Item 8.01
Other Events
At the 2026 Annual Meeting, Mr. Lewis did not receive a majority
of votes cast with respect to his re-election to the Board. As a result, and in accordance with the majority voting and director resignation
policy included in Company’s bylaws (as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 9, 2026), Mr. Lewis tendered his irrevocable
offer of resignation to the Board on May 14, 2026.
Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis &
Co. (“Glass Lewis”) had previously recommended each year from Mr. Lewis’ retirement in 2021 through 2025 that stockholders
of the Company vote “for” Mr. Lewis as director of of the Company. Prior to the 2026 Annual Meeting, ISS and Glass
Lewis recommended a vote “against” Mr. Lewis’ re-election as a director of the Company at the 2026 Annual Meeting
because (1) Mr. Lewis was appointed to the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”)
and (2) Mr. Lewis previously served as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer until 2021, and is therefore
considered non-independent under applicable ISS and Glass Lewis voting guidelines. Mr. Lewis’ appointment in 2025 to the Nominating
Committee and as the Nominating Committee Chairman took place following the Board’s determination that Mr. Lewis qualified
as independent under applicable New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and SEC independence standards, after more than three years
had elapsed following his retirement as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
The Board, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Nominating Committee
and pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, considered Mr. Lewis’ irrevocable offer of resignation and unanimously rejected
his offer to resign, determining that Mr. Lewis shall remain as a director on the Board. In accordance with the Company’s bylaws,
Mr. Lewis recused himself from both Nominating Committee and Board deliberations regarding this determination. In considering whether
to accept or reject Mr. Lewis’ resignation, the Board, in consultation with the Nominating Committee, considered all factors
believed relevant, including without limitation: (i) the underlying reasons for Mr. Lewis not receiving a majority of votes
cast in favor of his re-election as director (which are attributable to Mr. Lewis’ service as a member of the Nominating Committee,
which, in turn, resulted in the ISS and Glass Lewis “against” recommendations); (ii) Mr. Lewis’ resignation
as Chairman and as a member of the Nominating Committee; (iii) the tenure and qualifications of Mr. Lewis; (iv) Mr. Lewis’
experience as the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, as well as his financial expertise, mergers and acquisitions expertise,
operational expertise, management advisory expertise, building materials, manufacturing and distribution experience, and former third
party building products public company board service; (v) Mr. Lewis’ past and expected future contributions to the Board;
(vi) the overall composition of the Board; (vii) since December 2024, Mr. Lewis has qualified as an independent director
under applicable NYSE independence standards; and (viii) whether accepting the tendered resignation would cause the Company to fail
to meet any applicable rule or regulation, including under NYSE listing standards and federal securities laws.
Mr. Lewis will be replaced as Chairman of the Nominating Committee
by Marietta Edmunds Zakas.
