In making this determination, the Board also considered the relative size of Trexthe Company, the size of the Board and the fact that all remaining members of the Board are independent. The Board believes that having a combined role enhances the ability to provide insight and direction on important strategic initiatives to both management and the Board and increases the likelihood that Trexthe Company actacts with a common purpose. Separating the roles would potentially result in less effective management and governance processes through undesirable duplication of work and, in worst case, lead to a blurring of the current clear lines of accountability and responsibility. TrexThe Company’s overall corporate governance policies and practices adequately addressesaddress any governance concerns raised by the dual CEO and Chairman role. In addition, the Board determined that there are other members of the executive management team that are well versed in all aspects of Trexthe Company and who are familiar with the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman/CEO in the event that the Chairman/CEO is unavailable.

Mr. Gratz is Trexthe Company’s Lead Independent Director, and he is currently serving a term of two years, which ends May 2012.2014. Mr. Gratz is an experienced former public company Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. (For additional information regarding Mr. Gratz’s professional experience, please see “Proposal 1 – 1—Election of Directors”.) As our Lead Independent Director, and pursuant to Trexthe Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, the responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director may include: presiding at executive sessions of the independent directors; presiding at Board meetings in the absence of the Chairman; making recommendations and consulting with management with regard to Board meeting agendas, materials and schedules; and serving as a liaison between the independent directors and members of senior management.

Our Board also has three key committees: the

Each of these committees plays an important role in the governance and leadership of our Board and each is chaired by an independent director with significant business experience.

The Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight. Our Board recognizes the importance of effective risk oversight in running a successful business and in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities to Trexthe Company and its stockholders. While the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and other members of our senior leadership team are responsible for the day-to-day management of risk, our Board is responsible for ensuring that an appropriate culture of risk management exists within Trexthe Company and for setting the right “tone at the top,” overseeing our aggregate risk profile, and assisting management in addressing specific risks, such as strategic and competitive risks, financial risks, brand and reputation risks, legal risks, regulatory risks, and operational risks.

The Board believes that its current leadership structure best facilitates its oversight of risk by combining independent leadership, through the Lead Independent Director, independent board committees, and majority independent board composition, with an experienced Chairman and Chief Executive Officer who has intimate knowledge of our business, history, and the complex challenges we face. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s in-depth understanding of these matters and involvement in the day-to-day management of Trex the

10

Company uniquely positions him to promptly identify and raise key business risks to the Board, call special meetings of the Board when necessary to address critical issues, and focus the Board’s attention on areas of concern. The Lead Independent Director, independent committee chairs and other directors also are experienced professionals or executives who can and do raise issues for Board consideration and review, and are not hesitant to challenge management. The Board believes there is a well-functioning and effective balance between the Lead Independent Director, non-executive independent board members and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which enhances risk oversight.

10

The Board exercises its oversight responsibility for risk both directly and through its three standing committees. Throughout the year, the Board and each committee spend a portion of their time reviewing and discussing specific risk topics. The full Board is kept informed of each committee’s risk oversight and related activities through regular oral reports from the committee chairs, and committee meeting minutes are available for review by all directors. Strategic, operational and competitive risks also are presented and discussed at the Board’s quarterly meetings, and more often as needed. On at least an annual basis, the Board conducts a review of our long-term strategic plans and members of senior management report on our top risks and the steps management has taken or will take to mitigate these risks. In addition, atAt each quarterly meeting, or more often as necessary, the General Counsel updates the Board on material legal and regulatory matters. On a regular basis between Board meetings, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides written and/or oral reports to the Board on the critical issues we face and recent developments in each of our principal operating areas. These reports include a discussion of business risks as well as a discussion regarding enterprise risk. In addition, at each quarterly meeting, or more often as necessary, the General Counsel updates the Board on material legal and regulatory matters.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the framework by which management discusses our risk profile and risk exposures with the full Board and its committees. The Audit Committee meets regularly with our Chief Financial Officer, independent auditor, internal auditor, General Counsel, and other members of senior management to discuss our major financial risk exposures, financial reporting, internal controls, credit and liquidity risk, compliance risk, and key operational risks. The Audit Committee meets regularly in separate executive sessions with the Chief Financial Officer, independent auditor and internal auditor, as well as with committee members only, to facilitate a full and candid discussion of risk and other issues.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing human capital and compensation risks, including evaluating and assessing risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for all employees and ensuring executive compensation is aligned with performance. The Compensation Committee also is charged with monitoring our incentive and equity-based compensation plans, including employee pension and benefit plans.plans, reviewing and retaining compensation advisers, and considering the results of the say-on-pay vote and determine what adjustments, if any, are necessary or appropriate for the Company to make to its compensation policies and practices in light of such vote.

The Nominating/ Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks related to our overall corporate governance, including Board and committee composition, Board size and structure, Board compensation, director independence, and our corporate governance profile and ratings. The Committee also is actively engaged in overseeing risks associated with succession planning for the Board and management.

Director Independence. The Board has affirmatively determined that all of the current directors, other than Mr. Kaplan, who is Trexthe Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, are “independent” of Trexthe Company within the meaning of the rules governing companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or “NYSE”. For a director to be “independent” under the NYSE rules, the Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with Trexthe Company, either directly or as a partner, shareholderstockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Trexthe Company.

11

The Board has adopted the following categorical standards of independence to assist it in determining whether a director has a material relationship with Trexthe Company. The following relationships between a director and Trexthe Company will not be considered material relationships that would preclude a finding by the Board that the director is independent under the NYSE rules:

11

Consistent with the NYSE rules, Trexthe Company’s corporate governance principles require Trexthe Company’s non-management directors to meet at least once each quarter without management present and, if the group of non-management directors includes any director who is not independent under NYSE rules, to meet at least once each year with only the independent directors present.

Prior to Mr. Ferrari’s retirement in May 2010, Mr. Ferrari was the only non-management non-independent director. The Board did not hold an executive session of independent directors in 2010 prior to Mr. Ferrari’s retirement.2013.

Director Nominations Policy

The Board has, by resolution, adopted a director nominations policy. The purpose of the nominations policy is to set forth the process by which candidates for possible inclusion in Trex Company’s recommended slate of director nomineesdirectors are selected. The nominations policy is administered by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.

13

The Board does not currently prescribe any minimum qualifications for director candidates. Consistent with the criteria for the selection of directors approved by the Board, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will take into account Trexthe Company’s current needs and the qualities needed for Board service, including experience and achievement in business, finance, technology or other areas relevant to Trexthe Company’s activities; reputation, ethical character and maturity of judgment; diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds and experiences; absence of conflicts of interest that might impede the proper performance of the responsibilities of a director; independence under SEC and NYSE rules; service on other boards of directors; sufficient time to devote to Board matters; ability to work effectively and collegially with other Board members; and diversity. In considering the diversity of candidates, the Committee considers an individual’s background, professional experience, education and skill, race, gender and/or national origin. In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will review such directors’ overall service to Trexthe Company during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any transactions of such directors with Trexthe Company during their term. For those potential new director candidates who appear upon first consideration to meet the Board’s selection criteria, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will conduct appropriate inquiries into their background and qualifications and, depending on the result of such inquiries, arrange for in-person meetings with the potential candidates.

