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 changes 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 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, 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”). 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?WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE?
Stockholders as of the close of business on April 20, 202118, 2024 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 420,632,637403,534,346 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?WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM?
The holders of record of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a

What is 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, theand Say on Pay Proposal and the Alternative Nominee Proposals isare 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?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 each such proposal, which means that the proposal.number of shares voted “FOR” each proposal 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.
HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED?
With respect to the DeclassificationDirector Election Proposal, the Supermajority Charter Amendment Elimination Proposal and the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal, approval of such proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 6623% of the voting power of all shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the proposal.
How are votes counted?
With respect to the Alternative Nominee Proposals, you may vote “FOR”“FOR,” “AGAINST” or “WITHHOLD”“ABSTAIN” with respect to each nominee.

The biographies and qualifications of the Companyten director nominees in this Proposal No. 1 are set forth below under the heading “Director Biographies and our stockholdersQualifications.” Mr. Tony White, after 27 years of service as a director of Ingersoll Rand and Ingersoll-Rand, plc, has decided to amend our Certificateretire at the end 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 standhis current term. As such, he was not nominated for election at thethis year’s Annual Meeting (the “Declassification Charter Amendments”).
Meeting. The full textCompany gratefully acknowledges and thanks Mr. White for his years 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 IIservice 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 amendmentsdedication 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.Board.
Your Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each of the Director nominees named above.
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.Ingersoll Rand.  12  2024 Proxy Statement

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 all director nominees named in the Nominee Alternative A Proposal (see “Proposal No. 6a—Election of Directors if Proposal No. 1 is Approved”). We intend to make this filing before 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 II 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.

Article X: Business Combinations.
We refer to the provisions listed above that currently require a supermajority stockholder vote to amend as the “Supermajority Articles.”

The full text of the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation constituting the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment is attached as Appendix C to thisIngersoll Rand.  15  2024 Proxy Statement.
Background of the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal
We are asking you to approve amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate a supermajority vote for stockholders to amend our Bylaws and to replace such provision with a majority voting standard. As discussed further below, the Certificate of Incorporation currently requires at any time KKR beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 40% in voting power of our stock, a vote of stockholders holding at least 6623% of our outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon is required for stockholders to amend, alter, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any provision of the Bylaws or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith (the “Supermajority Bylaw Amendment Provision”). As KKR currently beneficially owns less than 40% in voting power of our stock, our Bylaws can only be amended by a 6623% vote of our stockholders.
Rationale for the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal
Consistent with the Board’s review of the supermajority requirement to amend the Supermajority Articles, our Board of Directors recognizes that the elimination of the Supermajority Bylaw Amendment Provision is consistent with generally held views of evolving corporate governance practices and better aligns our governance with what is considered to be governance best practices by the investor community. Our Board of Directors has listened to the views of the investor community on this issue and has also considered the limited benefits of the Supermajority Bylaw Amendment Provision to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors acknowledges that many other public companies have transitioned away from these kinds of supermajority voting provisions. In view of these considerations, our Board of Directors has unanimously determined to eliminate the Supermajority Bylaw Amendment Provision as proposed.
Description of the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment
This Proposal No. 3 proposes to amend Article V.B. of the Certificate of Incorporation to replace “6623%” with “a majority” and delete language relating to KKR which is now obsolete. As a result, if approved and implemented, the standard for stockholder approval of any future amendments to our Bylaws, would be the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such matter, voting together as a single class.
The Board of Directors reserves the right to elect to abandon the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment, 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.

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. In connection
Governance HIGHLIGHTS
We believe our corporate governance aligns with best practices and enhances the rights of our commitment to good governance, as more fully described above under “Proposal No. 1―Amendmentstockholders. We have a declassified Board, a majority voting standard in the election of directors, and no supermajority voting requirements in our Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify 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 Amend Certificate of Incorporation and to Makeor Bylaws. Additionally, in 2023, we adopted a Corresponding Change to the Title of Article V” and “Proposal 3―Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Supermajority Vote for Stockholders to Amend Bylaws,” we are asking our“proxy access” bylaw provision which allows eligible stockholders to votenominate candidates for amendmentselection to the Certificate of Incorporation that would:
de-classify our Board and include such candidates in our proxy statement and proxy card subject to the terms, conditions, procedures and deadlines set forth in our Bylaws. We believe these governance structures provide our stockholders with a more meaningful voice in various corporate matters.
Additionally, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the annual electionrole of allLead Director of the Board in the event that the Chair of the Board is not an independent director, which reflects the Company’s continued commitment to enhanced corporate governance best practices. The Lead Director is elected by a plurality vote of the independent directors, or via unanimous vote of the independent directors if via written consent action, and serves until the Board meeting immediately following the third anniversary of appointment, provided, however, the Board may extend such term by any length up to the fifth anniversary of the Board meeting immediately following the appointment. The duties and responsibilities of the Lead Director are set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines which is available on our website at www.irco.com under “Investors: Governance: Governance Documents & Charters: Corporate Governance Guidelines.”
Recognizing the importance of sustainability to our Company and to our world, we established a Sustainability Committee of our directors;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 believe 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.

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 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.

In 2023, we granted equity to more than 1,800 employees through our Ownership Works equity program. Ingersoll Rand provides equity grants to all employees, whether they join as new hires or via acquisition, after one year of service.1 Ingersoll Rand has provided equity grants to over 21,000 employees since May 12, 2017.

Commitment to Sustainability
As partGuided by our mission of implementingMaking Life Better, leading sustainably is central to the work we do at Ingersoll Rand. Our Lead Sustainably strategic imperative is a two-pronged strategy:
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.
To grow sustainably, we focus on improving current products and services and developing new products and services that provide sustainable value to our newcustomers. In fact, of our more than 1,800 active patents, eighty-eight percent have sustainability strategy, webenefits. We also prioritize expansion into high-growth sustainable end markets such as life sciences, food and beverage, water, and clean energy, and are embedding sustainability intodelivering strong results.
Operating sustainably reflects our culturecommitment to making life better for our communities and company; driving accountability andour planet. We continue to receive external recognition for the 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.strategy.
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. We then structured our environmental, social and governance initiatives around these material topics and deployed IRX processes to help us achieve them.
One example of these initiatives is 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.

Director Nomination Process
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee weighs the characteristics, experience, independence and skills of potential candidates for election to the Board. In considering candidates for the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also assesses the size, composition and combined expertise of the Board. 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.
19

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%64% 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 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 2023, 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 leadership, finance, digital connectivity and strategy (IIoT), international business transactions, and board level strategy.
Ingersoll Rand.  27  2024 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

From this pool of highly qualified candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the Board that it appoint Mses. Schertell and Sohovich as new directors in 2023.
In selecting Mses. Schertell and Sohovich 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 extensive CEO-level management experience in the industrial space, digitalization and IIoT, as well as depth in the areas of organic growth and product innovation. The 2023 additions of Mses. Schertell and Sohovich 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 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.
Additionally, in 2023, we adopted a “proxy access” bylaw provision which allows eligible stockholders to nominate candidates for election to our Board and include such candidates in our proxy statement and proxy card subject to the terms, conditions, procedures and deadlines set forth in our Bylaws. Our proxy access bylaw provides that holders of at least 3% of our outstanding shares, held by up to 20 stockholders, holding the shares continuously for at least three years, can nominate up to the greater of two directors or 20% of our Board for election at an annual stockholders’ meeting.
These requirements are also described under the caption “Stockholder Proposals for the 20222025 Annual Meeting.”

