2017 Compensation Program HighlightsVision and Values
Our executive compensation program is designed
At SiteOne, we are committed to encourage high performance and results that will create value for our stockholders and us while avoiding unnecessary risks. We structure compensation to pay for performance, with clear and measureable goals and aggressive performance targets. To createbeing a “pay for performance” environment, compensation is weighted toward at-risk compensation. Our long-term equity incentive program, which consistscompany of approximately 75% stock options and 25% restricted stock units (“RSUs”), is designed to serve stockholders’ best interests in our sustained long-term performance by including extended vesting schedules and significant stock ownership requirements. The value of the option grants depends on our future performance, as the options carry a strike price based on the trading price of our stock on the date of grant and, under our long-term equity incentive plan, underwater options are prohibited from being repriced without stockholder approval. We believe our named executive officers (“NEOs”) are compensated in a manner consistent with our strategy, competitive practice, sound compensation governance principles and alignment with stockholder interests.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Fiscal Year”), base salaries for our NEOs were, in aggregate, between the 25thexcellence. While this can have many interpretations, we define this vision using five objectives: and 50th percentile of our peer group. The target for Adjusted EBITDA metric under our annual incentive program was $163.0 million, an increase of approximately 22% compared to the 2016 Fiscal Year results. Notwithstanding our strong financial results that delivered double-digit growth, short-term cash incentive payouts for each of our NEOs on the Adjusted EBITDA component (constituting 90% and 80% of the performance metric weighting for our CEO and other NEOs, respectively) was only 81% of target for the 2017 Fiscal Year.

Top 25 Stockholder Engagement
Participation
[MISSING IMAGE: tm2210305d1-pc_stockhold4c.jpg]
Stockholder feedback received through engagement is an integral part of the Board’s corporate governance review process. The Board and management team are committed to building and maintaining open communication whereby stockholders can express their views, as well as gain insight into our perspectives on long-term stockholder value.
Since 2018, we have engaged with our stockholders to deepen the Board’s understanding of our stockholders’ interests and priorities. In addition to ordinary course investor conferences, earnings calls and one-on-one investor conference calls and meetings, in which we have been actively involved since our 2016 initial public offering (“IPO”), we have conducted targeted outreach with stockholders representing a substantial portion of our stockholder base to discuss our corporate governance practices in each of the past four years. For our stockholder outreach program in 2021, we invited our top 25 stockholders to provide feedback on our governance practices. Of these top 25 stockholders, 18 (72%) engaged with us and provided feedback, representing approximately 67% of our shares outstanding. Our Board, including the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Human Resources and Compensation Committee”), reviewed feedback from our stockholders.
As a result of our discussions with stockholders since 2018, we have made a number of enhancements to our governance practices, including:

Eliminating supermajority voting requirements;

Appointing an additional female director;

Adding performance shares to executive officer compensation;

Amending our Executive Officer Ownership Policy to increase the CEO holding requirement and exclude the value of in-the-money options from ownership calculation;

Expanding the disclosures in our annual ESG Report aligned with the SASB and TCFD frameworks;

Enhancing disclosure in this Proxy Statement regarding executive compensation linked to diversity goals, as well as director skills, background, diversity and qualifications;

Amending our anti-hedging policy to prohibit pledging of Company stock by directors and executive officers;

Expanding our clawback policy for incentive compensation paid to our executive officers, including the ability to clawback for fraud, misconduct or illegal activity;

Adopting a new Non-Employee Director Equity Ownership Policy;

Significantly improving our social and environmental policies, including adopting a Human Rights Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct and Environmental Policy; and

Updating the structure of our equity incentive program to provide 33% of long-term executive compensation in the form of performance-based units.
During this year’s stockholder outreach program, stockholders shared perspectives on a number of important governance issues, including:

Our proactive engagement and attention to ESG issues, which several investors noted was a leading practice for companies in our industry and of our size;

Our classified board structure, which generally is acceptable to stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares at this time; and

Perspectives (sometimes differing) on executive compensation design, particularly on preferred performance metrics and equity vehicles.
Regarding our classified board structure, our stockholders acknowledged SiteOne’s specific circumstances including the length of time we have been a public company, our market capitalization and our track record of

stockholder returns since our IPO. Through our discussions, we have learned that our investors generally continue to remain receptive to our classified board structure at this point in time due to the specific circumstances describe above. As with other matters, we continue to evaluate our Board structure in light of best practices and stockholder feedback.
We intend to continue a cycle of year-round stockholder engagement in 2022, including our regular participation at investor meetings and conferences and periodic engagement on corporate governance and compensation topics. In addition to input on current corporate governance topics, we invite dialogue about any other topics or trends our stockholders may wish to discuss. The Board considers feedback from these conversations during its deliberations, and our engagement activities have produced valuable feedback that informs our decisions and our strategy.
The Board has also established a process by which stockholders may communicate with its members. Any stockholder or interested party who wishes to communicate with the Board as a whole, any of its committees, the independent directors, or any individual member of the Board may write to or email the Company at SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc., 300 Colonial Center Parkway, Suite 600, Roswell, Georgia 30076, Attention: Briley Brisendine, Secretary, or boardofdirectors@siteone.com.
Governance Highlights

unprecedented challenges. To reward exceptional performance during the challenging circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we made a special “thank you” payment in March 2022 to frontline branch associates who serve our customers. The aggregate payment totaled approximately $1.0 million.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We believe in the power of teamwork and in creating a great place to work for all our associates, no matter their race, age, gender, sexual orientation or military status. At SiteOne, a culture in which all our associates are required to approverespected and valued is critical. Our diversity and inclusion (“D&I”) efforts focus on creating a work environment that is respectful and supportive of each of our associates and which places the proposals?team first. Our initiatives include the following:

Proposal 1 — The nominees for Class II director will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares presentMetrics in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meetingcertain executive and entitledassociate short-term annual cash incentives intended to vote in the election of directors, which means that the nominees receiving the highest number of  “for” votes will be elected. In accordance with our second amended and restated by-laws (our “By-laws”), stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.increase diversity.

Proposal 2 — The non-binding advisory voteSupporting our Associate Resource Groups (“ARGs”), which are voluntary, employee-led groups tied to approve executive compensation will be determined by the affirmative votean aspect of the holdersdiversity. Membership in each ARG is open to all SiteOne associates and diverse representation is encouraged. ARGs support business objectives, create diversity awareness and offer an avenue of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our Board and its Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisionsdevelopment for our executive officers.associates.

