask for your support for the reasons listed below.

•Our compensation programs are substantially tied to achievement of our key financial and business objectives. A significant portion of each Named Executive Officer’s potential total annual cash compensation and long-term compensation is at-risk and linked to our operating performance.

•Our compensation programs are designed to take into account the cyclical nature of our business and to fairly compensate our executives over the non-residential construction cycle.

•Our compensation programs for executive officers deliver a significant portion of potential total compensation in the form of equity. If the value we deliver to our shareholders declines, so does the compensation we deliver to our executive officers.

•We have stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers.

•We offer very limited perquisites to our executive officers and do not provide tax reimbursement or “gross-ups” on perquisites.

•Each of our Named Executive Officers is expected to demonstrate exceptional individual performance in order to continue serving as a member of the executive team.

•We continue to refine our executive compensation program to reflect evolving executive compensation practices.

We believe that the information provided above and within the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management’s interests are aligned with our shareholders’ interests to support long-term value creation. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Apogee’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in Apogee’s Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and other related narrative disclosures.”

77

This advisory vote on executive compensation is not binding on Apogee, our Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. However, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements. We currently conduct annual advisory votes on executive compensation, and we expect to conduct our next advisory vote at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the Say on Pay Proposal. Proxies will be voted FOR the proposal unless otherwise specified.

78

Proposal 3: Approval of the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2019 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan, As Amended and Restated (2024) to Increase Share Authorization from 150,000 to 300,000

Background and Purpose

Our Board of Directors, on the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee approved on April 19, 2024 an amendment and restatement to the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2019 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan (the "2019 Director Stock Plan"), subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The proposed amendment and restatement would add an additional 150,000 shares to the 2019 Director Stock Plan share reserve. As of March 2, 2024, the last day of fiscal 2024, there were approximately 14,592 shares of our common stock remaining available for future awards under the 2019 Director Stock Plan, which is the Company's only equity-based compensation plan under which awards may be made to non-employee directors. The 2019 Director Stock Plan was originally approved by our shareholders on January 14, 2020, to replace our 2009 Director Stock Plan.

If the amendment and restatement (the “First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan” or the “Plan”) is not approved by shareholders, we will continue to use the 2019 Director Stock Plan in its current form as the framework for our equity incentive compensation program. However, if the authorized shares are depleted prior to its expiration date, we would not be able to continue to offer a long-term incentive program that employs equity awards, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage in recruiting and retaining talent, and also make it more difficult for us to align director interests with those of our shareholders through a program that includes stock ownership.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (for purposes of this summary, the "Committee") administers the 2019 Director Stock Plan. The following discussion and summary of the material terms of the 2019 Director Stock Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan which is set forth in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

Proposed Amendment to the 2019 Director Stock Plan

The only change made by this amendment and restatement to the 2019 Director Stock Plan is to increase the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2019 Director Stock Plan by 150,000 shares, from a total of 150,000 shares to 300,000 shares.

Key Features of the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan

The following features of the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan reflect director equity plan "best practices" intended to protect the interests of our shareholders:

•Limit on Shares Available for Awards. Under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan, the aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued is 300,000 shares, assuming approval of this Proposal at the Annual Meeting. All shares awarded, regardless of the type of award, will count against the Plan's reserve on 1:1 basis for each share subject to the award. On the record date, the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was $57.52 per share.

•Annual Limits on Awards. No non-employee director may be granted any award or awards that exceed $200,000 in the aggregate (such value computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) in any calendar year.

•No Evergreen Provision. The First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan does not contain an "evergreen" provision.

•No Liberal Share "Recycling." The First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan provides that any shares (i) surrendered to pay the exercise price of an option, (ii) withheld by the Company or tendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to any award, (iii) covered by a stock settled stock appreciation right not issued in connection with settlement upon exercise, or (iv) repurchased by the Company using option proceeds will not be added back ("recycled") to the Plan.

79

•No Granting of Discounted Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") must have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (unless such award is granted in substitution for a stock option or SAR previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company).

•No Repricing of Stock Options or SARs. The First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan prohibits the repricing of stock options and SARs (including a prohibition on the repurchase of "underwater" stock options or SARs for cash or other securities) without shareholder approval.

•No Liberal Change-in-Control. The First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan prohibits any award agreement from having a change-in-control provision that has the effect of accelerating the exercisability of any award or the lapse of restrictions relating to any award upon only the announcement or shareholder approval (rather than the consummation of) a change-in-control transaction.

•No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents Paid on Unvested Awards. The First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan prohibits the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on awards until those awards are earned and vested. In addition, the Plan prohibits the granting of dividends equivalents with respect to stock options, SARs or an award the value of which is based solely on an increase in the value of the Company's shares after the grant of the award.

•Minimum Vesting Period. A maximum of 5% of the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan may be issued without a vesting period of at least one year following the date of grant. All other awards will have a minimum vesting period of at least one year.

The Committee expects that the number of shares available, if approved by our shareholders, will satisfy equity compensation needs for approximately five years based on historical grant practices.

Determination of Number of Shares for the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan

In setting the number of shares authorized under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan for which shareholder approval is being sought, the Committee and the Board of Directors considered, among other factors, the historical amounts of equity awards granted by the Company and the potential future grants over the next several years. Below is information regarding the Company's burn rates for all grants of equity under all shareholder-approved equity plans for the past three fiscal years and the Company's total potential dilution.

