also are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. However, as described below under “How are votes counted?”, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a “broker non-vote”).

What is a “broker non-vote”?

A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares, and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at his/her discretion and (3) there is at least one other proposal on the ballot with respect to which the broker has authority to vote the shares at his/her discretion. Under current New York Stock Exchange interpretations that govern broker non-votes, each of the NomineeDirector Election Proposal Say-on-Pay Proposal and Say-on-Frequency Proposal areis considered a non-discretionary mattersmatter and a broker will lack the authority to vote shares at his/her discretion on such proposals.proposal. The Ratification Proposal, however, is considered a discretionary or “routine” matter and therefore, a broker will be permitted tomay exercise his/her discretion.

discretion to vote for or against that proposal in the absence of your instructions.

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?

With respect to the NomineeDirector Election Proposal, each director nominee is elected at the Annual Meeting by a plurality vote,“majority vote” standard in uncontested elections, which means that for each of the director nominees, with the greatest number of shares voted “FOR” must exceed the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” such nominee for director in order to be elected (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as votes cast even if less than a majority, will be elected.either “FOR” or “AGAINST” that director’s election). There is no cumulative voting.

Any incumbent director nominee who fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Board from time to time. In accordance with such policies and procedures, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or such other committee designated by the Board, will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject such resignation, or whether other action should be taken, and the Board will act taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s or such other committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results.

With respect to the Ratification Proposal, approval requires the Say-on-Pay Proposal and the Say-on-Frequency Proposal, approval of each proposal requires aaffirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Our Board manages or directs the business and affairs of the Company, as provided by Delaware law, and conducts its business through meetings of the Board and twofour standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the CompensationSustainability Committee. Because affiliates of KKR hold more than 50% of our common stock we are considered a “controlled company” as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). As such, we have elected to be exempt from the requirements to have a nominating/corporate governance committee, a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a majority of independent directors on our Board.

Our Board evaluates the Company’s corporate governance policies on an ongoing basis with a view towards maintaining the best corporate governance practices in the context of the Company’s current business environment and aligning our governance practices closely with the interests of our stockholders.

Recent Governance Enhancements
In order to better align our corporate governance with best practices and expand the rights of our stockholders, in 2021 we implemented certain governance enhancements.
Following stockholder approval, we declassified our Board, implemented a majority voting standard in the election of directors, and replaced the supermajority voting requirements in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws with a majority voting standard in order to give our stockholders a more meaningful vote in various corporate matters.
Additionally, the Board recently approved revisions to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines creating a role of Lead Director of the Board. The Lead Director is elected by a plurality vote of the independent directors, or via unanimous vote of the independent directors if via written consent action, and serves until the Board meeting immediately following the third anniversary of appointment, provided, however, the Board may extend such term by any length up to the fifth anniversary of the Board meeting immediately following the appointment. The creation of the Lead Director role reflects the Company’s continued commitment to enhanced corporate governance best practices. The duties and responsibilities of the Lead Director are set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines which is available on our website at www.irco.com under “Investors: Governance: Governance Documents & Charters: Corporate Governance Guidelines.”
Recognizing the importance of sustainability to our Company and to our world, we established a new Sustainability Committee of our Board in October, 2021, focused on overseeing and advising the Board on the Company’s sustainability strategies and initiatives, including reviewing the overall sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and diversity, equity and inclusion strategies, initiatives and goals. We felt that a separate committee focused on these critical topics provides greater oversight and attention than simply having these matters addressed by an existing Board committee.
Our Board and management value the perspective of our stockholders and encourage stockholders to communicate with the Board as described under “―Communications with the Board” below.
Communications with the Board

As described in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, stockholders and other interested parties who wish to communicate with a member or members of the Board, including the chairperson of the Audit, Compensation, Sustainability or CompensationNominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the non-management or independent directors as a group, may do so by addressing such communications or concerns to the Secretary of the Company, 222 East Erie Street,525 Harbor Place Drive, Suite 500, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202.

Director Independence and Independence Determinations

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and NYSENew York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, a director is not independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines define independence in accordance with the independence definition in the current NYSE corporate governance rules for listed companies. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require our Board of Directors to review the independence of all directors at least annually.

In the event a director has a relationship with the Company that is relevant to his or her independence and is not addressed by the objective tests set forth in the NYSE independence definition, our Board of Directors will determine, considering all relevant facts and circumstances, whether such relationship is material.

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs.Kirk E. Arnold, Elizabeth Centoni, William P. Donnelly, Gary D. Forsee, John Humphrey, Kassling, Vande SteegMarc E. Jones and DonnellyTony L. White is independent under the guidelines for director independence set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and under all applicable NYSE guidelines, including with respect to committee membership.
Our Board also has determined that each of Messrs. Donnelly, KasslingForsee and Humphrey is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that Mr. Vande Steegeach of Messrs.

In addition,sum, seven out of the eight current members of our Board of Directors hadhave been determined that Pastor Velasco, who resigned from theto be independent and includes each director other than Mr. Reynal, our Chief Executive Officer.
Annual Independent Board Assessment
Each year, our Board of Directors in October 2017, wasand each of its committees conducts an assessment of its performance. This assessment is overseen and facilitated by an independent underfirm. This independent firm conducts the guidelines for director independenceassessment through a survey process and communicates the results with our Board chair and the chair of each of the committees. The results are then discussed with the full Board of Directors and, if needed, actions are formulated and executed that address any areas of opportunity identified through the assessment.
Incumbent Director Qualifications
In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set forth into expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors’ overall service to our Company during their respective term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any relationships and transactions that might impair such directors’ independence.

Board Structure

Our Board of Directors is led by Mr. Stavros,Reynal, our Chairman. TheChairman, and Mr. Donnelly our Lead Director. Mr. Reynal serves in a combined role of Chief Executive Officer positionand Chairman, which provides the significant advantages of our Chairman having extensive experience with the business and ongoing executive responsibility for the Company. We believe these advantages bolster the Company’s ability to execute on its strategic imperatives and deliver stockholder value. Consistent with best governance practices, we created the new Lead Director role to work closely with our Chairman. This role is currently separate fromheld by Mr. Donnelly and is designed to help coordinate the Chairman position. efforts of the independent and non-management directors to ensure objective judgment with respect to sensitive issues involving the management of the Company and, in particular, the performance of senior management.
We believe that the separationcombined role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, together with our Lead Director role and the other elements of our corporate governance structure, strikes an appropriate balance between strong and consistent leadership and independent and effective oversight of our business and affairs that enables appropriate corporate governance. The Board believes that a combined Chairman and Chief Executive role allows the Company to effectively convey its business strategy and core values to shareholders, customers, colleagues, regulators and the public in a single, consistent voice. The Board also recognizes the necessity of having a strong Lead Director with a clearly defined role and set of responsibilities where the Chairman is not independent. Their leadership is supplemented by engaged and expert committee chairs along with independent-minded, skilled and committed directors.
Our Board does not currently have a policy as to whether the role of Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate and believes that the Company and its stockholders are best served by maintaining the flexibility to determine whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions isshould be separated or combined at a given point in time in order to provide appropriate corporate governanceleadership for us at this time. Accordingly, Mr. Stavros servesthat time given the then-current circumstances. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, in order to maintain the independent integrity of our Board, if the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director, the Board may appoint an independent director as Chairman, while Mr. Reynal serves as our Chief Executive Officer.

Lead Director. See “Recent Governance Enhancements” above for further discussion of the Lead Director role.

We believe that strong independent leadership is essential for our Board to effectively perform its primary oversight functions. We also believe it is critically important for our Board to retain flexibility to determine its leadership structure based on the particular composition of the Board, the individuals serving in leadership positions, the needs and opportunities of the Company as they change over time.

