PROXY STATEMENT

FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 15, 2023

GENERAL INFORMATION

Why am I being provided with these materials?

We first sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and made these proxy materials available to you via the Internet on or about April 28, 2023 or, upon your request, have delivered printed versions of these proxy materials to you by mail in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of Ingersoll Rand Inc. (the “Company” or “Ingersoll Rand”) of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 15, 2023 (“Annual Meeting”), and at any postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting. Directors, officers and other Company employees also may solicit proxies by telephone or otherwise. Brokers and other nominees will be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses. The Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting of stockholders. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions during the meeting via live audio webcast by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IR2023. To participate in the meeting, you must have your 16-Digit Control Number included in the Notice, or if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials, in your proxy card or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

What am I voting on?

There are four proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

• Proposal No. 1: The election of ten director nominees listed herein (the “Director Election Proposal”).

• Proposal No. 2: Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023 (the “Ratification Proposal”).

• Proposal No. 3: Approval, in a non-binding advisory vote, of the compensation paid to the named executive officers (the “Say on Pay Proposal”).

• Proposal No. 4: Determination, in a non-binding advisory vote, of the frequency of future non-binding votes to approve the compensation paid to the named executive officers (the “Say on Frequency Proposal”).

Who is entitled to vote?

Stockholders as of the close of business on April 20, 2023 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 404,677,854 shares of common stock outstanding. You have one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date, including shares:

• Held directly in your name as “stockholder of record” (also referred to as “registered stockholder”);

• Held for you in an account with a broker, bank or other nominee (shares held in “street name”). Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and instead must instruct the brokerage firm, bank or nominee how to vote their shares; and

• Held for you by us as restricted shares (whether vested or non-vested) under any of our stock incentive plans.

1

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 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, the Director Election Proposal, Say on Pay Proposal and Say on Frequency Proposal are considered non-discretionary matters and a broker will lack the authority to vote shares at his/her discretion on such proposals. The Ratification Proposal, however, is considered a discretionary or “routine” matter and therefore, a broker may exercise his/her 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 Director Election Proposal, each director nominee is elected at the Annual Meeting by a “majority vote” standard in uncontested elections, which means that for each of the director nominees, the 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 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 Say on Pay Proposal, approval 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, which means that the number of shares voted “FOR” such proposals must exceed the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” at the Annual Meeting. While these proposals are advisory in nature and non-binding, the Board will review the voting results and will consider the results of the Say on Pay vote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

With respect to the Say on Frequency Proposal, you may vote every “ONE YEAR,” “TWO YEARS,” “THREE YEARS” or “ABSTAIN.” The frequency that receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal will be deemed the preferred frequency (which means that the number of shares voted “FOR” such proposal must exceed the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” at the Annual Meeting), provided, in the event that no option receives such a majority of the votes, the option that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be deemed the frequency preferred by stockholders for future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation and the Board will consider the results in selecting the frequency of future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation.

How are votes counted?

With respect to the Director Election Proposal, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to each nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Director Election Proposal.

2

With respect to the Ratification Proposal, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions will be counted as a vote “AGAINST” the Ratification Proposal. There are no broker non-votes with respect to the Ratification Proposal as brokers are permitted to exercise discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

With respect to the Say on Pay Proposal, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions will be counted as a vote “AGAINST” the Say on Pay Proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Say on Pay Proposal.

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

If you just sign and submit your proxy card without voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” each director nominee listed herein and “FOR” the Ratification and Say on Pay Proposals and for every “ONE YEAR” with respect to the Say on Frequency Proposal, as recommended by the Board and in accordance with the discretion of the holders of the proxy with respect to any other matters that may be voted upon.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate the votes, and representatives of Carl Hagberg & Associates will act as inspectors of election.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board recommends that you vote your shares:

• “FOR” each of the nominees to the Board set forth in the Director Election Proposal.

• “FOR” the Ratification Proposal.

• “FOR” the Say on Pay Proposal.

• “FOR” “ONE YEAR” with respect to the Say on Frequency Proposal.

How can I attend and vote at the virtual Annual Meeting?

Any stockholder can attend the Annual Meeting live online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IR2023. If you were a stockholder as of the Record Date, you can vote electronically if you attend the Annual Meeting via the Internet. A summary of the information you need to attend the Annual Meeting via the Internet is provided below:

• Instructions on how to attend and participate via the Internet, including how to demonstrate proof of stock ownership, are posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IR2023;

• Assistance with questions regarding how to attend and participate via the Internet will be provided at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IR2023 on the day of the Annual Meeting;

• Technical support and assistance will be provided at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IR2023 on the day of the Annual Meeting and during the Annual Meeting;

• Stockholders may vote and submit questions while attending the Annual Meeting via the Internet; and

• You will need your 16-Digit Control Number to enter the Annual Meeting.

Will I be able to participate in the virtual Annual Meeting on the same basis I would be able to participate in a live annual meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only and will be conducted via live audio webcast. The online meeting format for the Annual Meeting will enable full and equal participation by all our stockholders from any place in the world at little to no cost.

3

We designed the format of the virtual Annual Meeting to ensure that our stockholders who attend our Annual Meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting and to enhance stockholder access, participation and communication through online tools. We will take the following steps to ensure such an experience:

• Providing stockholders with the ability to submit appropriate questions real-time via the meeting website, limiting questions to one per stockholder unless time otherwise permits; and

• Answering as many questions submitted in accordance with the meeting rules of conduct as possible in the time allotted for the meeting without discrimination.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may have your shares voted by granting a proxy. Specifically, you may submit your proxy:

• By Internet-If you have Internet access, you may submit your proxy by going to www.proxyvote.com and by following the instructions on how to complete an electronic proxy card. You will need the 16-Digit Control Number included on your Notice or your proxy card in order to vote by Internet.

• By Telephone-If you have access to a touch-tone telephone, you may submit your proxy by dialing 1-800-690-6903 and by following the recorded instructions. You will need the 16-Digit Control Number included on your Notice or your proxy card in order to vote by telephone.

• By Mail-You may submit your proxy by mail by requesting a proxy card from us, indicating your vote by completing, signing and dating the card where indicated and by mailing or otherwise returning the card in the envelope that will be provided to you. You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as guardian, executor, trustee, custodian, attorney or officer of a corporation), indicate your name and title or capacity.

If you hold your shares in street name, you may also submit voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. In most instances, you will be able to do this over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. Please refer to information from your bank, broker, or other nominee on how to submit voting instructions.

Internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on June 14, 2023 for the voting of shares held by stockholders of record or held in street name.

Mailed proxy cards with respect to shares held of record or in street name must be received no later than June 14, 2023.

How can I vote the shares I hold through an employee savings plan?

If you participate in the Ingersoll Rand Retirement Savings Plan, you may give voting instructions to the plan trustee with respect to the shares of our common stock that are associated with your plan account by completing the voting instruction card or email notice you receive. The plan trustee will follow your voting instructions unless it determines that to do so would be contrary to law. If you do not provide voting instructions, the plan trustee will act in accordance with the employee benefit plan documents. In general, the plan documents specify that the trustee will vote the shares for which it does not receive instructions in the same proportion that it votes shares for which it received timely instructions, unless it determines that to do so would be contrary to law.

You may revoke previously given instructions by following the instructions provided by the trustee.

The deadline to submit your instructions to the trustee if you hold shares through the Ingersoll Rand Retirement Savings Plan is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on June 12, 2023.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice on or about the same time?

It generally means you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all your shares are voted, please sign and return each proxy card or, if you vote by Internet or telephone, vote once for each Notice you receive.

4

May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

You may change your vote and revoke your proxy at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the stockholder of record, you may change your vote by granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) using any of the methods described above (and until the applicable deadline for each method), by providing a written notice of revocation to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at Ingersoll Rand Inc., 525 Harbour Place Drive, Suite 600, Davidson, North Carolina 28036 prior to your shares being voted, or by attending the Annual Meeting via the Internet and voting. Attendance at the meeting via the Internet will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee following the instructions it has provided.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

At the date this Proxy Statement went to press, we did not know of any matters to be raised at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement.

If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration and you are a stockholder of record and have submitted a proxy card, the persons named in your proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers or employees (for no additional compensation) in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission. Brokers and other nominees will be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses.

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.

Governance Enhancements

Since the completion of the merger of Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. (“Gardner Denver”) with Ingersoll-Rand plc’s Industrials business segment in an all-stock, Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Merger”) in February 2020, we proactively worked to implement corporate governance enhancements. In order to better align our corporate governance with best practices and expand the rights of our stockholders, we adopted various governance reforms subsequent to the Merger.

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. We believe these changes provide our stockholders with a more meaningful voice 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 in the event that the Chair of the Board is not an independent director. The Lead Director is elected by a plurality vote of the independent directors, or via unanimous vote of the independent directors if via written consent action, and 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.

Furthermore, although the Company is not required to hold its say on pay vote until 2024, as part of its governance review, the Board and Compensation Committee considered whether it was appropriate to maintain the Company’s current triennial say on pay vote or instead provide stockholders with an annual say on pay vote. Ultimately, the Board and Compensation Committee determined that holding an annual vote was beneficial in that it would provide more regular stockholder feedback on our executive compensation program and therefore accelerated the say on pay vote to this 2023 Annual Meeting, and is recommending an annual say on pay vote moving forward. Additionally, the Company accelerated the say on frequency vote to this 2023 Annual Meeting (rather than the 2024 annual meeting).

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 Harbour 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.

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Kirk E. Arnold, William P. Donnelly, Gary D. Forsee, Jennifer Hartsock, John Humphrey, Marc E. Jones, Mark Stevenson, Michael Stubblefield and Tony L. White is independent under the guidelines for director independence set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and under all applicable NYSE guidelines, including with respect to committee membership.

Our Board also has determined that each of Messrs. Donnelly, Forsee, Humphrey and Stubblefield and Ms. Hartsock is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that each of Messrs. Jones, Stevenson and White and Mses. Arnold and Hartsock is “independent” for purposes of Section 10C(a)(3) of the Exchange Act.

In sum, all of our current members of our Board of Directors have been determined to be independent 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 Leadership 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 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. The responsibilities of our Lead Director are outlined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

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

12

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.

