(the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Wednesday,Thursday, June 16, 202115, 2023 at 2:00 p.m.10:30 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time.

To participate in the meeting, you must have your sixteen-digit control number that is shown on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or on your proxy card if you elected to receive proxy materials by mail. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.
Governance Proposals that would Expand Your Rights as a Stockholder
This year we have a number of unique and important matters to address at our annual meeting. Following our transformative merger with the Industrials business of Ingersoll-Rand plc, our Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors evaluated our corporate governance practices. They took into consideration the views held by the investment community as to governance best practices and our commitment to re-energizing our focus around environmental, social and governance initiatives. As a result of this evaluation, we have several proposals on the ballot that would result in our corporate governance being more aligned with investment community best practices and expand the rights of our stockholders. These include amendments to our certificate of incorporation that would:
de-classify our Board of Directors and provide for the annual election of all of our directors;
eliminate the requirement for a supermajority vote of our stockholders to amend our certificate of incorporation; and
eliminate the requirement for a supermajority vote of our stockholders to amend our Bylaws.
Under our current certificate of incorporation, these proposals require an affirmative vote of at least 6623% of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote to approve each of these amendments, so your vote is truly crucial.
Please submit your proxy to have your shares voted promptly, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. You may submit your proxy over the Internet, as well as by telephone or by mail. Please review the instructions on the proxy or voting instruction card regarding each of these voting options.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Why is the Company proposing changescompensation paid to the Certificate of Incorporation?
Following our transformative merger with the Industrials business of Ingersoll-Rand plc, our Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors evaluated our corporate governance practices, taking into consideration the views held by the investment community and our commitment to re-energizing our focus around environmental, social and governance initiatives. As a result of this evaluation, we have several proposalsnamed executive officers (the “Say on the ballot that would result in our corporate governance being more aligned with investment community best practices and expand the rights of our stockholders, including amendments to our certificate of incorporation that would:
de-classify our Board of Directors and provide for the annual election of all of our directors;
eliminate the requirement for a supermajority vote of our stockholders to amend our certificate of incorporation; and
eliminate the requirement for a supermajority vote of our stockholders to amend our Bylaws.
For additional discussion of the rationale behind these proposed amendments, see “Proposal No. 1-Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify the Board of Directors and Provide for the Immediate Annual Election of All Directors,” “Proposal No. 2-Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Supermajority Vote to Amend Certificate of Incorporation and to Make a Corresponding Change to the Title of Article V” and “Proposal No. 3-Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Supermajority Vote for Stockholders to Amend Bylaws.”
Why are there two proposals relating to the election of directors?
If the Declassification Proposal is approved at the Annual Meeting, promptly following such vote, we will file an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that will declassify the Board and provide for the immediate annual election of all directors. In this case, our stockholders will vote at the Annual Meeting with respect to the nominees named in the Nominee Alternative A Proposal (see “Proposal No. 6a―Election of Directors if Proposal No. 1 is Approved”Frequency Proposal”). Conversely, if the Declassification Proposal is not approved, the Board of Directors will remain classified so that (a) only the four Class I director nominees named in the Nominee Alternative B Proposal will stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting and (b) directors currently serving in Class II and Class III will continue to serve as directors until their respective terms expire at the 2022 and 2023 annual meetings, respectively, or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal (see “Proposal No. 6b—Election of Directors if Proposal No. 1 is Not Approved”). When you submit your proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting, you should provide your voting instructions with respect to both Alternative Nominee Proposals. If you submit your proxy without providing instructions with respect to one or both of the Alternative Nominee Proposals and such Alternative Nominee Proposal is voted on at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted with respect to such Alternative Nominee Proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors.
Who is entitled to vote?
Stockholders as of the close of business on April 20, 20212023 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 420,632,637404,677,854 shares of common stock outstanding. You have one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date, including shares:
Held directly in your name as “stockholder of record” (also referred to as “registered stockholder”);
Held for you in an account with a broker, bank or other nominee (shares held in “street name”). Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and instead must instruct the brokerage firm, bank or nominee how to vote their shares; and
Held for you by us as restricted shares (whether vested or non-vested) under any of our stock incentive plans.

What constitutes a quorum?

Abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a

quorum. Shares represented by “broker non-votes” that are present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting also are counted 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, (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 DeclassificationDirector Election Proposal, the Supermajority Charter Amendment Elimination Proposal, the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal, the Say on Pay Proposal and the Alternative Nominee Proposals isSay on Frequency Proposal are considered a non-discretionary mattermatters and a broker will lack the authority to vote shares at his/her discretion on such proposal.proposals. 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 Alternative Nominee Proposals,Director 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 and the Say on Pay Proposal, approval of each such proposal requires the affirmative 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.proposal, which means that the number of shares voted “FOR” such proposals must exceed the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” at the Annual Meeting. While these proposals are advisory in nature and non-binding, the Board will review the voting results and will consider the results of the Say on Pay vote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.
With respect to the DeclassificationSay on Frequency Proposal, the Supermajority Charter Amendment Elimination Proposal and the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal, approval of such proposal requiresyou may vote every “ONE YEAR,” “TWO YEARS,” “THREE YEARS” or “ABSTAIN.” The frequency that receives the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 6623%a majority of the voting power of allthe shares of stock outstandingpresent in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal.proposal will be deemed the preferred frequency (which means that the number of shares voted “FOR” such proposal must exceed the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” at the Annual Meeting), provided, in the event that no option receives such a majority of the votes, the option that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be deemed the frequency preferred by stockholders for future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation and the Board will consider the results in selecting the frequency of future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation.
How are votes counted?
With respect to the Alternative Nominee Proposals,Director Election Proposal, you may vote “FOR”“FOR,” “AGAINST” or “WITHHOLD”“ABSTAIN” with respect to each nominee. Votes that are “withheld” will not count as a vote “for” or “against” a director because directors are elected by plurality voting.

With respect to the Say on Frequency Proposal, you may vote every “ONE YEAR,” “TWO YEARS,” “THREE YEARS” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions will be counted as a vote “AGAINST” the Say on Frequency Proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Say on Frequency Proposal. However, if no alternative receives the affirmative 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, the frequency that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be deemed the frequency preferred by stockholders for future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation.

The biographies and qualifications of the Company and our stockholders to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to declassify our Board of Directors and to provide for the annual election of all directors, as described below. We believe this amendment reflects our commitment to good corporate governance and better aligns our governance processes with what is considered to be governance best practices by the investor community.
The Board of Directors is asking you to approve the amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate a classified board from the Certificate of Incorporation and to provide that all members of the Board of Directors stand for election at the Annual Meeting (the “Declassification Charter Amendments”).
The full text of the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation constituting the Declassification Charter Amendments are attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
Background of the Declassification Proposal
Currently, the Certificate of Incorporation provides for a classified Board of Directors divided into three classes of directors. Directors in each class are elected for staggered three-year terms, with the term of one class expiring at each annual meeting. Currently, Class II and Class III contain three directors and Class I contains four directors. The current terms of our director classes expire as follows: Class I – the 2021 annual meeting; Class II – the 2022 annual meeting; and Class III – the 2023 annual meeting. The proposed Declassification Charter Amendments require approval by the holders of at least 6623% in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Company on the Record Date entitled to vote on the proposal. We are asking you to approve amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate provisions from the Certificate of Incorporation providing for a classified board and to replace such provisions with provisions providing for the annual election of all directors, as discussed further below.
Rationale for the Proposed Declassification Charter Amendments
Our Board of Directors is committed to good corporate governance. As we have transitioned from a public company controlled by our former private equity sponsors to an independent, seasoned public company, our Board of Directors has conducted a review of corporate governance matters, including its classified board structure.
In connection with this review our Board of Directors considered the advantages of maintaining the classified board structure as well as the advantages of declassifying the board. The advantages of the classified board structure include that a classified board structure may promote board continuity, encourage a long-term perspective by management and the Board, and provide protection against certain abusive takeover tactics. While our Board of Directors believes that these are important considerations, our Board of Directors also understands that many investors believe that annually elected boards increase accountability of directors to a company’s stockholders. Furthermore, the Board of Directors recognizes that stockholders of public companies are generally supportive of shifting from classified boards to the annual election of directors. In addition, our Board of Directors believes this amendment better aligns our governance with what is considered to be governance best practices by the investor community.
After carefully weighing all of these considerations, our Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Declassification Charter Amendments.
Description of the Proposed Declassification Charter Amendments
As discussed above, our Certificate of Incorporation currently provides for a “classified” board structure, which means that our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with each class elected every three years. Under this classified board structure, directors are elected to terms that expire on the annual meeting date three years following the annual meeting at which they were elected, and the terms are “staggered” so that the terms of approximately one-third of the directors expire each year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the Declassification Proposal is approved at the Annual Meeting, promptly following such vote, we will file the Declassification Charter Amendments with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the declassification of the Board of Directors during the Annual Meeting and to provide for the immediate annual election of allten director nominees named in the Nominee Alternative A Proposal (see “Proposal No. 6a—Election of Directors ifthis Proposal No. 1 is Approved”). We intend to make this filing beforeare set forth below under the vote is taken to elect directors at the Annual Meeting so that if the Declassification Charter Amendments are adopted, they will be effective when the vote is taken to elect directors. Additionally, director nominees currently serving in Class IIheading “Director Biographies and Class III will tender contingent resignations from their current three-year terms, conditioned upon the filing of the Declassification Charter Amendments with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. As a result, if the Declassification Charter Amendments are approved, the ten members of the current Board of Directors will stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting and, if elected, will serve for terms expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. Conversely, if the Declassification Proposal is not approved, the Board of Directors will remain classified such that (i) pursuant to the Nominee Alternative B Proposal only the four Class I director nominees will stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting and, if elected, will serve on the Board of Directors until the 2024 annual meeting or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal and (ii) directors serving in Class II and Class III will continue to serve as directors until their respective terms expire at the 2022 and 2023 annual meetings, respectively, or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal (see “Proposal No. 6b—Election of Directors if Proposal No. 1 is Not Approved”). The Declassification Charter Amendments would not change the number of directors or the Board’s authority to change that number and to fill any vacancies or newly created directorships.
Currently, our Certificate of Incorporation allows for removal of directors by our stockholders only for cause. Under Delaware corporate law, directors of companies that have a classified board structure may be removed only for cause unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, while directors of companies that do not have a classified board may be removed with or without cause. Accordingly, the Proposed Declassification Amendments also provide that directors may be removed by our stockholders either with or without cause. The Declassification Charter Amendments also include a ministerial change in light of other proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation resulting in the relocation within the Certificate of Incorporation of the definition of “beneficial ownership” from Article V (which currently relates to the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws) to Article VI (which relates to the Board of Directors). There has been no change in the definition or its use.
The Board of Directors reserves the right to elect to abandon the Declassification Charter Amendments, before or after stockholder approval of such amendments, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such amendments are no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

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 threefour standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Sustainability Committee.
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.
Governance Enhancements
Since the completion of the merger of Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. (“Gardner Denver”) with Ingersoll-Rand plc’s Industrials business segment in an all-stock, Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Merger”) in February 2020, we proactively worked to implement corporate governance enhancements. In connectionorder to better align our corporate governance with best practices and expand the rights of our commitmentstockholders, we adopted various governance reforms subsequent to good governance, as more fully described above under “Proposal No. 1―Amendmentthe Merger.
Following stockholder approval, we declassified our Board, implemented a majority voting standard in the election of Certificate of Incorporation to Declassifydirectors, and replaced the Board of Directors and Provide for the Immediate Annual Election of Directors,” “Proposal No. 2―Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Supermajority Vote to Amendsupermajority voting requirements in our Certificate of Incorporation and to MakeBylaws with a Corresponding Changemajority voting standard. We believe these changes provide our stockholders with a more meaningful voice in various corporate matters.
Additionally, the Board recently approved revisions to the TitleCompany’s Corporate Governance Guidelines creating a role of Article V”Lead Director of the Board in the event that the Chair of the Board is not an independent director. 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 “Proposal 3―Amendmentserves until the Board meeting immediately following the third anniversary of Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Supermajority Vote for Stockholders to Amend Bylaws,” we are asking our stockholders to vote for amendmentsappointment, provided, however, the Board may extend such term by any length up to the Certificatefifth anniversary of Incorporation that would: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.”
de-classifyRecognizing 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.
Furthermore, although the Company is not required to hold its say on pay vote until 2024, as part of its governance review, the Board and Compensation Committee considered whether it was appropriate to maintain the Company’s current triennial say on pay vote or instead provide forstockholders with an annual say on pay vote. Ultimately, the Board and Compensation Committee determined that holding an annual election of all ofvote was beneficial in that it would provide more regular stockholder feedback on our directors;

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.

