​ | LETTER FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR AND LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR | ​

Fellow Shareholders:
You are cordially invited to join us for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time via live webcast. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online where you can vote your shares electronically, and submit questions by visiting
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BCC2025. The Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the Proxy Statement that follow describe the business to be conducted at the meeting.
As we look forward to our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, it is worth reflecting on the year just completed.

​ |  | ​ | ​ |  | ​
​ | TOM CARLILE BOARD CHAIR | ​ | ​ | DAVID HANNAH LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR | ​

​
Leadership Changes and Ongoing Board
and Committee Refreshment
​
In 2024, we executed on our succession plan and experienced several leadership changes, including the promotion of one officer as the new executive officer of our Wood Products segment, and the election of two new officers, one who leads our newly created investor relations department and one who leads our human resources department.
In early 2025, we elected a chief operating officer to oversee our Wood Products and Building Materials
Distribution (BMD) segments. Additionally, in 2024, we refreshed the chairs of the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, as well as our lead independent director. Upon their reelection to the Board, the Directors elected to those roles in 2024 will remain in place to gain further leadership experience as we look to further refresh our Board in 2026 in accordance with our Director retirement policy.
​
Board Oversight of Corporate Strategy
​
The Board’s role is critical in overseeing our corporate strategy and operations, and we continue to work closely with the management team on matters regarding the business and its performance. Throughout the year, the Board meeting agendas regularly included significant business and organizational initiatives, capital allocation strategies, and business development opportunities to increase both our earnings and earnings stability by growing our market position in EWP and expanding our distribution capabilities. These
discussions allowed the Board to review how the management team leveraged our integrated business model and superior access to the market for our Wood Products segment through our BMD segment, drove operational excellence by improving veneer self-sufficiency and using data-driven process improvement programs and highly efficient logistics systems, accelerated the pace of innovation and digital technology, and continued to foster a respectful workplace culture.
​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
LETTER FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR AND LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR
Dividends Paid and Value of Shares Repurchased in 2024
​
In 2024, we invested approximately $240 million in capital spending projects and acquisitions. In our Wood Products segment, we completed the conversion of a plywood layup line to a parallel laminated veneer line at our Chapman, Alabama veneer and plywood mill, began multi-year projects to significantly modernize our Oakdale, Louisiana mill and to add I-joist production capabilities at our Thorsby, Alabama (EWP) mill. In our BMD segment, we acquired door and millwork assets in Boise, Idaho and Lakeland, Florida, purchased facilities we previously leased in Westfield, Massachusetts and Chicago, Illinois, and purchased additional property for our Greensboro, North Carolina facility, all as part of our long-term strategy.
In 2025, we remain committed to executing our reinvestment and growth strategies by continued capital expenditures in our mills, including Oakdale, Louisiana and Thorsby, Alabama, and in our distribution capabilities, including in our previously announced greenfield distribution centers in Texas and South Carolina.
In addition, we returned $423.7 million of cash to our shareholders by paying a special dividend of $5.00 per share, increasing our quarterly dividend to $0.21 per share in September, and repurchasing approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock. We believe that the continued execution of our long-term growth plan and thoughtful stewardship of your capital will help ensure that you receive the benefits of our strategy and investments in the years to come.
Whether or not you plan to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, your vote is important, and we encourage you to vote your shares promptly. You may vote your shares online or using a toll-free telephone number. If you received a paper copy of the proxy card by mail, you may sign, date, and mail the proxy card in the envelope provided.

​ | ​ | Note about Forward-Looking Statements | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | This proxy statement includes statements about our expectations of future operational and financial performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).

Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, but not limited to, prices for building products, changes in the competitive position of our products, commodity input costs, effect of general economic conditions, mortgage rates and availability, housing demand, housing vacancy rates, governmental regulations or policies, unforeseen production disruptions, and natural disasters. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are discussed in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. | ​ | ​

Ready to Respond to Market Changes and Well-Positioned for Continued Growth
​
In 2025, new single-family residential construction starts are expected to be off slightly from 2024, while multi-family starts are anticipated to be down after sharp declines in 2024 and repair-and-remodel is anticipated to reflect modest growth. As market conditions dictate, we will adjust our business where needed and continue to seek ways to control expenses and variable costs without sacrificing the high service levels expected by our supplier and customer partners. In addition, given our favorable long-term outlook for the demand fundamentals that drive our business, we will continue to make investments to grow our Company and enhance the workplace experience to retain and attract talented employees. In 2025, we plan to continue executing our strategy and creating attractive returns on capital by:
●
Expanding and upgrading our EWP manufacturing capabilities
​
●
Pursuing organic growth opportunities and in- fill opportunities in strategic locations across the country for our distribution business
​
●
Continuing our growth in door and millwork assembly capabilities
​
●
Continuing to improve our competitiveness through operational excellence
​
●
Using our Boise Improvement Cycle (BIC) process and business optimization group to continue to (i) increase productivity, (ii) increase equipment efficiency, and (iii) lower our costs of manufacturing

