During the Annual Meeting, the Company will also give stockholders the opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee chairperson and provide feedback on the Company’s executive compensation program.

As of March 27, 2024, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, the Company had outstanding 67,304,375 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”).

Under rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record or beneficial owner of our Common Stock, we are furnishing proxy materials, which include our Proxy Statement and Annual Report, to our stockholders over the Internet and providing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Notice”) by mail to all of our stockholders, other than to stockholders who previously elected to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials. Those stockholders that previously elected to receive printed proxy materials will each receive such materials by mail. If you received an Internet Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request to receive these materials in hard copy by following the instructions provided in the Internet Notice. Instead, the Internet Notice will provide instructions on how you may access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy materials over the Internet. The Internet Notice also instructs you how you may submit your proxy via telephone or the Internet. If you received an Internet Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Internet Notice.

We are mailing the Internet Notice to our stockholders on or about April 5, 2024.

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share for each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Nominees for the Board will be elected if more votes are cast in favor of the nominee than are cast

against the nominee by the holders of shares present online or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each other matter to be voted upon at the meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present online at the virtual meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote.

A quorum of stockholders is constituted by the presence, online at the virtual meeting or by proxy, of holders of record of Common Stock representing a majority of the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. With respect to all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting, abstentions will have the effect of a negative vote and broker non-votes will not be considered as votes cast and thus will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Proxy solicitations by the Board will be made by mail, by phone, via the Internet or by personal interviews conducted by officers or employees of the Company. All costs of solicitations, including (a) printing and mailing of the Internet Notice, (b) the printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement and accompanying material, (c) the reimbursement of brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Company’s stock, and (d) supplementary solicitations to submit proxies, if any, will be borne by the Company.

DIRECTORS AND GOVERNANCE

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

One of our current directors, Mr. Hansen, is not standing for re-election and will be retiring from the Board when his current term expires at the Annual Meeting. Terex would like to thank Mr. Hansen for his guidance and valuable contributions during his years of dedicated service on the Board.

At the Annual Meeting, eight (8) directors of the Company are to be elected to hold office until the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. Each director shall be elected if more votes are cast in favor of the nominee than are cast against the nominee by the holders of shares present online or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Unless marked to the contrary, the proxies received by the Company will be voted FOR the election of the eight (8) nominees listed below, all of whom are presently members of the Board.

Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director if elected. However, should any of the nominees for director decline or become unable to serve if elected, it is intended that the Board will vote for the election of such other person as director as it shall designate. The Company has no reason to believe that any nominee will decline or be unable to serve if elected.

In the event of an uncontested election, as is the case this year, any nominee for director who is a current director and receives less than a majority of the votes cast online or by proxy at the Annual Meeting shall offer to resign from the Board. While the Board does not believe that in each such case a director should necessarily leave the Board, this presents an opportunity for the Board, through its Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee, to consider the resignation offer.

The information set forth below has been furnished to the Company by the nominees and sets forth for each nominee, as of March 24, 2024, such nominee’s name, business experience for at least the past five years, other directorships held and age. There is no family relationship between any nominee and any other nominee or executive officer of the Company. For information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by the current directors of the Company, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

The Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Board has nominated each of the following individuals based on various criteria, including, among others, a desire to maintain a balanced experience and knowledge base within the Board, the nominees’ personal integrity, independence, diversity, experience, sound judgment and willingness to devote necessary time and attention to properly discharge the duties of director, and the ability of the nominees to make positive contributions to the leadership and governance of the Company. All the nominees except for Messrs. Meester and Salami have been directors since last year’s annual meeting. Mr. Salami, who joined the Board in August 2023, was recommended by a third-party search firm that the Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee retained to identify suitable director candidates. Mr. Meester joined the Board on January 1, 2024, the effective date of his new role as President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Board recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the following nominees for director.

Name	Age	Positions and Offices with Company	First Year As Company Director
Paula H. J. Cholmondeley	76	Director	2004
Donald DeFosset	75	Director	1999

Board Meetings and Corporate Governance

The Board met nine times in 2023 at regularly scheduled and special meetings. All of the directors in office during 2023 attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and all committees of the Board on which they served during 2023. It is the Company’s policy, as stated in the

Company’s Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), that each director is expected to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. All of the directors then in office attended the Company’s previous annual meeting of stockholders held on May 18, 2023.

Director Independence

It is the Company’s policy that the Board consists of a majority of directors who qualify as independent directors under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the requirements of any other applicable regulatory authority, including the SEC. The Board annually reviews the relationship of each director with the Company, and only those directors who the Board affirmatively determines have no material relationship with the Company are deemed to be

independent directors. The Guidelines specifically define what is deemed to be a material relationship between the Company and an independent director. The following are the relationships that the Board considers in making its independence determination:

(i)whether the director or any of his or her immediate family members is or was within the past five years an officer of the Company;

(ii)whether the director is or was within the past five

DIRECTORS AND GOVERNANCE

years an employee of the Company;

(iii)whether the director or any of his or her immediate family members is or was during the past five years affiliated with, or employed by, any past or present auditor of the Company (or an affiliate thereof);

(iv)whether the director or any of his or her immediate family members is or was within the past five years part of an interlocking directorate in which an executive officer of the Company serves or served on the compensation committee of a company that concurrently employs or employed the director or any of his or her immediate family members;

(v)whether the director is an executive officer, a partner, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent (10%) of the equity interest of a customer of, or a supplier of goods or services to the Company where the amount involved in the current fiscal year or the prior fiscal year in such relationship exceeds the greater of (x) two percent (2%) of the Company’s consolidated gross revenues for its most recently completed fiscal year, (y) two percent (2%) of the customer’s or supplier’s consolidated gross revenues for its most recently completed fiscal year or (z) $1 million;

(vi)whether the director is an executive officer, a partner or beneficial owner of more than ten percent (10%) of the equity interest of a company to which the Company was indebted at the end of any fiscal quarter during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year or current fiscal year in an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the Company’s total consolidated assets at the end of such fiscal year;

(vii)whether the director is an executive officer, a partner or beneficial owner of more than ten percent (10%) of the equity interest of a company which was indebted to the Company, other than in the ordinary course of business of the Company and such other company and on arms-length terms, at the end of any fiscal quarter during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year or current fiscal year in an amount in excess of $120,000 at the end of such fiscal year;

(viii)whether the director or any of his or her immediate family members was indebted to the Company, other than in the ordinary course of business of the Company and the business of the director or the member of his or her immediate family, and on arms-length terms, at the end of any fiscal quarter during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year or current fiscal year in an amount in excess of $120,000 at the end of such fiscal year;

(ix)whether the director is an executive officer or partner of any investment banking firm or other financial advisor or consultant that has performed services for the Company during the most recently completed

fiscal year or current fiscal year in which the amount of fees paid to the investment banking firm or other financial advisor or consultant exceeds five percent (5%) of the gross revenues of the investment banking firm or other financial advisor or consultant for that firm’s most recently completed fiscal year;

(x)whether the director is a member or of counsel to a law firm that the Company has retained during the most recently completed fiscal year or current fiscal year in which the amount of fees paid to the law firm exceeds five percent (5%) of the law firm’s gross revenues for that firm’s most recently completed fiscal year;

(xi)whether the director is affiliated with a tax-exempt entity that receives the greater of (x) $1 million or (y) two percent (2%) of its total annual contributions from the Company (based on the tax-exempt entity’s most recently completed fiscal year);

(xii)whether the director or any of his or her immediate family members is during the current fiscal year or was during the most recently completed fiscal year a party to a transaction or series of similar transactions with the Company or its subsidiaries (excluding director fees, stock options and other director compensation), other than on arm’s-length terms where the amount involved is not material to either party;

(xiii)whether the director or any of his or her immediate family members received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from the Company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service within the past three years; and

(xiv)whether the director has any other relationships with the Company or the members of management of the Company that the Board has determined to be material and which are not described in (i) through (xiii) above.

After consideration of all applicable matters, the Board determined, based on the above criteria, that none of the directors have a material relationship with the Company other than as a director or as a stockholder except for Mr. Meester, who is not an independent director. The Board considered that Mr. Rossi is the President, CEO and a director of Kennametal, a company that the Company has conducted business with in the past. It was noted that the dollar value of transactions between the Company and Kennametal was less than 0.1% of the Company’s 2023 net sales. Accordingly, the Board has determined that all of the nominees for director are independent directors except for Mr. Meester, who has been nominated to serve on the Board as a result of his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

DIRECTORS AND GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure

The Board recognizes that no single leadership structure is right for all companies at all times, and accordingly the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure. The Company had a combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer position for the past six years, which the Board believed was an appropriate structure at such time because the Board believed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer was best situated to serve as Chairman as he was the director most familiar with the Company’s business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. The Company separated the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions following the retirement of Mr. Garrison at the end of 2023. As Mr.

