  2. Proposal 1: Election of Directors

    Proposal 1: Election of Directors Our Articles provide that our Board of Directors will be divided into three classes of directors of as nearly equal size as possible and the term of each class of directors is three years. The term of one class expires each year in rotation. Currently, we have nine directors, with three directors serving in each class. At our Annual Meeting, the terms of our two Class III directors will expire. On April 22, 2025, Class III director, Frank G. Heard informed the Board that he would retire from the Board and would not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Heard will continue to serve on the Board until the Annual Meeting. Immediately following the certification of the vote for election of directors at the Annual Meeting, the size of our Board will be reduced to eight directors, with three directors in Class I and II and two directors in Class III. Elizabeth M. Lilly and Mark A. Pompa have been nominated for re-election to our Board as Class III directors. Class III directors re-elected at the Annual Meeting will serve until our 2028 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a director, if re-elected. If any of the nominees becomes unable or unwilling to serve as a director prior to the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board. Alternatively, at the Board’s discretion, the proxies may be voted for a fewer number of nominees. Information about the background and qualifications of the Board nominees standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting and the directors continuing to serve after the Annual Meeting who are not subject to re-election at the Annual Meeting is provided below. Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the two Class III director nominees. Unless a contrary instruction is indicated on the proxy, proxies will be voted FOR the election of the two Class III director nominees.

  12. Procedure for Evaluating Director Nominees

    Procedure for Evaluating Director Nominees Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s procedure for reviewing the qualifications of all nominees for membership on our Board of Directors includes making a preliminary assessment of each proposed nominee, based upon resume and biographical information, willingness to serve and other background information, business experience and leadership skills. Our Board believes that its membership should reflect a diversity of experience, skills, geography, gender, race and ethnicity, and invites directors to annually self-identify certain diversity characteristics that may inform their perspectives and contributions to the Board. The Committee considers each of these factors when evaluating our Board composition, and it considers these factors on an ongoing basis as it identifies and evaluates director candidates. All director candidates who continue in the process are then interviewed by members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and other current directors. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to our Board of Directors for inclusion in the slate of director nominees at a meeting of shareholders, or for appointment by our Board of Directors to fill a vacancy. Prior to recommending a director to stand for re-election for another term, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee applies its director candidate selection criteria, including a director’s past contributions to our Board of Directors, effectiveness as a director, and desire to continue to serve as a director.

  14. Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements During Fiscal 2025

    Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements During Fiscal 2025 We structure director compensation to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors and to further align the interests of directors with the interests of our shareholders. Our Board of Directors approves the compensation for members of our Board of Directors and Committees based on the recommendations of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We target compensation for service on our Board of Directors and Committees generally at the 50th percentile for board service at companies in our peer group of companies, using the same peer group used for executive compensation purposes. Generally, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and discusses the compensation data and analysis provided by management with assistance from the Company's independent compensation consultant. Our Chief Executive Officer participates in the discussions on compensation for members of our Board of Directors. Directors who are employees receive no additional compensation for serving on our Board of Directors. The following table describes the compensation arrangements with our non-employee directors as of the end of fiscal 2025. During fiscal 2025, we increased annual cash retainers for Board members from $65,000 to $75,000, following the foregoing analysis, in order to maintain a market-competitive compensation package for our non-employee directors.