Burn Rate. Burn rate, a measure of the level at which a company uses shares available for grant under its equity compensation plans, is an important factor for investors concerned about shareholder dilution. Burn rate is defined as, in a given fiscal year, the number of shares subject to equity awards granted divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. In setting and recommending to our shareholders the number of shares to be authorized under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan, the Board considered the Company's burn rate for each of the past three fiscal years. The calculation of our burn rate for each year is shown in the table below:

	Fiscal Year Ended	Fiscal Year Ended	Fiscal Year Ended
	March 2, 2024	February 25, 2023	February 26, 2022
Full Value Awards Granted	247,621	183,793	236,195
Stock Option Awards Granted	—	—	—
Total Awards Granted	247,621	183,793	236,195
Weighted Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding (Basic)	22,091,000	22,007,000	24,920,000
Burn Rate	1.12%	0.84%	0.95%

Based on the burn rates in fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, our three-year average burn rate was 0.97%.

Overhang. The potential dilution, or overhang, is a common measure to assess the dilutive impact of equity plans. Total potential dilution is equal to (i) the number of shares available to be granted as future equity awards plus the number of shares subject to outstanding equity awards, divided by (ii) such total number of shares plus the total number of shares outstanding. Total potential dilution, prior to and after shareholder approval of the proposed amendment and restatement of the Plan, is shown in the table below:

	Total Shares
Remaining Reserve under 2019 Director Stock Plan	14,592
Remaining Reserve under 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, and Legacy Partnership and Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("Other Stock Plans")(1)	901,889
Shares Subject to Outstanding Awards under 2019 Director Stock Plan, Other Stock Plans and New Hire Awards ("Outstanding Awards")(1)	351,779
Weighted Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding (Basic) ("CSO")(1)	22,091,000
Total Current Dilution(2)	5.43	%
Additional Shares Reserved under First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan	150,000
Total Potential Dilution(3)	6.03	%

(1)	As of March 2, 2024.
(2)	Calculated as (2019 Director Stock Plan + Other Stock Plans + Outstanding Awards), divided by (2019 Director Stock Plan + Other Stock Plans + Outstanding Awards + CSO).
(3)	Calculated as (2019 Director Stock Plan + Other Stock Plans + Outstanding Awards + Additional Shares Reserved under First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan), divided by (2019 Director Stock Plan + Other Stock Plans + Outstanding Awards + Additional Shares Reserved under First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan + CSO)

New Plan Benefits

The number and types of awards that will be granted under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan in the future are not determinable at this time, as the Committee will make these determinations in its discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan.

Description of First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan

Administration. The Committee administers the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan and has full power and authority to determine when and to whom awards will be granted, and the type, amount and other terms and conditions of each award, consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may amend the terms of, or accelerate the exercisability of, an outstanding award. The Committee will have authority to interpret the Plan and establish rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan.

Eligibility. The only persons entitled to participate under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan are directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company. There are currently eight directors eligible to participate in the Plan.

Shares Available for Awards. If this Proposal to increase the share reserve is approved, the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under all stock-based awards made under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan will be 300,000 shares. All shares subject to awards, regardless the type of award, will count against the Plan's reserve on a 1:1 basis for each share subject to the award. If awards issued under the Plan expire or otherwise terminate without being exercised or settled, the shares of common stock not acquired pursuant to such awards again become available for issuance under the Plan. However, under the share counting provisions of the Plan, the following classifications of shares will not again be available for issuance: (i) shares unissued due to a "net exercise" of a stock option, (ii) any shares withheld or shares

81

tendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations under any award, (iii) shares covered by a SAR that is not settled in shares upon exercise, and (iv) shares repurchased using stock option exercise proceeds.

Awards under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan are also subject to annual limitations. No non-employee director may be granted any award or awards that exceed $200,000 in the aggregate (such value computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) in any calendar year.

The Committee can adjust the number of shares and share limit described above in the case of a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-off, repurchase or exchange of shares, or other similar corporate transaction where such an adjustment is necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits available under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan. Any adjustment determination made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Type of Awards and Terms and Conditions. The First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan provides that the Committee may grant awards to eligible participants in any of the following forms, subject to such terms, conditions and provisions as the Committee may determine to be necessary or desirable:

•stock options ("options");

•SARs;

•restricted stock;

•restricted stock units; and

•dividend equivalents rights.

The Committee will have the right to make the timing of the grant and/or the issuance, ability to retain, vesting, exercise and/or settlement of awards subject to completion of a minimum period of service, achievement of one or more performance goals or both as deemed appropriate by the Committee; provided, that a maximum of five percent of the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the Plan may be issued with the terms providing for a right of exercise or a lapse on any vesting condition earlier than a date that is at least one year following the date of grant (or, in the case of vesting based upon performance-based objectives, exercise and vesting restrictions cannot lapse earlier than the one-year anniversary, measured from the commencement of the period over which performance is evaluated).