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONExecutive Compensation
Letter From the Chair of the Compensation Committee and Lead Director of the Board
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) is accountable for Ingersoll Rand’s executive compensation program. Our objective is to motivate and retain our management team in an effective manner that ensures alignment with shareholder value creation. Fiscal 2023 was a highly successful year for Ingersoll Rand, during which we executed against a wide range of strategic goals and delivered strong financial results and industry-leading shareholder returns of 48%. During 2023, approximately $10 billion in incremental shareholder value was created. This was in addition to the more than $10 billion created since the merger of Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. (“Gardner Denver”) with Ingersoll-Rand plc’s Industrials business segment (the “Merger”) in February 2020, and the $1.3B returned to shareholders since the Merger through share repurchases and dividends. These accomplishments were achieved while leveraging our unique ownership-driven culture and focusing on our customers as well as our communities and planet.
At our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, 59% of votes were cast in favor of our “Say-on-Pay” resolution. We are seeking a higher positive vote this year. In support of this objective, the Lead Director, the Chair of the Committee and senior management engaged in extensive shareholder outreach before and after the 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting, which is discussed on pages 41-42. After talking to our shareholders, we believe the Say-on-Pay vote result last year was primarily driven by the 2022 one-time award of Performance Stock Units and performance-granted stock options to our Chief Executive Officer (CEO). We discussed with our shareholders that these grants were designed by the Committee with extremely challenging performance conditions, made to our exceptionally successful CEO in connection with a new 5-year employment agreement, and intended to provide retention power through 2032. The performance conditions and rationale for the grant received positive feedback from many of the shareholders with whom we engaged.
In addition, these discussions provided valuable shareholder input including suggestions for adjustments to our executive compensation program, a request for a better articulated business case for the CEO special award, and a few disclosure enhancements. As a result of this feedback, and with input from the Committee's new independent compensation consulting firm, we revised our proxy statement disclosure to address these matters (see table of “What We Heard” and “Our Response” on page 42) starting with additional disclosure on the Committee’s rationale for granting the CEO special award on page 39. Below is a summary of some of the key points:

William Donnelly
Lead Director

Kirk Arnold
Chair of the
Compensation Committee

Our performance under the leadership of our CEO, Vicente Reynal, has been extraordinary.
We believe that he is best in class and early in his career trajectory. If we needed to recruit a replacement from outside of the Company, it could be very expensive and highly disruptive; i.e., resulting in a buyout of unvested cash and equity incentives, retention risk of other executives, likely changes in strategy or operations by a new CEO, among other factors.
Ingersoll Rand.  38  2024 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

It was emphasized by shareholders that we needed to lock in our CEO for the foreseeable future, especially considering the current labor market for talented CEOs. At the time of the grant, the Committee believed that his estimated future unvested stock value was of insufficient retention power. This situation arose due to several factors including our transition from a private equity controlled company and the Merger. We concluded that we needed an equity grant that was aligned with shareholder value creation by being retentive, performance-based and highly motivational. We believe that we accomplished that via the design of the 2022 grant.
We explicitly set very aggressive 5-year adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth goals that were at or above analysts’ future expectations. If the maximum performance level of 15% adjusted EPS CAGR were achieved over the 5 years, this could result in an approximate market capitalization of $42.5 billion. At a threshold value of 10% CAGR and no interpolation between performance levels, a CAGR of 9.9%, which is above the historical S&P 500 average EPS growth, and a stock price below $81.85 (relative to the grant date price of $46.45) would lead to complete forfeiture of all one million PSUs. This “double-digit” threshold was important to the Committee because of the Company’s publicly disclosed objective of being a double-digit compounder, which has been very well received by the investor community. Since the September 2022 grant, the Company has continued to have very strong operating and stock price results that, if sustained over the next several years, are forecasted to create enormous shareholder value as well as substantial reward for the CEO.
The 2022 grant, combined with our strong stock price appreciation, has substantially improved the Company’s retention and motivational power and significantly raised the cost of another company hiring Mr. Reynal, as he now has substantial vested and unvested equity, thereby achieving the intended effect. We are pleased to announce that as of the date of this proxy statement filing, we have surpassed the very challenging total shareholder return (“TSR”) PSU 60-day stock price performance threshold of $81.85 that was set on September 1, 2022. This has yielded a significant increase in our market capitalization and, given that the award does not vest if Mr. Reynal voluntarily leaves the Company without Good Reason prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date, the grant continues to provide a significant retention incentive.
In summary, the Committee deliberately set very challenging, double-digit EPS and stock price growth goals. During the first two years following the grant, we have exceeded these targets, resulting in industry-leading stock price performance. The Committee views this as confirmation of a successful pay for performance design in light of the challenging nature of the goals.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the shareholders with whom we spoke for their insights and support, and we look forward to continuing our open dialogue. We hope that after reviewing the following materials, you will vote in favor of our Executive Compensation Program at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Sincerely,

William Donnelly, Lead Director

Kirk Arnold, Chair of the Compensation Committee
ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE ON THE COMMITTEE’S RATIONALE FOR GRANTING THE 2022 PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARD TO VICENTE REYNAL
As previously disclosed in the 2023 proxy statement, the Committee and the Board thought it was essential to lock in our CEO, Vicente Reynal, with a new 5-year employment agreement that includes grants of performance-based stock units (“PSUs”) and performance-granted stock options. Given the outstanding Company results under the leadership of our CEO, the Committee felt it was critical to retain and motivate Mr. Reynal to continue the trajectory of significant shareholder value creation. At the time of its decision, the Committee believed that it was likely that Mr. Reynal could be recruited away and that his then-current unvested equity value (i.e., prior to the grant of the special performance award) was replaceable by another company.
Two years into the performance period, we have already made significant progress as a company and for our shareholders.
Considerations around and Terms of the Special Performance Award
The Board was encouraged by shareholders to ensure retention of our CEO given the robust CEO labor market, in the context of:
Maintaining strong recent performance through substantial stock grants that are aligned with the Company’s strong ownership culture
Setting very challenging goals that are motivational and demonstrative of shareholder alignment
Ingersoll Rand.  39  2024 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Concern regarding unvested equity for our CEO and his total equity ownership
Avoiding significant costs and disruption related to the hiring of an external CEO if Mr. Reynal were to leave
Concern over high CEO voluntary turnover among S&P 500 companies
Under the terms of the award, Mr. Reynal was granted one million PSUs, with 75% vesting based on adjusted EPS growth and 25% vesting based on an absolute stock price goal (which stock price goal was achieved on March 6, 2024). The terms of the award also included the potential for the CEO to be granted 100,000 stock options annually during the five-year period, only if adjusted EPS growth of 12% was achieved each year during the five-year period, 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. This last item was specifically designed by the Committee to provide retention value beyond the 5-year term of the contract for up to an additional 5 years.
In setting the adjusted EPS and stock price goals for the five-year period from 2022 through 2026, the Committee considered the following:
The ability for the Company to sustain the performance realized since 2020, understanding that the strong performance over the past several years would make achieving ongoing industry-leading performance more challenging
The potential impact of achieving these goals on market capitalization and TSR, and the resulting wealth creation for shareholders
The specific goals for the PSU grants were stock price and adjusted EPS growth over the five-year period from 2022-2026:
The 5-year adjusted EPS growth goals were set at a threshold, target and maximum level of 10%, 12%, and 15%, respectively, above 2021 adjusted EPS, which was a strong performance year. Historical and forecasted EPS and peer analysis demonstrated that these growth goals were very challenging, especially given the already strong results of IR since creation.
The payout scale does not allow interpolation between goals, which is not a typical design feature as it significantly increases the possibility of missing those thresholds with zero reward. The Committee deliberately chose this more shareholder friendly design element.
At target performance, analysis yields a forecasted stock price of ~$92, which would yield an approximate market capitalization of $37 billion, an increase of ~$18.5 billion since the grant date stock price of $46.45