Proposal 3Increasing Spanish-speaking capabilities in our branches, with the goal to employ at least one Spanish-speaking associate in each branch. — The ratification
Associate Engagement
We administer associate engagement surveys to evaluate our progress in our vision to be the employer of choice in the Green Industry. We review the survey results with all of our associates and seek their involvement in developing and executing action plans to continue our workplace improvements. We monitor associate satisfaction and aim to strengthen our pipeline of top talent by conducting talent reviews and succession planning for all critical roles in the organization. We identify, communicate and utilize career development paths for key roles. This includes not only a path up for associates, but exposure to parallel roles across the organization.
We engage an independent third party to implement our survey and compare our results against industry norms. In Fiscal Year 2021, our overall favorable score improved four percentage points since our last survey in 2020 and was nine percentage points above the average score of all other employers who have utilized the same third party for their surveys. We also experienced record participation in our associate engagement survey with approximately 76% of our associates participating. Our “associate promoter score” was 87%, which reflects if our associates consider SiteOne a great place to work. In addition, we improved in 13 of the selection15 categories that we measure, including a 95 (out of Deloitte & Touche LLP as100) score in safety, 93 (out of 100) score in empowerment and 90 (out of 100) score in strategy and direction. We continue to focus on leveraging this feedback to identify opportunities for enhancing our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2018 (the “2018 Fiscal Year”) will be determined by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. We have already appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2018 Fiscal Year. In the event of a negative stockholder vote on the ratification, the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) may reconsider its appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP for the 2018 Fiscal Year; in any event, the Audit Committee will consider the outcome of the vote for the 2018 Fiscal Year when making appointments of our independent registered public accounting firm in future years.
With regard to Proposal 1, stockholders may vote their shares “FOR” any or all of the nominees for director or may “WITHHOLD” their vote with respect to any or all of the nominees. With regard to Proposals 2 and 3, stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” each proposal or may “ABSTAIN” from voting with regard to each proposal.
What is a broker non-vote and what is discretionary voting authority?
If you are a street name holder of our common stock and do not provide voting instructions to your broker before the Annual Meeting, your broker may vote your shares on any matter on which your broker has discretionary authority to vote under the rules of NYSE. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on “routine” matters but not on “non-routine” matters, as those terms are defined by NYSE rules. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a street name holder submits a valid proxy but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder for whom it is holding shares and does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter. Proposal 3, the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, is considered a routine matter under the NYSE rules. The remaining proposals are classified as non-routine matters. Therefore, if you are a street name holder and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker may only cast a vote with regard to the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.
How are broker non-votes, votes withheld and abstentions counted?
Broker non-votes and shares that are withheld from voting in the election of directors or abstained from voting on other proposals will be counted as shares present for purposes of establishing a quorum. However, because brokers are not entitled to vote on “non-routine” matters, broker non-votes will not be counted in determining the total number of votes cast on the non-routine matters and therefore will have no effect on the approval of Proposals 1 and 2. There will be no broker non-votes with regard to Proposal 3. Shares that are withheld from voting in the election of directors and shares that are abstained from voting on other proposals will be counted as votes cast. Because a plurality vote is required for the election of directors (Proposal 1), withholding authority to vote with respect to one or more nominees for director will not affect the outcome of the election of directors in Proposal 1. Because the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at theassociate experience.
6

Annual Meeting is required in order to approve Proposals 2 and 3, shares that are voted to “ABSTAIN” on either of those proposals will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee so that your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your wishes.
Can I vote in person at the Annual Meeting?
For stockholders with shares registered directly in their names with AST, our transfer agent, you may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. For stockholders with shares registered in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares before you can vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. Written ballots will be passed out to anyone who wants to vote at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote by proxy in advance. If you vote by Internet or by telephone, you do not need to return your proxy card. Voting in advance will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you decide to attend in person.
What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting in person?
Attendance at the Annual Meeting will be limited to stockholders of the Company as of the record date (or their authorized representatives). Space for the Annual Meeting is limited, and admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis. All stockholders should be prepared to present a valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport. Beneficial stockholders holding their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee will need to bring proof of beneficial ownership as of March 19, 2018, the record date, such as a recent brokerage account statement, the voting instruction card provided by their broker, bank or other nominee or similar evidence of ownership. Stockholders of record will be verified against an official list available at the registration area. We reserve the right to deny admission to anyone who cannot show sufficient proof of stock ownership as of the record date.
How do I vote by proxy?
There are three ways to vote by proxy:
(1)
By telephone — You can vote by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903;
(2)
By Internet — You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com; or
(3)
By mail — You can vote by mail by completing, signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card.
If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other holder of record, you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. If you vote by telephone or by the Internet, you do not need to send in a proxy card or voting instruction form. The deadline for telephone and Internet voting is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 15, 2018.
The giving of a proxy will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.
How will my proxy be voted?
Proxies are being solicited on behalf of our Board for use at the Annual Meeting. All valid proxies that are not revoked will be voted as specified by the stockholders. In the absence of instructions, the shares of the common stock represented by valid proxies will be voted “FOR” the election of the persons named in this Proxy Statement as nominees for director of the Company, “FOR” the proposal regarding the advisory vote approving executive compensation, and “FOR” the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2018 Fiscal Year.
How do I change or revoke my proxy?
Any person submitting a proxy has the power to revoke it prior to the Annual Meeting or at the Annual Meeting prior to the vote pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by a writing delivered to
7

us stating that the proxy is revoked, by a subsequent proxy that is signed by the person who signed the earlier proxy and is delivered before or at the Annual Meeting, by voting again on a later date on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted) or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Please note, however, that if a stockholder’s shares are held of record by a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting, the stockholder must bring a legal proxy to the Annual Meeting.
Who will count and certify the votes?
Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) and the staff of our corporate secretary and investor relations offices will count the votes and certify the election results.
When and where will I be able to find the voting results?
You can find the official results of the voting at the Annual Meeting in our Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If the official results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment as soon as they become available.
What happens if the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned?
Unless a new record date is fixed, your proxy will still be good and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned Annual Meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy at any time until it is voted.
Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?
The accompanying proxy is solicited by our Board. We have engaged Broadridge to assist us in the distribution of proxy materials and to provide voting and tabulation services for the Annual Meeting for an estimated cost of  $25,000, plus expenses. All costs of the solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms, banks, trusts or nominees for forwarding proxy materials to street name holders. We are soliciting proxies primarily by mail. In addition, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by telephone or other means of communication personally. Our directors, officers and employees will receive no additional compensation for these services other than their regular compensation.