1.Options and SARs. The holder of an option is entitled to purchase a number of shares of our common stock at a specified exercise price during a specified time period, all as determined by the Committee. The holder of a SAR is entitled to receive the excess of the fair market value (calculated as of the exercise date) of a specified number of shares of our common stock over the grant price of the SAR. We would receive no consideration for options or SARs granted under the Plan, other than the services rendered by the holder in his or her capacity as a non-employee director of the Company.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of an option or SAR will in no event be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock underlying the award on the date of grant, unless such award is granted in substitution for an option or SAR previously granted by a merged or acquired entity. Without the approval of shareholders, we will not amend or replace previously granted options or SARs in a transaction that constitutes a "repricing" as defined in the Plan.

Vesting. The Committee has the discretion to determine when and under what circumstances an option or SAR will vest, subject to minimum vesting provisions described above.

Exercise. The Committee has the discretion to determine the method or methods by which an option or SAR may be exercised, which methods may include a net exercise. The Committee is not authorized under the Plan to accept a promissory note as consideration for the exercise of a stock option.

82

Expiration. Options and SARs will expire at such time as the Committee determines; provided, however, that no option or SAR may be exercised more than ten years from the date of grant.

2.Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The holder of restricted stock will own shares of our common stock subject to restrictions imposed by the Committee for a specified time period determined by the Committee. The holder of restricted stock units will have the right, subject to restrictions imposed by the Committee, to receive shares of our common stock at some future date determined by the Committee. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of restricted stock and restricted stock units will occur at such times and in such installments as are determined by the Committee, subject to the minimum vesting provisions described above.

3.Dividend Equivalents. The holder of a dividend equivalent will be entitled to receive payments (in cash or shares of our common stock) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to shareholders with respect to the number of shares determined by the Committee. Dividend equivalents will be subject to other terms and conditions determined by the Committee, but the Committee may not (i) grant dividend equivalents in connection with options or SARs, or (ii) pay a dividend equivalent with respect to a share underlying an award prior to the date on which all conditions or restrictions on such share have been satisfied or lapsed.

Termination and Amendment. The First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan has a term of ten years expiring on June 25, 2029, unless terminated earlier by the Board. The Board may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. No amendment or modification of the Plan may be made that would adversely affect any outstanding award without the consent of the participant or the current holder of the award (except in the case of a corporate transaction as described below). Amendments to the Plan must be approved by the shareholders, if required under the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other securities exchange applicable to the Company, or if the amendment would (i) increase the number of shares authorized under the Plan, (ii) permit a repricing of options or SARs, (iii) permit the award of options or SARs with an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant, (iv) increase the maximum term of options or SARs, or (v) increase the annual per-person share limits under the Plan.

Effect of Corporate Transaction. Awards under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan are generally subject to special provisions upon the occurrence of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, plan of arrangement, take-over bid or tender offer, repurchase or exchange of shares, or any other similar corporate transaction or event involving the Company. In the event of such a corporate transaction, the Committee or the Board may provide for any of the following to be effective upon the occurrence of the event (or effective immediately prior to the consummation of such event, provided the event is consummated):

•termination of any award, whether vested or not, in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property equal to the amount that would have been attained upon exercise of the award or the realization of the participant’s rights under the award. Awards may be terminated without payment if the Committee or Board determines that no amount is realizable under the award as of the time of the transaction;

•replacement of any award with other rights or property selected by the Committee or the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion;

•the assumption of any award by the successor or survivor entity (or its parent or subsidiary) or the arrangement for the substitution for similar awards covering the stock of such successor entity with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

•require that any award shall become exercisable or payable or fully vested, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable award agreement; or

•require that the award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable until after a future date, which may be the effective date of the corporate transaction.

Limited Transferability of Awards. Generally, no award or other right or interest of a participant under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan (other than fully vested and unrestricted shares issued pursuant to an award) shall be transferable by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and

83

distribution, and no right or award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any affiliates. However, the Committee may allow transfer of an award to family members for no value, and such transfer shall comply with the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Committee may establish procedures to allow a named beneficiary to exercise the rights of the participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any award upon the participant’s death.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Grant of Options and SARs. The grant of a stock option or SAR is not expected to result in any taxable income to the recipient.

Exercise of Options and SARs. Upon exercising an option, the optionee must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of the Company’s common stock acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and the Company generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. Upon exercising a SAR, the amount of any cash received and the fair market value on the exercise date of any shares of our common stock received are taxable to the recipient as ordinary income and generally are deductible by us.

Disposition of Shares Acquired Upon Exercise of Options and SARs. The tax consequence upon a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of an option or SAR will depend on how long the shares have been held. Generally, there will be no tax consequence to the Company in connection with the disposition of shares acquired under an option or SAR.

Awards Other than Options and SARs. If an award is payable in shares of our common stock that are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, unless a special election is made by the holder of the award under the Internal Revenue Code, the holder must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of: (i) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the first time the shares become transferable or not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs earlier) over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for the shares by the holder of the award. The Company will generally be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. As to other awards granted under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan that are payable either in cash or shares of our common stock not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, the holder of the award must recognize ordinary income equal to: (a) the amount of cash received or, as applicable, (b) the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date such shares are received) over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for the shares by the holder of the award.

Income Tax Deduction. Subject to the usual rules concerning reasonable compensation, including the Company's obligation to withhold or otherwise collect certain income and payroll taxes, the Company generally will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction at the time a participant recognizes ordinary income from awards made under the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan.