Diversity and Sustainability
Sustainability constitutes a pillar of our corporate strategy and we are committed to embedding environmental, social and governance initiatives into our culture.
Commitment to Diversity - Board of Directors
A key principle of the non-managementCompany’s Board member selection process is to strive to have a diverse Board of Directors. A critical factor that the Board and independent directorsthe Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee carefully consider when assessing potential director candidates is the importance to the Company of ethnic and gender diversity in attendance,board composition. As set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board are required to consider, and to request that any search firm hired by it consider, highly qualified women and diverse candidates as applicable,part of any director search process. The
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Board’s commitment to this focus on Board diversity has resulted in a Board where five of eight current members (62%) are diverse, including two who are female and four who are ethnically diverse. In addition, Board members actively participate as mentors and panel speakers in quarterly events hosted by the Company’s inclusion groups.
Commitment to Diversity - Global Workforce
In 2021, we continued to strengthen our commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion (“DE&I”) within our workforce. These commitments include:
Be a DE&I leader within our industry that mirrors the communities and customers we serve.
Leverage diversity, equity and inclusion to exceed our business goals, attract and retain the best talent and enhance our employees’ experience, and address today’s global challenges.
Cultivate diversity, promote equity and pursue a more inclusive culture that strengthens the sense of belonging for all.
We expect our employees and all individuals we associate with to uphold these aspirations with humility, integrity and respect.
In terms of diverse representation, we have two focus areas: 1) underrepresented populations in the United States and 2) women globally. Our employee base as of December 31, 2021 consisted of 16% underrepresented populations in the U.S. and our goal is to increase the percentage of underrepresented populations in our U.S. employee base to 30% by 2025. Globally, women represented as of December 31, 2021, 22.6% of our population, which exceeded our first year target of 22.25%, and keeps us on track to reach our goal to increase the percentage of women in our global employee population to 25% by 2025.
We are making strides at increasing the number of gender diverse employees in more senior roles with our promotion rate increasing to 40.9%, surpassing our goal of 40%. In addition, 43% of our extended leadership team are gender or ethnically diverse. These advances are reflected in our year-over-year improvement in the employee engagement scores in four categories that we believe are closely connected to DE&I: belonging, growth, inclusion and equal opportunity.
We have expanded our employee inclusion groups to build stronger global connections, advocate for positive change and foster an inclusive culture in the organization. We currently have nine Employee Inclusion Groups (a Black Employee Network Inclusion Group, a Veterans Inclusion Group, a Women Inclusion Group, a Hispanic/LatinX Organization of Leadership and Advancement, Four regional inclusion groups (Europe and Asia Pacific) and One DE&I council in Latin America). An executive leader sponsors each group and provides guidance to establish goals in support of our company strategies, culture and values to their global members.
In addition, we continue to set the groundwork for inclusion by training our employees on unconscious bias and how to recognize bias in the workplace and in ourselves and have deployed our unconscious bias training to more than 82% of our salaried employees and conducted personalized sessions to over 150 leaders on “DE&I Matters.” In 2021, we continued our powerful initiative called “Lean into Change” where employees from across the company participate in culturally sensitive conversations with trust and transparency.
Central to our inclusion strategy is to make all employees true owners of the Company. To that end, we also announced a process by which all new or acquired employees will determinereceive stock in the Company after one year of employment1. We feel that the combination of a solid strategy, strong values and clear expectations, coupled with true employee ownership, provides us strong engagement and a competitive edge.
Commitment to Sustainability
In 2021, we established a Sustainability Committee of our Board to provide oversight and guidance to the execution of our Operate Sustainably strategic imperative. As part of implementing our sustainability strategy, we have embedded sustainability into our culture and company; driving accountability and execution of our sustainability goals and initiatives through our Ingersoll Rand Execution (IRX) process; and providing transparency to the public on our progress in achieving these goals.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In 2020, we conducted a materiality assessment that included the input of employees, customers, stockholders, suppliers and other stakeholders. This assessment identified energy use, product stewardship and innovation, and our employees as our most material topics. Since then, we have continued to structure our environmental, social and governance initiatives around these material topics and deployed IRX processes to help us achieve them.
In 2021, we announced our aggressive corporate sustainability goals designed to reduce the impact of our operations and products on the environment, and support customers and partners in doing the same. Achievement of these goals will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save energy, create safer water for our communities and result in reduced waste to landfill, all of which member will presidedirectly advance progress against our material topics. Further details with respect to our sustainability goals can be found on our website, www.irco.com, under “Investors: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).”
In addition, we continue to focus on transparency with respect to our sustainability progress through our annual sustainability reports, including our 2020 sustainability report released in July 2021, and an investor call on August 6, 2021, where we provided a mid-year update on our sustainability initiatives.
In 2021, we also implemented an enhanced environmental policy that confirms our commitment to a clean environment and compliance with environmental laws and an active environmental management program aimed at such session.

complying with existing environmental regulations and reducing the generation of pollutants in the manufacturing processes.

All of these actions resulted in substantial progress on our sustainability initiatives in 2021. At the beginning of the year, we set a three-year goal to be recognized in the top quartile of industrial companies for sustainability. We achieved this goal in little more than one year with S&P Global and Sustainalytics both recognizing us as being in the top 15% of companies within our sector.
As mentioned above, our Board and management value the perspective of our stockholders and encourage stockholders to communicate with the Board, including with respect to our diversity and sustainability initiatives, as described under “―Communications with the Board” above.
Committee Charters and Corporate Governance Guidelines

PROPOSAL NO. 2—RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2018.

Although ratification is not required by our by-laws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to our stockholders for ratification because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and they are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The shares represented by your proxy will be voted for the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP unless you specify otherwise.

The Audit Committee of the Board considered whether providing the non-audit services included in this table was compatible with maintaining Deloitte & Touche LLP’s independence and concluded that it was.

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence and our Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee has responsibility for engaging, setting compensation for and reviewing the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm. In exercising this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approves all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by any independent registered public accounting firm prior to each engagement.

PROPOSAL NO. 3—NON-BINDING VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act (which was added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”)) and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate resolution subject to stockholder vote to approve, in a non-binding, advisory vote, the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed on pages 22 to 42. While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Board intends to carefully consider the results of this vote.

The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal No. 3 is as follows:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED.”

In considering their vote, stockholders may wish to review with care the information on the Company’s compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 22 to 30, as well as the discussion regarding the Compensation Committee on page 12.

PROPOSAL NO. 4—NON-BINDING VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF
STOCKHOLDER VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, stockholders are being asked to recommend, in a non-binding advisory vote, whether a non-binding stockholder vote to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers (that is, votes similar to the non-binding vote in Proposal No. 3 on page 19) should occur every one, two or three years. While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Board intends to carefully consider the results of the vote.

In considering their vote, stockholders may wish to review with care the information presented in connection with Proposal No. 3 on page 19, the information on our compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 22 to 30 as well as the discussion regarding the Compensation Committee on page 12.

We believe a three-year frequency is most consistent with the Company’s approach to compensation. Our compensation committee reviews the Company’s executive compensation program regularly to ensure alignment with the goals of attracting and retaining individuals with the qualifications to meet the Company’s strategic objectives and creating value for our stockholders. Longer-term and forward-thinking plans and strategies often take more than a year or two to have a meaningful impact on the Company and translate into stockholder value. The Board believes an annual or biennial stockholder vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers would run counter to the goal of encouraging long-term planning and could instead lead to planning that focuses too heavily on short-term achievements. In addition, the Board believes a vote every three years will provide sufficient time for stockholders to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s larger, and more impactful, plans and strategies.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE EVERY “THREE YEARS” WITH RESPECT TO HOW FREQUENTLY A STOCKHOLDER VOTE TO APPROVE, IN A NON-BINDING VOTE, THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS SHOULD OCCUR.

Executive Summary
Business Highlights
Despite the continued challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, direct material and logistics inflation and overall global supply chain disruptions, 2021 was a pivotal year for the Company. We solidified our growth story as we reshaped our portfolio to focus on mission-critical flow creation technologies and high growth sustainable end markets while establishing a new capital allocation strategy designed to enable us to consistently compound earnings over time. We continued our strong operational execution where the commercial effectiveness of our team, driven by our industry-leading Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) process, yielded a backlog at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021 that was our largest ever, and positioned us well for continued strong results in 2022.
In addition, we achieved significant accomplishments across each of our five strategic imperatives in 2021 including:
Deploy Talent. Our NEOsemployees think and act like owners because they are! As a result of our two landmark all employee share grants at the time of our initial public offering and the Merger, all of our employees at such times became owners. Incredibly, the common stock granted to employees through those grants has appreciated from $250 million at time of grant to over $500 million in value as of March 31, 2022. Furthermore, in 2021 we announced a plan to grant shares to new employees -- both those who join us as new hires or via acquisition -- to ensure that all of our employees have the chance to become owners.1 We strongly believe that being an owner helps motivate our engaged employee base to make decisions each day that drive stockholder value creation. We can see the results of the power of ownership as our employee engagement score is up 17% over the last three years and now ranks in the top quartile of manufacturing organizations according to our engagement survey partner.
Expand Margins. By harnessing the power of IRX, we improved the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin 370 basis points since 2019, including an improvement of 160 basis points in 2021 alone. This drove 2021 record Adjusted EBITDA of $1,192 million, up 28%, with a margin of 23.1%.2
Operate Sustainably. We made tremendous progress on our sustainability initiatives in 2021. At the beginning of the year, we set a three-year goal to be recognized in the top quartile of industrial companies for 2017 are:sustainability. We achieved this goal in little more than one yearwith S&P Global and Sustainalytics both recognizing us as being in the top 15% of companies within our sector. This again demonstrates how we can leverage the power of IRX to drive performance across a multitude of different initiatives.
1
Employees must be full time and have one year of service to be eligible. Not available to employees where prohibited by local law or regulation or where such grant is required to be bargained for with an employee union unless such grant is agreed to as part of such bargaining.
2
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric and represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain noncash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss), see Annex A to this Proxy Statement. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Revenue. Comparison to 2019 is based on Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP metrics described in Annex A.

Vicente Reynal, our Chief Executive Officer;
Accelerate Growth. Our unique growth enablers, including Demand Generation, IIoT, and product and service innovation, strongly contributed to growth in the past year. Our Demand Generation engine generated 3x more marketing qualified leads compared to 2018; IIoT-enabled assets were up 250% year over year; and new product innovation increased 95% in 2021. All of this helped drive record orders of $5,765 million, up 31% over 2020, and record revenues of $5,152 million, up 19% over 2020.1
Philip T. Herndon, our Vice PresidentAllocate Capital Effectively. We secured approximately $2 billion in gross proceeds from the divestitures of Club Car and Chief Financial Officer;High Pressure Solutions, and
redeployed over $1 billion to acquisitions in 2021, which represents over 6% of 2021 sales when annualized. We also repurchased $731 million in shares as part of KKR’s final equity sale, established a new $750 million share repurchase program, and initiated a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share during the fourth quarter.
Our purpose-led culture, the power of execution excellence through our IRX processes and our engaged employee base drove this level of execution on each of our strategic imperatives. This in turn led to total stockholder return performance of 35.9% during 2021, which was 84.8% greater than the total return of the S&P 500 Industrials during the same time period of 19.4%.
Stockholder Engagement and “Say on Pay” Results
We value our stockholders’ perspectives on our business and each year proactively interact with investors through numerous engagement activities. In 2021, these included our annual stockholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and various investor conferences and meetings, as well as the establishment of an investor relations newsletter distributed to stockholders on a regular basis. In addition, in August we held an investor conference call focused on ESG and our Sustainability Report, in September we held an investor conference call focused on our capital allocation strategy, and in November we held our first Investors’ Day conference since the Merger. Throughout 2021, management also proactively engaged directly with our top 40 stockholders with actively managed funds, representing approximately 80% of our stockholder base based on share ownership, through quarterly business updates, non-deal roadshows and investor conferences. This resulted in over 300 individual investor touchpoints with these stockholders where we were able to communicate Company strategy and long-term objectives.
At the Company’s annual meeting in June 2021, we received substantial support for our executive compensation program, with over 95% of the stockholders who voted on the “say on pay” proposal approving the compensation of our NEOs, consistent with the positive feedback we received in discussions with our stockholders throughout the year. Based on the positive feedback we received from our major stockholders, in addition to the vote result in 2021, we did not make substantive changes in 2021 to our compensation philosophy or the overall structure of our program. We will continue to keep an open dialogue with our stockholders to ensure that we have a regular pulse on investor perspectives. We hold advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs every three other most highly compensated executive officers who servedyears; we will hold our next advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs in such capacities as of December 31, 2017, namely:2024.