  28. Consulting Assistance, Peer Group and Competitive Market

    Consulting Assistance, Peer Group and Competitive Market Compensation Consultant Independence. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain independent compensation consultants to provide counsel and advice regarding compensation levels for our executive officers and related matters. The Committee retained the services of Willis Tower Watson (“WTW”) for fiscal 2025. The compensation consultant reports directly to the Committee, and the Committee can replace the compensation consultant or hire additional consultants at any time. During fiscal 2025, WTW attended each Committee meeting in person or by video conference, including executive sessions as requested, and consulted with the Chair of the Committee between meetings. As required under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Committee has analyzed whether the work of WTW, as its compensation consultant, raises any conflict of interest, taking into consideration the following factors under the Nasdaq listing rules: (i) WTW does not provide any other services to our Company, except that WTW provided brokerage services for the Company’s property insurance and surety bonds in exchange for fees less than $120,000 in fiscal 2025; (ii) the amount of fees from our Company paid to WTW is less than 1% of WTW’s total revenue; (iii) WTW’s policies and procedures are designed to ensure independence; (iv) neither WTW, nor any member of its consulting team, has any business or personal relationship with any executive officer of our Company, and no member of their consulting team has any business or personal relationship with any member of the Committee; and (v) neither WTW, nor any member of its consulting team, owns any stock of our Company. The Committee has determined, based on its analysis of the above factors, that WTW is independent of our Company and the work of WTW (and the individual compensation advisors employed by WTW) as compensation consultants to the Committee, and the additional services provided by WTW, have not created a conflict of interest. The Committee will continue to annually monitor the independence of its compensation consultant. Peer Group. The selection criteria identified for determining and reviewing our Company’s peer group generally include: •Companies with revenue within a similar range (0.33 to 3.0 multiple). •Companies with market capitalization within a similar range (0.33 to 3.0 multiple). •Companies with market capitalization to revenue ratio of 0.5 or greater. •Companies in the same or similar industries. •Companies with business model similarity, which may include the following: –Coatings for special purposes; –Construction materials, primarily for commercial or industrial applications; –Specialized/customized product lines; –Heavy-duty manufacturing operations and project-directed manufacturing; and –Project-based businesses. •Companies in the same geographic location (to a lesser degree). •Companies included in the prior-year peer group, to help ensure year-over-year consistency (where appropriate). The following 15 firms served as the Company’s peer group for fiscal 2025.

  30. Consulting Assistance, Peer Group and Competitive Market

    Competitive Market. The Committee relies on its independent compensation consultant to help define the appropriate competitive market using a combination of the peer group companies and compensation surveys that contain market compensation information for similarly-sized organizations. The information on the competitive market is used by the Committee: •As an input in designing our compensation plans and philosophy; •As an input in assessing and developing base salary adjustments, annual cash incentive targets and long-term incentive ranges; •To benchmark the form and mix of long-term incentive awards; •To assess the competitiveness of total direct compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers and certain of our other executives; and •To benchmark dilution and overhang levels (dilutive impact on our shareholders of equity compensation) and annual burn rate (the aggregate shares awarded as a percentage of total outstanding shares).

    Annual Cash Incentive Compensation. Annual cash incentive awards create an incentive for achievement of annual financial performance results. These results are measured against objective financial goals based on the annual operating plan approved by our Board of Directors. The awards may be earned below or above target based on the achievement of one or more additional predetermined, objective performance goals based on the annual operating plan approved by our Board of Directors. At least one of the predetermined, objective performance goals must be met at the threshold level in order for any annual cash incentive to be paid to an executive. Generally, if actual results are below threshold performance level for all performance goals or the Company is not profitable, the payout will be zero. If the threshold performance level for one or more, but not all, performance goals is achieved, less than 50% of the target award will be earned based on the weighting allocated to that specific performance goal. If the threshold performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 50% of the target award will be earned; if target performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 100% of the target award will be earned; and if maximum performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 200% of the target award will be earned. For any performance between these levels, award payouts will be interpolated. (1)Ms. Trende joined the Company on July 29, 2024, during fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2025 Annual Cash Incentive Payouts.