This is on top of the ~$8 billion increase to market capitalization from the time of the Merger to grant date, reinforcing the challenging nature of the 5-year goals
The 5-year stock price goal for the TSR portion of the award is $81.85, which represents 76% growth in comparison to the grant date price of $46.45.
Based upon these estimates, the one million PSUs awarded in September 2022 could be worth $105 million if performance goals are met—which is 0.33% of the increase in market capitalization since the Merger and 0.25% of total market capitalization.
Since the grant was made in 2022, Ingersoll Rand’s stock price has increased ~66% through December 31, 2023, and TSR performance relative to proxy peers, the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 Industrials through year-end 2023 has been industry-leading:

As mentioned above, we are pleased to announce that as of the date of this proxy statement, we have surpassed the very challenging 60-day stock price goal of $81.85 that was set on September 1, 2022 for the TSR PSUs. This has yielded a very large increase in our market capitalization. The TSR PSUs are still subject to the 5-year cliff time-vesting and therefore remain extremely retentive. In addition, the conditions of the vast majority of Mr. Reynal’s 2022 performance-based equity award require satisfaction of challenging adjusted EPS performance hurdles.

STOCKHOLDER OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT; “SAY ON PAY” RESULT
Ingersoll Rand values our stockholders’ perspectives, and each year proactively interacts with investors through numerous engagement activities. In 2023, these included our annual stockholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and various investor conferences and meetings.
Management also proactively engaged directly with our top 97 stockholders with actively managed funds, representing approximately 80% of our shareholders with actively managed funds and 58% of our total shareholder base. These engagements were through quarterly business updates, non-deal roadshows and investor meetings, and resulted in over 1,036 individual investor touchpoints where we were able to communicate Company strategy and long-term objectives and receive feedback from our shareholders.
During 2023, our Lead Director, Committee Chair and senior management conducted targeted outreach in the spring to discuss shareholder views on our executive compensation program, including the special grant to our CEO discussed above, in advance of the voting on our say on pay proposal at our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.
This outreach is described below in further detail.

At the Company’s 2023 annual meeting, we received 59% support for our “Say-on-Pay” proposal. We wanted to increase shareholder support for our program and felt that to meet that objective, it was critical to continue to engage with our shareholders even after the strong support we received during our Spring outreach. To this end, in early 2024, our Lead Director, Committee chair and certain members of management conducted additional outreach with our shareholders to discuss their views on business strategy and how the executive compensation program continues to support the strategy and provide strong motivation to retain our executive team as well as to gain additional perspective on the 2023 Say-on-Pay outcome.

We appreciate our shareholders taking the time to provide us with their insights.
The key themes and actions taken in response to shareholder and proxy advisor views are summarized below:
What We HeardOur Response
Provide more rationale behind 2022 large one-time grant of performance-based stock units and options to the CEO

We have provided extensive detail in this proxy statement around the business reasons for the grant and the Committee’s views around how it was determined. (see page 39)
Confirm that the special grant to the CEO was a one-time event and that further grants of this magnitude are not expected in the near term

The Committee did not make any outsized grants to its current named executive officers (NEOs) in 2023, including the CEO.
The 2022 CEO grant was designed as a special, long term award and provides for vesting and retention power for our CEO over a 10-year period.
The Committee does not intend to make additional outsized grants to the CEO during fiscal year 2024 or in the near term. Of course, if special circumstances arise that are not addressable via the ongoing executive compensation program, the Committee may reevaluate this position.
Avoid the use of upward discretion under the incentive plans

​The Committee did not apply holistic adjustments outside of the formulaic result under any incentive plans that impacted our executive officers in 2023.
Consider a review of the incentive plans to determine if they include the appropriate metrics, e.g., a capital return metric

The Board believes a capital return objective is not needed at this time given the Board closely monitors return on invested capital in a number of ways, including oversight of the Company’s M&A activities. We are committed to constantly evaluating compensation program design to ensure it is well aligned with the Company’s strategy and shareholder value creation.
Refresh the annual proxy statement to provide more clear and easy to read disclosure

In addition to receiving support from its compensation consultant and legal counsel, the Company engaged with a creative consultant to revamp the proxy content and refresh the design of the proxy statement.
Provide more specific disclosure around the goals under the Management Incentive Plan

We have included an additional section in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis regarding the specific goals and payout levels for NEOs at each level of performance.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Committee’s overarching objective is to utilize the executive compensation program to motivate, retain, develop and recruit the Company’s executive talent. This objective has yielded industry-leading products and services and has created superior financial and stock price performance for shareholders. This is in addition to satisfying all of our stakeholders—employees, customers and communities.
2023 Business Highlights
2023 was another highly successful year in a series of years since the Merger. A few key highlights include:


Our 2023 performance was led by the hard work and dedication of our more than 18,000 employees, whose ownership mindset drives the innovative thinking that moves our company forward. In addition, our competitive differentiator, Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX), is the engine of our company and our way of Making Life Better.
We also created tangible value for stockholders that goes beyond these financial highlights. The following are significant accomplishments we achieved across each of our five strategic imperatives:

Executive Summary
Business Highlights
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company had a truly transformational year in 2020 and the management team delivered on its primary goal of creating long-term value 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 close of the Merger (March 2, 2020 - March 2, 2021), achieved total shareholder return performance of 42.7%, which was 69% greater than the total shareholder return of the S&P 500 during the same time period of 25.2%
Achieved annualized Merger integration cost synergies of ~$175 million1
In the course of less than a year, increased the overall three-year Merger related cost synergy target by 20% from the originally announced $250 million target to $300 million2
Expanded full year Adjusted EBTIDA margins (despite lower year-over-year revenue due primarily to COVID-19) through prudent cost controls and efficiency enhancements driven by applying Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) processes
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
1
Includes 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.
2
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.