Meester is new to the Chief Executive Officer position, the Board believes it is desirable to have Mr. Meester focused on the management and operation of the Company’s business without the additional responsibilities of Chairman. Upon the retirement of Mr. Garrison, Mr. Sachs was elected by the Board as Non-Executive Chairman (effective January 1, 2024), allowing the Board to benefit from Mr. Sachs’ prior experience as the Company’s Lead Director and, previously, as the Non-Executive Chairman. However, as the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure, it is possible that the positions could be combined in the future as Mr. Meester gains seniority in the role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Risk Oversight

Management is responsible for identifying key risks and for developing and implementing processes for mitigating and monitoring risks. Management provides enterprise risk management assessments to the Board that describe the most significant risks facing the Company, measures the relative magnitude of the risks, identifies the key drivers for the risks, describes the control measures in place for the risks and discusses the outlook for the risks. The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through direct presentations and committee reports about such risks. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks, financial controls, cybersecurity risks, internal audit and potential conflicts of interest and receives regular internal audit and compliance risk updates from the leader of the Company’s audit services function as well as the

Company’s Chief Sustainability and Compliance Officer. The Company’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s human capital management and executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board as well as environmental, health and safety matters and it receives regular updates from the Company’s Chief Sustainability and Compliance Officer on compliance risks.

The Board also reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each, on a regular basis. In addition, management engages in an in-depth review and dialogue with the Board with respect to the most significant risks facing the Company on a rotating basis throughout the year.

Corporate Governance Principles

The Board and the Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee annually review the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices and the Guidelines. The Board believes that the Guidelines effectively assist the Board in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities and serve the best interests of the Company. These Guidelines reflect the Board’s commitment to monitor the effectiveness of policy and decision making both at the Board and management levels, with a view to achieving strategic objectives of the Company while enhancing stockholder value over the long term. The Board and the Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee will continue to review the Guidelines annually and may make changes as they determine are necessary and appropriate, including

changes that may be necessary to comply with new or proposed laws, rules or regulations issued by the SEC and the NYSE. A copy of the Guidelines is available at the Company’s website, www.terex.com, under “Investor” – “Governance” – “Corporate Governance Documents.” In addition, a copy of the Guidelines is available in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests these materials from the Company.

The Board believes that periodic assessment of director performance is an important governance principle. On an annual basis, directors conduct a survey and rate the performance of the Board and its committees. In addition, on a periodic basis, individual director evaluations are conducted by the Chairman and/or the Non-Executive Chairman/Lead Director.

12 WWW.TEREX.COM

DIRECTORS AND GOVERNANCE

Directors have complete access to management and the Company’s outside advisors, and senior officers and other members of management frequently attend Board and committee meetings at the discretion of the Board or committee, as applicable. It is the policy of the Board that non-management directors also meet privately in executive sessions without the presence of any members of management at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and at such other times as the Board shall determine. In addition, the Board may retain and have access to independent advisors of its choice with respect to any issue relating to its activities, and the Company pays the expenses of such advisors.

If you wish to ask questions or raise concerns with non-management directors of the Board, you may file a report through The Terex Helpline online, at www.ethicspoint.com, or by telephone, at 1-866-493-1856 or 1-866-ETHICSP. Reports should be submitted under the primary issue of “Board of Director Communications.” The Terex Helpline is a confidential and, upon request, anonymous reporting system available 24/7 that is administered by an independent third-party provider. All communications received through The Terex Helpline are available to the Board.

Code of Ethics and Conduct

The Company has adopted a code of ethics and conduct that applies to all of its directors and employees, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, among others. This code of ethics and conduct is a set of written standards reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: honest and ethical conduct; full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure; compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; prompt internal reporting of code violations; and

accountability for adherence to the code. The Company periodically reviews, updates and revises its code of ethics and conduct when it considers appropriate. A copy of the current code of ethics and conduct, which was last updated and released in October 2022, is available at the Company’s website, www.terex.com, under “Investor” – “Governance” – “Corporate Governance Documents.” In addition, a copy of the code of ethics and conduct is available in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests this material from the Company.

DIRECTORS AND GOVERNANCE

Audit Committee Meetings and Responsibilities

The Audit Committee consists of Mses. Cholmondeley (chairperson), O’Connor and Rush and Messrs. Hansen and Salami, each of whom is independent as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE and under the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee met ten times during 2023.

Each member of the Audit Committee is required to be financially literate or must become financially literate within a reasonable time after appointment to the Audit Committee, and at least one member of the Audit Committee must have accounting or related financial management expertise.

The Board, in its business judgment, believes that each of the current members of the Audit Committee is financially literate or has accounting or financial management expertise: Ms. Cholmondeley through her education, training and experience as a former certified public accountant and her involvement in preparing financial statements as the Chief Financial Officer of a large insurance company; Mr. Hansen through his business experience as a corporate executive and his involvement in preparing financial statements as a senior executive of a large multinational company; Ms. O’Connor through her extensive market expertise and deep understanding of capital flows, balance sheets and market liquidity and business experience as a Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer and treasurer for a global financial services firm; Ms. Rush through her business experience as a corporate executive; and Mr. Salami through his education, business experience as a controller and chief accounting officer, and current role as chief financial officer of a global asset management firm. The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Hansen and Salami and Mses. Cholmondeley and O’Connor is an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined under the regulations of the SEC.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by meeting regularly with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and operating and financial management personnel. The Audit Committee reviews the audit performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and reports the results of such audit to the Board. The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s annual financial statements and all material financial reports provided to the stockholders and reviews the Company’s internal auditing, accounting and financial controls. The Audit Committee provides oversight of the controls and procedures regarding the Company’s publicly reported sustainability metrics. The Audit Committee also assists the Board in its oversight of cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee, as well as the Board as a whole, does a self-assessment of its performance annually.

As stated in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee also reviews related party transactions and any

other matters pertaining to potential conflicts of interest or adherence to the Company’s standards of business conduct. Related party transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee, who will approve the transaction only if they determine that it is in the best interests of the Company. In considering the transaction, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant factors, including, as applicable: (i) the Company’s business rationale for entering into the transaction; (ii) the alternatives to entering into a related party transaction; (iii) whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those available to third parties, or in the case of employment relationships, to employees generally; (iv) the potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest and any safeguards imposed to prevent such actual or apparent conflicts; and (v) the overall fairness of the transaction to the Company.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for appointing, setting compensation for, and overseeing the work of, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has established a policy requiring its pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. On a periodic basis, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company provides the Audit Committee an estimate for the services needed and seeks pre-approval of such services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the rules of the SEC on auditor independence. The policy prohibits the Audit Committee from delegating to management the Audit Committee’s responsibility to pre-approve permitted services of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Requests for pre-approval for services must be detailed as to the services to be provided and the estimated total cost and must be submitted to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Financial Officer then determines whether the services requested fall within the guidance of the Audit Committee as to the services that have been pre-approved. If the service was not of a type that was already pre-approved or the estimated cost would exceed the amount already pre-approved, then the Chief Financial Officer seeks pre-approval of the Audit Committee on a timely basis.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board that complies with all applicable requirements of the SEC and the NYSE. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available at the Company’s website, www.terex.com, under “Investor” – “Governance” – “Corporate Governance Documents.” In addition, a copy of the charter is available in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests this material from the Company. This charter sets out the responsibilities, authority and duties of the Audit Committee.

Compensation and Human Capital Committee Meetings and Responsibilities

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee consists of Messrs. DeFosset (chairperson), Hansen, Rossi, and Salami, and Ms. Cholmondeley, each of whom is independent as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE. Each member of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee must have a basic understanding of the components of executive compensation and the role of each component as part of a comprehensive program linking compensation to corporate and individual performance in support of the Company’s objectives. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee met eight times during 2023.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee assists the Board in its responsibilities regarding compensation of the Company’s senior executives and outside directors, including overall responsibility for approving, evaluating and modifying the Company’s plans, policies and programs for compensation of key management personnel. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee establishes compensation arrangements for executive officers and for certain other key management personnel. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee is also responsible for providing general oversight of initiatives related to DEI as well as oversight of the Company’s human capital management practices,

including management development and succession planning. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee does a self-assessment of its performance annually.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board that complies with all applicable requirements of the NYSE. A copy of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee Charter is available at the Company’s website, www.terex.com, under “Investor” – “Governance” – “Corporate Governance Documents.” In addition, a copy of the charter is available in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests this material from the Company. This charter sets out the responsibilities, authority and duties of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. The charter does not provide for any delegation of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee’s duties.