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee may use multiple sources for identifying director candidates, including its own contacts and referrals from other directors, members of management, and Trex Company’s advisers, and executive search firms. The Committee will consider director candidates recommended

13

by stockholders and will evaluate such director candidates in the same manner in which it evaluates candidates recommended by other sources.advisers. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has used in the past, and may use in the future, the services of an executive search firm to help identify candidates for directors who meet the qualifications outlined above. The search firm screens the candidates, conducts reference checks, prepares a biography of each candidate for committee review and assists in arranging interviews. In identifying Mr. Golden as a candidate for nomination to the Board in February, 2013, and Mr. Volas as a candidate for nomination to the Board in March 2014, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee retained the executive search firm, Russell Reynolds Associates.

The Committee will also consider director candidates recommended by stockholders and will evaluate such director candidates in the same manner in which it evaluates candidates recommended by other sources. In making recommendations for director nominees for the annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider any written recommendations of director candidates by stockholders received by the Secretary of Trexthe Company no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. Recommendations must include the candidate’s name and contact information and a statement of the candidate’s background and qualifications, and must be mailed to Trex Company, Inc., 160 Exeter Drive, Winchester, Virginia 22603-8605, Attention: Secretary.

The nominations policy is intended to provide a flexible set of guidelines for the effective functioning of Trexthe Company’s director nominations process. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee intends to review the nominations policy as it considers advisable and anticipates that modifications may be necessary from time to time as Trexthe Company’s needs and circumstances evolve, and as applicable legal or listing standards change. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee may amend the nominations policy at any time.

Director CompensationDIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Non-employee directors of Trexthe Company receive cash and stock-based compensation under the Trex Company, Inc. Amended and Restated 1999 Incentive Plan for Outside Directors, or “Outside Director Plan.” The Outside Director Plan is administered by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. All stock-based(The Outside Director Plan provides that all equity grants awarded as compensation to non-employee directorsissued under such Plan are issued underpursuant to the Trex Company, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, or “2005 Stock Incentive Plan,” which was approved by stockholders at Trexthe Company’s 2005 annual meeting. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved an amendment and restatement of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, which is being submitted to the stockholders for their approval at this annual meeting, and which will be known as the Trex Company, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan if approved by the stockholders. (SeeApproval of Trex Company, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan—Proposal 4.))

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board regarding non-employee director compensation. In accordance with this authority, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee utilizes the services of DolmatConnell & Partners, Inc. as the committee’s outsideCompensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, Hay Group, to advise the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee on matters related to director compensation.

TrexThe Company’s director compensation program was developedreviewed by Hay Group in consultation with2012, and such review indicated that the compensation consultant in 2007 and was designed to delivernon-employee directors’ total annual compensation (consisting of cash and stock-based compensation) was approximately at the 25^th percentile of the Company’s peer group. (See discussion of our peer group under the “Benchmarking” section ofCompensation Discussion and Analysis under “How do we determine executive pay.”) Based upon the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee’s desire to have director compensation approximate or slightly exceed the median of Trex Company’sits peer group, which was made up of 16 companies in both the construction and plastic products and consumer products industries that are similar in both revenues and market capitalization to Trex Company. Many of Trex Company’s key competitors were not included, since they are significantly larger, and thus did not provide an appropriate basis for comparison, or are divisions or subsidiaries of public companies, and therefore have not publicly released board compensation data. Under this program, annual non-employee director compensation was delivered approximately 45% in cash (depending on meeting attendance fees) and approximately 55% in stock-settled stock appreciation rights, or “SARs,” based on the Black-Scholes valuation model, which the Board believes appropriately balances remunerating Trex Company’s non-employee directors for their service and linking their compensation closelyapproved certain modifications to returns to stockholders through the potential for enhanced value from future stock price appreciation. Directors could elect to receive additional SARs in lieu of cash payments. Directors are also reimbursed for actual travel expenses.

In 2010, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee asked Trex Company’s Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel and Secretary, or “CAO”, to review the director compensation program, and to

15

benchmark the compensation against Trex Company’s peer group and similarly sized public companies. The peer group companies used for such benchmarking were selected in February 2009 by the compensation consultant, and consisted of the following companies:

Based upon such benchmarking, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the Board that it increase the annual cash retainer from $24,000 to $27,500, increase the annual equity retainer from $28,800 to $30,000, and change the mix of equity grants from 100% SARs to 50% SARs and 50% time-based restricted stock, or “restricted shares”, which vest one year after the date of the grant. On July 20, 2010, the Board accepted these recommendations, and amended the Outside Director Plan accordingly.in July 2012. As a result of these changes, annual non-employee director compensation will be delivered approximately 56% in cash and approximately 44% in equity (with such percentages assuming that no director elects to receive equity in lieu of cash, as further discussed below, and assuming that the grant of equity upon initial appointment to the Board is spread over 6 years).

As a result of the modifications, made to the director compensation program in 2010, the elements of the non-employee director compensation package under the Outside Director Plan are as follows:

16

16

The exercise price per share of a SAR is the fair market value of the common stock on the SAR grant date, which is equal to the closing sale price of the common stock on the NYSE on that date. Upon exercise of a SAR, the non-employee director will be entitled to receive a number of shares of common stock with a value based on the excess of the fair market value of the common stock on the exercise date over the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. Upon the termination of a non-employee director’s service for any reason (other than for cause), the director will have the right, at any time within five years after the date of termination of service and before the termination of the SAR or stock option, to exercise any optionSAR or SARstock option held by the director on the service termination date.

Trex

The Outside Director Plan, as amended in 2012, is designed to deliver annual cash compensation at the median, and equity compensation slightly above the median, of the Company’s peer group. The Outside Director Plan, as amended, is designed to deliver compensation approximately 50% in cash and 50% in equity (assuming a director does not elect to receive additional equity in lieu of cash, as discussed above), with the objective of appropriately balancing the pay of non-employee directors for their service while linking their compensation closely to returns to stockholders through the potential for enhanced value from future stock price appreciation. Directors are also reimbursed for actual travel expenses.

The Company does not provide pensions, medical benefits or other benefit programs to non-employee directors.

In 2013, the Board adopted Stock Ownership Guidelines applicable to non-employee directors, pursuant to which each non-executive director is required to own and hold, as a minimum, that number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a market value of at least 3 times the director’s annual cash retainer. For purposes of the guidelines, common stock includes shares of common stock no matter how acquired (i.e., vesting of restricted shares or purchased on the open market), and unvested restricted shares. Directors have 5 years from the adoption of the guidelines or 5 years from becoming a director, whichever occurs later, to comply with the ownership requirements. Notwithstanding, each director meets the current minimum requirements other than Mr. Golden, who was appointed to the Board in February 2013, and Mr. Volas, who was appointed to the Board in March 2014.

In 2013, the Board also adopted, on a voluntary basis and in advance of final Dodd-Frank Act hedging rules, an Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy that applies to non-employee directors. This policy prohibits our directors from purchasing any financial instrument or entering into any transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Company equity (including, but not limited to, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or exchange funds), or pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise encumbering Company equity as collateral for indebtedness.