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee intends to administer and interpret the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan and all award agreements in a manner consistent to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to avoid any adverse tax results thereunder to a holder of an award.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table summarizes, with respect to our equity compensation plans, the number of shares of our common stock to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares, the weighted-average exercise price of these outstanding options, warrants and rights, and the number of shares remaining available for future issuance under our equity compensation plans as of March 2, 2024, the last day of fiscal 2024.

Total	351,799		N/A		916,481

1.Includes 230,208 shares underlying performance share unit awards granted under our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, assuming maximum level performance; 75,015 restricted stock unit awards granted under our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan, and 2019 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan; and 46,556 phantom shares under our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Dividends accrue on the outstanding performance share units during the three-year performance periods but will be paid only on shares earned at the end of each performance cycle. Certain outstanding restricted stock units have dividend rights attached, but none of the restricted stock units are transferable.

2.At the beginning of fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2024, performance share units were awarded to plan participants which will vest based on our Company's performance over each three-year performance period. The performance share units represent the right to receive shares of our common stock at the end of each three-year performance period. Pursuant to SEC rules and the reporting requirements for this table, we have included in this column 230,208 shares underlying the outstanding performance share units at maximum performance, assuming our Company performed at the maximum level during the applicable performance periods. Only 115,104 shares underlie the performance awards at target level performance.

3.In calculating the weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights, we have not included in this column shares of restricted stock that are issued and outstanding, performance share units or restricted stock units.

4.Pursuant to SEC Rules and the reporting requirements for this table, of these shares, 3,822 are available for issuance under our Legacy Partnership Plan; 881,822 are available for grant under our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan; 14,592 are available for grant under our 2019 Director Stock Plan; and 16,245 are available for grant under our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. This total does not include the additional 150,000 shares that would be added to the First Amended and Restated 2019 Director Stock Plan reserve if shareholders were to approve this proposal.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the adoption of The Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2019 Director Stock Plan, as Amended and Restated (2024). Proxies will be voted FOR the proposal unless otherwise specified.

Proposal 4: Ratification of Appointment of Independent

Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 1, 2025, subject to a satisfactory evaluation of the firm’s performance in conducting our fiscal 2024 audit. Deloitte has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since fiscal 2003. The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of Deloitte and believes that the retention of Deloitte is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

While it is not required to do so, our Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of Deloitte to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 1, 2025, to our shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance.

If shareholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another Independent Accounting Firm. Even if the selection of Deloitte is ratified by shareholders, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, appoint a different firm of Independent Auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

We have been advised that a representative from Deloitte will be present at the Annual Meeting. The representative will be available to respond to appropriate questions and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if the firm so desires.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 1, 2025. Proxies will be voted FOR the proposal unless otherwise specified.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services

Consistent with policies of the SEC regarding auditor independence, our Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

Our Board of Directors has set April 22, 2024, as the record date for the Annual Meeting. If you were a shareholder at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

As of the record date, 22,130,207 shares of common stock, par value $0.33-1/3, were issued and outstanding and, therefore, eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What are my voting rights?

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Therefore, 22,130,207 votes are entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors.

How many shares must be present to hold the meeting?

In accordance with our Amended and Restated By-laws, shares equal to at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the record date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if:

•you are present and vote in person at the Annual Meeting, with virtual participation constituting in person presence at the meeting;

•you have properly submitted a proxy via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail, even if you abstain from voting on one or more matters; or

•you hold your shares in street name (as discussed under “What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a “street name” holder?” beginning on page 93) and you did not provide voting instructions to your broker and your broker uses its discretionary authority to vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.

How can I attend the meeting?

In order to expand access to the Annual Meeting, we are holding the Annual Meeting in a virtual-only meeting format. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting at a physical location.

___________________________

(1)A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. If a broker returns a “non-vote” proxy indicating a lack of authority to vote on a proposal, then the shares covered by such a “non-vote” proxy will be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, but generally are not counted or deemed to be present in person or by proxy for the purpose of voting on Proposals 1 - 3.

(2)Section 5.02 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation requires that a director nominee will be elected only if they receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to their election in an uncontested election, that is, the number of shares “for” that nominee exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that nominee. A vote to “abstain” will not have any effect on determining the election results. If a director nominee is not elected and the nominee is an incumbent director, that director shall promptly tender their resignation to the Board of Directors, subject to acceptance by the Board of Directors. In that event, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the tender of resignation. The Board, after taking into account the recommendation, must publicly disclose its decision and rationale within 90 days after the election. The director who failed to receive a majority vote will not participate in the decision.

90

(3)The voting standard assumes that the number of shares voted in favor of such proposal constitute more than 25% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

How can I ask questions during the Annual Meeting?

You may submit questions in real time during the Annual Meeting following the formal business portion of the meeting, by entering them into the field provided on the meeting website. The directors and executive management will answer appropriate questions from shareholders. To allow us to answer questions from as many shareholders as possible, we will limit each shareholder to two questions. It will help us if questions are succinct and cover only one topic.

How do I cast my vote?

Your vote is important. If you are a shareholder of record, you can give a proxy to be voted at the Annual Meeting in any of the following ways:

•electronically via the Internet by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions on the Notice or, if you received paper copies of our proxy materials, on the enclosed proxy card;

•by telephone by following the “Vote by Telephone” instructions on the Notice or, if you received paper copies of our proxy materials, on the proxy card;

•by completing, signing and mailing the proxy card (if you received paper copies of our proxy materials); or

•by attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting online on the meeting website.