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.

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 cybersecurity. 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. With respect to cybersecurity, in particular, our cybersecurity team stays abreast of industry trends and best practices with respect to cyber threats, security products and regulatory requirements and is tasked with securing our Information Technology (IT) systems and protecting customer data, intellectual property and privacy data. Additionally, it performs testing of cybersecurity capabilities and engages with third parties to support incident response and penetration testing activities. Our cybersecurity function reports to the office of the Chief Information Officer and provides updates on the status of the Company’s cybersecurity risk and cyber risk preparedness that are reviewed with and assessed by the Audit Committee.

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.

16

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 any risks related to succession planning and any risks arising from our compensation policies and practices that 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 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, and physical and transition risks arising from climate change.

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

Diversity and Sustainability are critically important to us 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 Board’s commitment to this focus on Board diversity has resulted in a Board where five of ten current members (50%) are diverse, including two who are female and three 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

Over the past three years, we have established a clear vision, identified measurable goals and engaged our broad team with a focus on:

• establishing ourselves as a DE&I leader within our industry;

• leveraging diversity, equity and inclusion to attract and retain the best talent, address today’s global challenges, and exceed our business goals; and

• cultivating diversity, promoting equity and pursuing a more inclusive culture that strengthens the sense of belonging for all, which is consistent with our value of Fostering Inspired Teams.

To solidify a successful execution of our strategy, we established a road map prioritizing initiatives through 2025 using our Ingersoll Rand Execution Process (IRX) to build global accountability and timely execution.

In terms of diverse representation, we have two focus areas:

• underrepresented populations (“URT”) in our United States leadership roles. Our current employee base consists of 9.6% U.S. URT in leadership roles with a target of 16% by 2025.

• women globally in leadership roles. Globally, women represent 18.8% of our leadership positions with a goal of 25% by 2025.

Ingersoll Rand supports the following seven employee inclusion groups to build stronger global connections, advocate for positive change and foster an inclusive culture in the organization. An executive leader sponsors

17

each of the following groups and provides guidance to establish goals in support of our company strategies, culture and values to their global members. These groups act as strategic employee resources for talent management, community influence, employee experience, leadership development and mentoring:

• Black Employee Network Inclusion Group

• Veterans Inclusion Group

• Women Inclusion Group

• Hispanic/LatinX Organization of Leadership and Advancement

• Asian Inclusion Group

• Pride Alliance

• IRealabilities - Disability Inclusion Group

In addition, we also have four regional inclusion groups (Europe and Asia Pacific) and one DE&I council in Latin America.

We have deployed unconscious bias training to all salaried employees globally (available in eight languages) and conducted personalized sessions with more than 250 leaders on “DE&I Matters.” We have launched our next phase to train hourly employees, adapting the content to “Respect in the Workplace.” In addition, to support our advancement goals, Ingersoll Rand launched a mentoring program in 2021 which has grown to 382 mentors across the enterprise. We continue creating a safe space for employees by participating in our “Lean into Change” sessions where social and cultural sensitive conversations occur, fostering trust, transparency and community. Profiles in Diversity Journal recognized our “Lean into Change” initiative by awarding us a Top 10 Innovations in Diversity Award.

Central to our inclusion strategy is to make all employees true owners of the Company. In 2022, we made our first equity grants under our new Ownership Works equity program, which allows every one of our employees to become an owner whether they join us as new hires or via acquisition, and since then we have made equity grants to over 3,200 new employees.¹ These new owners are in addition to those employees who became owners through our two landmark all-employee equity grants at the time of our initial public offering and the Merger. Incredibly, the value of the common stock granted to employees through Ownership Works and these landmark grants has appreciated from $275 million to almost $590 million in value as of March 31, 2023. We can see the results of the power of ownership as our employee engagement score has increased each year since the Merger, including in 2022. According to our engagement survey partner, we now rank in the top 10% of manufacturing organizations in the area of employee satisfaction and continue to increase our score in this area even while the industry average score has declined. We feel that the combination of a solid strategy, strong values and clear expectations, coupled with true employee ownership, provides us strong engagement and a competitive edge.

Commitment to Sustainability

In recognition of the importance of sustainability to our business, we established the Sustainability Committee of our Board in 2021 to provide direct oversight and guidance to the execution of our sustainability initiatives. As part of implementing our 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.

Employees must be categorized as full time and have one year of service to be eligible. Not available to employees where prohibited by local law or regulation or where such grant is required to be bargained for with an employee union unless such grant is agreed to as part of such bargaining.

In 2022, we changed the name of our “Operate Sustainably” strategic imperative to “Lead Sustainably” to better recognize that sustainability is fully embedded in every major element of our economic model and strategic decision-making processes. This change was also a recognition that sustainability was a key facet of Making Life Better through the sustainability improvements we made in our own operations, as well as an important element of our growth strategy. To better reflect this, we defined two key aspects of our Lead Sustainably strategic imperative:

• Grow Sustainably. We believe that sustainability and growth go hand in hand and see two dimensions of how sustainability can help drive growth. The first is the development of innovative and intrinsically sustainable products that deliver efficiency, circularity and safety to customers across all markets and regions. The second is the intentional focus on the high-growth, sustainable end markets including food, life science, water and clean energy, which can act has a tailwind to organic growth.

• Operate Sustainably. This aspect of Lead Sustainably reflects our unwavering, authentic commitment to run our business in ways that Make Life Better for all of our stakeholders. Our ambitious 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and landfill goals that we announced in 2021 show our dedication to doing what is right for our communities and our planet.

In 2020, we conducted a materiality assessment that included the input of employees, customers, stockholders, suppliers and other stakeholders. This assessment identified energy use, product stewardship and innovation, and our employees as our most material topics. 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: Governance: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).”

In addition, we continue to focus on transparency with respect to our sustainability progress through our annual sustainability reports, including our 2021 sustainability report released in June 2022, and an investor call on September 22, 2022, where we provided a mid-year update on our sustainability initiatives.

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

As 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.

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.

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, 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 50% of the Board is currently comprised of diverse directors.

In identifying prospective director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek referrals from its members, management, stockholders and other sources. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may, but need not, retain a search firm in order to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as directors of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral. When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide a blend of skills and experience to further enhance the Board’s effectiveness.

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 under “Director Biographies and Qualifications.” Each of the

20

Company’s directors possesses high ethical standards, acts with integrity and exercises careful, mature judgment. Each is committed to employing his or her skills and abilities to aid the long-term interests of the stakeholders of the Company. In addition, our directors are knowledgeable and experienced in one or more business, governmental, or civic endeavors, which further qualifies them for service as members of the Board. A significant number of our directors possess experience in owning and/or managing public and privately held enterprises and are familiar with corporate finance and strategic business planning activities that are unique to publicly traded companies like ours. See the directors’ biographical information set forth above for the important characteristics considered by our Board in determining that our directors should serve as directors of the Company.

In expanding our Board membership in 2022, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluated candidates based on the various factors described above and the candidates’ qualifications, including each candidate’s strength of character, judgment, familiarity with the Company’s business and industry, independence of thought and an ability to work collegially with the other members of the Board. A diverse slate of candidates from multiple sources, including a third-party search firm, interviewed with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and select members of management. The third-party search firm assisted in identifying director prospects, performed candidate outreach, provided information about candidates and performed other related services. Through this process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee received input from directors and stakeholders, and identified a number of qualified director candidates who together represented diverse experience in the areas of cybersecurity, finance, audit, international business transactions, and board level strategy. From this pool of highly qualified candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the Board that it appoint Messrs. Stevenson and Stubblefield and Ms. Hartsock as new directors in 2022.

In selecting Messrs. Stevenson and Stubblefield and Ms. Hartsock as new directors, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the skills and experience that would best complement our strategic imperatives and ensure healthy Board refreshment. Specifically, it selected new directors who would add knowledge in the areas of cybersecurity, digitalization and IIoT, as well as depth in the areas of M&A, organic growth and product innovation. The 2022 additions of Messrs. Stevenson and Stubblefield and Ms. Hartsock evidence our focus on refreshment, reduced our average director tenure and expanded the diversity of our Board. Additionally, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determined that each of these Board additions did not have any arrangements or understandings with any other person pursuant to which he or she was selected as a director, nor did they have a direct or indirect material interest in any transactions that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K at the time of appointment.

In connection with its annual nomination of the full slate of nominees at this year’s Annual Meeting, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assessed the contributions of those directors recommended for re-election in keeping with the director evaluation process described above and other identified needs of the Board. This annual director nomination process resulted in the Board’s nomination for election at the Annual Meeting of the ten incumbent directors named in Proposal 1 in this Proxy Statement.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. Any recommendation submitted to the Secretary of the Company should be in writing and should include any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate in support of that recommendation, but must include information that would be required under the rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate and a written consent of the candidate to serve as one of our directors if elected. Stockholders wishing to propose a candidate for consideration may do so by submitting the above information to the attention of the Secretary of the Company, Ingersoll Rand Inc., 525 Harbour Place Drive, Suite 600, Davidson, North Carolina 28036. All recommendations for nomination received by the Secretary of the Company that satisfy our Bylaw requirements relating to such director nominations will be presented to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for its consideration. Stockholders must also satisfy the notification, timeliness, consent and information requirements set forth in our Bylaws. These requirements are also described under the caption “Stockholder Proposals for the 2024 Annual Meeting.”

PROPOSAL NO. 2-RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC

ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023.

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.

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence and our Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee has responsibility for engaging, setting compensation for and reviewing the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm. In exercising this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approves all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by any independent registered public accounting firm prior to each engagement.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter which is reviewed annually by the Audit Committee. Additionally, a brief description of the primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee is included in this Proxy Statement under “The Board of Directors and Certain Governance Matters-Board Committees and Meetings-Audit Committee.” Under the Audit Committee charter, our management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements, the application of accounting and financial reporting principles and our internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing our financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company with management and with the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence.

Based upon the review and discussions described in the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements of the Company be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC.

PROPOSAL NO. 3—NON-BINDING VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company is requesting that stockholders vote, on a non-binding basis, to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and the tabular executive compensation disclosure, including the “Summary Compensation Table” and accompanying narrative disclosure. While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the results of this vote.

