the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective as of May 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).
Mr. Samborski, age 45, joined the Company in August 2018 and currently serves as President of the West and Specialties Divisions. In January 2025, he assumed the
leadership of the West Division and retained his responsibilities as President of Specialties which he has led since January 2022. Mr. Samborski served as Vice President of Strategic Finance, Procurement and Supply Chain beginning in January 2020
prior to his current roles and served as Vice President of Strategic Finance from 2018 to 2020. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Samborski spent close to ten years in leadership roles at Caterpillar Inc. and Johnson & Johnson. Mr. Samborski
began his career with General Electric Company and was selected for and completed GE’s elite Operations Management Leadership Program. Mr. Samborski holds a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial engineering from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison and an MBA in strategy and general management from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, where he received the Ross Distinguished Scholar Award and graduated with high distinction.
In connection with his promotion to the role of Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, the Company and Mr. Samborski executed an offer
letter (the “Offer Letter”), an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) and an amended and restated employment protection agreement (the “Employment Protection Agreement”). Pursuant to the Offer Letter, Mr.
Samborski’s base salary will be $775,000, his target annual incentive award will be 100% of base salary, his target long-term incentive award will be 260% of base salary, and he will receive a one-time grant of restricted stock units with a grant
date value of $5,000,000, which will vest ratably on the sixth, seventh, and eighth anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Mr. Samborski’s continued employment through such date and the other terms and conditions applicable to ordinary course
grants of restricted stock units to the Company’s executive officers. In addition to the terms described in the Offer Letter, the amended Employment Agreement provides that in the event of a termination by the Company without cause or by Mr.
Samborski for good reason, Mr. Samborski is entitled to a severance amount equal to three times the sum of his base salary and target bonus, continued medical and dental benefits for up to three years, and continued vesting of his outstanding
equity awards. The Employment Agreement includes a three-year post-termination, non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality covenant. The Employment Protection Agreement, which aligns with the Company’s Employment Protection Agreements

bonus paid in the preceding five years) and continuation of benefits for 36 months.
Mr. Samborski received the following compensation and benefits in his current position at the Company since January 1, 2025: an annual base salary of
$527,258, a target annual short-term incentive award of 90% of base salary, a target annual long-term incentive award of 200% of base salary, and a one-time grant of restricted stock units with a grant date value of $2,000,000, which vests ratably
on the third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. Other than such compensation arrangements, Mr. Samborski has no interest in any transaction that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
