Election of Directors
(1) Member of the Audit Committee. (2) Member of the Compensation Committee. (3) Member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance committee. Upon the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board has nominated the entire Board for re-election. Biographical information for each director nominee is contained in the following section. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of these nominees will serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and we have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. If any nominee is not able to serve, proxies will be voted in favor of the other nominee and may be voted for a substitute nominee, unless our Board chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on our Board. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them "FOR" the re-election of all current directors.
Certain Stockholder Rights to Nominate Directors
Certain Stockholder Rights to Nominate Directors In addition, we were a party to a director nomination agreement with the Sponsor and a director nomination agreement with certain entities affiliated with Charterhouse that provided the Sponsor with the right to nominate two directors to our Board and that provided Charterhouse with the right to nominate one director to our Board, subject to certain fallaway provisions. Neither of these agreements are currently in effect and Charterhouse has not exercised its nomination right with respect to any directors nominated for election at the Annual Meeting. The Sponsor previously exercised its nomination right with respect to our Chairman, Mr. Kingsley. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Director Nomination Agreements” for more information.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan We maintain an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), in which Mr. Logan and one other managerial employee have historically participated. Each year, eligible employees can elect to defer up to 100% of their base salary, bonus, commissions and/or short-term incentive compensation, as applicable, under the Deferred Compensation Plan. We do not make any matching, discretionary or other similar contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan on behalf of participants. Participants may elect to receive compensation they have deferred upon certain qualifying distribution events (e.g., separation from service, death, disability or at a specified date) at which time account balances are distributed in cash either in a lump sum or annual installments as elected by the participant. If no election is made, account balances are distributed in a lump sum. Annual installments can be for up to five years if the qualifying distribution event is a specified date or 15 years if the qualifying distribution event is due to a separation from service. Account balances are distributed in a single lump sum to the participant’s beneficiary upon the participant’s death or disability. Participants may also elect to receive in a single lump sum, in the event of a separation from service within two years of a change in control of the Company, the entire vested portion of their account balance that was otherwise reserved for payment in installments following a separation from service or at a specified date. Account balances under the Deferred Compensation Plan are credited with a deemed investment return (or credited with a deemed investment loss), determined as if the account was invested in one or more of approximately 20 investment funds made available by the administrator. Participants elect the investment fund(s) in which accounts will be deemed invested. Participants may change their investment elections on a daily basis. The investment vehicle is determined by the administrator if the participant fails to make an investment election.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
(1) Represents the market value of the shares underlying each of the outstanding equity awards, based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of fiscal year 2023, December 29, 2023, which was $10.25. (2) On June 16, 2021, the Sponsor issued 3,200,000 membership interests to Mr. Logan and 700,000 membership interests to Mr. Schopfer (collectively, the “Profits Interests”). The Profits Interests are intended to be treated as profits interests for U.S. income tax purposes, pursuant to which Messrs. Logan and Schopfer will have an indirect interest in the founder shares held by the Sponsor. Each of the profits interests must achieve both service-vesting and performance-vesting conditions in order to vest, with (i) 50% of the time-vesting portion being satisfied on each of the second and third anniversaries of the closing of the Business Combination, which occurred on October 20, 2021 (subject to continued employment on each vesting date) and (ii) the performance-vesting portion being satisfied with respect to (x) 25% of the profits interest grant, upon the value of our Class A common stock trading at $14 per share or more for a specified period of time prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination and (y) 75% of the profits interests grant, upon the value of our Class A common stock trading at $16 per share or more for a specified period of time prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. If the performance-vesting conditions are not met prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination, the profits interests are forfeited for no consideration. The service-vesting condition will be deemed to have been achieved on a change in control. If Messrs. Logan's or Schopfer’s service (i) is terminated without “cause” or (ii) voluntarily ceases for “good reason”, or (iii) their service terminates due to death or disability, 1/3, 2/3 and 100% respectively of the time-vesting portion of the Profits Interests will become service-vested if the termination occurs before the respective first, second or third anniversaries of the closing of the Business Combination. In addition, if a change in control of GSAH, the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries occurs within six months immediately following such termination of employment, then 100% of the time-vesting portion of the Profits Interests will vest as of immediately prior to the change of control. (3) The RSUs vest in four substantially equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to the NEO's continued employment with us on each vesting date.