Director Independence and Independence Determinations
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and New 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 Peter M. Stavros, Kirk E. Arnold, Elizabeth Centoni, William P. Donnelly, Gary D. Forsee, Jennifer Hartsock, John Humphrey, Marc E. Jones, Joshua T. WeisenbeckMark Stevenson, Michael Stubblefield and Tony 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, Forsee, Humphrey and HumphreyStubblefield and Ms. Hartsock is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that each of Messrs. Weisenbeck, DonnellyJones, Stevenson and JonesWhite and Ms.Mses. Arnold and Hartsock is “independent” for purposes of Section 10C(a)(3) of the Exchange Act. Our Board of Directors previously determined that each of Messrs. Brandon F. Brahm, Michael V. Marn, William E. Kassling and Nickolas Vande Steeg, who served as directors until the effective time of the Merger, was independent under the guidelines for director independence set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and under all applicable NYSE listing standards, including with respect to committee membership.
In sum, nine outall of the tenour current members of our Board of Directors have been determined to be independent which is 90% of our Board, and includes each director other than Mr. Reynal, our CEO.Chief Executive Officer.
Annual Independent Board Assessment
Each year, our Board of Directors and each of its committees conducts an assessment of its performance. This assessment is overseen and facilitated by an independent firm. This independent firm conducts the assessment 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 to 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. In addition, pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, no person shall be nominated by the Board to serve as a director after he or she has passed his or her 75th birthday, unless the Board has voted to waive the mandatory retirement age for such director at the time of nomination.
Board Leadership 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 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. The responsibilities of our Lead Director are outlined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.
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
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 thisthat 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 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. Accordingly, Mr. Stavros serves as Chairman, while Mr. Reynal serves as our Chief Executive Officer.

Commitment to Diversity - Board of Directors
A key principle of the Company’s Board member selection process is to strive to have a diverse Board of Directors. A critical factor that the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee carefully consider when assessing potential director candidates is the importance to the Company of ethnic and gender diversity in board composition. As part of any director search process, it isset forth in the policy ofCompany’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 part of suchany director search process.

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
FollowingOver the Merger,past three years, we also formalizedhave established a clear vision, identified measurable goals and engaged our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (“DE&I”) within our workforce. We madebroad team with a commitment to:focus on:
Beestablishing ourselves as a DE&I leader within our industry that mirrors the communities and customers we serve.industry;
Leverageleveraging diversity, equity and inclusion to exceed our business goals, attract and retain the best talent, and address today’s global challenges.

cultivating diversity, promoting equity and pursuing a more inclusive culture that strengthens the sense of belonging for all, which is consistent with our value of Fostering Inspired Teams.
To solidify a more inclusive culture that strengthens the sensesuccessful execution of belonging for all.
We expect our employees and all individuals we associate with to uphold these aspirations with humility, integrity and respect.
In 2020, we engaged Management Leadership for Tomorrow to help solidify our strategy, we established a road map prioritizing initiatives through 2025 using our Ingersoll Rand Execution Process (IRX) to build global accountability and identify clear initiatives to increase representation of underrepresented populations, create greater growth and advancement for all, and accelerate a culture of inclusion.timely execution.
In terms of diverse representation, we establishedhave two focus areas: 1)

Our current employee base asconsists of December 31, 2020 consisted9.6% U.S. URT in leadership roles with a target of 25% 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, 2020 22% of our population and our goal is to increase the percentage of women in our global employee population to 27%16% by 2025.

We continue creating a powerful initiative calledsafe space for employees by participating in our “Lean into Change” sessions where employees from across the company participated in culturallysocial and cultural sensitive conversations occur, fostering trust, transparency and community. Profiles in Diversity Journal recognized our “Lean into Change” initiative by awarding us a Top 10 Innovations in Diversity Award.
Central to our inclusion strategy is to make all employees true owners of the Company. In 2022, we made our first equity grants under our new Ownership Works equity program, which allows every one of our employees to become an owner whether they join us as new hires or via acquisition, and since then we have made equity grants to over 3,200 new employees.1 These new owners are in addition to those employees who became owners through our two landmark all-employee equity grants at the time of our initial public offering and the Merger. Incredibly, the value of the common stock granted to employees through Ownership Works and these landmark grants has appreciated from $275 million to almost $590 million in value as of March 31, 2023. We can see the results of the power of ownership as our employee engagement score has increased each year since the Merger, including in 2022. According to our engagement survey partner, we now rank in the top 10% of manufacturing organizations in the area of employee satisfaction and continue to increase our score in this area even while the industry average score has declined. We feel that the combination of a solid strategy, strong values and clear expectations, coupled with trusttrue employee ownership, provides us strong engagement and transparency.a competitive edge.
Commitment to Sustainability
In recognition of the importance of sustainability to our business, we established the Sustainability Committee of our Board in 2021 to provide direct oversight and guidance to the execution of our sustainability initiatives. As part of implementing our new sustainability strategy, we are embeddinghave 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.

In 2022, we changed the name of our “Operate Sustainably” strategic imperative to “Lead Sustainably” to better recognize that sustainability is fully embedded in every major element of our economic model and strategic decision-making processes. This change was also a recognition that sustainability was a key facet of Making Life Better through the sustainability improvements we made in our own operations, as well as an important element of our growth strategy. To better reflect this, we defined two key aspects of our Lead Sustainably strategic imperative:
Grow Sustainably. We believe that sustainability and growth go hand in hand and see two dimensions of how sustainability can help drive growth. The first is the development of innovative and intrinsically sustainable products that deliver efficiency, circularity and safety to customers across all markets and regions. The second is the intentional focus on the high-growth, sustainable end markets including food, life science, water and clean energy, which can act has a tailwind to organic growth.
Operate Sustainably. This aspect of Lead Sustainably reflects our unwavering, authentic commitment to run our business in ways that Make Life Better for all of our stakeholders. Our ambitious 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and landfill goals that we announced in 2021 show our dedication to doing what is right for our communities and our planet.
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. WeSince then, structuredwe have continued to structure our environmental, social and governance initiatives around these material topics and deployed IRX processes to help us achieve them.
One example of these initiatives isIn 2021, we announced our announcement earlier this year of 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 directly advance progress against our material topics.
In addition, in 2020, we took a major first step in environmental, social and governance transparency by publishing our first sustainability report, relating to our 2019 fiscal year. We plan to release our 2020 sustainability report in May 2021.
Further details with respect to our sustainability goals as well as a copy of our 2019 sustainability report, can be found on our website, www.irco.com, under “Investors: Governance: 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 2021 sustainability report released in June 2022, and an investor call on September 22, 2022, where we provided a mid-year update on our sustainability initiatives.

Our actions over the last few years have resulted in substantial progress on our sustainability initiatives. In 2022, by leveraging IRX we achieved placement on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index, and our score on the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment ranked us #1 in North America and #4 in the world within the Machinery and Electrical Equipment industry.

As the application of these factors involves the exercise of judgment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a standard set of fixed qualifications that is applicable to all director candidates, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does at a minimum assess each candidate’s strength of character, mature judgment, industry knowledge or experience, and his or her independence of thought, and ability to work collegially with the other members of the Board.
In addition, it is the Board’s policy to endeavor to have a diverse Board of Directors representing a range of experiences in areas that are relevant to the Company’s strategy and business and, as required by our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as part of any director search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors will, and will request that any search firm hired by it also, consider highly qualified candidates, including women and diverse individuals. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board implement this policy by requiring that all director searches include qualified women and diverse candidates and requiring any search firms engaged by them to include and present such candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board assess the effectiveness of this policy by evaluating the diversity of the candidates presented to them compared to the total number of candidates presented as well as whether an open Board position is in fact filled with a diverse candidate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board believe that this policy is effective given that both of the last two Board positions filled by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board were diverse candidates and that 50% of the Board is currently comprised of diverse directors.
In identifying prospective director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek referrals from its members, management, stockholders and other sources. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may, but need not, retain a search firm in order to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as directors of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral. When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide a blend of skills and experience to further enhance the Board’s effectiveness.
The stockholders’ agreement described below under “Transactions with Related Persons” provides that affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis and Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) have the right to nominate to our Board a number of designees approximately equal to the percentage of voting power of all shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors collectively beneficially owned by KKR. Currently, two directors (Messrs. Stavros and Weisenbeck) nominated by KKR serve on our Board of Directors.
Ms. Centoni was first recommended for election to our Board by a third party search firm and Messrs. Forsee and White were appointed to our Board pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 30, 2019, by and among the Company, Ingersoll-Rand plc, Ingersoll-Rand U.S. HoldCo, Inc., and Charm Merger Sub Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”)
In connection with its annual nomination of a slate of nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also assess the contributions of those directors recommended for re-election in the context of the Board evaluation process and other perceived needs of the Board.
When considering whether the directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Board focused primarily on the information discussed in each of the board member’s biographical information set forth below under “Director Biographies and Qualifications”.Qualifications.” Each of the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company’s directors possesses high ethical standards, acts with integrity and exercises careful, mature judgment. Each is committed to employing his or her skills and abilities to aid the long-term interests of the stakeholders of the Company. In addition, our directors are knowledgeable and experienced in one or more business, governmental, or civic endeavors, which further qualifies them for service as members of the Board. A significant number of our directors possess experience in owning andand/or managing public and privately held enterprises and are familiar with corporate finance and strategic business planning activities that are unique to publicly traded companies like ours. See the directors’ biographical information set forth above for the important characteristics considered by our Board in determining that our directors should serve as directors of the Company.
In expanding our Board membership in 2022, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluated candidates based on the various factors described above and the candidates’ qualifications, including each candidate’s strength of character, judgment, familiarity with the Company’s business and industry, independence of thought and an ability to work collegially with the other members of the Board. A diverse slate of candidates from multiple sources, including a third-party search firm, interviewed with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and select members of management. The third-party search firm assisted in identifying director prospects, performed candidate outreach, provided information about candidates and performed other related services. Through this process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee received input from directors and stakeholders, and identified a number of qualified director candidates who together represented diverse experience in the areas of cybersecurity, finance, audit, international business transactions, and board level strategy. From this pool of highly qualified candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the Board that it appoint Messrs. Stevenson and Stubblefield and Ms. Hartsock as new directors in 2022.
In selecting Messrs. Stevenson and Stubblefield and Ms. Hartsock as new directors, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the skills and experience that would best complement our strategic imperatives and ensure healthy Board refreshment. Specifically, it selected new directors who would add knowledge in the areas of cybersecurity, digitalization and IIoT, as well as depth in the areas of M&A, organic growth and product innovation. The 2022 additions of Messrs. Stevenson and Stubblefield and Ms. Hartsock evidence our focus on refreshment, reduced our average director tenure and expanded the diversity of our Board. Additionally, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determined that each of these Board additions did not have any arrangements or understandings with any other person pursuant to which he or she was selected as a director, nor did they have a direct or indirect material interest in any transactions that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K at the time of appointment.
In connection with its annual nomination of the full slate of nominees at this year’s Annual Meeting, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assessed the contributions of those directors recommended for re-election in keeping with the director evaluation process described above and other identified needs of the Board. This annual director nomination process resulted in the Board’s nomination for election at the Annual Meeting of the ten incumbent directors named in Proposal 6a1 in this Proxy Statement and proposed for election by you at the upcoming Annual Meeting in the event that Proposal No. 1 is approved and, alternatively, the four incumbent Class I directors named in Proposal 6b in the Proxy Statement and proposed for election by you at the upcoming Annual Meeting in the event that Proposal No. 1 is not approved.Statement.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. Any recommendation submitted to the Secretary of the Company should be in writing and should include any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate in support of that recommendation, but must include information that would be required under the rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate and a written consent of the candidate to serve as one of our directors if elected. Stockholders wishing to propose a candidate for consideration may do so by submitting the above information to the attention of the Secretary of the Company, Ingersoll Rand Inc., 800-A Beaty Street,525 Harbour Place Drive, Suite 600, Davidson, North Carolina 28036. All recommendations for nomination received by the Secretary of the Company that satisfy our Bylaw requirements relating to such director nominations will be presented to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for its consideration. Stockholders must also satisfy the notification, timeliness, consent and information requirements set forth in our Bylaws. These requirements are also described under the caption “Stockholder Proposals for the 20222024 Annual Meeting.”