If you are an employee and received our 2024 proxy materials electronically via the Internet at your company email address, you will only be able to give a proxy to be voted at the Annual Meeting electronically via the Internet as described under “How do I vote if my shares are held in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee?” below.

If you hold your shares in street name, you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker or other nominee. Your broker or other nominee has enclosed or otherwise provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or other nominee how to vote your shares.

If you properly submit your proxy via the Internet, by telephone or return your executed proxy by mail and do not revoke your proxy, it will be voted in the manner you specify. If you submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, the proxies will vote those shares as recommended by the Board.

How do I vote if my shares are held in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee?

If you hold any shares in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee, your Internet proxy vote or completed proxy card will serve as voting instructions to the plan trustee or plan custodian, as applicable. However, your voting instructions for these plans must be received by 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 in order to count. If you are a participant in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the plan custodian cannot vote your shares unless it receives timely instructions from you.

If you hold shares in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee and have a company email address, you will receive our 2024 Proxy Statement and 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders electronically at your company email address instead of receiving paper copies of these documents in the mail. The email will provide instructions and a control number to use to provide voting instructions to the plan trustee via the Internet. If you receive our 2024 Proxy Statement and 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders electronically, you may only provide voting instructions to the plan trustee or plan custodian, as applicable, via the Internet and you will not receive a proxy card that can be returned by mail.

91

If you are an employee who received our 2024 Proxy Statement and 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders electronically and you wish to receive a paper copy of these materials, you should contact:

Internet:	www.apog.com
Email:	IR@apog.com
Telephone:	(877) 752-3432
Mail:	Investor Relations Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares registered in more than one account in different names or variations of your name. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, if you submit your proxy vote via the Internet or by telephone vote once for each proxy card you received or sign and return each proxy card.

You may prefer to hold your shares in more than one account, and you are welcome to do so. However, please contact our Investor Relations Department at IR@apog.com or (877) 752-3432 (telephone) for information on how to merge your accounts.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our tabulating agent, will tabulate the votes and act as independent inspector of election.

What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?

If you submit your proxy via the Internet or telephone or a signed proxy card and do not specify how you want to vote your shares, we will vote your shares FOR all nominees and proposals. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we know of no other matters that will be presented for a shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting for a shareholder vote, they will be voted in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy or voting instructions?

Yes. If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting, in any of the following ways:

•by sending a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary;

•by submitting a later-dated proxy to our Corporate Secretary;

•by submitting a later-dated proxy via the Internet;

•by submitting a later-dated proxy by telephone; or

•by voting in person at the meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name, you should contact your broker, bank, trust or other nominee for information on how to revoke your voting instructions and provide new voting instructions.

If you hold shares in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee, you may revoke your proxy and change your voting instructions at any time, but no later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, in any of the following ways:

•by sending a written notice of revocation to the plan trustee or plan custodian;

92

How can I get a copy of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K?

Shareholders who wish to obtain additional copies of our 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K may do so without charge by contacting us through one of the following methods:

Internet:	www.apog.com
Email:	IR@apog.com
Telephone:	(877) 752-3432
Mail:	Investor Relations Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435

How do I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

The Notice provides you with instructions regarding how to view the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the Internet.

Our 2024 Proxy Statement and 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, are available at www.proxyvote.com.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is your designation of another person to vote stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. When you designate someone a proxy, you may also direct the proxy how to vote your shares. We refer to this as your “proxy vote.” Three of our executive officers, Ty R. Silberhorn, Matthew J. Osberg and Meghan M. Elliott, have been designated as the proxies for shareholders voting on the enclosed proxy card at the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a “street name” holder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is considered to be the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. However, you still are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are said to be held in “street name.” Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the broker, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote their shares using the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank, trust or other nominee.

Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?

We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokers and other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our shares.

We are soliciting proxies primarily by mail and email. In addition, some of our officers and regular employees may solicit the return of proxies by telephone, facsimile, personal interview or email. These individuals will receive no additional compensation for these services.

How can I recommend or nominate a director candidate?

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations of director candidates. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a director candidate to our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for nomination by our Board of Directors at our next annual meeting, or for vacancies on our Board of Directors that arise between meetings, must provide our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee with sufficient written documentation to permit a determination by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board of Directors as to whether such candidate meets the required and desired director selection criteria set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the factors discussed under the heading “Criteria for Membership on Our Board of Directors” above. Such documentation and the name of the director candidate must be sent by U.S. mail to our Corporate Secretary at Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, MN 55435, no later than January 9, 2025. Our Corporate Secretary will send properly submitted shareholder recommendations to the Chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration at a future committee meeting.

Director candidates recommended by shareholders in compliance with these procedures and who meet the criteria outlined above will be evaluated by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in the same manner as nominees proposed by other sources.

Alternatively, shareholders may directly nominate a person for election to our Board of Directors at a future annual meeting by complying with the procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated By-laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Our Amended and Restated By-laws are available on our website at www.apog.com by clicking on “Investors,” select “Governance,” then “By-laws.”