See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for a description of the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and executive compensation program, including a discussion of how the compensation of the Company’s executive officers was determined.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Company conducted a risk assessment of its compensation policies and practices for its employees, including those related to its executive compensation programs. The findings of the risk assessment were discussed with the Compensation and Human Capital

Committee. Based upon the assessment, the Company believes that its compensation policies and practices do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Compensation and Human Capital Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee served as one of the Company’s officers or employees during 2023 or was formerly an officer of the Company. None of the Company’s executive officers served as a member of the compensation committee of any other company that has an executive officer serving as

a member of the Board or Compensation and Human Capital Committee during 2023. None of the Company’s executive officers served as a member of the board of directors of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee during 2023.

Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility (GNCR) Committee Meetings and Responsibilities

The GNCR Committee consists of Mses. O’Connor (chairperson) and Rush, and Messrs. DeFosset, Rossi, and Sachs, each of whom is independent as defined in the

listing standards of the NYSE. The GNCR Committee met five times during 2023.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 15

DIRECTORS AND GOVERNANCE

The GNCR Committee plays a central role in planning the size and composition of the Board, developing criteria and implementing the process of identifying, screening and nominating candidates for election to the Board, recommending corporate governance guidelines and actions to improve corporate governance and evaluating individual director and full Board performance.

In considering whether to recommend any candidate for inclusion in the Board’s slate of recommended director nominees, including candidates recommended by stockholders, the GNCR Committee applies the criteria set forth in the Guidelines and gives consideration to a wide range of factors. These criteria include the candidate’s independence, integrity, diversity, experience, sound judgment in areas relevant to the Company’s businesses, and willingness to commit sufficient time to the Board, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that point in time. Maintaining a balanced experience and knowledge base within the total Board includes considering whether the candidate: (i) is a senior operating executive in a company engaged in the capital and industrial goods industries; (ii) has significant executive management experience for multinational business operations; (iii) has extensive knowledge and experience in financial services and capital markets; (iv) has substantial knowledge of the Company and its business; and (v) has unique knowledge and experience and can provide significant contributions to the Board’s effectiveness. The Board does not have a formal policy regarding director diversity, but considers how the differences in its directors’ backgrounds broaden its business perspective. The Board gives consideration to a

wide range of diversity factors as a matter of practice when evaluating director nominees, such as race, gender, age, national origin, work experience and tenure with the Board and currently encompasses both gender and racial/ethnic diversity, as demonstrated in the “Summary of Director Diversity” section above. All candidates for director are reviewed in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation. For details on how stockholders may submit nominations for directors, see “Other Important Information.”

The GNCR Committee provides oversight regarding the Company’s general approach and strategy for addressing environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters and oversees the Company’s ethics and compliance program. The GNCR Committee is also responsible for overseeing a review and assessment of the performance of the Board and its committees at least annually, including establishing the evaluation criteria and implementing the process for evaluation. The GNCR Committee does a self-assessment of its performance annually, including with respect to the nomination process.

The GNCR Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board that complies with all applicable requirements of the NYSE. A copy of the GNCR Committee Charter is available at the Company’s website, www.terex.com, under “Investor” – “Governance” – “Corporate Governance Documents.” In addition, a copy of the charter is available in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests this material from the Company. This charter sets out the responsibilities, authority and duties of the GNCR Committee.

Director Compensation

The objectives of the Company’s compensation program for outside directors are to: (i) attract and retain independent, high caliber outside directors who are not affiliated with the Company and who provide a balanced experience and knowledge base within the Board; (ii) require a meaningful stock ownership in the Company to align the interests of the outside directors with those of the stockholders; and (iii) provide a total compensation opportunity that approximates the 50th percentile of the Benchmark Companies (as defined below).

In 2023, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed the Company’s outside directors’ compensation program and approved certain changes to better align the compensation program with the Benchmark Companies. The changes are effective in 2024 and are noted below. As a part of its review, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee retained its independent compensation consultant to prepare a report analyzing the Company’s outside directors’ compensation program in comparison with the Benchmark Companies. As a result of such comparison and analysis, the Compensation and Human

Capital Committee determined that the Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee Chair retainer should be increased from $22,500 to $25,000, and that the Non-Executive Chairman retainer should be set at $150,000.

The compensation program for outside directors has two principal components: (i) an annual retainer for service as a Board member; and (ii) an annual retainer for service on a committee or as Non-Executive Chairman/Lead Director. The program is designed to encourage outside directors to receive a significant portion of their annual retainer for Board service in the Company’s Common Stock, to enable directors to defer receipt of their fees and to satisfy the Company’s Common Stock ownership objective for outside directors. The program does not include the payment of additional fees per meeting, as each director is expected to prepare for and participate in all meetings during the year and provide a continuous year-round effort regardless of the formal meeting calendar.

16 WWW.TEREX.COM

DIRECTORS AND GOVERNANCE

Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional compensation by virtue of their being directors of the Company. All directors of the Company are reimbursed for travel, lodging and related expenses incurred in attending Board meetings, committee meetings and other activities in furtherance of their responsibilities as members of the Company’s Board.

Each director receives the equivalent of $240,000 for service as a Board member (or a prorated amount if a director’s service began other than on the day of the Annual Meeting). Each director may elect to receive their fee in (i) shares of Common Stock currently, which may be deferred into the stock fund of the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, (ii) cash, (iii) cash deferred into the bond fund of the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, or (iv) any two of the preceding alternatives in equal amounts. If a director elects to receive shares of Common Stock currently without deferral into the stock fund of the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, then 40% of this amount is paid in cash to offset the tax liability related to such election. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Common Stock into which any fixed sum

translates, Common Stock is valued at its per share closing price on the NYSE on the day immediately preceding the grant date.

Each director is expected to accumulate (for a new director, over the first four years of Board service), the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal in market value to three times the annual retainer for Board service ($720,000). Once this ownership objective is achieved, the director is expected to maintain such minimum ownership level. The intent is to encourage acquisition and retention of Common Stock by directors, evidencing the alignment of their interests with the interests of stockholders. Until such time as a director achieves the ownership objective or if a director shall at any time fall below the ownership objective, directors are expected to invest at least half of their annual retainer in shares of Common Stock until the director has satisfied the ownership objective.

Each director who serves as Non-Executive Chairman/Lead Director or on a committee of the Board receives an annual committee retainer as set forth in the table below:

Committee/Board Position*	Retainer in 2023	Retainer in 2024
Non-Executive Chairman	N/A	$150,000
Lead Director	$50,000	N/A
Audit Committee Chair	$35,000	$35,000
Compensation and Human Capital Committee Chair	$35,000	$35,000
Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee Chair	$22,500	$25,000
Audit Committee Member	$10,000	$10,000
Compensation and Human Capital Committee Member	$10,000	$10,000
Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee Member	$10,000	$10,000

*A Committee Chair shall only receive a committee chair retainer and not a committee member retainer as a result of chairing a committee. In the event the Non-Executive Chairman/Lead Director serves on any committees as either a committee chair or committee member, the Non-Executive Chairman/Lead Director will be eligible to receive a committee retainer in addition to the Non-Executive Chairman/Lead Director retainer.

The retainers listed above are payable in cash and may be deferred into the bond fund of the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan. For a director whose service begins other than on the day of the Annual Meeting, any retainer is prorated. If the Company does not hold an Annual Meeting by the end of May in any year, then any retainer that is scheduled to be paid following the Annual Meeting shall begin to be paid on the last business day of May.

A director who leaves the Board at any time during the year, for any reason, will retain any retainer payments

already received for such year. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee has discretion to authorize the payment of additional fees to any director under extraordinary circumstances. It is the expectation of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee that it will review the Outside Director Compensation Policy and the outside director compensation programs of the Benchmark Companies every two to four years, although it may review them more frequently as circumstances warrant.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Pursuant to rules under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board is asking the Company’s stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with SEC rules.

The Board remains committed to sound corporate governance practices and shares the interest of stockholders in maintaining effective performance-based executive compensation programs at the Company. The Board believes that the Company’s executive compensation programs have a proven record of effectively aligning pay with performance and attracting and retaining highly talented executives. The Board strongly encourages you to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and compensation tables in this Proxy Statement for detailed information on the extensive processes and factors the Committee considered when establishing performance and pay targets and in making decisions regarding actual payouts under the Company’s short and long-term performance based incentive plans.

Accordingly, the Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2023 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Board. Although non-binding, the Board and the Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding the Company’s executive compensation programs.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the advisory resolution on executive compensation.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”), we describe key principles and approaches used to determine elements of compensation paid or awarded to and earned by the following Named Executive Officers whose compensation is set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table”:

•John L. Garrison, Jr., Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer;

•Julie A. Beck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;

•Kieran Hegarty, President, Terex Materials Processing;

•Simon Meester, Former President, Aerial Work Platforms, Current President and Chief Executive Officer; and

•Scott J. Posner, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

This CD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying compensation tables, corresponding footnotes and narrative discussion, as they provide information and context to the compensation disclosures. Additionally, this CD&A should be read in conjunction with our advisory vote on executive compensation, which can be found under “Proposal 2: Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of the Named Executive Officers.”

