Executive Officer Compensation - Discretionary Bonuses

On April 2, 2026, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved special discretionary cash bonus awards (each, a “Special Bonus” and collectively, the “Special Bonuses”) to be paid to certain of the Company’s named executive officers (each, an officer, and collectively, the “Officers”) in recognition of (i) their efforts with respect to the Company’s multiple acquisitions and in preparation for the divestiture of the Company’s Renewables business during the year ended December 31, 2025 and (ii) the integration of the OmniMax business and other initiatives which will require significant efforts in 2026. Each Special Bonus is equal to 75% of the target bonus under the Company’s Annual Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“MICP”) for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is in addition to the payout of 25% of target which was earned by each Officer under the MICP. Joseph A. Lovechio, the Company’s Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was awarded a Special Bonus of $223,560. Janet A. Catlett, the Company’s Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, was awarded a Special Bonus of $124,925. Katherine E. Bolanowski, the Company’s General Counsel, Vice President and Corporate Secretary, was awarded a Special Bonus of $127,878. Jeffrey J. Watorek, the Company’s Vice President and Treasurer, was awarded a Special Bonus of $52,221.

The Special Bonuses are contingent upon each Officer’s continuous employment and maintaining good standing through the one-year anniversary of receipt of the Special Bonus. If such Officer resigns or is terminated for cause before the one-year anniversary of approval of the Special Bonus, the Officer will be required to repay the amount of the Special Bonus paid to the Officer within thirty days from the date of separation. In addition, the Company may deduct all or a portion of the amount of the Special Bonus that has not been repaid from any amounts owed to the Officer in connection with such Officer’s employment or termination.