(See discussion inCompensation Discussion and Analysis under the “Stock Ownership Guidelines” and “Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy” sections under “Additional Information on Our Program.” for discussion of the Stock Ownership Guidelines and Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy as applicable to our executive officers.)

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis focuses on the material elements of our executive compensation program in effect for the 2013 fiscal year. It also provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy and why we believe the program is appropriate for the Company and its stockholders. Finally, we discuss the Compensation Committee’s methodology for determining appropriate and competitive levels of compensation for the named executive officers. Details of compensation paid to the named executive officers can be found in the tables below.

Our executive compensation program is intended to align our named executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders by rewarding performance that meets or exceeds the goals the Compensation Committee establishes with the objective of increasing stockholder value. In line with our pay for performance philosophy, the total compensation received by our named executive officers will vary based on individual and corporate performance measured against annual and long-term performance goals. Our named executive officers’ total compensation is comprised of a mix of base salary, annual cash incentive compensation and long-term equity incentive awards.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

What person or group is responsible for determining the compensation levels of named executive officers?

The Role of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, pursuant to its charter, reviews, determines and approves the compensation, including base salary, and annual and long term incentive compensation, of Trexthe Company’s CEO and the other named executive officers, as well as Vice Presidents who report directly to the CEO. Additionally, the Compensation Committee administers Trexthe Company’s employee benefit programs, including its 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Bonus Planannual cash incentive plan, and other incentive compensation plans, benefit plans and equity-based plans.

The Role of Consultants. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain and terminate any third-party compensation consultant and to obtain advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting and other advisers. The Compensation Committee has the authority to compensate its outside advisers without obtaining approval of the Board. In accordance with this authority, the Compensation Committee utilized the services of DolmatConnell & Partners, Inc.retained Hay Group in 2013 as the committee’s outsideindependent compensation consultant to advise the Compensation Committee on matters related to CEO and other named executive officer compensation. Representatives of DolmatConnell & Partners attended oneThe Compensation Committee meeting at the requestassessed Hay Group’s work as required under rules of the Compensation Committee in 2010.Securities and Exchange Commission and concluded that it did not raise any conflicts of interest and that Hay Group was independent within the NYSE’s listing standards.

The consultant’s assignments are determined by the chairman of the Compensation Committee. At the request of the chairman, the current consultant recommendsassists in developing the peer group of companies and compensation surveys to be used for the competitive analyses, prepares the market analysis of both named executive officer

and board compensation, prepares a financial analysis of Trexthe Company’s performance vis-à-vis the peer group and analyzes the relationship between CEO pay and company performance, constructs market competitive ranges of pay opportunity for base salaries, bonusannual cash incentive targets, and long-term equity incentive awards for named executive officers, and reviews the bonusannual cash incentive and long-term equity incentive plans for linkage to key business objectives and company performance. The consultant advises the Compensation Committee as to the compensation of officers of Trexthe Company, but does not recommend any specific pay level changes for named executive officers.

The Role of Executives. TrexThe Company’s CEO and its Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel and Secretary, or “CAO,” are actively involved in the executive compensation process. Historically, the CEO reviews the performance of each of the named executive officers (other than his own performance) and, within the defined program parameters, recommends to the Compensation Committee base salary increases and bonusannual cash incentive and long-term incentive awards for such individuals. He provides the Compensation Committee with both short-termannual and long-term recommended financial performance goals for Trexthe Company that are used to link pay with performance. The CEO also provides his views to the Compensation Committee and the consultant with respect to the executive compensation program’s ability to attract, retain and motivate the level of executive talent necessary to achieve Trexthe Company’s business goals. The CAO works with the CEO to develop the recommended base salary increases, bonusannual cash incentive levels and long-term equity incentive awards, and provides analysis on the ability of the executive compensation program to attract, retain, and motivate Trexthe Company’s executive team and potential executive hires. The CEO and the CAO attend the meetings of the Compensation Committee, but do not participate in the Compensation Committee’s executive sessions.

What are Trexthe Company’s executive compensation principles and objectives?

The Compensation Committee believes that the goalsstructure of the total compensation program for named executive officers should be designed to attract, motivate, and retain key talent to promote the long-term success of Trexthe Company, and to balance these objectives with a strong link to stockholder return and other measures of performance that drive total stockholder return.

Trex

The Company’s overall executive compensation philosophy is that pay should be competitive with the relevant market for executive talent, be performance-based, vary with the attainment of specific objectives, and be closely aligned with the interests of Trexthe Company’s stockholders. The core principles of Trexthe Company’s executive compensation program include the following:

21

The CEO and the Compensation Committee regularly review the executive compensation program and philosophy to assess whether the program promotes the objectives of enabling Trexthe Company to attract and retain exceptionally talented executives and to link total compensation to Trexthe Company’s ability to meet its annual financial and non-financial goals and, in the longer term, to produce enhanced levels of total stockholder return. Such a review was undertaken in the first quarter of 2008 and the fourth quarter of 2009. Although, following theseBased on such reviews, no changes were made to our executive compensation philosophy, which the Compensation Committee believes is based on appropriate principles, programmatic changes have been implemented at various times to enhance consistency of the various compensation elements with the program’s philosophy.

How do we determine executive pay?

Benchmarking: Benchmarking in comparison to the peer group (see below) is one of several factors considered in the compensation process but is not in and of itself determinative. The relative position of individual named executive officers in comparison to the peer group is based on their respective competencies, experience and performance. While the Company does not establish executive pay based solely on benchmarking data, we believe that our pay levels and practices should be within a range of competitiveness with our peer group and benchmarking provides us with an assessment of reasonableness and competitiveness. To that end, the Company generally views the median of the market as a reference point against which to evaluate the competitiveness of its target total direct compensation. However, each individual’s actual compensation is based on numerous factors including the individual’s level of experience in the role and the annual and long-term performance of both the Company and the individual.

The Compensation Committee benchmarks all elements oftarget total direct compensation, which consistconsists of base salary, target annual cash bonus, target total cash compensation,incentive, and all formsthe value of long-term equity incentives to the competitive marketplace. Trex Companymarketplace, including to a peer group of companies (the “peer group”). The Compensation Committee benchmarks its named

23

executive officer compensation because the Compensation Committee believes this is the best way to determine whether such compensation is competitive with Trexthe Company’s labor market for executive talent.

Trex Company compares bothPeer Group:In June 2012, Hay Group reviewed the Company’s existing peer group and provided the Compensation Committee with a set of considerations for change, including proposed additions and deletions to the peer group. Based on Hay Group’s analysis, the Compensation Committee refined its levelspeer group taking into account a number of executive compensationfactors for each potential peer company including, but not limited to, size (revenues, market capitalization and its financial performance,number of employees), nature of business (business comparators and similar customer base), organizational complexity and business model (span and scope of the organization), competition for executive compensation purposes,talent (organizations from which executives may be recruited to and from) and location. While all of the aforementioned factors are taken in account, Hay Group considers the most important to be size and competition for executive talent as these provide the most meaningful insight into competitive practices.