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) continually reviews the compensation programs for the Company’s executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers (as defined in the Executive Compensation Tables section below), to ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning the executive compensation structure with the Company’s stockholders’ interests and current market practices. The Company’s executive compensation programs are based on the following core principles:

•be competitive with peers to effectively attract and retain talented executives;

•achieve a balance between short-term and long-term compensation;

•foster an ownership culture through the use of equity awards in order to align the interests of executives and stockholders;

•avoid excessive or unnecessary risk taking; and

•take into account the volatility and cyclicality of the Company’s business and industry.

What We Do

✓ We link a substantial portion of total executive compensation directly to performance.

✓ We utilize a mix of performance measures in our incentive plans that align with value creation.

✓ Use quantifiable and measurable performance metrics and goals that are clearly disclosed.

✓ Benchmark compensation against practices in similarly-sized general industry companies.

✓ Target compensation at market median for comparable positions.

✓ Provide significant upside and downside potential for superior and low performance.

✓ We establish threshold levels of performance and we cap payouts at 200% of the target award.

✓ We include ESG and DEI objectives in our annual incentive compensation plan.

✓ We maintain minimum vesting requirements for our time-based equity awards.

✓ We maintain rigorous stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers.

✓ We have a stand-alone clawback policy and maintain additional clawback provisions in our incentive compensation plan and award agreements.

✓ We have an independent Compensation and Human Capital Management Committee which is advised by an independent external compensation consultant.

✓ We engage with stockholders on executive compensation matters each year.

✓ We conduct an annual say-on-pay vote and consider the results when evaluating our executive compensation arrangements.

COMPENSATION

•Our executive compensation program design has resulted in a strong correlation between the Company’s total stockholder return and the total realized compensation of the Company’s CEO during the last three fiscal years.

*    Total Realized Compensation represents: Total compensation, as determined under applicable SEC rules, minus (1) the aggregate grant date fair value of performance-based restricted stock awards that have either been forfeited or whose performance has not yet been achieved and (2) the year-over-year change in pension value and nonqualified deferred compensation earnings, plus (3) the grant date fair value of the performance-based restricted stock awards earned (included in the year earned) and (4) the earnings of options exercised in the year exercised. The Committee believes it is important to compare the Company’s performance with the CEO’s total realized compensation because the total compensation amount included in the Summary Compensation Table includes several items that are driven by accounting and actuarial assumptions, which are not necessarily reflective of compensation actually realized.

**    Total Stockholder Return represents the change in market value of $100, including reinvestment of dividends, invested in Terex stock for the period commencing December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023.

•The Company continued its long-standing engagement efforts with its stockholders both during and outside of the proxy season.

▪The Committee Chairman conducted discussions with five of the Company’s largest stockholders (accounting for approximately 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares) in the fourth quarter of 2023 to discuss the Company’s executive compensation program as part of its shareholder outreach program.

▪Additionally, all of the Company’s stockholders were given the opportunity to ask questions of the Committee’s chairperson and provide feedback on the Company’s executive compensation program at last year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

▪The Company’s CEO, CFO and Investor Relations team engages in frequent communication with the Company’s stockholders and analysts.

•Based on feedback from the Company’s stockholders over the past few years, Mr. Garrison’s annual incentive compensation qualitative targets included ESG and expanded DEI objectives.

Executive Compensation Program

The Committee is composed of solely independent directors committed to applying sound governance practices to compensation decisions. The Committee considers a variety of reports and analyses, such as market survey data, compensation tally sheets and compensation data of peer companies, when making decisions regarding target compensation opportunities and

the delivery of awards to the Company’s executives, including the Named Executive Officers.

The Committee has the sole authority to hire and dismiss the outside compensation consultants to the Committee. For 2023, the Committee retained Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”), an independent, outside consultant, to support it in determining the compensation of the

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 23

COMPENSATION

Company’s executive officers. Pay Governance was not given a narrow list of instructions, but rather was engaged to provide the Committee with any and all information and advice that might assist the Committee in performing its duties and analyzing executive pay packages. In accordance with the Guidelines, the Committee’s compensation consultant did not provide the Company with any other services.

Pay Governance performed a comprehensive analysis of the compensation practices of the Benchmark Companies and provided the Committee with compensation data, including updates regarding trends in executive compensation that the Committee utilized in making its decisions. The comprehensive analysis performed by Pay Governance indicated that the Committee’s mix of target total compensation is in line with typical market practice. In addition, in 2023, the target total cash, target long-term incentives and target total compensation provided to the Company’s executives, in the aggregate, were within the range of competitive market practice.

Compensation Objectives and Principles: The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are to: (i) attract and retain executives with the skills critical to the long-term success of the Company; (ii) motivate and reward individual and team performance in attaining business objectives and maximizing stockholder value; and (iii) link a significant portion of compensation to achieving performance goals and appreciation in the total stockholder return of the Company, so as to align the interests of the executives with those of the stockholders.

The Committee believes that its objectives of pay for performance and retention should be balanced and appropriately competitive with the Company’s peers and competitors, so that successful, high-achieving executives will remain motivated and committed to the Company during all phases of the business cycle. The Committee also believes that generally more than half of an executive’s total compensation opportunity should be aligned with the performance of the Company. As executives progress to higher levels in the Company they have a greater ability to affect the Company’s results and should have an increasing proportion of their pay linked to Company performance and stockholder returns. Annual and long-term incentive compensation opportunities should promote the appropriate focus on short- and long-term individual and corporate strategic business results. Long-term stock-based compensation opportunities should represent a larger proportion of total compensation for Named Executive Officers than short-term cash-based opportunities. Challenging but achievable annual objectives should be compatible with sustainable long-term performance. The allocation in compensation between

short and long-term compensation is generally based on employment market conditions with an emphasis on attraction and retention, as well as attempting to motivate executive officers to achieve excellent results.

Stockholder Engagement: Engagement with its stockholders is a key component of the Company’s corporate governance practices. The Committee seeks and is open to input from its stockholders regarding the Company’s executive compensation program.

The Committee also believes it is important for stockholders to have the ability to voice their comments or concerns on the Company’s executive compensation practices. Accordingly, in 2023 during the annual meeting, the Company gave stockholders the opportunity to ask questions of the Committee chairperson and provide feedback on the Company’s executive compensation program. The Committee’s chairperson will be available at the Annual Meeting to answer any stockholder questions on compensation in a further effort to engage with its stockholders on compensation matters.

The Committee took note of the continued strong stockholder support in recent years reflected in the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (approximately 94% or more voted in favor in each of the last nine years, with 97.5% voting in favor in 2023). However, the Committee still believed it was important to continue to engage with stockholders on compensation matters. Consequently, the Committee Chairman met with five of the Company’s largest stockholders (accounting for approximately 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares) in the fourth quarter of 2023 to discuss the Company’s executive compensation program. Based on these discussions, along with the results of the advisory vote of the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, the Company learned that its stockholders continue to generally approve of the Company’s overall executive compensation program and generally understand the performance oriented nature of the Company’s executive compensation program. The stockholders were very appreciative of the Company’s outreach and also offered comments and suggestions about some of the elements of, and performance metrics used in, the Company’s executive compensation program. The Committee has taken feedback received into consideration in its ongoing efforts to improve the Company’s executive compensation program and the quality of its compensation disclosures. For example, Mr. Garrison’s annual incentive compensation qualitative targets included ESG objectives, and DEI objectives have been expanded as a result of feedback received by stockholders over the past few years.

Executive Compensation Practices

Peer Group: The Committee designs the Company’s total compensation program to be motivational and competitive with the programs of other corporations. The corporations included in the Company’s peer group have been selected based on criteria such as:

•having comparable revenues, assets and market capitalization as the Company;

•being from a similar industry with which the Company competes for executives; and

•being a manufacturing corporation that may not be in the same industry as the Company but that provides similar returns to their stockholders (collectively, the “Benchmark Companies”).

In keeping with current best practices, an annual review of the Company’s peer group was conducted and the

Committee analyzed the composition of the Benchmark Companies. In conducting its annual review in 2023, the Committee determined that all of the Benchmark Companies continued to have revenues that were between one-third and three times the Company’s revenue and the Company’s revenue was appropriately positioned relative to the median of the benchmark Companies. During its review, the Committee also concluded that, following the recent split of Crane Holdings, Co. into two separate businesses (Crane Company, an industrial machinery company, and Crane NXT, Co., an industrial technology company), Crane Company was more aligned with Terex from both a business and size perspective, and therefore Crane Company should be included as the on-going peer company in place of Crane Holdings, Co. The companies currently comprising the Benchmark Companies are:

Peer Group
•Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. •American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. •Carlisle Companies Inc. •Crane Company •Dana Incorporated •Dover Corporation •Flowserve Corporation •The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. •Hubbell Inc. •Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc.	•Kennametal Inc. •Lennox International Inc. •The Manitowoc Company, Inc. •Oshkosh Corporation •Pentair plc •REV Group, Inc. •Rockwell Automation, Inc. •The Timken Company •Trinity Industries Inc. •Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation

Compensation Recoupment Policy: In 2023, the Board and Committee adopted the Terex Corporation Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), which adheres to the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the NYSE. The Clawback Policy requires the Board/Committee to recoup certain incentive-based compensation granted to, paid to or deferred by current and former Section 16 officers of the Company (“Covered Officer(s)”) in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. Under the Clawback Policy, unless an exception applies, the Board/Committee will require recoupment if it determines that incentive-based compensation received by a Covered Officer exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received, had it been calculated based on the restated amounts.