Executive Compensation Highlights
We provide highlights of our executive compensation program below. It is important to review the Compensation Discussion & Analysis (CD&A) and compensation tables in this proxy statement for a complete understanding of our compensation program and philosophy (page 36).
We generally target compensation at the 50th percentile of comparable market compensation data, with actual compensation amounts taking into account each person’s role, performance, contributions to the Company’s success, level of experience, and other distinguishing characteristics.
​
We provide at-risk performance-based pay opportunities in the form of short-term and long-term incentives.
​
Our chief executive officer’s (CEO) total compensation is 52% at-risk, while our other named executive officers’ (NEO) total compensation is an average 47% at-risk.
​
Short-term and long-term incentives comprise a significant portion of each NEO’s total compensation opportunity and are designed to motivate and reward our NEOs for growing the Company and maximizing long-term shareholder value.
​
Long-term performance is the most important measure of our success because we manage our operations and business affairs for the long-term benefit of our shareholders.
​
For 2024, our NEOs received long-term equity incentive compensation opportunities in a combination of Performance Stock Units (PSUs) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
​
We maintain robust clawback policies that cover time-based and performance based equity and cash awards:
●
Under the omnibus stock plan (the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as defined below) and as proposed to be amended and restated,
the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as defined below)), the Company has the ability to clawback all equity awards, both time-based and performance-based, upon various events including upon misconduct related to a restatement
●
Additionally, under our Misconduct Clawback Policy, both time-based and performance-based incentive compensation may be subject to recoupment (i) if, as a result of a financial restatement, the award would have been lower had the financial results been properly calculated when originally reported, (ii) if an award was predicated on achieving financial results that were subsequently determined to be due to a fraudulent act by the officer or (iii) if an officer engaged in misconduct, including misconduct that results in reputational or financial harm to the Company, even if such misconduct does not result in a financial restatement.
​
●
Finally, under our Executive Compensation Clawback Policy adopted in 2023 pursuant to Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act, we are required to recoup performance-based incentive compensation received on or after October 2, 2023 that was calculated based on financial results that were subsequently restated and the award received would have been lower if based on the restated results.
​
Our annual incentive compensation opportunities are tied to the achievement of corporate goals and, in some cases, business segment financial goals.
​
Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all of our Directors, officers, employees, and consultants from participating in any hedging, pledging, or monetizing transaction to lock in the value of any of our securities they hold, including the purchase of any financial instrument designed to offset the risk of future declines in the market value of any of our securities.
​
​
Say on Pay
​
Over the past five years, our shareholders have shown strong support for our executive compensation program with annual vote results of over an average of 97% from 2020 to 2024. Our compensation committee continues to examine our executive compensation program to ensure alignment between our executives and the long-term interests of our shareholders.
We ask that our shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as further described in Proposal No. 2 (page 35).

2024 Key Compensation Actions and Decisions
​
2024 RSUs and PSUs under our long-term equity-based award agreements (LTIP) under our 2016 Boise Cascade Omnibus Incentive Plan (2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan) were granted in March 2024. The PSUs granted are subject to a three-year performance period. The number of shares actually awarded will range from 0% to 200% of the target amount. Achievement will be measured against the target payout based on return on invested capital (ROIC)(1) measures(2) for each
of the years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The average achievement for the three years included in the performance period shall determine the performance against target ROIC, which will be determined in February 2027, and the earned shares will be distributed in March 2027, three years from the grant date. The company believes the performance period for these PSUs aligns management with long-term shareholder value.
​
​
(1)
ROIC is defined as Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT) divided by average invested capital (based on a rolling thirteen-month average). We define NOPAT as net income plus after-tax finance expense. Invested capital is defined as total assets plus capitalized lease expense, less cash, cash equivalents, and current liabilities, excluding short-term debt.

​ | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS | ​

​ |  | ​ | ​ |  | ​ | ​ | Our Board recommends shareholders vote FOR all of our Directors. | ​

All Directors are nominated for election at our 2025 Annual Meeting for a one-year term.
Shares will be voted according to shareholder instructions. If no voting instructions are provided, a broker may not vote on the matter. For 2025, our Directors are running unopposed. Therefore, to be elected to our Board in 2025, each Director must receive an affirmative vote of the majority of the votes of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote.
The Directors have confirmed their availability for election. If any Director becomes unavailable to
serve as a Director for any reason prior to the Annual Meeting, our Board may substitute another person as a Director. In that case, if a shareholder has voted for the original Director, those shares will be voted FOR the substitute Director.
Additional information follows for the Directors, particularly concerning their business experience and qualifications, as well as attributes and skills that led our Board to conclude that they should serve as a Director.
​
Director Skills Matrix
​
Provided below in a Board Skills Matrix is a summary of each Director’s skills and experience as well as gender and racial/ethnic information. The skills categories included in the matrix are tied to the Company’s strategic goals, and the intent of the matrix is that the Directors collectively possess qualities that facilitate effective oversight of the Company’s strategic plans. While the matrix is useful for determining the collective skills of the Board as a whole, it is not a comparative measure of the value of Directors; a Director with more focused experience could nonetheless contribute broadly and effectively.
The chart below identifies the principal skills that the corporate governance and nominating committee considered for each Director when evaluating the Director’s experience and qualifications to serve as a Director. Each mark indicates a strength or personal characteristic that was self-selected by each Director. Additional information about the Director’s background and business experience is provided below in the biographical information.

Director Independence
​
Our Directors believe Board independence is important and is key for the Board to function properly, allowing it to provide appropriate oversight and maintain managerial accountability.
We list our common stock on the NYSE. The NYSE rules require that a majority of our Directors be independent from management and that all members of our Board committees be independent. For a Director to be independent under the NYSE’s rules, our Board must determine affirmatively that he or she has no material relationship with the Company. Additionally, he or she cannot violate any of the bright line independence tests set forth in the NYSE listing rules that would prevent our Board from determining that he or she is independent. These rules contain heightened independence tests for members of our audit and compensation committees. Our Board will broadly
consider all relevant facts and circumstances to determine the independence of any Director in accordance with the NYSE listing rules.
Our Board has determined that all Directors except Mr. Jorgensen are independent directors as defined under the NYSE’s listing rules. These Directors constitute a majority of our Directors and represent all of our committee members.
Additionally, our Board has determined that (i) each member of the audit committee meets the heightened independence standards for audit committee service under the NYSE listing rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act; and (ii) each member of the compensation committee meets the heightened independence standards for compensation committee service under the NYSE listing rules and Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act. Further, because Mr. Carlile is a past CEO of the Company, our Board appointed Mr. Hannah as its lead independent director upon his reelection to the Board.
Our Board and its committees can retain, at their sole discretion and at our expense, independent financial, legal, compensation, or other advisors to represent the independent interests of our Board or its committees.
​
Related-Person Transactions
​
Family Relationships
No family relationships exist between any of our Directors and executive officers.
Affiliated-Company Transactions
There were no affiliated-company or related person transactions in 2024.
Policies and Procedures for Related- Person Transactions
Our written policy regarding transactions with related persons requires that a “related person” ​(as defined in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K) must promptly disclose to our general counsel any “related-person transaction” (defined as any transaction that is reportable by us
under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which we are or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest) and all material facts with respect thereto. The general counsel will promptly communicate such information to our audit committee or another independent body of our Board. No related-person transaction will be entered into without the approval or ratification of our audit committee or another independent body of our Board. It is our policy that Directors recuse themselves from any discussion or decision affecting their personal, business, or professional interests. Our policy does not specify the standards to be applied by our audit committee or another independent body of our Board in determining whether to approve or ratify a related- person transaction.