As described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement, our executive compensation programs and underlying principles, as developed and administered by the Compensation Committee, are designed to provide competitive pay opportunities to support the attraction and retention of highly qualified executives while promoting our core values. Our executive compensation programs are structured to be consistent with our pay for performance philosophy and utilize performance measures that are intended to align the executive team’s incentives with the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Although the Company is not required to hold its say on pay vote until 2024 based on the triennial cycle, as part of its governance review, the Board and Compensation Committee considered whether it was appropriate to maintain a triennial say on pay vote, a frequency that was previously approved by stockholders when the Company’s predecessor was considered a “controlled company,” or provide stockholders with an annual say on pay vote instead. Ultimately, the Board and Compensation Committee determined that holding an annual vote was beneficial in that it would provide more regular stockholder feedback on our executive compensation program and has accelerated the say on pay vote to this 2023 Annual Meeting.

The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal No. 3 is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” compensation tables and related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

In considering their vote, stockholders may wish to review with care the information on our compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” as well as the discussion regarding the Compensation Committee presented in this Proxy Statement.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

28

PROPOSAL NO. 4— NON-BINDING VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF

FUTURE VOTES TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, every six years, stockholders are entitled to indicate, on a non-binding basis, their preference as to how frequently they would like to cast a non-binding vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. Stockholders of the Company will have the opportunity to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: (1) one year; (2) two years; (3) three years; or (4) abstain. While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Board intends to carefully consider the results of the vote.

In considering their vote, stockholders may wish to review with care the information presented in connection with Proposal No. 3, the information on our compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, as well as the discussion regarding the Compensation Committee contained in this Proxy Statement.

We believe replacing the current three-year frequency with a one-year frequency is most consistent with the Company’s approach to compensation, which includes the following factors:

• Our Compensation Committee reviews the Company’s executive compensation program regularly to ensure alignment with the goals of attracting and retaining individuals with the qualifications to meet the Company’s strategic objectives and creating value for our stockholders.

• We believe that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation will allow our stockholders to provide us with direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement each year.

• We believe that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with our policy of seeking input from our stockholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices even though it is not required by law.

At the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders indicated their preference to hold a non-binding vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers every three years and our Board of Directors adopted that recommendation; however, rather than waiting for 2024 when the next Say on Frequency vote is required under SEC rules, we are advancing the Say on Frequency vote from 2024 to 2023, in addition to advancing the Say on Pay vote, as described in Proposal No. 3. It is expected that the next vote on a Say on Frequency proposal will occur at our 2029 annual meeting of stockholders.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “ONE YEAR” WITH RESPECT TO HOW FREQUENTLY A STOCKHOLDER VOTE TO APPROVE, IN A NON-BINDING VOTE, THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS SHOULD OCCUR.

29

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Executive Summary

2022 Business Highlights

This year was an exciting year of record financial performance for Ingersoll Rand. A few of the highlights include:

• Record orders of $6,368 million, up 10% over 2021 and up 16% excluding the impact of foreign currency;

• Record revenues of $5,916 million, up 15% over 2021 and up 20% excluding the impact of foreign currency;

• Record Adjusted EBITDA of $1,435 million, up 20% over 2021, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.3%, which was a 120 basis point expansion year-over-year; and³

• Free Cash Flow from continuing operations⁴ of $771 million up 37% over 2021 with each quarter cash flow positive.

This performance was driven by the efforts of our more than 16,000 employees and their steadfast commitment to thinking and acting like owners as well as our competitive differentiator – Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) – which fuels our performance and powers our purpose of Making Life Better. These financial highlights weren’t the only measure of stockholder value creation driven by this powerful combination. We are excited to report significant accomplishments across each of our five strategic imperatives including:

Deploy Talent. In 2022, we launched our new Ownership Works equity program that allows every one of our employees to become an owner - whether they join us as new hires or via acquisition - and since this launch we have made equity grants to over 3,200 new employees.⁵ These new owners are in addition to those employees who became owners through our two landmark all-employee equity grants at the time of our initial public offering and the Merger. Incredibly, the value of the common stock granted to employees through Ownership Works and these landmark grants has appreciated from $275 million to nearly $590 million in value as of March 31, 2023. We can see the results of the power of ownership as our employee engagement score has increased each year since the Merger, including in 2022. According to our engagement survey partner, we now rank in the top 10% of manufacturing organizations in the area of employee satisfaction and continue to increase our score in this area even while the industry average score has declined.

Mr. Miñarro Viseras served as the senior vice president and general manager of the Industrial Technologies and Services, Europe, Middle East, India and Africa (EMEIA) business unit of the Company until April 10, 2023.

3
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric and represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, 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.

4
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP metric and represents cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. For a reconciliation of Free Cash Flows to cash flows from operating activities see Annex A to this Proxy Statement

5
Employees must be categorized as full time and have one year of service to be eligible. Not available to employees where prohibited by local law or regulation or where such grant is required to be bargained for with an employee union unless such grant is agreed to as part of such bargaining.

Accelerate Growth. We accelerated our focus on the global megatrends of digitization, sustainability and energy efficiency, and quality of life through our strategic organic growth enablers: demand generation, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and product and service innovation. Demand Generation, our internally developed comprehensive growth engine, now produces four times the qualified leads compared to 2018. Our opportunity to digitally connect with our global installed base also accelerated in 2022 with 19% of our revenue coming from IIoT-enabled products, which already exceeded our 2023 goal. Our innovation efforts and new product development are laser-focused on efficiency and performance as well as new offerings for high growth sustainable end-markets. These growth enablers helped drive not just record revenues in 2022, but also Adjusted EBITDA growth of 20% and Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of 13% over 2021⁶, continuing us on the path of our goal to consistently compound earnings by double-digits each year.

Lead Sustainably. We introduced our new Lead Sustainably strategic imperative - an expansion from our former Operate Sustainably strategic imperative - to better reflect that sustainability for us is about growth, efficiency and doing good for our planet. Sustainability is one of the key megatrends that we believe will help drive our future growth as (i) we supply our customers with the energy efficient products that help them achieve their scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and (ii) focus our innovation efforts on efficiency, circularity, and safety as well as high growth sustainable end markets. In addition, being named to the DJSI World and North American indices in 2022 reflects the significant progress we have made with respect to our own operations. Our score of 81 on the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment puts us at #1 in North America and #4 in the world within the machinery and electrical industry, and our score on the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment places us in the top decile of all global companies regardless of industry. The improvement from being unranked to making the DJSI indices in just three years was driven by our employees’ dedication to Making Life Better and leveraging our IRX execution excellence model. This again demonstrates how we can leverage the power of IRX to drive performance across a multitude of different initiatives.

Expand Margins. We improved the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin 470 basis points since 2019, including an improvement of 120 basis points in 2022 alone, for an average annual improvement of over 155 basis points, which exceeds our long-term target of 100 bps of margin growth each year.⁷ In addition, cost synergy delivery efforts relating to the Merger have realized an aggregate of $265 million in savings with an additional $35 million in run-rate savings expected to occur in 2023. This performance already exceeds the $250 million commitment we made at the time of the Merger and positions us to meet or exceed the increased $300 million synergy goal we introduced in 2021.

Allocate Capital Effectively. We continued to execute our comprehensive capital allocation strategy designed to drive long-term value creation and compound stockholder returns. The foundation of our strategy remains a focus on mergers and acquisitions and we deployed approximately $800 million in 12 acquisitions in 2022⁸, which we expect to generate over $300 million in annualized revenue in 2023. We also continued to prudently manage our capital structure in the current higher interest environment by paying down $656 million in debt and executing a combination of interest rate swaps and caps and cross currency swaps to better balance fixed/floating interest rate exposure and currency mix of our debt. Finally, we returned $294 million to stockholders in 2022 through share repurchases and dividends.

In summary, our purpose-led culture, our engaged employee-owners, and the power of execution excellence through IRX not only drove a high level of performance in 2022 but have also allowed us to compound stockholder value creation year-over-year. In fact, when measured from the date of our IPO through March 31, 2023, our total stockholder return performance has been 176%, more than double the 72% return by the S&P 500 during the same time period.

Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP metrics. Adjusted Diluted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the number of outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income including interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS to Diluted EPS, see Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

7
Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP metric. Comparison to 2019 is based on Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP metrics described in Annex A to this Proxy Statement. We provided long-term targets on various financial metrics at our Investor Day presentation held on November 18, 2021.

Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award & New CEO Employment Agreement

Background

As previously disclosed, effective as of September 1, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award (the “Performance-Based Award”) to Vicente Reynal, CEO and Chairman of the Board, under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended by the First Amendment, dated April 27, 2021, the “2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The Compensation Committee also approved, effective as of September 1, 2022, a new employment agreement with Mr. Reynal (the “Employment Agreement”).

Rationale

The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Reynal’s vision and leadership have been integral to the Company’s growth and success, as reflected by the significant stockholder value creation during his tenure as CEO. Therefore, the Compensation Committee approved the Performance-Based Award and Employment Agreement to incentivize Mr. Reynal to continue this track record of financial outperformance and retain him as the Company’s CEO for the foreseeable future.

In order to make the Performance-Based Award more effective at achieving its goal of retention, the Company entered into a revised Employment Agreement with Mr. Reynal for an initial term of five years. This new agreement also includes increased non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, which would remain in effect for two years after termination – an increase from the one year stipulated in the prior agreement.

In line with its executive compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee expressly designed the Performance-Based Award to: (i) drive the creation of long-term stockholder value, (ii) further strengthen the alignment of Mr. Reynal’s interests with those of long-term stockholders, and (iii) encourage the retention of Mr. Reynal for the next five to ten years.