THE BOARD
Board Structure
The Board of the Company currently consists of eight directors and, following Mr. Pressler’s departure as noted above, will consist of seven directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board of directors, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of the directors whose terms expire at that meeting are elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting held in the third year following the year of their election. We currently have three directors in both of Class I and Class II (including Mr. Pressler), and two directors in Class III. The terms of the directors in Classes I, II and III expire at the annual meetings in 2020, 2018 and 2019, respectively.
The number of members of the Board is fixed by resolution adopted from time to time by the Board, but in no event may be less than one. Any vacancies or newly created directorships may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy or a newly created directorship shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal from office.
Director Qualifications and Selection of Nominees
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will identify and recommend director nominees to the Board, including candidates to fill any vacancies that may occur on the Board. When evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers, in view of the needs of the Board at the time, factors such as business and professional experience, reputation for integrity, judgment, diversity, age, skills, background and demonstrated commitment to full participation on the Board and its committees. When current Board members are considered for nomination for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also takes into consideration their prior Board contributions, performance and meeting attendance records. Each director candidate (including candidates for re-election) is carefully evaluated to ensure that other existing and planned future commitments will not materially interfere with his or her responsibilities as a director of our Company. Our director nominee biographies below highlight the experiences and qualifications that were among the most important to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board in concluding that the nominee should serve as a director of the Company.
The Board seeks members from diverse backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise relevant to our business with a reputation for integrity. The Board believes that a variety of viewpoints contribute to a more effective decision-making process. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to diversity, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity in identifying director nominees, including personal characteristics such as race, gender, age and cultural background. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses the effectiveness of its efforts at pursuing diversity through its periodic evaluation of the Board’s composition.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may use a variety of sources to identify candidates, including recommendations from current directors and members of management, consultants, search firms, discussions with other persons who may know of suitable candidates, and stockholder recommendations. Evaluations of prospective candidates typically include a review of the candidate’s background and qualifications by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, interviews with the members of the committee and other Board members, and discussions of the committee and the full Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers stockholder proposed director candidates on the same basis as recommendations from other sources. Stockholders who want to recommend a director candidate to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may do so by submitting the name of the prospective candidate in writing to the following address: 300 Colonial Center Parkway, Suite 600, Roswell, Georgia 30076, Attention: Briley Brisendine, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Submissions should describe the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that make the prospective candidate a suitable director nominee. Our By-laws set forth the requirements for direct nomination by a stockholder of persons for election to the Board. These requirements are described under “General — Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for Director at the 2019 Annual Meeting” on page 48.
Nominees for Director and Continuing DirectorsNOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR AND CONTINUING DIRECTORS
Set forth below is information relating to each nominee’s and continuing director’s business experience, qualifications, attributes and skills and the reasons the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board believe that each individual is a valuable member of the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
OurThe Board is committed to strong corporate governance. StrongWe believe strong corporate governance promotes the long-term interests of stockholders, strengthens board and management accountability and helps build public trust in our Company. The Board hasand its committees have adopted policies and processes that foster effective board oversight of critical matters such as strategy, risk management, including cybersecurity, financial and other controls, ESG considerations, compliance and management succession planning. The Board reviews our major governance documents, policies and processes regularly in the context of current corporate governance trends, regulatory changes and recognized best practices.practices, taking into consideration the perspectives of our stockholders. Through our website, at www.siteone.com, our stockholders have access to key corporate governance documents such as our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Business Code of Conduct and Ethics, Financial Code of Ethics, Board of Directors Communication Policy, and charters of each committee of the Board.Board and our annual ESG Report, which details our ESG initiatives and progress.
The following sections provide an overview of our corporate governance structure, policies and processes, including key aspects of ourthe Board operations.
Board Structure
The Board currently consists of seven directors. Our Charter provides for a classified board of directors, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of the directors whose terms expire at that meeting are elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting held in the third year following the year of their election. We currently have two directors in each of Classes I and II, and three directors in Class III. The terms of the directors in Classes I and II expire at the annual meetings in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Our stockholders are being asked to elect our Class III directors to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We believe that our classified board structure provides protection against opportunistic attempts to control or influence the Company, including those that advance short-term agendas which could deprive our stockholders of long-term value. During our stockholder outreach programs conducted in each of the last four years, our investors have generally found our classified board structure to be acceptable at this point in time. While certain stockholders did express a general preference for the annual election of directors during our most-recent outreach program, no stockholder expressed a negative view of our classified board specifically.
The size of the Board is fixed by resolution adopted from time to time by the Board, but in no event may be less than one. Any vacancies or newly created directorships may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy or a newly created directorship shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal from office.
Director Qualifications and Selection of Nominees
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will identify and recommend director nominees to the Board, including candidates to fill any vacancies that may occur on the Board. When evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers, in view of the needs of the Board at the time, factors such as business and professional experience, reputation for integrity, judgment, diversity, age, skills, background and demonstrated commitment to full participation on the Board and its committees. When current Board members are considered for nomination for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also takes into consideration their prior Board contributions, performance and meeting attendance records. Each director candidate (including candidates for re-election) is carefully evaluated to ensure that other existing and planned future commitments will not materially interfere with his or her responsibilities as a director of our Company. Our director biographies above, as well as the skills matrix below, highlight the experiences and qualifications that were among the most important to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board in concluding that the nominee should serve as a director of the Company.
The Board seeks members from diverse backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise relevant to our business with a reputation for integrity. The Board believes that a variety of viewpoints

14


contribute to a more effective decision-making process. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to diversity, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity in identifying director nominees, including personal characteristics such as race, gender, age and cultural background. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses the effectiveness of its efforts at pursuing diversity through its periodic evaluation of the Board’s composition. Set forth below is the Director IndependenceSkills Matrix that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews at its quarterly meetings in connection with discussions regarding potential new directors as well as the Director Diversity Matrix illustrating the diversity of our current Board.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may use a variety of sources to identify candidates, including recommendations from stockholders, current directors, current executives, external consultants and others. Evaluations of prospective candidates typically include a review of the candidate’s background and qualifications by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, interviews with the members of management, the committee and other Board members, and discussions of the committee and the full Board.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers stockholder-proposed director candidates on the same basis as recommendations from other sources. Stockholders who want to recommend a director candidate to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may do so by submitting the name of the prospective candidate in writing to the following address: 300 Colonial Center Parkway, Suite 600, Roswell, Georgia 30076, Attention: Briley Brisendine, Secretary. Submissions should describe the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that make the prospective candidate a suitable director nominee. Our By-laws set forth the requirements for direct nomination by a stockholder of persons for election to the Board. These requirements are described under “General Information — Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for Director at the 2023 Annual Meeting” on page 55.

Director Independence
The Board has determined, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, that Messrs. Diaz, Douglas, Dunbar Grebe and Wyszomierski and Ms.Mses. Drake and Isbell are “independent” as defined under NYSENew York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards. This means that none of those independent directors and nominees has any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company and its management, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us.
Board Leadership StructureBoard Leadership Structure
Our
The Board is led by our Chief Executive OfficerChairman and Chairman,CEO, Mr. Black. As stated in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, ourthe Board has the flexibility to decide when the positions of Chairman and CEO should be combined or separated and whether an executive or independent director should be Chairman. This approach is designed to allow the Board to choose the most appropriate leadership structure for the Company to serve the interests of the Company and our stockholders at the relevant time. At this point in time, the Board believes that the Company and its stockholders are best served by having Mr. Black serve as both Chairman and CEO. As the officer ultimately responsible for the day-to-day operationoperations of the Company and for execution of its strategy, the Board believes Mr. Black is the director best qualified to act as Chairman and to lead Board discussions regarding the performance of the Company. The structure also reinforces accountability for the Company’s performance at the highest levels.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that, when the position of Chairman is not held by an independent director, a lead director (“Lead Director”) will be appointed by the Board. Effective as of June 23, 2017, the independent members of the Board appointedBoard. William W. Douglas III to serveserves as our Lead Director. As Lead Director, Mr. Douglas, among other things, serves as a liaison between independent directors and the Chairman, consults with the Chairman of the Board on, and approves, the schedules, agendas and information provided to the Board for each meeting and on other pertinent matters, has the ability to call meetings of independent directors, chairs executive sessions of non-management and independent directors, and consults with the CEO on matters relating to management effectiveness and Board performance. Mr. Douglas is available for consultation and direct communication with stockholders upon request. The independent members of the Board selected Mr. Douglas for this role because of, among other attributes, his extensive board room experience, leadership qualities and ability to facilitate meaningful discussion by encouraging participation, soliciting feedback, ensuring all viewpoints are heard and considered and building consensus among the group.
The Board believes that Mr. Black, as Chairman and CEO, together ourwith an empowered and independent Lead Director, and Mr. Black provide the appropriate leadership and Board oversight of our Company and facilitate effective functioning of both the Board and the management team.
MeetingsMeetings of the Board Board and Attendance Attendance at the Annual Meeting Annual Meeting

Our Board, specifically the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, oversees our environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility initiatives and is committed to supporting our efforts to operate as a good neighbor in our communities. In addition to our commitment to ongoing, organization-wide sustainability improvement, we believe it is important to provide our stockholders with important information about our sustainability-related governance performance. As part of this commitment to transparency, we published our annual ESG Report in October 2021, which details our programs and progress across a number of important human capital and sustainability topics. Our ESG Report follows the SASB and TCFD frameworks and includes the disclosure of quantitative ESG metrics relevant to our business and industry.