What Guides Our Program

Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

Our executive compensation philosophy is designed to attract and retain individuals with the qualifications to meet the Company’s strategic objectives and create value for our shareholders. We believe that the best way to align our executives with our objectives and create shareholder value is to emphasizecentered on two key compensation principles: (1) significant equity participationtenets and (2) pay-for-performance.

In February 2018, following an evaluation with the assistance of Pearl Meyer of equity-based incentives for our executive officers, the Compensation Committee adopted a new long-term equity incentive program (the “2018 LTI Program”). Under the 2018 LTI Program, our NEOs will receive annual equity awards, 50% of which will begrounded in the form of time-vesting restricted stock units and 50% of which will be infollowing principles:


Compensation Elements
Our compensation philosophy is supported by the form of time-vesting stock options. The following charts illustrate our focus on equity participation by showing that 72% of our CEO’s expected 2018 target base salary, annual incentive, and long-term equity incentive compensation mix and 49% of our other NEOs’ expected 2018 mix is based on long-term equity incentives. See “Compensation Actions Taken in 2018—Long-Term Incentive Compensation”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our commitment to aligning the interests

The following charts illustrate that a majority of our executives to the interests of our shareholders through equity participationNEO annual target total direct compensation (“TDC”) is further evidenced by the fact that in 2017 we adopted what we believe is a market-leading stock ownership and retention policy for our executives and non-employee directors that combines robust stock ownership requirements with retention requirements. See “Stock Ownership and Retention Policy” below. All of our NEOs maintain a significant equity stake in the Company and currently exceed their respective ownership requirements through ownership of vested and exercisable stock options and/or direct investments in our common stock.

In addition to equity participation, we strongly believe in a pay-for-performance culture. This is evidenced by the fact that our annual cash incentive program is 100% based on the financial performance of the Company and its business units and that it accounts for 50% of the expected total cash compensation ofperformance-based. For our CEO, and on89% of total compensation is delivered in variable compensation with the vast majority delivered in long-term incentives. On average, 41%variable compensation for our other NEOs in each case when paid out at target. When paid out at the maximum payout (capped at 200%represents 74% of target), this percentage increases to 67% and 58%, respectively. Also, our executives receive no payout for below threshold performance and we believe that our threshold at 95% of target is more challenging than typical market practice. See “—Executive Compensation Program Elements—Cash Bonus Opportunities—Annual Cash Bonus Opportunity”. Even more importantly, when our short-term cash incentive is combined with our long term equity incentive, it results in 84% of our CEO’s and 70% of our NEOs’ compensation being variable performancetotal compensation.

In addition to equity compensation and our annual cash incentive opportunity, we provide NEOs a combination of the following other compensation components:

Base salary - Fixed pay that is market competitive and sufficient to engage high caliber talent;

Broad-based employee benefits – Fixed pay intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security; and
Severance and other benefits payable upon certain terminations of employment or a change in control - Encourages the continued attention and dedication of our NEOs and provides reasonable individual security to enable our NEOs to focus on our best interests, particularly when considering strategic alternatives.

In 2017 we did not make any equity grants to our NEOs believing that the equity grants made in prior years were sufficiently retentive and fostered the necessary level of alignment with shareholder interests. See “—Executive Compensation Program Elements—Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards”.

Our CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation for the executive officers other than himself. No member of management participates in discussions with the Compensation Committee regarding his or her own compensation.

In connection with our initial public offering, we engaged

The Role of the Independent Consultant. The Committee has retained Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”), a compensation consulting firm, to assist usit in evaluating the elements and levels of our executive compensation, including base salaries, annual cash incentive awards and equity-based incentives for our executive officers. In February 2018,April 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that Pearl Meyer is independent from management and that Pearl Meyer’s work has not raised any conflicts of interest.

Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Committee and the Committee has the sole authority to approve Pearl Meyer’s compensation and may terminate the relationship at any time.

During 2021, Pearl Meyer advised the Committee on a variety of topics, including competitive market assessment for executive and non-employee director compensation levels, compensation peer group review, retirement equity vesting provisions, review of governance matters pertaining to executive and employee compensation, and the structure of short- and long-term incentive programs.
Peer Group.The Committee believes it is important to understand current trends in compensation practices and pay levels for companies that are comparable to Ingersoll Rand. To assist the Committee in this analysis, the Committee, together with its independent consultant and input from management, develops a compensation Peer Group of comparable companies against which it performs benchmarking (the “Peer Group”).
Together with its independent compensation consultant and input from management, the Compensation Committee did not benchmark 2017 compensation against a peer group. However, over the course of the second half of 2017 and early 2018, Pearl Meyer developed a compensation peer group, conducted a competitive market assessmentPeer Group of 13 companies. Companies chosen are comparable in revenue and developed recommendationsenterprise value to the Company, as the Committee believes revenue and enterprise value are key determinants of compensation levels. Companies selected generally have revenue of 1/2x - 2x of Ingersoll Rand’s revenue and enterprise value. In addition to size, companies are in comparable industries where we source executive talent. After taking these considerations into account plus additional input from its compensation consultant, the Committee decided to use the following Peer Group to help set compensation levels for 2021:
AMETEK, Inc.
Avery Dennison Corporation
Celanese Corporation
Dover Corporation
Flowserve Corporation
Fortive Corporation
IDEX Corporation
Mettler-Toledo International, Inc.
Oshkosh Corporation
Parker-Hannifin Corporation

establishing compensation levels and practices, but uses it to support the implementation of the Company’s compensation philosophy and the application of the factors described above when setting executive compensation. Given the Company’s focus on delivering long-term value creation for our stockholders, the Committee generally targets cash compensation of the NEOs at or below the median of the Peer Group and long-term equity incentive compensation greater than the 50th percentile of the Peer Group. Additionally, the Committee may also consider survey compensation data based on companies of similar size to Ingersoll Rand.

2021 Executive Compensation Program Elements

in Detail

Base Salaries

Salary

Base salary is the only fixed component of the Company’s NEOs’NEO cash compensation. An NEO’s base salary is related to the individual’s level of responsibility and provides them with a level of cash income predictability and stability with respect to a portion of their total compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that base salaries for executives should reflect competitive levels of pay and factors unique to each executive such as experience and breadth of responsibilities, performance, individual skill set, time in the role and internal pay parity. Base salaries are

Consistent with our annual review, we determinedphilosophy to increasefocus on long-term variable pay versus fixed cash compensation, the Committee generally established 2021 base salary rates at or below the median of Peer Group salary levels. In light of the economic uncertainty at the time 2021 compensation decisions were made, including the impacts of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the Committee decided for 2021 to maintain base salaries for the majority of each of ourexecutive officers at 2020 rates.
Consistent with this approach, only two NEOs by not more than 3% based on theirreceived base salary increases in 2021.

Cash Bonus Opportunities

Annual Cash Bonus Opportunity

In order to

To tie a significant portion of their annual cash compensation to actual performance, each NEO is eligible for an annual cash bonus award under our management incentive planManagement Incentive Plan (“MIP”), based on the achievement of our financial goals for the Company and their respective business units.

A target annual bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of an NEO’s unreduced base salary in effectrate at year-end, is established within certain NEOs’ offer letters and employment agreementsannually and may be adjusted from time to time by the Compensation Committee in connection with ana NEO’s promotion or performance. The table below shows the 2021 target annual

2021 Performance Measures. The MIP pays out to participants based on levels of performance against financial metrics established by the Committee. To be eligible for a payout, a participant must be employed by the Company through the payment date or have an Approved Retirement (as defined below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control―Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards in the Event of Termination of Employment or Change in Control―Equity awards granted 2018-2021”) on or after the end of the year but before the payment date. To ensure the right level of accountability and line-of-sight, the performance measures vary depending upon the role and responsibility of the NEO. For 2021, annual cash bonus awards for Corporate NEOs (Messrs. Reynal, Kini, Schiesl, and Weatherred) were based on the achievement of overall corporate performance, as described below.

annual cash bonus for 2017 for Messrs. Reynal and Herndonaward was 100% of their respective base salaries, for Mr. Schiesl was 75% of his base salary, for Mr. Snyder was 50% of his base salary and for Mr. Miñarro Viseras was 45% of his base salary.

We generally believe that tying our corporate level NEOs’ bonuses to company-wide performance goals encourages those NEOs to focus on company-wide priorities, and that tying the bonuses of our NEOs at the business segment and business unit level to business segment goals and business unit goals, respectively, rewards these NEOs for achievements with respect to their business segments and units. In 2017, the Compensation Committee decided to base MIP awards for Messrs. Reynal, Herndon and Snyderbased in part on the achievement of overall Industrial Technologies and Services (“ITS”) group performance of our Industrials segment because each serves(excluding the power tools division) and in roles at both the corporate level and the Industrials segment level and the Compensation Committee wanted them to continue to focuspart on the objectivesachievement of Industrials Technologies and Services EMEIA (“ITS EMEIA”) performance, as described below, to reflect his leadership of the Industrials segment since it typically accounts for a significant portion of our total revenue.EMEIA business unit and his ability to impact the overall Industrials Group A detailed description of the 20172021 MIP metricsdesign and the calculation of the actual amounts paid to each of our NEOs areis provided below.