Continued the optimization of the Company’s portfolio of businesses through a number of highly accretive acquisitions including Albin Pump SAS and the Tuthill Vacuum and Blower Systems division of Tuthill Corporation
Announced an agreement to sell a majority interest in the Company’s High Pressure Solutions segment, which is expected to reduce the Company’s direct exposure to 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 nature of the Merger and the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, there were several one-time, non-recurring compensation actions taken in 2020. In addition, in connection with 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 participants in the two years leading up to the cliff vesting of the inaugural Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) award. Because these impacts are extraordinary and driven 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:
Executive Officer and Board of Directors Compensation Reductions: In an effort to preserve cash in the interest of the long-term health and sustainability of the Company during the COVID-19 downturn, 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.
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. The bonuses were intended to serve as both reward for the efforts to bring about the Merger and associated initial synergy targets and motivation to maintain focus on the post-Merger integration and synergy obtainment, which resulted in the 20% increase in the cost synergy target as described above. These amounts were approved by the Committee in connection with the consummation of the Merger, 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
30

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in our “Summary Compensation Table”. These relocation costs were solely the result of the Merger and were a one-time expense designed to retain our top talent in light of the fact that relocating themselves and their families to Davidson, NC was a condition of continued employment. All relocation assistance was part of our standard relocation benefits offered to executives generally when relocating. Going forward, we expect perquisites to continue to be limited as they have been in the past. In addition, in September 2019, in connection with the pending Merger, we entered into retention and relocation bonus arrangements with certain non-executive officer key employees to induce them to stay with the Company and relocate to the Charlotte, NC area. This relocation bonus program included Mr. Kini, who at the time was not an executive officer and resulted in a payment of a portion of such bonus to Mr. Kini during 2020. For more information see “2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail – One-Time Merger-Related Retention and Relocation Bonus – Mr. Kini”.
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
We value our stockholders’ perspectives on our business and each year proactively interact with investors through numerous engagement activities. In 2020, these included our annual stockholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and various investor conferences and meetings. Throughout 2020, management proactively engaged directly with our top 20 stockholders (with actively managed funds) through quarterly business updates, non-deal roadshows and investor conferences resulting in over 80 individual investor touchpoints with these stockholders to communicate Company strategy and provide updates on business performance.
At the Company’s annual meeting in May 2018, we received substantial 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 was consistent with the positive feedback we received in discussions with our stockholders throughout the year. Based on the positive feedback we received from our major stockholders, in addition to the vote result in 2018, we did not make substantive changes in 2019 to our compensation philosophy or the overall structure of our program. In 2020, to align with the transformational nature of the Company’s merger and better align executive compensation with long-term stockholder value creation, the Committee introduced annual grants of PSUs to our executive compensation program. These grants comprise 50% of the total long-term incentive (“LTI”) opportunity for each executive officer and are based on relative

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.WHAT GUIDES OUR PROGRAM

Pay for Performance
Ensure that a significant portion of an executive’s total compensation is variable (“at risk”) and dependent upon the attainment of certain specific and measurable business performance objectives.
Compensation Elements
Our compensation philosophy is supported bytargeted to award executives appropriately for individual and Company performance. The Committee places more emphasis on pay that is performance-based and “at-risk,” generally considering that cash compensation should be at or below the following principalmedian and pay elements:mix should be more heavily weighted toward long-term incentives so as to ensure retention and alignment with shareholders and enforce the ownership culture that has been a critical component of the Company’s success.

Mr. Miñarro Viseras is based in Europe and compensated in Euros. His 2022 base salary was approved by the Committee at a rate of $505,000 USD per year and was translated to €439,470 EUR at the 5-year average exchange rate as of December 31, 2021. His 2023 base salary was approved by the Committee at a rate of $540,000 USD per year and was translated to €476,820 EUR at the 5-year average exchange rate as of December 31, 2022. The percent increase for Mr. Miñarro Viseras reflects the calculation in local currencies to mute the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. In connection with Mr. Miñarro Viseras’ departure from the Company on September 8, 2023, his rights to a 2023 MIP payout and all outstanding unvested equity grants were forfeited.
Rationale 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:Base Salary Increases

The Committee does not rely solely on data from the Peer Group in establishingIn assessing potential adjustments to compensation levels and practices as highlighted above. However, given the Company’s focus on delivering long-term value creation for our stockholders,its NEOs, 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.

Base Salary
Base salary is the only fixed component of NEO cash compensation. An NEO’s base salary is related tocommensurate with the individual’s level of responsibility and provides them with a level of predictable and stable cash income predictability and stability with respect to a portion of their total compensation.income. 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 versusover fixed cash compensation, the Committee generally established 20202023 base salary rates at or below the median of Peer Group salary levels. In additionFor certain executives, such as our CFO, year-over-year increases were higher in order to the impact of the Merger on scope of responsibility, Mr. Kini’s year-over-year salary increase primarily reflects the significant expansion in his responsibilities in connection with his promotion from Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis and Investor Relationsprovide a “glidepath” to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective June 15, 2020.
The Committee viewed 2020 as an extraordinary year in which it was necessaryget closer 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 withmedian over 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:

MIP Design Change
For the year 2023, we made two changes to our MIP performance metrics. First, for our corporate NEOs, we moved from Adjusted EBITDA11 as a metric (75% of accountability and line-of-sight,total MIP opportunity for corporate managers) to adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”). Adjusted EBITDA remained the performance measures vary depending uponearnings metric for non-corporate NEOs. Second, the role and responsibilityNet Working Capital Percent of Revenue12 metric (25% of the NEO. total previous MIP opportunity for all NEOs) was replaced with Free Cash Flow for corporate NEOs and “Business Operating Cash Flow” for our non-corporate NEOs. “Business Operating Cash Flow” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less change in Net Working Capital less Capex.
The Committee chose Adjusted EPS as it believes it is a more indicative measure of the overall earnings performance of the Company than Adjusted EBITDA since Adjusted EPS includes the impacts of interest and taxes as well as capital allocation decisions. In addition, Adjusted EPS is a critical component of the CEO special performance award, creating stronger alignment across the executive team. Free Cash Flow was chosen as a better measure of the economic performance of the Company compared to Net Working Capital Percent of Revenue since the Committee believes it provides a more holistic view of the cash flow performance of the Company. The Committee determined that an incentive design with a focus on these metrics was appropriate because it provides a reliable indicator of both our strategic growth and the strength of our overall earnings and cash flow results, while rewarding managers appropriately for their respective functions, geographies and lines of business.
2023 Performance Measures
For 2020,2023, 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.performance. Mr. Miñarro Viseras’Gillespie’s annual cash bonus award was based in part on the achievement of the 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,Americas to reflect his leadership of the Industrials EMEIAITS Americas business unit in 2023 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Historically,The Committee did not apply any adjustments to the Committee approved performance metrics and goalscalculated results for executive officers under 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 the2023.
The actual calculated 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 targetspayout 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 haveNEOs resulted in above targeta formulaic payout factor of 200% of target.

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.

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.the Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (our(as amended by the First Amendment, dated April 27, 2021, the “2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan”), are intended to drive executives to deliver strong stock performance, align our executives’ experiencecompensation with long-term stockholder value creation, and to attract and retain highly-qualifiedhighly qualified executives.

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)

 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 will beis capped at 100%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, andpercentage. 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, 2020,2023, comprised the S&P 500.500 Industrials.113

Target annual equity award values were determined based on our competitive market analysis and our compensation philosophy, which targets award levels above the market median. 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.