Compensation Risk Assessment

19


Compensation Risk Assessment
In March 2018,2022, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee assessed our compensation policies and practices to evaluate whether they create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Based on its assessment, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee concluded that the Company’s compensation policies and practices do not create incentives to take risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We believe we have allocated our compensation among base salary, short-term incentives and long-term equity in such a way as to not encourage excessive risk taking. Additionally, the incentive compensation program uses multiple performance metrics tied to growth, profitability, asset efficiency and strategic priorities, as well as absolute stock price appreciation, to encourage a balanced focus. Finally, meaningful risk mitigators are in place, including stock ownership guidelines and retention ratio, clawback provisions (including the ability to recoup compensation for fraud, misconduct, or illegal activity), anti-hedging and pledging policies and independent Human Resources and Compensation Committee oversight.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) audited our consolidated financial statements for the 2021 Fiscal Year. As discussed below, our Audit Committee, which has sole and direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, oversight, evaluation, retention and termination of any independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company, considers Deloitte to be well qualified and has appointed Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for the year ending January 1, 2023 (the “2022 Fiscal Year”).
This proposal asks you to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although we are not required to obtain such ratification from our stockholders, the Board believes it is a sound corporate governance practice to do so.
As in prior years, the Audit Committee, along with senior management and the Company’s internal auditor, reviewed Deloitte’s 2021 performance as part of its consideration of whether to re-appoint Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm. As part of this review, the Audit Committee considered, among other things:

Deloitte’s independence and objectivity;

the communication and interaction with our Deloitte team over the course of the prior year, the breadth and complexity of our business and its national footprint and the resulting demands placed on the auditing firm;

external data and management’s perception relating to the depth and breadth of Deloitte’s auditing qualification and experience;

Deloitte’s historical and recent performance;

recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) inspection reports on the firm;

the length of time that Deloitte has served as our independent registered accounting firm;

the quantity and quality of Deloitte’s staff and national reach;

the appropriateness of Deloitte’s fees; and

the potential impact of changing our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee recognized the ability of Deloitte to provide both the necessary expertise to audit our business and the matching national footprint to audit the Company nationwide, as well as other factors, including the policies that Deloitte follows with respect to the rotation of its key audit personnel so that there is a new partner-in-charge at least every five years. The Audit Committee is involved in the selection of the new partner-in-charge of the audit engagement when there is a rotation.
Based on the results of its review, the Audit Committee concluded that Deloitte is independent and objective and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to appoint Deloitte to serve as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for the 2022 Fiscal Year. Consequently, the Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2022 Fiscal Year, and the Board is recommending that the Company’s stockholders ratify this appointment.
If the Company’s stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Deloitte but may, nonetheless, choose to retain Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may change the appointment at any time if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
A representative of Deloitte is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions by stockholders.
The sections below provide information relevant to the Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee charter provides that the Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be performed for the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm and the related fees. Audit Committee pre-approval is required in order to help assure that the services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm do not impair the registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company.
In compliance with rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the PCAOB, the Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy that requires the pre-approval of all services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. Services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm must be approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis unless such services fall within a detailed list of pre-approved audit, audit-related and tax services and related fee limitations set forth in the pre-approval policy. The Audit Committee may also grant pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as all other services that it believes are routine or recurring services and would not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The independent registered public accounting firm may be considered for other services not specifically approved as audit, audit-related and tax services so long as the services are not prohibited by SEC or PCAOB rules and would not otherwise impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.
All of the services performed by Deloitte during the 2021 Fiscal Year and 2020 Fiscal Year were approved in advance by the Audit Committee pursuant to the pre-approval policy.

This non-binding advisory vote, commonly known as a “say on pay” vote, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs’ compensation on an annual basis. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

OurThe Board and Human Resources and Compensation Committee are dedicated to ensuring that our executive officers be compensated competitively with the market and consistently with our business strategy, sound corporate governance principles and stockholder interests and concerns.

For these reasons, the Board is asking stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution:

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program
To create a “pay for performance” environment, compensation is weighted toward at-risk compensation, consisting of salary, short-term annual cash incentive compensation, long-term equity incentive compensation and certain other benefits. Our relatively low base salaries which are only at about the 25th percentileprovide a fixed level of compensation, our peer group,short-term annual cash incentive program rewards achievement of key financial and strategic objectives, and our long-term incentive opportunities tie a large portion of our NEOs’ total compensation to Company performance and long-term stock growth. In addition, ourOur short-term annual cash incentive program which is also only at about the 25th percentileincludes Adjusted EBITDA, Company Net Promoter Score (“NPS”), Organic Daily Sales growth and other individualized strategic performance targets. The Adjusted EBITDA component of our peer group, includes aggressive Adjusted EBITDA targetsshort-term annual cash incentives, which represents 70% of the incentive opportunity, is capped at 250% of target, and challenging individual performance goals.each additional component, which collectively represent the remaining 30% of the incentive opportunity, is capped at 150% of target. Our long-term equity inventive program provides for extended vesting schedules and prohibits repricingincludes PSUs with three-year relative and absolute performance criteria and capped payouts at 200% of underwater options. And finally, whiletarget. Lastly, we provide other benefits as discussed below, we provide virtually no perquisites to our executives.below.
Set forth below is a chart outlining each element of our compensation program for our executive officers and the objectives of each component, and the key measures used in determining each component. For the 2021 Fiscal Year, our NEOs’ target total direct compensation, which includes base salary, target short-term annual cash incentive and long-term equity awards, approximated the median (i.e., 50th percentile) of peer group practice.

Base Salary
Base salaries are set to attract and retain high-performing executive talent. The determination of any particular executive’s base salary is based on personal performance, experience in the role, competitive rates of pay for comparable roles, significance of the role to the Company, the availability of potential replacement executives and anticipated economic conditions. Each year, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee considers merit and market-based salary increases, using data from theour peer group, for our executives, generally, including our NEOs. Based on these factors, in January 2017,February 2021, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee approved salary increases for each of our NEOs, except Mr. Black, in the range of 2.8%2.9% to 7.1%,12.5% to move salaries toward the 50th percentile of our peer group. The base salary paid to each NEO during the 2021 Fiscal Year is shown below.

Short-Term Annual Cash Incentives
Our short-term annual cash incentives are designed to focus our NEOs on achieving superior performance against business objectives and results for the Company as a whole and, in addition, reward them for the achievement of specific individual performance and/or other goals which the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and Chief Executive OfficerCEO (in the case of NEOs other than himself) subjectively determine based on itstheir assessment of the executive’s performance during the year. By conditioning a significant portion of our NEOs’ potential total cash compensation on the Company’s achievement of clearly defined metrics, we reinforce our focus on creating a strong pay-for-performance culture.