PROPOSAL NO. 5—3—NON-BINDING VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company is requesting that stockholders vote, on a non-binding basis, to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and the tabular executive compensation disclosure, including the “Summary Compensation Table” and accompanying narrative disclosure. While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the results of this vote.
As described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement, our executive compensation programs and underlying principles, as developed and administered by the Compensation Committee, are designed to provide competitive pay opportunities to support the attraction and retention of highly qualified executives while promoting our core values. Our executive compensation programs are structured to be consistent with our pay for performance philosophy and utilize performance measures that are intended to align the executive team’s incentives with the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Although the Company is not required to hold its say on pay vote until 2024 based on the triennial cycle, as part of its governance review, the Board and Compensation Committee considered whether it was appropriate to maintain a triennial say on pay vote, a frequency that was previously approved by stockholders when the Company’s predecessor was considered a “controlled company,” or provide stockholders with an annual say on pay vote instead. Ultimately, the Board and Compensation Committee determined that holding an annual vote was beneficial in that it would provide more regular stockholder feedback on our executive compensation program and has accelerated the say on pay vote to this 2023 Annual Meeting.
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 related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”
In considering their vote, stockholders may wish to review with care the information on our compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” as well as the discussion regarding the Compensation Committee presented in this Proxy Statement.
YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL NO. 4— NON-BINDING VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF
FUTURE VOTES TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
In accordance with the requirements ofPursuant to 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, weevery six years, stockholders are including in these proxy materialsentitled to indicate, on a separate resolution subjectnon-binding basis, their preference as to stockholderhow frequently they would like to cast a non-binding vote to approve in a non-binding, advisory vote, the compensation paid toof our named executive officers as disclosedofficers. Stockholders of the Company will have the opportunity to specify one of four choices for this proposal on pages 29 to 56.the proxy card: (1) one year; (2) two years; (3) three years; or (4) abstain. While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Board intends to carefully consider the results of thisthe vote. At our 2018 annual meeting, we asked our stockholders to indicate if we should hold an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers every one, two or three years. Because at our 2018 annual meeting our stockholders voted in favor of a triennial advisory vote, we again are asking our stockholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules.
The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal No. 5 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 presented in connection with Proposal No. 3, the information on the Company’sour compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in Compensationthe “Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 29 to 43Analysis” section, as well as the discussion regarding the Compensation Committee contained in this Proxy Statement.
We believe replacing the current three-year frequency with a one-year frequency is most consistent with the Company’s approach to compensation, which includes the following factors:
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.
We believe that an annual advisory vote on pages 15executive compensation will allow our stockholders to 16.provide us with direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement each year.
We believe that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with our policy of seeking input from our stockholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices even though it is not required by law.
At the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders indicated their preference to hold a non-binding vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers every three years and our Board of Directors adopted that recommendation; however, rather than waiting for 2024 when the next Say on Frequency vote is required under SEC rules, we are advancing the Say on Frequency vote from 2024 to 2023, in addition to advancing the Say on Pay vote, as described in Proposal No. 3. It is expected that the next vote on a Say on Frequency proposal will occur at our 2029 annual meeting of stockholders.
YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR”“ONE YEAR” WITH RESPECT TO HOW FREQUENTLY A STOCKHOLDER VOTE TO APPROVE, IN A NON-BINDING VOTE, THE APPROVAL OF THE
COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.OFFICERS SHOULD OCCUR.

Executive Summary
2022 Business Highlights
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company had a truly transformationalThis year in 2020 and the management team delivered on its primary goalwas an exciting year of creating long-term valuerecord financial performance for stockholders by executing on several critical strategic priorities. Key recent achievements and metrics considered by the Committee in arriving on its compensation decisions for our NEOs include:
Completed the transformational merger between the Company and the Industrials Segment of Ingersoll Rand plc (the “Merger”)
For the one year period following the closeRand. A few of the Merger (March 2, 2020 - March 2, 2021), achieved total shareholder return performancehighlights include:
Record orders of 42.7%, which was 69% greater than$6,368 million, up 10% over 2021 and up 16% excluding the total shareholder returnimpact of foreign currency;
Record revenues of $5,916 million, up 15% over 2021 and up 20% excluding the S&P 500 during the same time periodimpact of 25.2%foreign currency;
Achieved annualized Merger integration cost synergiesRecord Adjusted EBITDA of ~$175$1,435 million, up 20% over 2021, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.3%, which was a 120 basis point expansion year-over-year; and13
In the courseFree Cash Flow from continuing operations4 of less than a year, increased the overall three-year Merger related cost synergy target by 20% from the originally announced $250$771 million target to $300 million2up 37% over 2021 with each quarter cash flow positive.
Expanded full year Adjusted EBTIDA margins (despite lower year-over-year revenue due primarily to COVID-19) through prudent cost controls and efficiency enhancementsThis performance was driven by applyingthe efforts of our more than 16,000 employees and their steadfast commitment to thinking and acting like owners as well as our competitive differentiator – Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) processes– which fuels our performance and powers our purpose of Making Life Better. These financial highlights weren’t the only measure of stockholder value creation driven by this powerful combination. We are excited to report significant accomplishments across each of our five strategic imperatives including:
Generated $866 million in FCF3 and completed the year with a strong balance sheet, $2.7 billion in liquidity and a net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio substantially similar to that as of the end of 2019
Deploy Talent.In 2022, we launched our new Ownership Works equity program that allows every one of our employees to become an owner - whether they join us as new hires or via acquisition - and since this launch we have made equity grants to over 3,200 new employees.5 These new owners are in addition to those employees who became owners through our two landmark all-employee equity grants at the time of our initial public offering and the Merger. Incredibly, the value of the common stock granted to employees through Ownership Works and these landmark grants has appreciated from $275 million to nearly $590 million in value as of March 31, 2023. We can see the results of the power of ownership as our employee engagement score has increased each year since the Merger, including in 2022. According to our engagement survey partner, we now rank in the top 10% of manufacturing organizations in the area of employee satisfaction and continue to increase our score in this area even while the industry average score has declined.

ContinuedAccelerate Growth. We accelerated our focus on the optimizationglobal megatrends of digitization, sustainability and energy efficiency, and quality of life through our strategic organic growth enablers: demand generation, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and product and service innovation. Demand Generation, our internally developed comprehensive growth engine, now produces four times the qualified leads compared to 2018. Our opportunity to digitally connect with our global installed base also accelerated in 2022 with 19% of our revenue coming from IIoT-enabled products, which already exceeded our 2023 goal. Our innovation efforts and new product development are laser-focused on efficiency and performance as well as new offerings for high growth sustainable end-markets. These growth enablers helped drive not just record revenues in 2022, but also Adjusted EBITDA growth of 20% and Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of 13% over 20216, continuing us on the path of our goal to consistently compound earnings by double-digits each year.
Lead Sustainably. We introduced our new Lead Sustainably strategic imperative - an expansion from our former Operate Sustainably strategic imperative - to better reflect that sustainability for us is about growth, efficiency and doing good for our planet. Sustainability is one of the Company’s portfoliokey megatrends that we believe will help drive our future growth as (i) we supply our customers with the energy efficient products that help them achieve their scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and (ii) focus our innovation efforts on efficiency, circularity, and safety as well as high growth sustainable end markets. In addition, being named to the DJSI World and North American indices in 2022 reflects the significant progress we have made with respect to our own operations. Our score of businesses through a number of highly accretive acquisitions including Albin Pump SAS81 on the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment puts us at #1 in North America and the Tuthill Vacuum and Blower Systems division of Tuthill Corporation
Announced an agreement to sell a majority interest#4 in the world within the machinery and electrical industry, and our score on the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment places us in the top decile of all global companies regardless of industry. The improvement from being unranked to making the DJSI indices in just three years was driven by our employees’ dedication to Making Life Better and leveraging our IRX execution excellence model. This again demonstrates how we can leverage the power of IRX to drive performance across a multitude of different initiatives.
Expand Margins. We improved the Company’s High Pressure Solutions segment,Adjusted EBITDA margin 470 basis points since 2019, including an improvement of 120 basis points in 2022 alone, for an average annual improvement of over 155 basis points, which isexceeds our long-term target of 100 bps of margin growth each year.7 In addition, cost synergy delivery efforts relating to the Merger have realized an aggregate of $265 million in savings with an additional $35 million in run-rate savings expected to reduceoccur in 2023. This performance already exceeds the Company’s direct exposure to$250 million commitment we made at the upstream oil and gas market to immaterial levels
Added Sustainability as a strategic imperative, published the Company’s first Sustainability Report, and announced significant 2030 and 2050 Environmental Goals
Awarded approximately $150 million in equity to nearly 16,000 employees who were not otherwise eligible for equity awards under the Company’s management equity plan, further establishing an ownership culture where all employees can benefit from creating value as they contribute to the Company’s success
Certain Merger-Related and One-Time Compensation Elements in 2020
Because of the transformational naturetime of the Merger and positions us to meet or exceed the onsetincreased $300 million synergy goal we introduced in 2021.
Allocate Capital Effectively. We continued to execute our comprehensive capital allocation strategy designed to drive long-term value creation and compound stockholder returns. The foundation of the global COVID-19 pandemic, there were several one-time, non-recurring compensation actions takenour strategy remains a focus on mergers and acquisitions and we deployed approximately $800 million in 2020. In addition,12 acquisitions in connection with20228, which we expect to generate over $300 million in annualized revenue in 2023. We also continued to prudently manage our decision to introduce three-year cliff-vesting performance-based equity awards, we made one-time “stub period” grants of time-vesting RSUs to address the annual vesting shortfall for participantscapital structure in the two years leading upcurrent higher interest environment by paying down $656 million in debt and executing a combination of interest rate swaps and caps and cross currency swaps to better balance fixed/floating interest rate exposure and currency mix of our debt. Finally, we returned $294 million to stockholders in 2022 through share repurchases and dividends.
In summary, our purpose-led culture, our engaged employee-owners, and the cliff vestingpower of execution excellence through IRX not only drove a high level of performance in 2022 but have also allowed us to compound stockholder value creation year-over-year. In fact, when measured from the inaugural Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) award. Because these impacts are extraordinary and drivendate of our IPO through March 31, 2023, our total stockholder return performance has been 176%, more than double the 72% return by the unique circumstances in 2020, we do not anticipate them occurring in future years. More detail on these one-time compensation elements in 2020 is set forth below:S&P 500 during the same time period.

One-time Transformational Merger-related Bonus: In recognition of the extraordinary efforts required to bring the Merger to completion, employees who played a significant role in the consummation of the Merger and related integration planning (including each of our NEOs) were awarded a one-time cash bonus.

These amounts were approved by the Committee in connection with the consummationacquisition of the Merger,SPX Flow’s Air Treatment business which was overwhelmingly supported by our stockholders. For more information see “2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail – One-Time Transformational Merger Bonuses.”
Shift of Total Compensation Mix to be more Performance-Based and Resulting Stub-Period RSUs: In response to stockholder feedback, the Company introduced performance share units to the annual equity grant mix in 2020. The resulting compensation structure is beneficial to our stockholders given that when combined with stock options, 75% of annual equity value is delivered in instruments directly tied to increasing stockholder value over the long-term. However, as a consequence of our efforts to enhance the annual equity incentive awards’ link to specific long-term performance goals, the introduction of PSUs with 3-year cliff vesting created an annual vesting shortfall for participants in the two years leading up to the inaugural PSU award being 100% vested. To address this shortfall, which we believe could have negatively impacted retention and employee engagement, we awarded one-time “Stub Period” RSUs to ensure there was no decrease in the retention value of our annual long-term incentive awards caused by the shift towards performance-vested equity. For more information see “2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail – One-Time “Stub Period” RSUs Granted in 2020”.
Merger-Related Relocation Costs: In connection with the Merger, the Company’s headquarters were moved from Milwaukee, WI to Davidson, NC. As a result, several NEOs were required to relocate. Consistent with standard market practices, the Company assumed relocation costs for impacted executives, which resulted in year-over-year increases to the “All Other Compensation” values reported
completed on January 3, 2023.

in our “SummaryPerformance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award & New CEO Employment Agreement
Background
As previously disclosed, effective as of September 1, 2022, the Compensation Table”. These relocation costs were solelyCommittee approved the resultgrant of a Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award (the “Performance-Based Award”) to Vicente Reynal, CEO and Chairman of the MergerBoard, under the Company’s Amended and wereRestated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended by the First Amendment, dated April 27, 2021, the “2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The Compensation Committee also approved, effective as of September 1, 2022, a one-time expensenew employment agreement with Mr. Reynal (the “Employment Agreement”).
Rationale
The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Reynal’s vision and leadership have been integral to the Company’s growth and success, as reflected by the significant stockholder value creation during his tenure as CEO. Therefore, the Compensation Committee approved the Performance-Based Award and Employment Agreement to incentivize Mr. Reynal to continue this track record of financial outperformance and retain him as the Company’s CEO for the foreseeable future.
In order to make the Performance-Based Award more effective at achieving its goal of retention, the Company entered into a revised Employment Agreement with Mr. Reynal for an initial term of five years. This new agreement also includes increased non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, which would remain in effect for two years after termination – an increase from the one year stipulated in the prior agreement.
In line with its executive compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee expressly designed the Performance-Based Award to: (i) drive the creation of long-term stockholder value, (ii) further strengthen the alignment of Mr. Reynal’s interests with those of long-term stockholders, and (iii) encourage the retention of Mr. Reynal for the next five to retain our top talent in lightten years.