Role of Compensation Consultant
​
The compensation committee continued to retain Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (FW Cook) as its independent compensation consultant to assist the committee in discharging its responsibilities. In connection with retaining FW Cook, the compensation committee considered that FW Cook
does not provide any other services to the Company or management and determined that there was no conflict of interest according to the factors the compensation committee determined to be relevant, including the independence factors enumerated by the NYSE.
​
Role of Board in Our Risk Management Processes
​
Our Board oversees the risk management activities designed and implemented by our management. The Board executes its oversight responsibility for risk management both directly and through its committees. Through our annual enterprise risk management review, the Board also considers specific risk topics, including risks associated with our strategic plan, business operations, cybersecurity, AI, sustainability and environmental matters, HCM strategies (including employee engagement, growth, fostering a sense of community, and expanding our talent pipeline), recoupment of officer compensation based on our clawback policies, and capital structure. In addition, the Board receives regular detailed reports from our senior management and other personnel, including assessments and potential mitigation of the risks and exposures involved with their respective areas of responsibility.
Our Board delegates to the audit committee oversight of our risk management process. Our other committees also consider and address risks related to their respective committee responsibilities. All committees report to the Board as appropriate, including when a matter rises to a material or enterprise-level risk.
Our internal audit department annually develops a risk-based audit plan that is reviewed with the audit committee, along with the results of internal audit reviews and activities. The internal audit department also maintains a high-level assessment of risks and controls for key operations, functions, processes, applications, and systems within the Company. The audit committee meets quarterly with our chief financial officer, vice president of finance and investor relations, and our directors of internal audit and financial reporting.
The audit committee also meets quarterly with our director of information technology (IT) and our senior director of privacy to discuss security and
privacy as it relates to our data systems and data privacy. We have in place a number of independent assurance activities responsible for assessing whether our risk response activities are in place and working effectively, including, but not limited to, data security, data privacy, environmental, and safety audits.
Information Security
The Board and the audit committee engage with management on a quarterly basis regarding our IT environment, including data security and data privacy. The Company’s IT security and data privacy processes are based upon the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) framework. Our IT, data privacy, and internal audit teams have individuals who have achieved Certified Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT), Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE), Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM), and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) professional certifications. Continual focus on data breach response readiness by implementing activities such as tabletop exercises is a key initiative for the IT security and data privacy teams. Annually, KPMG and our internal audit team each audit our IT general controls to assess our internal control environment and the reliability of information flowing into our financial reporting. In addition, we engage a qualified third party to perform an annual penetration test as part of our ongoing assessment of our IT perimeter security and intrusion detection capabilities. The penetration test organization employs experts with the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), and GIAC certified penetration tester (GPEN) professional designations. For more information concerning our information security, please refer to Item 1C. Cybersecurity of the Company’s Form 10-K filed on February 20, 2024.

Risk Analysis of Employee Compensation Policies and Practices
​
The compensation committee, with recommendations from management, reviewed our compensation philosophy for our employees and determined that it does not induce our employees to take unacceptable levels of business risk for the purpose of increasing their incentive plan awards at the expense of shareholder interests. Some of the considerations in making this determination were:
None of our businesses presents a high-risk profile because our businesses compete in markets with a high degree of transparency on pricing and costs, as well as clearly defined revenue recognition accounting principles
​
Our incentive pay structure rewards performance in both the short-term and long-term (i.e., short-term incentives are not paid at the expense of long-term shareholder value)
​
Our incentive pay program has minimum and maximum targets designed to take into account short-term and long-term affordability measures, with payments capped at the maximum target
​
The compensation committee reserves the right to reduce or eliminate any awards, at its discretion, with respect to our incentive pay programs
​
Under the omnibus stock plan (the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and as proposed to be amended and restated, the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan), the Company has the ability to clawback all equity awards, both time-based and performance-based, upon various events including upon misconduct related to a restatement. Additionally, for LTIP and cash-based short-term incentive plan (STIP) awards received by an officer, our Misconduct Clawback Policy allows us to recoup any or all of the LTIP or STIP awards (both time-based and performance-based) received by an officer (i) if, as a result of a financial restatement, the award would have been lower had the financial results been properly calculated when originally
​
reported, (ii) if an award was predicated on achieving financial results that were subsequently determined to be due to a fraudulent act by the officer or (iii) if an officer engaged in misconduct, including misconduct that results in reputational or financial harm to the Company, even if such misconduct does not result in a financial restatement
Our Executive Compensation Clawback Policy for our PSU and our STIP awards (only performance-based) pursuant to Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act that requires recoupment of any or all awards received by an NEO where the amount of the award was calculated based upon the financial results that were subsequently affected by a restatement of the Company’s financial statements and the award received would have been lower had the financial results been properly calculated when reported
​
Our executive compensation program does not encourage our management to take unreasonable risks relating to the business
​
Pursuant to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, we prohibit all of our Directors, officers, employees, and consultants from participating in any hedging, pledging, or monetizing transactions to lock in the value of any of our securities that they hold, including the purchase of any financial instrument designed to offset the risk of future declines in the market value of any of our securities
​
The Company has an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of Company securities by Directors, officers, employees, and the Company itself that is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards. A copy of the policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
​
​
Director Selection Process
​
Our corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for, among other matters:
●
Identifying individuals qualified to become Directors, consistent with criteria approved by our Board
​
●
Recommending to our Board a slate of Directors for election at the annual meeting of shareholders
​
●
Recommending to our Board persons to fill Board and committee vacancies