“Organic Daily Sales” refers to Organic Sales in the fiscal reporting period divided by the number of business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, that our branches are open during such relevant fiscal reporting period. “Organic Sales” is defined as all sales, including sales from newly-opened greenfield branches and decreases in sales from closing existing branches, but excluding any sales from acquired branches until they have been under our ownership for at least four full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal reporting period. Organic Daily Sales is a non-GAAP financial measure. Reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure can be found in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

The 2017 annual bonus plan award paid to each of our NEOs is shown in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 3141 under the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column.
Long-Term Equity Incentives
In connection with our initial public offering in 2016, we adopted the SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. 2016Our 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive“2020 Plan”), which serves as the primary vehicle for providing equity incentives to our associates and directors. InPrior to obtaining stockholder approval of the 2017 Fiscal Year,2020 Plan at our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we granted equity awards under the 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2020 Plan replaced the 2016 Plan, under which no additional awards will be granted; however, outstanding awards granted under the 2016 Plan will remain outstanding and will continue to be administered in accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan and the applicable award agreements.
The Human Resources and Compensation Committee began making annual equity grants to our executives in 2017 as part of our compensation program. In addition, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee may, from time to time, provide an equity award to one or more of our NEOs to retain and reward key talent or to reflect increased responsibilities. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee may also review and approve equity awards for promotions. For more information regarding the equity awards granted to our NEOs under the Omnibus Incentive2020 Plan during the 20172021 Fiscal Year, see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards for 20172021 Fiscal Year” table on page 32 and the discussion under “Options and RSUs Granted During 2016 and 2017 under the Omnibus Incentive Plan” on page 33 below.42.
Prior to our initial public offeringIPO and the adoption of the Omnibus Incentive2020 Plan and 2016 Plan, our NEOs participated in the Amended and Restated SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (f/k/a CD&R Landscapes Parent, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan) (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). Each of our NEOs other than Mr. Salmon, who was hired post-IPO, received options under the Stock Incentive Plan in connection with the commencement of their employment. For more information regarding these options, see the “Outstanding Equity Awards Table at 20172021 Fiscal Year End” on page 3444 and the discussion under “Options Granted During 2015 under the Stock Incentive Plan” on page 3343 below.

Awards Granted During 2021 under the 2020 Plan
To create a “pay-for-performance” environment, compensation is weighted toward at-risk compensation. Our long-term equity incentive program, which consisted of approximately 33% stock options, 33% RSUs and 33% PSUs for the 2021 Fiscal Year, is designed to serve stockholders’ best interests through sustained long-term performance.

Performance Stock Units
PSUs are earned based upon the Company’s performance, over a three-year period, measured by pre-tax income plus amortization (“EBTA”) growth relative to a select peer group, subject to adjustment based upon the application of a return on invested capital (“ROIC”) modifier, as set forth below. The “Performance Period” for the PSUs awarded in February 2021 is a three-year period commencing January 4, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023. The Performance Period for the PSUs awarded in February 2020 is a three-year period commencing December 30, 2019 and ending January 1, 2023. The Performance Period for the PSUs awarded in February 2019 is a three-year period commencing December 31, 2018 and ending January 2, 2022. Vesting of PSUs is contingent upon each NEO’s continued employment, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the PSU agreement.

Payout on EBTA growth performance will be capped at 100% of target if the Company’s absolute EBTA growth is negative. Payout for performance between levels noted above will be determined using straight-line interpolation. Total payout will be capped at 200% of target.
Employment Arrangements and Severance Agreements
Under certain circumstances, we recognize that special arrangements with respect to an executive’s employment may be necessary or desirable. In connection with their commencement of employment, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Black setting forth the terms of his employment as our CEO and letter agreements with the other NEOs setting forth the terms of their employment with the Company. The agreements for each NEO provide for employment on an “at will” basis. Mr. Black’s employment agreement includes severance benefits, salary, bonus, benefits and the specific terms described below under “— Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table — Material Terms of Employment Arrangements” on page 3243 and under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 34.45. The letter agreements with the other NEOs include salary, bonus, benefits and the specific terms described below under “— Narrative Disclosure to Summary
27

Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table — Material Terms of Employment Arrangements” on page 32.43. In addition, we have entered into severance agreements with Messrs. Guthrie, Brisendine, Anker, GuthrieSalmon, Ketter and Convers,Weller, which set forth certain severance benefits to be received by the executive upon a qualifying termination of employment. The severance arrangements with our NEOs operate with a “double trigger” in the event of a change of control, meaning severance payments do not occur unless the executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause or without good reason) within 12 months following a change-in-control. For a further discussion of these benefits, see below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control — Separation BenefitBenefits Agreements with Messrs. Guthrie, Convers, Brisendine, Salmon, Ketter and Anker”Weller” on page 35.46.
Other Benefits
The benefits provided to our NEOs are generally the same as those provided to our other salaried associates and include, but are not limited to, medical, dental, health, life, accident, hospitalization and disability insurance, and a tax-qualified 401(k) plan. SeveralIn addition, NEOs receive company-paid life insurance benefits of 2X base salary. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of our NEOs and their spouses attendattended an annual customer event. We also coverevent of which the Company covered certain of Mr. Convers’ commuting, lodging and other travel expenses.expenses for the NEOs’ spouses as an additional benefit.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
While the accountingThe Human Resources and tax treatment of compensation generally has not been a consideration in determining the amounts of compensation for our executive officers, the Compensation Committee and management have taken into account the accounting and tax impact, including Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code, of various program designs to balance the potential cost to us with the value to the executive. Section 162(m), as most recently amended in December 2017 in connection with tax reform legislation, limits the deductibility of compensation paid to “covered employees” in excess of $1,000,000 in any taxable year. While the Human Resources and Compensation Committee considersmay consider the impacts of Section 162(m) when determining executive compensation, it may authorize compensation payments that do not comply with the exemptions in Section 162(m) when it believes that such payments are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent.
The Human Resources and Compensation Committee and management also consider the accounting implications of our executive officer compensation program. The expenses associated with executive compensation issued to our executive officers and other key associates are reflected in our financial statements. We account for stock-based programs in accordance with the requirements of ASCFinancial Accounting Standards

38


Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant date value of equity-based compensation issued to associates over the vesting period of such awards.
CEO Pay Ratio
For the 2017 Fiscal Year: (i) the total compensation of our median employee (excluding Mr. Black, our CEO) was $47,558; and (ii) the annual total compensation of Mr. Black, our CEO, was $2,960,465. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median employee is 62.2 to 1.
Methodology
To identify the median employee based on the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of such median employee, we used our total employee population as of October 31, 2017, which consisted of a total of 3,448 individuals, 3,399 of whom were located in the United States and 49 of whom were located in Canada.
Compensation Measure
We use a variety of pay elements to structure the compensation arrangements of our employees, including an annual cash bonus plan for a portion of our full-time employees, commissioned-based incentive compensation for employees in our various sales organizations, and hourly compensation for those employees who are not eligible to receive incentive compensation.
28

Consequently, for purposes of identifying the median compensated employee, we used the annualized pay rate for both our hourly and salary associates active as of October 31, 2017. We included all permanent employees, including new employees who were hired in fiscal 2017 but did not work for the company for the entire fiscal year. For our Canadian employees, we converted their local CAD to USD using our annual exchange rate of 1.2573. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee.
Using this methodology, we determined that our median employee was a full-time, salaried employee located in the United States, with total annual compensation for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2017 in the amount of  $47,558.
With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 2017 Summary Compensation Table on page 31.
Executive Officer Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines
The Company has established stock ownership and retention guidelines in order to further align the long-term interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. Our stock ownership guidelines requirelimit the ability of our CEO and each executive officer who reports directly to the CEO (each, a “Covered Executive”) to ownCovered Executive from selling shares of the Company’s common stock unless they own shares having an aggregate value equal to a multiple of his or her annual base salary, as follows:

Options Granted During 2015 under the Stock Incentive Plan
The Stock Incentive Plan and an employee stock option agreement govern each grant ofthe stock options granted to our NEOs duringprior to the 2015 Fiscal Year and provide,adoption of the 2016 Plan, including, among other things, the vesting provisions of the options and the option term. Options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan generally vest in five equal annual installments, subject to the recipient’s continued employment, and have a term of ten years. In the event an executive’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, the remaining options will immediately vest. In the case of a termination for “cause” (as​(as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan), all of an executive’s options, whether vested or unvested, will be canceled effective upon the executive’s termination of employment. Following a termination of an executive’s employment other than for “cause,” vested options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan are canceled unless the executive exercises the options within 90 days (or 180 days if the termination was due to death, disability or retirement after age 65) or, if sooner, prior to the options’ normal expiration date. For more detail on the Stock Incentive Plan, see “— DeterminationElements of Our Executive Officer Compensation Program— Long-Term Equity Incentives” on page 27.36.
Options, RSUs, and RSUsPSUs Granted DuringUnder the 2016 Plan and 2017 under the Omnibus Incentive2020 Plan
InFrom 2017 to 2020, the 2017 Fiscal Year, we began awarding RSUs as a vehicle to preserve award value in the event that options are underwater at the time of vesting. While we believe RSU grants are an effective retention incentive tool, we maintain a 75% to 25% mix of options to RSUs in order to preserve our “pay for performance” environment and encourage continued growth.
The Omnibus Incentive2016 Plan and anapplicable equity award agreement govern the grantterms of stockthe options, to Mr. Brisendine during the 2016 Fiscal YearRSUs and the grant of stock options and RSUsPSUs granted to each of our NEOs duringprior to the 2017 Fiscal Year and provide,adoption of the 2020 Plan, including, among other things, the vesting provisions and other terms.forfeiture provisions. The 2020 Plan and applicable equity award agreement govern the terms of the options, RSUs and PSUs granted to our NEOs since 2021. Options and RSUs granted duringunder either the 2016 Fiscal Year and the 2017 Fiscal Year under the Omnibus IncentivePlan or 2020 Plan generally vest in four equal annual installments subject to the recipient’s continued employment, and have a term of tenexpire in 10 years. In the event an executive’s employment is terminated other than for “cause” (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), a pro-rated amount of options, or in the case of retirement (subject to certain age and service conditions discussed below), the full amount of options and RSUs as applicable, that would have vested at the next anniversary of the grant date (if any) would vest. Following a termination of an executive’s employment other than for “cause,” vested options granted in 2016 and 2017 under the Omnibus Incentive2016 Plan are canceled unless the executive exercises the options (i) within 90 days, (ii) within one year if the termination was due to deathand 2020 Plan generally vest in four equal annual installments and upon vesting convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis.

In the case of a termination for “cause” (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), all of an executive’s options, whether vested or unvested, will be canceled effective upon the executive’s termination of employment.
During theControl — 2020 Plan and 2016 Fiscal Year, the form of option agreement for future grants was amended (the “Amended Option Agreement”) to provide for immediate vesting of unvested options if the executive’s employment is terminated due to death or disability. The Amended Option Agreement also provides that inPlan” on page 47.

the event of the executive’s retirement after attaining the age of 60 with ten years of service with the Company, subject to continued compliance with a non-competition agreement, the executive’s options continue to vest for one additional year following retirement. The RSUs granted during the 2017 Fiscal Year contain similar vesting provisions as the Amended Option Agreement in the case of death, disability and retirement. The Amended Option Agreement provides that options that were vested at the time of the executive’s retirement would be canceled unless the executive exercises the options within two years following retirement. Options granted under the Amended Option Agreement that become vested during the one-year period following the executive’s retirement are canceled unless the executive exercises the options within two years following such options becoming vested. In all other material respects, the terms of options granted under the Amended Option Agreement are the same as the terms of options granted in the 2016 Fiscal Year under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, discussed above. No options were granted to NEOs under the Amended Option Agreement during 2016, but the Company granted options under the Amended Option Agreement in February of 2017.

The value realized on option exercises is the difference between the market price of the underlying securities at exercise and the exercise or base price of the options.

A participant is vested in the right to receive PSUs granted in 2019 under the applicable PSU award agreement as of January 2, 2022 (the end of the performance cycle). However, pursuant to the terms of the award, the actual number of shares to be awarded to the participant is not known until the Human Resources and Compensation Committee determines the applicable performance levels of the underlying (i) relative EBTA growth and (ii) absolute ROIC after the end of the performance cycle. Accordingly, the values in the table above reflect the target number of PSUs awarded in 2019 multiplied by our closing stock price on December 31, 2021 of $242.28 (the final trading day of Fiscal Year 2021). The final value realized will not be known until after the Human Resources and Compensation Committee completes its determination in verifying the financial information used to calculate the applicable performance level achievements, which may result in a greater or lesser value than shown above. After completion of this process, the actual transfer of common stock is made to participants. As a result, the following amounts have been added to the “Stock Awards” column above to reflect the PSUs that have vested but not settled and, therefore, no value has been received by our NEOs as of March 30, 2022.

Any severance payments payable are conditioned upon to Mr. Black’s execution and non-revocation of a release.
Mr. Black’s severance arrangement operates with a “double trigger” in the event of a change of control, meaning severance payments do not occur unless the his employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause or without good reason) within 12 months following a change-in-control.

Separation Benefits Agreements with Messrs. Guthrie, Convers, Brisendine, Salmon, Ketter and AnkerWeller
The Company is party to a separation benefits agreement with each of Messrs. Guthrie, Convers, Brisendine, Salmon, Ketter and AnkerWeller that provide for certain severance benefits in the event of each executive’s termination of employment. Pursuant to the agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated without “cause,” or if he terminates his employment for “good reason,” he is entitled to receive (a) all salary, bonus and benefits earned but unpaid as of the date of termination, (b) severance pay consisting of 18 months of his base salary, paid in monthly installments (except that if Mr. Brisendine is terminated within 12 months after a change in control then his severance will be paid in a lump sum), (c) an amount equal to his bonus for the year in which his employment terminates based on actual results, prorated for the portion of the performance year that the executive had remained employed, paid at the same time that the Company pays its executive annual bonuses for such fiscal year and (d) continued medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for 18 months at active employee rates (on an after tax-basis). If the executive’s employment is terminated for “cause,” or the executive voluntarily terminates his employment without “good reason,” or if the executive’s employment is terminated due to death, he is only entitled to receive salary, bonus and benefits earned but unpaid as of the date of termination. If the executive’s employment is terminated due to disability, he is entitled to receive (a) salary, bonus and benefits earned but unpaid as of the date of termination and (b) continued medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for 18 months at active employee rates. Any severance payments payable are conditioned upon the executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release.
The severance arrangements for each of Messrs. Guthrie, Convers, Brisendine, Salmon, Ketter and AnkerWeller operate with a “double trigger” in the event of a change of control, meaning severance payments do not occur unless the his employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause or good reason) within 12 months following a change-in-control.
The definition of “Cause” in each separation benefit agreement is the same as the definition of “Cause” in Mr. Black’s employment agreement, which is described above under “— Employment Agreement with Mr. Black.”