We chose to use

For 2021, 75% of MIP payouts were based on Adjusted EBITDA asperformance. The Committee determined that term is defined elsewhere in this Annual Reporta plan focused on Form 10-KAdjusted EBITDA was appropriate because we believe that it provides a reliable indicator of both our strategic growth and the strength of our overall financial results.

Actual amounts paid Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to Messrs. Reynal, Herndonexclude certain non-cash, nonrecurring and Snyder underother adjustment items. As a balance to our profitability metric and in support of a focus on operational efficiency, the 2017 MIP were calculated by multiplying their target annual bonus for 2017 by the sum of (1) 75% multiplied by the weighted averageremaining 25% of the 2021 MIP payouts were based on Net Operating Working Capital1 as a Percentage of Revenue.

For our Corporate NEOs, Corporate performance against both financial metrics is determined based on achievement for the Company. For our NEO at the ITS group level, Mr. Miñarro Viseras, performance against both financial metrics is based 30% on the total ITS segment (excluding the power tools division), and 70% on the ITS EMEIA region business unit.

The “MIP Business Units” include Energy P&IP, Energy Nash/Garo, Energy Emco, Industrials Americas, Industrials EMEA, Industrials APAC, and Medical. The weighting for each MIP Business Unit is determined by dividing fiscal 2017 Adjusted EBITDA budget for each business unit by the sum of fiscal 2017 Adjusted EBITDA budgets for all the MIP Business Units. To calculate the composite payout percentage for all MIP Business Units, each MIP Business Unit’s corresponding weighting is multiplied by the payout percentage associated with actual 2017 Adjusted EBITDA achievement againstperformance between such levels determined on a linear basis:

No cash incentive award would have been paid to our NEOs whose awards were based partially or entirely on the performance of our MIP Business Units unless actual performance for fiscal 2017 for at least one of the MIP Business Units was at or above 95% of the applicable Adjusted EBITDA target (or, in the case of Mr. Miñarro Viseras, if the performance of our Industrials segment for 2017 was at or above the Adjusted EBITDA target for our Industrials segment). Adjusted EBITDA results are adjusted to the extent that actual foreign exchange rates by country differ by more than 5% of budgeted foreign exchange rates. For performance percentages between the levels set forth above, the resulting payout percentage is adjusted on a linear basis. In addition to setting Adjusted EBITDA targets for our business units, we set an annual corporate expense budget each year and any difference between actual and budgeted corporate expense ismay be allocated to the Adjusted EBITDA at our business units at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.units. While there are no individual goals for purposes of MIP award payments, the Compensation Committee, on the recommendation of Mr. Reynal, may adjust an incentive payment upward or downward for performance-related reasons.reasons for other NEOs. In addition, the Compensation Committee has discretion to adjust MIP award payments for unanticipated events.

IPO Bonuses

For their extraordinary efforts in 2017 in connection with our initial public offering, the Compensation Committee in February 2018 determined to award each of Messrs. Reynal, Herndon, Schiesl and Snyder a one-time discretionary IPO bonus. The IPO bonuses were awarded in the following amounts: Mr. Reynal - $225,000; Mr. Herndon - $125,000; Mr. Schiesl - $100,000; and Mr. Snyder - $75,000.

Sign-on Bonuses

From time to time, we may award sign-on bonuses in connection with the commencement of an NEO’s employment with us. Sign-on bonuses are used only when necessary to attract highly skilled officers to the Company. Generally, they are used to provide an incentive to candidates to leave their current employers or may be used to offset the loss of unvested compensation that they may forfeit as a result of leaving their current employers. Sign-on bonuses are typically subject to a clawback obligation if the officer voluntarily terminates his or her employment with us prior to the first anniversary of the employment commencement date. We did not award any sign-on bonuses to our NEOs in 2017.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

Prior

Our long-term incentive awards, established through our Ingersoll Rand Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (our “2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan”), are intended to our initial public offering, we granted long-term equity-based awards to our executives that were designed to align executives’ and shareholders’ interests, promote performance through a broad ownership mindset, incentivize ourdrive executives to remaindeliver strong stock performance, align our executives’ compensation with long-term value creation, and to attract and retain highly-qualified executives. The details of these awards are as follows:
50% in our servicePerformance Share Units (PSUs). The PSUs have a 3-year performance period that runs from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 (the “Performance Period”) and alignperformance is measured based on Relative TSR vs. S&P 500 Industrials as follows:
Threshold Performance: 35th percentile positioning vs. index = 50% payout
Target Performance: 55th percentile positioning vs. index = 100% payout
Superior Performance: 75th (or greater) percentile positioning vs. index = 200% payout (capped)
The payout under the interestsPSUs is capped at 100% if the Company’s TSR is negative.
TSR is calculated as the appreciation in the price per share of our executives with those

a company’s common stock during the Performance Period (assuming any dividends or distributions are reinvested), expressed as a percentage. Relative TSR is based on the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR against the TSRs of the companies and entities that, on January 1, 2021, comprised the S&P 500 Industrials.1
25% in Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). RSUs vest in equal, annual installments over a four-year period.
25% in Time-Vesting Stock Options. Stock Options vest in equal, annual installments over a four-year period, and expire 10 years from the grant date.

If prior to the end of the Performance Period a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 Industrials on January 1, 2021, ceases to publicly report a share price for the security used to determine the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period, and such company or entity has not become “Insolvent” (as defined in the applicable award agreement), such company or entity will be excluded from the ranking. In addition, if a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 Industrials on January 1, 2021, becomes Insolvent prior to the end of the Performance Period, then such company or entity will be treated as having a cumulative TSR of negative one hundred percent (-100%).

Target annual equity award values were determined based on our competitive market analysis and our compensation philosophy, which calibrates award levels between market median and 75th percentile.
These grant amounts were translated into a target number of our ultimate equity holders. The awards we granted to our NEOs under our long-term incentive program (our “Long-Term Incentive Program”) were in the formperformance share units, shares of restricted stock and stock options with 50% of each award vesting based on time-based vesting conditions (“Time Options”)by taking such dollar amount and 50% of each award vesting based on performance-based vesting conditions (“Performance Options”). The stock options generally vest, if at all, ratably over a three- to five-year period, subject to continued employment throughdividing it by the applicable vesting date and, inper share or per option “fair value” that was used for reporting the case of the Performance Options, achievement of the applicable performance criteria. See “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2017—Terms of Equity Awards—Long-Term Incentive Plan Grants.” The Compensation Committee determined that granting our NEOs stock options would meet our goals of fostering a culture of performance and commitment to our Company. Stock options serve as components of performance-based compensation because they only provide value to our NEOs if the value of our stock appreciates. All equity-based awards under our Long-Term Incentive Program were granted under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.

In addition to granting them long-term equity-based awards, we have given our executive officers the opportunity to, and in some cases, in connectionexpense associated with the commencementgrant under applicable accounting guidance. This “fair value” was based in part on the per share closing price of their employment with us, have required them to, make meaningful investments in our common stock subject to satisfactionon the NYSE on the date of applicable securities law requirements. See “Narrative Disclosure to Summarygrant.

Other Compensation TablePractices and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2017—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.”

In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted a new incentive plan, the Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, pursuant to which we will grant our future long-term equity incentive awards. See “Compensation Actions Taken in 2018—Long-Term Incentive Compensation” below.

Benefits and Perquisites

While our compensation philosophy is to focus on performance-based forms of compensation while providing only minimal executive benefits and perquisites, we provide to all of our employees, including our NEOs, broad-based employee benefitsPolicies that are intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security. These include:

a 401(k) savings plan;
medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage; and
dependent care and healthcare flexible spending accounts.

401(k) Plan

Align Our U.S. eligible employees, including our NEOs, participate in the Gardner Denver, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) plan”), which is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan. For employees hired after January 1, 2014, enrollment in the 401(k) plan is automatic for employees who meet eligibility requirements unless they decline participation. Under the 401(k) plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a participant’s salary contributions to the 401(k) plan. Participants are 100% vested in employee and matching contributions. The maximum contribution to the 401(k) plan is 100% of an employee's annual eligible compensation, subject to regulatory and plan limitations.

Supplemental Excess Defined Contribution Plan

In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary grade of 20 or higher (generally senior managers and above), including the NEOs other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, are eligible to participate in the Gardner Denver, Inc. Supplemental Excess Defined Contribution Plan (the “Excess Contribution Plan”), which is funded through a Rabbi Trust. This plan provides participants with a similar level of benefits afforded to all other eligible employees who are not subject to the limitations imposed by the IRS on our tax-qualified 401(k) plan.

Eligible employees may contribute to the Excess Contribution Plan when they exceed the annual IRS pre-tax contribution limits and the annual catch-up contribution limit for participants age 50 or over. Under the Excess Contribution Plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a participant’s salary contributions to the Excess Contribution Plan. Company matching contributions under the Excess Contribution Plan are contributed in the form of cash rather than our common stock. All employee and Company matching contributions are fully vested immediately.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Limited Perquisites

Executive perquisites are not part of our general compensation philosophy, however we provide limited perquisites and personal benefits that are not generally available to all employees when necessary to attract top talent. These are typically set forth in the offer letters or employment agreements we enter into with our executive officers. See “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2017—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.” For example, in 2017, per his employment agreement, Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to international school assistance and use of a company car. Mr. Snyder was also provided with a housing allowance. In addition, from time to time, we provide tax gross-ups on perquisites we provide in order to allow our NEOs to enjoy the full benefit of the perquisite we are providing.

