Amended and Restated 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended (the &quot;2005 NQ Plan&quot;). The 2005 NQ Plan provides that effective October 1, 2014 and thereafter, any amount credited in a participant's account to the phantom stock fund (i.e. the theoretical Worthington Industries, Inc. common share deemed investment option) may not be transferred to an alternative deemed investment option under the 2005 NQ Plan until distribution from the 2005 NQ Plan.  Distributions are made only in common shares of Worthington Industries, Inc. and generally commence upon leaving Worthington Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The amount reported includes the additional unfunded theoretical common shares (i.e., phantom stock) credited pursuant to the theoretical Worthington Industries, Inc. common share deemed investment option pursuant to the dividend reinvestment feature of the 2005 NQ Plan on November 30, 2023.</footnote>

Each adjusted option otherwise has substantially the same terms and conditions.</footnote>