The Board and Committee have additional discretionary authority, via a clawback provision in the Terex Corporation Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Omnibus Plan”), to recover all or a portion of any incentive award granted or paid to an executive in the event the award is affected by a restatement of the Company’s financial results caused by errors, omissions or fraud. This policy is in addition to the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley.

In 2024, the Committee determined that additional clawback language should be included in all of the Company’s long-term time-based and performance-based incentive awards, as well as the Company’s annual incentive awards under the 2018 Omnibus Plan. The terms of such award agreements now provide that the Committee may recoup incentive-based compensation if: (i) the award recipient intentionally violates his or her fiduciary duty to the Company, or a written policy of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s code of ethics and conduct, and any written policy related to harassment, discrimination or retaliation; (ii) the award recipient engages in conduct, or oversees a team member who engages in conduct, and knew of or was willfully blind to such conduct, that could give rise to a termination for cause (even if the Company does not actually terminate the team member); (iii) the award recipient breaches the terms of any confidentiality or other restrictive covenant term or agreement, in each case, owed to or in favor of the Company; or (iv) the award recipient commits any act or omission which is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially adverse or injurious (financially, reputationally or otherwise) to the Company or any of its affiliates.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy: The Company prohibits Terex team members and directors from making

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 25

COMPENSATION

short sales of Terex securities and from engaging in speculative trading in Terex securities, including trading for speculative purposes in puts, calls, publicly traded options or similar instruments on Terex securities. Any Terex team member who wishes to trade in puts, calls or similar instruments on Terex securities for valid financial or tax planning purposes, and not for purposes of speculation, may do so only if they have received prior written approval from the Terex Legal Department. Determinations are made on a case-by-case basis based on the facts and circumstances provided to the Terex Legal Department.

The Company also prohibits Terex team members and directors from purchasing Terex securities on margin or Terex securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Terex securities as collateral for a loan without the prior approval of the Terex Legal Department. Determinations are made on a case-by-case basis based on the facts and circumstances provided to the Terex Legal Department.

Stock Ownership Guidelines: The Company has stock ownership guidelines to encourage acquisition and

retention of the Company’s Common Stock and to foster an ownership culture, thereby aligning the executives’ interests with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. These ownership guidelines are based on a multiple of each executive’s base salary. Shares that count toward meeting the ownership guidelines include shares held outright by the executive, unvested time-based restricted stock or stock units, unvested performance-based stock where performance has been achieved (but these shares remain unvested and only vest in accordance with the original terms of the stock award) and any shares acquired through a Company benefit plan. Unearned performance-based shares/units and unexercised stock options are not counted toward meeting the ownership guidelines. Executive officers are required to achieve their target ownership level within five years of appointment to their position. The following table shows the Named Executive Officers’ ownership levels and their achievement of the relevant target levels as of December 31, 2023:

Named Executive Officer	Annual Salary ($)	Target Ownership Level Guideline (# times base salary)	Total Stock Ownership ($)	Total Stock Ownership versus Annual Salary (#)

Executive Compensation Components

The executive compensation program has three principal components: short-term compensation (base salary and annual incentive), long-term incentive compensation and post-employment compensation, each of which is described below.

While each component of compensation is considered separately, the Committee takes into account the full compensation package afforded by the Company to the individual executive when making its decisions.

Short-Term Compensation

Base Salary: Base salary is determined by evaluating the responsibilities of the position held, the individual’s experience in his/her current position, current performance, future potential and the competitive marketplace for executive talent. The Company’s objective is to provide its executive officers with competitive base

salaries that are, on average, at the median of the Benchmark Companies. Base salaries are reviewed annually to ensure that strong individual performance is reflected in any increase in an executive’s base salary level. The Committee approved the following annual base salary levels for the Named Executive Officers in 2023.

** Mr. Hegarty received his 2022 salary in Pounds Sterling. Amounts shown are converted into U.S. Dollars at an average rate of £1.00 = $1.2451.

*** Mr. Meester’s salary was subsequently increased in May 2023 to $553,025, as a result of his role expanding from President, Genie to President, Aerial Work Platforms.

The Committee believed that the annual base salary increases to Messrs. Garrison, Hegarty, Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck of 2.9%–6% were within the range of base salary increases provided by the Benchmark Companies and appropriate given the positioning of their compensation levels relative to the market data.

The Committee believes that the base salaries in 2023 for the Company’s Named Executive Officers (as defined below) were, in the aggregate, at approximately the 50th percentile of the Benchmark Companies, consistent with the Committee’s objective for base salaries.

Annual Incentive Program: In addition to base salary, each executive officer was eligible to participate in the Company’s annual incentive program under the 2018 Omnibus Plan, which was adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders of Terex in 2018 and in 2021. The Committee’s objective is to provide the Company’s executive officers with an annual incentive opportunity that is competitive with annual incentive target percentage ranges for the Benchmark Companies. The goal of the management annual incentive program is to provide annual incentive opportunity and reward executive officers when their actions drive the overall performance of the Company. While there is downside risk to the executive officer in having a performance component that can result in no award, there is also an upside opportunity if the Company and the individual both perform at or above expectations. This meets the Committee’s objective that superior performance that adds value to the Company and its stockholders should be rewarded and performance that does not meet expectations should have adverse consequences. For 2023, the Committee, in its sole discretion, could decrease or eliminate the payment of an annual incentive award to any participant under certain extraordinary events in accordance with the annual incentive program.

Annual incentive payouts are based upon the Company’s performance and the executive’s individual performance, both measured against previously determined targets. The individual targets include both financial and non-financial metrics, and contain individual and Company performance measures. Mr. Garrison’s annual incentive target for 2023 was 125% of his base salary. The annual incentive targets

of the other executive officers generally range from 65% - 75% of their base salary. The Committee believes this is consistent with its philosophy of paying for superior performance.

In 2023, 80% of the annual incentive target for each of the Named Executive Officers was based upon financial targets determined at the overall Terex consolidated level and the other 20% was based on individual performance metrics.

Named Executive Officer (Other than CEO) Annual Incentive Targets:

Quantitative Targets: The Committee, with the assistance of its compensation consultant, conducted a review of the metrics used by the Company, the Benchmark Companies and other manufacturing companies, as well as the number of metrics used by such other companies. The Committee determined that using two performance metrics continued to be most prevalent among both the Benchmark Companies and other manufacturing companies. It was determined that net working capital as a percentage of net sales (“NWC”) and operating profit of the Company (“Operating Profit”) would be the two financial metrics for the Company’s 2023 annual incentive program as they both aligned with and supported the Company’s business strategy and goals for 2023.

The Committee wanted management focused on driving Operating Profit in 2023; therefore, 75% of the quantitative portion of the annual incentive program was based on Operating Profit. Operating Profit is defined as earnings before interest, other non-operating income (loss) and taxes and excludes certain unusual and non-recurring items such as one-time gains and losses, restructuring and related costs, and acquisition and divestiture impacts. The Committee continued to believe it was appropriate to have Operating Profit measured at the segment level for segment leadership in order to best drive performance. As a result, 2/3 of Mr. Hegarty’s Operating Profit portion was based on Materials Processing’s (“MP”) performance and 1/3 of Mr. Hegarty’s Operating Profit portion was based on overall Company performance. Similarly, 2/3 of Mr. Meester’s Operating Profit portion was based on Aerial Work Platform’s (“AWP”) performance and 1/3 of Mr.

Meester’s Operating Profit portion was based on overall Company performance. Mr. Meester’s Operating Profit was based on AWP’s performance in 2023, as opposed to Genie performance in 2022, as a result of his role expanding from President, Genie to President, Aerial Work Platforms in 2023.

It was also important to the Committee that the Company focus on its working capital; therefore, 25% of the quantitative portion of the annual incentive program was based on NWC. NWC is trade receivables (net of allowance) plus inventory, less trade accounts payable and customer advances, divided by net sales for the trailing twelve months. The NWC amount was calculated on a quarterly basis and performance was measured based on how the Company performed against its annual operating plan targets.