Severance and Change in Control Agreements

The Company believes that reasonable and appropriate severance and change in control benefits are necessary in order to be competitive in the Company’s executive attraction and retention efforts. As discussed above, the offer letters we enter into with our NEOs provide for certain payments, rights and benefits to the NEOs upon an involuntary termination of employment without Cause (as defined in “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control-Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants” below) from the Company or a termination by the NEO for Good Reason (as defined in “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control-Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants” below). In addition, our equity award agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control in certain circumstances, as more fully described above under “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2017—Terms of Equity Awards.”

Employment Agreements

We do not typically enter into employment agreements with our NEOs; however, we entered into an employment agreement and offer letter with Mr. Miñarro Viseras and offer letters setting forth initial compensation and benefits, as well as severance terms, with each of our other NEOs. Full descriptions of the material terms of the employment agreement and offer letter we entered into with Mr. Miñarro Viseras and the offer letters we entered into with Messrs. Reynal, Herndon, Schiesl and Snyder are presented below in “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2017.”

Risk Management

The Compensation Committee conducts a thorough review of all incentive programs and confirms that our executives are not incented to focus on short-term stock performance or take excessive risk in managing the business. In particular, long-term incentive awards, as a significant portion of total direct compensation and robust stock holding requirements, are structured to align management with the long-term health of the business.

Our Stockholders

Stock Ownership and Retention Policy

To align the interests of our management and directors with those of our stockholders, the Board of Directors concluded that certain of our executive officersexecutives (the “Covered Executives”) and non-employee directors should have a significant financial stake in the Company’s stock. To further that goal, we implemented market-leading stock ownership guidelines (the “Guidelines”) in 2017, (the “Guidelines”).the year we completed our initial public offering. The Covered Executives will beand non-employee directors are required to hold a specific level of equity ownership as outlined below:

below.

Covered Executives: The Guidelines will apply to the Covered Executives in the following Tiers:

Tier One:

Tier Two:

Tier Three:
P&L and Corporate Leaders

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Covered Executives’ Stock Ownership Multiples:three tiers. The stock ownership levels under the Guidelines, expressed as a multiple of the Covered Executive’s annual base annual salary rate as of January 1st of the year, are as follows:

Retention Requirement: There is no required time period within which a Covered Executive must attain the applicable stock ownership level under the Guidelines. However, until the applicable ownership level is achieved, Covered Executives must retain 75% of net shares granted to them. Once the ownership guideline is met, Covered Executives must retain 30% of net shares granted to them; however, thisthem. This requirement drops to 20% for a Covered Executive upon the earlier of a (1) such Covered Executive reaching the age of 55 and (2) such covered executive achieving 10 years of service with the Company andCompany. The requirement terminates upon the earlier of (1) such Covered Executive reaching the age of 60 and (2) such covered executive achieving 15 years of service with the Company.

The shares counted toward these ownership requirements includesinclude shares owned outright and vested stock options. The retention requirement applies to all prior and future grants.

These ownership requirements are set at levels that the Company believes are robust given the Covered Executives’ respective salaries and responsibilities.

Non-Employee Directors: Our non-employee directors are required to hold 75% of net shares granted to them under our benefit plans until they own equity equal to five times their annual cash retainers. Once the ownership guideline is met, directors must retain 30% of the net shares granted to them under our benefit plans until their retirement.

As of January 1, 2018,2022, all of our NEOs and then serving directors who were with the Company for at least one year were in compliance with the applicable stock ownership levels under the Guidelines.

Hedging and Pledging Policies

The Company’s Securities Trading Policy requires executive officers and directors to consult the Company’s General Counsel prior to engaging in transactions involving the Company’s securities. The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits directors and executive officers from hedging or monetization transactions including, but not limited to, through the use of financial instruments such as exchange funds, variable forward contracts, equity swaps, puts, calls, and other derivative instruments, or through the establishment of a short position in the Company’s securities. The Company’s Securities Trading Policy limits the pledging of Company securities to those situations approved by the Company’s General Counsel.

Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy
We have adopted a clawback policy for incentive compensation. The Committee determined that it may be appropriate to recover annual and/or long-term incentive compensation in specified situations. Under the policy, if the Committee determines that incentive compensation of its current and former Section 162(m)16 officers (or any other employee designated by the Board or the Committee) was overpaid, in whole or in part, as a result of a restatement of the Internal Revenue Code

We expect to be able to claim the benefit of a special exemption rule that applies to compensation paid (or compensation in respect of equity awards such as stock options granted) during a specified transition period following our initial public offering. This transition period was previously anticipated to potentially extend until our first annual stockholders meeting that occurs in 2021 pursuant to regulations under the Section 162(m)reported financial results of the Internal Revenue CodeCompany or any of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However,its segments due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements (unless due to a change in accounting policy or applicable law), then the recently enacted Tax Cut and Jobs Act amended Section 162(m)Committee will determine, in its discretion, whether to seek to recover or cancel any overpayment of the Code in several respects, including the elimination the “performance-based compensation” exception under Section 162(m) of the Code for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Pending further guidance under Section 162(m) of the Code, it is unclear whether the post-IPO transition period exception under Section 162(m) will continue to apply to us forincentive compensation paid or awards grantedawarded during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement.

Other Benefits
While our compensation philosophy is to focus on performance-based forms of compensation while providing only minimal executive benefits and perquisites, we provide to all our employees, including our NEOs, broad-based employee benefits that are intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security. These include:
a 401(k) savings plan;
medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage; and
dependent care and healthcare flexible spending accounts.
401(k) Plan
Our U.S. eligible employees, including our NEOs other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, participate in 2018 or beyond. Once applicable guidancethe Ingersoll Rand Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) plan”), which is released,a tax-qualified retirement savings plan. Eligible employees hired on and after January 1, 2014, are automatically enrolled in the 401(k) plan to make pre-tax salary contributions, unless they decline participation. Under the 401(k) plan, we expect the Compensation Committee to consider the implications of Section 162(m) and such guidance in its future compensation decisions.

Compensation Actions Taken in 2018

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

In February 2018, following an evaluation with the assistance of Pearl Meyermatch 100% of the equity-based incentives forfirst 6% of a participant’s eligible pre-tax and/or Roth salary contributions, subject to all IRS annual limits and plan limitations. Participants are 100% vested in employee salary contributions and Company matching contributions. 401(k) plan participants may elect to contribute up to 85% of their annual eligible compensation (either through pre-tax or Roth contributions), subject to annual IRS and plan limitations.

Supplemental Defined Contribution Plan
In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary band of 8 or higher (generally senior directors and above), including the NEOs other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, are eligible to participate in the Ingersoll Rand Supplemental Defined Contribution Plan (the “Supplemental Contribution Plan”), which is funded through a Rabbi Trust. This Supplemental Contribution Plan is intended to permit Company matching contributions on eligible participant compensation contributions to the Supplemental Contribution Plan in excess of the annual limitations imposed by the IRS on our executive officers,tax-qualified 401(k) plan.
Eligible employees may contribute up to 85% of their salary and/or eligible annual bonus compensation to the Compensation Committee adopted the 2018 LTI Program.Supplemental Contribution Plan. Under the 2018 LTI Program, our NEOs will receiveSupplemental Contribution Plan, after an eligible employee exceeds the annual equity awards, 50%IRS pre-tax/Roth contribution limits and the annual catch up contribution limit for participants age 50 and older or compensation limit under the 401(k) plan, we match 100% of which will be in the formfirst 6% of time-vesting

All employee and the time-vesting options awardsCompany matching contributions under the 2018 LTI Program will vestSupplemental Contribution Plan are fully vested immediately.
Limited Perquisites
Executive perquisites are not part of our general compensation philosophy; however, we provide limited perquisites and personal benefits that are not generally available to all employees when necessary to attract top talent. For instance, beginning in equal annual installments on2021, certain of our senior executives, including each of the first four anniversariesNEOs, are eligible for a tax and financial planning benefit, under which participating executives are reimbursed up to $10,000 per year for qualified services and participation in our executive physical program.
In addition, from time to time, we may set forth additional perquisites in offer letters or employment agreements we enter into with our executive officers. These arrangements are discussed under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of the grant date, except that the awards grantedPlan-Based Awards in 2018 will vest2021—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.” For example, in equal annual installments on each of the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The Compensation Committee determined that, in 2018, awards under the 2018 LTI Program would be made to our NEOs in the following amounts: Mr. Reynal — $4,000,000; Mr. Herndon — $1,000,000; Mr. Schiesl — $675,000; Mr. Snyder — $400,000;2021, per his employment agreement, Mr. Miñarro Viseras — $500,000. These grant amounts were translatedwas entitled to international school assistance and use of a company car.
Severance and Change in Control Agreements
The Company believes that reasonable and appropriate severance and change in control benefits are necessary in order to be competitive in the Company’s executive attraction and retention efforts. As discussed below, the offer letters we enter into with our NEOs provide for certain payments, rights and benefits to the NEOs upon an involuntary termination of employment without “cause” or a number of stock options and restricted stock units by taking such dollar amount and dividing ittermination by the per share or per option “fair value” that will be usedNEO for reporting the compensation expense associated with the grant under applicable accounting guidance, which “fair value” will be based“good reason” (as such terms are defined in part on the per share closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant.

Executive Severance Benefits – Mr. Snyder and Mr. Miñarro Viseras

In February 2018, in connection with our annual review of our executive compensation, we approved an increase to the benefits to which Messrs. Snyder and Miñarro Viseras are entitled in the event of certain qualifying terminations to align them with the severance benefits to which our other senior executive officers are entitled.