Design of The Performance-Based Award

Features of the Performance-Based Award	Drives Exceptional Long- Term Stockholder Value Creation	Aligns Interests With Those of Long-term Stockholders	Encourages Retention
100% Performance-based Incentive	���
5-year Performance Period
Drives Robust Earnings Growth and Stockholder Value Creation
No Guaranteed Compensation
Payout Aligned with Value Creation
Distinct and Discrete Metrics
5-year Cliff-Vesting Performance-Contingent Stock Option Grant Extends Retentive Value and Performance Period
Change in Control (“CIC”) Provisions Protect Against Windfall Payouts and Require “Double Trigger” for Accelerated Vesting

33

Components of Performance-Based Award

The Performance-Based Award has two components:

(i)	Performance Stock Units (PSUs) that vest only if the Company achieves earnings growth objectives and robust stockholder value creation and Mr. Reynal remains employed for at least five years. PSUs would be earned and vested based upon the Company achieving earnings growth objectives (the “Adjusted EPS PSUs”) and robust stockholder value creation (the “TSR PSUs”). In the event that the threshold Adjusted EPS CAGR Goal (as described below) is not achieved during the five-year performance period, the Adjusted EPS PSUs will be automatically forfeited. Similarly, should the TSR Target Price (as defined below) not be achieved during the five-year performance period, the TSR PSUs will automatically be forfeited.			(ii)	Stock Options would be granted only with respect to fiscal years 2022 through 2026 if, and only if, the Company’s Adjusted EPS growth (determined using the same standard used for the Adjusted EPS PSUs) in any such fiscal year is at least 12%, with any stock options granted in the following fiscal year on the same date on which the Company grants its annual long-term incentive plan awards to its senior executives.
	a.	Adjusted EPS PSUs: 75% of the PSUs (750,000 PSUs) are eligible to vest based on the level of compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of the Company’s Adjusted EPS over the 5-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2026 (the “EPS Performance Period”) relative to the fiscal year 2021 Adjusted EPS baseline.		a.	To increase the incentive and retentive value, each grant of stock options will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and will cliff vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Reynal’s continued employment through such respective vesting date.
		Adj. EPS CAGR Goals	# of PSUs Eligible to Vest
		≥10%	250,000
		≥12%	500,000
		≥15%	750,000
	b.	TSR PSUs: 25% of the PSUs (250,000) would be earned (but not vested) only if the TSR Target Price9 of $81.85 is achieved during the five-year period commencing on the date of grant (“TSR Performance Period”). If earned, the award vests at the end of TSR Performance Period only if Mr. Reynal has been continuously employed by the Company throughout the TSR Performance Period.		b.	If the Adjusted EPS goal is not achieved, no stock options would be granted for that fiscal year under this component of the award.

9
The “TSR Target Price” of $81.85 is the absolute stock price equivalent to a five-year CAGR of 12% in the Company’s stock price from the Grant Date Stock Price to the end of the TSR Performance Period and is calculated as the sum of (i) the 60-day volume-weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock, plus (ii) the cumulative value of any dividends paid during the TSR Performance Period through and including such date that equals or exceeds the TSR Target Price. The “Grant Date Stock Price” is $46.45, the 60-day volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the grant date.

Stockholder Engagement, “Say on Pay” Results and Frequency Vote

We value our stockholders’ perspectives on our business and each year proactively interact with investors through numerous engagement activities. In 2022, these included our annual stockholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and various investor conferences and meetings. In addition, in September 2022, we held our second annual sustainability conference call. Throughout 2022, management also proactively engaged directly with our top 50 stockholders with actively managed funds, representing approximately 80% of our stockholder base based on share ownership, through quarterly business updates, non-deal roadshows and investor conferences. This resulted in over 750 individual investor touchpoints with these stockholders where we were able to communicate Company strategy and long-term objectives and receive feedback from stockholders.

At the Company’s annual meeting in June 2021, when stockholders last voted on the advisory “say on pay” proposal, we received over 95% support for our executive compensation program. This vote outcome is consistent with the positive feedback we have continued to receive in discussions with our stockholders since then.

As part of its governance review, the Board and Committee considered whether it was appropriate to maintain a triennial say on pay vote, a frequency that was previously approved by stockholders when the Company’s predecessor was considered a “controlled company” (as defined under NYSE listing standards), or provide stockholders with an annual say on pay vote instead. Ultimately, the Board and Committee determined that holding an annual vote was beneficial in that it would provide more regular stockholder feedback on our executive compensation program. Further, the Board and Committee also decided to provide stockholders with an annual advisory vote starting in 2023, rather than waiting for 2024 when the next say on pay and say on pay frequency vote was required under SEC rules. Finally, reflecting its commitment to strong corporate governance, the Board also advanced the say on pay frequency vote from 2024 to 2023, and is recommending that stockholders support an annual say on pay vote (see Proposal No. 4).

What Guides Our Program

Executive Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation philosophy is centered on two key tenets and grounded in the following principles:

 

35

Compensation Elements

Our compensation philosophy is supported by the following principal pay elements:

Element	Target Positioning vs. Market	Primary Objectives
Base Salary	At or below median	•	Attract and retain high-performing and experienced individuals
		•	Provide steady source of income
Annual Cash Incentives	At median	•	Motivate executives to achieve challenging short-term performance goals
		•	Align with annual financial objectives
Long-Term Equity Incentives	Above the 50th percentile	•	Align executives’ interests with those of stockholders
		•	Align with long-term business strategy
		•	Retain executive talent through multi-year vesting schedules
		•	Motivate sustainable performance that creates long-term value for stockholders
		•	Foster our Purpose and Values to build teams that think and act like owners

The following charts illustrate that a majority of NEO annual target total direct compensation (“TDC”) is performance-based. For our CEO, 89% of TDC is at risk with the vast majority delivered through long-term incentives. On average, at risk compensation for our other NEOs represents 76% of TDC.

2022 Executive Compensation Program in Detail

Base Salary

Base salary is the only fixed component of NEO cash compensation. An NEO’s base salary is commensurate with the individual’s level of responsibility and provides them with a level of cash income predictability and stability. The Compensation Committee believes that base salaries for executives should reflect competitive levels of pay and factors unique to each executive such as experience and breadth of responsibilities, performance, individual skill set, time in the role and internal pay parity. Base salaries are reviewed annually or at other times when appropriate (for example, promotions, changes in job scope and/or responsibilities, etc.) and may be increased from time to time pursuant to such review.

Consistent with our philosophy to focus on long-term variable pay over fixed cash compensation, the Compensation Committee generally established 2022 base salary rates at or below the median of Peer Group salary levels. After maintaining base salaries for the majority of executive officers at 2020 rates in 2021 due to pandemic-related uncertainty, the Compensation Committee decided for 2022 to return to its normal course of market- and merit-based salary adjustments.

The following table reflects the base salary rates of our NEOs as of December 31, 2022:

NEO	Base Salary Rate as of 12/31/21	Base Salary Rate as of 12/31/22	% Increase
Vicente Reynal	$1,000,000	$1,100,000	10%
Vikram Kini	$500,000	$525,000	5%
Enrique Miñarro Viseras(1)	$490,000	$505,000	2%
Andrew Schiesl	$500,000	$500,000	—%
Michael Weatherred	$415,000	$430,000	4%

(1)
Mr. Miñarro Viseras is based in Europe and compensated in Euros. His 2021 base salary was approved by the Compensation Committee at a rate of $490,000 USD per year, which, in an effort to eliminate any extreme fluctuation in exchange rates, was translated to €432,125 EUR at the 5-year average exchange rate as of December 31, 2020. His 2022 base salary was approved by the Compensation Committee at a rate of $505,000 USD per year and was translated to €439,470 EUR at the 5-year average exchange rate as of December 31, 2021. 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 against preset goals. Our MIP covers all managers above a certain level (including our NEOs), which includes more than 1,450 employees world-wide.

The MIP pays out to participants based on levels of performance against preset goals for financial metrics established by the Compensation Committee. To be eligible for a payout, a participant must be employed by the Company through the payment date or have an Approved Retirement (as defined below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control―Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards in the Event of Termination of Employment or Change in Control―Equity awards granted 2018-2022”) on or after the end of the year but before the payment date.

37

A target annual bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of an NEO’s base salary rate at year-end, is established annually and may be adjusted from time to time by the Compensation Committee in connection with a NEO’s promotion or performance. The table below shows the 2022 target annual cash bonus opportunities for each of the NEOs.

NEO	Target Bonus Opportunity (as a % of Salary)
Vicente Reynal	150%
Vikram Kini	85%
Enrique Miñarro Viseras	85%
Andrew Schiesl	75%
Michael Weatherred	75%

2022 Performance Measures.

For 2022, annual cash bonus awards for Corporate NEOs (Messrs. Reynal, Kini, Schiesl, and Weatherred) were based on the achievement of overall corporate performance. Mr. Miñarro Viseras’ annual cash bonus award was based in part on the achievement of overall Industrial Technologies and Services (“ITS”) group performance (excluding the power tools division) and in part on the achievement of Industrial Technologies and Services EMEIA (“ITS EMEIA”) performance to reflect his leadership of the ITS EMEIA business unit in 2022 and his ability to impact the overall ITS segment.

For 2022, 75% of our MIP structure was based on Adjusted EBITDA¹⁰ performance against preset goals that align with the Company’s budget. The Compensation Committee determined that an incentive design with a focus on Adjusted EBITDA was appropriate because it provides a reliable indicator of both our strategic growth and the strength of our overall financial results. As a balance to this profitability metric and in support of a focus on operational efficiency, the remaining 25% of the MIP structure was based on Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue.¹¹

For our Corporate NEOs, 100% of the MIP structure is determined based on total Company performance against the respective goals for both financial metrics. For our NEO at the ITS EMEIA business unit, Mr. Miñarro Viseras, performance against the Adjusted EBITDA financial metric is based 30% on the total ITS segment (excluding the power tools division), and 70% on the ITS EMEIA business unit, and performance against the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue financial metric is based 100% on the ITS EMEIA business unit.

The following table details the MIP payout percentage associated with a corresponding performance level against the Adjusted EBITDA targets for our NEOs and against the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue targets for our Corporate NEOs. The payout percentage for performance between such levels is determined on a linear basis:

Performance Level	Adjusted EBITDA Performance % of Target	Net Operating Working Capital % of Total Revenue*	Payout % of Target
Below Threshold	<90%	>18.3%	0%
Threshold	90%	18.3%	50%
Target	100%	17.4%	100%
Maximum	110%	16.3%	200%

*
Goals reflect Total Company figures that applied to Messrs. Reynal, Kini, Schiesl, and Weatherred. For Mr. Miñarro Viseras’ business unit, threshold, target, and maximum goals were 24.5%, 23.3%, and 22.0%, respectively.