Shareholders who wish to nominate a director candidate for the 2025 Annual Meeting should submit the advance notice, along with other required information, to our Corporate Secretary at Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, MN 55435, no later than February 21, 2025. To comply with universal proxy rules, the advance notice must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b) of the Exchange Act.

How can I present a proposal at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?

Any shareholder wishing to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our Proxy Statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must submit the proposal in writing to our Corporate Secretary at Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, MN 55435 in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14a-8, no later than January 9, 2025.

Under our Amended and Restated By-laws, a shareholder proposal not included in our Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is untimely and may not be presented in any manner at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders unless the shareholder wishing to make the proposal follows the notice procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated By-laws. Any such shareholder proposals for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be in the form and substance required by the Amended and Restated By-laws and must be submitted to our Corporate Secretary at the address indicated on the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders no later than February 21, 2025.

What is “householding” of proxy materials?

The SEC rules allow a single copy of the proxy statement and Annual Report to Shareholders to be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing the same address and last name, or who we reasonably believe are members of the same family, and who consent to receive a single copy of these materials in a manner provided by these rules. This practice is referred to as “householding” and can result in significant savings of paper and mailing costs. Although we do not household for our registered shareholders, some brokers’ household Apogee notices, proxy statements and annual reports, delivering single copies of such documents to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they 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 copy of our proxy statement and annual report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of documents and wish to receive only one, please notify your

94

broker. We will promptly deliver upon written or oral request a separate copy of our proxy statement and/or Annual Report to Shareholders to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any such document was delivered. For copies of these documents, shareholders should write to our Investor Relations Department at the address listed above, or call (877) 752-3432.

100

(b)    Power and Authority of the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, at any time and from time to time, without any further action of the Committee, exercise the powers and duties of the Committee under the Plan.

Section 4.    Shares Available for Awards.

(a)    Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under all Awards under the Plan shall equal 300,000 (consisting of the original 150,000 Shares authorized when the Plan was first approved plus 150,000 additional shares authorized as part of this amendment and restatement). The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under all Awards under the Plan shall be reduced by Shares subject to Awards issued under the Plan in accordance with the Share counting rules described in Section 4(b) below. On and after the date the shareholders first approved this Plan, grants of new awards under the Prior Stock Plan were permanently discontinued, but all outstanding awards previously granted under the Prior Stock Plan shall remain outstanding and subject to the terms of the Prior Stock Plan.

(b)    Counting Shares. Except as set forth below in this Section 4(b), if an Award entitles the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares, the number of Shares covered by such Award or to which such Award relates shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan.

(i)    Shares Added Back to Reserve. Subject to the limitations in Section 4(b)(ii) below, if any Shares covered by an Award or to which an Award relates are not purchased or are forfeited or are reacquired by the Company, or if an Award otherwise terminates or is cancelled without delivery of any Shares, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, reacquisition by the Company, termination or cancellation, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan.

(ii)    Shares Not Added Back to Reserve. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section (b)(i) above, the following Shares will not again become available for issuance under the Plan: (A) any Shares which would have been issued upon any exercise of an Option but for the fact that the exercise price was paid by a “net exercise” pursuant to Section 5(a)(iii)(B) or any Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (B) any Shares withheld by the Company or Shares tendered to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award; (C) Shares covered by a stock settled Stock Appreciation Right issued under the Plan that are not issued in connection with settlement in Shares upon exercise; or (D) Shares that are repurchased by the Company using Option exercise proceeds.

(iii)    Cash Only Awards. Awards that do not entitle the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

(iv)    Substitute Awards Relating to Acquired Entities. Shares issued under Awards granted in substitution for awards previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

(c)    Adjustments. In the event that any dividend (other than a regular cash dividend) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the purchase price or exercise price with respect to any Award and (iv) the limitations contained in Section 4(d) below; provided, however, that the number of Shares covered by any Award or to which such Award relates shall always be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee or the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(d)    Annual Limitation for Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors. No Non-Employee Director may be granted any Award or Awards denominated in Shares that exceed in the aggregate $200,000

101

(such value computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) in any calendar year.

Section 5.    Awards.

(a)    Options. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to Non-Employee Directors with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine:

(i)    Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share exercisable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee and shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option; provided, however, that the Committee may designate an exercise price below Fair Market Value on the date of grant if the Option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate.

(ii)    Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee but shall not be longer than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

(iii)    Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised within the Option term, either in whole or in part, and the method of exercise, except that any exercise price tendered shall be in either cash, Shares having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the applicable exercise price or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.

(A)    Promissory Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not accept a promissory note as consideration.

(B)    Net Exercises. The terms of any Option may be written to permit the Option to be exercised by delivering to the Participant a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of exercise) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option being exercised, on the date of exercise, over the exercise price of the Option for such Shares.

(b)    Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Non-Employee Directors subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive upon exercise thereof the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified by the Committee, which price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right; provided, however, that the Committee may designate a grant price below Fair Market Value on the date of grant if the Stock Appreciation Right is granted in substitution for a stock appreciation right previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an Affiliate. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, dates of exercise, methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee (except that the term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to the ten (10) year maximum term in Section 5(a)(ii) applicable to Options). The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate.