Under the terms approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2018, if the Company terminates Mr. Snyder’s employment without Cause (as that term is defined below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers uponUpon Termination of Employment or Change in Control—SeveranceControl-Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants”) or if Mr. Snyder terminates his below). In addition, our equity award agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control in certain circumstances and upon certain qualifying terminations of employment, as more fully described above under “―Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2021―Terms of Equity Awards.”

Risk Management and Mitigation of Compensation Policies and Practices
The Committee has reviewed our incentive compensation programs, discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program, considered various mitigating factors, and reviewed these items with us for Good Reason (as that term is defined below under “Potential Paymentsits independent consultant, Pearl Meyer. In addition, our Committee asked Pearl Meyer to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control—Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants”), subject to Mr. Snyder’s continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in his management equity agreements and his execution of a customary waiver and release agreement, he will be entitled to receive:

Continued payment over a 12-month period (the “Severance Period”) of his annual base salary earned in respectconduct an independent risk assessment of our fiscal year precedingexecutive and other compensation programs. Based on these reviews and discussions, the fiscal yearCommittee does not believe our compensation program creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.
For the foregoing reasons, the Committee has concluded that the programs by which our executives are compensated strike an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term compensation and incentivize our executives to act in whicha manner that prudently manages enterprise risk.
Employment Agreements
We entered into offer letters setting forth initial compensation and benefits, as well as severance terms, with Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl and Weatherred at the termination date occurs, payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the Severance Period; and
Continued group health coverage (on the same basis as actively employed employeestime of the Company), subject to his electing to receive benefits under COBRA, for 12 months following the date histheir initial employment. In addition, we entered into an employment terminates (or, if earlier, through the date that he becomes employed by another employer and eligible for health insurance coverage at such employer).

The Compensation Committee also approved in February 2018 a mutual twelve-month advance notice period for a termination of Mr. Miñarro Viseras's employment not for cause or without good reason, during whichagreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras may be released from his work duties but will still be entitledwhen he joined the Company in 2016, and we entered into a new employment agreement with him in October 2018 in connection with our competitive review of executive officer compensation. Full descriptions of the material terms of the employment agreements we entered into with Mr. Miñarro Viseras and the offer letters we entered into with Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl, and Weatherred are presented below in “―Narrative Disclosure to remuneration.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EBITDA” refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus transaction, management and/or similar fees paid to KKR and/or its affiliates; provided that the Board may, following consultation with the CEO, adjust the calculationoption to terminate him immediately with a lump sum payment of adjusted EBITDA to reflect, to the extent not contemplated in the management plan, any extraordinary or one-time events, including, without limitation, acquisitions, divestitures, major capital investment programs, changes in accounting standards, stock expense related to the issuance12 months’ salary.

For more details of stock options, or other extraordinary or unusual events or occurrences, or any costs or expenses incurred during such period relating to environmental remediation, litigation or other disputes in respect of events and exposures that occurred prior to the end of the relevant fiscal year.

We also granted Performance Options to Mr. Schiesl in 2014, and to Mr. Reynal in 2015. The Performance Options granted to Mr. Schiesl in 2014 were eligible to vest and become exercisable with respect to up to 20% of such Performance Options on December 31st of each of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date, if and only to the extent that the Company achieves the annual adjusted EBITDA performance targets set by the Compensation Committee. The Performance Options granted to Mr. Reynal in 2015 were eligible to vest and become exercisable with respect to up to 33.3% of such Performance Options on December 31st of each of 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date, if and only to the extent that the Company achieves the annual adjusted EBITDA performance targets set by the Compensation Committee.

The fiscal 2017 adjusted EBITDA performance target for purposes of determining vesting of Performance Options was $470 million and our actual adjusted EBITDA performance for fiscal 2017 was $561.5 million. Therefore, 33.3% of the Performance Options granted in May 2016 to Messrs. Reynal, Herndon and Snyder and to Mr. Reynal in 2015 and 20% of the Performance Options granted in May 2016 to Mr. Miñarro Viseras, in December 2016 to Messrs. Herndon and Snyder and to Mr. Schiesl in 2014 vested on December 31, 2017.

If the Company does not achieve the adjusted EBITDA performance target in 2018, but the Company’s adjusted EBITDA in respect of fiscal year 2018 equals or exceeds the adjusted EBITDA performance threshold set by the Compensation Committee for fiscal year 2018 then one-quarter (1/4) of the Performance Options granted in 2016 to our NEOs in other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras eligible to vest on December 31st of such year shall vest on December 31st of such year and with respect to the remaining three-quarters (3/4) of the Performance Options eligible to vest on December 31st of such year, one-half (1/2) of such Performance Options shall vest on December 31, 2019 if the Company’s adjusted EBITDA in respect of fiscal year 2019 equals or exceeds the adjusted EBITDA target set by the Compensation Committee for fiscal year 2019 and one-half (1/2) of such Performance Options shall vest on December 31, 2020 if the Company’s adjusted EBITDA in respect of fiscal year 2020 equals or exceeds the adjusted EBITDA target set by the Compensation Committee for fiscal year 2020.

At the end of the yearly measurement period with respect to any award of Performance Options, any then outstanding Performance Options that were not vested and exercisable in any previous year in accordance with their terms shall become vested and exercisable to the extent that the cumulative performance objectives have been satisfied in respect of the applicable performance period.

We believe that the adjusted EBITDA performance targets in all periods provide reasonably achievable, but challenging goals for our NEOs and other Long-Term Incentive Program participants and are intended to incentivize all participants to maximize their performance for the long-term benefit of our stockholders.

Effect of Change in Control on Vesting of Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, immediately prior to any Change in Control (as defined below), any unvested portion of the Time Options shall vest and become immediately exercisable as to 100% of such Time Options. In addition, immediately prior to any Change in Control, the Performance Options shall vest and become immediately exercisable as to 100% of such Performance Options but only if, and to the extent that, as of such Change in Control, KKR achieves (x) a Sponsor IRR (as defined below) of 22.5% and (y) a Sponsor MOIC (as defined below) of 2.5x. No option will become exercisable as to any additional shares of the Company’s common stock following the termination of employment of an NEO for any reason and any option that is unexercisable as of the NEO’s termination of employment will immediately expire without payment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Sponsor IRR” means, as of a Change in Control, the cumulative internal rate of return of KKR, excluding any fees paid to KKR or expenses reimbursed to KKR from time to time (“Sponsor Fees”), on KKR’s aggregate investment in the Company determined on a fully diluted basis, assuming inclusion of all shares of the Company’s common stock underlying all then outstanding Time Options and Performance Options.

“Sponsor MOIC” means, as of a Change in Control, the result obtained by dividing (i) the cash consideration received by KKR (other than any Sponsor Fees) as of the Change in Control by (ii) the aggregate amount of cash invested in (and the initial gross asset value of any property (other than money) contributed to) the Company by KKR, directly or indirectly, from time to time in respect of such investment.

(1)The amounts in this column are reported as compensation for fiscal 2017 in the “Base Salary” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns of the Summary Compensation Table.
(2)Represents the amount of the matching contribution made by us in accordance with our Excess Contribution Plan. Matching contributions are reported for the year in which the compensation against which the applicable deferral election is applied has been earned (regardless of whether such matching contribution is actually credited to the NEO’s non-qualified deferred compensation account in that year or the following year). The amounts in this column are reported as compensation for fiscal 2017 in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.
(3)Amounts in this column are not reported as compensation for fiscal 2017 in the Summary Compensation Table since they do not reflect above-market or preferential earnings.
(4)Of the amounts reported in this column, $759,750 represents a portion of the compensation for 2016 reported in the “Base Salary” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns and $81,750 represents a portion of the compensation for 2016 reported in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for Mr. Reynal and $32,768 represents a portion of the compensation for 2016 reported in the “Base Salary” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns and $32,768 represents a portion of the compensation for 2016 reported in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for Mr. Schiesl.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary grade of 20 or higher (generally senior managers and above) are eligible to participate in the Excess Contribution Plan. Once a participant in the Excess Contribution Plan reaches the IRS annual limits for the 401(k) plan, contributions will be made to the Excess Contribution Plan based on the deferral percentage under the 401(k) plan. Such deferral percentage is selected at the time of enrollment in the Excess Contribution Plan or once per year in December for the following year. A separate election to defer from the annual MIP awards is made in December for the MIP award earned the following year and payable in the year thereafter. The Company matches each participant’s contributions with Company matching contributions. The Company match consists of $1 for each $1 contributed by a participant, up to the first 6% of a participant’s annual compensation. The Company match is credited in the form of cash.

Historically, the NEOs were also credited with a nonelective Company contribution of 12% of recognized compensation in excess of the IRS annual limit. The Company nonelective contributions were also contributed in cash and became fully vested after three years of employment. We discontinued the nonelective Company contributions in 2014.

Mr. Schiesl is fully vested in the nonelective Company contribution portion of the Excess Contribution Plan, and Messrs. Reynal and Herndon joined the Company after the nonelective contribution had been discontinued.

Participants in the Excess Contribution Plan may elect to receive distributions in either (x) a lump sum to be paid on the March 1 of the calendar year following the year of separation from the Company or (y) in a lump sum to be paid within 90 days after separation from service, subject to the terms and conditions of the Excess Contribution Plan. Loans and in-service withdrawals are not permitted under the Excess Contribution Plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The investment options available to the named executive officers under the Excess Contribution Plan are virtually the same as those offered to all of the participants in the 401(k) plan. Because some investment options available under the 401(k) plan are not available for the nonqualified plan, the Company has made similar investment options available to the nonqualified plan participants. The table below shows the funds available under the Excess Contribution Plan and their annual rate of return for the calendar year ended December 31, 2017, as reported by the administrator of the 401(k) plan.

Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

The following table describes the potential payments and benefits that would have been payable to our NEOs under existing plans and arrangements assuming a qualifying termination if a termination or change in control occurred on December 29, 2017, the last business day of our 2017 fiscal year. A description of the provisions governing such payments under our agreements and any material conditions or obligations applicable to the receipt of payments is described below under “Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants.”

The amounts shown in the table do not include payments and benefits to the extent they are provided generally to all salaried employees upon termination of employment and do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of the NEOs. These include accrued but unpaid salary and distributions of plan balances under our 401(k) savings plan.

See “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards—Terms of Equity Awards.” The amount reported in the table assumes that our Sponsor achieves the required Sponsor IRR and Sponsor MOIC.

Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants

We entered into offer letters with each of our NEOs, other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, that contain severance terms. In 2017, Mr. Miñarro Viseras was not eligible for any severance pay and benefits not provided generally to all salaried employees upon termination of employment, however his employment agreement requires that we provide three months’ notice in the event of hisan NEO’s termination with the option to terminate him immediately with a lump sum payment of three months’ salary. As discussed above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Actions Taken in 2018,” in February 2018, we approved an increase to Mr. Miñarro Viseras’s termination benefits.

Messrs. Reynal and Schiesl

Under the terms of their offer letters, if the Company terminates either of Messrs. Reynal’s or Schiesl’s employment without Cause (as defined below) or either of Messrs. Reynal or Schiesl terminates his employment with us for Good ReasonApproved Retirement (as defined below), subject in Mr. Reynal’s casesuch NEO’s outstanding RSUs and options that would have vested on the first vesting date otherwise scheduled to his continued compliance withoccur immediately following the restrictive covenants in his management equity agreements, in Mr. Schiesl’s case to certain provisionsdate of such termination without Cause or Approved Retirement will vest as of the date of such termination without Cause or Approved Retirement, as applicable. In the event of an NEO’s death or Disability (as defined in the Severance Plan,2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan), such NEO’s outstanding RSUs and options that would have vested on the first and second vesting date otherwise scheduled to occur immediately following the date of such death or Disability shall vest as of the date of death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in either casethe NEO’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs and options if the NEO’s executiontermination occurs as a result of NEO’s Approved Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the Company may determine that the NEO’s Retirement (as defined below) is no longer an Approved Retirement.

In the event of an NEO’s termination without Cause, Approved Retirement or death or Disability occurring after the expiration of the Performance Period and before the vesting date, the PSUs that would have vested on the vesting date will vest on the vesting date.
Effect of a customary waiverChange in Control on Vesting of PSUs, RSUs, and release agreement, heOptions. In the event of an NEO’s termination without Cause during the two-year period following a Change in Control (as defined in our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan), all of such NEO’s outstanding RSUs and options will immediately vest as of the date of such termination without Cause.
With respect to the PSUs, if a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, then the calculation of the number of PSUs that will vest is conducted as though (i) the last day of the Performance Period was the date of the Change in Control and (ii) the Company’s stock price at the end of the Performance Period was the price per share of the Company’s common stock payable in connection with such Change in Control. The number of PSUs resulting from such calculation will be entitled to receive:

the number that will vest upon the consummation of such Change in Control.

Continued group health coverage (on the same basis as actively employed employees of the Company), subject to the NEO’s electing to receive benefits under COBRA, for 12 months following the date his employment terminates (or, if earlier, through the date the NEO becomes employed by another employer and eligible for health insurance coverage at such employer).

Mr. Herndon

Under the terms of Mr. Herndon’s offer letter, if the Company terminates Mr. Herndon’s employment without Cause or if Mr. Herndon terminates his employment with us for Good Reason, subject to Mr. Herndon’s continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in his management equity agreements and his execution of a customary waiver and release agreement, he will be entitled to receive:

Continued payment over a 12-month period (the “Severance Period”) of his annual base salary, payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the Severance Period; and
Continued group health coverage (on the same basis as actively employed employees of the Company), subject to his electing to receive benefits under COBRA, for 12 months following the date his employment terminates (or, if earlier, through the date that he becomes employed by another employer and eligible for health insurance coverage at such employer).

Mr. Snyder

Under the terms of Mr. Snyder’s offer letter, if the Company terminates Mr. Snyder’s employment without Cause or if Mr. Snyder terminates his employment with us for Good Reason, subject to Mr. Snyder’s continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in his management equity agreements and his execution of a customary waiver and release agreement, he will be entitled to receive:

Continued payment over a 6-month period (the “Severance Period”) of his annual base salary earned in respect of our fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs, payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the Severance Period; and
Continued group health coverage (on the same basis as actively employed employees of the Company), subject to his electing to receive benefits under COBRA, for 6 months following the date his employment terminates (or, if earlier, through the date that he becomes employed by another employer and eligible for health insurance coverage at such employer).

As described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Actions Taken in 2018,” in February 2018, we approved an increase to Mr. Snyder’s termination benefits.

In addition to the payments described above, each of our NEOs is entitled to receive a distribution of all vested amounts under our Excess Contribution Plan. See “—Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation — Fiscal 2017.”

For purposes of each of the severance arrangements described above:

“Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following with respect to an NEO: (1) a material breach by the NEO of the terms of the Company’s policies, the terms of which have previously been provided to such NEO; (2) any act of theft, misappropriation, embezzlement, fraud or similar conduct by the NEO involving the Company or any of its affiliates; (3) the NEO’s failure to act in accordance with any specific lawful instructions given to the NEO by the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) in connection with the performance of the NEO’s duties for the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, which continues beyond ten (10) business days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the NEO by the Company (the “Cure Period”); (4) any damage of a material nature to the business or property of the Company or any affiliate caused by NEO’s willful or grossly negligent conduct which continues beyond the Cure Period (to the extent that, in the Board of Directors’ reasonable judgment, such breach can be cured); (5) any intentional misconduct by the NEO which is reasonably likely to be materially damaging to the Company without a reasonable good faith belief by the NEO that such conduct was in the best interests of the Company; (6) the conviction or the plea of nolo contendere or the equivalent in respect of any felony or a misdemeanor involving an act of dishonesty, moral turpitude, deceit, or fraud by the NEO; or (7) a knowing and material breach of any written agreement with the Company to which the NEO is a party, which continues beyond the Cure Period (to the extent that, in the Board of Directors’ reasonable judgment, such breach can be cured). A termination for Cause shall be effective when

41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Company has given the NEO written notice of its intention to terminate for Cause, describing those acts or omissions that are believed to constitute Cause, and has given the NEO the Cure Period within which to respond.

“Good Reason” means any of the following actions if taken without an NEO’s prior written consent (which will be deemed to have been given if the NEO does not provide written notification of an event described in clauses (1) and (2) within 90 days after the NEO knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any such event): (1) a material adverse change in the NEO’s position causing it to be of materially less stature, responsibility, or authority or the assignment to the NEO of any material duties inconsistent with the customary duties of the NEO’s position, in each case without the NEO’s written consent (provided that if, after an initial public offering of equity securities of the Company, at a later date the Company or its successor entity ceases to be a publicly traded entity, such fact shall not constitute a change in the NEO’s existing position); (2) the relocation of the offices at which the NEO is principally employed to a location which is more than 50 miles from the offices at which the NEO is principally employed immediately prior to such relocation; or (3) a reduction, without the NEO’s written consent, in the NEO’s base salary or the target bonus amount the NEO is eligible to earn under the MIP; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to guarantee the NEO’s MIP award payable for any fiscal year if the applicable performance targets are not met; and provided, further, that it shall not constitute Good Reason if the Company makes an appropriate pro rata adjustment to the applicable amount payable and targets under the MIP in the event of a change in the fiscal year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any event described in clauses (1) or (2) above must be an event that would result in a material negative change in the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company and thus effectively constitute an involuntary termination of employment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

Following a competitive market assessment of Messrs. Donnelly, Kassling, Marn, Vande Steeg and Velasco was entitled to receive an annual $75,000non-employee director compensation conducted by Pearl Meyer in connection with the Merger, the Board adopted the following director compensation program for each of our non-employee directors not associated with KKR.
Annual cash retainer for his service on the Board of Directors in fiscal 2017,$75,000, payable quarterly in arrears and pro-ratedprorated for any portionpartial year of a calendar quarter during which he commences or terminates serviceservice;
Additional annual cash retainer of $25,000, payable quarterly in arrears, for serving as the chairperson of our Audit Committee and an additional $10,000 annual cash retainer, payable quarterly in arrears, for serving as a director,member of such committee, prorated, in each case, for any partial year of service;

The Board of Directors also approved in 2017 an annual $25,000 cash retainer for any non-employee director notresponsibilities associated with KKR who serves as chairpersonthis role. We believe that an equity-focused compensation scheme for our directors strengthens the alignment of the Compensation Committee, payable in quarterly installments in arrears and pro-rated for any portion of a calendar quarter during which such director commences or terminates service as chairperson of the Compensation Committee; however, Mr. Stavros, the chairpersoninterests of our Compensation Committee was ineligible to receive compensation for his service.

In connection with his election to our Board of Directors, Mr. Donnelly received the Donnelly Time Options, a grant of options under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan with a fair value of $400,000, which vested and vesting and becomingbecame exercisable in equal parts on December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018.

In addition, in December 2013, we granted each of Messrs. Kassling, Marn, Vande Steeg and Velasco 57,534 Director Time Options pursuant to the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan. Prior to our initial public offering, we also gave our non-employee directors not associated with our sponsor the opportunity to make investments in our common stock, subject to satisfaction of applicable securities law requirements, and each of Messrs. Marn and Vande Steeg has done so.

The Director Time Options vested and became exercisable or will vest and become exercisable with respect to 20% of such Director Time Options on December 31st of each of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to the director’s continued service through such date.