The actual amount earned will be determined in 2025 based on the actual achievement of the performance goals, subject to our Three-Year Performance Vesting Schedule. (5) The RSUs vest in three substantially equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the NEOs continued employment with us on each vesting date. (6) The PSUs are eligible to vest based on the achievement of the performance goals described above under the heading "Long Term Compensation - PSUs".

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Table
(1) These amounts are included in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. (2) This includes aggregate earnings and dividends for the period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2023. In 2023, no above-market or preferential interest rate options were available on notional investments in the Deferred Compensation Plan. (3) Prior to his 2023 deferral, Mr. Logan’s deferrals occurred prior to the time we became subject to the applicable SEC compensation reporting requirements. Accordingly, none of the disclosed account balance was previously reported for Mr. Logan in the Summary Compensation Table in the Proxy Statements for prior Annual Meetings. Our non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) allows eligible employees to elect to defer up to 100% of their base salary, bonus, commissions and/or short-term incentive compensation, as applicable. We do not make any matching, discretionary or other similar contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan on behalf of participants. Account balances under the Deferred Compensation Plan are credited with a deemed investment return (or credited with a deemed investment loss), determined as if the account was invested in one or more investment funds made available by the administrator. Participants elect the investment fund(s) in which accounts will be deemed invested. Participants may change their investment elections on a daily basis. The investment vehicle is determined by the administrator if the participant fails to make an investment election.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Table
Participants may elect to receive compensation they have deferred upon certain qualifying distribution events (e.g., separation from service, death, disability or at a specified date) at which time account balances are distributed in cash either in a lump sum or annual installments as elected by the participant. If no election is made, account balances are distributed in a lump sum. Annual installments can be for up to five years if the qualifying distribution event is a specified date or 15 years if the qualifying distribution event is due to a separation from service. Account balances are distributed in a single lump sum to the participant’s beneficiary upon the participant’s death or disability. Participants may also elect to receive in a single lump sum, in the event of a separation from service within two years of a change in control of the Company, the entire vested portion of their account balance that was otherwise reserved for payment in installments following a separation from service or at a specified date.
Pension Benefits
Pension Benefits Mr. Eloy receives contributions for the benefit of his accounts with certain French social security and pension schemes. Such benefits will allow Mr. Eloy to retire starting at age 62 (French pension reform may change this to 64) and collect a supplemental retirement benefit in addition to social security according to formulas varying with the circumstances of his retirement but taking into account his age at retirement, the number of quarters of employment he worked during his entire life and the value of his and his employers' contributions to the plan up to the date of retirement. In 2023, the French Subsidiary made contributions to such benefits in the amount of $53,437. Mr. Eloy did not receive any payment under such plans in fiscal year 2023.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control The table below sets forth the amounts of the payments and benefits that each NEO would have been entitled to receive upon a qualifying termination of employment by the Company and/or the occurrence of a change in control, in each case assuming the relevant event occurred on December 31, 2023 (and based on the arrangements described above in the "Employment Arrangements").