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

11
Defined as Accounts Receivables and Contract Assets + Inventory (excluding LIFO) - Accounts Payable - Contract Liabilities

38

As part of the terms of the MIP, the Compensation Committee has discretion to make plan adjustments to the MIP that can impact the award amount for some or all of the more than 1,450 participating employees. When such a plan adjustment is made, the impact of the adjustment is the same for all similarly situated participants including our NEOs.

For 2022, the Compensation Committee did not make a plan adjustment to the calculated MIP result for the Adjusted EBITDA portion (75% of MIP) of our program. However, after significant deliberation of the factors described below, the Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate to make a plan adjustment to payouts based on the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue metric (25% of the MIP payouts) for participating corporate and ITS EMEIA employees. The Compensation Committee also determined, for the reasons discussed below, it was appropriate to make an additional plan adjustment to the overall payout for participating ITS EMEIA business unit employees.

The Company did not achieve threshold performance for the Net Operating Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue metric for the Company or the ITS EMEIA business unit, and the formulaic payout factor in both cases was 0%. In reviewing whether this outcome was appropriate for all 563 participating corporate and ITS EMEIA employees, the Compensation Committee carefully considered multiple macroeconomic factors including extraordinary supply chain disruptions and the Company’s decision to increase inventory levels in order to successfully satisfy customer demand. The Compensation Committee also noted that these challenges were navigated while still generating positive free cash flow¹² each quarter. Ultimately, the Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate to adjust payouts for this component of the MIP to the threshold payout level for all participating corporate and ITS EMEIA employees (including our NEOs) given these factors were entirely beyond the control of the MIP participants and in light of the Company’s overall strong financial performance and strategic achievements during the year.

The Compensation Committee also determined that a further overall plan adjustment was appropriate for participating ITS EMEIA employees (including Mr. Miñarro Viseras) to reflect the extraordinary impacts on the region from the shutdown of our Russia-based operations as a fallout of the war in Ukraine. The Compensation Committee recognized that the ITS EMEIA business unit made the correct decision to exit Russia, which impacted overall ITS EMEIA performance disproportionally to the rest of the business.

Prior to the plan adjustment for corporate participants, the actual calculated MIP payout for our corporate employees resulted in a formulaic payout factor of 106% of target. After the adjustment, the overall payout factor for all participating corporate employees (including our Corporate NEOs) increased to 119%. Prior to the plan adjustments for the ITS EMEIA participants, the actual calculated MIP payout for our ITS EMEIA employees resulted in a formulaic payout factor of 67% of target. After the adjustments, the overall payout factor for all participating ITS EMEIA employees (including Mr. Miñarro Viseras) was increased to 95%, maintaining a payout below target level. The Compensation Committee believes that these adjustments are consistent with our compensation philosophy and in the best interests of our stockholders.

The following table sets forth our actual payout percentage with respect to each performance metric applicable to our NEOs and illustrates the annual cash incentive awards payable to our NEOs under the 2022 MIP in light of these performance results and the plan adjustments made by the Compensation Committee described above.

				Adjusted EBITDA (75%)		NWC % of Revenue (25%)

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

Annual PSU, RSU and Stock Option Awards

Our long-term incentive awards, established through our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, are intended to drive executives to deliver strong stock performance, align our executives’ compensation with long-term value creation, and to attract and retain highly-qualified executives. The details of these awards are as follows:

• 50% in Performance Share Units (PSUs). The PSUs have a 3-year performance period that runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024 (the “Performance Period”) with the vesting of award based on Relative TSR vs. S&P 500 Industrials as follows:

○ Threshold Performance: 35th percentile ranking vs. index = 50% payout

○ Target Performance: 55th percentile ranking vs. index = 100% payout

○ Superior Performance: 75th (or greater) percentile ranking vs. index = 200% payout (capped)

To ensure better alignment of payouts with stockholder value creation, even if relative performance would have resulted in a payout above target, the payout under the PSUs is capped at target if the Company’s absolute TSR is negative.

TSR is calculated as the appreciation in the price per share of a company’s common stock during the Performance Period (assuming any dividends or distributions are reinvested), expressed as a percentage. Relative TSR is based on the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR against the TSRs of the companies and entities that, on January 1, 2022, comprised the S&P 500 Industrials.¹³

• 25% in Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). RSUs vest in equal, annual installments over a four-year period.

• 25% in Time-Vesting Stock Options. Stock Options vest in equal, annual installments over a four-year period, and expire 10 years from the grant date.

Total target values for annual equity awards granted in 2022 for each NEO are shown below:

NEO	PSUs (50%)	RSUs (25%)	Stock Options (25%)
Vicente Reynal	$3,500,000	$1,750,000	$1,750,000
Vikram Kini	$700,000	$350,000	$350,000
Enrique Miñarro Viseras	$587,500	$293,750	$293,750
Andrew Schiesl	$550,000	$275,000	$275,000
Michael Weatherred	$425,000	$212,500	$212,500

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

13
If prior to the end of the Performance Period, a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 Industrials on January 1, 2022 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, 2022, becomes Insolvent prior to the end of the Performance Period, then such company or entity will be treated as having a cumulative TSR of negative one hundred percent (-100%).

40

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

2023 Compensation Actions

2020-2022 PSU Award Certified in 2023

On February 13, 2023, the Compensation Committee certified that the TSR performance for the 2020-2022 performance period was 55%, which placed the Company in the 78^th percentile of S&P 500 companies (which was the comparator group for TSR measurement approved at the time of grant), resulting in a maximum payout of 200% of target. The PSUs resulting from this performance vested on February 13, 2023 with respect to each NEO as shown below:

NEO	Target # PSUs Granted in 2020	2020-22 PSU Payout Factor	# PSUs Earned at 2022YE (Distributed in 2023)
Vicente Reynal	120,546	200%	241,092
Vikram Kini	17,864	200%	35,728
Enrique Miñarro Viseras	17,992	200%	35,984
Andrew Schiesl	17,092	200%	34,184
Michael Weatherred	12,594	200%	25,188

MIP Design Change

For the year 2023, we made two changes to our MIP performance metrics. First, for corporate managers (including our corporate NEOs) we moved from Adjusted EBITDA as a metric (75% of total MIP opportunity for corporate managers) to adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”). Adjusted EBITDA remained the earnings metric for business unit managers (including Mr. Miñarro Viseras). Second, the Net Working Capital Percent of Revenue metric (25% of the total MIP opportunity for all participating managers) was replaced with Free Cash Flow for corporate managers (including or corporate NEOs) and was replaced with “Business Operating Cash Flow” for business unit managers (including Mr. Miñarro Viseras). “Business Operating Cash Flow” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less change in Net Working Capital less Capex.

We believe these changes to our MIP better incentivize the activities by our managers that drive long-term shareholder value creation and better align our executives’ focus with those of our stockholders.

New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement

In connection with the change in his role to senior vice president & general manager, Global Precision and Science Technologies, in April 2023, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras, effective April 3, 2023 (the “New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement”). The material terms of the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement are described under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2022—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements—Employment Agreements with Mr. Miñarro Viseras” below.

CEO Performance-Conditioned Stock Options Certified in 2023

For fiscal year 2022, the Company achieved adjusted EPS (as defined in the Performance-Based Award) growth of more than 12% over such adjusted EPS in 2021. As a result, in February 2023 the Compensation Committee certified that the first tranche of the CEO’s performance-conditioned stock options had been earned, and on February 23, 2023, Mr. Reynal was awarded stock options to purchase 100,000 shares. These stock options cliff-vest on February 22, 2028, creating significant retention value.

The Decision-Making Process

The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The Compensation Committee works closely with its independent consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program throughout the year. For additional information regarding the Compensation Committee, see “The Board of Directors and Certain Governance Matters―Board Committees and Meetings―Compensation Committee.”

The Role of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee ensures that the executive compensation program supports the Company’s business goals and aligns with stockholder interests. The Compensation Committee annually reviews NEO compensation levels by considering various factors, including:

• The relative importance of each NEO’s role and responsibilities

• How the NEO has performed relative to these roles and responsibilities

• Compensation practices of Peer Group companies (as defined below)

• Overall company performance

• Retention and succession considerations

The Role of Management. Our CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation for the executive officers other than himself. No member of management participates in discussions with the Compensation Committee regarding his or her own compensation.

The Role of the Independent Consultant. The Compensation Committee has retained Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”), a compensation consulting firm, to assist it in evaluating the elements and levels of our executive compensation, including base salaries, annual cash incentive awards and equity-based incentives for our executive officers. In April 2023, the Compensation Committee determined that Pearl Meyer is independent from management and that Pearl Meyer’s work has not raised any conflicts of interest. Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Compensation Committee and the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to approve Pearl Meyer’s compensation and may terminate the relationship at any time.

During 2022, the Compensation Committee directed Pearl Meyer to provide its expertise and analysis on a variety of topics, including competitive market assessment for executive and non-employee director compensation levels, compensation peer group review, review of governance matters pertaining to executive and employee compensation, the structure of short- and long-term incentive programs, and the development of Mr. Reynal’s Performance-Based Award.

Peer Group. The Compensation Committee believes it is important to understand current trends in compensation practices and pay levels for companies that are comparable to Ingersoll Rand. To assist the Compensation Committee in this analysis, the Compensation Committee, together with its independent consultant and input from management, develops a compensation Peer Group of comparable companies against which it performs benchmarking (the “Peer Group”).

The Compensation Committee, together with its independent compensation consultant and input from management, developed a compensation Peer Group of 13 companies. Companies chosen are comparable in revenue and enterprise value to the Company, as the Compensation Committee believes revenue and enterprise value are key determinants of compensation levels. Companies selected generally have revenue of 0.5x - 2x of Ingersoll Rand’s revenue and enterprise value. In addition to size, companies are in comparable industries where we compete for executive talent. After taking these considerations into account, the Compensation Committee decided to use the following Peer Group to help set compensation levels for 2022:

AMETEK, Inc.	Avery Dennison Corporation	Celanese Corporation
Dover Corporation	Flowserve Corporation	Fortive Corporation
IDEX Corporation	Mettler-Toledo International, Inc.	Oshkosh Corporation
Parker-Hannifin Corporation	Pentair Plc	Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Xylem, Inc.