Components of Performance-Based Award
The Performance-Based Award has two components:
(i)
Performance Stock Units (PSUs) that vest only if the Company achieves earnings growth objectives and robust stockholder value creation and Mr. Reynal remains employed for at least five years. PSUs would be earned and vested based upon the Company achieving earnings growth objectives (the “Adjusted EPS PSUs”) and robust stockholder value creation (the “TSR PSUs”). In the event that the threshold Adjusted EPS CAGR Goal (as described below) is not achieved during the five-year performance period, the Adjusted EPS PSUs will be automatically forfeited. Similarly, should the TSR Target Price (as defined below) not be achieved during the five-year performance period, the TSR PSUs will automatically be forfeited.
(ii)
Stock Options would be granted only with respect to fiscal years 2022 through 2026 if, and only if, the Company’s Adjusted EPS growth (determined using the same standard used for the Adjusted EPS PSUs) in any such fiscal year is at least 12%, with any stock options granted in the following fiscal year on the same date on which the Company grants its annual long-term incentive plan awards to its senior executives.
a.
Adjusted EPS PSUs: 75% of the PSUs (750,000 PSUs) are eligible to vest based on the level of compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of the Company’s Adjusted EPS over the 5-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2026 (the “EPS Performance Period”) relative to the fiscal year 2021 Adjusted EPS baseline.
a.
To increase the incentive and retentive value, each grant of stock options will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and will cliff vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Reynal’s continued employment through such respective vesting date.

b.
TSR PSUs: 25% of the PSUs (250,000) would be earned (but not vested) only if the TSR Target Price9 of $81.85 is achieved during the five-year period commencing on the date of grant (“TSR Performance Period”). If earned, the award vests at the end of TSR Performance Period only if Mr. Reynal has been continuously employed by the Company throughout the TSR Performance Period.
b.
If the Adjusted EPS goal is not achieved, no stock options would be granted for that fiscal year under this component of the award.
9
The “TSR Target Price” of $81.85 is the absolute stock price equivalent to a five-year CAGR of 12% in the Company’s stock price from the Grant Date Stock Price to the end of the TSR Performance Period and is calculated as the sum of (i) the 60-day volume-weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock, plus (ii) the cumulative value of any dividends paid during the TSR Performance Period through and including such date that equals or exceeds the TSR Target Price. The “Grant Date Stock Price” is $46.45, the 60-day volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the grant date.

The table below defines our annual target compensation structure for our NEOs (other than Ms. Weaver who was not employed by the Company for the entire year), which reflects the primary direct compensation elements that the Committee considers when evaluating executive pay (namely, base salary; target bonus; and long term equity-based incentives (referred to as “Total Direct Compensation”)). The table excludes the extraordinary one-time compensation impacts described above (namely, the one-time Merger-related bonuses; the stub-period RSUs; Mr. Kini’s one-time relocation bonus; the COVID-19-related temporary base salary reductions; and the amounts included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the SCT). The Committee views Total Direct Compensation as a better illustration of the way the Committee looks at our current NEOs’ annual pay and the implementation of the Company’s compensation philosophy than the total values for 2020 displayed in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) since the SCT is required to include extraordinary, one-time impacts.

Stockholder Engagement, and “Say on Pay” Results and Frequency Vote
We value our stockholders’ perspectives on our business and each year proactively interact with investors through numerous engagement activities. In 2020,2022, these included our annual stockholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and various investor conferences and meetings. In addition, in September 2022, we held our second annual sustainability conference call. Throughout 2020,2022, management also proactively engaged directly with our top 2050 stockholders (withwith actively managed funds)funds, representing approximately 80% of our stockholder base based on share ownership, through quarterly business updates, non-deal roadshows and investor conferences resultingconferences. This resulted in over 80750 individual investor touchpoints with these stockholders where we were able to communicate Company strategy and provide updates on business performance.long-term objectives and receive feedback from stockholders.
At the Company’s annual meeting in May 2018,June 2021, when stockholders last voted on the advisory “say on pay” proposal, we received substantialover 95% support for our executive compensation program, with over 99% of the stockholders who voted on the “say on pay” proposal approving the compensation of our NEOs, which wasprogram.

total shareholder return performance measured over a three-year period. Although there was no Say on Pay vote in 2020, we believe the overwhelming support for the Merger is indicative of the support stockholders have voiced not only for our business strategy, but also for the compensation programs that support that strategy. 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 years.

The Decision-Making Process
The Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The Committee works closely with its independent consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program throughout the year. For additional information regarding the Committee see “The Board of Directors and Certain Governance Matters―Board Committees and Meetings―Compensation Committee.”
The Role of the Committee. The Committee ensures that the executive compensation program supports the Company’s business goals and aligns with stockholder interests. The Committee annually reviews NEO compensation levels by considering various factors, including:
The relative importance of each NEO’s role and responsibilities
How the NEO has performed relative to these roles and responsibilities

Compensation practices of Peer Group companies (as defined below)
Overall company performance
Retention and Succession considerations
The Role of Management. Our CEO makes recommendations to the Committee regarding compensation for the executive officers other than himself. No member of management participates in discussions with the Committee regarding his or her own compensation.
The Role of the Independent Consultant. The Committee retained Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”), a compensation consulting firm, to assist it 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 March 2021, the 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 2020, Pearl Meyer advised the Committee on a variety of topics, including competitive market assessment for executive and non-employee director compensation levels, merger-related compensation determinations, trends regarding COVID-19 related pay adjustments, compensation peer group review, 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.
A revised Compensation Peer group was developed in anticipation of the Company’s transformational Merger. This revision resulted in the selection of companies that are similar in size (both in terms of revenue and market capitalization) and scope of operations to the Company after the Merger, and are representative of the companies with which we compete for revenue and talent.
Companies chosen are comparable in revenue and enterprise 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 Compensation Peer group (“Peer Group”) to help set compensation levels for 2020:
AMETEK, Inc.
Avery Dennison Corporation
Celanese Corporation
Dover Corporation
Flowserve Corporation
Fortive Corporation
IDEX Corporation
Mettler-Toledo International, Inc.
Oshkosh Corporation
Parker-Hannifin Corporation
Pentair Plc
Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Xylem, Inc.
The Committee does not rely solely on data from the Peer Group in establishing compensation levels and practices as highlighted above. However, 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 between the 50th and 75th percentile of the Peer Group. Additionally, the Committee may also consider survey compensation data based on companies of similar size to Ingersoll Rand.
Many of the pay increases cited under “2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail” were driven largely by the changes to the Peer Group that resulted from the Merger, as the Committee sought to continue to provide market competitive compensation opportunities consistent with the increased complexity of managing a larger organization, where applicable for such roles, and aligned with the philosophy described above.

2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail
Base Salary
Base salary is the only fixed component of 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 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 reviewed annually or at other times when appropriate (for example, promotions, changes in job scope and/or responsibilities, etc.) and may be increased from time to time pursuant to such review.
In recognition of the Company’s transformational Merger and significantly larger size and scope of operations, in February 2020, the Committee approved base salary increases to each of our NEOs for 2020 as outlined in the table below, in each case effective on the completion of the Merger. These base salary increases had been reviewed in 2019 by the Committee prior to the February 2020 approval and were designed to align with the compensation of our post-Merger peer group.
Consistent with our philosophy to focus on long-term variable pay versus fixed cash compensation, the Committee generally established 2020 salary rates atAt or below median

The Committee viewed 2020 as an extraordinary year in which it was necessary to recalibrate pay levels to reflect the Company’s new business and size profile after the Merger and the accompanying expansion in oversight and responsibilities for each of our NEOs. In the future, the Committee does not anticipate granting salary increases of this magnitude other than in exceptional circumstances (for example, in connection with a promotion involving a significant increase in responsibilities).
As a result of the COVID-19 downturn, in an effort to preserve cash in the interest of the long-term health and sustainability of the Company, our executive officers (including each of our NEOs) and members of our Board of Directors volunteered to temporarily reduce their base salaries and cash director fees, respectively, by 15% from April 1, 2020 through the end of 2020.
The following table reflects the unadjusted base salary rates of our NEOs as of December 31, 2020 (other than Ms. Weaver who was no longer employed by the Company on that date) as well as the reduced base salary rates in effect from April 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020:

2020 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 in 2020”) 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 2020, 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. Mr. Miñarro Viseras’ annual cash bonus award was based in part on the achievement of overall Industrial Technologies and Services (“ITS”) group performance (excluding the power tools division) and in part on the achievement of Industrials Technologies and Services EMEIA (“ITS EMEIA”) performance, as described below, to reflect his leadership of the Industrials EMEIA business unit and his ability to impact the overall Industrials Group. A detailed description of the 2020 MIP design and the calculation of the actual amounts paid to each of our NEOs is provided below.
For 2020, 100% of MIP payouts were based on Adjusted EBITDA performance. The Committee felt that a plan focused entirely on Adjusted EBITDA was appropriate following the Merger because it provides a reliable indicator of our strategic growth and the strength of our overall financial results. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, nonrecurring and other adjustment items.
For our Corporate NEOs, Corporate performance against the Adjusted EBITDA metric is determined based on achievement against the Adjusted EBITDA targets for the Company. For our NEO at the ITS group level, Mr. Miñarro Viseras, performance against the Adjusted EBITDA metric is based 30% on the total ITS segment (excluding the power tools division), and 70% on the ITS EMEIA region business unit.
The following table details the payout percentage associated with a corresponding performance level against the Adjusted EBITDA targets for our NEOs at both the Corporate and ITS group level, with the payout percentage for performance between such levels determined on a linear basis:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Historically, the Committee approved performance metrics and goals for the MIP program at its February meeting. However, in light of preparations for the Merger with the Industrial segment of Ingersoll Rand and forecasting difficulties due to the Merger not yet being completed, the Committee approved the MIP performance metric in February, but did not approve goals until May 2020. In May, after the Merger, the Committee was able to consider both the pro-forma budget that each of the separate Gardner Denver and Ingersoll Rand Industrial Segment management teams had developed in February 2020 (prior to the completion of the Merger and prior to COVID-19-related shutdowns) (the, “Pre Merger Annual Operating Plan”, or “PAOP”) as well as a revised outlook established shortly after the Merger reflecting the first three months of actual 2020 performance plus the forecast for the final nine months of fiscal 2020 (the “3+9 Forecast”). This 3+9 Forecast included a more accurate understanding of the Company post-Merger given the newly-combined management team’s better access to financial data, and also included an estimate of the impact of COVID-19 on business operations.
In May 2020, based on its consideration of the PAOP and 3+9 Forecast, the Committee determined that the MIP program would be based on the PAOP developed in February 2020. However, the Committee reserved the ability to exercise discretion at year end to appropriately adjust final payouts based on performance against the 3+9 Forecast as well as an assessment of the evolving impact of COVID-19 on business operations. The Committee felt that adopting an approach grounded in the PAOP was the most prudent approach, but recognized that it might need to exercise its discretion given that the Company was simultaneously executing on a transformational merger and addressing the disruptions related to COVID-19. This approach was deemed to be reasonable given that the PAOP was impacted by forecasting difficulties that arose from the in-progress Merger and the fact that it was established before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
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. 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 may be allocated to the Adjusted EBITDA at our business units at the discretion of the Committee. While there are no individual goals for purposes of MIP award payments, the Committee, on the recommendation of Mr. Reynal, may adjust an incentive payment upward or downward for performance-related reasons for other NEOs. In addition, the Committee has discretion to adjust MIP award payments for unanticipated events.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Committee exercised its discretion in determining 2020 MIP payouts following a review of performance against the PAOP, the revised 3+9 Forecast and the evolving impact of COVID-19. It noted that the Company as a whole had performed better than the 3+9 Forecast. However, despite achievement vs. the 3+9 Forecast that would have resulted in above target MIP payouts for the NEOs at the Corporate level, the Committee determined that payouts to the NEOs should be capped at 100% of target in recognition of lack of achievement relative to the PAOP Target. In recognition of the more significant impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s European business, the Committee also determined to exercise its discretion to pay Mr. Miñarro Viseras his target bonus amount for 2020, notwithstanding below target achievement at the ITS group level.
The following table sets forth our actual performance in 2020 and the actual payout percentage achieved with respect to the Adjusted EBITDA metric applicable to our NEOs at the Corporate level (other than Ms. Weaver, who was not eligible to receive a payment under the MIP due to her departure from the Company in June 2020) under each of the PAOP and the 3+9 Forecast.

