Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation
ManagementBoard: FORApprove, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to MillerKnoll’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
More detail
Proposal 2 asks shareholders to approve, on an advisory and non-binding basis, the compensation paid to MillerKnoll’s Named Executive Officers. The resolution incorporates the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and related narrative disclosure in the proxy statement. The vote is required under federal securities law and is held annually in accordance with the frequency supported by shareholders. Management emphasizes that executive compensation is designed to vary with business results and reward sustained improvement in shareholder outcomes. Annual incentive compensation is tied to approved financial and operational performance criteria, while long-term incentives use performance stock units and restricted stock units to align executives with long-term shareholder interests. The Compensation Committee also states that target compensation opportunities and individual pay elements were benchmarked against comparable competitive-market positions. The Committee notes that approximately 96% of votes cast approved the prior year’s say-on-pay proposal, which it views as support for the current framework. The Board recommends voting FOR because it considers the disclosed compensation fair and appropriate in light of Company and executive performance. Although the vote is non-binding, the Board and Compensation Committee will review and consider the result in future compensation deliberations.

Approval of the MillerKnoll, Inc. 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan
ManagementBoard: FORApprove the amended and restated 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan, including an additional 2,800,000 shares reserved for equity awards and authorization for a total of 23,964,945 shares under the plan.
More detail
Proposal 4 asks shareholders to approve the 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which amends and restates the shareholder-approved 2025 plan. The principal requested change is an increase of 2,800,000 shares in the plan reserve, producing total authorization for 23,964,945 shares. The plan supports stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and other stock-based awards. Eligibility extends to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and to non-employee directors, with awards administered principally by the Compensation Committee. Management is seeking approval to maintain equity-based compensation capacity for attracting, retaining, and rewarding personnel while aligning participant interests with shareholders and supporting long-term Company performance. The proposal includes share recycling rules that count full-value awards more heavily and limit replenishment for shares withheld for taxes or exercise costs. It also preserves governance safeguards, including minimum fair-market-value exercise prices and a prohibition on repricing options or SARs without shareholder approval. The plan includes forfeiture and mandatory recoupment provisions tied to Company policies, applicable law, and clawback requirements. Change-in-control provisions address assumed and non-assumed awards, with accelerated vesting or conversion rules depending on the transaction and performance-period status. The Board recommends voting FOR because it believes the expanded reserve and updated plan structure are necessary to continue the Company’s long-term incentive program while maintaining shareholder-protective design features.