The Compensation Committee does not rely solely on data from the Peer Group in establishing compensation levels and practices, but uses it to support the implementation of the Company’s compensation

42

philosophy and the application of the factors described above when setting executive compensation. Given the Company’s focus on delivering long-term value creation for our stockholders, the Compensation Committee generally targets cash compensation of the NEOs at or below the median of the Peer Group and long-term equity incentive compensation greater than the 50^th percentile of the Peer Group. Additionally, the Compensation Committee may also consider survey compensation data based on companies of similar size to Ingersoll Rand.

In 2022, during its annual review of the Peer Group, the Compensation Committee, using similar criteria as to what is highlighted above, adopted the following 12 company Peer Group for 2023 compensation actions:

AMETEK, Inc.	Dover Corporation	Flowserve Corporation
Fortive Corporation	IDEX Corporation	Illinois Tool Works*
Mettler-Toledo International, Inc.	Nordson Corporation*	Parker-Hannifin Corporation
Pentair Plc	Rockwell Automation, Inc.	Xylem, Inc.

*
Added to the Peer Group in 2022. Avery Dennison Corporation, Celanese Corporation, and Oshkosh Corporation were removed.

Other Compensation Practices and Policies that Align Our NEOs to Our Stockholders

Stock Ownership and Retention Policy

To align the interests of our management and directors with those of our long-term stockholders, the Board of Directors concluded that certain of our executives (the “Covered Executives”) and non-employee directors should have a significant financial stake in the Company’s stock. To further that goal, we implemented market-leading stock ownership guidelines (the “Guidelines”) in 2017, the year we completed our initial public offering. The Covered Executives and non-employee directors are required to hold a specific level of equity ownership as outlined below.

Covered Executives: The Guidelines apply to the Covered Executives in three tiers. The stock ownership levels under the Guidelines, expressed as a multiple of the Covered Executive’s annual base salary rate as of January 1^st 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. This requirement drops to 20% for a Covered Executive upon the earlier of a (1) such Covered Executive reaching the age of 55 and (2) such covered executive achieving 10 years of service with the Company. The requirement terminates upon the earlier of (1) such Covered Executive reaching the age of 60 and (2) such covered executive achieving 15 years of service with the Company.

The shares counted toward these ownership requirements include shares owned outright and vested stock options. The retention requirement applies to all prior and future grants. These ownership requirements are set at levels that the Company believes are robust given the Covered Executives’ respective salaries and responsibilities.

Non-Employee Directors: Our non-employee directors are required to hold 75% of net shares granted to them under our benefit plans until they own equity equal to five times their annual cash retainers. Once the ownership guideline is met, directors must retain 30% of the net shares granted to them under our benefit plans until their retirement.

As of January 1, 2023, all of our NEOs and then serving directors who were with the Company for at least one year were in compliance with the applicable stock ownership requirements under the Guidelines.

43

Hedging and Pledging Policies

The Company’s Securities Trading Policy requires executive officers and directors to consult the Company’s General Counsel prior to engaging in transactions involving the Company’s securities. The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits directors and executive officers from hedging or monetization transactions including, but not limited to, through the use of financial instruments such as exchange funds, variable forward contracts, equity swaps, puts, calls, and other derivative instruments, or through the establishment of a short position in the Company’s securities. The Company’s Securities Trading Policy limits the pledging of Company securities to those situations approved by the Company’s General Counsel.

Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy

We have adopted a clawback policy for incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee determined that it may be appropriate to recover annual and/or long-term incentive compensation in specified situations. Under the policy, if the Compensation Committee determines that incentive compensation of its current and former Section 16 officers (or any other employee designated by the Board or the Compensation Committee) was overpaid, in whole or in part, as a result of a restatement of the reported financial results of the Company or any of its segments due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements (unless due to a change in accounting policy or applicable law), then the Compensation Committee will determine, in its discretion, whether to seek to recover or cancel any overpayment of incentive compensation paid or awarded during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement.

Other Benefits

While our compensation philosophy is to focus on performance-based forms of compensation while providing only minimal executive benefits and perquisites, we provide to all our employees, including our NEOs, broad-based employee benefits that are intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security. These include:

• a 401(k) savings plan;

• medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage; and

• dependent care and healthcare flexible spending accounts.

401(k) Plan

Our U.S. eligible employees, including our NEOs other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, participate in the Ingersoll Rand Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) plan”), which is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan. Eligible employees hired on and after January 1, 2014, are automatically enrolled in the 401(k) plan to make pre-tax salary contributions, unless they decline participation. Under the 401(k) plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a participant’s eligible pre-tax and/or Roth salary contributions, subject to all IRS annual limits and plan limitations. Participants are 100% vested in employee salary contributions and Company matching contributions. 401(k) plan participants may elect to contribute up to 85% of their annual eligible compensation (either through pre-tax or Roth contributions), subject to annual IRS and plan limitations.

Supplemental Defined Contribution Plan

In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary band of 8 or higher (generally senior directors and above), including the NEOs other than Mr. Miñarro Viseras, are eligible to participate in the Ingersoll Rand Supplemental Defined Contribution Plan (the “Supplemental Contribution Plan”), which is funded through a Rabbi Trust. This Supplemental Contribution Plan is intended to permit Company matching contributions on eligible participant compensation contributions to the Supplemental Contribution Plan in excess of the annual limitations imposed by the IRS on our tax-qualified 401(k) plan.

Eligible employees may contribute up to 50% of their salary and/or eligible annual bonus compensation to the Supplemental Contribution Plan. Under the Supplemental Contribution Plan, after an eligible employee exceeds the annual IRS pre-tax/Roth contribution limits and the annual catch up contribution limit for participants age 50 and older or compensation limit under the 401(k) plan, we match 100% of the first 6% of a

44

participant’s further eligible contributions to the Supplemental Contribution Plan. Company matching contributions under the Supplemental Contribution Plan are contributed to the Rabbi Trust in the form of cash rather than our common stock. All employee and Company matching contributions under the Supplemental Contribution Plan are fully vested immediately.

Limited Perquisites

Executive perquisites are not part of our general compensation philosophy; however, we provide limited perquisites and personal benefits that are not generally available to all employees when necessary to attract top talent. For instance, beginning in 2021, certain of our senior executives, including each of the NEOs, are eligible for a tax and financial planning benefit, under which participating executives are reimbursed for qualified services (up to $10,000 per year) and participation in our executive physical program.

In addition, from time to time, we may set forth additional perquisites in offer letters or employment agreements we enter into with our executive officers. These arrangements are discussed under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2022—Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements.” For example, in 2022, per their respective employment agreements, Mr. Reynal was entitled to limited personal use of Company-leased aircraft, and Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to use of a company car.

Severance and Change in Control Agreements

The Company believes that reasonable and appropriate severance and change in control benefits are necessary in order to be competitive in the Company’s executive attraction and retention efforts. As discussed below, the offer letters we enter into with our NEOs provide for certain payments, rights and benefits to the NEOs upon an involuntary termination of employment without “cause” or a termination by the NEO for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control-Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants” below). In addition, our equity award agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control in certain circumstances and upon certain qualifying terminations of employment, as more fully described above under “―Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2022―Terms of Equity Awards.”

Risk Management and Mitigation of Compensation Policies and Practices

The Compensation Committee has reviewed our incentive compensation programs, discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program, considered various mitigating factors, and reviewed these items with its independent consultant, Pearl Meyer. In addition, the Compensation Committee asked Pearl Meyer to conduct an independent risk assessment of our executive and other compensation programs. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Compensation Committee does not believe our compensation program creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.

For the foregoing reasons, the Compensation Committee has concluded that the programs by which our executives are compensated strike an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term compensation and incentivize our executives to act in a manner that prudently manages enterprise risk.

Employment Agreements

We entered into offer letters setting forth initial compensation and benefits, as well as severance terms, with Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl and Weatherred at the time of their initial employment. In addition, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras in October 2018 in connection with our competitive review of executive officer compensation. As previously noted, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Reynal in September 2022. We also entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras effective April 3, 2023 (the “New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement”). Full descriptions of the material terms of the employment agreement with Messrs. Reynal, the employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras in effect on December 31, 2022 and the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, and the offer letters with Messrs. Schiesl and Weatherred are presented below in “―Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2022.”

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2022

Summary of NEO Offer Letters and Employment Agreements

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

47

October 2018, and a new employment agreement in April 2023. Descriptions of the offer letters we entered into with Messrs. Reynal, Schiesl, and Weatherred, and the employment agreement with Mr. Reynal and the employment agreements with Mr. Miñarro Viseras are provided below.

Employment Agreement with Mr. Reynal

Effective September 1, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved a new employment agreement with Mr. Reynal. The employment agreement, which supersedes Mr. Reynal’s prior offer letter with the Company (the “Prior Agreement”), provides for an initial term of five years (with automatic one-year renewals), an annual base salary of $1,100,000 (which is an increase of $100,000 from his annual base salary in 2021), an annual target bonus of 150% of annual base salary (which target bonus remains unchanged from the Prior Agreement) and eligibility for the performance-conditioned stock option grants described above under “Executive Summary - Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award & New CEO Employment Agreement.”

Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Reynal’s severance entitlements for a termination by the Company without “Cause” or his resignation for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Employment Agreement) remain unchanged from the Prior Agreement and are discussed below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control.” The Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Reynal may make personal use of the aircraft leased by the Company for an amount of time that does not result in the Company incurring more than $200,000 in aggregate incremental costs per year.

In addition, in exchange for entering into the Employment Agreement and receiving the Performance-Based Award, the post-termination non-competition, non-solicitation of clients and non-solicitation of employees covenants increased from 12 months under the Prior Agreement to 24 months.

Employment Agreements with Mr. Miñarro Viseras

The employment agreement the Company entered into with Mr. Miñarro Viseras on October 22, 2018 (the “Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement”) provided that Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to receive a base salary of €330,000, was eligible to participate in the annual MIP with an award opportunity of up to 45% of his base salary, and was eligible to participate in our Management Equity Program. In addition, under the Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, in 2022, Mr. Miñarro Viseras was entitled to use of a company car and was also covered under the standard group accident insurance of the Company.