Accelerated Vesting of Options, RSUs and RSUsPSUs on Certain Terminations of Employment or a Change in Control
Stock Incentive2020 Plan. If a NEO’s employment is terminated as a result of the NEO’s death or disability, then the unvested options held by the NEO at the time of his or her death or disability will accelerate and become vested. Upon a termination for cause, all of the NEO’s options, whether vested or unvested, are forfeited. Upon a termination for any other reason, all unvested options will be forfeited.2016 Plan
If we undergo a “change in control,” as defined below, stock optionsFor awards granted under the Stock Incentive2020 Plan will generally accelerate and be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the change in control price per share minus the exercise price of the applicable option, unless the Compensation Committee elects to provide for alternative awards in lieu of cancellation and payment.
Under the Stock Incentive Plan, a “change in control” is generally defined as the first to occur of the following events:

the acquisition by any person, entity or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities, other than any such acquisition by us, any of our subsidiaries, any employee benefit plan of ours or any of our subsidiaries, or any affiliates of any of the foregoing;

the merger, consolidation or other similar transaction involving us, as a result of which persons who were our stockholders immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or other similar transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the merged or consolidated company;

within any 12-month period, the persons who were our directors at the beginning of such period (called “incumbent directors”) cease to constitute at least a majority of our Board, except that any director elected or nominated for election to the Board by a majority of the incumbent directors then still in office is deemed to be an incumbent director for these purposes; or

the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets to one or more persons or entities that are not, immediately prior to such sale, transfer or other disposition, affiliates of ours.
Omnibus Incentive Plan.   For the options and RSUs granted in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 under the Omnibus Incentive2016 Plan, if a NEO’s employment is terminated as a result of the NEO’s death or disability, then all unvested options and RSUs held by the NEO at the time of his or her death or disability will accelerate and become vested. For PSUs granted in 2019 or 2020 under the 2016 Plan or granted in 2021 under the 2020 Plan, if a NEO’s employment is terminated as a result of the NEO’s death or disability, then a pro rata portion of the PSUs will vest (based on target level performance), determined by multiplying the target award by (x) the number of completed months that the NEO was employed with the Company during the performance period and (y) 36 months.
If a NEO resigns or retires at or after the age of 60, and has been an employee of the Company for at least 10 years, subject to certain non-competition requirements, then unvested options and RSUs will continue to vest on the prescheduled vesting dates in the one-year period following the effective date of such resignation or retirement. Inretirement (in the eventcase of options and RSUs granted in 2017), or the two-year period following the effective date of such resignation or retirement (in the case of options and RSUs granted in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021). PSUs will vest in a pro-rated number at the end of the performance cycle (based on actual performance) as follows: (x) if retirement occurs in year one of the performance period, then 33% of the PSUs will vest; (y) if retirement occurs in year two of the performance period, then 66% of the PSUs will vest (with the exception of PSUs granted in 2020 for NEOs that do not meetwhich 67% of the aforementioned agePSUs will vest); and employment requirements for(z) if retirement or uponoccurs in year three of the performance period, then 100% of the PSUs will vest.
Upon a termination without cause, unvested options and RSUs will vest in an amount equal to the number of options and RSUs, as applicable, that would have vested on the next scheduled vesting date, had hethe NEO remained employed through such vesting date, multiplied by a fraction, (x)(x) the numerator of which is the number of days from the immediately preceding vesting

date (or the grant date, if the termination of employment occurs prior to the first vesting date) and (y)(y) the denominator is the number of days from the immediately preceding vesting date (or the grant date, if the termination of employment occurs prior to the first vesting date) through such next vesting date.
For PSUs will vest (based on actual performance) at the options granted in 2016 under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the eventend of the NEO’s termination of employmentperformance period, determined by reason of death, disability or retirement, or upon a termination without cause, unvested options will vest in an amount equal tomultiplying the number of options that would have vested on the next scheduled vesting date, had he remained employed through such vesting date, multipliedtarget award by a fraction (x)(x) the numerator of which isequals the number of days fromcompleted months that the immediately preceding vesting date (orNEO was employed with the grant date, ifCompany during the termination of employment occurs prior to the first vesting date)performance period and (y)(y) the denominator is the number of days from the immediately preceding vesting date (or the grant date, if the termination of employment occurs prior to the first vesting date) through such next vesting date.which equals 36 months.
If we undergo a “change in control,” as defined below, no vesting or cancellation of awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive2020 Plan or 2016 Plan will occur if awards are assumed and/or replaced in the change in control with substitute awards having the same or better terms and conditions, provided that any substitute awards must fully vest on a participant’s involuntary termination of employment without “cause” or voluntary termination with “good reason,” in each case occurring within one year following the date of the change in control. If the Human Resources and Compensation Committee determines that substitute awards will not be provided in the change in control, all outstanding awards would fully vest and be cancelled for the same per share payment made to the stockholders in the change in control (less, in the case of options and SARs, the applicable exercise or base price). The Human Resources and Compensation Committee has the ability to prescribe different treatment of awards in the award agreements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a change in control, PSUs will automatically convert into RSUs (based on target level, in the event the change in control occurs prior to the completion of year two of the performance period, or based on performance to date, in the event the change in control occurs in year three of the performance period). The RSUs will vest at the end of the performance period unless the RSUs are not assumed and/or replaced or the participant’s employment is terminated without cause or voluntarily with good reason as described above, in which case the RSUs will vest immediately.

Methodology
AUDIT MATTERS
PROPOSAL 3:   RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Deloitte & Touche LLP auditedDuring the 2021 Fiscal Year, there were no changes to our consolidated financial statements forassociate population or compensation arrangements that we believe would result in significant changes to our pay ratio disclosure compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. As discussed below,disclosure in our Audit Committee, which has sole and direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, oversight, evaluation, retention and terminationProxy Statement delivered in connection with our 2019 Annual Meeting of any independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company, considers Deloitte & ToucheStockholders. Accordingly, pursuant to be well qualified and has appointed Deloitte & Touche as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 30, 2018.
This proposal asks you to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte & Touche as our independent registered public accounting firm. AlthoughSEC rules, we are not required to obtain such ratification from our stockholders,using the Board believes it is a sound corporate governance practice to do so.
As in prior years, the Audit Committee, along with senior management and the Company’s internal auditor, reviewed Deloitte & Touche’s 2017 performancesame median employee as part of its consideration of whether to re-appoint Deloitte & Touche as our independent registered public accounting firm. As part of this review, the Audit Committee considered, among other things:

the length of time that Deloitte & Touche has served as our independent registered accounting firm;

the breadth and complexitylast year for purposes of our business and its national footprint andpay ratio disclosure. We also used the resulting demands placed on the auditing firm;

external data and management’s perception relatingsame median employee in our 2020 Proxy Statement pursuant to the depth and breadth of Deloitte & Touche’s auditing qualification and experience;

the quantity and quality of Deloitte & Touche’s staff and national reach;

the communication and interaction withSEC rules. To identify our Deloitte & Touche team over the course of the prior year; and