We believe the Adjusted EBITDA goals under the PAOP and the 3+9 Forecast provided extremely challenging goals for plan participants at the ITS group level, including Mr. Miñarro Viseras, given the 2020 business environment. At the ITS group level, actual performance against the Adjusted EBITDA metric under the PAOP was 85% of target for the total ITS segment and 77% of target for the ITS EMEIA region, resulting in a weighted payout percentage of 84% for Mr. Miñarro Viseras. Actual performance against the Adjusted EBITDA metric under the “3+9” forecast was 103% of target for the total ITS segment and 90% of target for the ITS EMEIA region, resulting in a weighted payout percentage of 94% for Mr. Miñarro Viseras.

One-Time Transformational Merger Bonuses
On February 27, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Merger and after careful consideration over the course of two Committee meetings, the Committee awarded transaction bonuses to certain individuals (including each of the NEOs) who played a significant and integral role in bringing about, negotiating and consummating the Merger as well as the integration planning that resulted in 2020 annualized Merger integration cost synergies of ~$175 million and an overall three-year Merger related cost synergy target of $300 million.1 The transaction bonuses recognize the overwhelming stockholder support for the Merger and the extraordinary efforts of our management team in bringing the transformative Merger to completion and establishing an integration plan that resulted in obtaining these cost synergies and creating significant stockholder value since the date of the Merger.
The transaction bonus amounts awarded to each of the NEOs, as outlined in the table below, were set equal to 100% of their then current MIP target values. In determining to award the transaction bonuses in the amount of the NEOs’ MIP target values, the Committee took into consideration benchmarking data provided by Pearl Meyer and the instrumental role of the NEOs in bringing about, negotiating and consummating the Merger as well as the integration planning that resulted in stockholder value creation described above.

2020 annualized Merger integration cost synergies included approximately $110 million of annualized structural reductions executed, including approximately $85 million savings delivered in 2020, and approximately $65 million of annualized procurement savings executed, including approximately $30 million delivered in 2020. We expect to be able to realize the anticipated cost synergies of approximately $300 million by the end of year 3 after closing. We expect to incur approximately $450 million of expense in connection with both achieving these cost synergies and the associated stand-up of the new company.

One-Time Merger-Related Relocation and Retention Bonus – Mr. Kini
In May 2019, after we had entered into the Merger Agreement, we entered into change in control severance agreements with certain key non-executive officer employees, including Mr. Kini, who was not an executive officer at that time, as part of a retention program to induce them to stay with the Company and remain focused on our business while the Merger transaction was pending. The arrangement originally provided for a payment in the amount of $244,901 for Mr. Kini if he remained employed by the Company through the completion of the Merger and his employment was subsequently terminated by the Company. In September 2019, we identified certain non-executive key employees who were part of this retention program (including Mr. Kini) whose contributions we determined would be critical to the Company’s continued success following the Merger, and converted their change in control severance arrangements into relocation and retention bonuses payable if they remained employed by the Company and relocated to the Charlotte, North Carolina area by September 1, 2020. In consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in May of 2020 we further amended the program to provide that certain participants (including Mr. Kini) would become entitled to 50% of the original bonus amount if they remained employed by the Company through September 1, 2020, and committed by such time to relocate to the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Under this amendment, they would then become entitled to the remaining 50% of the original bonus amount once they actually relocated to the Charlotte, North Carolina area (assuming they remained employed by the Company). The amount that became payable to Mr. Kini under this program in 2020 is reflected in the “Bonus” column of the SCT. Mr. Kini completed his relocation to the Charlotte, North Carolina area during the first quarter of 2021 and will be paid the remaining 50% of his original bonus amount at the end of April 2021.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards
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 drive executives to deliver strong stock performance, align our executives’ experience with long-term stockholder value creation, and to attract and retain highly-qualified executives. The details of these awards are as follows:
50% in Performance Share Units (PSUs). The PSUs have a 3-year performance period that runs from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 (the “Performance Period”) and performance is measured based on Relative TSR vs. S&P 500 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 PSUs will be capped at 100% if the Company’s TSR is negative.
TSR is calculated as the appreciation in the price per share of a company’s common stock during the Performance Period (assuming any dividends or distributions are reinvested), expressed as a percentage, and 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, 2020, comprised the S&P 500.1
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.
1
If prior to the end of the Performance Period a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 on January 1, 2020 ceases to publicly report, on either a recognized stock exchange or “over the counter” market, 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 on January 1, 2020 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%).

Reflects total value of: (i) annual grants made on March 6, 2020, and (ii) supplemental promotion grants made on June 30, 2020.
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 performance share units, shares of restricted stock and stock options by taking such dollar amount and dividing it by the per share or per option “fair value” that was used for reporting the compensation expense associated with the grant under applicable accounting guidance, which “fair value” was based in part on the per share closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant.
Shift of Total Compensation Mix to be more Performance-Based and Resulting One-Time, Make Whole “Stub Period” RSUs
Prior to 2020, annual equity grants were delivered in an equal mix of RSUs and Stock Options, which vested in equal, annual increments over a four-year period. As a consequence of our efforts to enhance the annual equity incentive awards’ link to long-term performance, our movement from 100% time-vested equity to a majority performance-based program with the introduction of PSUs shifted 50% of the annual equity grants to a three-year cliff-vested vehicle. The resulting compensation structure is beneficial to our stockholders given that when combined with stock options, 75% of annual equity value is delivered in instruments directly tied to increasing stockholder value over the long-term. As a balance to the performance-oriented nature of our equity program, the remaining 25% is delivered in time-vested restricted stock.
However, absent intervention, this change in annual equity mix would have had the effect of creating a temporary annual vesting shortfall for legacy participants in the two years leading up to the inaugural PSU award vesting, thereby adversely impacting employee engagement as well as the retention value of the annual equity awards. To address this shortfall, participants were made whole with a supplemental one-time grant of “Stub Period” RSUs equal to 25% of their annual equity award target value. Stub Period RSUs vest in equal, annual increments over the two-year shortfall period.
Target values of the “Stub Period” RSUs granted in March 2020 for each NEO are shown below:

Vesting of Equity Awards Made Prior to our Initial Public Offering
Prior to our initial public offering, in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, we granted long-term equity awards pursuant to our 2013 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of Ingersoll Rand Holdings, Inc. (our “2013 Stock Incentive Plan”) to our NEOs in the form of stock options, with 50% of each award vesting based on time-based vesting conditions (“Time Options”) and 50% of each award vesting based on performance-based vesting conditions (“Performance Options”). A portion of these Performance Options were eligible to vest on December 31, 2020 if and only to the extent that the Company achieved the annual adjusted EBITDA

TABLE OF CONTENTS

performance target for fiscal 2020 set by the Committee (where “adjusted EBITDA” refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus transaction, management and/or similar fees paid to KKR and/or its affiliates). The fiscal 2020 adjusted EBITDA performance target was $630 million and our adjusted EBITDA performance for fiscal 2020 was $1.078 billion. Therefore, the portion of the Performance Options held by our NEOs that was eligible to vest based on the Company’s fiscal 2020 adjusted EBITDA performance vested.
Other Compensation Practices and Policies that Align Our NEOs to 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 executives (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 year we completed our initial public offering. The Covered Executives and non-employee directors are required to hold a specific level of equity ownership as outlined below.
Covered Executives: The Guidelines apply to the Covered Executives in three tiers. The stock ownership levels under the Guidelines, expressed as a multiple of the Covered Executive’s annual base 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, 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 and 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 include 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, 2021, all 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 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 reported financial results of the Company or any of its segments due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements (unless due to a change in accounting policy or applicable law), and such restatement was caused or contributed, directly or indirectly, by such employee’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, then the Committee will determine, in its discretion, whether to seek to recover or cancel any overpayment of incentive compensation paid or awarded during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement.

2022 Executive Compensation Program in Detail
Base Salary
Base salary is the only fixed component of NEO cash compensation. An NEO’s base salary is commensurate with the individual’s level of responsibility and provides them with a level of cash income predictability and stability. 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 reviewed annually or at other times when appropriate (for example, promotions, changes in job scope and/or responsibilities, etc.) and may be increased from time to time pursuant to such review.
Consistent with our philosophy to focus on long-term variable pay over fixed cash compensation, the Compensation Committee generally established 2022 base salary rates at or below the median of Peer Group salary levels. After maintaining base salaries for the majority of executive officers at 2020 rates in 2021 due to pandemic-related uncertainty, the Compensation Committee decided for 2022 to return to its normal course of market- and merit-based salary adjustments.
The following table reflects the base salary rates of our NEOs as of December 31, 2022:

Annual Cash Bonus Opportunity
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 Plan (“MIP”) based on the achievement of our financial goals for the Company and their respective business units against preset goals. Our MIP covers all managers above a certain level (including our NEOs), which includes more than 1,450 employees world-wide.
The MIP pays out to participants based on levels of performance against preset goals for financial metrics established by the Compensation 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 2018-2022”) on or after the end of the year but before the payment date.

2022 Performance Measures.
For 2022, annual cash bonus awards for Corporate NEOs (Messrs. Reynal, Kini, Schiesl, and Weatherred) were based on the achievement of overall corporate performance. Mr. Miñarro Viseras’ annual cash bonus award was based in part on the achievement of overall Industrial Technologies and Services (“ITS”) group performance (excluding the power tools division) and in part on the achievement of Industrial Technologies and Services EMEIA (“ITS EMEIA”) performance to reflect his leadership of the ITS EMEIA business unit in 2022 and his ability to impact the overall ITS segment.
For 2022, 75% of our MIP structure was based on Adjusted EBITDA10 performance against preset goals that align with the Company’s budget. The Compensation Committee determined that an incentive design with a focus on Adjusted EBITDA was appropriate because it provides a reliable indicator of both our strategic growth and the strength of our overall financial results. As a balance to this profitability metric and in support of a focus on operational efficiency, the remaining 25% of the MIP structure was based on Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue.11
For our Corporate NEOs, 100% of the MIP structure is determined based on total Company performance against the respective goals for both financial metrics. For our NEO at the ITS EMEIA business unit, Mr. Miñarro Viseras, performance against the Adjusted EBITDA financial metric is based 30% on the total ITS segment (excluding the power tools division), and 70% on the ITS EMEIA business unit, and performance against the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue financial metric is based 100% on the ITS EMEIA business unit.
The following table details the MIP payout percentage associated with a corresponding performance level against the Adjusted EBITDA targets for our NEOs and against the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue targets for our Corporate NEOs. The payout percentage for performance between such levels is determined on a linear basis:

Eligible employees may contribute to the Excess Contribution Plan when they exceed (i) the annual IRS pre-tax/Roth contribution limitsMessrs. Reynal, Kini, Schiesl, and the annual catch-up contribution limit for participants age 50 or over or (ii) the annual IRS compensation limit, under the 401(k) plan. Under the Excess Contribution Plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a participant’s eligible salary contributions to the Excess Contribution Plan. Company matching contributions under the Excess Contribution Plan are contributed to the Rabbi Trust in the form of cash rather than our common stock. All employee and Company matching contributions 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. 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 2020—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.”Weatherred.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As part of the terms of the MIP, the Compensation Committee has discretion to make plan adjustments to the MIP that can impact the award amount for some or all of the more than 1,450 participating employees. When such a plan adjustment is made, the impact of the adjustment is the same for all similarly situated participants including our NEOs.
For 2022, the Compensation Committee did not make a plan adjustment to the calculated MIP result for the Adjusted EBITDA portion (75% of MIP) of our program. However, after significant deliberation of the factors described below, the Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate to make a plan adjustment to payouts based on the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue metric (25% of the MIP payouts) for participating corporate and ITS EMEIA employees. The Compensation Committee also determined, for the reasons discussed below, it was appropriate to make an additional plan adjustment to the overall payout for participating ITS EMEIA business unit employees.
The Company did not achieve threshold performance for the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue metric for the Company or the ITS EMEIA business unit, and the formulaic payout factor in both cases was 0%. In reviewing whether this outcome was appropriate for all 563 participating corporate and ITS EMEIA employees, the Compensation Committee carefully considered multiple macroeconomic factors including extraordinary supply chain disruptions and the Company’s decision to increase inventory levels in order to successfully satisfy customer demand. The Compensation Committee also noted that these challenges were navigated while still generating positive free cash flow12 each quarter. Ultimately, the Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate to adjust payouts for this component of the MIP to the threshold payout level for all participating corporate and ITS EMEIA employees (including our NEOs) given these factors were entirely beyond the control of the MIP participants and in light of the Company’s overall strong financial performance and strategic achievements during the year.
The Compensation Committee also determined that a further overall plan adjustment was appropriate for participating ITS EMEIA employees (including Mr. Miñarro Viseras) to reflect the extraordinary impacts on the region from the shutdown of our Russia-based operations as a fallout of the war in Ukraine. The Compensation Committee recognized that the ITS EMEIA business unit made the correct decision to exit Russia, which impacted overall ITS EMEIA performance disproportionally to the rest of the business.
Prior to the plan adjustment for corporate participants, the actual calculated MIP payout for our corporate employees resulted in a formulaic payout factor of 106% of target. After the adjustment, the overall payout factor for all participating corporate employees (including our Corporate NEOs) increased to 119%. Prior to the plan adjustments for the ITS EMEIA participants, the actual calculated MIP payout for our ITS EMEIA employees resulted in a formulaic payout factor of 67% of target. After the adjustments, the overall payout factor for all participating ITS EMEIA employees (including Mr. Miñarro Viseras) was increased to 95%, maintaining a payout below target level. The Compensation Committee believes that these adjustments are consistent with our compensation philosophy and in the best interests of our stockholders.
The following table sets forth our actual payout percentage with respect to each performance metric applicable to our NEOs and illustrates the annual cash incentive awards payable to our NEOs under the 2022 MIP in light of these performance results and the plan adjustments made by the Compensation Committee described above.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards
Annual PSU, RSU and Stock Option Awards
Our long-term incentive awards, established through our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, are intended to drive executives to deliver 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 Performance Share Units (PSUs). The PSUs have a 3-year performance period that runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024 (the “Performance Period”) with the vesting of award based on Relative TSR vs. S&P 500 Industrials as follows:
Threshold Performance: 35th percentile ranking vs. index = 50% payout
Target Performance: 55th percentile ranking vs. index = 100% payout
Superior Performance: 75th (or greater) percentile ranking vs. index = 200% payout (capped)
To ensure better alignment of payouts with stockholder value creation, even if relative performance would have resulted in a payout above target, the payout under the PSUs is capped at target if the Company’s absolute TSR is negative.
TSR is calculated as the appreciation in the price per share of 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, 2022, comprised the S&P 500 Industrials.13
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 retention efforts. As discussed below,expire 10 years from the offer letters we enter into with our NEOs provide for certain payments, rights and benefitsgrant date.

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. The awards do not vest until the vesting criteria and/or time periods are satisfied and actual value realized by executives is dependent on the stock price at the time of vesting thereby aligning payouts with the change in stockholder value.

In addition, if a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 Industrials on January 1, 2022, 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%).

These grant amounts were translated into a target number of performance share units, restricted stock units and stock options by taking such dollar amount and dividing it by the per share or per option “fair value” that was used for reporting the compensation expense associated with the grant under applicable accounting guidance. This “fair value” was based in part on the per share closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant.

MIP Design Change
For the year 2023, we made two changes to our MIP performance metrics. First, for corporate managers (including our corporate NEOs) we moved from Adjusted EBITDA as a metric (75% of total MIP opportunity for corporate managers) to adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”). Adjusted EBITDA remained the earnings metric for business unit managers (including Mr. Miñarro Viseras). Second, the Net Working Capital Percent of Revenue metric (25% of the total MIP opportunity for all participating managers) was replaced with Free Cash Flow for corporate managers (including or corporate NEOs) and was replaced with “Business Operating Cash Flow” for business unit managers (including Mr. Miñarro Viseras). “Business Operating Cash Flow” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less change in Net Working Capital less Capex.
We believe these changes to our MIP better incentivize the activities by our managers that drive long-term shareholder value creation and better align our executives’ focus with those of our stockholders.
New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement
In connection with the change in his role to senior vice president & general manager, Global Precision and Science Technologies, in April 2023, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras, effective April 3, 2023 (the “New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement”). The material terms of the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement are described under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2022—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements—Employment Agreements with Mr. Miñarro Viseras” below.
CEO Performance-Conditioned Stock Options Certified in 2023
For fiscal year 2022, the Company achieved adjusted EPS (as defined in the Performance-Based Award) growth of more than 12% over such adjusted EPS in 2021. As a result, in February 2023 the Compensation Committee certified that the first tranche of the CEO’s performance-conditioned stock options had been earned, and on February 23, 2023, Mr. Reynal was awarded stock options to purchase 100,000 shares. These stock options cliff-vest on February 22, 2028, creating significant retention value.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Decision-Making Process
The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The Compensation Committee works closely with its independent consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program throughout the year. For additional information regarding the Compensation Committee, see “The Board of Directors and Certain Governance Matters―Board Committees and Meetings―Compensation Committee.”
The Role of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee ensures that the executive compensation program supports the Company’s business goals and aligns with stockholder interests. The Compensation Committee annually reviews NEO compensation levels by considering various factors, including:
The relative importance of each NEO’s role and responsibilities
How the NEO has performed relative to these roles and responsibilities
Compensation practices of Peer Group companies (as defined below)
Overall company performance
Retention and succession considerations
The Role of Management. 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.
The Role of the Independent Consultant. The Compensation Committee has retained Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”), a compensation consulting firm, to assist it 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 April 2023, 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 Compensation Committee and the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to approve Pearl Meyer’s compensation and may terminate the relationship at any time.
During 2022, the Compensation Committee directed Pearl Meyer to provide its expertise and analysis on a variety of topics, including competitive market assessment for executive and non-employee director compensation levels, compensation peer group review, review of governance matters pertaining to executive and employee compensation, the structure of short- and long-term incentive programs, and the development of Mr. Reynal’s Performance-Based Award.
Peer Group. The Compensation 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 Compensation Committee in this analysis, the Compensation 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”).
The Compensation Committee, together with its independent compensation consultant and input from management, developed a compensation Peer Group of 13 companies. Companies chosen are comparable in revenue and enterprise value to the Company, as the Compensation Committee believes revenue and enterprise value are key determinants of compensation levels. Companies selected generally have revenue of 0.5x - 2x of Ingersoll Rand’s revenue and enterprise value. In addition to size, companies are in comparable industries where we compete for executive talent. After taking these considerations into account, the Compensation Committee decided to use the following Peer Group to help set compensation levels for 2022:
AMETEK, Inc.
Avery Dennison Corporation
Celanese Corporation
Dover Corporation
Flowserve Corporation
Fortive Corporation
IDEX Corporation
Mettler-Toledo International, Inc.
Oshkosh Corporation
Parker-Hannifin Corporation
Pentair Plc
Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Xylem, Inc.
The Compensation Committee does not rely solely on data from the Peer Group in 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 Compensation 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 Compensation Committee may also consider survey compensation data based on companies of similar size to Ingersoll Rand.
In 2022, during its annual review of the Peer Group, the Compensation Committee, using similar criteria as to what is highlighted above, adopted the following 12 company Peer Group for 2023 compensation actions:
AMETEK, Inc.
Dover Corporation
Flowserve Corporation
Fortive Corporation
IDEX Corporation
Illinois Tool Works*
Mettler-Toledo International, Inc.
Nordson Corporation*
Parker-Hannifin Corporation
Pentair Plc
Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Xylem, Inc.

Added to the Peer Group in 2022. Avery Dennison Corporation, Celanese Corporation, and Oshkosh Corporation were removed.
Other Compensation Practices and Policies that Align Our NEOs to Our Stockholders
Stock Ownership and Retention Policy
To align the interests of our management and directors with those of our long-term stockholders, the Board of Directors concluded that certain of our executives (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 year we completed our initial public offering. The Covered Executives and non-employee directors are required to hold a specific level of equity ownership as outlined below.
Covered Executives: The Guidelines apply to the Covered Executives in three tiers. The stock ownership levels under the Guidelines, expressed as a multiple of the Covered Executive’s annual base 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. 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. 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 include 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, 2023, 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 requirements under the Guidelines.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 Compensation Committee determined that it may be appropriate to recover annual and/or long-term incentive compensation in specified situations. Under the policy, if the Compensation Committee determines that incentive compensation of its current and former Section 16 officers (or any other employee designated by the Board or the Compensation Committee) was overpaid, in whole or in part, as a result of a restatement of the reported financial results of the Company or any of its segments due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements (unless due to a change in accounting policy or applicable law), then the Compensation Committee will determine, in its discretion, whether to seek to recover or cancel any overpayment of incentive compensation paid or awarded 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 the Ingersoll Rand Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) plan”), which is 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 match 100% of the first 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 tax-qualified 401(k) plan.
Eligible employees may contribute up to 50% of their salary and/or eligible annual bonus compensation to the Supplemental Contribution Plan. Under the Supplemental Contribution Plan, after an eligible employee exceeds the annual 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 the first 6% of a

participant’s further eligible contributions to the Supplemental Contribution Plan. Company matching contributions under the Supplemental Contribution Plan are contributed to the Rabbi Trust in the form of cash rather than our common stock. All employee and Company matching contributions under the Supplemental 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 2021, certain of our senior executives, including each of the NEOs, are eligible for a tax and financial planning benefit, under which participating executives are reimbursed for qualified services (up to $10,000 per year) 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 Plan-Based Awards in 2022—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.” For example, in 2022, per their respective employment agreements, Mr. Reynal was entitled to limited personal use of Company-leased aircraft, and Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to 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 termination by the NEO for “good reason” (as such terms are 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 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 2022―Terms of Equity Awards.”
Risk Management and Mitigation of Compensation Policies and Practices
The Compensation 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 its independent consultant, Pearl Meyer. In addition, the Compensation Committee asked Pearl Meyer to conduct an independent risk assessment of our executive and other compensation programs. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Compensation Committee 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 Compensation 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 a 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 time of their initial employment. In addition, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras in October 2018 in connection with our competitive review of executive officer compensation. As previously noted, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Reynal in September 2022. We also entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras effective April 3, 2023 (the “New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement”). Full descriptions of the material terms of the employment agreement with Messrs. Reynal, the employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras in effect on December 31, 2022 and the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, and the offer letters with Messrs. Schiesl and Weatherred are presented below in “―Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2022.”

Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements
In general, the Company historically has entered into offer letters with its executive officers in lieu of employment agreements. However, as previously discussed, we did enter into an employment agreement with Mr. Reynal in September 2022. We also entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras in
47

TABLE OF CONTENTS

October 2018, and a new employment agreement in April 2023. Descriptions of the offer letters we entered into with Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl, and Weatherred, and the employment agreement with Mr. Reynal and the employment agreements with Mr. Miñarro Viseras are provided below.
Employment Agreement with Mr. Reynal
Effective September 1, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved a new employment agreement with Mr. Reynal. The employment agreement, which supersedes Mr. Reynal’s prior offer letter with the Company (the “Prior Agreement”), provides for an initial term of five years (with automatic one-year renewals), an annual base salary of $1,100,000 (which is an increase of $100,000 from his annual base salary in 2021), an annual target bonus of 150% of annual base salary (which target bonus remains unchanged from the Prior Agreement) and eligibility for the performance-conditioned stock option grants described above under “Executive Summary - Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award & New CEO Employment Agreement.”
Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Reynal’s severance entitlements for a termination by the Company without “Cause” or his resignation for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Employment Agreement) remain unchanged from the Prior Agreement and are discussed below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control.” The Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Reynal may make personal use of the aircraft leased by the Company for an amount of time that does not result in the Company incurring more than $200,000 in aggregate incremental costs per year.
In addition, in exchange for entering into the Employment Agreement and receiving the Performance-Based Award, the post-termination non-competition, non-solicitation of clients and non-solicitation of employees covenants increased from 12 months under the Prior Agreement to 24 months.
Employment Agreements with Mr. Miñarro Viseras
The employment agreement the Company entered into with Mr. Miñarro Viseras on October 22, 2018 (the “Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement”) provided that Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to receive a base salary of €330,000, was eligible to participate in the annual MIP with an award opportunity of up to 45% of his base salary, and was eligible to participate in our Management Equity Program. In addition, under the Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, in 2022, Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to use of a company car and was also covered under the standard group accident insurance of the Company.
On April 10, 2023, we entered into the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, effective April 3, 2023, in connection with the appointment of Mr. Miñarro Viseras to the position of senior vice president and general manager, Global Precision and Science Technologies. Pursuant to the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, Mr. Miñarro Viseras will receive a base salary of $540,000 and continued entitlement to use of a company car. Under the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, we are required to provide Mr. Miñarro Viseras with six months’ notice in the event of his termination, and we have the option to place him on garden leave during all or part of his notice period immediately until the date of termination provided we continue to pay him his full pay and benefits during such notice period. The New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement subjects Mr. Miñarro Viseras to non-competition, non-solicitation of clients and non-solicitation of employees covenants that apply during his employment, notice period, as well as for six months following termination of employment (or the start of garden leave, if sooner). Mr. Miñarro Viseras is entitled to continue to receive his base salary during the six-month post-termination restriction period as consideration for such covenants, which amount must be repaid by him if he violates the restrictive covenants. The New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement otherwise has terms that are materially consistent with his prior employment agreement.
Offer Letter with Mr. Schiesl
The Company entered into an offer letter with Mr. Schiesl, dated November 25, 2013 (the “Schiesl Offer Letter”). The Schiesl Offer Letter provides that Mr. Schiesl is entitled to receive a base salary of $450,000 and is eligible to participate in the annual MIP with a target award opportunity of 75% of his base salary.
Mr. Schiesl is also eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k), Supplemental Contribution, medical, dental, life insurance and disability plans, along with a comprehensive wellness program.
The Schiesl Offer Letter also contains severance arrangements, which are discussed below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control.”