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, whichguidance.

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 andCEO Performance-Conditioned Stock Options which vestedEarned in equal, annual increments over a four-year period. Respect of 2022 Performance and Granted in 2023
As a consequencenoted above, an important part of our effortsMr. Reynal’s Performance-Based Award approved by the Committee in 2022 was an agreement 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 withgrant Mr. Reynal stock options 75%to purchase 100,000 shares for each fiscal year from 2022 through 2026 in which the Company achieves adjusted EPS (as defined in the Performance-Based Award) growth of annual equity value is delivered in instruments directly tied to increasing stockholder valuemore than 12% 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.prior year.
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.

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 thatFor fiscal year 2022, the Company achieved adjusted EPS growth of nearly 13% over 2021. As a result, in February 2023, the Committee certified that the first tranche of the CEO’s performance-conditioned stock options had been earned, and Mr. Reynal was awarded stock options to purchase 100,000 shares.
Although the commitment to grant these options was contained in the 2022 Performance Based Award, since these options were legally granted in 2023, they are required to be treated as 2023 compensation in the Summary Compensation Table. However, the Committee views this grant of 100,000 options as an integral part of the overall terms of the 2022 Performance Based Award and does not view them as part of Mr. Reynal’s annual adjusted EBITDA2023 compensation.
These options do not vest until the fifth anniversary of the grant date and will be forfeited if Mr. Reynal resigns before such date, and as such, provide a significant retention incentive.
CEO Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award
Background
As previously disclosed, in September 2022, the Committee approved the grant of a Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award (the “Performance-Based Award”) to Vicente Reynal, CEO and Chairman of the Board, under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan”. The Committee also approved, effective as of September 1, 2022, a new employment agreement with Mr. Reynal (the “Employment Agreement”).
Rationale
The 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 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 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 ten years. The Committee deliberately set very challenging, double-digit Adjusted EPS and stock price growth goals. During the first two years following the grant, we have exceeded these targets, resulting in industry-leading stock price performance. The Committee views this as confirmation of the challenging nature of the goals.

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. The TSR Target Price was achieved on March 6, 2024.
(ii)  Stock Options will 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.  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.  If the Adjusted EPS goal is not achieved, no stock options would be granted for that fiscal year under this component of the award.
a.  Adjusted EPS PSUs: 75% of the PSUs (750,000 PSUs) are eligible to vest at the end of the 5-year period 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

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. The
TSR Target Price was achieved on March 6, 2024.

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.

For fiscal year 2023, the Company achieved adjusted EPS growth of nearly 20% over 2022, significantly more than the 12% growth needed to satisfy the performance condition. As a result, in February 2024 the Committee certified that the second tranche of the CEO’s performance-conditioned stock options had been earned, and on February 27, 2024, Mr. Reynal was awarded stock options to purchase 100,000 shares. These options do not vest until the fifth anniversary of the grant date and will be forfeited if Mr. Reynal resigns before interest, taxes, depreciationsuch date, and amortization plus transaction,as such, provide a significant retention incentive.
The Decision-Making Process
The Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The Committee works closely with its independent consultant and management and/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 Compensation 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 similar fees paidher own compensation.
The Role of the Independent Consultant. Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”), a compensation consulting firm, served as the Committee's independent compensation consultant from mid-2016 through December 2023. The Committee utilized Pearl Meyer to KKR and/orassist 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 2024, the Committee determined that Pearl Meyer was independent from management and that Pearl Meyer’s work had not raised any conflicts of interest. Pearl Meyer reported

directly to the Committee and the Committee had the sole authority to approve Pearl Meyer’s compensation and to terminate the relationship at any time.
During 2023, the Committee directed Pearl Meyer to provide its affiliates)expertise and analysis on a variety of topics, including the compensation peer group review, a competitive market assessment for executive and non-employee director compensation levels, a review of governance matters pertaining to executive and employee compensation and the structure of short- and long-term incentive programs.
In the fall of 2023, the Committee initiated a request for proposal for a new independent compensation consultant, and appointed Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”) to serve as the independent compensation consultant effective November 2023 instead of Pearl Meyer. The Committee would like to acknowledge Pearl Meyer for its many years of dedicated service and advice.
In April 2024, the Committee determined that Pay Governance was independent from management and that Pay Governance’s work had not raised any conflicts of interest. Pay Governance reported directly to the Committee and the Committee had the sole authority to approve Pay Governance’s compensation and to terminate the relationship at any time. From commencement of appointment of Pay Governance, the Committee directed Pay Governance to provide its expertise and analysis on a variety of topics, including a review of governance matters pertaining to executive and employee compensation and the structure of short- and long-term incentive programs.
Compensation Peer Group. The Committee believes it is important to understand current trends in compensation practices and pay levels for companies that are comparable to Ingersoll Rand. To assist the Committee in this analysis, the Committee, together with its independent consultant and input from management, develops a compensation Peer Group of comparable companies against which it performs benchmarking (the “Peer Group”). The fiscal 2020 adjusted EBITDA performance target was $630 million and our adjusted EBITDA performance for fiscal 2020 was $1.078 billion. Therefore,Committee reviews the portionappropriateness of the Performance Options held byPeer Group on an annual basis to determine if changes are required. When considering companies for inclusion in the Peer Group, the Committee receives data from its compensation consultant. Companies chosen for inclusion 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 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, for 2023, the Committee determined that no changes were required and that the current 12-company peer group remained appropriate.
The 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 Committee generally targets cash compensation of the NEOs that was eligible to vestat or below the median of the Peer Group and long-term equity incentive compensation greater than the median of the Peer Group. Additionally, the Committee may also consider survey compensation data based on companies of similar size to Ingersoll Rand.
In 2023, during its annual review of the Company’s fiscal 2020 adjusted EBITDA performance vested.Peer Group, the Committee, using the criteria highlighted above, approved the following 12-company Peer Group for 2024 compensation decisions:

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 implementedhave maintained market-leading stock ownership guidelines (the “Guidelines”) in 2017, the year we completedsince our initial public offering.offering in 2017. The Covered Executives and non-employee directors are required to hold a specific level of equity ownership as outlined below. The guidelines are benchmarked periodically to ensure they remain market competitive and consistent with best practice.
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 1stof the year, are as follows:
Tier
Covered Executives
Multiple of Salary
Tier One
Chief Executive Officer
10x Salary
Tier Two
Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel
5x Salary
Tier Three
P&L and Corporate Leaders
3x Salary
Retention Requirement: There is no required time period within which a Covered Executive must attain the applicable stock ownership level under the Guidelines. However, until the applicable ownership level is achieved, Covered Executives must retain 75% of net shares granted to them. Once the ownership guideline is met, Covered Executives must retain 30% of net shares granted to them; however, thisthem. This requirement drops to 20% for a Covered Executive upon the earlier of a (1) such Covered Executive reaching the age of 55 and (2) such covered executive achieving 10 years of service with the Company andCompany. The requirement terminates upon the earlier of (1) such Covered Executive reaching the age of 60 and (2) such covered executive achieving 15 years of service with the Company.
The shares counted toward these ownership requirements 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, 2021,2024, 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 levelsrequirements 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.