(c)    Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Non-Employee Directors with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine:

(i)    Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property with respect thereto), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise as the Committee may deem appropriate. Vesting of such Awards may, at the Committee’s discretion, be conditioned upon the Participant’s completion of a minimum period of service with the Company or an Affiliate, or upon the achievement of one or more performance goals established by the Committee, or upon any combination of service based and performance based conditions, subject to the minimum vesting requirements in Section 5(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, rights to dividend or Dividend Equivalent payments shall be subject to the limitations described in Section 5(d).

102

(ii)    Issuance and Delivery of Shares. Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted and may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company, or held in nominee name by the stock transfer agent or brokerage service selected by the Company to provide such services for the Plan. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. Shares representing Restricted Stock that are no longer subject to restrictions shall be delivered (including by updating the book entry registration) to the Participant promptly after the applicable restrictions lapse or are waived. In the case of Restricted Stock Units, no Shares shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted. Upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions and the restricted period relating to Restricted Stock Units evidencing the right to receive Shares, such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the holder of the Restricted Stock Units.

(d)    Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Non-Employee Directors under which the Participant shall be entitled to receive payments (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property as determined in the discretion of the Committee) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to holders of Shares with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Committee may not grant Dividend Equivalents to Participants in connection with grants of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or other Awards the value of which is based solely on an increase in the value of the Shares after the grant of such Award, and (ii) dividend and Dividend Equivalent amounts with respect to any Share underlying an Award may be accrued but not paid to a Participant until all conditions or restrictions relating to such Share have been satisfied or lapsed.

(e)    General.

(i)    Consideration for Awards. Awards may be granted for no cash consideration or for any cash or other consideration as may be determined by the Committee or required by applicable law.

(ii)    Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in substitution for any other Award or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

(iii)    Limits on Transfer of Awards. No Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted Shares issued pursuant to any Award) and no right under any such Award shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and no Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted Shares issued pursuant to any Award) or right under any such Award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit the transfer of an Award, other than a fully vested and unrestricted Share, to family members if such transfer is for no value and in accordance with the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or any successor to such Instructions or such Form) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Committee may also establish procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a person or persons, as beneficiary or beneficiaries, to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any Award in the event of the Participant’s death.

(iv)    Restrictions; Securities Exchange Listing. All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, applicable federal or state securities laws and regulatory requirements, and the Committee may cause appropriate entries to be made or legends to be placed on the certificates for such Shares or other securities to reflect such restrictions. If the Shares or other securities are traded on a securities exchange, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares or other securities covered by an Award unless and until such Shares or other securities have been admitted for trading on such securities exchange.

(v)    Prohibition on Option and Stock Appreciation Right Repricing. Except as provided in Section 4(c) hereof, the Committee may not, without prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, seek to effect any repricing of any previously granted, “underwater” Option or Stock Appreciation Right by: (i)

103

amending or modifying the terms of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right to lower the exercise price; (ii) cancelling the underwater Option or Stock Appreciation Right and granting either (A) replacement Options or Stock Appreciation Rights having a lower exercise price; or (B) Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units in exchange; or (iii) cancelling or repurchasing the underwater Option or Stock Appreciation Right for cash or other securities. An Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Option or Stock Appreciation Right is less than the exercise price.

(vi)    Minimum Vesting. No Award shall be granted with terms providing for any right of exercise or lapse of any vesting obligations earlier than a date that is at least one year following the date of grant (or, in the case of vesting based upon performance-based objectives, exercise and vesting restrictions cannot lapse earlier than the one year anniversary measured from the commencement of the period over which performance is evaluated); provided, however, that the Award Agreement by its terms may permit acceleration or waiver of the minimum restrictions solely upon the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A)    A maximum of five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan may be issued as Awards that do not comply with the applicable one year minimum exercise and vesting requirements and limit exceptions set forth above. For purposes of counting Shares against the five percent (5%) limitation, the Share counting rules under Section 4 of this Plan apply.

(B)    Nothing in this Section 5 shall limit the authority of the Committee to amend or modify any Award to accelerate the vesting or the exercisability of any Award or the lapse of any restrictions relating to any Award (except where expressly limited in Section 5(e)(vii)).

(vii)    Limits on Acceleration or Waiver of Restrictions for Change-in-Control Transactions. No Award Agreement shall, by operation of its terms, accelerate the exercisability of any Award or the lapse of restrictions relating to any Award in connection with a reorganization, merger or consolidation of, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of, the Company unless such transaction constitutes a Change-in-Control and unless such acceleration occurs upon the consummation of (or effective immediately prior to the consummation of, provided that the consummation subsequently occurs) the Change-in-Control.

(viii)    Section 409A Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that constitutes “deferred compensation” to a Participant under Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder is otherwise payable or distributable to a Participant under the Plan or any Award Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence of a Change-in-Control or due to the Participant’s disability or separation from service, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change-in-Control, disability or separation from service meet the definition of a change in ownership or control, disability, or separation from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable proposed or final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. For purposes of this paragraph, a “separation from service” shall mean a complete severance for any reason of a Director’s relationship as a Director and/or independent contractor of the Company and any Affiliates. A Director may have a separation from service upon resignation as a Director even if the Director then becomes an officer or employee of the Company or an Affiliate. In all events, separation from service shall be construed to have a meaning consistent with the term “separation from service” as used and defined in Section 409A of the Code.

Section 6.    Amendment and Termination; Corrections.