Vested Director Time Options and Donnelly Time Options expire upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (1) the tenth anniversary of the date such options were granted; (2) the first anniversary of the cessation of the director’sMr. Donnelly’s service to the Company because of death or Disability (as defined in the option award agreement); (3) one hundred eighty (180) days after the cessation of the director’sMr. Donnelly’s service to the Company without Cause (as defined in the option award agreement) (except due to death or Disability); (4) the date the director’sMr. Donnelly’s service is terminated by the Company for Cause; or (5) pursuant to the repurchase rights in the Director Stockholder’s Agreement described below. In addition, at the discretion of the Company, options may be cancelled at the effective date of a merger, consolidation, or other transaction or capital change of the Company, in accordance with the terms of the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, in exchange for a payment (payable in cash or other consideration depending on the terms of the transaction) per share equal to the excess of (x) the per share consideration paid to stockholders of the Company in the transaction over (y) the exercise price of the option.

Except as described below with respect to Mr. Velasco’s Director Time Options, the Director Time Options and the Donnelly Time Options will not become exercisable as to any additional shares following the cessation of director’s service to the Company for any reason except in connection with a Change in Control.

In connection with their option awards, each of Messrs.Mr. Donnelly Kassling, Marn, Vande Steeg and Velasco became party to a Director Stockholder’s Agreement.

Under the Director Stockholder’s Agreement, shares of our common stock beneficially owned by our directors are generally nontransferable prior to the earlier of (i) a Change in Control or (ii) the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the applicable Director Stockholder’s Agreement.

Our directors party to a Director Stockholder’s Agreement have limited “piggyback” registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock, provided that in lieu of piggyback rights where such rights would otherwise be available, our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive the transfer restrictions (other than any such restrictions contained in an underwriters’ lock-up or in connection with a public offering) on the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to such piggyback rights.

Pursuant to the terms of the Director Stockholder’s Agreement, the directors party to such agreement areMr. Donnelly is subject to covenants not to (1) disclose confidential information, (2) solicit customers and certain employees, consultants and independent contractors of the Company, (3) compete with the Company and (4) disparage the Company.

Mr. Humphrey

Mr. Humphrey, who joined our Board on February 7, 2018, will be entitled to receive the compensation described below under “Director Compensation in 2018.” However, while our directors who served prior to 2018 will not receive their first annual equity grant until 2019, in February 2018 Mr. Humphrey received an award of restricted stock units having a fair market value of $125,000 which vests on the anniversary of the grant date.

Stock Ownership and Retention Policy

Our directors are also subject to the stock ownership guidelines and retention policy described under “—Compensation“Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Analysis―Other Compensation Practices and Policies that Align Our NEOs to Our Stockholders―Stock Ownership and Retention Policy.”

Director Compensation in 2018

Following a competitive market assessment of non-employee director compensation conducted by Pearl Meyer, the Board adopted the following director compensation program for each of our non-employee directors not associated with KKR:

Cash retainer of $75,000, payable quarterly in arrears;
Additional cash retainer of $25,000 payable quarterly in arrears for serving as the chairperson of our Audit Committee or $12,500 payable quarterly in arrears for serving as the chairperson of our Compensation Committee; and
An annual equity award having a fair market value of $125,000 payable in restricted stock units which vests on the anniversary of the grant date.

Our directors will not be paid any fees for attending meetings, however, our directors will be reimbursed for reasonable travel and related expenses associated with attendance at Board or committee meetings. Because each of our non-employee directors not associated with KKR other than Mr. Humphrey was granted an equity award at or before our initial public offering, such directors will not receive their first equity awards under our newly-adopted director compensation program until 2019.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2017, none2021, each of Messrs. Weisenbeck, Donnelly and Jones and Ms. Arnold served on our Compensation Committee. None of the current, or in the case of Mr. Weisenbeck, former, members of our Compensation Committee has at any time been one of our executive officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.
CEO Pay Ratio
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 (“Item 402(u)”), the Company is providing the following information regarding the relationship of the annual total compensation of Vicente Reynal, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to the median all of our employees (except Mr. Reynal), calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u). For 2021, our last completed fiscal year:
The median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, excluding our CEO, was $51,757.
The annual total compensation of our CEO was $10,613,486.
Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees except our CEO was 205:1.
We are parties to certain transactions with KKR described below under “Item 13. Certain Relationshipsdetermined that, as of December 31, 2021, our employee population consisted of 15,454 individuals, including full time, part time, and Related Transactions,temporary employees.
To identify our “median employee” from this employee population, we obtained annual base salary and Director Independence—Transactions with Related Persons”.

our employee population. We believe this consistently applied compensation measure reasonably reflects annual compensation across our employee base. Base salary amounts for employees located outside the United States and compensated in currencies other than U.S. dollars were converted to U.S. dollars based on the average annual exchange rate for 2021. We then ranked the resulting annual base salary plus target annual bonus amounts for all of the employees in the employee population other than our CEO to determine our median employee. Once we identified our median employee, we combined all of the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2021 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K for the Summary Compensation Table. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our Summary Compensation Table set forth above in this Proxy Statement.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

Arrangements with Our Executive Officers, DirectorsKKR, a Former Related Party
Affiliates of KKR served on the Company’s board of directors until November 2021 and Advisors

We have entered into letter agreements with certain members of management, including each of our executive officers, and our directors and certain advisors, pursuant to which such individuals agreed to invest in our stock and/or through the purchase of our shares with cash. In addition, our Board of Directors granted options to purchase shares of our common stock to certain members of management and key employees, including to our executive officers. In connection with the grants of new options describedKKR maintained an equity interest above the participating members of our management, including our executive officers, were required to enter into a Management Stockholder’s Agreement as well as a stock option agreement, as applicable.

Below is a brief summary of the principal terms of the Management Stockholder’s Agreements, the Director Stockholder’s Agreements and the Advisor Stockholder’s Agreements, which are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements themselves, forms of which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management, Director and Advisor Stockholder’s Agreements

The Management Stockholder’s Agreements impose significant restrictions on transfers of shares of our common stock. Generally, shares held by our management are nontransferable by any means at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined5% in the Management Stockholder’s Agreements) or (ii) the later to occur of (a) the fifth anniversary of the execution of the applicable Management Stockholder’s Agreement or (b) the consummation of an Initial Public Offering (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreements). These transfer restrictions are subject to certain exceptions, including transfers approved by our Board of Directors; transfers upon the death or Disability (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreements) of the holder; transfers to immediate family members or estate planning vehicles, provided such transferees become party to the applicable Management Stockholder’s Agreement; or repurchases of such shares by the Company.

Additionally, management stockholders have limited “piggyback” registration rights with respect to certain registered offerings conducted by the Company. The maximum number ofCompany until August 2021. KKR did not own any shares of common stock as of December 31, 2021.

As a result, KKR is no longer considered a related party of the Company covered by Item 403(a) of Regulation S-K.
However, KKR was a greater than 5% holder and thus a related party of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2021, and at the time that the following transactions and arrangements were in effect, which therefore requires such transactions and arrangements to be reported in this Proxy Statement.

In addition to certain exceptions to transfer restrictions related to piggyback rights available to Management Stockholders, the Director and Advisor Stockholder’s Agreements further provide that in lieu of piggyback registration rights in connection with a public offering in which such piggyback rights would otherwise be available,their resignations, the Company reduced the size of the Board from ten to eight directors.

Termination of Directors may waive transfer restrictions with respect to the number of shares that would have been subject to such piggyback rights.

This agreement grants affiliates of KKR, the right to nominate to our Board of Directors a number of designees equal to: (i) at least a majority of the total number of directors comprising our Board of Directors at such time as long as affiliates of KKR beneficially own at least 50% of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors; (ii) at least 40% of the total number of directors comprising our Board of Directors at such time as long as affiliates of KKR beneficially own at least 40% but less than 50% of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors; (iii) at least 30% of the total number of directors comprising our Board of Directors at such time as long as affiliates of KKR beneficially own at least 30% but less than 40% of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors; (iv) at least 20% of the total number of directors comprising our Board of Directors at such time as long as affiliates of KKR beneficially own at least 20% but less 30% of the

For purposes of calculating the number of directors that affiliates of KKR are entitled to nominate pursuant to the formula outlined above, any fractional amounts would be rounded up to the nearest whole number and the calculation would be made on a pro forma basis, taking into account any increase in the size of our Board of Directors (e.g., one and one quarter (11/4) directors shall equate to two directors). In addition, in the event a vacancy on the Board of Directors is created by the death, disability, retirement or resignation of a Sponsor director designee, affiliates of KKR shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to have the vacancy filled by a new Sponsor director-designee.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” provides cost savings for companies by reducing printing and mailing costs and helps the environment by conserving natural resources. Some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will generally continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker. If your household received a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or, if applicable, a single set of proxy materials this year, but you would prefer to receive your own copy, please contact Broadridge Householding Department, by calling their toll free number, 1-866-540-7095 or by writing to: Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. You will be removed from the householding program within 30 days of receipt of your instructions at which time you will then be sent separate copies of the documents.

ANNEX A
Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Ingersoll Rand reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA,” and “Supplemental Adjusted Revenue.”
Ingersoll Rand believes Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as they provide supplemental information about the Company’s financial performance on a combined basis as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019. Ingersoll Rand believes Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as they exclude certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of Ingersoll Rand’s business. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019. Ingersoll Rand believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Supplemental Adjusted Revenue represents revenue for the Company as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019.
Management and Ingersoll Rand’s board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in evaluating the Company’s operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, Ingersoll Rand believes that Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.
Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing Ingersoll Rand’s results as reported under GAAP.
Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial metrics for historical periods are presented in the tables below.