In June 2012, with input from Hay Group, the Compensation Committee identified a publicly-traded peer group consisting of two sets of companies: a set of companies from the construction and plastic-products industry and a set of companies from the consumer products industry.

The companies that make up Trex Company’s peer group were selected based on six primary criteria:

22

Based upon these criteria, the peer group of companies selected by the Compensation Committee in February 2009, which we refer to as the “peer group,” consist of the following fifteen companies:

In addition to peer group data,December 2012, Hay Group completed an executive compensation was benchmarked in 2009benchmarking study. Hay Group assessed the Company’s executive compensation program against compensation surveys published by Towers Perrin. Trex Company’s targeted market position is the position at which Trex Company desires to compensate its named executive officers relative to the peer group both with respect to competitiveness and executivemix of the elements of compensation. Hay Group compared the following elements of compensation surveys used inof the benchmarking process. To incentivize short-term performance, Trex Company’s targeted market positionCompany against the peer group for 2011 (the last reported compensation for the peer group): (1) base salaries is to approximate the market 50^th percentile and forsalary; (2) target total cash compensation is to approximate(base salary plus target annual cash incentive compensation); and (3) target total direct compensation (base salary plus target annual cash incentive compensation plus the market 50^th percentile. Annual long-termvalue of long term equity incentive awards are targeted at the 75^thpercentile of the market.compensation). Based on such comparison, Hay Group determined that the executiveCompany’s respective elements of target compensation benchmarking completed in February 2009 by DolmatConnell & Partners at the request of the Compensation Committee, and weightingcompared against the peer group data at 75% and the Towers Perrin compensation survey data at 25%, the market positioning of Trex Company for its named executive officers waswere as follows:

These positions are an averageWith respect to the mix of target compensation for the executive team, but may vary by individual. In addition, new-hire or promotional awards, as well as retention awards, may be positioned above the targeted market position. We discuss any such material deviations for any particular named executive officer below.

Trex Company’s Compensation Committee seeksofficers, Hay Group found that the Company grants a higher percentage of variable compensation (annual cash incentives and long-term equity incentives) and a lower percentage of fixed compensation (base salary), compared to balance providing competitivetotal compensation, with avoiding excessive shareholder dilution. As a result, the targeted competitive positioning of Trex Company’s long-term incentive grants may be lower than the stated philosophy from time to time ifpeer group. This means that a higher percentage of the Company’s named executive officers’ compensation is “at risk” than the peer group. This is consistent with one of the core principles of the Compensation Committee changes targeted award values to adjustCommittee; namely, that a material portion of the executive officers’ total compensation should be dependent on performance.

24

Hay Group also compared these elements of compensation on an actual basis for fluctuations in Trex2011, and determined that the Company’s share price, minimize dilution, or conserve shares available for grant.

As discussed below,respective elements of actual compensation compared against the Compensation Committee elected in October 2010 not to undertake an executive compensation benchmarking survey for 2010. However, DolmatConnell did update Trex Company’s list of peer group companies based upon the criteria discussed above. The revised list of peer companies iswere as follows:

Actual total cash compensation was substantially below median for 2011 because the executive officers only received 16.15% of their target payout for the annual cash incentive plan due to financial performance that was substantially below plan in 2011. This again highlights the Company’s focus on pay for performance.

In order to gauge performance in the context of total stockholder return or “TSR”, Hay Group compared the Company’s TSR to the peer group companies and determined that the Company substantially outperformed relative to the peer group. Hay Group analyzed both 1- and 3-year TSR and their analysis showed that the Company’s performance ranked at the 85^th and 93^rd percentile of the peer group, respectively (as of October 30, 2012).

23The Company’s TSR in 2013 continued to outperform relative to the peer group. During calendar year 2013, the Company’s stock price increased by 113.6%, which was well in excess of the average of the peer group for 2013, which was 56.3%, and the S&P 500, which was 32.4%.

Short-Term Compensation ElementsBase Salary

We believe that it is necessary to provide short-term compensation elements, because short-term incentives provide an immediate benefit paid in cash based on the achievement of immediate results, thereby promoting the achievement of short-term goals.

Base Salary

What: Base salary is annual fixed cash compensation, and is a standard element of compensation, necessary to attract and retain talent.talent, and provides fixed compensation that an employee can rely upon for his or her ordinary living expenses. Base salaries aresalary is the onlyprincipal non-variable element of Trexthe Company’s total compensation.compensation program.

Why: Base salaries reflect each named executive officer’s responsibilities, the impact of each named executive officer’s position, and the contributions each named executive officer delivers to Trexthe Company.

How Determined: SalariesBase salaries are determined by competitive levels in the market, based on Trexthe Company’s peer group and the results of executive compensation surveys, for executives with comparable responsibilities and job scope, as well as Trex Company’s internal equity considerations. Salaryscope. Base salary increases, if any, are based on individual performance, market conditions and company performance. To gauge market conditions, the Compensation Committee evaluates the peer group and market data compiled by its consultant. Base salaries are set following review of thesethis data upon consideration of the named executive officer’s experience, tenure, performance, and potential.

In December 2009, based in part upon the executive compensation benchmarking2012, as discussed above, Hay Group completed by DolmatConnell in November 2009 and the target levels for base salary set forth above, the Compensation Committee set the named executive officer’s base salaries for 2010. In October 2010, the Compensation Committee elected not to undertake an executive compensation benchmarking survey for 2010, and in December 2010,study of the Company’s executive compensation. The Compensation Committee approved a 2.5% increase in the 20112013 base salaries for the named executive officers (which did not include Mr. Gerhard and Mr. Zambanini at the time). Hay Group advised the Compensation Committee that such percentage increase was slightly below planned 2013 fiscal year increases in the industrial industry of 3%.

In December 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a 2.5% increase in the 2014 base salaries for the named executive officers, other than Mr. Kaplan. For 2009Gerhard and 2010, theMr. Zambanini, who each received a 5% increase.

Annual Cash Incentive Plan Compensation

What: The annual cash bonusincentive plan provides named executive officers with the opportunity to gain financially from the Company’s financial results that they help to generate annually. The annual cash bonusincentive plan provides for a cash bonuspayment based on the achievement of annual corporate financial goals.

Why:We believe that it is necessary to provide annual incentive compensation, because short-term incentives provide an immediate benefit paid in cash based on the achievement of immediate results, thereby promoting the achievement of short-term goals. A performance-based bonusincentive motivates management to enhancefocus on the short-term (one fiscal year) financial resultsgoals in specific targeted areas determined at the beginning of each year.

Program Mechanics: For the named executive officers, Trexthe Company provides an annual cash bonusincentive payment based 75% on achievement of a certain earnings per share, or “EPS”pretax income target, and 25% on achievement of a certain free cash flow target.target, in each case excluding any items determined by the Compensation Committee to be extraordinary and not considered in the establishment of such targets. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant and equipment. The pretax income and free cash flow financial performance metrics were chosen because the Compensation Committee determined that they would best measure the Company’s financial performance for the fiscal year and align managements’ financial incentives to those of its stockholders. Management deems pre-tax earnings to be the key factor to increasing shareholder value, which is indicative of its 75% weighting toward the annual cash incentive plan. Management believes that free cash flow complements pre-tax earnings to ensure the Company’s operating and strategic objectives are being adequately funded as a result of meeting its profit objectives, which is indicative of its 25% weighting towards the annual cash incentive plan. The free-cash-flow financial metric also serves as a guideline to meeting management’s target capital structure.