(a)    Amendments to the Plan and Awards. The Board may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate this Plan, and the Committee may amend the terms of any previously granted Award, provided that no amendment to the terms of any previously granted Award may (except as expressly provided in the Plan) adversely alter or impair the terms or conditions of the Award previously granted to a Participant under this Plan without the written consent of the Participant or holder thereof. Any amendments to the Plan or an Award that are necessary or desirable to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of any applicable governmental entity or stock exchange (including amendments to the Plan or Awards necessary or desirable to maximize any available tax deduction or to avoid any adverse tax results, and no action taken to comply with such laws, rules, regulations and policies shall be deemed to not impair or otherwise adversely alter or impair the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof).

104

(b)    Amendments Requiring Shareholder Approval. For greater certainty and without limiting the foregoing, the Board may amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Plan, and the Committee may amend or alter any previously granted Award, as applicable, without obtaining the approval of shareholders of the Company, except that prior approval of the shareholders of the Company shall be required for any amendment to the Plan or an Award that would:

(i)    require shareholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or any other securities exchange that are applicable to the Company;

(ii)    increase the number of shares authorized under the Plan as specified in Section 4(a) of the Plan;

(iii)    permit repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, which is currently prohibited by Section 5 of the Plan;

(iv)    permit the award of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at a price less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, contrary to the provisions of Section 5(a)(i) and Section 5(b) of the Plan;

(v)    increase the maximum term permitted for Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as specified in Section 5(a) and Section 5(b); or

(vi)    increase the number of shares subject to the limitations contained in Section 4(d) of the Plan.

(c)    Corporate Transactions. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, plan of arrangement, take-over bid or tender offer, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company or any other similar corporate transaction or event involving the Company (or the Company shall enter into a written agreement to undergo such a transaction or event), the Committee or the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide for any of the following to be effective upon the consummation of the event (or effective immediately prior to the consummation of the event, provided that the consummation of the event subsequently occurs), and no action taken under this Section 6(c) shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely alter or impair the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof:

(i)    either (A) termination of any Award, whether or not vested, in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of the Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if, as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 6(c)(i)(A), the Committee or the Board determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of the Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then the Award may be terminated by the Company without any payment) or (B) the replacement of the Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion;

(ii)    that the Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(iii)    that the Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable Award Agreement; or

(iv)    that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after a date certain in the future, which may be the effective date of the event.

(d)    Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies. The Committee may, without prior approval of the shareholders of the Company, correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to implement or maintain the effectiveness of the Plan.

Section 7.    General Provisions.

(a)    No Rights to Awards. No Non-Employee Director, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Non-Employee Directors, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and

105

conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants.

(b)    Award Agreements. No Participant shall have rights under an Award granted to such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and, if requested by the Company, signed by the Participant, or until such Award Agreement is delivered and accepted through any electronic medium in accordance with procedures established by the Company.

(c)    No Rights of Shareholders. Except with respect to Shares issued under Awards (and subject to such conditions as the Committee may impose on such Awards pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) or Section 5(d)), neither a Participant nor the Participant’s legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise or payment of any Award, in whole or in part, unless and until the Shares have been issued.

(d)    No Limit on Other Compensation Plans or Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans or arrangements, and such plans or arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

(e)    No Right to Directorship. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as a Director.

(f)    Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan or any Award, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award, shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

(g)    Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(h)    No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

(i)    No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional Share or whether such fractional Share or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

(j)    Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

(k)    Other Benefits. No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any Participant under the Plan shall be included for the purpose of computing such Participant’s compensation under any compensation-based retirement, disability, or similar plan of the Company unless required by law or otherwise provided by such other plan.

Section 8.    Clawback or Recoupment.

In addition to such forfeiture and/or penalty conditions as specified in any Award Agreement, Awards under this Plan shall be subject to forfeiture or other penalties pursuant any clawback or similar recoupment policy as may be established or amended from time to time.

Section 9.    Effective Date of the Plan; Effect on Prior Stock Plan.

The Plan was first adopted by the Board on June 26, 2019. The Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company (and became affective) at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company held on January 14, 2020. This amended and restated Plan was adopted by the Board on April 19, 2024 and shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company at the annual meeting of shareholders to be

106

held on June 20, 2024, and the Plan, as amended and restated, shall be effective as of the date of such shareholder approval.

Section 10.    Term of the Plan.

No Award shall be granted under the Plan, and the Plan shall terminate, on June 25, 2029 or any earlier date of discontinuation or termination established pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such dates, and the authority of the Committee provided for hereunder with respect to the Plan and any Awards, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond the termination of the Plan.

Peer Group Issuers, Footnote

The current peer group used in the Fiscal 2023 Pay Versus Performance table is the S&P SmallCap 600 Growth Index.

Changed Peer Group, Footnote

The new peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table is the S&P 600 Industrials Index, which is the same industry index the Company uses for purposes of the stock performance graph in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Effective as of February 26, 2023, the Company changed industry indexes from the S&P SmallCap 600 Growth Index to the S&P 600 Industrials Index. We believe that the S&P Industrials Index is the best available published industry index, composed of companies with similar market capitalization and a mix of GICS classifications that reasonably reflect our diverse business activities, although most of the direct competitors in our various business units are either privately owned or are divisions of larger, publicly owned companies.