The Committee believes NWC is an important metric as strong NWC augments the Company’s cash conversion characteristics and performance overall. The Committee

believes management should be managing the net working capital levels in relation to the Company’s net sales and the calculation of NWC is a good way to measure management’s success at managing the Company’s net working capital levels. In 2023, the net working capital metric was measured as a percentage of quarterly sales annualized to align with how the Company reports on this metric for its investors.

For 2023, the quarterly targeted NWC amounts are set forth below and the targeted Operating Profit was $479 million for the Company, $238 million for AWP, and $321 million for MP, which amounts were based upon the 2023 operating plan of the Company, approved by the Board in early 2023. The following tables indicate the correlation between the Company’s NWC, the Company’s Operating Profit performance and the payout percentage of the quantitative portion of the annual incentive target:

Qualitative Targets: Individual performance for each of the Named Executive Officers can include all or any combination of segment performance, business unit performance, personal goals, as well as other financial and non-financial measurements and milestones such as safety, ESG and DEI targets. The CEO is responsible for determining individual performance measurements for each of his direct reports. The individual performance calculation for the Named Executive Officers, other than the CEO, is done on a holistic basis in evaluating the achievement of such goals rather than based upon a rigid formula. The difficulty in achieving the targeted goals depends on a variety of factors, some of which are in the executive’s control and some of which are not. These targets are established annually based on the Company’s operating plan for the coming year and in conjunction with the executive’s annual review by the CEO. If the Company achieves its operating plan objectives for the year, the

Committee believes the goals are attainable. Unlike the quantitative targets, the maximum payout percentage for qualitative targets is 100%, although the CEO and the Committee retain discretion to pay up to 120% on a case-by-case basis for extraordinary performance. This is done in an effort to increase the alignment of the executives’ interests and the Company’s stockholders.

The Company’s NWC for 2023, calculated in accordance with the Company’s annual incentive plan, was 20.0%, 19.2%, 20.6% and 20.4% for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2023, respectively, which resulted in a payout of 94.4% of target for this metric. The Company’s Operating Profit, as adjusted for certain unusual and non-recurring items and calculated in accordance with the Company’s annual incentive plan, for 2023 was $645 million, which resulted in a payout of 200% of target for this quantitative metric. MP’s Operating Profit, as adjusted for certain unusual and non-recurring items and calculated

in accordance with the Company’s annual incentive plan, for 2023 was $362 million, which resulted in a payout of 165% of target for this quantitative metric. AWP’s Operating Profit, as adjusted for certain unusual and non-recurring items and calculated in accordance with the Company’s annual incentive plan, for 2023 was $369 million, which resulted in a payout of 200% of target for this quantitative metric.

DEI Stretch Incentive: In 2022, the Committee decided to include an additional DEI stretch incentive as part of the 2022 annual incentive structure in an effort to accelerate the Company’s previous progress in a variety of DEI focus

areas. In 2023, the Committee once again approved a DEI incentive with higher annual targets (0.75% vs. 0.50%) to more quickly advance toward our goal of having a workforce that aligns with its community demographics. If the Company achieved certain DEI stretch targets, all management incentive bonus participants were eligible to receive an additional 10% of the individual’s target annual incentive percentage (subject to increase or decrease as described below). The 2023 DEI targets were as set forth below:

DEI Target	Measurement	DEI 2023 Target	Number of Points	DEI 2023 Achievement
Women in Leadership	0.75% improvement measured globally	19.46%	2	20.00%
Women in Management	0.75% improvement measured globally	20.10%	2	20.10%
Women in Line Roles	0.75% improvement measured globally	15.63%	2	15.58%
Women Overall	0.75% improvement measured globally	19.34%	2	19.12%
Ethnic Groups in Leadership	0.75% improvement measured in U.S.	12.27%	2	12.50%
Ethnic Groups in Management	0.75% improvement measured in U.S.	13.17%	2	14.09%
Ethnic Groups in Indirect Manufacturing/SG&A	0.75% improvement measured in U.S.	21.19%	2	20.69%

The total available points for the Named Executive Officers was 14 points. If the Company achieved 10 points, payout would be at the 10% level. Achievement of 6 points would result in a 5% payout and achievement of 14 points would result in a 15% level. The Committee believed these targets were set at appropriate stretch levels. In 2023, the Company achieved 8 points and therefore a 7.5% payout.

The following table shows the total 2023 annual incentive payout under the 2018 Omnibus Plan and details the annual incentive amount that was earned for the quantitative and qualitative portions of the 2023 annual incentive award for each of the Named Executive Officers other than the CEO.

Due to the Company’s DEI Stretch Incentive achievement, Mr. Garrison earned an additional $98,666 (target amount was $131,555), which resulted in a total annual incentive amount of $2,188,808.

Benefits and Perquisites: The Company previously eliminated substantially all perquisites that applied to its executive officers other than benefits which are also provided generally to all other U.S.-based salaried employees, such as Company-paid life insurance and matching contributions in the Company’s 401(k) Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, dental and vision plans, flexible spending accounts, long and short-term

disability coverage and relocation reimbursements and payments. In addition, executive officers, as well as certain other middle management team members of the Company, may elect to defer compensation and receive matching contributions in one of the Company’s deferred compensation plans.

Generally, perquisites granted to executive officers are allocated to their income and they are required to pay income taxes on such perquisites. The Company does not provide a tax gross up on executive perquisites except as they relate to certain relocation benefits or expatriate assignments.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Long-Term Incentive Compensation: One of the primary components of the Company’s long-term incentive compensation is the granting of restricted stock and/or

cash awards to executive officers, including awards which have a performance-based component. Stock awards have the dual objective of helping to build stockholder

COMPENSATION

value while also serving to retain and motivate the Company’s senior leadership. Long-term incentive compensation is designed to provide wealth creation for executives if stockholder value is created.

The Company’s objective is to provide its executive officers with long-term incentive awards that are generally at the median of the award level at the Benchmark Companies. While long-term incentive awards may include cash and non-cash components, over the past several years all executive long-term incentives have been made in Company stock. The Committee made this determination to better align its objective with majority market practice, including the majority of the Benchmark Companies.

When determining the size of equity awards, the Committee also believes that there is merit in taking into account the amount of equity that an executive owns in the Company, and the Committee undertook an extensive review in 2023 of the equity ownership in the Company of each of the executive officers. However, the overriding factor in determining the size and amount of equity grants is ensuring that grants are motivational and measurable, while providing competitive equity grants that are determined based on grant date economic value. The

Committee also takes into account that the Company competes for corporate management talent in high cost of labor locations when determining the size and amount of equity grants. In 2023, the long-term incentive awards to the Named Executive Officers were, in the aggregate, slightly above the median of the award level at the Benchmark Companies due to the long tenure of certain Named Executive Officers.

In 2023, the long-term compensation awards granted by the Company consisted of time-based restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock awards.

For each of the Named Executive Officers, 65% of the long-term incentive awards were allocated to performance-based restricted stock and 35% allocated to time-based restricted stock. The long-term incentive awards for the entire leadership team of the Company were more heavily performance-based than that of the rest of the Company because the Committee believes the senior leadership team has the highest level of decision-making in the Company and, therefore, has the greatest potential impact on the Company’s overall performance. As a result, the Committee believes their compensation should be more heavily weighted to the Company’s overall performance.

Long-Term Incentive Awards
Named Executive Officer	Performance-Based	Time-Based
John L. Garrison, Jr.	65%	35%
Julie Beck	65%	35%
Kieran Hegarty	65%	35%
Simon Meester	65%	35%
Scott Posner	65%	35%

2023 Long-Term Incentive Awards: The Company’s policy is to make grants of long-term incentive awards in the first quarter of each calendar year, shortly after the Company’s prior year’s results are finalized and both the results and earnings guidance for the coming year are released publicly.

Following that policy, in March 2023, the executive officers were granted long-term incentive awards. The grants for the executives contained both time-based awards and performance-based awards. Each time-based award will vest solely on the passage of time over a three-year period, with one-third of the time-based award vesting on March 15 of each of 2024, 2025 and 2026, to the extent the executive officer is still employed with the Company.

As in previous years, the performance-based awards were generally split between two performance metrics. For 2023, the Committee approved using both total shareholder return (“TSR”) and return on invested capital (“ROIC”) as the performance metrics for the performance-based awards.

The Committee continued to believe that TSR was an appropriate performance measure as it closely aligns this portion of executive pay with stockholder performance. The Committee continued to believe that ROIC was an appropriate performance measure for long-term incentive awards. ROIC is one of the primary measures to assess operational performance, as it measures how effectively the Company uses money invested in its operations, and the Committee believes this is a metric that is strongly aligned with longer-term performance and decision making. ROIC highlights the level of value creation when compared to the Company’s cost of capital. The after-tax measurement of ROIC is important because the Committee believes tax planning and management are important components of the Company’s overall performance. ROIC is determined by dividing the sum of adjusted net operating profit after-tax (“NOPAT”) for each of the previous four quarters by the average of Debt less Cash and cash equivalents plus Stockholders’ equity for the previous five quarters. NOPAT for each quarter is calculated by multiplying Income (loss) from operations by one minus the full year 2023 effective tax rate as adjusted.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 31

COMPENSATION

Debt is calculated using amounts for Current portion of long-term debt plus Long-term debt, less current portion.