On April 10, 2023, we entered into the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, effective April 3, 2023, in connection with the appointment of Mr. Miñarro Viseras to the position of senior vice president and general manager, Global Precision and Science Technologies. Pursuant to the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, Mr. Miñarro Viseras will receive a base salary of $540,000 and continued entitlement to use of a company car. Under the New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement, we are required to provide Mr. Miñarro Viseras with six months’ notice in the event of his termination, and we have the option to place him on garden leave during all or part of his notice period immediately until the date of termination provided we continue to pay him his full pay and benefits during such notice period. The New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement subjects Mr. Miñarro Viseras to non-competition, non-solicitation of clients and non-solicitation of employees covenants that apply during his employment, notice period, as well as for six months following termination of employment (or the start of garden leave, if sooner). Mr. Miñarro Viseras is entitled to continue to receive his base salary during the six-month post-termination restriction period as consideration for such covenants, which amount must be repaid by him if he violates the restrictive covenants. The New Miñarro Viseras Employment Agreement otherwise has terms that are materially consistent with his prior employment agreement.

Offer Letter with Mr. Schiesl

The Company entered into an offer letter with Mr. Schiesl, dated November 25, 2013 (the “Schiesl Offer Letter”). The Schiesl Offer Letter provides that Mr. Schiesl is entitled to receive a base salary of $450,000 and is eligible to participate in the annual MIP with a target award opportunity of 75% of his base salary.

Mr. Schiesl is also eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k), Supplemental Contribution, medical, dental, life insurance and disability plans, along with a comprehensive wellness program.

The Schiesl Offer Letter also contains severance arrangements, which are discussed below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control.”

Offer Letter with Mr. Weatherred

The Company entered into an offer letter with Mr. Weatherred, dated April 30, 2018 (the “Weatherred Offer Letter”), in connection with his appointment as Vice President, Gardner Denver Operating System. The Weatherred Offer Letter provides that Mr. Weatherred is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $345,000, and to participate in the Company’s Management Incentive Plan with an annual target award opportunity of 50% of his annual base salary. Mr. Weatherred was eligible to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive plan with a target annual equity grant opportunity equal to $275,000.

The Weatherred Offer Letter also contains severance arrangements, which are discussed below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control.”

(2)
Represents the amount of the matching contribution made by us in accordance with our Supplemental 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 2022 in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

(3)
Amounts in this column are not reported as compensation for fiscal 2022 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, $83,485 in fiscal 2019, $361,310 in fiscal 2020, and $187,612 in fiscal 2021; Mr. Kini, $207,607 in fiscal 2020, and $286,810 in fiscal 2021; Mr. Schiesl, $65,536 in 2016, $114,162 in fiscal 2017, $50,766 in fiscal 2018, $46,000 in fiscal 2019, $98,998 in fiscal 2020, and $103,562 in fiscal 2021; and Mr. Weatherred, $20,994 in fiscal 2019, $65,422 in fiscal 2020, and $11,916 in fiscal 2021.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

In addition to the 401(k) plan, U.S. employees with a salary band 8 or higher (generally senior director and above) are eligible to participate in the Supplemental Contribution Plan. The participant selects the deferral percentage for the Supplemental Contribution Plan at the time of initial enrollment in the Supplemental Contribution Plan or once per year in December for the following year. In December of each year, a participant may make a separate election to defer from the annual MIP award earned the following year and payable in the year thereafter. The Company matches each participant’s contributions to the Supplemental Contribution Plan with Company matching contributions. The Company match consists of $1 for each $1 the participant defers under the Supplemental Contribution Plan (up to the first 6% of a participant’s annual eligible compensation), less any matching contribution made to the 401(k) plan. The Company match is credited to the Supplemental Contribution Plan in the form of cash.

With respect to employee and Company matching contributions made to the Supplemental 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 these distribution elections 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 Supplemental 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 Supplemental Contribution Plan. Loans are not permitted under the Supplemental Contribution Plan.

The investment options available to participants, including the NEOs, under the Supplemental Contribution Plan are similar to those offered to all of the participants in the 401(k) plan. Because some specific investment

51

options available under the 401(k) plan are not available under the Supplemental Contribution Plan, the Company has made similar investment options available to the Supplemental Contribution Plan participants. Our stock is not a permitted investment option under the Supplemental Contribution Plan.

Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

The following table describes the potential payments and benefits that would have been payable to our NEOs under existing plans and arrangements assuming a qualifying termination if a termination or change in control occurred on December 30, 2022, the last business day of our 2022 fiscal year. A description of the provisions governing such payments under our agreements and any material conditions or obligations applicable to the receipt of payments is described below under “Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants.”

The amounts shown in the table do not include payments and benefits to the extent they are provided generally to all salaried employees upon termination of employment and do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of the NEOs. These include accrued but unpaid salary and distributions of plan balances under our 401(k) savings plan.

See “Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards in the Event of Termination of Employment or Change in Control―Equity awards granted 2018-2022” below. For purposes of the amounts reported in this table in respect of Mr. Reynal’s Adjusted EPS PSU award, we have assumed that, as of December 30, 2022, there were four completed fiscal quarters during the EPS Performance Period applicable to such award.

Severance Arrangements and Restrictive Covenants

Under the terms of Mr. Reynal’s employment agreement, Messrs. Schiesl’s and Weatherred’s offer letters, and the severance terms applicable to Mr. Kini, if the Company terminates their employment without “cause” or any of them terminates their employment for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the applicable employment agreement or severance terms), subject to certain conditions and on-going commitments, they will be entitled to receive:

• Continued payment over a 12-month period (the “Severance Period”) of their then-current annual base salary, 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).

Under the employment agreement with Mr. Miñarro Viseras that was in effect on December 30, 2022, we are required to provide him 12 months’ notice in the event of his termination, with the option to terminate him immediately with a lump sum payment of 12 months’ salary. For more details of these agreements, see “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2022― 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 Supplemental Contribution Plan. See “―Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Fiscal 2022.”

Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards in the Event of Termination of Employment or Change in Control

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

53

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,” “Cause,” “Detrimental Activity,” and “Retirement” have the definitions set forth in the relevant grant agreement or the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as applicable.

CEO Performance-Based Leadership Equity Incentive Award

Effect of Qualifying Termination or Termination due to Death or Disability on Vesting of the Adjusted EPS PSUs

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

If Mr. Reynal dies, becomes permanently disabled or experiences a Qualifying Termination prior to the end of the EPS Performance Period, the calculation to determine the number of Adjusted EPS PSUs, if any, that will become vested will be conducted as though (i) the last day of the EPS Performance Period was the date on which such termination occurs and (ii) the Company’s Adjusted EPS will be the Adjusted EPS for the last four completed fiscal quarters during the EPS Performance Period prior to the date of such termination (or, if there are not four completed fiscal quarters at the time of such termination, then all of the Adjusted EPS PSUs will be forfeited on the date of such termination) and, if the reason for such termination is a Qualifying Termination, the number of Adjusted EPS PSUs that will become vested will be prorated by the number of days Mr. Reynal was employed during the EPS Performance Period.

Effect of a Change in Control on Vesting of the Adjusted EPS PSUs

If a change in control (as defined in the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan) occurs following the expiration of the EPS Performance Period but prior to the EPS PSU Vesting Date, then the Adjusted EPS PSUs will vest on the closing of such change in control based on the achievement of Adjusted EPS in accordance with the table above under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control” so long as Mr. Reynal has remained in continuous employment with the Company through such change in control.

If a change in control occurs during the EPS Performance Period and the award is not assumed, then the calculation to determine the number of Adjusted EPS PSUs that will become eligible to vest will be conducted as though (i) the last day of the EPS Performance Period was the date of the change in control and (ii) the Company’s Adjusted EPS will be measured based on the last four completed fiscal quarters (or, if there are not four completed fiscal quarters at the time of such change in control, then all of the Adjusted EPS PSUs will be forfeited upon the change in control). The number of Adjusted EPS PSUs, if any, resulting from such calculation will become vested on the closing of the change in control so long as Mr. Reynal has remained continuously employed through such change in control.

If a change in control occurs prior to the expiration of the EPS Performance Period and the award is assumed by the successor to the Company, and Mr. Reynal is subsequently terminated due to death, permanent disability or a Qualifying Termination following such change in control but prior to the end of the EPS Performance Period, the Adjusted EPS PSUs will become vested in full on the date of such termination.

Effect of Qualifying Termination or Termination due to Death or Disability on Vesting of the TSR PSUs

If the TSR Target Price is achieved prior to the end of the TSR Performance Period and Mr. Reynal is terminated due to his death or permanent disability prior to the expiration of such performance period, then all of the TSR PSUs will vest upon such termination. If the TSR Target Price is achieved prior to the end of the TSR Performance Period and Mr. Reynal experiences a Qualifying Termination prior to the end of the TSR

54

Performance Period, then he will vest pro-rata in a number of TSR PSUs based on the number of days he was employed with the Company during the TSR Performance Period. The TSR Target Price has not been achieved as of the date hereof so all the TSR PSUs would have been forfeited by Mr. Reynal if his employment had terminated due to one of the above-described events on December 30, 2022.

Effect of a Change in Control on Vesting of the TSR PSUs

If a change in control occurs following the date on which the TSR Target Price is achieved, then all of the TSR PSUs will become fully vested immediately prior to such change in control subject to Mr. Reynal’s continued employment through such change in control.

Subject to Mr. Reynal’s continued employment through such change in control, if a change in control occurs during the TSR Performance Period and prior to the date on which the TSR Target Price is achieved, and the award is not assumed by the successor to the Company, then the TSR Performance Period will end on the date of the change in control and (i) if the sum of (A) the price per share of the Company’s common stock payable in connection with such change in control, plus (B) the cumulative value of any dividends paid during the TSR Performance Period through and including the date of the change in control equals or exceeds the TSR Target Price, the TSR PSUs will vest immediately prior to the closing of such change in control, and (ii) if such sum is less than the TSR Target Price, all of the TSR PSUs will automatically be forfeited immediately prior to the closing of such change in control. If a change in control had occurred on December 30, 2022 and the TSR PSUs were not assumed by the successor to the Company, no vesting of the TSR PSUs would have occurred based on the application of the above-described formula.