the potential impact of changing our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee recognized the ability of Deloitte & Touche to provide both the necessary expertise to audit our business and the matching national footprint to audit the Company nationwide,median employee in 2020, as well as other factors,to determine the annual total compensation of such median employee, we used our total employee population as of December 31, 2019, which consisted of a total of 4,615 associates, 4,536 of whom were located in the United States and 79 of whom were located in Canada.
Compensation Measure
We use a variety of pay elements to structure the compensation arrangements of our associates, including a short-term annual cash incentive award plan for a portion of our full-time associates, commissioned-based incentive compensation for associates in our various sales organizations and hourly compensation for those associates who are not eligible to receive incentive compensation.
Consequently, for purposes of identifying the policies that Deloitte & Touche follows withmedian compensated employee, we used the annualized pay rate for both our hourly and salary associates active as of December 31, 2019. We included all permanent associates, including new associates who were hired during the 2019 Fiscal Year but did not work for the Company for the entire fiscal year. For our Canadian associates, we converted their local CAD to USD using the 2019 annual exchange rate of 0.76. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee.
Median Employee
Using the methodology describe above we determined our median employee was a full-time, salaried associate located in the United States. Our median employee’s total annual compensation, calculated using the same methodology used in calculating Mr. Black’s annual total compensation for the 2021 Fiscal Year, was $57,689.
With respect to the rotationannual total compensation of its key audit personnel so that there is a new partner-in-charge at least every five years. The Audit Committee is involvedour CEO, we used the amount reported in the selection“Total” column of the new partner-in-charge of the audit engagement when there is a rotation.
Basedour 2021 Summary Compensation Table on the results of its review, the Audit Committee concluded that Deloitte & Touche is independent and objective and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to appoint Deloitte & Touche to serve as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for 2018. Consequently, the Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2018, and the Board is recommending that the Company’s stockholders ratify this appointment.
If the Company’s stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Deloitte & Touche but may, nonetheless, retain Deloitte & Touche as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may change the appointment at any time if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
A representative of Deloitte & Touche is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions by stockholders.
The sections below provide information relevant to the Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche.page 41.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING
What are the proxy materials and why am i receiving them?
The accompanying proxy is delivered and solicited on behalf of the Board, in connection with our Annual Meeting to be held on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, in a virtual meeting format only at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SITE2022. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under SEC rules and is designed to provide you with information relevant to the voting of your shares at the Annual Meeting. The proxy materials include this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report for the 2021 Fiscal Year and have been made available to you by either mail or Notice.
All stockholders and beneficial owners may access the proxy materials at www.proxyvote.com. In addition, this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report are available on our investor relations website located at investors.siteone.com/sec-filings. If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials at no charge, please write to SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc., 300 Colonial Center Parkway, Suite 600, Roswell, Georgia 30076, Attention: Briley Brisendine, Secretary.
What is notice and access and why do we elect to use it?
As permitted by the SEC, Notice and Access provides companies with the ability to make proxy materials available to stockholders electronically via the Internet. We have elected to provide our stockholders with the Notice instead of mailing a full set of printed proxy materials in the mail. The Notice is a document that provides instructions regarding how to:
View our proxy materials on the Internet
View your shares
Request printed copies of these materials, including the proxy card or voting instruction card
On or about March 30, 2022, we began mailing the Notice to beneficial owners and posted our proxy materials on the website referenced in the Notice. As more fully described in the Notice, stockholders who received the Notice may choose to access our proxy materials on the website referenced in the Notice or may request a printed set of our proxy materials. You may also choose to receive future proxy materials by email. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you revoke it.
We have chosen to provide electronic access to our proxy materials because utilizing Notice and Access will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting.
Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?
The record date for stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting is March 15, 2022. At the close of business on that date, we had 44,873,104 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting. We have one stockholder of record, with many more beneficial stockholders who hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available in electronic form at the Annual Meeting and will be accessible in electronic form at our headquarters, 300 Colonial Center Parkway, Suite 600, Roswell, Georgia 30076, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting.
By granting a proxy, you authorize the persons named as proxies to represent you and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Those persons will also be authorized to vote your shares to adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time and to vote your shares at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

56


Registered Stockholders. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares and the proxy materials were provided to you directly by us. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals named as proxies on the proxy card in one of the manners listed on the proxy card or to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Stockholders. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee, who is considered, with respect to those shares, to be the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares using the methods prescribed by your broker, bank or other nominee on the voting instruction card you received with the proxy materials. Like stockholders of record, beneficial owners are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’s, bank’s or other nominee’s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy from it, as the stockholder of record.
What items of business will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
The items of business scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are:
Proposal 1:Elect the three Class III nominees named in this Proxy Statement as Class III directors for a term expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Proposal 2:Ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2023.

Proposal 2:“FOR” the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending January 1, 2023.

Other
Proposals:
At the discretion of Doug Black and Briley Brisendine, the persons designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting, either “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with regard to any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
As of the date hereof, the Board is not aware of any other business to be transacted at the Annual Meeting. If other matters requiring a vote of the stockholders arise, Doug Black and Briley Brisendine, the persons designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting, will vote the shares represented at the Annual Meeting in accordance with their judgment on those matters.
How many shares are needed to hold the annual meeting?
A quorum is required for our stockholders to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is present.

(1)
With regard to Proposal 1, stockholders may vote their shares “FOR” any or all of the nominees for director or may “WITHHOLD” their vote with respect to any or all of the nominees. With regard to Proposals 2 and 3, stockholders may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” each proposal or may “ABSTAIN” from voting with regard to each proposal. A plurality vote is required for the election of directors, which means that the nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. “WITHHOLD” votes will have no effect on the election of the nominees in Proposal 1 because they are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose.
(2)
A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a street name holder submits a valid proxy but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder for whom it is holding shares and does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter. Broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 1 because broker non-votes are not considered a vote cast for purposes of determining a plurality. Brokers will only have discretionary authority to vote on Proposal 2, the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. Broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 3 because broker non-votes will not be counted as shares entitled to vote on this matter.
(3)
As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, the Board and its Human Resources and Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our executive officers.
How do i vote?
To be valid, your vote by Internet, telephone or mail must be received by the deadline specified on the proxy card or voting information form, as applicable. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting.

We have been advised that the Internet and telephone voting procedures that have been made available to you are consistent with applicable legal requirements. Stockholders voting by Internet or telephone should understand that, while we and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

58


Can i ask questions at the annual meeting?
Stockholders as of our record date who attend and participate in our virtual Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SITE2022 will have an opportunity to submit questions live via the Internet during the meeting. Stockholders must have available their control number provided on their proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice. While we intend to answer questions generally in the order in which they are received, only questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints. Questions regarding personal matters, including those related to employment, product or service issues, or suggestions for product innovations, are not pertinent to meeting matters and therefore will not be answered. Questions that are substantially similar may be grouped and answered together to avoid repetition.
If we are unable to answer your question during the Annual Meeting due to time constraints, you are encouraged to contact our Investor Relations department at investors@siteone.com.
What happens if the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned?
Unless a new record date is fixed, your proxy will still be valid and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned Annual Meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy at any time until it is voted.
How will my proxy be voted?
Proxies are being solicited on behalf of the Board for use at the Annual Meeting. All valid proxies that are not revoked will be voted as specified by the stockholder authorizing the proxy. In the absence of instructions, the shares of the common stock represented by valid proxies will be voted “FOR” the election of the persons named in this Proxy Statement as nominees for director of the Company, “FOR” the ratification of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2022 Fiscal Year and “FOR” the proposal regarding the advisory vote approving executive compensation.
How do i change or revoke my proxy?
Any person submitting a proxy has the power to revoke it prior to the Annual Meeting or at the Annual Meeting prior to the vote pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by a writing delivered to us stating that the proxy is revoked, by a subsequent proxy that is signed by the person who signed the earlier proxy and is delivered before or at the Annual Meeting, by voting again on a later date on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted) or voting at the Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that if you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must contact your nominee to change your vote or obtain a proxy to vote your shares if you wish to cast your vote at the Annual Meeting.
Who will count and certify the votes?
Representatives of Broadridge and our corporate secretary will count the votes and certify the election results.
When and where will i be able to find the voting results?
You can find the official results of voting at the Annual Meeting in our Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If the official results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment as soon as they become available.
Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board. We have engaged Broadridge to assist us in the distribution of proxy materials, hosting of the virtual meeting and to provide voting and tabulation services for the Annual Meeting for an estimated cost of $172,000. All costs of the solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms, banks, trusts or nominees for forwarding proxy materials to street name holders. To reduce costs, we primarily solicit proxies via Notice and Access. We are also soliciting proxies by mail. In addition, our directors, officers and associates may solicit proxies by telephone or other means of communication personally. Our directors, officers and associates will receive no additional compensation for these services other than their regular compensation.