Hedging and Pledging Policies
For a description of the Company’s anti-hedging and pledging policy applicable to directors, officers and employees, see “The Board of Directors and Certain Governance Matters—Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy.”
Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy
We have adopted a clawback policy for incentive compensation.compensation, which we modified in October 2023 to reflect the requirements of the NYSE. The Committee determined thatbelieves it may beis 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 duethen, subject 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, thenlimited exceptions, the Committee will determine, in its discretion, whether to seekmust reasonably promptly take steps to recover or cancel any overpayment of incentivesuch erroneously awarded compensation paid or awardedthat was received during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare thesuch restatement. In addition, our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan and equity agreements contain provisions relating to incentive compensation recoupment.
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 Inc. 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 contributioncontribute up to 100%85% of their annual eligible compensation (either through pre-tax or Roth contributions), subject to annual IRS and plan limitations.
Supplemental Excess Defined Contribution Plan
In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary gradeband of 208 or higher (generally senior managersdirectors and above), including the NEOs other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, are eligible to participate in the Ingersoll Rand Inc. Supplemental Excess Defined Contribution Plan (the “Excess“Supplemental Contribution Plan”), which is funded through a Rabbi Trust. This ExcessSupplemental 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 ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan when they exceed (i) the annual IRS pre-tax/Roth contribution limits 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.Plan. Under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a participant’s eligible salary contributions to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan.Plan that are made on compensation not eligible to be matched in the 401(k) plan. Company matching contributions under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan are contributed to the Rabbi Trust in the form of cash rather than our common stock.cash. 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. TheseFor instance, beginning in 2021, certain of our senior executives, including each of the NEOs, are typicallyeligible 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 the offer letters or employment agreements we enter into with our executive officers. SeeThese arrangements are discussed under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2020—2023—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.” For example, in 20202023, per histheir respective employment agreement,agreements, Mr. Reynal was entitled to limited personal use of Company-leased aircraft, and Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to international school assistance and use of a company car.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 (as defined in “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control-Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants” below) from the Company“cause” or a termination by the NEO for Good Reason“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 2020―2023—Terms of Equity Awards.”
In April 2020, Messrs. Reynal and Schiesl proactively recommended to the Board that their respective offer letters should be amended to align their severance terms with those of Ms. Weaver and Mr. Weatherred, and to be more in keeping with the Company’s compensation philosophy. Specifically, they recommended and agreed to reduce the amount of severance to which each of them is entitled in the event of a qualifying termination from (a) an amount equal to the sum of (x) his annual base salary and (y) the annual incentive award under the MIP, if any, earned in respect of our fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs to (b) an amount equal to his annual base salary.
Risk Management and Mitigation of Compensation Policies and Practices
The Committee has reviewed our incentive compensation programs, discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program, considered various mitigating factors, and reviewed these items with its independent consultant, Pearl Meyer.Pay Governance. In addition, ourthe Committee asked Pearl MeyerPay Governance to conduct an independent risk assessment of our executive and other compensation program.programs in 2024. Based on these reviews 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 andAs previously noted, we entered into a new employment agreement with himMr. Reynal in October 2018 in connection with our competitive review of executive officer compensation. In addition, weSeptember 2022, which replaced his prior offer letter. 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.Weatherred at the time of their initial employment. We also entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras in 2018, which was replaced by a new employment agreement, effective April 3, 2023. Full descriptions of the material terms of thethese offer letters and employment agreements, we entered into with Mr. Miñarro Viseras and the offer letters we entered into with Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl, and Weatherred are presented below in “―see “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2020.”
Transition Agreement - Ms. Weaver
In June 2020, in connection with her separation from the Company, to secure her provision of transitional services to the Company and to induce her to enter into a release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company, we entered into a transition agreement with Ms. Weaver. See “―Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2020” and “―Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control.2023.

From Mr. Kini’s appointment to that position on June 15, 2020, until the Termination Date (the “Transition Period”), Ms. Weaver served as an advisor to Mr. Kini, received her base salary at the rate of $575,000 per year, and participated in the Company’s employee benefit plans.
When Ms. Weaver’s employment terminated, she was entitled to receive (subject to her execution of a second release and compliance with the restrictive covenants and other obligations in the Transition Agreement): (a) a cash severance payment of $575,000, payable in bi-monthly installments over the one-year period after the Termination Date; (b) subject to her election to receive continued group health plan coverage under COBRA, continued coverage at active-employee rates for up to 18 months after the Termination Date; (c) executive outplacement services for up to 12 months after the Termination Date; (d) reimbursement of up to $50,000 for certain moving expenses if she relocates outside of the Charlotte, North Carolina metropolitan area by no later than December 31, 2022 (reduced by relocation benefits or expense reimbursements from a subsequent employer); (e) continued vesting of outstanding option and time-vesting RSU awards as if she had remained an employee of the Company through (I) the final vesting date, for the options and RSUs granted on December 4, 2019 (the “New Hire Grants”), and (II) the next two scheduled vesting dates for options and RSUs granted on March 6, 2020 (the “2020 Grants”); (f) the ability to exercise vested options until one year after the final tranche of a given grant vests as described in the forgoing sub clause (e); and (g) reimbursement of up to $10,000 of legal fees in connection with negotiating the Transition Agreement. These payments are discussed below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control.”

Represents the total number of PSUs earned under the 2021-2023 Performance Plan for the three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023, which vested on February 13, 2024.

Reflects PSUs that will vest, if at all, based on the Company’s achievement of the Relative TSR performance measure over the performance period beginning on January 1, 20202022 and ending on December 31, 2022.2024. As of December 31, 2020,2023, the achievement level with respect to Relative TSR was between target and maximum. Accordingly, the number of PSUs reported in the table reflects the amount that would be earned for maximum performance. The actual number of shares that will vest with respect to the PSUs is not yet determinable.
7.
Reflects PSUs that will vest, if at all, based on the Company’s achievement of certain adjusted EPS growth goals over the performance period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2026.

These PSUs were granted to Mr. Reynal as part of the one-time Performance-Based Award that vest only upon meeting certain performance criteria and Mr. Reynal remaining with the Company long-term. As described more fully in “Executive Summary - Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award & New CEO Employment Agreement,” the Performance-Based-Award is a one-time extraordinary award for Mr. Reynal designed by the Compensation Committee 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 five to ten years from grant date. The share price performance goal was achieved on March 6, 2024, but the PSUs will not vest until September 1, 2027, generally subject to Mr. Reynal’s continued employment through such date, and as such, provide a significant retention incentive. See “Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards in the Event of Termination of Employment or Change in Control” below for information regarding the treatment of the PSUs upon Mr. Reynal’s death, disability or Qualifying Termination.
9.
Reflects PSUs that will vest, if at all, based on the Company’s achievement of the Relative TSR performance measure over the performance period beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2023, the achievement level with respect to Relative TSR was between threshold and target. Accordingly, the number of PSUs reported in the table reflects the amount that would be earned for target performance. The actual number of shares that will vest with respect to the PSUs is not yet determinable.
10.
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 23, 2028.

