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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Why is the Company proposing changes to the Certificate of Incorporation?
Following our transformative merger with the Industrials business of Ingersoll-Rand plc, our Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors evaluated our corporate governance practices, taking into consideration the views held by the investment community and our commitment to re-energizing our focus around environmental, social and governance initiatives. As a result of this evaluation, we have several proposals on the ballot that would result in our corporate governance being more aligned with investment community best practices and expand the rights of our stockholders, including amendments to our certificate of incorporation that would:
de-classify our Board of Directors and provide for the annual election of all of our directors;
eliminate the requirement for a supermajority vote of our stockholders to amend our certificate of incorporation; and
eliminate the requirement for a supermajority vote of our stockholders to amend our Bylaws.
For additional discussion of the rationale behind these proposed amendments, see “Proposal No. 1-Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify the Board of Directors and Provide for the Immediate Annual Election of All Directors,” “Proposal No. 2-Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Supermajority Vote to Amend Certificate of Incorporation and to Make a Corresponding Change to the Title of Article V” and “Proposal No. 3-Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Supermajority Vote for Stockholders to Amend Bylaws.”
Why are there two proposals relating to the election of directors?
If the Declassification Proposal is approved at the Annual Meeting, promptly following such vote, we will file an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that will declassify the Board and provide for the immediate annual election of all directors. In this case, our stockholders will vote at the Annual Meeting with respect to the nominees named in the Nominee Alternative A Proposal (see “Proposal No. 6a―Election of Directors if Proposal No. 1 is Approved”). Conversely, if the Declassification Proposal is not approved, the Board of Directors will remain classified so that (a) only the four Class I director nominees named in the Nominee Alternative B Proposal will stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting and (b) directors currently serving in Class II and Class III will continue to serve as directors until their respective terms expire at the 2022 and 2023 annual meetings, respectively, or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal (see “Proposal No. 6b—Election of Directors if Proposal No. 1 is Not Approved”). When you submit your proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting, you should provide your voting instructions with respect to both Alternative Nominee Proposals. If you submit your proxy without providing instructions with respect to one or both of the Alternative Nominee Proposals and such Alternative Nominee Proposal is voted on at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted with respect to such Alternative Nominee Proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors.
Who is entitled to vote?
Stockholders as of the close of business on April 20, 20212022 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 406,123,328 shares of common stock outstanding. You have one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date, including shares:
Held directly in your name as “stockholder of record” (also referred to as “registered stockholder”);
Held for you in an account with a broker, bank or other nominee (shares held in “street name”). Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and instead must instruct the brokerage firm, bank or nominee how to vote their shares; and
Held for you by us as restricted shares (whether vested or non-vested) under any of our stock incentive plans.
What constitutes a quorum?
The holders of record of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a

quorum. Shares represented by “broker non-votes” that are present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting

TABLE OF CONTENTS

also are counted for purposes of determining a quorum. However, as described below under “How are votes counted?”, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a “broker non-vote”).
What is a “broker non-vote”?
A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares, (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at his/her discretion and (3) there is at least one other proposal on the ballot with respect to which the broker has authority to vote the shares at his/her discretion. Under current New York Stock Exchange interpretations that govern broker non-votes, each of the DeclassificationDirector Election Proposal the Supermajority Charter Amendment Elimination Proposal, the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal, the Say on Pay Proposal and the Alternative Nominee Proposals is considered a non-discretionary matter and a broker will lack the authority to vote shares at his/her discretion on such proposal. The Ratification Proposal, however, is considered a discretionary or “routine” matter and therefore, a broker will be permitted tomay exercise his/her discretion.discretion to vote for or against that proposal in the absence of your instructions.
How many votes are required to approve each proposal?
With respect to the Alternative Nominee Proposals,Director Election Proposal, each director nominee is elected at the Annual Meeting by a plurality vote,“majority vote” standard in uncontested elections, which means that for each of the director nominees, with the greatest number of shares voted “FOR” must exceed the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” such nominee for director in order to be elected (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as votes cast even if less than a majority, will be elected.either “FOR” or “AGAINST” that director’s election). There is no cumulative voting. Any incumbent director nominee who fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board in accordance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Board from time to time. In accordance with such policies and procedures, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or such other committee designated by the Board, will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject such resignation, or whether other action should be taken, and the Board will act taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s or such other committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results.
With respect to the Ratification Proposal, and the Say on Pay Proposal, approval of each such proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal.
With respect toproposal, which means that the Declassificationnumber of shares voted “FOR” the Ratification Proposal must exceed the Supermajority Charter Amendment Elimination Proposal andtotal number of shares voted “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” at the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal, approval of such proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 6623% of the voting power of all shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the proposal.Annual Meeting.

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

Proposal No. 3—Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Supermajority Vote FOR STOCKHOLDERS to Amend Bylaws
The Board of Directors is asking you to approve amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the supermajority vote requirement to amend the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”). The Certificate of Incorporation currently requires a 6623% vote for stockholders to amend the Bylaws.
Consistent with the evaluation undertaken by the Board of Directors as described under Proposal Nos. 1 and 2, our Board of Directors has unanimously determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to remove the supermajority voting threshold for stockholders to amend our Bylaws as described below (the “Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment”).
The full text of the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation constituting the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment is attached as Appendix C to this Proxy Statement.
Background of the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal
We are asking you to approve amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate a supermajority vote for stockholders to amend our Bylaws and to replace such provision with a majority voting standard. As discussed further below, the Certificate of Incorporation currently requires at any time KKR beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 40% in voting power of our stock, a vote of stockholders holding at least 6623% of our outstanding share entitled to vote thereon is required for stockholders to amend, alter, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any provision of the Bylaws or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith (the “Supermajority Bylaw Amendment Provision”). As KKR currently beneficially owns less than 40% in voting power of our stock, our Bylaws can only be amended by a 6623% vote of our stockholders.
Rationale for the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Proposal
Consistent with the Board’s review of the supermajority requirement to amend the Supermajority Articles, our Board of Directors recognizes that the elimination of the Supermajority Bylaw Amendment Provision is consistent with generally held views of evolving corporate governance practices and better aligns our governance with what is considered to be governance best practices by the investor community. Our Board of Directors has listened to the views of the investor community on this issue and has also considered the limited benefits of the Supermajority Bylaw Amendment Provision to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors acknowledges that many other public companies have transitioned away from these kinds of supermajority voting provisions. In view of these considerations, our Board of Directors has unanimously determined to eliminate the Supermajority Bylaw Amendment Provision as proposed.
Description of the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment
This Proposal No. 3 proposes to amend Article V.B. of the Certificate of Incorporation to replace “6623%” with “a majority” and delete language relating to KKR which is now obsolete. As a result, if approved and implemented, the standard for stockholder approval of any future amendments to Bylaws, would be the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such matter, voting together as a single class.
The Board of Directors reserves the right to elect to abandon the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment, before or after stockholder approval of such amendments, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such amendments are no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Changes to our Bylaws Relating to the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment
In connection with the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment, the Board of Directors intends to adopt conforming amendments to the Bylaws after filing of a Certificate of Amendment implementing the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. If the Supermajority Bylaws Amendment Elimination Amendment is not approved, the Board will not adopt such Bylaw amendments.

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

Annual Independent Board Assessment
Each year, our Board of Directors and each of its committees conducts an assessment of its performance. This assessment is overseen and facilitated by an independent firm. This independent firm conducts the assessment through a survey process and communicates the results with our Board chair and the chair of each of the committees. The results are then discussed with the full Board of Directors and, if needed, actions are formulated and executed that address any areas of opportunity identified through the assessment.
Incumbent Director Qualifications
In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors’ overall service to our Company during their respective term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any relationships and transactions that might impair such directors’ independence. In addition, pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, no person shall be nominated by the Board to serve as a director after he or she has passed his or her 75th birthday, unless the Board has voted to waive the mandatory retirement age for such director at the time of nomination.
Board Structure
Our Board of Directors is led by Mr. Stavros,Reynal, our Chairman. TheChairman, and Mr. Donnelly our Lead Director. Mr. Reynal serves in a combined role of Chief Executive Officer positionand Chairman, which provides the significant advantages of our Chairman having extensive experience with the business and ongoing executive responsibility for the Company. We believe these advantages bolster the Company’s ability to execute on its strategic imperatives and deliver stockholder value. Consistent with best governance practices, we created the new Lead Director role to work closely with our Chairman. This role is currently separate fromheld by Mr. Donnelly and is designed to help coordinate the Chairman position. efforts of the independent and non-management directors to ensure objective judgment with respect to sensitive issues involving the management of the Company and, in particular, the performance of senior management.
We believe that the separationcombined role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, together with our Lead Director role and the other elements of our corporate governance structure, strikes an appropriate balance between strong and consistent leadership and independent and effective oversight of our business and affairs that enables appropriate corporate governance. The Board believes that a combined Chairman and Chief Executive role allows the Company to effectively convey its business strategy and core values to shareholders, customers, colleagues, regulators and the public in a single, consistent voice. The Board also recognizes the necessity of having a strong Lead Director with a clearly defined role and set of responsibilities where the Chairman is not independent. Their leadership is supplemented by engaged and expert committee chairs along with independent-minded, skilled and committed directors.
Our Board does not currently have a policy as to whether the role of Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate and believes that the Company and its stockholders are best served by maintaining the flexibility to determine whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions isshould be separated or combined at a given point in time in order to provide appropriate corporate governanceleadership for us at thisthat time given the then-current circumstances. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, in order to maintain the independent integrity of our Board, if the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director, the Board may appoint an independent director as Lead Director. See “Recent Governance Enhancements” above for further discussion of the Lead Director role.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

Oversight of Risk Management
The Board has extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to us and our business and accomplishes this through oversight and regular reporting by the Audit Committee, the chairman and members of which have experience in overseeing risk management strategy, including risk management related to information and cyber security. The Audit Committee represents the Board in this oversight role by periodically reviewing our accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of our financial statements, surveilling our administrative and financial controls and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and reviewing and assessing overall company risk through a formalized enterprise risk management (ERM) program led by the management team.
Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, and internal audit functions, as part of our ERM program, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses all significant areas of risk. Such review and discussion includes a comprehensive review and assessment of cybersecurity risks, other cyber risks and potential key emerging risks. The Audit Committee also reviews and assesses management’s remediation plans with respect to such risks and other relevant mitigating factors and summarizes these discussions for the Board. As part of our ERM program, management reports to the Audit Committee quarterly with respect to all significant areas of risk (including cyber risks and emerging risks), which allows the Audit Committee to closely monitor the Company’s developing risk landscape. Our head of internal audit, who is also our Chief Risk Officer, reports directly to the Audit Committee.
In addition to the oversight with respect to overall Company risk management provided by the Audit Committee, the other committees participate in the risk management process. The Compensation Committee considers, and discusses with management, management’s assessment of certain risks, including whether any risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Also, theThe Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees and evaluates programs and risks associated with Board organization, membership and structure, succession planning and corporate governance.