The Compensation Committee uses a sliding scale grid to determine both the EPSpretax income portion of the annual cash bonusincentive and the free cash flow portion of the annual cash bonus.incentive. The minimum threshold for any payment under both the EPSpretax income element and the free cash flow element of the annual cash bonusincentive plan for 20102013 was 50%80% of the respective targets, which would result in a payout of 50% of the target payment, and the maximum paymentpayout was capped at 200% of the target payment if 200%120% or more of the target was achieved. BetweenThese

26

performance ranges were selected based upon the minimumCompany’s business judgment while acknowledging the potential variability in results given some of the unique challenges in our business. Each year, the Company determines its performance ranges based upon the best available information and makes an informed decision as to where the threshold, target and maximum performance levels should be set. As explained in more detail below, these performance ranges were established for the maximum payout, the amounts in the grids generally change linearly in proportional amounts.2013 plan year.

Once calculated, the targetTarget awards are expressed as a percentage of the named executive officer’s base salary. Cash bonusincentive targets for 20102013 were 100% for the CEO, and 60% to 70%75% for the other named executive officers, depending on the named executive officer’s grade level. The total award to any single named executive officer was capped at 200% of the named executive officer’s targeted percentage of salary.

Determination of Target Levels. The Compensation Committee believes that using pretax income and free cash flow financial targets as the basis for the executive annual cash incentive plan effectively aligns executive interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. An annual cash incentive can be earned if the Company meets its financial goals as measured using pretax income and free cash flow as adjusted to reflect core operating performance. The annual financial objectives are contained within the Company’s annual financial plan, which is approved by the Board each December prior to the start of the new fiscal year. The Company’s financial-metric based approach established for the annual cash incentive plan applies to the broader management team as well as the executive officers to ensure that there is consistency with the essence of the “pay for performance” structure of the incentive plan.

Calculations of EPSPretax Income Target and Payout for 20102013. For the 20102013 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee set target EPSpretax income at $0.33.$42,414,000, which matched the Company’s internal 2013 Financial Plan. The Compensation Committee considered this target challenging given the set of circumstances including the macro-economic and competitive environments known at the time. In addition, the 2013 pre-tax income target was substantially higher (357%) than the 2012 pretax income target because the Compensation Committee believed the Company was well positioned for substantial growth in pretax earnings.

The Compensation Committee specifically defined the pretax income target to exclude any items determined by the Compensation Committee to be extraordinary and not considered in the establishment of such target. To illustrate the sliding scale grid, grid:

Numbers falling within the ranges above are interpolated on a straight line basis.

TheAs stated above, the Compensation Committee agreed to exclude from the actual EPSpretax income calculation for 20102013 certain chargesitems that it determined were extraordinary and credits to income that were not considered in the establishment of the EPSpretax income target for the year. The net effect ofFor 2013, the adjustment wasCommittee agreed to increase the EPS for incentive purposes by $1.24 from reported EPS of ($.66) to $.58. The adjustments were as follows: (a)exclude an increase to the warranty reserve for decking material manufactured at Trex Company’s Nevada plant prior to mid-2006,2007, of $.96, (b) an impairment$20,000,000, a $1,971,000 charge taken on our joint ventureassociated with the settlement of a class action against the Company related to mold growth and color variation/fading, and a $1,066,000 million charge related to subleased office space in Dulles, Virginia. The Compensation Committee excluded these items because they were not included in the 2013 Financial Plan which

The Compensation Committee concluded that it would not be appropriate to penalize management for recycling waste polyethylenethese items when they were not considered in Spain, of $.16, and (c) one-halfthe establishment of the pretax income target and given that they principally relate to product sold and actions taken prior to the current senior management team assuming responsibility in early 2008.

Given that management would not receive any additional incentive compensation for the 2014 year as a result of the target.increase in sales (in that they were included in the Financial Plan), the Compensation Committee decided that the associated charge should not reduce incentive compensation for 2013.

The net effect of the adjustments described in the two preceding paragraphs was to increase pretax income for 2013 for incentive purposes by $24,487,000 from $24,049,000 to $48,536,000. This 167%equated to 114.4% of target, which resulted in a payment multiple of 171.6%. This percentage was then multiplied by 75%, which is the percent weight given to the EPSpretax target portion of the annual cash bonus,incentive, to equal 125.25%128.7% for EPSpretax income achievement.

Calculations of Free Cash Flow Target and Payout for 2010.2013. For the 20102013 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee set target free cash flow at $35 million.$34,909,000, which matched the Company’s 2013 Financial Plan. Similar to the pretax income target, this was substantially higher (83%) than the 2012 free cash flow target. The Compensation Committee believed the Company’s growth in earnings would also result in a substantial increase in free cash flow.

The Compensation Committee specifically defined the free cash flow target to exclude any items determined by the Compensation Committee to be extraordinary and not considered in the establishment of such target. To illustrate the sliding scale grid, grid:

Numbers falling within the ranges above are interpolated on a straight line basis.

As stated above, the Compensation Committee agreed to exclude from the actual free cash flow achievedcalculation for 2013 certain items that it determined were extraordinary and not considered in 2010the establishment of the free cash flow target for the year. For 2013, actual reported free cash flow was $9.2 millionadversely affected by a $1,466,000 adjustment for excess tax benefits related to the exercise of SARs and options and the vesting of restricted stock that occurred as a result of an increase in the share price from the date the original awards were granted. Such adjustment had no effect on overall total cash flow for 2013 since an offsetting adjustment was included in the “financing” section of the cash flow statement. Given that actual cash flow was not affected by this adjustment and given that such adjustment was not considered in the establishment of the free cash flow target, the Compensation Committee concluded that it would not be appropriate to penalize management for this adjustment. In addition, the Compensation Committee excluded from the free cash flow calculation the amount

28

of actual cash spending related to the warranty reserve for decking material manufactured at Trex Company’s Nevada plant prior to 2007 above the provision for such spending included in the 2013 free cash flow target. The amount excluded was $1,575,000. The Compensation Committee concluded that it would not be appropriate to penalize management for spending on this item in excess of the provision included in the plan given that it relates to product sold and actions taken prior to the current senior management team assuming responsibility in early 2008.

The net effect of the adjustments described in the preceding paragraph was to increase free cash flow for 2013 for incentive purposes by $3,041,000 from $32,511,000 to $35,552,000. This equated to 101.8% of target, which resulted in no bonus payouta payment multiple of 108.5%. This percentage then multiplied by 25%, which is the percent weight given to the cash flow portion of the annual cash incentive, to equal 27.1% for free cash flow.flow achievement.