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 (upof compensation not eligible to be matched in the 401(k) plan, but is eligible to be contributed to the Supplemental Contribution Plan, up to the first 6% of a participant’s annual eligible compensation), less any matching contribution made to the 401(k) plan.such compensation. 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The investment options available to participants, including the NEOs, under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan are similar to those offered to all of the participants in the 401(k) plan. Because some specific investment options available under the 401(k) plan are not available under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan, the Company has made similar investment options available to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan participants. Our stock is not a permitted investment option under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan. The table below shows the funds available under the Excess Contribution Plan and their annual rate of return for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020, as reported by the administrator of the plan.

See “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2020 — Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements — Transition Agreement with Ms. Weaver,” which description is incorporated herein by reference.
Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants
We entered into offer letters with each of our NEOs, other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, that contain severance terms. In February 2018, we amendedUnder the terms of Mr. Miñarro Viseras’Reynal’s employment agreement, to increase his termination benefits,Messrs. Schiesl’s and in October 2018 we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras (which also includes such increase in termination benefits). His new employment agreement requires that we provide twelve months’ notice in the event of his termination, with the option to terminate him immediately with a lump sum payment of twelve months’ salary.
Messrs. Reynal and Schiesl
Under the terms of theirWeatherred’s offer letters, and the severance terms applicable to Mr. Kini, if the Company terminates either of Messrs. Reynal’s or Schiesl’stheir employment without Cause“cause” or any of them terminates their employment for “good reason” (as such terms are defined below)in the applicable employment agreement or either of Messrs. Reynal or Schiesl terminates his employment with us for Good Reason (as defined below)severance terms), subject in Mr. Reynal’s case to his continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in his management equity agreements, in Mr. Schiesl’s case to certain provisions in the Severance Plan,conditions and in either case to the NEO’s execution of a customary waiver and release agreement, heon-going commitments, they will be entitled to receive:
Continued payment over a 12-month period (the “Severance Period”) of the sum of (x) histheir then-current annual base salary, and (y) the annual incentive award under the MIP, if any, earned in respect of our fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs, payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the Severance Period; and
Continued group health coverage (on the same basis as actively employed employees of the Company), subject to the NEO’s electing to receive benefits under COBRA, for 12 months following the date his employment terminates (or, if earlier, through the date the NEO becomes employed by another employer and eligible for health insurance coverage at such employer).
In April 2020, Messrs. Reynal and Schiesl proactively recommended to the Board that their respective offer letters should be amended to align their severance terms with those of the other Named Executive Officers, and to be more in keeping with the Company’s compensation philosophy. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis―Other Compensation Practices and Policies that Align Our NEOs to Our Stockholders―Severance and Change in Control Agreements.”
Messrs. Kini and Weatherred
Under the terms of Mr. Weatherred's offer letter and severance terms applicable to Mr. Kini, if the Company terminates their employment without cause or they resign for good reason, then, subject to their continued compliance with restrictive covenants and execution of a customary release, they will be entitled to receive:
continued payment of their then-current annual base salary for a 12-month period; and
subject to their electing to receive benefits under COBRA, continued coverage under the Company’s group health plans at active-employee rates for up to 12 months after her termination date.
In addition to the payments described above, each of our NEOs is entitled to receive a distribution of all vested amounts under our ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan. See “―“—Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Fiscal 2020.2023.
For purposes of each of the severance arrangements described above:
“Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following with respect to an NEO: (1) a material breach by the NEO of the terms of the Company’s policies, the terms of which have previously been provided to such NEO; (2) any act of theft, misappropriation, embezzlement, fraud or similar conduct by the NEO involving the Company or any of its affiliates; (3) the NEO’s failure to act in accordance with any specific lawful instructions given to the NEO by the board of directors (or any committee thereof) in connection with the performance of the NEO’s duties for the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, which continues beyond ten (10) business days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the NEO by the Company (the “Cure
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.”

The Time Option and Performance Option awards we granted to our NEOs prior to our initial public offering as well as theoutstanding RSU and option awards we have granted to our NEOs since 2018 provide for accelerated vesting in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment as described below and/or, in certain circumstances described below, in connection with a change in control.
Annual Equity awards granted prior to our initial public offeringAwards
Effect of Change in Control on Vesting of Options. Immediately prior to any Change in Control (as defined below), any unvested portion of the Time Options shall vest and become immediately exercisable as to 100% of such Time Options. In addition, immediately prior to any Change in Control, the Performance Options shall vest and become immediately exercisable as to 100% of such Performance Options but only if, and to the extent that, as of such Change in Control, KKR achieves (x) a Sponsor IRR (as defined below) of 22.5% and (y) a Sponsor MOIC (as defined below) of 2.5x. No option will become exercisable as to any additional shares of the Company’s common stock following the termination of employment of an NEO for any reason and any option that is unexercisable as of the NEO’s termination of employment will immediately expire without payment.
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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Sponsor MOIC” means, as of a Change in Control, the result obtained by dividing (i) the cash consideration received by KKR (other than any Sponsor Fees) as of the Change in Control by (ii) the aggregate amount of cash invested in (and the initial gross asset value of any property (other than money) contributed to) the Company by KKR, directly or indirectly, from time to time in respect of such investment.
A “Change in Control” means, (i) in one or a series of related transactions, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person (or group of persons acting in concert), other than to (x) KKR or one or more of its controlled affiliates or (y) any employee benefit plan (or trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company or its controlled affiliates; or (ii) a merger, recapitalization, or other sale by the Company, KKR, or any of their respective affiliates, to a person (or group of persons acting in concert) of the Company’s common stock that results in more than 50% of the common stock of the Company (or any resulting company after a merger) being held by a person (or group of persons acting in concert) that does not include (x) KKR or its affiliates or (y) an employee benefit plan (or trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company or its controlled affiliates; and in any event of clause (i) or (ii), which results in KKR and its controlled affiliates or such employee benefit plan ceasing to hold the ability to elect a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors.
Expiration of Vested 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.
Equity awards granted since 2018
Effect of Qualifying Termination on Vesting of PSUs, RSUs, and Options.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

With respect to the PSUs, if a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, then the calculation of the number of PSUs that will vest is conducted as though (i) the last day of the Performance Period was the date of the Change in Control and (ii) the Company’s stock price at the end of the Performance Period was the price per share of the Company’s common stock payable in connection with such Change in Control. The number of PSUs resulting from such calculation will be the number that will vest upon the consummation of such Change in Control.
For purposes of the foregoing:
“Approved Retirement” means a “Approved Retirement, that occurs following” “Cause,” “Detrimental Activity,” and “Retirement” have the NEO’s receipt of written confirmation bydefinitions set forth in the Company that such Retirement will be designated as an “Approved Retirement” for purposes ofrelevant grant agreement or the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan.Plan, as applicable.

Effect of Qualifying Termination or Termination due to Death or Disability on Vesting of the NEO’s dutiesAdjusted EPS PSUs
Vesting of the Adjusted EPS PSUs is subject to Mr. Reynal’s continued employment through December 31, 2026; however, if he is terminated by the Company without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason (each, a “Qualifying Termination” and as defined in his employment agreement) or he dies or becomes permanently disabled, in each case, after the expiration of the EPS Performance Period and before the date on which the Committee certifies the level of performance achieved (the “EPS PSU Vesting Date”), he remains entitled to receive the number of Adjusted EPS PSUs that the Committee certifies has become vested.
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.
Effect of a Change in Control on Vesting of the Company GroupAdjusted EPS PSUs
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.