Diversity and Sustainability

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

Commitment to Diversity - Global Workforce
Following the Merger,In 2021, we also formalizedcontinued to strengthen our commitmentcommitments to diversity, equity and inclusion (“DE&I”) within our workforce. We made a commitment to:These commitments include:
Be a DE&I leader within our industry that mirrors the communities and customers we serve.
Leverage diversity, equity and inclusion to exceed our business goals, attract and retain the best talent and enhance our employees’ experience, and address today’s global challenges.
Cultivate diversity, promote equity and pursue a more inclusive culture that strengthens the sense of belonging for all.
We expect our employees and all individuals we associate with to uphold these aspirations with humility, integrity and respect.
In 2020, we engaged Management Leadership for Tomorrow to help solidify our strategy and identify clear initiatives to increase representation of underrepresented populations, create greater growth and advancement for all, and accelerate a culture of inclusion.
In terms of diverse representation, we establishedhave two focus areas: 1) underrepresented populations in the United States and 2) women globally. Our employee base as of December 31, 20202021 consisted of 25%16% underrepresented populations in the U.S. and our goal is to increase the percentage of underrepresented populations in our U.S. employee base to 30% by 2025. Globally, women represented as of December 31, 2020 22%2021, 22.6% of our population, which exceeded our first year target of 22.25%, and keeps us on track to reach our goal is to increase the percentage of women in our global employee population to 27%25% by 2025.
We also recently launched three initial Employee Inclusion Groups (a Black Employee Network Inclusion Group, a Veterans Inclusion Groupare making strides at increasing the number of gender diverse employees in more senior roles with our promotion rate increasing to 40.9%, surpassing our goal of 40%. In addition, 43% of our extended leadership team are gender or ethnically diverse. These advances are reflected in our year-over-year improvement in the employee engagement scores in four categories that we believe are closely connected to DE&I: belonging, growth, inclusion and a Women Inclusion Group)equal opportunity.
We have expanded our employee inclusion groups to build stronger global connections, advocate for positive change and foster an inclusive culture in the organization. We currently have nine Employee Inclusion Groups (a Black Employee Network Inclusion Group, a Veterans Inclusion Group, a Women Inclusion Group, a Hispanic/LatinX Organization of Leadership and Advancement, Four regional inclusion groups (Europe and Asia Pacific) and One DE&I council in Latin America). An executive leader sponsors each group and provides guidance to establish goals in support of our company strategies, culture and values to their global members.
In addition, we are settingcontinue to set the groundwork for inclusion by training our employees on unconscious bias and how to recognize bias in the workplace and in ourselves.ourselves and have deployed our unconscious bias training to more than 82% of our salaried employees and conducted personalized sessions to over 150 leaders on “DE&I Matters.” In 2020,2021, we also introduced acontinued our powerful initiative called “Lean into Change” where employees from across the company participatedparticipate in culturally sensitive conversations with trust and transparency.
Central to our inclusion strategy is to make all employees true owners of the Company. To that end, we also announced a process by which all new or acquired employees will receive stock in the Company after one year of employment1. We feel that the combination of a solid strategy, strong values and clear expectations, coupled with true employee ownership, provides us strong engagement and a competitive edge.

In 2020, we conducted a materiality assessment that included the input of employees, customers, stockholders, suppliers andfees billed for other stakeholders. This assessment identified energy use, product stewardship and innovation, and our employees as our most material topics. We then structured our environmental, social and governance initiatives around these material topics and deployed IRX processes to help us achieve them.
One example of these initiatives is our announcement earlier this year of aggressive corporate sustainability goals designed to reduce the impact of our operations and products on the environment, and support customers and partners in doing the same.

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

Each year, our Board of Directors and each of its committees conducts an assessment of its performance. This assessment is overseen and facilitated by an independent firm. This independent firm conducts the assessment through a survey process and communicates the results with our Board chair and the Board believe that this policy is effective given that bothchair of each of the last twocommittees. The results are then discussed with the full Board positions filled byof Directors and, if needed, actions are formulated and executed that address any areas of opportunity identified through the assessment.
Incumbent Director Qualifications
In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors’ overall service to our Company during their respective term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any relationships and transactions that might impair such directors’ independence. In addition, pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, no person shall be nominated by the Board to serve as a director after he or she has passed his or her 75th birthday, unless the Board has voted to waive the mandatory retirement age for such director at the time of nomination.
Board Structure
Our Board of Directors is led by Mr. Reynal, our Chairman, and Mr. Donnelly our Lead Director. Mr. Reynal serves in a combined role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, which provides the significant advantages of our Chairman having extensive experience with the business and ongoing executive responsibility for the Company. We believe these advantages bolster the Company’s ability to execute on its strategic imperatives and deliver stockholder value. Consistent with best governance practices, we created the new Lead Director role to work closely with our Chairman. This role is held by Mr. Donnelly and is designed to help coordinate the efforts of the independent and non-management directors to ensure objective judgment with respect to sensitive issues involving the management of the Company and, in particular, the performance of senior management.
We believe that the combined role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, together with our Lead Director role and the other elements of our corporate governance structure, strikes an appropriate balance between strong and consistent leadership and independent and effective oversight of our business and affairs that enables appropriate corporate governance. The Board were diverse candidatesbelieves that a combined Chairman and Chief Executive role allows the Company to effectively convey its business strategy and core values to shareholders, customers, colleagues, regulators and the public in a single, consistent voice. The Board also recognizes the necessity of having a strong Lead Director with a clearly defined role and set of responsibilities where the Chairman is not independent. Their leadership is supplemented by engaged and expert committee chairs along with independent-minded, skilled and committed directors.
Our Board does not currently have a policy as to whether the role of Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate and believes that 50%the Company and its stockholders are best served by maintaining the flexibility to determine whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separated or combined at a given point in time in order to provide appropriate leadership for us at that time given the then-current circumstances. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, in order to maintain the independent integrity of our Board, if the Chairman of the Board is comprised of diverse directors.
In identifying prospectivenot an independent director, candidates, the Nominating and CorporateBoard may appoint an independent director as Lead Director. See “Recent Governance Committee may seek referrals from its members, management, stockholders and other sources. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may, but need not, retain a search firm in order to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as directorsEnhancements” above for further discussion of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral. When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide a blend of skills and experience to further enhance the Board’s effectiveness.
The stockholders’ agreement described below under “Transactions with Related Persons” provides that affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis and Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) have the right to nominate to our Board a number of designees approximately equal to the percentage of voting power of all shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors collectively beneficially owned by KKR. Currently, two directors (Messrs. Stavros and Weisenbeck) nominated by KKR serve on our Board of Directors.
Ms. Centoni was first recommended for election to our Board by a third party search firm and Messrs. Forsee and White were appointed to our Board pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 30, 2019, by and among the Company, Ingersoll-Rand plc, Ingersoll-Rand U.S. HoldCo, Inc., and Charm Merger Sub Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”)
In connection with its annual nomination of a slate of nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also assess the contributions of those directors recommended for re-election in the context of the Board evaluation process and other perceived needs of the Board.
When considering whether the directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Board focused primarily on the information discussed in each of the board member’s biographical information set forth below under “Director Biographies and Qualifications”. Each of the Company’s directors possesses high ethical standards, acts with integrity and exercises careful, mature judgment. Each is committed to employing his skills and abilities to aid the long-term interests of the stakeholders of the Company. In addition, our directors are knowledgeable and experienced in one or more business, governmental, or civic endeavors, which further qualifies them for service as members of the Board. A significant number of our directors possess experience in owning and managing public and privately held enterprises and are familiar with corporate finance and strategic business planning activities that are unique to publicly traded companies like ours. See the directors’ biographical information set forth above for the important characteristics considered by our Board in determining that our directors should serve as directors of the Company.
This annual director nomination process resulted in the Board’s nomination of the ten incumbent directors named in Proposal 6a in this Proxy Statement and proposed for election by you at the upcoming Annual Meeting in the event that Proposal No. 1 is approved and, alternatively, the four incumbent Class I directors named in Proposal 6b in the Proxy Statement and proposed for election by you at the upcoming Annual Meeting in the event that Proposal No. 1 is not approved.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. Any recommendation submitted to the Secretary of the Company should be in writing and should include any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate in support of that recommendation, but must include information that would be required under the rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate and a written consent of the candidate to serve as one of our directors if elected. Stockholders wishing to propose a candidate for consideration may do so by submitting the above information to the attention of the Secretary of the Company, Ingersoll Rand Inc., 800-A Beaty Street, Davidson, North Carolina 28036.