Each long-term incentive award included two performance-based awards. The first performance-based award (the “ROIC Award”) is generally contingent upon the Company achieving a targeted ROIC in each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 (the “ROIC Target”). For each of 2023, 2024 and 2025, the proportionate target amount will be received if the Company achieves its ROIC Target for such year, with the amount subject to increase or decrease for attainment above or below the ROIC Target for such year. The ROIC Target for 2023 was 21.4%. As a result of the Company’s ROIC performance of 28.9% in 2023, the executives earned 187.6% of the 2023 portion of the performance-based award. The ROIC Targets for 2024 and 2025 will be based upon the operating plan approved by the Board for the applicable year. The executive officer will earn 100% of the ROIC Award for a particular year if the Company achieves the ROIC Target for such year. Any earned portion of an award will not be paid until the end of the three-year performance period. For performance that fails to meet the ROIC Target, less than 100% of the ROIC Award will be received, with the actual payment amount corresponding directly with the level of achievement under the target (e.g., 90% achievement would result in a 75% payment, 80% achievement would result in a 50% payment, 70% achievement would result in a 25% payment and less than 70% achievement would result in no payment). Alternatively, for performance that exceeds the ROIC Target, greater than 100% of the ROIC Shares will be received, with the actual payment amount corresponding directly with the level of achievement in excess of the target (e.g., 110% achievement would result in a 125% payment, 120% achievement would result in a 150% payment, 140% achievement would result in 200% payment and greater than 140% achievement is capped at a payment of 200%). The Committee, together with its independent consultant, did a thorough review of the long-term incentive awards granted by the Benchmark Companies. The Committee believes the Company’s performance award payout structure and performance ranges support the cyclical nature of our industry and closely aligns with the threshold levels of the Benchmark Companies.

The second performance-based award (the “TSR Award”) is contingent upon the Company achieving a percentile rank of 50th (the “TSR Target”) against the Benchmark Companies for three-year annualized total stockholder return (“TSR”) for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

TSR combines share price appreciation and dividends paid to measure the total return to shareholders. TSR is calculated by adding the change in a company’s stock price during a specified time period to any dividends paid by such company during the time period and dividing that sum by the stock price of such company at the beginning

of the period. The amount of shares earned will be based on the performance attainment as contained in the table below.

TSR Award
	Performance	Payout
Below Threshold	< 30th Percentile	0%
Threshold	30th Percentile	25%
Target	50th Percentile	100%
Maximum	≥ 80th Percentile	200%

The Committee, together with its independent consultant, did a thorough review of the TSR awards granted by the Benchmark Companies. The Committee believes the Company’s performance award payout structure and performance ranges for the TSR awards supports the cyclical nature of our industry and closely aligns with the threshold, target and maximum levels of the Benchmark Companies.

The Committee believes that the three-year period for these awards and these performance metrics helps motivate long-term decision making and better aligns the interests of the executives and the Company’s stockholders. No shares earned prior to the end of the three-year period are paid out until after the end of the three-year period.

As a result of the Company’s 2023 TSR performance, for the annual period between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, the executives earned 125% of the relevant performance-based awards, and for the period between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2023, the executives earned 186% of the relevant performance-based awards.

Special Retention Award: In the fourth quarter of 2023, in connection with the Company’s leadership changes, the Board approved a one-time, special retention award to ensure the Company retained Mr. Hegarty, a key member of the Company’s executive leadership team and President of the MP segment which accounts for approximately half of the Company’s operating income. The equity award was designed to ensure continuity of MP leadership through and beyond the CEO leadership transition time. The table below summarizes the equity award granted to Mr. Hegarty.

Post-Employment Compensation

Retirement Plans and Life Insurance: The Company offers a variety of mechanisms for its executive officers to plan for their retirement. These plans are offered to attract and retain executive officers by offering them benefits similar to those offered by the Benchmark Companies. The retirement plans offered by the Company to its executive officers generally include a 401(k) plan, which is also offered to most of the Company’s U.S. based employees, a deferred compensation plan, an ERISA excess plan and a defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“DC SERP”). See “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” for a description of the Company’s deferred compensation plan and DC SERP.

In addition, each executive officer receives a life insurance benefit that provides his or her family with a core level of security in case of the premature death of the executive officer. The Company provides each U.S. executive officer with a group life insurance benefit that is approximately two times his or her base salary, up to a maximum of $900,000, and Mr. Hegarty with a group life insurance benefit that is approximately three times his base salary.

Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements: Each of the Named Executive Officers is a party to a Change in Control and Severance Agreement with the Company (collectively, the “Executive Agreements”). The Company does not have any agreements that contain excise tax gross ups.

The Executive Agreements provide the Named Executive Officers with a core level of assurance that their actions on behalf of the Company and its stockholders can proceed without the potential distraction of short-term issues that may affect the Company (e.g., merger, buyout, etc.) and helps ensure that they continue to act in the best interests of the Company. In addition, these agreements contain measures that protect the Company as well, such as confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. The key terms of these agreements are generally customary provisions for agreements of this type and are described below in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

(1)See Note M – “Stockholders’ Equity” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a detailed description of the assumptions that the Company used in determining the dollar amounts recognized for financial statement reporting purposes of its stock awards.

(2)The amounts listed in the Stock Awards column are the aggregate grant date fair value amounts computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. The amounts listed in the Stock Awards column include awards that are subject to performance conditions. For the 2023 awards, if the maximum performance is achieved, the stock award amounts for Mr. Garrison, Ms. Beck, Mr. Hegarty, Mr. Meester and Mr. Posner would be $10,856,643, $2,577,810, $4,047,243, $1,935,905, and $1,630,236, respectively.

(3)The 2023, 2022 and 2021 amounts for Messrs. Garrison, Hegarty and Posner, and the 2023 and 2022 amounts for Ms. Beck and Mr. Meester, as applicable, reflect annual incentive awards earned during fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, under the 2018 Omnibus Plan.

(4)As part of its competitive compensation program, the Company in 2023 provided its Named Executive Officers with certain perquisites and other personal benefits. The amounts listed below are the aggregate incremental cost of the benefits and perquisites paid by the Company. The aggregate incremental cost to the Company is computed as the actual out-of-pocket cost to the Company of supplying such perquisite. For example, the amount listed under the Company Paid Life Insurance column is the amount that the Company paid to a third party as a result of providing the life insurance to the Named Executive Officer. As part of their compensation, each of the Named Executive Officers in 2023 received the benefits and perquisites listed in the table below:

(1)The target award levels established for the annual incentive program are established annually in the first quarter and are expressed as a percentage of the Named Executive Officer’s base salary. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” under the heading “Annual Incentive Program” for a description of the annual incentive bonus program. The amounts reflected in the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” columns represent the threshold, target and maximum amounts for awards under the annual incentive bonus program made in 2023 and based on performance in 2023, that were paid in March 2024. Thus, the amounts shown in the “threshold, target and maximum” columns reflect the range of potential payouts when the target award levels were established in the first quarter of 2023. The actual amounts paid pursuant to those awards are reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

(2)The amounts reflected in the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards” columns represent the threshold, target and maximum amounts for performance share awards granted in 2023. The first performance share award is subject to the Company achieving certain ROIC targets and the second performance share award is subject to the Company achieving certain TSR targets. The performance share awards pay $0 for performance below threshold. These performance shares will vest in full in 2026 if the target performance criteria are satisfied. For a description of the process for determining target award levels and the terms of the performance share awards, please refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Compensation.” Upon the earliest to occur of certain changes in control of the Company or the death or disability of the recipient of the grant, any unvested portion of such performance shares shall vest immediately. Dividends, if any, are paid on earned performance shares at the same rate as paid to all stockholders.

(3)The amounts in this column reflect the time-based restricted stock awards granted in 2023. For a description of the process for determining award levels and the terms of such awards, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Compensation.” Upon the earliest to occur of certain changes in control of the Company or the death or disability of the recipient of the grant, any unvested portion of such restricted stock award shall vest immediately. Dividends, if any, are paid on restricted stock awards at the same rate as paid to all stockholders.

(1)The amounts shown in the “Executive Contributions in Last FY” column are included in the “Salary”, “Bonus” and/or “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns of the Summary Compensation Table above.

(2)The amounts shown in the “Registrant Contributions in Last FY” column are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table above.

(3)Includes $2,077,876 for Mr. Garrison, and $241,110 for Mr. Posner, which amounts were included in Summary Compensation Tables in previous years.