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
paid to Mr. Schopfer on October 7, 2022 (the “Schopfer Retention Bonus”) that is not required to be repaid by Mr. Schopfer upon such termination of employment. (2) (i)Two times the sum of base salary and target bonus (one times the sum of base salary and target bonus in the case of Mr. Schopfer), and (ii) a pro-rata portion of the annual incentive bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. In addition, the amount reported also includes the amount of the Schopfer Retention Bonus that is not required to be repaid by Mr. Schopfer upon such termination of employment. (3) A pro-rata portion of the annual incentive bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. In addition, the amount reported also includes the amount of the Schopfer Retention Bonus that is not required to be repaid by Mr. Schopfer upon such termination of employment. (4) Acceleration of equity was calculated based on the market value of the shares underlying each of the outstanding equity awards, based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of fiscal year 2023, December 29, 2023, which was $10.25. (5) Amount reflects the vesting of RSUs and the earned value of PSUs. The reported value of all outstanding performance-based awards is estimated assuming performance is obtained at target level; the actual acceleration of outstanding awards would be calculated based on the level of performance obtained at the time performance is measured pursuant to the applicable award agreement. (6) Represents the amount that Mr. Logan is entitled to receive as a distribution under the Deferred Compensation Plan. (7) Payment of the COBRA health insurance premiums by the Company to Mr. Logan and Mr. Logan's dependents for up to 18 months, and to Mr. Schopfer and Mr. Schopfer's dependents for up to 12 months, following the termination date. (8) Mr. Eloy's cash severance was calculated as follows: annual base salary equal to 12 times his average monthly salary (based on the last 12 months prior to termination) in the amount of $403,765 (€365,849), a special indemnity for a PTO plan he lost eligibility for in 2017 in the amount of $16,691 (€15,123), and Notice Period Pay equal to 3 times his average monthly salary (based on the last 12 months prior to termination) in the amount of $100,941 (€91,462), and statutory and collective termination indemnities in accordance with French Labor Law in the amount of $186,655 (€169,126). Mr. Eloy is also entitled to receive the following payments which are not calculable as of December 31, 2023: The National Collective Agreement for Engineers and Executives for the Metallurgy Sector, in amounts that will vary in accordance with the circumstances of Mr. Eloy's termination. (9) Mr. Eloy's cash severance was calculated as follows: 6 months of his average monthly salary (based on the last 12 months prior to disability) in the amount of $201,882 (€182,924) and a special indemnity for a PTO plan he lost eligibility for in 2017 in the amount of $16,691 (€15,123). (10) Upon Mr. Eloy's retirement, if he is still employed by the French Subsidiary, Mr. Eloy will be entitled to a bonus retirement cash payment from the French Subsidiary in an amount equal to 4 times his average monthly salary (based on the last 12 months prior to retirement), pursuant to the National Collective Agreement for Engineers and Executive for the Metallurgy Sector, equivalent amount is $134,588 (€121,949). In addition, Mr. Eloy will receive a special indemnity for a PTO plan he lost eligibility for in 2017 in the amount of $16,691 (€15,123). (11) Due to Mr. Rossi's voluntary resignation from the Company on November 1, 2023, Mr. Rossi was not entitled to any severance benefits under the Rossi Employment Agreement. Mr. Logan and Mr. Schopfer are also eligible for certain acceleration benefits to their Profits Interests that have not been included in the table above. Assuming (A) the per share price of our Class A common stock received in connection with a change in control and (B) the volume weighted average price of our Class A common stock for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending on December 31, 2023 is, in either case, equal to the closing price of our Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of 2023, December 29, 2023, which was $10.25, then in the event of a change in control that is assumed to have closed on December 31, 2023, then the performance vesting condition of their Profits Interests would have been deemed not to have been achieved and each of Messrs. Logan’s and Schopfer’s Profits Interests would have been forfeited for no consideration. If Messrs. Logan or Schopfer’s service is terminated without “cause” or voluntarily ceases for “good reason” (each as defined in the respective award agreements for the Profits Interests) or if his service terminates due to death or disability, 1/3, 2/3 and 100% respectively of the Profits Interests will become service vested if the termination occurs before the respective first, second or third anniversaries of the closing of the Business Combination (which was October 20, 2021). If Messrs. Logan or Schopfer voluntarily ceases to provide services without good reason after the second anniversary of the Closing, an additional 12.5% of each such Profits Interests will service vest as of the termination date in respect of each full quarter the Award Holder provided services since the most recent service vesting date. In addition, if a change in control occurs within six months immediately following such termination of employment, then all of the outstanding Profits Interests will service vest as of immediately prior to the change of control.

Pay Versus Performance
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 and certain financial performance of our Company. The disclosure included in this section is prescribed by SEC rules and does not necessarily align with how the Company or the Compensation Committee view the link between the Company’s performance and its NEOs pay. For additional information on our compensation programs and philosophy and how we design our compensation programs to align pay with performance, see the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”. The table below presents information on the compensation of our chief executive officer (principal executive officer or “PEO”) and our other NEOs in comparison to certain performance metrics for the covered fiscal years. Net Income (Loss) is not a metric that the Compensation Committee uses when setting executive compensation. The use of the term “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) is required by the SEC’s rules. Neither CAP nor the total amount reported in the Summary Compensation Table reflect the amount of compensation actually paid, earned or received during the applicable year. Per SEC rules, CAP was calculated by adjusting the Summary Compensation Table Total values for the applicable year as described in the footnotes to the table. Note, the Summary Compensation Table Total values for the fiscal period from July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021 and CAP values for all fiscal periods for both our chief executive officer and other NEOs as reported in the table below are driven by the issuance of profits interests awards made by the Sponsor in connection with the Business Combination which vest dependent upon the achievement of specified share price conditions. These awards had not vested as of December 31, 2023.