Oversight of Risk Management
The Board has extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to us and our business and accomplishes this through oversight and regular reporting by the Audit Committee, the chairman and members of which have experience in overseeing risk management strategy, including risk management related to information and cyber security. The Audit Committee represents the Board in this oversight role by periodically reviewing our accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of our financial statements, surveilling our administrative and financial controls and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and reviewing and assessing overall company risk through a formalized enterprise risk management (ERM) program led by the management team.
Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, and internal audit functions, as part of our ERM program, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses all significant areas of risk. Such review and discussion includes a comprehensive review and assessment of cybersecurity risks, other cyber risks and potential key emerging risks. The Audit Committee also reviews and assesses management’s remediation plans with respect to such risks and other relevant mitigating factors and summarizes these discussions for the Board. As part of our ERM program, management reports to the Audit Committee quarterly with respect to all significant areas of risk (including cyber risks and emerging risks), which allows the Audit Committee to closely monitor the Company’s developing risk landscape. Our head of internal audit, who is also our Chief Risk Officer, reports directly to the Audit Committee.
In addition to the oversight with respect to overall Company risk management provided by the Audit Committee, the other committees participate in the risk management process. The Compensation Committee considers, and discusses with management, management’s assessment of certain risks, including whether any risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees and evaluates programs and risks associated with Board organization, membership and structure, succession planning and corporate governance. The Sustainability Committee assesses current aspects of the Company’s environmental, health and safety policies and performance and make recommendations to the Board of Directors and the management of the Company with regard to promoting and maintaining superior standards of performance, including processes to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and programs to manage risks relating to environmental and safety matters.
Executive Sessions
Executive sessions, which are meetings of independent members of the Board, are regularly scheduled throughout the year. At each of these meetings, Mr. Donnelly, as our independent Lead Director, presides.
Diversity and Sustainability
Sustainability constitutes a pillar of our corporate strategy and we are committed to embedding environmental, social and governance initiatives into our culture.
Commitment to Diversity - Board of Directors
A key principle of the Company’s Board member selection process is to strive to have a diverse Board of Directors. A critical factor that the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee carefully consider when assessing potential director candidates is the importance to the Company of ethnic and gender diversity in board composition. As set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board are required to consider, and to request that any search firm hired by it consider, highly qualified women and diverse candidates as part of any director search process. The
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Board’s commitment to this focus on Board diversity has resulted in a Board where five of eight current members (62%) are diverse, including two who are female and four who are ethnically diverse. In addition, Board members actively participate as mentors and panel speakers in quarterly events hosted by the Company’s inclusion groups.
Commitment to Diversity - Global Workforce
In 2021, we continued to strengthen our commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion (“DE&I”) within our workforce. These commitments include:
Be a DE&I leader within our industry that mirrors the communities and customers we serve.
Leverage diversity, equity and inclusion to exceed our business goals, attract and retain the best talent and enhance our employees’ experience, and address today’s global challenges.
Cultivate diversity, promote equity and pursue a more inclusive culture that strengthens the sense of belonging for all.
We expect our employees and all individuals we associate with to uphold these aspirations with humility, integrity and respect.
In terms of diverse representation, we have two focus areas: 1) underrepresented populations in the United States and 2) women globally. Our employee base as of December 31, 2021 consisted of 16% underrepresented populations in the U.S. and our goal is to increase the percentage of underrepresented populations in our U.S. employee base to 30% by 2025. Globally, women represented as of December 31, 2021, 22.6% of our population, which exceeded our first year target of 22.25%, and keeps us on track to reach our goal to increase the percentage of women in our global employee population to 25% by 2025.
We are making strides at increasing the number of gender diverse employees in more senior roles with our promotion rate increasing to 40.9%, surpassing our goal of 40%. In addition, 43% of our extended leadership team are gender or ethnically diverse. These advances are reflected in our year-over-year improvement in the employee engagement scores in four categories that we believe are closely connected to DE&I: belonging, growth, inclusion and equal opportunity.
We have expanded our employee inclusion groups to build stronger global connections, advocate for positive change and foster an inclusive culture in the organization. We currently have nine Employee Inclusion Groups (a Black Employee Network Inclusion Group, a Veterans Inclusion Group, a Women Inclusion Group, a Hispanic/LatinX Organization of Leadership and Advancement, Four regional inclusion groups (Europe and Asia Pacific) and One DE&I council in Latin America). An executive leader sponsors each group and provides guidance to establish goals in support of our company strategies, culture and values to their global members.
In addition, we continue to set the groundwork for inclusion by training our employees on unconscious bias and how to recognize bias in the workplace and in ourselves and have deployed our unconscious bias training to more than 82% of our salaried employees and conducted personalized sessions to over 150 leaders on “DE&I Matters.” In 2021, we continued our powerful initiative called “Lean into Change” where employees from across the company participate in culturally sensitive conversations with trust and transparency.
Central to our inclusion strategy is to make all employees true owners of the Company. To that end, we also announced a process by which all new or acquired employees will receive stock in the Company after one year of employment1. We feel that the combination of a solid strategy, strong values and clear expectations, coupled with true employee ownership, provides us strong engagement and a competitive edge.
ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2021.2022.
Although ratification is not required by our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to our stockholders for ratification because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and they are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The shares represented by your proxy will be voted for the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP unless you specify otherwise.
Audit and Non-Audit Fees
In connection with the audit of the 20202021 financial statements, we entered into an agreement with Deloitte & Touche LLP which set forth the terms by which Deloitte & Touche LLP would perform audit services for the Company.
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees for professional services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 20202021 and 20192020 and fees billed for other services rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP for those periods, all of which were approved by the Audit Committee.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN GOVERNANCE MATTERS
Our Board manages or directs the business and affairs of the Company, as provided by Delaware law, and conducts its business through meetings of the Board and four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Sustainability Committee.
Our Board evaluates the Company’s corporate governance policies on an ongoing basis with a view towards maintaining the best corporate governance practices in the context of the Company’s current business environment and aligning our governance practices closely with the interests of our stockholders.
Recent Governance Enhancements
In order to better align our corporate governance with best practices and expand the rights of our stockholders, in 2021 we implemented certain governance enhancements.
Following stockholder approval, we declassified our Board, implemented a majority voting standard in the election of directors, and replaced the supermajority voting requirements in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws with a majority voting standard in order to give our stockholders a more meaningful vote in various corporate matters.
Additionally, the Board recently approved revisions to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines creating a role of Lead Director of the Board. The Lead Director is elected by a plurality vote of the independent directors, or via unanimous vote of the independent directors if via written consent action, and serves until the Board meeting immediately following the third anniversary of appointment, provided, however, the Board may extend such term by any length up to the fifth anniversary of the Board meeting immediately following the appointment. The creation of the Lead Director role reflects the Company’s continued commitment to enhanced corporate governance best practices. The duties and responsibilities of the Lead Director are set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines which is available on our website at www.irco.com under “Investors: Governance: Governance Documents & Charters: Corporate Governance Guidelines.”
Recognizing the importance of sustainability to our Company and to our world, we established a new Sustainability Committee of our Board in October, 2021, focused on overseeing and advising the Board on the Company’s sustainability strategies and initiatives, including reviewing the overall sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and diversity, equity and inclusion strategies, initiatives and goals. We felt that a separate committee focused on these critical topics provides greater oversight and attention than simply having these matters addressed by an existing Board committee.
Our Board and management value the perspective of our stockholders and encourage stockholders to communicate with the Board as described under “―Communications with the Board” below.
Communications with the Board
As described in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, stockholders and other interested parties who wish to communicate with a member or members of the Board, including the chairperson of the Audit, Compensation, Sustainability or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the non-management or independent directors as a group, may do so by addressing such communications or concerns to the Secretary of the Company, 525 Harbor Place Drive, Suite 600, Davidson, North Carolina 28036.
Director Independence and Independence Determinations
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, a director is not independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines define independence in accordance with the independence definition in the current NYSE corporate governance rules for listed companies. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require our Board of Directors to review the independence of all directors at least annually.
In the event a director has a relationship with the Company that is relevant to his or her independence and is not addressed by the objective tests set forth in the NYSE independence definition, our Board of Directors will determine, considering all relevant facts and circumstances, whether such relationship is material.
11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Kirk E. Arnold, Elizabeth Centoni, William P. Donnelly, Gary D. Forsee, John Humphrey, Marc E. Jones and Tony L. White is independent under the guidelines for director independence set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and under all applicable NYSE guidelines, including with respect to committee membership.
Our Board also has determined that each of Messrs. Donnelly, Forsee and Humphrey is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that each of Messrs. Donnelly and Jones and Ms. Arnold is “independent” for purposes of Section 10C(a)(3) of the Exchange Act.
In sum, seven out of the eight current members of our Board of Directors have been determined to be independent and includes each director other than Mr. Reynal, our Chief Executive Officer.
Annual Independent Board Assessment
Each year, our Board of Directors and each of its committees conducts an assessment of its performance. This assessment is overseen and facilitated by an independent firm. This independent firm conducts the assessment through a survey process and communicates the results with our Board chair and the chair of each of the committees. The results are then discussed with the full Board of Directors and, if needed, actions are formulated and executed that address any areas of opportunity identified through the assessment.
Incumbent Director Qualifications
In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors’ overall service to our Company during their respective term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any relationships and transactions that might impair such directors’ independence. In addition, pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, no person shall be nominated by the Board to serve as a director after he or she has passed his or her 75th birthday, unless the Board has voted to waive the mandatory retirement age for such director at the time of nomination.
Board Structure
Our Board of Directors is led by Mr. Reynal, our Chairman, and Mr. Donnelly our Lead Director. Mr. Reynal serves in a combined role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, which provides the significant advantages of our Chairman having extensive experience with the business and ongoing executive responsibility for the Company. We believe these advantages bolster the Company’s ability to execute on its strategic imperatives and deliver stockholder value. Consistent with best governance practices, we created the new Lead Director role to work closely with our Chairman. This role is held by Mr. Donnelly and is designed to help coordinate the efforts of the independent and non-management directors to ensure objective judgment with respect to sensitive issues involving the management of the Company and, in particular, the performance of senior management.
We believe that the combined role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, together with our Lead Director role and the other elements of our corporate governance structure, strikes an appropriate balance between strong and consistent leadership and independent and effective oversight of our business and affairs that enables appropriate corporate governance. The Board believes that a combined Chairman and Chief Executive role allows the Company to effectively convey its business strategy and core values to shareholders, customers, colleagues, regulators and the public in a single, consistent voice. The Board also recognizes the necessity of having a strong Lead Director with a clearly defined role and set of responsibilities where the Chairman is not independent. Their leadership is supplemented by engaged and expert committee chairs along with independent-minded, skilled and committed directors.
Our Board does not currently have a policy as to whether the role of Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate and believes that the Company and its stockholders are best served by maintaining the flexibility to determine whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separated or combined at a given point in time in order to provide appropriate leadership for us at that time given the then-current circumstances. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, in order to maintain the independent integrity of our Board, if the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director, the Board may appoint an independent director as Lead Director. See “Recent Governance Enhancements” above for further discussion of the Lead Director role.
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

overseeing and advising the Board of Directors and management with respect to the Company’s diversity, equity and inclusion strategies, initiatives and goals.
Oversight of Risk Management
The Board has extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to us and our business and accomplishes this through oversight and regular reporting by the Audit Committee, the chairman and members of which have experience in overseeing risk management strategy, including risk management related to information and cyber security. The Audit Committee represents the Board in this oversight role by periodically reviewing our accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of our financial statements, surveilling our administrative and financial controls and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and reviewing and assessing overall company risk through a formalized enterprise risk management (ERM) program led by the management team.
Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, and internal audit functions, as part of our ERM program, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses all significant areas of risk. Such review and discussion includes a comprehensive review and assessment of cybersecurity risks, other cyber risks and potential key emerging risks. The Audit Committee also reviews and assesses management’s remediation plans with respect to such risks and other relevant mitigating factors and summarizes these discussions for the Board. As part of our ERM program, management reports to the Audit Committee quarterly with respect to all significant areas of risk (including cyber risks and emerging risks), which allows the Audit Committee to closely monitor the Company’s developing risk landscape. Our head of internal audit, who is also our Chief Risk Officer, reports directly to the Audit Committee.
In addition to the oversight with respect to overall Company risk management provided by the Audit Committee, the other committees participate in the risk management process. The Compensation Committee considers, and discusses with management, management’s assessment of certain risks, including whether any risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees and evaluates programs and risks associated with Board organization, membership and structure, succession planning and corporate governance. The Sustainability Committee assesses current aspects of the Company’s environmental, health and safety policies and performance and make recommendations to the Board of Directors and the management of the Company with regard to promoting and maintaining superior standards of performance, including processes to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and programs to manage risks relating to environmental and safety matters.
Executive Sessions
Executive sessions, which are meetings of independent members of the Board, are regularly scheduled throughout the year. At each of these meetings, Mr. Donnelly, as our independent Lead Director, presides.
Diversity and Sustainability
Sustainability constitutes a pillar of our corporate strategy and we are committed to embedding environmental, social and governance initiatives into our culture.
Commitment to Diversity - Board of Directors
A key principle of the Company’s Board member selection process is to strive to have a diverse Board of Directors. A critical factor that the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee carefully consider when assessing potential director candidates is the importance to the Company of ethnic and gender diversity in board composition. As set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board are required to consider, and to request that any search firm hired by it consider, highly qualified women and diverse candidates as part of any director search process. The
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In 2020, we conducted a materiality assessment that included the input of employees, customers, stockholders, suppliers and other stakeholders. This assessment identified energy use, product stewardship and innovation, and our employees as our most material topics. Since then, we have continued to structure our environmental, social and governance initiatives around these material topics and deployed IRX processes to help us achieve them.
In 2021, we announced our aggressive corporate sustainability goals designed to reduce the impact of our operations and products on the environment, and support customers and partners in doing the same. Achievement of these goals will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save energy, create safer water for our communities and result in reduced waste to landfill, all of which directly advance progress against our material topics. Further details with respect to our sustainability goals can be found on our website, www.irco.com, under “Investors: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).”
In addition, we continue to focus on transparency with respect to our sustainability progress through our annual sustainability reports, including our 2020 sustainability report released in July 2021, and an investor call on August 6, 2021, where we provided a mid-year update on our sustainability initiatives.
In 2021, we also implemented an enhanced environmental policy that confirms our commitment to a clean environment and compliance with environmental laws and an active environmental management program aimed at complying with existing environmental regulations and reducing the generation of pollutants in the manufacturing processes.
All of these actions resulted in substantial progress on our sustainability initiatives in 2021. At the beginning of the year, we set a three-year goal to be recognized in the top quartile of industrial companies for sustainability. We achieved this goal in little more than one year with S&P Global and Sustainalytics both recognizing us as being in the top 15% of companies within our sector.
As mentioned above, our Board and management value the perspective of our stockholders and encourage stockholders to communicate with the Board, including with respect to our diversity and sustainability initiatives, as described under “―Communications with the Board” above.
Committee Charters and Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our commitment to good corporate governance is reflected in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which describe the Board’s views on a wide range of governance topics. These Corporate Governance Guidelines are reviewed from time to time by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and, to the extent deemed appropriate in light of emerging practices, revised accordingly, upon recommendation to and approval by the Board. For example, as mentioned above, the Board upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, recently approved revisions to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines creating a role of Lead Director of the Board.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charters of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Sustainability Committee and other corporate governance information are available on the Corporate Governance page of the Investors section on our website at www.irco.com. Any stockholder also may request them in print, without charge, by contacting the Secretary of the Company, 525 Harbor Place Drive, Suite 600, Davidson, North Carolina 28036.
Code of Conduct
The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all of the Company’s employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Controller and other persons performing similar functions. The Code of Conduct sets forth our policies and expectations on a number of topics, including conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, confidentiality, compliance with laws (including insider trading laws), use of our assets and business conduct and fair dealing. This Code of Conduct also satisfies the requirements for a code of ethics, as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. The Company will disclose within four business days any substantive changes in or waivers of the Code of Conduct granted to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, or any other executive officer or director, by posting such information on our website as set forth above rather than by filing a Form 8-K.
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Code of Conduct may be found on our website at www.irco.com under Investors: Governance: Governance Documents & Charters: Code of Conduct.
Anti-Hedging Policy
The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits the Company’s directors, officers and employees from engaging in any transactions (including variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities.
Director Nomination Process
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee weighs the characteristics, experience, independence and skills of potential candidates for election to the Board. In considering candidates for the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also assesses the size, composition and combined expertise of the Board. As the application of these factors involves the exercise of judgment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a standard set of fixed qualifications that is applicable to all director candidates, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does at a minimum assess each candidate’s strength of character, mature judgment, industry knowledge or experience and his or her independence of thought and ability to work collegially with the other members of the Board.
In addition, it is the Board’s policy to endeavor to have a diverse Board of Directors representing a range of experiences in areas that are relevant to the Company’s strategy and business and, as required by our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as part of any director search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors will, and will request that any search firm hired by it also, consider highly qualified women and diverse individuals. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board implement this policy by requiring that all director searches include qualified women and diverse candidates and requiring any search firms engaged by them to include and present such candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board assess the effectiveness of this policy by evaluating the diversity of the candidates presented to them compared to the total number of candidates presented as well as whether an open Board position is in fact filled with a diverse candidate.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board believe that this policy is effective given that both of the last two Board positions filled by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board were diverse candidates and that over 60% of the Board is currently comprised of diverse directors.
In identifying prospective director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek referrals from its members, management, stockholders and other sources. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may, but need not, retain a search firm in order to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as directors of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral. When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide a blend of skills and experience to further enhance the Board’s effectiveness.
In connection with its annual nomination of a slate of nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also assess the contributions of those directors recommended for re-election in the context of the Board evaluation process and other perceived needs of the Board.