Risk Management

Reflects vested and Mitigation of Compensation Policiesexercisable Time Options and Practices
The Committee has reviewed our incentive compensation programs, discussed the concept of risk as it relatesPerformance Options granted pursuant to our compensation program, considered various mitigating factors,2013 Stock Incentive Plan and reviewed these items with its independent consultant, Pearl Meyer. In addition,2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
(2)
Reflects unvested stock options granted prior to our Committee asked Pearl Meyerinitial public offering pursuant to conduct an independent risk assessment of our executive compensation program. Based2013 Stock Incentive Plan and unvested stock options granted from 2018 through 2022 pursuant to our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Stock options granted to our NEOs on these reviewsFebruary 22, 2018 vest in equal installments on the second, third, fourth, and discussions, the Committee 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 a manner that prudently manages enterprise risk.
Employment Agreements
We do not typically enter into employment agreements with our NEOs; however, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras when 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. In addition, we entered into offer letters setting forth initial compensation and benefits, as well as severance terms, for their service in substantially their current roles with Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl and Weatherred. Full descriptionsfifth anniversaries of the material termsgrant date.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary grade of 20band 8 or higher (generally senior managersdirector and above) are eligible to participate in the ExcessSupplemental 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 salary deferral percentage elected by the participant under the 401(k) plan. The participant selects the deferral percentage for both the 401(k) plan and the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan at the time of initial enrollment in the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan or once per year in December for the following year. In December of each year, a participant may make a separate election to defer from the annual MIP award earned the following year and payable in the year thereafter. The Company matches each participant’s contributions to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan with Company matching contributions. The Company match consists of $1 for each $1 the participant defers under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan (up to the first 6% of a participant’s annual eligible compensation), less any matching contribution made to the 401(k) plan. The Company match is credited to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan in the form of cash.
Historically, the NEOs were also credited with a nonelective Company contribution of 12% of eligible 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 effective January 1, 2015.
With respect to employee and Company matching contributions made to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan on and after January 1, 2021, participants may elect to receive distributions related to each calendar year in a lump sum or 5-, 10-, or 15-year installments payable (i) when the participant separates from service with the Company or (ii) on a specific in-service date designated by the participant. For amounts deferred between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020, participants may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or 5-, or 10-year installments payable (i) when the participant separates from service with the Company or (ii) on a specific in-service date designated by the participant. A participant makes thisthese distribution electionelections for the specific year’s contributions at the time the participant makes the salary and MIP deferral elections in December for the following year. For amounts deferred before January 1, 2019, participants in the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan may elect to receive distributions of their plan account in either a lump sum or 5- or 10-year installments payable when the participant separates from service with the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan. Loans are not permitted under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan.

“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
53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 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.
In addition to the foregoing, Messrs. Reynal, Kini, Schiesl and Weatherred are entitled to a distribution of the amounts held under our Excess Contribution Plan in connection with any termination as disclosed above under “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation - Fiscal 2020.”

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.
For purposes of the foregoing:
“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.

Except as provided in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement described below under “Transactions with Related Persons—Arrangements with Our Executive Officers, Directors and Advisors—Management, Director and Advisor Stockholder’s Agreements,” all vested options will expire upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (1) the tenth anniversary of the date such options were granted, so long as the NEO remains employed with the Company through such date; (2) the first anniversary of the termination of the NEO’s employment with the Company because of death or Disability (as defined in the option award agreement); (3) one hundred eighty (180) days after the termination of the NEO’s employment with the Company without Cause (as defined in the option award agreement) (except due to death or Disability) or the NEO’s resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the option award agreement); (4) the date the NEO’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause; or (5) thirty (30) days after the NEO’s employment is terminated by the NEO without Good Reason. 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, if any, of (x) the per share consideration paid to stockholders of the Company in the transaction over (y) the exercise price of the option.

Effect of Qualifying Termination on Vesting of PSUs, RSUs, and Options. In the event of an NEO’s termination without Cause (as defined below) or Approved Retirement (as defined below), such NEO’s outstanding RSUs and options that would have vested on the first vesting date otherwise scheduled to occur immediately following the date 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 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 the NEO’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs and options if the NEO’s termination 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 Change in Control on Vesting of PSUs, RSUs, and Options. 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.

If Mr. Reynal dies, becomes permanently disabled or experiences a Qualifying Termination prior to the end of the EPS Performance Period, the calculation to determine the number of Adjusted EPS PSUs, if any, that will become vested will be conducted as though (i) the last day of the EPS Performance Period was the date on which such termination occurs and (ii) the Company’s Adjusted EPS will be the Adjusted EPS for the Company or willful or repeated failure or refusal to perform such duties; (B) engagement in conduct in connection withlast four completed fiscal quarters during the NEO’s employment or service with the Company, which results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, material harmEPS Performance Period prior to the business or reputationdate of such termination (or, if there are not four completed fiscal quarters at the time of such termination, then all of the Company or any other memberAdjusted EPS PSUs will be forfeited on the date of such termination) and, if the reason for such termination is a Qualifying Termination, the number of Adjusted EPS PSUs that will become vested will be prorated by the number of days Mr. Reynal was employed during the EPS Performance Period.

If a change in control (as defined in the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan); (C) conviction occurs following the expiration of or plea of guilty or no contest to, (I) any felony; or (II) any other crime that results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, material harmthe EPS Performance Period but prior to the business or reputationEPS PSU Vesting Date, then the Adjusted EPS PSUs will vest on the closing of such change in control based on the Company or any other memberachievement of the Company Group; (D) engagingAdjusted EPS in any act of moral turpitude, illegality or harassment, whether or not such act was committed in connectionaccordance with the NEO’s servicestable above under “Potential Payments to the Company Group; (E) material violationNamed Executive Officers upon Termination of the Company’s Code of ConductEmployment or any other written policies of the Company, including, but not limited to, those relating to sexual harassment or the disclosure or misuse of confidential information, or those set forthChange in the manuals or statements of policy of the Company; (F) fraud or misappropriation, embezzlement or misuse of funds or property belonging to the Company or any other member of the Company Group; or (G) act of personal dishonesty that involves personal profitControl” so long as Mr. Reynal has remained in connection with the NEO’s employment or service to the Company.
“Detrimental Activity” means any of the following: (i) unauthorized disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information of any member of the Company Group; (ii) any activity that would be grounds to terminate the NEO’s employment or service with the Company for Cause; or (iii) a breach by the NEO of any restrictive covenant by which such NEO is bound, including, without limitation, the covenants contained in the applicable award agreement.
“Retirement” means the NEO’s termination ofcontinuous employment with the Company through such change in control.

The number of Adjusted EPS PSUs, if any, resulting from such calculation will become vested on the closing of the change in control so long as Mr. Reynal has remained continuously employed through such change in control.
If a change in control occurs prior to the expiration of the EPS Performance Period and the award is assumed by the successor to the Company, and Mr. Reynal is subsequently terminated due to death, permanent disability or aftera Qualifying Termination following such change in control but prior to the end of the EPS Performance Period, the Adjusted EPS PSUs will become vested in full on the date of such termination.
Effect of Qualifying Termination or Termination due to Death or Disability on Vesting of the TSR PSUs
If the TSR Target Price is achieved prior to the end of the TSR Performance Period and Mr. Reynal is terminated due to his death or permanent disability prior to the expiration of such performance period, then all of the TSR PSUs will vest upon such termination. If the TSR Target Price is achieved prior to the end of the TSR Performance Period and Mr. Reynal experiences a Qualifying Termination prior to the end of the TSR

Performance Period, then he will vest pro-rata in a number of TSR PSUs based on the number of days he was employed with the Company during the TSR Performance Period. The TSR Target Price has not been achieved as of the date hereof so all the TSR PSUs would have been forfeited by Mr. Reynal if his employment had terminated due to one of the above-described events on December 30, 2022.
Effect of a Change in Control on Vesting of the TSR PSUs
If a change in control occurs following the date on which the NEO has reached age 62TSR Target Price is achieved, then all of the TSR PSUs will become fully vested immediately prior to such change in control subject to Mr. Reynal’s continued employment through such change in control.
Subject to Mr. Reynal’s continued employment through such change in control, if a change in control occurs during the TSR Performance Period and has completed at least 10 years of service withprior to the date on which the TSR Target Price is achieved, and the award is not assumed by the successor to the Company, Group.then the TSR Performance Period will end on the date of the change in control and (i) if the sum of (A) the price per share of the Company’s common stock payable in connection with such change in control, plus (B) the cumulative value of any dividends paid during the TSR Performance Period through and including the date of the change in control equals or exceeds the TSR Target Price, the TSR PSUs will vest immediately prior to the closing of such change in control, and (ii) if such sum is less than the TSR Target Price, all of the TSR PSUs will automatically be forfeited immediately prior to the closing of such change in control. If a change in control had occurred on December 30, 2022 and the TSR PSUs were not assumed by the successor to the Company, no vesting of the TSR PSUs would have occurred based on the application of the above-described formula.
If a change in control occurs prior to the date on which the TSR Target Price is achieved and the TSR PSUs are assumed by the successor to the Company and Mr. Reynal is terminated due to death, permanent disability or a Qualifying Termination following such change in control but prior to the end of the TSR Performance Period, the TSR PSUs will become fully vested on the date of such termination.
Effect of Qualifying Termination on Vesting of the Performance-Conditioned Stock Option Grants
If Mr. Reynal experiences a Qualifying Termination or he dies or becomes permanently disabled, the number of shares subject to the stock options that will become vested on the date of such termination will be determined as if the stock options had instead vested 20% per year over five years and, solely in the event of a termination due to his death or permanent disability, Mr. Reynal will become immediately vested in an additional 20% of the stock options.
Effect of a Change in Control on Vesting of the Performance-Conditioned Stock Option Grants
If a change in control occurs and the stock options are not assumed, then the stock options will become vested in full immediately prior to the change in control.

Directors Associated with KKR
Our non-employee directors associated with KKR, including Messrs. Brahm, Stavros and Weisenbeck, received no compensation for their service on our Board of Directors in 2020.
Messrs. Donnelley, Forsee, Humphrey, Jones, Kassling, Marn, Vande Steeg and White and Mses. Arnold and Centoni
Following a competitive market assessment of non-employee director compensation conducted by Pearl Meyer in connection with the Merger, the Board adopted the following director compensation program beginning upon the completion of the Merger for each of our non-employee directors not associated with KKR:directors:
Annual cash retainer of $75,000, payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for any partial year of service;
Annual equity award having a fair market value of $175,000, payable in RSUs, which vests on the anniversary of the grant date;
Additional annual cash retainerequity award having a fair market value of $25,000, payable quarterly in arrearsRSUs, which vests on the anniversary of the grant date, for serving as the chairperson of our Audit Committee and an additional annual equity award having a fair market value of $10,000, annual cash retainer payable quarterly in arrearsRSUs, which vests on the anniversary of the grant date, for serving as a member of such committee, prorated, in each case, for any partial year of service;

As discussed above under “Compensation Discussiondate, to compensate our Lead Director, if applicable, for the additional time and Analysis,” members of our Board of Directors volunteered to temporarily reduce their cash director fees by 15% from April 1, 2020 through the end of 2020.
Prior to the Merger in 2020, our director compensation program for our non-employee directors notresponsibilities associated with KKR was as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, in December 2013, we granted each of Messrs. Kassling, Marn and Vande Steeg 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 KKR 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 did so.
The Director Time Options vested and became 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 connection with their cessation of service in connection with the Merger, we modified the terms of the Director Time Options held by Messrs. Kassling and Vande Steeg so that such Director Time Options continue to remain outstanding until the tenth anniversary date of the date such options were granted, notwithstanding their cessation of service to the Company.
In connection with theirhis option awards, each of Messrs.Mr. Donnelly Kassling, Marn and Vande Steeg became party to a Director Stockholder’s Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 2020,2022, our last completed fiscal year:
The median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, excluding our CEO, was $53,770.$65,098.
The annual total compensation of our CEO was $12,141,175.$54,505,957.
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 226:837:1.
As noted earlier under “Compensation Discussion & Analysis – Certain Merger-Related and One-Time Compensation Elements in 2020”, Mr. Reynal’s 2020 compensation total included several one-time Merger-related items.
If we considered Mr. Reynal’s $9,200,000 “Target Total Direct Compensation” figurethe significant one-time impact of the CEO’s Performance-Based Award were removed from the supplemental table provided undercalculations:
The annual total compensation of the same heading, which amount excludes certain one-time items and certain other elements as described therein,CEO would have been $10,886,957.
The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median employee pay ratioof the annual total compensation of all of our employees except our CEO would have been 171:167:1.
The median employee identified for calculating the ratio of the CEO's annualized total compensation to that of all employees remains unchanged from the one disclosed in last year’s proxy statement. We are confident that no significant changes have been made to our employee population or compensation arrangements that would have a significant impact on our pay ratio disclosure.
We determined that, as of December 31, 2020,2021, our employee population consisted of 15,67715,454 individuals, including full time, part time, and temporary employees.
57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

To identify our “median employee” from this employee population, we obtained annual base salary and target annual bonus information as of December 31, 20202021 from our internal payroll records for each employee in 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 2020.2021. 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 20202022 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.