Under the Deferred Compensation Plan or ERISA Excess Plan, a Named Executive Officer may defer up to (i) 20% of his/her salary and (ii) 100% of his/her bonus (participants may not defer salary and/or bonus amounts in the same year to both the Deferred Compensation Plan and the ERISA Excess Plan). The deferrals in the Deferred Compensation Plan may be invested in Common Stock or in a bond fund and deferrals in the ERISA Excess Plan may be invested in a number of investment options that generally mirror the investment options of the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan bond deferrals are invested in the Baird Core Plus Bond Fund (Institutional Class). For Deferred Compensation Plan deferrals, the Company makes a contribution of 25% of the Named Executive Officer’s salary and/or bonus that is deferred and invested in Common Stock. For ERISA Excess Plan deferrals, the Company makes a contribution of 100% of the Named Executive Officer’s salary and/or bonus that is deferred to the extent such deferral does not exceed 5% of salary and bonus. The Company does not make a contribution with respect to any deferrals into the Deferred Compensation Plan bond fund. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan and ERISA Excess Plan are always fully vested in their deferrals and any matching contributions received.

The DC SERP is intended to provide certain senior executives of the Company with retirement benefits in recognition of their contributions to the long-term growth of the Company. Participants in the DC SERP with ten or more years of eligible service are vested and entitled to contributions made by the Company to their DC SERP

account. Ms. Beck was credited with five years of service for vesting purposes when she was hired by the Company. Annual contributions are based upon 10% of the participant’s base salary and bonus earned. DC SERP accounts are invested in the Baird Core Plus Bond Fund (Institutional Class). Benefits are payable in a lump sum payout following termination of employment.

The Named Executive Officers may receive payments under the Deferred Compensation Plan and ERISA Excess Plan after their employment terminates, upon their death or if they have an unforeseeable emergency (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan).

In addition, participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to receive all or a portion of their deferral, including the Company’s matching contribution, after the deferral has been in the Deferred Compensation Plan for at least three years. Furthermore, for deferrals made prior to December 31, 2004, if they elect to receive an accelerated distribution under the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Named Executive Officers shall (i) forfeit 10% of the amount of the distribution to the Company, (ii) forfeit any Company matching contribution that has not been in the plan for at least one year due to the accelerated distribution and (iii) be unable to make further deferrals into the plan for at least 12 months. In accordance with Section 409A of the Code, accelerated distributions are not allowed under the Deferred Compensation Plan for any deferrals made after December 31, 2004.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Pursuant to the Executive Agreements in effect as of December 31, 2023, if an executive’s employment with the Company is terminated within six months of a Change in Control (as defined in the Executive Agreements) in anticipation of such Change in Control or within 24 months following a Change in Control, other than for Cause, by reason of death or Permanent Disability or by the executive without Good Reason (each as defined in the Executive Agreements), the executive is to receive (i) two times his/her base salary (Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck would receive one times his/her base salary), (ii) two times his/her target annual bonus (Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck would receive one times his/her annual bonus), (iii) a prorata payment for year-to-date service, and (iv) any accrued vacation pay. This payment is to be paid in a lump sum simultaneously with the executive’s termination or on a monthly basis. In addition, the executive also will receive (a) immediate vesting of unvested stock options, stock grants and cash performance awards, with a period of up to six months following termination to exercise such options, (b) continuing insurance coverage for 24 months from termination (Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck would receive coverage for 12 months), (c) continuation of all other benefits in effect at the time of termination for 24 months from termination (Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck would receive benefits for 12 months) and (d) outplacement services for a period of at least 12 months from termination.

In the event an executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason (other than in connection with a Change in Control), the Company is to pay the executive (i) two times his/her base salary (Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck would receive one times his/her base salary), (ii) two times his/her target annual bonus (this is not applicable for Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck), (iii) a prorata payment for year-to-date service, and (iv) any accrued vacation pay. This amount is to be paid in 24 equal monthly payments (Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck would be paid in 12 equal monthly

payments). In such event, the executive would also have the right to exercise any stock options, long-term incentive awards or similar awards for up to six months following termination, and would immediately vest in non-performance based options and stock awards granted under the Company’s incentive plans that would vest in the 24 months following the date of termination (Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck would immediately vest in the options and stock awards granted to him/her under the Company’s incentive plans that would vest in the 12 months following the date of termination). In addition, the Company would also provide continuing insurance coverage, continuation of all other benefits in effect at the time of termination for 24 months from termination (Messrs. Meester and Posner and Ms. Beck would receive coverage and benefits for 12 months) and outplacement services for a period of at least 12 months from termination.

As part of the Executive Agreements, the executives agree to keep confidential certain Company information and not to disparage the Company. In addition, Messrs. Garrison and Hegarty agree that, for a period of 24 months following the date of termination, and Ms. Beck and Mr. Meester agree that, for a period of 12 months following the date of termination, the executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly engage in or render any services to any Competitive Business (as such term is defined in the Executive Agreements) nor solicit, induce or entice any employee of the Company to leave the Company.

Each Executive Agreement has an initial term of one year and automatically renews for an additional term of one year commencing on each anniversary of the date of the agreement until and unless either party sends written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least six months prior to a renewal date; provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall occur during the initial or renewed term of such agreement, then the Executive Agreement remains in effect until the third anniversary of the date of the Change in Control.

The following table describes the potential payments upon termination or a Change in Control of the Company for Mr. Garrison, assuming that the triggering event took place on December 31, 2023 using the share price of Common Stock as of that day (both as required by the SEC). However, a termination or Change in Control did not occur on December 31, 2023 and Mr. Garrison was not terminated on that date. As discussed below, Mr. Garrison retired from his position as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on December 31, 2023, and separated from the Company on January 1, 2024.

CEO Pay Ratio

For 2023, the median annual total compensation of all employees of the Company (other than the CEO), was $50,729. The annual total compensation of the Company’s CEO was $10,208,430. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of the Company’s CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was approximately 201 to 1 in 2023. The process that we used to determine our median employee in 2023 is summarized below.

In order to determine the median employee from a compensation perspective, the Company used cash salary paid in the 2023 calendar year for all employees worldwide

employed as of December 12, 2023. Salary amounts were annualized for all employees who were hired after January 1, 2023. For those employees compensated in foreign currencies, average exchange rates for the full year 2023 were used to convert their compensation into U.S. dollars. The Company determined that its median employee from a compensation perspective is employed in one of its manufacturing locations in the United States.

Given the different methodologies that various public companies will use to determine an estimate of their pay ratios, the estimated ratio reported above should not be used as a basis for comparison between companies.

Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and the Company’s financial performance for the fiscal years listed below. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with Company financial performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, beginning on page 21.

COMPENSATION

The following table discloses information on “Compensation Actually Paid” (“CAP”) (as defined by SEC rule and further described below) to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) (also referred to as our CEO) and to our other Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”), on an average basis, during the specified years, alongside total shareholder return (“TSR”) and net income metrics, as well as the Company selected performance measure of ROIC, as defined and described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section beginning on page 21. In reviewing this information, it is important to consider that the amounts included in the tables below are described as “compensation actually paid” in accordance with the SEC rules, but such amounts do not necessarily represent compensation actually earned or realized by our PEO and NEOs in such years, as the below calculations are influenced by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in the stock price of outstanding unvested stock award grants.

1 This table shows compensation figures for John L. Garrison, Jr., our PEO, for each of the years listed. The Non-PEO NEOs for whom the average compensation is presented in this table are: for the 2023 fiscal year, Julie Beck, Kieran Hegarty, Simon Meester and Scott Posner; for the 2022 fiscal year, Julie Beck, Kieran Hegarty, Simon Meester and Scott Posner; for the 2021 fiscal year, John D. Sheehan, Kieran Hegarty, Scott Posner and Amy George; and for the 2020 fiscal year, John D. Sheehan, Kieran Hegarty, Scott Posner and Amy George.

2 The amounts shown for CAP have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S K and do not reflect compensation actually realized or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect total compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table with the following deductions (grant date fair value of all equity awards granted during the fiscal year) and additions (the fair value as of the end of the fiscal year of awards granted in that fiscal year that remain outstanding and unvested as of fiscal year-end; the change in fair value from the prior fiscal year-end to that fiscal year-end of equity awards granted in prior years that remained outstanding and unvested at fiscal year-end; and the change in fair value from the prior fiscal year-end through the vesting date of equity awards granted in prior years that vested during that fiscal year), as detailed in the table below. Fair value of time-based awards is based on the price of our common stock at year-end date or, in the case of vesting date, the actual vesting price. The fair value of performance-based awards, except for awards based on a market condition, is based on the same valuation methodology, except year-end values are multiplied by the probability of achievement as of the year-end date or, in the case of vesting date, the vesting date values are multiplied by actual shares earned based on performance. For awards based on a market condition, fair value is based on the Monte Carlo method as of the year-end date or, in the case of vesting date, the actual vesting price and actual shares earned.