Executive Summary
Business Highlights
Despite the continued challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, direct material and logistics inflation and overall global supply chain disruptions, 2021 was a pivotal year for the Company hadCompany. We solidified our growth story as we reshaped our portfolio to focus on mission-critical flow creation technologies and high growth sustainable end markets while establishing a truly transformational yearnew capital allocation strategy designed to enable us to consistently compound earnings over time. We continued our strong operational execution where the commercial effectiveness of our team, driven by our industry-leading Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) process, yielded a backlog at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021 that was our largest ever, and positioned us well for continued strong results in 20202022.
In addition, we achieved significant accomplishments across each of our five strategic imperatives in 2021 including:
Deploy Talent. Our employees think and act like owners because they are! As a result of our two landmark all employee share grants at the time of our initial public offering and the management team delivered on its primary goalMerger, all of creating long-termour employees at such times became owners. Incredibly, the common stock granted to employees through those grants has appreciated from $250 million at time of grant to over $500 million in value for stockholders by executing on several critical strategic priorities. Key recent achievements and metrics considered byas of March 31, 2022. Furthermore, in 2021 we announced a plan to grant shares to new employees -- both those who join us as new hires or via acquisition -- to ensure that all of our employees have the Committee in arriving on its compensationchance to become owners.1 We strongly believe that being an owner helps motivate our engaged employee base to make decisions for our NEOs include:
Completedeach day that drive stockholder value creation. We can see the transformational merger between the Company and the Industrials Segment of Ingersoll Rand plc (the “Merger”)
One-year following the closeresults of the Merger, achieved total shareholder return performancepower of 42.7%ownership as our employee engagement score is up 17% over the last three years and now ranks in the top quartile of manufacturing organizations according to our engagement survey partner.
Expand Margins. By harnessing the power of IRX, we improved the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin 370 basis points since 2019, including an improvement of 160 basis points in 2021 alone. This drove 2021 record Adjusted EBITDA of $1,192 million, up 28%, which was 69% greater thanwith a margin of 23.1%.2
Operate Sustainably. We made tremendous progress on our sustainability initiatives in 2021. At the total shareholder returnbeginning of the year, we set a three-year goal to be recognized in the top quartile of industrial companies for sustainability. We achieved this goal in little more than one yearwith S&P 500 duringGlobal and Sustainalytics both recognizing us as being in the same time periodtop 15% of 25.2%companies within our sector. This again demonstrates how we can leverage the power of IRX to drive performance across a multitude of different initiatives.
Achieved annualized Merger integration cost synergies of ~$175 million1

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric and represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain noncash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss), see Annex A to this Proxy Statement. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Revenue. Comparison to 2019 is based on Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP metrics described in 2020, and approximately $65 million of annualized procurement savings executed, including approximately $30 million delivered in 2020.Annex A.

In the course of less than a year, increased the overall three-year Merger related cost synergy target by 20% from the originally announced $250 million target to $300 million2

Our unique growth enablers, including Demand Generation, IIoT, and product and service innovation, strongly contributed to COVID-19) through prudent cost controls and efficiency enhancements driven by applying Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) processes
Generated $866 million in FCF3 and completed the year with a strong balance sheet, $2.7 billion in liquidity and a net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio substantially similar to that as of the end of 2019
Continued the optimization of the Company’s portfolio of businesses through a number of highly accretive acquisitions including Albin Pump SAS and the Tuthill Vacuum and Blower Systems division of Tuthill Corporation
Announced an agreement to sell a majority interestgrowth in the Company’spast year. Our Demand Generation engine generated 3x more marketing qualified leads compared to 2018; IIoT-enabled assets were up 250% year over year; and new product innovation increased 95% in 2021. All of this helped drive record orders of $5,765 million, up 31% over 2020, and record revenues of $5,152 million, up 19% over 2020.1
Allocate Capital Effectively. We secured approximately $2 billion in gross proceeds from the divestitures of Club Car and High Pressure Solutions, segment,and redeployed over $1 billion to acquisitions in 2021, which is expected to reduce the Company’s direct exposure to the upstream oil and gas market to immaterial levels
Added Sustainability as a strategic imperative, published the Company’s first Sustainability Report, and announced significant 2030 and 2050 Environmental Goals
Awarded approximately $150represents over 6% of 2021 sales when annualized. We also repurchased $731 million in shares as part of KKR’s final equity sale, established a new $750 million share repurchase program, and initiated a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share during the fourth quarter.
Our purpose-led culture, the power of execution excellence through our IRX processes and our engaged employee base drove this level of execution on each of our strategic imperatives. This in turn led to nearly 16,000 employees who were not otherwise eligible for equity awards under the Company’s management equity plan, further establishing an ownership culture where all employees can benefit from creating value as they contribute to the Company’s success
Certain Merger-Related and One-Time Compensation Elements in 2020
Becausetotal stockholder return performance of the transformational nature of the Merger and the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, there were several one-time, non-recurring compensation actions taken in 2020. In addition, in connection with our decision to introduce three-year cliff-vesting performance-based equity awards, we made one-time “stub period” grants of time-vesting RSUs to address the annual vesting shortfall for participants in the two years leading up to the cliff vesting of the inaugural Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) award. Because these impacts are extraordinary and driven by the unique circumstances in 2020, we do not anticipate them occurring in future years. More detail on these one-time compensation elements in 2020 is set forth below:
Executive Officer and Board of Directors Compensation Reductions: In an effort to preserve cash in the interest of the long-term health and sustainability of the Company during the COVID-19 downturn, our executive officers (including each of our NEOs) and members of our Board of Directors volunteered to temporarily reduce their base salaries and cash director fees, respectively, by 15% from April 1, 2020 through the end of 2020.
One-time Transformational Merger-related Bonus: In recognition of the extraordinary efforts required to bring the Merger to completion, employees who played a significant role in the consummation of the Merger and related integration planning (including each of our NEOs) were awarded a one-time cash bonus. The bonuses were intended to serve as both reward for the efforts to bring about the Merger and associated initial synergy targets and motivation to maintain focus on the post-Merger integration and synergy obtainment,35.9% during 2021, which resulted in the 20% increase in the cost synergy target as described above. These amounts were approved by the Committee in connection with the consummation of the Merger, which was overwhelmingly supported by our stockholders. For more information see “2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail – One-Time Transformational Merger Bonuses.”

We expect to be able to realize the anticipated cost synergies of approximately $300 million by the end of year 3 after closing. We expect to incur approximately $450 million of expense in connection with both achieving these cost synergies and the associated stand-up of the new company.

FCF is defined as cash flows from operating activities minus capital expenditures. For a reconciliation of FCF to cash flows from operating activities, see Part II, Item 7.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shift of Total Compensation Mix to be more Performance-Based and Resulting Stub-Period RSUs: In response to stockholder feedback, the Company introduced performance share units to the annual equity grant mix in 2020. The resulting compensation structure is beneficial to our stockholders given that when combined with stock options, 75% of annual equity value is delivered in instruments directly tied to increasing stockholder value over the long-term. However, as a consequence of our efforts to enhance the annual equity incentive awards’ link to specific long-term performance goals, the introduction of PSUs with 3-year cliff vesting created an annual vesting shortfall for participants in the two years leading up to the inaugural PSU award being 100% vested. To address this shortfall, which we believe could have negatively impacted retention and employee engagement, we awarded one-time “Stub Period” RSUs to ensure there was no decrease in the retention value of our annual long-term incentive awards caused by the shift towards performance-vested equity. For more information see “2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail – One-Time “Stub Period” RSUs Granted in 2020”.
Merger-Related Relocation Costs: In connection with the Merger, the Company’s headquarters were moved from Milwaukee, WI to Davidson, NC. As a result, several NEOs were required to relocate. Consistent with standard market practices, the Company assumed relocation costs for impacted executives, which resulted in year-over-year increases to the “All Other Compensation” values reported in our “Summary Compensation Table”. These relocation costs were solely the result of the Merger and were a one-time expense designed to retain our top talent in light of the fact that relocating themselves and their families to Davidson, NC was a condition of continued employment. All relocation assistance was part of our standard relocation benefits offered to executives generally when relocating. Going forward, we expect perquisites to continue to be limited as they have been in the past. In addition, in September 2019, in connection with the pending Merger, we entered into retention and relocation bonus arrangements with certain non-executive officer key employees to induce them to stay with the Company and relocate to the Charlotte, NC area. This relocation bonus program included Mr. Kini, who at the time was not an executive officer and resulted in a payment of a portion of such bonus to Mr. Kini during 2020. For more information see “2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail – One-Time Merger-Related Retention and Relocation Bonus – Mr. Kini”.
The table below defines our annual target compensation structure for our NEOs (other than Ms. Weaver who was not employed by the Company for the entire year), which reflects the primary direct compensation elements that the Committee considers when evaluating executive pay (namely, base salary; target bonus; and long term equity-based incentives (referred to as “Total Direct Compensation”)). The table excludes the extraordinary one-time compensation impacts described above (namely, the one-time Merger-related bonuses; the stub-period RSUs; Mr. Kini’s one-time relocation bonus; the COVID-19-related temporary base salary reductions; and the amounts included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the SCT). The Committee views Total Direct Compensation as a better illustration of the way the Committee looks at our current NEOs’ annual pay and the implementation of the Company’s compensation philosophy84.8% greater than the total values for 2020 displayed inreturn of the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) sinceS&P 500 Industrials during the SCT is required to include extraordinary, one-time impacts.same time period of 19.4%.