This blended rate was then multiplied by the cash bonusincentive target for each executive officer, as described above. Actual payouts to each named executive officer, as a percentage of base salary, were as follows:were:

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation Elements

We believe that long-term equity incentive compensation elements provideprovides appropriate motivational tools to achieve certain long-term company goals. The long-term equity incentive programcompensation plan is designed to align named executive officers’ interests with those of stockholders, motivate the named executive officer team to achieve key financial goals and reward superior performance. The design of the program helps to reduce turnover and to retain the knowledge and skills of Trexthe Company’s valued employees. In structuring the amount of long-term equity incentive compensation awards, the Compensation Committee seeks to balance such awards and the interests of Trexthe Company’s stockholders under a policy that moderates the dilutive effects of annual equity-based awards against the need to provide attractive and competitive incentive compensation.

Under the long-term equity incentive compensation plan of the Company for grants in 2013, the grants consisted of 50% Stock Appreciation Rights, or “SARs” and 50% time-based restricted shares.

In October 2012, the Compensation Committee modified the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation plan, effective for awards made beginning in 2014. In developing and approving these modifications, the Compensation Committee consulted with Hay Group, which reviewed the proposed modifications, and advised the Compensation Committee that such modified plan was consistent with market data utilizing the Company’s peer group and various market studies undertaken by Hay Group. Beginning with the 2014 awards, SARs have been replaced with performance-based restricted shares, which will vest equally over a 3-year period, with each year’s vesting based on achievement against target earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or “EBITDA”, for 1 year, cumulative 2 years and cumulative 3 years, respectively.

26SARs, time-based restricted shares, and performance-based restricted shares are described in detail below.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). Stock Appreciation Rights, or “SARs,” are grants which, upon exercise, give the holder the right to receive the net appreciation in market value of a specified number of shares of our common stock over a grant price. Upon exercise, the net appreciation over the base price is settled in an equivalent number of common shares valued on the exercise date. SARs are similar to stock options but are less dilutive because only a net number of shares are issued. With respect to SARs, the grant price is the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on the grant date. The performanceSARs have a three-year vesting period, vesting one-third each year. The number of Trex Company also will significantly affectSARs issued is based on the approved target dollar amount of SARs to be awarded, divided by the value of one SAR, which is equal to the Black-Scholes value of an equivalent stock option.

SARs motivate executive efforts to achieve results that produce long-term incentive awardsincreases (since executives have up to executives. SARs, one10 years to exercise their SARs) in common stock market price. The three-year SAR vesting period encourages named executive officers to work with a long-term view of the components of Trex Company’s performance and reinforces their long-term incentive compensation, will haveaffiliation with the Company. Named executive officers receive value in the SAR grants only if Trex Company’s stockwhen the share price increases above the grant price. The remaining componentprice, which strengthens their alignment with stockholder interests.

SARs were granted in February 2013 as part of Trex Company’s long-term incentive compensation, time-based restricted shares, will be of greater value if Trex Company performs well and its stock price increases.

In 2009, the Compensation Committee approved changes to the long-term equity incentive program to conditiongrant. As stated above, effective with the awardgrants made in 2014, SARs have been replaced by “performance-based restricted shares”, as further described below.

Time-Based Restricted Shares. Time-based restricted shares are Company common stock that cannot be sold or transferred during the vesting period. The restricted shares have a three-year vesting period, vesting one-third each year. The number of restricted shares in 2010issued is based on the attainmentapproved target dollar amount of positive EPS for 2009, withrestricted stock to be awarded, divided by the award of SARs not being conditioned upon the attainment of any company performance target. When making this adjustment, the Compensation Committee reassessed the naturefair market value of the SARs, and decided that SARs are “performance based” by definition. In other words, when SARs are granted, the strike price is the market priceCompany’s common stock on the date of the grant. If Trex

30

Time-based restricted shares facilitate retention by providing value if the named executive officer remains with the Company does not perform satisfactorily over the vesting period. In addition, time-based restricted stock provides immediate alignment with stockholders through current stock ownership, and the potential for future growth.

Performance-Based Restricted Shares. Performance-based restricted shares are similar to time-based restricted shares, but the number of share that will vest, if any, is based on Company financial performance. The performance-based restricted shares have a three-year vesting period, vesting one-third each year based on target earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or “EBITDA,” for 1 year, cumulative 2 years and cumulative 3 years, respectively.

With respect to each vesting, the number of shares that will vest will be between 0% and 200% of the SARs, which is 10 years, the SARs will not obtain any value.target number of shares. The Compensation Committee feltwill use a sliding scale to determine the percentage of the target shares that will vest each year. The minimum threshold for any vesting will be 80% of the EBITDA target, which will result in a payout of 50% of the target vesting, and the maximum payment will be capped at 200% of the target vesting if 120% or more of the target is achieved. Between the minimum threshold and the maximum payout, the number of restricted shares to vest will change in a linear fashion. The target number of performance-based restricted shares issued is based on the approved target dollar amount of such shares to be awarded, divided by the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

In addition to facilitating retention, performance-based restricted shares also more closely align the long-term equity incentive compensation plan with the Company’s pay for performance philosophy. The number of shares that will vest each year is contingent upon performance against pre-determined EBITDA targets. If the Company achieves less than 80% of the target for any year, no shares will vest. This vesting condition encourages named executive officers to work with a long-term view of the Company’s performance and reinforces their long-term affiliation with the Company.

The award agreements for both time-based restricted shares and performance-based restricted shares provide that if it conditioneda participant’s employment with the grantCompany is terminated due to death, permanent and total disability, retirement, by the Company without “cause,” or by the participant with “good reason” (with “cause” and “good reason” being defined in the award agreements), any unvested restricted shares held by a participant at termination will vest (with performance-based restricted shares vesting at target levels).

2013 Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation Awards. Under the long-term equity incentive compensation plan of the Company for grants in 2013, the grants consisted of 50% SARs and 50% time-based restricted shares. Although the Company has replaced SARs with performance-based restricted shares for grants starting in 2014, the Company believes the use of SARs onand time-based restricted shares in 2013 did balance the achievementneeds of a certain EPS target, it was effectively making SARs subject to twothe Company between retention and performance based standards.and aligns the named executive officers with stockholders given that any value ultimately recognized is dependent upon the value of the Company’s stock.

The target levels for the 20102013 grants were the same as in 2009: 200% of base salary for the CEO and 115% to 135% of base salary for the other named executive officers, depending on the officer’s grade level. In the event Trex Company achieved positive EPS for the 2009 fiscal year, the awards would be equal to 100% of the target level, and were split evenlyequally between restricted shares and SARs. If Trex Company did not achieveThe award of restricted shares in 2013 was conditioned on the attainment in 2012 of positive EPS for 2009,pretax earnings, excluding certain items determined by the awards wouldCompensation Committee to be equal to 50% of the target level,extraordinary and would be entirely comprised of SARs.

(The Compensation Committee considers that SARs are “performance based” by definition in that the value of SARs are dependent on an increase in the share price from the date of grant of the SAR to the date of its exercise.) The Company did earn positive pretax earnings in 2012, so the restricted stock awards were made at 100% of target split evenly between restricted shares and SARs.levels.