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 was not achieved until March 6, 2024, 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 29, 2023.
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 29, 2023 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 from the date of grant 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.
If the stock options are assumed by the successor to the Company, and Mr. Reynal is subsequently terminated due to death, disability or a Qualifying Termination, the stock options will become fully vested on the date of such termination.

Our directors wereare not paid any fees for attending meetings, however, our directors are reimbursed for reasonable travel and related expenses associated with attendance at Board or committee meetings.
In connection with his election toWe believe that an equity-focused compensation scheme for our Boarddirectors strengthens the alignment of Directors, Mr. Donnelly received the Donnelly Time Options, a grant of options under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan with a fair value of $400,000 and vesting and becoming exercisable in equal parts on December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018.

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’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’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’s service is terminated by the Company for Cause; or (5) pursuant to the repurchase rights in the Director Stockholder’s Agreement described below. In addition, at the discretion of the Company, options may be cancelled at the effective date of a merger, consolidation, or other transaction or capital change of the Company, in accordance with the terms of the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, in exchange for a payment (payable in cash or other consideration depending on the terms of the transaction) per share equal to the excess of (x) the per share consideration paid to stockholders of the Company in the transaction over (y) the exercise price of the option.
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 their option awards, each of Messrs. Donnelly, Kassling, Marn and Vande Steeg became party to a Director Stockholder’s Agreement.
Under the Director Stockholder’s Agreement, sharesinterests of our common stock beneficially owned by our directors are generally nontransferable prior to the earlier of (i) a Change in Control or (ii) the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the applicable Director Stockholder’s Agreement.
Our directors party to a Director Stockholder’s Agreement have limited “piggyback” registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock, provided that in lieu of piggyback rights where such rights would otherwise be available, our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive the transfer restrictions (other than any such restrictions contained in an underwriters’ lock-up or in connection with a public offering) on the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to such piggyback rights.
Pursuant to the terms of the Director Stockholder’s Agreement, the directors party to such agreement are subject to covenants not to (1) disclose confidential information, (2) solicit customers and certain employees, consultants and independent contractors of the Company, (3) compete with the Company and (4) disparage the Company.stockholders.

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 2020,2023, our last completed fiscal year:
The median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, excluding our CEO, was $53,770.$55,400.
The annual total compensation of our CEO was $12,141,175.$15,523,750.
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 226:280:1.
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 impact of the 100,000 performance-based stock options that were part of the terms of the 2022 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 $12,806,750.
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 171:231:1.
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, 2020,2023, our employee population consisted of 15,67718,521 individuals, including full time, part time, and temporary employees.
To identify our “median employee” from this employee population, we obtained annual base salary and target annual bonus information as of December 31, 20202023 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 2020.2023. 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 20202023 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.

Adjusted Diluted EPS is our “Company-Selected Measure” pursuant to Item 402(v). Amount presented for 2020 represents Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS. Adjusted Diluted EPS and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS are non-GAAP metrics. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS to Diluted EPS (2023, 2022 and 2021) and of Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS to Diluted EPS (2020), see Annex A to this Proxy Statement.
(b)
The following summarizes the valuation assumptions used for stock option awards included as part of Compensation Actually Paid:

Expected life of each stock option is based on the “simplified method” using an average of the remaining vest and remaining term, as of the vest/FYE date.

Strike price is based on each grant date closing price and asset price is based on each vest/FYE closing price.

Risk free rate is based on the Treasury Constant Maturity rate closest to the remaining expected life as of the vest/FYE date.

Historical volatility is based on daily price history for each expected life (years) prior to each vest/FYE date. Closing prices provided by S&P Capital IQ are adjusted for dividends and splits.

Represents annual dividend yield on each vest/FYE date.
(c)
CEO Compensation Actually Paid in 2022 would have been $2,943,070 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 the 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 overstates the actual compensation paid to Mr. Reynal in 2022.
(d)
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:
2023: Vikram Kini, Andrew Schiesl, Enrique Minarro-Viseras, Michael Weatherred, Gary Gillespie
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
Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Company Performance
As demonstrated in the table above, the Compensation Actually Paid values for our CEO and non-CEO NEOs are directionally aligned with our performance. The data demonstrates consistent year-over-year improvement for each of the financial performance measures displayed in the table (Net Income and Adjusted EPS) and for Company TSR (with the exception of Company TSR in 2022). In years where stock price has appreciated, Compensation Actually Paid exceeds the values reported in the Summary Compensation Table, whereas in the one reported year of stock price depreciation, Compensation Actually Paid is lower than the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table. The correlation would be even stronger if Mr. Reynal’s special one-time Performance-Based Award was not included in the Compensation Actually Paid calculation for 2022. For a discussion of the special circumstances of this award, see “Additional Disclosure on the Committee’s Rationale for 2022 Grants of Performance Stock Units and Performance Stock Options to Vicente Reynal” and “CEO Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award.” Over time, we expect that continued strong financial performance will positively influence Company TSR and increase Compensation Actually Paid, re-enforcing our commitment to pay-for-performance. 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; accordingly, we expect that the Compensation Actually Paid figures will generally move in tandem with Company TSR.
Additionally, in each of the years disclosed in the table, Company TSR directionally tracked the S&P 500 Industrials Total Return and outpaced the S&P 500 Industrials’ return over the same measurement period.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
ArrangementsTransactions with Our Executive Officers, Directors and Advisors
We have entered into letter agreements with certain members of management, including each of our executive officers, and our directors and certain advisors, pursuant to which such individuals agreed to invest in our stock and/or through the purchase of our shares with cash. In addition, 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.

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”)January 1, 2023, there were participating lendersno “related person transactions” requiring disclosure under our existing credit agreementsSEC rules 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.regulations.
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.

OTHER BUSINESSHouseholding 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. Additionally, 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.

A. Except as otherwise providedIn addition to historical information, this Proxy Statement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor provisions” of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Words such as “estimates,” “expects,” “contemplates,” “will,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “may,” “should,” and variations of Incorporationsuch words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections will result or be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) and this Article VI relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the totalforward-looking statements.
There are a number of directors shallrisks, uncertainties, and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others, the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as such factors may be determinedupdated from time to time exclusively 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 more 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 coincideour periodic filings with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease inSEC, which are available on the number of directors remove or shorten the term of any incumbent director.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Ingersoll Rand reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” “Adjusted Diluted EPS,” “Free Cash Flow,” “Free Cash Flow Margin,” and “Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS.”
Ingersoll Rand believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Board of DirectorsCompany’s operating results as they exclude certain items that resultsare unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from an increaseperiod to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the numberoperations of directorsIngersoll Rand’s business. Ingersoll Rand believes Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS is a helpful supplemental measure to assist management and any vacancy occurringinvestors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as it provides supplemental information about the Company’s financial performance for 2020 on a combined basis as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Diluted Net Income Per Share 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. Ingersoll Rand believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS 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 Boardfuture.
Ingersoll Rand uses Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin to review the liquidity of Directors (whetherits operations.