Stockholder Engagement and “Say on Pay” Results
We value our stockholders’ perspectives on our business and each year proactively interact with investors through numerous engagement activities. In 2020,2021, these included our annual stockholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and various investor conferences and meetings.meetings, as well as the establishment of an investor relations newsletter distributed to stockholders on a regular basis. In addition, in August we held an investor conference call focused on ESG and our Sustainability Report, in September we held an investor conference call focused on our capital allocation strategy, and in November we held our first Investors’ Day conference since the Merger. Throughout 2020,2021, management also proactively engaged directly with our top 2040 stockholders (withwith actively managed funds)funds, representing approximately 80% of our stockholder base based on share ownership, through quarterly business updates, non-deal roadshows and investor conferences resultingconferences. This resulted in over 80300 individual investor touchpoints with these stockholders where we were able to communicate Company strategy and provide updates on business performance.long-term objectives.
At the Company’s annual meeting in May 2018,June 2021, we received substantial support for our executive compensation program, with over 99%95% of the stockholders who voted on the “say on pay” proposal approving the compensation of our NEOs, which was consistent with the positive feedback we received in discussions with our stockholders throughout the year. Based on the positive feedback we received from our major stockholders, in addition to the vote result in 2018,2021, we did not make substantive changes in 20192021 to our compensation philosophy or the overall structure of our program. In 2020, to align with the transformational nature of the Company’s merger and better align executive compensation with long-term stockholder value creation, the Committee introduced annual grants of PSUs to our executive compensation program. These grants comprise 50% of the total long-term incentive (“LTI”) opportunity for each executive officer and are based on relative total shareholder return performance measured over a three-year period. Although there was no Say on Pay vote in 2020, we believe the overwhelming support for the Merger is indicative of the support stockholders have voiced not only for our business strategy, but also for the compensation programs that support that strategy. We will continue to keep an open dialogue with our stockholders to ensure that we have a regular pulse on investor perspectives. We hold advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs every three years.years; we will hold our next advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs in 2024.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Decision-Making Process
The Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The Committee works closely with its independent consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program throughout the year. For additional information regarding the Committee see “The Board of Directors and Certain Governance Matters―Board Committees and Meetings―Compensation Committee.”
The Role of the Committee. The Committee ensures that the executive compensation program supports the Company’s business goals and aligns with stockholder interests. The Committee annually reviews NEO compensation levels by considering various factors, including:
The relative importance of each NEO’s role and responsibilities
How the NEO has performed relative to these roles and responsibilities
Compensation practices of Peer Group companies (as defined below)
Overall company performance
Retention and Succession considerations
The Role of Management. Our CEO makes recommendations to the Committee regarding compensation for the executive officers other than himself. No member of management participates in discussions with the Committee regarding his or her own compensation.
The Role of the Independent Consultant. The Committee retained Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”), a compensation consulting firm, to assist it in evaluating the elements and levels of our executive compensation, including base salaries, annual cash incentive awards and equity-based incentives for our executive officers. In March 2021, the Committee determined that Pearl Meyer is independent from management and that Pearl Meyer’s work has not raised any conflicts of interest. Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Committee and the Committee has the sole authority to approve Pearl Meyer’s compensation and may terminate the relationship at any time.
During 2020, Pearl Meyer advised the Committee on a variety of topics, including competitive market assessment for executive and non-employee director compensation levels, merger-related compensation determinations, trends regarding COVID-19 related pay adjustments, compensation peer group review, review of governance matters pertaining to executive and employee compensation, and the structure of short- and long-term incentive programs.
Peer Group. The Committee believes it is important to understand current trends in compensation practices and pay levels for companies that are comparable to Ingersoll Rand. To assist the Committee in this analysis, the Committee, together with its independent consultant and input from management, develops a compensation Peer Group of comparable companies against which it performs benchmarking.
A revised Compensation Peer group was developed in anticipation of the Company’s transformational Merger. This revision resulted in the selection of companies that are similar in size (both in terms of revenue and market capitalization) and scope of operations to the Company after the Merger, and are representative of the companies with which we compete for revenue and talent.
Companies chosen are comparable in revenue and enterprise value to the Company, as the Committee believes revenue and enterprise value are key determinants of compensation levels. Companies selected generally have revenue of 1/2x - 2x of Ingersoll Rand’s revenue and enterprise value. In addition to size, companies are in comparable industries where we source executive talent. After taking these considerations into account plus additional input from its compensation consultant, the Committee decided to use the following Compensation Peer group (“Peer Group”) to help set compensation levels for 2020:
AMETEK, Inc.
Avery Dennison Corporation
Celanese Corporation
Dover Corporation
Flowserve Corporation
Fortive Corporation
IDEX Corporation
Mettler-Toledo International, Inc.
Oshkosh Corporation
Parker-Hannifin Corporation
Pentair Plc
Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Xylem, Inc.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Committee does not rely solely on data from the Peer Group in establishing compensation levels and practices as highlighted above. However, given the Company’s focus on delivering long-term value creation for our stockholders, the Committee generally targets cash compensation of the NEOs at or below the median of the Peer Group and long-term equity incentive compensation between the 50th and 75th percentile of the Peer Group. Additionally, the Committee may also consider survey compensation data based on companies of similar size to Ingersoll Rand.
Many of the pay increases cited under “2020 Executive Compensation Program in Detail” were driven largely by the changes to the Peer Group that resulted from the Merger, as the Committee sought to continue to provide market competitive compensation opportunities consistent with the increased complexity of managing a larger organization, where applicable for such roles, and aligned with the philosophy described above.

2021 Executive Compensation Program in Detail
Base Salary
Base salary is the only fixed component of NEO cash compensation. An NEO’s base salary is related to the individual’s level of responsibility and provides them with a level of cash income predictability and stability with respect to a portion of their total compensation. The Committee believes that base salaries for executives should reflect competitive levels of pay and factors unique to each executive such as experience and breadth of responsibilities, performance, individual skill set, time in the role and internal pay parity. Base salaries are

reviewed annually or at other times when appropriate (for example, promotions, changes in job scope and/or responsibilities, etc.) and may be increased from time to time pursuant to such review.
Consistent with our philosophy to focus on long-term variable pay versus fixed cash compensation, the Committee generally established 2021 base salary rates at or below the median of Peer Group salary levels. In light of the economic uncertainty at the time 2021 compensation decisions were made, including the impacts of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the Committee decided for 2021 to maintain base salaries for the majority of executive officers at 2020 rates.
Consistent with this approach, only two NEOs received base salary increases in 2021. Mr. Kini’s was a merit-based adjustment intended to recognize his strong individual performance and to improve alignment with market levels, as his 2020 base salary rate was below market at the 25th percentile level. Mr. Miñarro Viseras’ base salary increase was intended to recognize: (i) his long-term strategic importance to the Company, and (ii) the end of a legacy tax gross-up perquisite related to the reimbursement of schooling fees for his children.
The following table reflects the base salary rates of our NEOs as of December 31, 2021:

Mr. Miñarro Viseras is based in Europe and compensated in Euros. His 2020 base salary is related to the individual’s level of responsibility and provides them with a level of cash income predictability and stability with respect to a portion of their total compensation. The Committee believes that base salaries for executives should reflect competitive levels of pay and factors unique to each executive such as experience and breadth of responsibilities, performance, individual skill set, time in the role and internal pay parity. Base salaries are reviewed annually or at other times when appropriate (for example, promotions, changes in job scope and/or responsibilities, etc.) and may be increased from time to time pursuant to such review.
In recognition of the Company’s transformational Merger and significantly larger size and scope of operations, in February 2020, the Committeewas approved base salary increases to each of our NEOs for 2020 as outlined in the table below, in each case effective on the completion of the Merger. These base salary increases had been reviewed in 2019 by the Committee priorat a rate of $440,000 USD per year, which was translated to €406,000 EUR at the February 2020 approval and were designed to align with the compensation of our post-Merger peer group.
Consistent with our philosophy to focus on long-term variable pay versus fixed cash compensation,then-current exchange rate. His 2021 base salary was approved by the Committee generally established 2020 salary rates at or below the mediana rate of Peer Group salary levels. In addition to the impact of the Merger on scope of responsibility, Mr. Kini’s year-over-year salary increase primarily reflects the significant expansion in his responsibilities in connection with his promotion from Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis and Investor Relations to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective June 15, 2020.
The Committee viewed 2020 as an extraordinary$490,000 USD per year, in which, it was necessary to recalibrate pay levels to reflect the Company’s new business and size profile after the Merger and the accompanying expansion in oversight and responsibilities for each of our NEOs. In the future, the Committee does not anticipate granting salary increases of this magnitude other than in exceptional circumstances (for example, in connection with a promotion involving a significant increase in responsibilities).
As a result of the COVID-19 downturn, in an effort to preserve casheliminate any extreme fluctuation in exchange rates, was translated to €432,125 EUR at the interest of the long-term health and sustainability of the Company, our executive officers (including each of our NEOs) and members of our Board of Directors volunteered to temporarily reduce their base salaries and cash director fees, respectively, by 15% from April 1, 2020 through the end of 2020.

Mr. Miñarro Viseras is based in Europe and compensated in Euros. We converted his 2019 base salary (which was €330,000 EUR) to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of 1.1194, which was the average monthly translation rate for 2019. His 2020 base salary was approved by the Committee at a rate of $440,000 USD per year, which was translated to €406,000 EUR at the then-current exchange rate. The percent increase for Mr. Miñarro Viseras reflects the calculation in local currencies to mute the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
Annual Cash Bonus Opportunity
To tie a significant portion of their annual cash compensation to actual performance, each NEO is eligible for an annual cash bonus award under our Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), based on the achievement of our financial goals for the Company and their respective business units.
A target annual bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of an NEO’s unreduced base salary rate at year-end, is established annually and may be adjusted from time to time by the Committee in connection with a NEO’s promotion or performance. The table below shows the 2021 target annual cash bonus opportunities for each of the NEOs.

2020 Performance Measures. The MIP pays out to participants based on levels of performance against financial metrics established by the Committee. To be eligible for a payout, a participant must be employed by the Company through the payment date or have an Approved Retirement (as defined below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control―Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards in the Event of Termination of Employment or Change in Control―Equity awards granted in 2020”) after the end of the year but before the payment date. To ensure the right level of accountability and line-of-sight, the performance measures vary depending upon the role and responsibility of the NEO. For 2020,

To ensure the right level of accountability and line-of-sight, the performance measures vary depending upon the role and responsibility of the NEO. For 2021, annual cash bonus awards for Corporate NEOs (Messrs. Reynal, Kini, Schiesl, and Weatherred) were based on the achievement of overall corporate performance, as described below. Mr. Miñarro Viseras’

annual cash bonus award was based in part on the achievement of overall Industrial Technologies and Services (“ITS”) group performance (excluding the power tools division) and in part on the achievement of Industrials Technologies and Services EMEIA (“ITS EMEIA”) performance, as described below, to reflect his leadership of the Industrials EMEIA business unit and his ability to impact the overall Industrials Group A detailed description of the 2021 MIP design and the calculation of the actual amounts paid to each of our NEOs is provided below.
For 2021, 75% of MIP payouts were based on Adjusted EBITDA performance. The Committee determined that a plan focused on Adjusted EBITDA was appropriate because it provides a reliable indicator of both our strategic growth and the strength of our overall financial results. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, nonrecurring and other adjustment items. As a balance to our profitability metric and in support of a focus on operational efficiency, the remaining 25% of the 2021 MIP payouts were based on Net Operating Working Capital1 as a Percentage of Revenue.
For our Corporate NEOs, Corporate performance against both financial metrics is determined based on achievement for the Company. For our NEO at the ITS group level, Mr. Miñarro Viseras, performance against both financial metrics is based 30% on the total ITS segment (excluding the power tools division), and 70% on the ITS EMEIA region business unit.
The following table details the MIP payout percentage associated with a corresponding performance level against the Adjusted EBITDA targets for our NEOs and against the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue targets for our Corporate NEOs.

Adjusted EBITDA results are adjusted to the extent that actual foreign exchange rates by country differ by more than 5% of budgeted foreign exchange rates. In addition to setting Adjusted EBITDA targets for our business units, we set an annual corporate expense budget each year and any difference between actual and budgeted corporate expense may be allocated to the Adjusted EBITDA at our business units. While there are no individual goals for purposes of MIP award payments, the Committee, on the recommendation of Mr. Reynal, may adjust an incentive payment upward or downward for performance-related reasons for other NEOs. In addition, the Committee has discretion to adjust MIP award payments for unanticipated events. For 2021, the Committee did not adjust the calculated MIP award payments for any of our NEOs.