Actual payoutsawards to each named executive officer of long-term equity awardsincentive compensation in February 2010,2013, as a percentage of base salary, split evenly between restricted shares and SARs, were as follows:

The Compensation Committee retains discretion to adjust the target percentage award based upon each named executive officer’s current performance and anticipated future contribution to Trex Company’s results, as well as upon the amount and terms of equity-based awards previously granted to the named executive officer by Trex Company. The Compensation Committee did not make any discretionary adjustments to a named executive’s target percentage award, and has not done so for any of the executive officers in any of the years reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

This portfolio of long-term equity instruments serves to provide aaccomplished key goals of the Company. A strong incentive to increase the share price is provided through the SARs, while there is a strong retention focus through time-based restricted shares, andshares. In addition, this approach achieved a more moderate dilutive impact than providing only SARs, in that use of full-value vehicles such as restricted shares requires fewer shares to provide equivalent value to the executives.

The Compensation Committee believes that the approach for the 20102013 grants of long-term incentive compensation builds upon its pay-for-performance philosophy and incorporates the growing prevalence in the marketplace of an incentive approach that provides a balance between different long-term incentive vehicles. Further, the grant of restricted shares is intended to create greater alignment between the interests of stockholders and management by providing senior management with direct ownership in Trexthe Company, including the downside risk to the value of the equity, and also serves as a retention incentive. In this way, the restricted shares provide additional and different incentives than the SARs granted to named executive officers.

With respect to2014 Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation Awards. As stated above, under the long-term equity awards madeincentive plan of the Company for grants in February 2011,2014, the program was identical to the programgrants consisted of 50% time-based restricted shares and 50% performance-based restricted shares.

Actual payouts to each named executive officer of long-term equity awards in February 2011,2014, as a percentage of base salary, split evenly between time-based restricted shares and performance-based restricted shares, were as follows:

With respect to long-term equity awards to be made in 2012, the program will be identical to the program for the 2010 and 2011 awards.

The Compensation Committee regularly makes its yearlyannual long-term equity incentive grants to named executive officers at its February meeting, with the grant date being the date of the Compensation Committee meeting at which such equity grants are approved. TrexThe Company does not time the grant of equity awards in coordination with the release of material non-public information.

The Compensation Committee retains discretion to adjust the target percentage award based upon each named executive officer’s current performance and anticipated future contribution to the Company’s results, as well as upon the amount and terms of equity-based awards previously granted to the named executive officer by the Company. The Compensation Committee did not make any discretionary adjustments to a named executive’s target percentage award, and has not done so for any of the executive officers in any of the years reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)Retention Agreements

What: SARsOn July 24, 2012, the Company entered into retention agreements with Mr. Kaplan, Mr. Cline, Mr. Reese and Mr. Gupp pursuant to which the Company granted restricted shares and agreed to pay cash retention payment awards, with the restricted stock vesting and the cash payment being made only if certain retention conditions are grantsmet.

The Company entered into these retention agreements with Mr. Kaplan, Mr. Cline and Mr. Reese in order to ensure business continuity and orderly transition in the future of their successors. Each of such recipients is age 60 or older, and the Board was concerned about the risk that each recipient would retire from the Company on or around the same time. In addition to retirement concerns, the Board also recognized that this group of executives has a long and successful track record together and the possibility exists that all could leave the Company at the same time for other opportunities. The Company entered into a retention agreement with Mr. Gupp because of his long-time involvement in the legal matters specified in his retention agreement, and the risk to the Company should Mr. Gupp leave the Company prior to the resolution of such matters.

We believe that these retention payments are in the best interests of stockholders as the current management team has been instrumental in guiding the Company through legacy challenges and issues which preceded their employment. Further, these executives have provided substantial returns to stockholders in the form of stock price appreciation since 2008 and have provided a foundation for sustainable growth moving forward.

33

The amount and form of the retention payments were determined with assistance from Hay Group, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, who provided recent trends and examples of prevailing market practices for similarly-sized companies that were faced with similar retention challenges. The Compensation Committee used Hay Group’s analysis in determining the most efficient and effective form of retention vehicles (a combination of cash and restricted stock) and level of retention awards that would maximize the probability of retaining these named executive officers through the desired period of time. We believe that the form and level of retention payment are consistent with industry and market practices and are best suited given the Company’s short- and long-term business objectives and strategy.

The retention agreements for Mr. Kaplan, Mr. Cline and Mr. Reese are substantially similar in form and provide that in the event the recipient is actively employed by the Company on August 16, 2015, January 1, 2017, and June 15, 2017, for Mr. Kaplan, Mr. Cline and Mr. Reese, respectively, the restricted stock will vest, and the cash payment will be made, to such recipient. The Retention Agreement for Mr. Gupp provides that the restricted stock will vest, and the cash payment will be made, upon exercise, giveresolution of certain legal matters currently being managed by Mr. Gupp, provided that the holderearliest that the right to receivevesting and payment could be made is August 16, 2015, and further provided that if Mr. Gupp is still actively employed by the net appreciation in marketCompany on August 16, 2019, the vesting and payment shall be made regardless of the status of the specified legal matters.

The aggregate value of the retention award for each of the recipients was two times his then current base salary and target annual cash incentive, with 50% of such amount being reflected in restricted shares and 50% of such amount being reflected in a specifiedcash payment. The value as of grant date and number of shares of our common stock over a base price. Upon exercise, the net appreciation over the base price is settled in an equivalent number of common shares valued on the exercise date. SARs are similar to stock options but are less dilutive because only a net number of shares are issued. With respect to SARs, the grant price is(based upon the closing market price of the stock on the grant date) of restricted shares that will vest, and the cash payment that will be paid, if the retention conditions are met, are as follows:

Under these Guidelines, each executive officer is required to own and hold, as a minimum, that number of shares of the Company’s common stock onhaving a market value of at least a stated multiple of the NYSE on the grant date.executive

2834

Why: SARs motivate executive efforts to achieve results that produce long-term increases (up to 10 years) inofficer’s base salary. The stated multiple for the Chief Executive Officer is 3, for a Senior Vice President is 1.5 and for a Vice President is 1. For purposes of the Guidelines, common stock market price, because, ifincludes shares of common stock no matter how acquired (i.e., vesting of restricted shares or purchased on the stock price does not increase,open market), unvested time-based restricted shares and unvested performance-based restricted shares at target levels.

How DeterminedAnti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy: The number of SARs issued is based on the approved target dollar amount of SARs to be awarded, divided by the value of one SAR, which is equal to the Black-Scholes value of an equivalent stock option.

Program Mechanics: Trex Company grants SARs atThe Board adopted in October 2013, on a price equalvoluntary basis and in advance of final Dodd-Frank Act hedging rules, a policy that prohibits our executive officers from purchasing any financial instrument or entering into any transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the fair market value of TrexCompany equity (including, but not limited to, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or exchange funds), or pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise encumbering Company equity as collateral for indebtedness.