If a change in control occurs prior to the date on which the TSR Target Price is achieved and the TSR PSUs are assumed by the successor to the Company and Mr. Reynal is terminated due to death, permanent disability or a Qualifying Termination following such change in control but prior to the end of the TSR Performance Period, the TSR PSUs will become fully vested on the date of such termination.

Effect of Qualifying Termination on Vesting of the Performance-Conditioned Stock Option Grants

If Mr. Reynal experiences a Qualifying Termination or he dies or becomes permanently disabled, the number of shares subject to the stock options that will become vested on the date of such termination will be determined as if the stock options had instead vested 20% per year over five years and, solely in the event of a termination due to his death or permanent disability, Mr. Reynal will become immediately vested in an additional 20% of the stock options.

Effect of a Change in Control on Vesting of the Performance-Conditioned Stock Option Grants

If a change in control occurs and the stock options are not assumed, then the stock options will become vested in full immediately prior to the change in control.

If the stock options are assumed by the successor to the Company, and Mr. Reynal is subsequently terminated due to death, disability or a Qualifying Termination, the stock options will become fully vested on the date of such termination.

Description of Director Compensation

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 for each of our non-employee directors:

• Annual cash retainer of $75,000, payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for any partial year of service;

• Annual equity award having a fair market value of $175,000, payable in RSUs, which vests on the anniversary of the grant date;

• Additional annual equity award having a fair market value of $25,000, payable in RSUs, which vests on the anniversary of the grant date, for serving as the chairperson of our Audit Committee and an additional annual equity award having a fair market value of $10,000, payable in RSUs, which vests on the anniversary of the grant date, for serving as a member of such committee, prorated, in each case, for any partial year of service;

• Additional annual equity award having a fair market value of $15,000, payable in RSUs, which vests on the anniversary of the grant date, for serving as the chairperson of our Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or our Sustainability Committee, prorated, in each case, for any partial year of service; and

• Additional annual equity award having a fair market value of $35,000, payable in RSUs, which vests on the anniversary of the grant date, to compensate our Lead Director, if applicable, for the additional time and responsibilities associated with this role.

Our directors are not paid any fees for attending meetings, however, our directors are reimbursed for reasonable travel and related expenses associated with attendance at Board or committee meetings.

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 became exercisable in equal parts on December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018.

56

Vested 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 Mr. 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 Mr. Donnelly’s service to the Company without Cause (as defined in the option award agreement) (except due to death or Disability); (4) the date Mr. 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 addition, at the discretion of the Company, options may be cancelled at the effective date of a merger, consolidation, or other transaction or capital change of the Company, in accordance with the terms of the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, in exchange for a payment (payable in cash or other consideration depending on the terms of the transaction) per share equal to the excess of (x) the per share consideration paid to stockholders of the Company in the transaction over (y) the exercise price of the option.

In connection with his option awards, Mr. Donnelly became party to a Director Stockholder’s Agreement. Under the Director Stockholder’s Agreement, Mr. Donnelly is subject to covenants not to (1) disclose confidential information, (2) solicit customers and certain employees, consultants and independent contractors of the Company, (3) compete with the Company and (4) disparage the Company.

Stock Ownership and Retention Policy

Our directors are also subject to the stock ownership guidelines and retention policy described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis―Other Compensation Practices and Policies that Align Our NEOs to Our Stockholders―Stock Ownership and Retention Policy.”

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2022, each of Messrs. Donnelly, Jones, Stevenson and White and Ms. Arnold served on our Compensation Committee for at least a portion of the year. None of the current (including Ms. Hartsock), or in the case of Mr. Donnelly, former, members of our Compensation Committee has at any time been one of our executive officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

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 2022, our last completed fiscal year:

• The median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, excluding our CEO, was $65,098.

• The annual total compensation of our CEO was $54,505,957.

Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees except our CEO was 837:1.

If the significant one-time impact of the CEO’s Performance-Based Award were removed from the calculations:

• The annual total compensation of the CEO would have been $10,886,957.

• 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 would have been 167:1.

The median employee identified for calculating the ratio of the CEO's annualized total compensation to that of all employees remains unchanged from the one disclosed in last year’s proxy statement. We are confident that no significant changes have been made to our employee population or compensation arrangements that would have a significant impact on our pay ratio disclosure.

We determined that, as of December 31, 2021, our employee population consisted of 15,454 individuals, including full time, part time, and temporary employees.

57

To identify our “median employee” from this employee population, we obtained annual base salary and target annual bonus information as of December 31, 2021 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 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 2022 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.

Pay vs. Performance (“PvP”) Disclosure

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K (“Item 402(v)”), the Company is providing the following information regarding the relationship between the executive compensation actually paid by the Company and the financial performance of the Company over the applicable time period of the disclosure, calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v). Refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement for a discussion on how the Compensation Committee determines named executive officer pay.

(b)
The following summarizes the valuation assumptions used for stock option awards included as part of Compensation Actually Paid:

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

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

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

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

−
Represents annual dividend yield on each vest/FYE date.

(c)
CEO Compensation Actually Paid in 2022 would have been $2,927,250 if Mr. Reynal’s special one-time Performance-Based Award was excluded from the calculation. We believe this is an appropriate alternative way to view Compensation Actually Paid in 2022 given the long-term nature of the award with vesting events occurring five to ten years after the grant date. In our view, including all of this long-term compensation as Compensation Actually Paid in a single year does not reflect the long-term nature of the award and overstates the actual compensation paid to Mr. Reynal in 2022.

(d)
For the non-CEO NEOs, the amounts in the table reflect the average Summary Compensation Table total compensation and average Compensation Actually Paid for the following executives by year:

2022: Vikram Kini, Andrew Schiesl, Enrique Minarro-Viseras, Michael Weatherred

2021: Vikram Kini, Andrew Schiesl, Enrique Minarro-Viseras, Michael Weatherred

2020: Vikram Kini, Andrew Schiesl, Enrique Minarro-Viseras, Michael Weatherred, Emily Weaver

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

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

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

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

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

Since January 1, 2022, there were no “related person transactions” requiring disclosure under SEC rules and regulations.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written statement of policy regarding transactions with related persons, which we refer to as our “related person transaction policy.” Our related person transaction policy requires that (a) any “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction that is anticipated would be reportable by us under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest) be approved or ratified by an approving body comprised of the disinterested members of our Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors (provided that a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or such committee, respectively, are disinterested) and (b) any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or recommended by the Compensation Committee to the Board of Directors for its approval. In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction:

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

• management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction complies with the terms of our agreements governing our material outstanding indebtedness that limit or restrict our ability to enter into a related person transaction;

• management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction will be required to be disclosed in our applicable filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and related rules, and, to the extent required to be disclosed, management must ensure that the related person transaction is disclosed in accordance with such Acts and related rules; and

• management must advise the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to whether the related person transaction constitutes a “personal loan” for purposes of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

In addition, the related person transaction policy provides that the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, in connection with any approval or ratification of a related person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee, should consider whether such transaction would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent” or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING

If any stockholder wishes to propose a matter for consideration at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the proposal should be mailed by certified mail return receipt requested, to our Corporate Secretary, Ingersoll Rand Inc., 525 Harbour Place Drive, Suite 600, Davidson, North Carolina 28036. To be eligible under the SEC’s stockholder proposal rule (Rule 14a-8(e) of the Exchange Act) for inclusion in our 2023 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement and form of proxy, a proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary on or before December 30, 2023. Failure to deliver a proposal in accordance with this procedure may result in it not being deemed timely received.

In addition, our Bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors and present other business for consideration at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. To make a director nomination or present other business for consideration at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2024, you must submit a timely notice in accordance with the procedures described in our Bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of our Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, to be presented at our Annual Meeting to be held in 2024, such a proposal must be received on or after February 16, 2024, but not later than March 17, 2024. In the event that the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2024 is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 70 days, from the anniversary date of this year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, such notice by the stockholder must be so received no earlier than 120 days prior to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2024 and not later than the later of the 90th day prior to such Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2024 or ten (10) calendar days following the day on which public announcement of the date of such Annual Meeting is first made. Any such proposal will be considered timely only if it is otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. The proxy solicited by the Board for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will confer discretionary authority to vote as the proxy holders deem advisable on such stockholder proposals which are considered untimely.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 16, 2024.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

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

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board does not know of any other matters to be brought before the meeting. If other matters are presented, the proxy holders have discretionary authority to vote all proxies in accordance with their best judgment.

ANNEX A

Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to consolidated GAAP financial measures, Ingersoll Rand reviews various non-GAAP financial measures, including “Organic Revenue Growth,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Diluted EPS,” “Free Cash Flow,” “Adjusted Free Cash Flow,” “Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA,” “Supplemental Adjusted Revenue” and “Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS.”

Ingersoll Rand believes Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as they provide supplemental information about the Company’s financial performance on a combined basis as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019. Ingersoll Rand believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS are helpful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as they exclude certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of Ingersoll Rand’s business. Ingersoll Rand believes Organic Revenue Growth is a helpful supplemental measure to assist management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions on revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income including interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions. Organic Revenue Growth is defined as As Reported Revenue growth less the impacts of Foreign Currency and Acquisitions. Ingersoll Rand believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Average Shares Outstanding.

Ingersoll Rand uses Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to review the liquidity of its operations. Ingersoll Rand measures Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and other adjustments. Ingersoll Rand believes Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are useful supplemental financial measures for management and investors in assessing the Company’s ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service its debt. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not measures of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities.

Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019. Ingersoll Rand believes that the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Supplemental Adjusted Revenue represents revenue for the Company as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019. Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Average Shares Outstanding as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019.

Management and Ingersoll Rand’s board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in evaluating the Company’s operating and financial performance and in establishing discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, Ingersoll Rand believes that Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity.

Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered as alternatives to net income, diluted earnings per share or any

A-1

other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Adjusted Diluted EPS 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.

Reconciliations of Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted Revenue and Supplemental Diluted EPS to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial metrics for historical periods are presented in the tables below.
