On August 5, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Joseph B. Hayek, age 54, to serve as a Class II director, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board also elected Suresh Krishna, age 57, to serve as a Class III director, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2028 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board determined that each of Mr. Hayek and Mr. Krishna is independent under the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and the Company’s director independence standards.
The Board has not yet determined committee assignments for Mr. Hayek or Mr. Krishna. The Company will disclose any committee appointments requiring disclosure under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules by amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Mr. Hayek has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Worthington Enterprises, Inc. since November 2024.

He also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Association of Manufacturers, the Global Advisory Board of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, and the Board of Advisors of the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.
There are no arrangements or understandings between either Mr. Hayek or Mr. Krishna and any other person pursuant to which either was elected as a director of the Company. There are no transactions involving either Mr. Hayek or Mr. Krishna that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S‑K, and neither Mr. Hayek nor Mr. Krishna has any family relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.
As non-employee directors, Mr. Hayek and Mr. Krishna will participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program.

Each award vests in three equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service through each vesting date. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market on August 5, 2026 was $42.96 per share. In addition, Mr. Hayek and Mr. Krishna will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Charitable Matching Contributions Program for Non-Employee Directors, each as described under the heading “Non-Employee Director Compensation” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2026.