    (1)Ms. Trende's actual payout is prorated based on her partial year of service, beginning on July 29, 2024. Her Offer Letter provided Ms. Trende with a guaranteed fiscal 2025 annual cash incentive paid out at 100% of target. Consolidated and Segment Adjusted EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures which are further defined on page 35, and reconciled to GAAP net earnings in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Segment net sales is defined as net sales for a certain segment and includes revenue related to intersegment transactions. Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Our long-term incentive program is designed to align the interests of executives with shareholders and to focus executives on the achievement of long-term sustained performance, entrepreneurship, and delivery of quality products and services, while creating appropriate retention incentives through the use of multi-year vesting schedules. In fiscal 2025, our long-term incentive program for our Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Silberhorn) was comprised of 50% time-based restricted stock awards and 50% performance awards with a three-year performance period, each described in more detail below. Mr. Silberhorn’s long-term incentive award in fiscal 2025 consisted of 40% time-based restricted stock and 60% as a performance award. Dividends or other distributions (whether cash, stock or otherwise) with respect to the awards will accrue during the three-year vesting or other performance period and will be paid only on the shares earned at the end of the period when shares are issued. Restricted Stock Awards. Each year, the Committee approves a time-based restricted stock award for each executive with a preliminary target fixed dollar value based on a percentage of base salary, after reviewing long-term incentives for comparable roles at peer companies, and based on data provided by the independent compensation consultant. For our Chief Executive Officer, the Committee determines the award’s value after considering the results of our Chief Executive Officer’s most recent annual performance evaluation. For our Other Named Executive Officers, our Chief Executive Officer recommends to the Committee increases or decreases in the award’s value based on the executive’s contributions to the Company’s performance, future leadership potential, and subjective evaluation of their individual performance for the just completed fiscal year. Restricted stock awards are granted under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, and they generally vest in three equal annual installments commencing on April 30 of the year following the date of the award. Upon issuance of the restricted stock, each holder is entitled to the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares of restricted stock. Restricted stock awards issued pursuant to the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan accrue dividends and other distributions during the vesting period, which will be paid only if the restricted stock vests. The following table summarizes the restricted stock awards granted to each of the Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2025.

Performance Awards. The Compensation Committee issues performance awards annually, with an overlapping three-year performance period beginning with each fiscal year's award. The Compensation Committee adopted the three-year performance award to better align the Company's long-term incentive plan with market practice and the Company's strategic plan and financial performance goals. In fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee awarded performance awards with a three-year performance period of fiscal 2025 – 2027 to the Named Executive Officers. All performance awards were granted under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan. The performance metrics for the awards are three-year cumulative Adjusted Diluted EPS weighted at 60%, with a target three-year cumulative Adjusted Diluted EPS of $16.04, and average Adjusted ROIC over the three-year performance period, with a target average Adjusted ROIC of 14.20%. The performance awards will settle 50% in cash and 50% in stock. The following table sets forth payout ranges as a percentage of salary at threshold, target and maximum performance with respect to our fiscal 2025 – 2027 performance awards.

Our executive officers receive the same health and welfare benefits as those offered to all other full-time employees, with the exception of enhanced long-term disability benefits being offered to our executive officers. We have entered into change-in-control severance agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers. See “Change-in-Control Severance Agreements” beginning on page 61 and “Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” beginning on page 63 for more information on these arrangements. In order to maintain market-competitive benefits and to encourage our Named Executive Officers to focus on their roles at the Company, we provide a limited number of perquisites, including the reimbursement of financial and estate planning fees of up to $2,000 annually, enhanced long-term disability benefits, payment of relocation expenses, reimbursement of annual executive health physical costs up to $3,000 annually and reimbursement of spousal travel expenses for certain Company events. We do not provide tax reimbursement or tax “gross-ups” on any perquisites.

  47. Policy and Procedures for the Granting of Equity-Based Awards

    Policy and Procedures for the Granting of Equity-Based Awards We currently do not grant stock options. Grants of other equity-based awards, including long-term incentive awards, are generally approved on a regular schedule. However, grants to new hires or for promotions, retention, or purposes other than annual or other broad-based Company-wide grants may be approved outside of regularly scheduled meetings. In those circumstances, the grant date is the date the award is approved, or if the approval date is within a blackout period, the fifth business day following the date on which the Company first releases quarterly earnings following the effective date of the recipient's employment, promotion or recognition, as applicable. The Company will not purposely accelerate or delay the public release of material information in consideration of a pending equity-based award in order to allow an award recipient to benefit from a more favorable stock price. The Company recognizes, however, that a release of information by the Company in close proximity to an equity-based award could create the appearance of an effort to time the announcement to a recipient's benefit, even if no such benefit was intended. Accordingly, management will advise the Compensation Committee whenever it is aware that material non-public information is planned to be released to the public in close proximity to the grant of an equity-based award. The Compensation Committee will consider such information and determine whether to delay the equity-based award to avoid any appearance of impropriety. During fiscal 2025, we did not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