Clawback Policy

The Board adopted in October 2013, on a voluntary basis and in advance of final Dodd-Frank Act “clawback” (or compensation recovery) rules, a “clawback” policy with respect to incentive-based compensation. The policy provides that in the event of a restatement of the Company’s common stock onfinancial results due to any fraudulent actions or executive misconduct, the Compensation Committee is entitled to recover from executive officers any incentive-based compensation that would not otherwise have been awarded to such persons under the as-restated financial statements during the three years preceding the date of the grant. The three-year SAR vesting period, in which one-third of the award vests on each anniversary of the grant date until fully vested, encourages named executive officers to work with a long-term view of Trex Company’s performance and reinforces their long-term affiliation with Trex Company. Named executive officers also receive value in the SAR grants only when the share price increases above the grant price, which strengthens their alignment with stockholder interests. The Summary Compensation Table below includes the SAR grants to the named executive officers approved by the Compensation Committee in 2010.

Restricted Shares

What: Restricted shares are Trex Company common stock that cannot be sold or transferred during the vesting period. The restricted shares each have a three-year vesting period, vesting one-third each year.

Why: Restricted shares facilitate retention by providing guaranteed in-the-money value if the named executive officer remains with Trex Company over the vesting period. In addition, time-vested restricted stock provides immediate alignment with stockholders through current stock ownership. The value of current stock ownership may rise or fall and therefore can be more effective and provide a more immediate retention tool than the possibility of long-term future rewards.

How Determined: The number of restricted shares issued is based on the approved target dollar amount of restricted stock to be awarded, divided by the fair market value of Trex Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

Program Mechanics: The Summary Compensation Table below includes the restricted share grants to the named executive officers approved by the Compensation Committee in 2010.

Exceptions to Long-Term Incentive Grants

Nearly all of the long-term incentive grants are determined and granted by the Compensation Committee at its February meeting. However, certain exceptions to this policy exist, with respect to the new hire of an executive officer, with the grant date being the hiring date, and with respect to extraordinary retention awards of restricted shares. No such awards were made to the named executive officers in 2010.restatement.

Perquisites

What: TrexThe Company maintainsprovides a limited number of benefit programs availableperquisites to its named executive officers. The perquisites and benefits offered to the named executive officers in 20102013 include a monthly company car allowance, and a country club membership for the CEO, and the value of Trex product installed at the home of the CEO (such deck being utilized by Trex Company for advertising and marketing, and to host investor, Board of Director and other Company events).CEO.

Why: The Compensation Committee believes that the benefits Trexthe Company and the named executive officers derivederived from these benefitsperquisites more than offset their costs to Trexthe Company. The personal benefits are

29

considered to constitute a part of Trexthe Company’s overall program and are presented in this light as part of the total compensation package approved by the Compensation Committee at the time of an executive officer’s hiring or promotion, as part of the Compensation Committee’s review of each named executive officer’s annual total compensation, and in compensation discussions with named executive officers.

How Determined: The Compensation Committee oversees the design, implementation and administration of all Trexthe Company benefit programs.programs, including perquisites. The amounts relating to these perquisites are disclosed in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table below. The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its consultant, periodically reviews the cost and prevalence of these programs to ensuredetermine whether they are in line with competitive practices and are warranted based upon business needs and the contributions of the named executive officers.

Program Mechanics: The monthly company car allowance is $1,000 for the CEO and $750 for the other named executive officers. The country club membership for the CEO included payment of an annual membership at a local country club in order to promote good community and business relationships. The Trex product installed at the home of CEO was provided by Trex Company because such deck is utilized by Trex Company for advertising and marketing, and to host investor, Board of Director and other Company events. Additional information about these perquisites can be found in the All Other Compensation Table below.

Does Trexthe Company have Severance or Change-in-Control Agreements with its named executive officers?

TrexThe Company has entered into change-in-control agreements with the named executive officers to provide certain cash payments to the officers upon a termination following a change in control, which we refer to asis in the form of a “double trigger.” In addition, such agreements provide for an acceleration of equity grants upon a change in control. Change-in-control agreements are designed to protect executives in the event of a change in control, and provide security for executives against sudden or arbitrary termination in connection with a change in control. TheIn addition, the CEO has an employment agreement, and the other named executive officers have severance agreements, which provide for certain benefits upon an involuntary termination. These agreements promote retention of high-performing individuals and also assist in recruiting and retaining key employees by providing competitive arrangements. The provisions of each severance agreement were determined by analysis of peer group and market trends and practices and are set at competitive levels with industry practice.

For a discussion of these arrangements, including the estimated quantification of these amounts, see theElements of Post Termination Compensation discussion following thisCompensation Discussion and Analysis.Analysis.

How do our decisions regarding each element affect decisions regarding the other elements?

The Compensation Committee considers total cash and equity compensation when setting the compensation of executive officers. In doing so, the Compensation Committee considers the retention value of the long-term equity currently held by the executive. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee may decide to adjust one or more elements of an executive’s total compensation. The Compensation Committee aims to provide competitive total direct compensation and assesses an executive’s total compensation package when looking at the executive’s competitive standing relative to the market. Additionally, the Compensation Committee seeks to provide a competitive compensation mix, with discretion depending on factors deemed relevant to the Compensation Committee, such as individual performance, internal equity, and historical pay practices. Certain compensation decisions may specifically affect other elements of compensation. For example, because potential annual cash bonusincentive and long term equity incentive payouts are based on the executive’s base salary, increases in base salary also increase the amount of such payouts.

What are the tax and accounting considerations that factor into decisions regarding executive compensation?

We consider tax and accounting implications in determining our compensation programs.

Policy on Deductibility of Named Executive Officer Compensation.In evaluating compensation program alternatives, the Compensation Committee considers the potential impact on Trexthe Company of Section 162(m) of

30

the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) eliminates the deductibility of compensation over $1 million paid to the CEO and three other most highly-compensated named executive officers (other than the CFO)CEO), excluding “performance-based compensation.” Compensation programs generally will qualify as performance-based if compensation is based on pre-established objective performance targets, the programs’ material features have been approved by stockholders, and there is no discretion to increase payments after the performance targets have been established for the performance period.

To the extent a named executive officer would otherwise earn over $1 million in compensation in any calendar year, the Compensation Committee will endeavorgenerally endeavors to maximize deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent practicable while maintaining a competitive, performance-based compensation program. However, tax consequences including, but not limited to, tax deductibility, are subject to many factors (such as changes in the tax laws and regulations or interpretations thereof and the timing and nature of various decisions by officers regarding stock options) that are beyond the control of either the Compensation Committee or Trexthe Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that it is important for it to retain maximum flexibility in designing compensation programs that meet its stated objectives and fit within the Compensation Committee’s guiding principles. Finally, based on the amount of deductions Trex Company can take each year,Also, the actual impact of the loss of deduction for compensation paid to the CEO and the other three most highly compensated executives over the $1 million limitation may be small and

36

have a de minimis impact on Trexthe Company’s overall tax position. For all of the foregoingthese and other reasons, the Compensation Committee, while considering tax deductibility as one of its factorsa factor in determining compensation, will not limit compensation to those levels or types of compensation that will be deductible. The Compensation Committee will consider alternative forms of compensation, consistent with its compensation goals that preserve deductibility.