Historically, the Committee approved performance metrics and goals for the MIP program at its February meeting. However, in light of preparations for the Merger with the Industrial segment of Ingersoll Rand and forecasting difficulties due to the Merger not yet being completed, the Committee approved the MIP performance metric in February, but did not approve goals until May 2020. In May, after the Merger, the Committee was able to consider both the pro-forma budget that each of the separate Gardner Denver and Ingersoll Rand Industrial Segment management teams had developed in February 2020 (prior to the completion of the Merger and prior to COVID-19-related shutdowns) (the, “Pre Merger Annual Operating Plan”, or “PAOP”) as well as a revised outlook established shortly after the Merger reflecting the first three months of actual 2020 performance plus the forecast for the final nine months of fiscal 2020 (the “3+9 Forecast”). This 3+9 Forecast included a more accurate understanding of the Company post-Merger given the newly-combined management team’s better access to financial data, and also included an estimate of the impact of COVID-19 on business operations.
In May 2020, based on its consideration of the PAOP and 3+9 Forecast, the Committee determined that the MIP program would be based on the PAOP developed in February 2020. However, the Committee reserved the ability to exercise discretion at year end to appropriately adjust final payouts based on performance against the 3+9 Forecast as well as an assessment of the evolving impact of COVID-19 on business operations. The Committee felt that adopting an approach grounded in the PAOP was the most prudent approach, but recognized that it might need to exercise its discretion given that the Company was simultaneously executing on a transformational merger and addressing the disruptions related to COVID-19. This approach was deemed to be reasonable given that the PAOP was impacted by forecasting difficulties that arose from the in-progress Merger and the fact that it was established before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adjusted EBITDA results are adjusted to the extent that actual foreign exchange rates by country differ by more than 5% of budgeted foreign exchange rates. In addition to setting Adjusted EBITDA targets for our business units, we set an annual corporate expense budget each year and any difference between actual and budgeted corporate expense may be allocated to the Adjusted EBITDA at our business units at the discretion of the Committee. While there are no individual goals for purposes of MIP award payments, the Committee, on the recommendation of Mr. Reynal, may adjust an incentive payment upward or downward for performance-related reasons for other NEOs. In addition, the Committee has discretion to adjust MIP award payments for unanticipated events.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Committee exercised its discretion in determining 2020 MIP payouts following a review of performance against the PAOP, the revised 3+9 Forecast and the evolving impact of COVID-19. It noted that the Company as a whole had performed better than the 3+9 Forecast. However, despite achievement vs. the 3+9 Forecast that would have resulted in above target MIP payouts for the NEOs at the Corporate level, the Committee determined that payouts to the NEOs should be capped at 100% of target in recognition of lack of achievement relative to the PAOP Target. In recognition of the more significant impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s European business, the Committee also determined to exercise its discretion to pay
Mr. Miñarro Viseras his target bonus amount for 2020, notwithstanding below target achievementis based in Europe and compensated in Euros. Regardless of the prevailing exchange rate in effect at the ITS group level.

We believe the Adjusted EBITDA goals under the PAOP and the 3+9 Forecast provided extremely challenging goals for plan participants at the ITS group level, including Mr. Miñarro Viseras, given the 2020 business environment. At the ITS group level, actual performance against the Adjusted EBITDA metric under the PAOP was 85% of target for the total ITS segment and 77% of target for the ITS EMEIA region, resulting in a weighted payout percentage of 84% for Mr. Miñarro Viseras. Actual performance against the Adjusted EBITDA metric under the “3+9” forecast was 103% of target for the total ITS segment and 90% of target for the ITS EMEIA region, resulting in a weighted payout percentage of 94% for Mr. Miñarro Viseras.
Based on the foregoing, the following table illustrates the calculation of the annual cash incentive awards payable to our NEOs (other than Ms. Weaver) under the 2020 MIP in light of these performance results and the Committee’s discretion.

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

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

One-Time Merger-Related Relocation and Retention Bonus – Mr. Kini
In May 2019, after we had entered into the Merger Agreement, we entered into change in control severance agreements with certain key non-executive officer employees, including Mr. Kini, who was not an executive officer at that time, as part of a retention program to induce them to stay with the Company and remain focused on our business while the Merger transaction was pending. The arrangement originally provided for a payment in the amount of $244,901 for Mr. Kini if he remained employed by the Company through the completion of the Merger and his employment was subsequently terminated by the Company. In September 2019, we identified certain non-executive key employees who were part of this retention program (including Mr. Kini) whose contributions we determined would be critical to the Company’s continued success following the Merger, and converted their change in control severance arrangements into relocation and retention bonuses payable if they remained employed by the Company and relocated to the Charlotte, North Carolina area by September 1, 2020. In consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in May of 2020 we further amended the program to provide that certain participants (including Mr. Kini) would become entitled to 50% of the original bonus amount if they remained employed by the Company through September 1, 2020, and committed by such time to relocate to the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Under this amendment, they would then become entitled to the remaining 50% of the original bonus amount once they actually relocated to the Charlotte, North Carolina area (assuming they remained employed by the Company). The amount that became payable to Mr. Kini under this program in 2020 is reflected in the “Bonus” column of the SCT.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards
Our long-term incentive awards, established through our Ingersoll Rand Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (our “2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan”), are intended to drive executives to deliver strong stock performance, align our executives’ experiencecompensation with long-term stockholder value creation, and to attract and retain highly-qualified executives. The details of these awards are as follows:
50% in Performance Share Units (PSUs). The PSUs have a 3-year performance period that runs from January 1, 20202021 through December 31, 20222023 (the “Performance Period”) and performance is measured based on Relative TSR vs. S&P 500 Industrials as follows:
Threshold Performance: 35th percentile positioning vs. index = 50% payout
Target Performance: 55th percentile positioning vs. index = 100% payout
Superior Performance: 75th (or greater) percentile positioning vs. index = 200% payout (capped)
The payout under the PSUs will beis capped at 100% if the Company’s TSR is negative.
38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TSR is calculated as the appreciation in the price per share of a company’s common stock during the Performance Period (assuming any dividends or distributions are reinvested), expressed as a percentage, andpercentage. Relative TSR is based on the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR against the TSRs of the companies and entities that, on January 1, 2020,2021, comprised the S&P 500.500 Industrials.1
25% in Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). RSUs vest in equal, annual installments over a four-year period.
25% in Time-Vesting Stock Options. Stock Options vest in equal, annual installments over a four-year period, and expire 10 years from the grant date.

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

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

If prior to the end of the Performance Period a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 on January 1, 2020 ceases to publicly report, on either a recognized stock exchange or “over the counter” market, a share price for the security used to determine the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period and such company or entity has not become “Insolvent” (as defined in the applicable award agreement), such company or entity will be excluded from the ranking. In addition, if a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 on January 1, 2020 becomes Insolvent prior to the end of the Performance Period, then such company or entity will be treated as having a cumulative TSR of negative one hundred percent (-100%).

Vesting of Equity Awards Made Prior to our Initial Public Offering
Prior to our initial public offering, in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, we granted long-term equity awards pursuant to our 2013 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of Ingersoll Rand Holdings, Inc. (our “2013 Stock Incentive Plan”) to our NEOs in the form of stock options, with 50% of each award vesting based on time-based vesting conditions (“Time Options”) and 50% of each award vesting based on performance-based vesting conditions (“Performance Options”). A portion of these Performance Options were eligible to vest on December 31, 2020 if and only to the extent that the Company achieved the annual adjusted EBITDA performance target for fiscal 2020 set by the Committee (where “adjusted EBITDA” refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus transaction, management and/or similar fees paid to KKR and/or its affiliates). The fiscal 2020 adjusted EBITDA performance target was $630 million and our adjusted EBITDA performance for fiscal 2020 was $1.078 billion. Therefore, the portion of the Performance Options held by our NEOs that was eligible to vest based on the Company’s fiscal 2020 adjusted EBITDA performance vested.
Other Compensation Practices and Policies that Align Our NEOs to Our Stockholders
Stock Ownership and Retention Policy
To align the interests of our management and directors with those of our stockholders, the Board of Directors concluded that certain of our executives (the “Covered Executives”) and non-employee directors should have a significant financial stake in the Company’s stock. To further that goal, we implemented market-leading stock ownership guidelines (the “Guidelines”) in 2017, the year we completed our initial public offering. The Covered Executives and non-employee directors are required to hold a specific level of equity ownership as outlined below.
Covered Executives: The Guidelines apply to the Covered Executives in three tiers. The stock ownership levels under the Guidelines, expressed as a multiple of the Covered Executive’s annual base salary rate as of January 1st of the year, are as follows:
Tier
Covered Executives
Multiple of Salary
Tier One
Chief Executive Officer
10x Salary
Tier Two
Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel
5x Salary
Tier Three
P&L and Corporate Leaders
3x Salary
Retention Requirement: There is no required time period within which a Covered Executive must attain the applicable stock ownership level under the Guidelines. However, until the applicable ownership level is achieved, Covered Executives must retain 75% of net shares granted to them. Once the ownership guideline is met, Covered Executives must retain 30% of net shares granted to them; however, thisthem. This requirement drops to 20% for a Covered Executive upon the earlier of a (1) such Covered Executive reaching the age of 55 and (2) such covered executive achieving 10 years of service with the Company andCompany. The requirement terminates upon the earlier of (1) such Covered Executive reaching the age of 60 and (2) such covered executive achieving 15 years of service with the Company.
The shares counted toward these ownership requirements include shares owned outright and vested stock options. The retention requirement applies to all prior and future grants. These ownership requirements are set at levels that the Company believes are robust given the Covered Executives’ respective salaries and responsibilities.
40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Non-Employee Directors: Our non-employee directors are required to hold 75% of net shares granted to them under our benefit plans until they own equity equal to five times their annual cash retainers. Once the ownership guideline is met, directors must retain 30% of the net shares granted to them under our benefit plans until their retirement.
As of January 1, 2021,2022, all our NEOs and then serving directors who were with the Company for at least one year were in compliance with the applicable stock ownership levels under the Guidelines.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Hedging and Pledging Policies
The Company’s Securities Trading Policy requires executive officers and directors to consult the Company’s General Counsel prior to engaging in transactions involving the Company’s securities. The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits directors and executive officers from hedging or monetization transactions including, but not limited to, through the use of financial instruments such as exchange funds, variable forward contracts, equity swaps, puts, calls, and other derivative instruments, or through the establishment of a short position in the Company’s securities. The Company’s Securities Trading Policy limits the pledging of Company securities to those situations approved by the Company’s General Counsel.
Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy
We have adopted a clawback policy for incentive compensation. The Committee determined that it may be appropriate to recover annual and/or long-term incentive compensation in specified situations. Under the policy, if the Committee determines that incentive compensation of its current and former Section 16 officers (or any other employee designated by the Board or the Committee) was overpaid, in whole or in part, as a result of a restatement of the reported financial results of the Company or any of its segments due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements (unless due to a change in accounting policy or applicable law), and such restatement was caused or contributed, directly or indirectly, by such employee’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, then the Committee will determine, in its discretion, whether to seek to recover or cancel any overpayment of incentive compensation paid or awarded during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement.
Other Benefits
While our compensation philosophy is to focus on performance-based forms of compensation while providing only minimal executive benefits and perquisites, we provide to all our employees, including our NEOs, broad-based employee benefits that are intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security. These include:
a 401(k) savings plan;
medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage; and
dependent care and healthcare flexible spending accounts.
401(k) Plan
Our U.S. eligible employees, including our NEOs other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, participate in the Ingersoll Rand Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) plan”), which is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan. Eligible employees hired on and after January 1, 2014, are automatically enrolled in the 401(k) plan to make pre-tax salary contributions, unless they decline participation. Under the 401(k) plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a participant’s eligible pre-tax and/or Roth salary contributions, subject to all IRS annual limits and plan limitations. Participants are 100% vested in employee salary contributions and Company matching contributions. 401(k) plan participants may elect to contributioncontribute up to 100%85% of their annual eligible compensation (either through pre-tax or Roth contributions), subject to annual IRS and plan limitations.
Supplemental Excess Defined Contribution Plan
In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary gradeband of 208 or higher (generally senior managersdirectors and above), including the NEOs other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, are eligible to participate in the Ingersoll Rand Inc. Supplemental Excess Defined Contribution Plan (the “Excess“Supplemental Contribution Plan”), which is funded through a Rabbi Trust. This ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan is intended to permit Company matching contributions on eligible participant compensation contributions to the Supplemental Contribution Plan in excess of the annual limitations imposed by the IRS on our tax-qualified 401(k) plan.
Eligible employees may contribute up to 85% of their salary and/or eligible annual bonus compensation to the Supplemental Contribution Plan. Under the Supplemental Contribution Plan, after an eligible employee exceeds the annual IRS pre-tax/Roth contribution limits and the annual catch up contribution limit for participants age 50 and older or compensation limit under the 401(k) plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a
4135

