On February 15, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Mohawk Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Bernard P. Thiers to the Board to serve as a director in Class I for the Company. Mr. Thiers will serve with the other Class I directors for a term scheduled to expire at the Company’s Annual Meeting in 2026. He will not initially serve on any committees of the Board.
As previously announced, effective February 1, 2024, Mr. Thiers retired from his role as President of the Company’s Flooring Rest of World business segment, a role he had held since January 2009 following the Company’s acquisition of Unilin Flooring (“Unilin”). Mr. Thiers joined Unilin in 1984 as a plant manager and served in roles of increasing management significance since that time. From 1996 to 2006, he served as Managing Director of Unilin and, from 2006 until his 2009 promotion, he served as President — Unilin. Mr. Thiers has served in a senior advisory role following his February 1, 2024 retirement to further ensure a successful transition of the business and its strategies. In connection with Mr. Thiers’ senior advisory role, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has approved an annualized base salary of approximately $152,000, effective March 1, 2024. In addition, Mr. Thiers will remain eligible for the annual incentive awards and long-term incentive opportunities under the Company’s 2017 Incentive Plan. Mr. Thiers will not participate in the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.
As a director, Mr. Thiers’ unique knowledge of the Company and the Flooring Rest of World segment, vast experience in the flooring industry, and strong familiarity with the European flooring, panels and insulation markets will enhance the Board’s existing skill sets and strengths. Mr. Thiers’ proven leadership abilities during his history with the Company and deep insight into the flooring manufacturing business both in Europe and globally will further contribute to the Board’s effective oversight of the Company and mission to continue to create long-term sustainable growth through successful execution of the Company’s strategic initiatives. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Thiers and any other persons pursuant to which he was elected as a member of the Board. Mr. Thiers has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