Forsee and Tony L. White constitute a class with a term that expires at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2021 (the “Class I Directors”); Vicente Reynal, John Humphrey and Joshua T. Weisenbeck constitute a class with a term that expires at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2022 (the “Class II Directors”); and Kirk E. Arnold, William P. Donnelly and Marc E. Jones constitute a class with a term that expires at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2023 (the “Class III Directors”).
Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the full Board of Directors has considered and nominated the following slate of nominees for a three-year term expiring in 2024: Peter M. Stavros, Elizabeth Centoni, Gary D. Forsee and Tony L. White. The Company’s stockholders will be asked to vote on this Nominee Alternative B Proposal only if the Declassification Charter Amendments in the Declassification Proposal are not approved. If the Company’s stockholders approve the Declassification Proposal, however, then the Company will file the Declassification Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the declassification of the Board during the Annual Meeting as described under the Declassification Proposal, and the stockholders will proceed to vote on the Nominee Alternative A Proposal and not this Nominee Alternative B Proposal.
If the Company’s stockholders do not approve Proposal No. 1 and therefore vote on this Proposal No. 6b, unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the form of proxy card (the “proxyholders”) attached to this Proxy Statement intend to votefor a discussion on how the proxies held by them for the election of Peter M. Stavros, Elizabeth Centoni, Gary D. Forsee and Tony L. White. If any of these four nominees ceases to be a candidate for election by the time of the Annual Meeting (a contingency which the Board does not expect to occur), such proxies may be voted by the proxyholders in accordance with the recommendation of the Board.Compensation Committee determines named executive officer pay.

CEO Compensation Actually Paid in 2022 would have been $2,927,250 if Mr. Reynal’s special one-time Performance-Based Award was excluded from the calculation. We believe this is an appropriate alternative way to view Compensation Actually Paid in 2022 given the long-term nature of Hyperion Materials & Technologies, Minnesota Rubberthe award with vesting events occurring five to ten years after the grant date. In our view, including all of this long-term compensation as Compensation Actually Paid in a single year does not reflect the long-term nature of the award and Plastics, GeoStabilization International, BrightView, and Novaria Group, and formerly served onoverstates the boards of directors of Capsugel and Capital Safety. He holds a Bachelor of Arts with honors, magna cum laude, from Williams College.

For the non-CEO NEOs, the amounts in the table reflect the average Summary Compensation Table total compensation and average Compensation Actually Paid for the following executives by year:
2022: Vikram Kini, Andrew Schiesl, Enrique Minarro-Viseras, Michael Weatherred
2021: Vikram Kini, Andrew Schiesl, Enrique Minarro-Viseras, Michael Weatherred
2020: Vikram Kini, Andrew Schiesl, Enrique Minarro-Viseras, Michael Weatherred, Emily Weaver

Based on the PvP table above, the Compensation Actually Paid values for our CEO and non-CEO NEOs are directionally aligned with our stock price performance – i.e, in years where stock has appreciated, Compensation Actually Paid exceeds the values reported in the Summary Compensation Table, whereas in years where stock price depreciates, Compensation Actually Paid is lower than the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table. There would be an even clearer correlation if Mr. Reynal’s special one-time Performance-Based Award was not included in the 2022 Compensation Actually Paid calculation.

This is not an unexpected finding. As one of the key tenets of our compensation philosophy is to deliver the majority of compensation in long-term pay, each of our NEOs’ total pay packages are comprised primarily of equity awards. As such, the Compensation Actually Paid figures will generally move in tandem with TSR.

It is also worth noting that in each of the years disclosed in the table, our total return outpaced the S&P 500 Industrials’ return over the same measurement period.

As to the financial measures displayed in the table (Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS), the table demonstrates consistent year-over-year improvement for each of these performance measures. Over time, we would expect that continued strong execution on these financial measures would positively influence the TSR and increase Compensation Actually Paid, driving a result that is based on pay-for-performance.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Arrangements with Our Executive Officers, DirectorsSince January 1, 2022, there were no “related person transactions” requiring disclosure under SEC rules and Advisorsregulations.
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, prior to or at the time of our initial public offering, 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 described 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management, Director and Advisor Stockholder’s Agreements
The Management Stockholder’s Agreements imposed significant restrictions on transfers of shares of our common stock. Generally, shares held by our management were nontransferable by any means at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined 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 were 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 of shares of common stock which a management stockholder may register is generally proportionate with the percentage of common stock being sold by certain affiliates of KKR (relative to their holdings thereof). The Management Stockholder’s Agreements also contain certain lock-up provisions in the event that any shares are offered to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.
The Director Stockholder’s Agreements and Advisor Stockholder’s Agreements are substantially similar to the Management Stockholder’s Agreements. 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, the Board of Directors may waive transfer restrictions with respect to the number of shares that would have been subject to such piggyback rights.
Arrangements with KKR
Stockholders Agreement
In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into a stockholders agreement with certain affiliates of KKR, which stockholders agreement was subsequently amended on April 30, 2019, in connection with the Merger. This agreement, as amended, grants affiliates of KKR the right to nominate to our Board of Directors a number of designees equal to: (i) 14% of the total number of directors so long as affiliates of KKR beneficially own 10% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock and (ii) 10% of the total number of directors so long as affiliates of KKR beneficially own 5% or more, but less than 10%, of the outstanding shares of our common stock, in each case, rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors. Affiliates of KKR also agreed to certain covenants with respect to acquisitions of our common stock following the effective time of the Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with our acquisition by KKR on July 30, 2013 (the “KKR Transaction”), certain affiliates of KKR entered into a registration rights agreement with us. In connection with the completion of our initial public offering, we and KKR entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement. The amended and restated registration rights agreement grants such affiliates of KKR the right to cause us to register shares of our common stock held by it under the Securities Act and, if requested, to use our reasonable best efforts (if we are not eligible to use an automatic shelf registration statement at the time of filing) to maintain a shelf registration statement effective with respect to such shares. Certain affiliates of KKR are also entitled to participate on a pro rata basis in any registration of our common stock under the Securities Act that we may undertake. The amended and restated registration rights agreement also provides that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify certain affiliates of KKR and members of management participating in any offering against certain liabilities, which may arise under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to us.
Indemnification Agreement
In connection with the KKR Transaction, we also entered into a separate indemnification agreement with KKR and certain of its affiliates, which provides customary exculpation and indemnification provisions in favor of KKR and such affiliates in connection with the services provided to us under monitoring, transaction fee and syndication fee agreements we entered into with KKR or otherwise.
Relationship with KKR Capstone Americas LLC
We have utilized and may continue to utilize KKR Capstone Americas LLC and/or its affiliates (“KKR Capstone”), a consulting company that works exclusively with KKR’s portfolio companies, for consulting services, and have paid to KKR Capstone related fees and expenses. KKR Capstone is not a subsidiary or affiliate of KKR. KKR Capstone operates under several consulting agreements with KKR and uses the “KKR” name under license from KKR.
Relationship with KKR Credit
Since 2014, investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the global credit business of KKR (“KKR Credit”) were participating lenders under our existing credit agreements and holders of notes issued by us, and as of December 31, 2020, had received in aggregate principal payments of approximately $2.3 million and interest payments of approximately $9.1 million (in each case, converted from Euros to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of 1.1409, which was the average monthly translation rate for 2020). As of December 31, 2020, investment funds or accounts managed or advised by KKR Credit held a position in the Company’s Euro Term Loan Facility of €43.3 million and in the Company’s Dollar Term Loan B of $39.7 million.
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, certain affiliates of KKR served as commitment parties and lead arranger in connection with certain of our financing transactions for which they received fees of approximately $7.5 million.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions
Our Board of Directors has adopted a written statement of policy regarding transactions with related persons, which we refer to as our “related person transaction policy.” Our related person transaction policy requires that (a) any “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction that is anticipated would be reportable by us under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest) be approved or ratified by an approving body comprised of the disinterested members of our Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors (provided that a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or such committee, respectively, are disinterested) and (b) any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or recommended by the Compensation Committee to the Board of Directors for its approval. In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction:
management must disclose to the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, the name of the related person and the basis on which the person is a related person, the material terms of the related person transaction, including the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction, and all the material facts as to the related person’s direct or indirect interest in, or relationship to, the related person transaction;
management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction complies with the terms of our agreements governing our material outstanding indebtedness that limit or restrict our ability to enter into a related person transaction;
management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction will be required to be disclosed in our applicable filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and related rules, and, to the extent required to be disclosed, management must ensure that the related person transaction is disclosed in accordance with such Acts and related rules; and
management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction constitutes a “personal loan” for purposes of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
In addition, the related person transaction policy provides that the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, in connection with any approval or ratification of a related person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee, should consider whether such transaction would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent” or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE.

To be eligible under the SEC’s stockholder proposal rule (Rule 14a-8(e) of the Exchange Act) for inclusion in our 20222023 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement and form of proxy, a proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary on or before December 30, 2021.2023. Failure to deliver a proposal in accordance with this procedure may result in it not being deemed timely received.

To make a director nomination or present other business for consideration at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2022,2024, you must submit a timely notice in accordance with the procedures described in our Bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of our Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, to be presented at our Annual Meeting to be held in 2022,2024, such a proposal must be received on or after February 16, 2022,2024, but not later than March 18, 2022.17, 2024.

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.

APPENDIXANNEX A
ARTICLE VI
Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Ingersoll Rand reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including “Organic Revenue Growth,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Diluted EPS,” “Free Cash Flow,” “Adjusted Free Cash Flow,” “Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA,” “Supplemental Adjusted Revenue” and “Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS.”
BOARD OF DIRECTORSIngersoll Rand believes Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS 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, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS 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. Ingersoll Rand believes Organic Revenue Growth is a helpful supplemental measure to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions on revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income including interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions. Organic Revenue Growth is defined as As Reported Revenue growth less the impacts of Foreign Currency and Acquisitions. Ingersoll Rand believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income 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. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Average Shares Outstanding.
A. ExceptIngersoll Rand uses Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to review the liquidity of its operations. Ingersoll Rand measures Free Cash Flow as otherwisecash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and other adjustments. Ingersoll Rand believes Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are useful supplemental financial measures for management and investors in assessing the Company’s ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service its debt. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not measures of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities.
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. Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Average Shares Outstanding 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 this Second Amendedaddition to, and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shallshould not be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise providedconsidered to be a substitute for, or fixed pursuantsuperior to, the provisions of Article IV (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock)comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, Ingersoll Rand believes that Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and this Article VI relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the total number of directors shall be determined from time to time exclusivelyAdjusted Free Cash Flow are frequently used by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or moreinvestors and other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the date the Common Stock is first publicly traded (the “IPO Date”), Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO Date and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO Date. At each succeeding annual meeting, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decreaseinterested parties in the numberevaluation of directors removeissuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.
Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered as alternatives to net income, diluted earnings per share or shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below), any such directorEach director shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders and shall hold office until the
following
annual meeting at which his or her term expires

stockholders
and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to their respective class.
B. Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding or the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2017, by and among the Corporation and certain affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P.

Organic growth, impact of foreign currency, and impact of acquisitions are non-GAAP measures. References to “impact of acquisitions” refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition. The portion of GAAP revenue attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding acquisition sales) and (b) the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding acquisition sales) after applying prior year foreign exchange rates to the current year period.