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Eligible employees may contribute to the Excess Contribution Plan when they exceed (i) the annual IRS pre-tax/Roth contribution limits and the annual catch-up contribution limit for participants age 50 or over or (ii) the annual IRS compensation limit, under the 401(k) plan. Under the Excess Contribution Plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a participant’s further eligible salary contributions to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan. Company matching contributions under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan are contributed to the Rabbi Trust in the form of cash rather than our common stock. All employee and Company matching contributions under the Supplemental Contribution Plan are fully vested immediately.
Limited Perquisites
Executive perquisites are not part of our general compensation philosophy; however, we provide limited perquisites and personal benefits that are not generally available to all employees when necessary to attract top talent. TheseFor instance, beginning in 2021, certain of our senior executives, including each of the NEOs, are typicallyeligible for a tax and financial planning benefit, under which participating executives are reimbursed up to $10,000 per year for qualified services and participation in our executive physical program.
In addition, from time to time, we may set forth additional perquisites in the offer letters or employment agreements we enter into with our executive officers. SeeThese arrangements are discussed under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2020—2021—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.” For example, in 20202021, per his employment agreement, Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to international school assistance and use of a company car.
Severance and Change in Control Agreements
The Company believes that reasonable and appropriate severance and change in control benefits are necessary in order to be competitive in the Company’s executive attraction and retention efforts. As discussed below, the offer letters we enter into with our NEOs provide for certain payments, rights and benefits to the NEOs upon an involuntary termination of employment without Cause (as defined in “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control-Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants” below) from the Company“cause” or a termination by the NEO for Good Reason“good reason” (as such terms are defined in “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control-Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants” below). In addition, our equity award agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control in certain circumstances and upon certain qualifying terminations of employment, as more fully described above under “―Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2020―2021―Terms of Equity Awards.”
In April 2020, Messrs. Reynal and Schiesl proactively recommended to the Board that their respective offer letters should be amended to align their severance terms with those of Ms. Weaver and Mr. Weatherred, and to be more in keeping with the Company’s compensation philosophy. Specifically, they recommended and agreed to reduce the amount of severance to which each of them is entitled in the event of a qualifying termination from (a) an amount equal to the sum of (x) his annual base salary and (y) the annual incentive award under the MIP, if any, earned in respect of our fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs to (b) an amount equal to his annual base salary.
Risk Management and Mitigation of Compensation Policies and Practices
The Committee has reviewed our incentive compensation programs, discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program, considered various mitigating factors, and reviewed these items with its independent consultant, Pearl Meyer. In addition, our Committee asked Pearl Meyer to conduct an independent risk assessment of our executive and other compensation program.programs. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Committee does not believe our compensation program creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.
For the foregoing reasons, the Committee has concluded that the programs by which our executives are compensated strike an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term compensation and incentivize our executives to act in a manner that prudently manages enterprise risk.
Employment Agreements
We do not typically enterentered into employment agreementsoffer letters setting forth initial compensation and benefits, as well as severance terms, with our NEOs; however,Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl and Weatherred at the time of their initial employment. In addition, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras when he joined the Company in 2016, and we entered into a new employment agreement with him in October 2018 in connection with our competitive review of executive officer compensation. In addition, we entered into offer letters setting forth initial compensation and benefits, as well as severance terms, for their service in substantially their current roles with Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl and

Transition Agreement - Ms. Weaver

Represents the amount of the matching contribution made by us in accordance with our ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan. Matching contributions are reported for the year in which the compensation against which the applicable deferral election is applied has been earned (regardless of whether such matching contribution is actually credited to the NEO's non-qualified deferred compensation account in that year or the following year). The amounts in this column are reported as compensation for fiscal 20202021 in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.
(3)
Amounts in this column are not reported as compensation for fiscal 20202021 in the Summary Compensation Table since they do not reflect above-market or preferential earnings.
(4)
The amounts reported in this column include the following aggregate amounts for each of the following NEOs reported as compensation to such named executive officers for previous years in the “Base Salary,” “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” and “All Other Compensation” columns of the Summary Compensation Table: Mr. Reynal, $841,500 in fiscal 2016, $1,049,316 in fiscal 2017, $573,416 in fiscal 2018, and $83,485 in fiscal 2019;2019 and $361,310 in fiscal 2020; Mr. Kini, $207,607 in fiscal 2020; Mr. Schiesl, $65,536 in 2016, $114,162 in fiscal 2017, $50,766 in fiscal 2018, and $46,000 in fiscal 2019;2019 and $98,998 in fiscal 2020; and Mr. Weatherred, $20,994 in fiscal 2019.2019 and $65,422 in fiscal 2020.
Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary grade of 20band 8 or higher (generally senior managersdirector and above) are eligible to participate in the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan. Once a participant in the Excess Contribution Plan reaches the IRS annual limits for the 401(k) plan, contributions will be made to the Excess Contribution Plan based on the salary deferral percentage elected by the participant under the 401(k) plan. The participant selects the deferral percentage for both the 401(k) plan and the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan at the time of initial enrollment in the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan or once per year in December for the following year. In December of each year, a participant
41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may make a separate election to defer from the annual MIP award earned the following year and payable in the year thereafter. The Company matches each participant’s contributions to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan with Company matching contributions. The Company match consists of $1 for each $1 the participant defers under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan (up to the first 6% of a participant’s annual eligible compensation), less any matching contribution made to the 401(k) plan. The Company match is credited to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan in the form of cash.
Historically, the NEOs were also credited with a nonelective Company contribution of 12% of eligible compensation in excess of the IRS annual limit. The Company nonelective contributions were also contributed in cash and became fully vested after three years of employment. We discontinued the nonelective Company contributions effective January 1, 2015.
With respect to employee and Company matching contributions made to the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan on and after January 1, 2021, participants may elect to receive distributions related to each calendar year in a lump sum or 5-, 10-, or 15-year installments payable (i) when the participant separates from service with the Company or (ii) on a specific in-service date designated by the participant. For amounts deferred between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020, participants may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or 5-, or 10-year installments payable (i) when the participant separates from service with the Company or (ii) on a specific in-service date designated by the participant. A participant makes thisthese distribution electionelections for the specific year’s contributions at the time the participant makes the salary and MIP deferral elections in December for the following year. For amounts deferred before January 1, 2019, participants in the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan may elect to receive distributions of their plan account in either a lump sum or 5- or 10-year installments payable when the participant separates from service with the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan. Loans are not permitted under the ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants
We entered into offer letters with each of our NEOs, other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, that contain severance terms. In February 2018, we amended the terms of Mr. Miñarro Viseras’ employment agreement to increase his termination benefits, and in October 2018 we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras (which also includes such increase in termination benefits). His new employment agreement requires that we provide twelve months’ notice in the event of his termination, with the option to terminate him immediately with a lump sum payment of twelve months’ salary.
Messrs. Reynal and Schiesl

Reynal’s or Schiesl’stheir employment without Cause“cause” or any of them terminates their employment for “good reason” (as such terms are defined below)in the applicable employment agreement or either of Messrs. Reynal or Schiesl terminates his employment with us for Good Reason (as defined below)severance terms), subject in Mr. Reynal’s case to his continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in his management equity agreements, in Mr. Schiesl’s case to certain provisions in the Severance Plan,conditions and in either case to the NEO’s execution of a customary waiver and release agreement, heon-going commitments, they will be entitled to receive:
Continued payment over a 12-month period (the “Severance Period”) of the sum of (x) histheir then-current annual base salary, and (y) the annual incentive award under the MIP, if any, earned in respect of our fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs, payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the Severance Period; and
Continued group health coverage (on the same basis as actively employed employees of the Company), subject to the NEO’s electing to receive benefits under COBRA, for 12 months following the date his employment terminates (or, if earlier, through the date the NEO becomes employed by another employer and eligible for health insurance coverage at such employer).
In April 2020, Messrs. Reynal and Schiesl proactively recommendedUnder our agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras, we are required to provide him 12 months’ notice in the Board that their respective offer letters should be amended to align their severance terms with thoseevent of the other Named Executive Officers, and to be more in keepinghis termination, with the Company’s compensation philosophy. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis―Other Compensation Practices and Policies that Align Our NEOsoption to Our Stockholders―Severance and Change in Control Agreements.”
Messrs. Kini and Weatherred
Under the terms of Mr. Weatherred's offer letter and severance terms applicable to Mr. Kini, if the Company terminates their employment without cause or they resign for good reason, then, subject to their continued complianceterminate him immediately with restrictive covenants and execution of a customary release, they will be entitled to receive:
continuedlump sum payment of their then-current annual base salary for a 12-month period;12 months’ salary.

subject to their electing to receive benefits under COBRA, continued coverage under the Company’s group health plans at active-employee rates for up to 12 months after her termination date. Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2021―Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.”
In addition to the payments described above, each of our NEOs is entitled to receive a distribution of all vested amounts under our ExcessSupplemental Contribution Plan. See “―Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Fiscal 2020.”
For purposes of each of the severance arrangements described above:
“Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following with respect to an NEO: (1) a material breach by the NEO of the terms of the Company’s policies, the terms of which have previously been provided to such NEO; (2) any act of theft, misappropriation, embezzlement, fraud or similar conduct by the NEO involving the Company or any of its affiliates; (3) the NEO’s failure to act in accordance with any specific lawful instructions given to the NEO by the board of directors (or any committee thereof) in connection with the performance of the NEO’s duties for the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, which continues beyond ten (10) business days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the NEO by the Company (the “Cure Period”); (4) any damage of a material nature to the business or property of the Company or any affiliate caused by NEO’s willful or grossly negligent conduct which continues beyond the Cure Period (to the extent that, in the board of directors’ reasonable judgment, such breach can be cured); (5) any intentional misconduct by the NEO
53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