  75. CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

    CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Silberhorn, our Chief Executive Officer and President: For the fiscal year ended March 1, 2025, our last completed fiscal year: •the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than our Chief Executive Officer) was $59,275; and •the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, as reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” beginning on page 53 of this Proxy Statement, was $5,255,526. We reasonably estimate that the ratio of our Chief Executive Officer’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 89 times. Our pay ratio estimate has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates that we used were as follows: We determined that, as of December 31, 2024, our employee population consisted of 4,651 individuals (including full-time and part-time employees, other than our Chief Executive Officer, who were employed on December 31, 2024) working at the Company together with our consolidated subsidiaries. Of these individuals, 4,046 were located in the U.S. and U.S. territories, and 605 were from our subsidiaries in Canada and Brazil. We chose to exclude all 205 of our employees from our Brazil subsidiary, which consists of 4.41% of our workforce, from the identification of “median employee,” as permitted by SEC rules. Our employee population, after taking into consideration the permitted adjustments described above, consisted of 4,446 members. Our adjusted employee population consisted of 4,046 employees in the U.S. and 400 employees located in Canada. We identified our median employee based on the total cash and stock-based compensation earned during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. In making this determination, we annualized the compensation of all full- and part-time permanent employees included in the sample who were hired in calendar year 2024, but did not work for us or our included subsidiaries for the entire twelve-month period described below. For purposes of determining the total cash and stock-based compensation earned, we included: the amount of base salary (or, in the case of hourly workers, base wages including overtime pay) the employee received during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the amount of any cash incentives paid or deferred in such period (which include sales commissions as well as cash incentives that are generally paid for performance during the prior quarter or year), and the amount of any income from stock-based compensation, as reflected in our payroll records. For purposes of identifying the median employee, we applied the average exchange rate for calendar year 2024, which was U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars – 1.3699 CAD. Once we identified our median employee, we then determined that employee’s annual total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determine the annual total compensation of our Named Executive Officers for purposes of the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 53 disclosed above. The annual total compensation for our median employee for fiscal 2025 was determined to be $59,275. This amount was then compared to the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer disclosed above in the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 53, of $5,255,526. The elements included in the Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation are discussed above in the footnotes to the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 53.

    Pay Versus Performance Table As required by the Dodd-Frank Act and SEC regulation, the following table presents, for each of the five most recent fiscal years: •total compensation, as calculated in the "Summary Compensation Table" beginning on page 53, for our current and former President and CEO (the “PEOs”) and an average for our Other Named Executive Officers (“non-PEO NEOs”); •compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to our current and former PEOs and an average for our non-PEO NEOs, an SEC prescribed calculation which adjusts total compensation for the items described below and which does not equate to realized compensation; •our cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”) since the last trading day before the earliest year presented; •our net income; and •our adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”). For a description of our executive compensation program and the factors used by the Compensation Committee to determine pay for our NEOs, see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement.

    (5)This value is based on the Company’s TSR for the period beginning on the last trading day of the year preceding the earliest year presented in the table and ending on the last trading day of the covered year, which includes the reinvestment of dividends paid on our common stock during the relevant period. (6)The peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table is the S&P 600 Industrials Index, which is the same industry index the Company uses for purposes of the stock performance graph in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that the S&P Industrials Index is the best available published industry index, composed of companies with similar market capitalization and a mix of GICS classifications that reasonably reflect our diverse business activities, although most of the direct competitors in our various business units are either privately owned or are divisions of larger, publicly owned companies. (7)Fiscal 2023 Net Income was incorrectly reported as $87,900,000 in the Pay Versus Performance table of our 2023 Proxy Statement. In this Proxy Statement, Fiscal 2023 Net Income has been updated to match the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. (8)Our company-selected measure, which is the measure we believe represents the most important financial performance not otherwise presented in the table above that we use to link compensation actually paid to our PEO and non-PEO NEOs for fiscal 2024 to our performance is Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure which is further defined on page 35, and in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
