On May 15, 2026, William R. Devlin, Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller of Eagle Materials Inc.

As a part of the Company’s succession planning process, Samuel M. Guzman Jr. will become Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller of the Company, effective as of June 1, 2026. Mr. Guzman is currently the Company’s Vice President - Financial Reporting, a role he has held since July 2025. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Guzman was Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. from 2020 to 2025, and Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of Liquidity Services, Inc. from 2018 to 2020.

Information responsive to Item 5.02(e):

On May 15, 2026, the Compensation Committee approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Salaried Incentive Compensation Program (“Eagle Plan”), a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Under the terms of the Eagle Plan, a pool of 1.2% of the Company’s operating earnings for fiscal 2027 will be available to pay annual bonuses to participating officers, subject to reduction based on individual performance in fiscal 2027 and the following limitations: (i) if the Company’s operating earnings for fiscal 2027 are less than 50% of budget, then no funds will be available for the corporate bonus pool; and (ii) none of the participants in the program will be able to receive a bonus payment in excess of three times (3X) such participant’s annual base salary. The Compensation Committee also determined the applicable percentage of the bonus pool available for payment of the fiscal 2027 annual incentive bonus to the named executive officers participating in the Eagle Plan (Michael R. Haack, President and Chief Executive Officer, 33.0%; D. Craig Kesler, Executive Vice President - Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, 16.0%; and Matt Newby, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, 11.0%).

The Compensation Committee also approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Business Unit Salaried Incentive Compensation Program (“Business Unit Plan”), a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference. Under the terms of the Business Unit Plan, a pool of each of the Company’s participating business unit’s EBITDA will be available to pay annual bonuses to participating officers, subject to reduction based on individual performance in fiscal 2027 and the following limitations: (i) if the participating business unit’s EBITDA for fiscal 2027 is less than 50% of budget, then no funds will be available for that business unit’s pool; and (ii) none of the participants in the program will be able to receive a bonus payment in excess of two times (2X) such participant’s annual base salary. For fiscal 2027, the Compensation Committee set the EBITDA percentage for American Gypsum at 2.00% (“AG Pool”), and for the consolidated cement subsidiaries, at 1.90%, as adjusted with respect to our 50% owned cement joint venture (“Cement Pool”). The Compensation Committee also determined the maximum bonus potential for the named executive officers participating in the Business Unit Plan: Eric Cribbs, President of American Gypsum Company LLC, 8.5% of the AG Pool (subject to a Committee-imposed cap of $450,000); and Tony Thompson, Senior Vice President, Cement East, 4.75% of the Cement Pool (subject to a Committee-imposed cap of $400,000).

The Compensation Committee also approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Special Situation Program (the “SSP”), a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference. Under the terms of the SSP, a pool of 0.2% of the Company’s EBITDA for fiscal 2027, plus any portions of bonus pools under the Eagle Plan, the Business Unit Plan and the business unit long-term compensation plan not paid out or earned, are available to pay annual bonuses to participating employees from the SSP.