which is reasonably likely to be materially damaging to the Company without a reasonable good faith belief by the NEO that such conduct was in the best interests of the Company; (6) the conviction or the plea of nolo contendere or the equivalent in respect of any felony or a misdemeanor involving an act of dishonesty, moral turpitude, deceit, or fraud by the NEO; or (7) a knowing and material breach of any written agreement with the Company to which the NEO is a party, which continues beyond the Cure Period (to the extent that, in the board of directors’ reasonable judgment, such breach can be cured). A termination for Cause shall be effective when the Company has given the NEO written notice of its intention to terminate for Cause, describing those acts or omissions that are believed to constitute Cause, and has given the NEO the Cure Period within which to respond.
“Good Reason” means any of the following actions if taken without an NEO’s prior written consent (which will be deemed to have been given if the NEO does not provide written notification of an event described in clauses (1) and (2) within 90 days after the NEO knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any such event): (1) a material adverse change in the NEO’s position causing it to be of materially less stature, responsibility, or authority or the assignment to the NEO of any material duties inconsistent with the customary duties of the NEO’s position, in each case without the NEO’s written consent (provided that if, after an initial public offering of equity securities of the Company, at a later date the Company or its successor entity ceases to be a publicly traded entity, such fact shall not constitute a change in the NEO’s existing position); (2) the relocation of the offices at which the NEO is principally employed to a location which is more than 50 miles from the offices at which the NEO is principally employed immediately prior to such relocation; or (3) a reduction, without the NEO’s written consent, in the NEO’s base salary or the target bonus amount the NEO is eligible to earn under the MIP; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to guarantee the NEO’s MIP award payable for any fiscal year if the applicable performance targets are not met; and provided, further, that it shall not constitute Good Reason if the Company makes an appropriate pro rata adjustment to the applicable amount payable and targets under the MIP in the event of a change in the fiscal year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any event described in clauses (1) or (2) above must be an event that would result in a material negative change in the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company and thus effectively constitute an involuntary termination of employment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
In addition to the foregoing, Messrs. Reynal, Kini, Schiesl and Weatherred are entitled to a distribution of the amounts held under our Excess Contribution Plan in connection with any termination as disclosed above under “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation - Fiscal 2020.2021.
Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards in the Event of Termination of Employment or Change in Control
The Time Option and Performance Option awards we granted to our NEOs prior to our initial public offering as well as theoutstanding RSU and option awards we have granted to our NEOs since 2018 provide for accelerated vesting in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment as described below and/or, in certain circumstances described below, in connection with a change in control.
Equity awards granted prior to our initial public offering
Effect of Change in Control on Vesting of Options. Immediately prior to any Change in Control (as defined below), any unvested portion of the Time Options shall vest and become immediately exercisable as to 100% of such Time Options. In addition, immediately prior to any Change in Control, the Performance Options shall vest and become immediately exercisable as to 100% of such Performance Options but only if, and to the extent that, as of such Change in Control, KKR achieves (x) a Sponsor IRR (as defined below) of 22.5% and (y) a Sponsor MOIC (as defined below) of 2.5x. No option will become exercisable as to any additional shares of the Company’s common stock following the termination of employment of an NEO for any reason and any option that is unexercisable as of the NEO’s termination of employment will immediately expire without payment.
For purposes of the foregoing:
“Sponsor IRR” means, as of a Change in Control, the cumulative internal rate of return of KKR, excluding any fees paid to KKR or expenses reimbursed to KKR from time to time (“Sponsor Fees”), on KKR’s aggregate investment in the Company determined on a fully diluted basis, assuming inclusion of all shares of the Company’s common stock underlying all then outstanding Time Options and Performance Options.
“Sponsor MOIC” means, as of a Change in Control, the result obtained by dividing (i) the cash consideration received by KKR (other than any Sponsor Fees) as of the Change in Control by (ii) the aggregate
54

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effect of Qualifying Termination on Vesting of PSUs, RSUs, and Options. In the event of an NEO’s termination without Cause (as defined below) or Approved Retirement (as defined below), such NEO’s outstanding RSUs and options that would have vested on the first vesting date otherwise scheduled to occur immediately following the date of such termination without Cause or Approved Retirement will vest as of the date of such termination without Cause or Approved Retirement, as applicable. In the event of an NEO’s death or Disability (as defined in the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan), such NEO’s outstanding RSUs and options that would have vested on the first and second vesting date otherwise scheduled to occur immediately following the date of such death or Disability shall vest as of the date of death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the NEO’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs and options if the NEO’s termination occurs as a result of NEO’s Approved Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the Company may determine that the NEO’s Retirement (as defined below) is no longer an Approved Retirement.
In the event of an NEO’s termination without Cause, Approved Retirement or death or Disability occurring after the expiration of the Performance Period and before the vesting date, the PSUs that would have vested on the vesting date will vest on the vesting date.
Effect of a Change in Control on Vesting of PSUs, RSUs, and Options. In the event of an NEO’s termination without Cause during the two-year period following a Change in Control (as defined in our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan), all of such NEO’s outstanding RSUs and options will immediately vest as of the date of such termination without Cause.
With respect to the PSUs, if a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, then the calculation of the number of PSUs that will vest is conducted as though (i) the last day of the Performance Period was the

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

Messrs. Donnelley, Forsee, Humphrey, Jones Kassling, Marn, Vande Steeg and White and Mses. Arnold and Centoni
Following a competitive market assessment of non-employee director compensation conducted by Pearl Meyer in connection with the Merger, the Board adopted the following director compensation program beginning upon the completion of the Merger for each of our non-employee directors not associated with KKR:KKR.
Annual cash retainer of $75,000, payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for any partial year of service;

As discussed above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” members of our Board of Directors volunteered to temporarily reduce their cash director fees by 15% from April 1, 2020 through the end of 2020.
Prior to the Merger in 2020, our director compensation program for our non-employee directors not associated with KKR was as follows:

which vests on the anniversary of the grant date, to compensate him for the additional time and responsibilities associated with this role. We believe that an equity-focused compensation scheme for our directors strengthens the alignment of interests of our directors and stockholders.
In connection with his election to our Board of Directors, Mr. Donnelly received the Donnelly Time Options, a grant of options under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan with a fair value of $400,000, which vested and vesting and becomingbecame exercisable in equal parts on December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018.

In addition, in December 2013, we granted each of Messrs. Kassling, Marn and Vande Steeg 57,534 Director Time Options pursuant to the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan. Prior to our initial public offering, we also gave our non-employee directors not associated with KKR the opportunity to make investments in our common stock, subject to satisfaction of applicable securities law requirements, and each of Messrs. Marn and Vande Steeg did so.
The Director Time Options vested and became exercisable with respect to 20% of such Director Time Options on December 31st of each of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to the director’s continued service through such date.
Vested Director Time Options and Donnelly Time Options expire upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (1) the tenth anniversary of the date such options were granted; (2) the first anniversary of the cessation of the director’sMr. Donnelly’s service to the Company because of death or Disability (as defined in the option award agreement); (3) one hundred eighty (180) days after the cessation of the director’sMr. Donnelly’s service to the Company without Cause (as defined in the option award agreement) (except due to death or Disability); (4) the date the director’sMr. Donnelly’s service is terminated by the Company for Cause; or (5) pursuant to the repurchase rights in the Director Stockholder’s Agreement described below.

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

CEO Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K (“Item 402(u)”), the Company is providing the following information regarding the relationship of the annual total compensation of Vicente Reynal, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to the median all of our employees (except Mr. Reynal), calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u). For 2020,2021, our last completed fiscal year:
The median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, excluding our CEO, was $53,770.$51,757.
The annual total compensation of our CEO was $12,141,175.$10,613,486.
Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees except our CEO was 226:1.
As noted earlier under “Compensation Discussion & Analysis – Certain Merger-Related and One-Time Compensation Elements in 2020”, Mr. Reynal’s 2020 compensation total included several one-time Merger-related items.
If we considered Mr. Reynal’s $9,200,000 “Target Total Direct Compensation” figure from the supplemental table provided under the same heading, which amount excludes certain one-time items and certain other elements as described therein, our CEO to median employee pay ratio would have been 171:205:1.
We determined that, as of December 31, 2020,2021, our employee population consisted of 15,67715,454 individuals, including full time, part time, and temporary employees.
To identify our “median employee” from this employee population, we obtained annual base salary and target annual bonus information as of December 31, 20202021 from our internal payroll records for each employee in

our employee population. We believe this consistently applied compensation measure reasonably reflects annual compensation across our employee base. Base salary amounts for employees located outside the United States and compensated in currencies other than U.S. dollars were converted to U.S. dollars based on the average annual exchange rate for 2020.2021. We then ranked the resulting annual base salary plus target annual bonus amounts for all of the employees in the employee population other than our CEO to determine our median employee. Once we identified our median employee, we combined all of the elements of such employee’s compensation for 20202021 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K for the Summary Compensation Table. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our Summary Compensation Table set forth above in this proxy statement.

We have utilized and may continue to utilize KKR Capstone Americas LLC and/or its affiliates (“KKR Capstone”), a consulting company that works exclusively with KKR’s portfolio companies, for consulting services, and have paid to KKR Capstone related fees and expenses. KKR Capstone is not a subsidiary or affiliate of KKR. KKR Capstone operates under several consulting agreements with KKR and uses the “KKR” name under license from KKR.
Relationship with KKR Credit
Since 2014, investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the global credit business of KKR (“KKR Credit”) were participating lenders under our existing credit agreements and holders of notes issued by us, and as of December 31, 2020, had received in aggregate principal payments of approximately $2.3 million and interest payments of approximately $9.1 million (in each case, converted from Euros to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of 1.1409, which was the average monthly translation rate for 2020). As of December 31, 2020, investment funds or accounts managed or advised by KKR Credit held a position in the Company’s Euro Term Loan Facility of €43.3 million and in the Company’s Dollar Term Loan B of $39.7 million.

In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction:
management must disclose to the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, the name of the related person and the basis on which the person is a related person, the material terms of the related person transaction, including the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction, and all the material facts as to the related person’s direct or indirect interest in, or relationship to, the related person transaction;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction complies with the terms of our agreements governing our material outstanding indebtedness that limit or restrict our ability to enter into a related person transaction;
management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction will be required to be disclosed in our applicable filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and related rules, and, to the extent required to be disclosed, management must ensure that the related person transaction is disclosed in accordance with such Acts and related rules; and
management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction constitutes a “personal loan” for purposes of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
In addition, the related person transaction policy provides that the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, in connection with any approval or ratification of a related person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee, should consider whether such transaction would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent” or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE.

To be eligible under the SEC’s stockholder proposal rule (Rule 14a-8(e) of the Exchange Act) for inclusion in our 20222023 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement and form of proxy, a proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary on or before December , 2021.30, 2022. Failure to deliver a proposal in accordance with this procedure may result in it not being deemed timely received.

To make a director nomination or present other business for consideration at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2022,2023, you must submit a timely notice in accordance with the procedures described in our Bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of our Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, to be presented at our Annual Meeting to be held in 2022,2023, such a proposal must be received on or after February 16, 2022,2023, but not later than March 18, 2022.2023.

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

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
A. ExceptReconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Ingersoll Rand reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA,” and “Supplemental Adjusted Revenue.”
Ingersoll Rand believes Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as otherwisethey provide supplemental information about the Company’s financial performance on a combined basis as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019. Ingersoll Rand believes Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as they exclude certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of Ingersoll Rand’s business. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019. Ingersoll Rand believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Supplemental Adjusted Revenue represents revenue for the Company as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019.
Management and Ingersoll Rand’s board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in evaluating the Company’s operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in this Second Amendedaddition to, and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shallshould not be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise providedconsidered to be a substitute for, or fixed pursuantsuperior to, the provisions of Article IV (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock)comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, Ingersoll Rand believes that Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and this Article VI relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the total number of directors shall be determined from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the date the Common Stock is first publicly traded (the “IPO Date”), Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO Date and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO Date. At each succeeding annual meeting, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decreaseinterested parties in the numberevaluation of directors removeissuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.
Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue should not be considered as alternatives to net income or shorten the termany other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted Revenue have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing Ingersoll Rand’s results as reported under GAAP.

B. Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding or the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2017, by and among the Corporation and certain affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries and its and their successors and assigns (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries), collectively, “KKR”) (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”), any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increasemost comparable U.S. GAAP financial metrics for historical periods are presented in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, by a sole remaining director or by the stockholders; provided, however, that at any time when KKR beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 40% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors shall, unless otherwise required by law or by resolution of the Board of Directors, be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by the stockholders). Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
C. Subject to rights granted to KKR under the Stockholders Agreement, any or all of the directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) may be removed at any time either with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class; provided, however, that at any time when KKR beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 40% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any such director or all such directors may be removed only forat anytables below.