| The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. | | (3) The amounts reported represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding our PEO), in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. For Fiscal Year 2021 and Partial Fiscal Year 2021, the Company's non-PEO NEOs were Brian Schopfer and Michael Freed. For Fiscal Year 2022, the Company's non-PEO NEOs were Brian Schopfer, Michael Freed, Loic Eloy and Michael Rossi. For Fiscal Year 2023, the Company's non-PEO NEOs were Brian Schopfer, Loic Eloy and Michael Rossi. | | (4) The amounts reported represent the average “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs other than our PEO as a group, computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to such NEOs as a group in the applicable year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made were made to the average of the amounts reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for the NEOs as a group (excluding our PEO) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in footnote 2: |

| The equity award adjustments for each fiscal year include the amounts noted in footnote 2. | | (5) TSR for the Company is calculated based on an assumed $100 investment as of 8/20/2020, the first trading day within the July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021 fiscal period, and the reinvestment of any issued dividends. | | (6) Represents the weighted peer group TSR. The peer group used for this purpose is the Russell 2000 Industrials Index. The peer group TSR calculated for the Russell 2000 Industrials Index is based on an assumed $100 investment as of 8/20/2020, the first trading day within the July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021 fiscal period, and the reinvestment of any issued dividends. The Russell 2000 Industrials Index is utilized to help determine executive pay as Company TSR relative to the Russell 2000 Industrials Index is the basis, in part, by which executive performance awards are earned. | | (7) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company's audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year. The amount of net income reported for the fiscal period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021 reflects the net income relating to the Predecessor for July 1, 2021 through October 19, 2021 and the net income relating to the Successor for October 20, 2021 through December 31, 2021. | | (8) The Company Selected Measure is Adjusted EBITDA. While we consider numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating and determining executive compensation, we consider Adjusted EBITDA, which is one of the measures used to determine annual cash incentive compensation for our NEOs, to be the most important performance measure used by to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs for fiscal year 2023 to Company performance. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, (loss), please see the reconciliation below under “Tabular List of Performance Measures.” Adjusted EBITDA used for our compensation programs differs from reported adjusted EBITDA due to adjustments to remove impacts of current year acquisitions and setting foreign exchange impacts at the targeted exchange rates. |

Description of the Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Performance Metrics The Company’s Compensation Committee reviews a variety of Company-wide and individual factors to link executive compensation actually paid with Company and executive performance, not all of which are presented in the Pay versus Performance table above. To promote strong pay-for-performance orientation when setting executive pay levels, the Compensation Committee considers the Company's absolute and relative TSR, short- and long-term business outlook, including net income and Adjusted EBITDA, and the broader market environment. Moreover, the Company calculates compensation to the PEO and other NEOs on a basis different than the amount reported in the Summary Compensation Table and CAP presented in the Pay Versus Performance table, as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, is not considered by the Board and the Compensation Committee in evaluating or determining executive compensation. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between compensation actually paid and the financial performance metrics presented in the Pay

versus Performance table. We note, however, that since the three reported periods vary in length, CAP and Company performance may not be immediately comparable on a period-by-period basis. That said, we believe the Pay Versus Performance table shows the alignment between CAP to the NEOs and the Company's performance, consistent with our compensation philosophy as described in our CD&A. Specifically, CAP for the Company's PEO increased from ($12,917,132) in Fiscal Year 2022 to $18,137,940 in the most recently completed fiscal period disclosed, and similarly increased for the Company’s average non-PEO NEO from ($55,742) to $2,020,457 over the same comparable fiscal periods. In line with such increase, and because the Russell 2000 Industrials Index is utilized to help determine executive pay, both the Company TSR and Russell 2000 Industrials Index TSR increased from the last fiscal period disclosed to the most recently completed fiscal period. Further, Adjusted EBITDA, the primary measure used by the Committee to link pay and performance, increased from $164,700,000 in Fiscal Year 2022 to $180,700,000 in the most recently completed fiscal period. Finally, our net loss decreased from 288,400,000 to 96,900,000 in the most recently completed fiscal period.