Through this process, members of the corporate governance and nominating committee consult with our Board chair and lead independent director and accept nominee recommendations from other Directors and/or shareholders in accordance with the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws. The invitation to join our Board is extended by our Board through our Board chair and lead independent director.
Suitability of Candidates
In evaluating the suitability of candidates, in addition to our ongoing and emerging business needs, our Board and corporate governance and nominating committee consider many factors, including a candidate’s:
●
Experience as a senior officer in a public company, substantial private company experience, or other comparable experience
​
●
Experience as a director of a public company
​
●
Breadth of knowledge about issues affecting the Company and/or its industry
​
●
Expertise in finance, logistics, manufacturing, distribution, law, human resources, cybersecurity, technology and innovation, marketing or other areas that our Board determines are important areas of needed expertise
​
●
Personal attributes that include integrity and sound ethical character, absence of legal or regulatory impediments, absence of conflicts of interest, demonstrated track record of achievement, ability to act in an oversight capacity, appreciation for the issues confronting a public company, adequate time to devote to our Board and its committees, and willingness to assume Board fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of all shareholders
​
The corporate governance and nominating committee is committed to a highly functioning Board where the composition is reflective of the long-term strategy of the business, and makes
decisions primarily on the basis of skills, qualifications, and experience. Input from the Board, management, feedback from shareholders, and Board evaluation processes also help determine desired backgrounds and skills.
Other Considerations in Nomination Process
As of the 2025 Annual Meeting, upon the reelection of all Director nominees to the Board, our Board will consist of eight men and three women with a rich mixture of educational, professional, and experiential differences representing a wide range of perspectives to further enhance the effectiveness of its oversight role. As opportunities to appoint and nominate new Directors become available as the Board builds the slate of Director nominees, in addition to the factors set forth above, our Board recognizes and values candidates and Directors who bring different perspectives. Openness to all perspectives enriches the current and long-term strategic needs of the Company.
Information regarding the skills of our Directors can be found in the Director Skills Matrix on page 11.
Shareholder Nominations for Directors
In accordance with our bylaws, the corporate governance and nominating committee will consider shareholder nominations for Directors (please refer to the Shareholder Proposals for Inclusion in Next Year’s Proxy Statement section in this proxy statement for related instructions, page 78). We did not receive any shareholder nominations or recommendations for a Director in connection with the 2025 Annual Meeting. Other than the procedures set forth in our bylaws, the corporate governance and nominating committee has not adopted formal policies regarding shareholder nominations for Directors because the committee does not believe such policy is necessary for the consideration of shareholder nominations.

In December of each year, under the direction of the corporate governance and nominating committee, our Directors complete written surveys to evaluate and assess the overall effectiveness of our Board, its committees, and each Director. The purpose of the Board, committee(s), and individual Director surveys is to continually improve Board performance. Our lead independent director and our Board chair review the Directors’ responses and provide the individual Directors, the corporate governance and nominating committee, and the Board with an assessment of the performance of the
Board and its committees. The Directors then discuss the results and proposed actions for improvement or change in an executive session chaired by our lead independent director. The lead independent director and Board chair also have one- on-one discussions as necessary with each Director about the feedback received. Through this process, the Board and management work together to refine the meeting materials and topics covered with the Board to educate new members and highlight certain strategic projects.
​
Director Time Commitment Policy
​
The Board believes that wider perspectives and best practices learned by Directors serving in other public directorships must be balanced against the time commitment that service on boards entails. Therefore, our Guidelines include a policy whereby our non-employee Directors are limited to no more than three public boards, (in addition to the Board),
and our CEO to one additional public board. You may view a copy of our Guidelines by visiting our website at www.bc.com/investors, selecting the Corporate Governance tab, and then clicking on the Corporate Governance Guidelines link under Governance Documents to see our Guidelines.

Shareholder Engagement
​
We believe engaging in active dialogue with our shareholders is important to our commitment to deliver sustainable long-term value to our shareholders on an annual basis, we actively seek engagement with our top 10 shareholders. In 2024, we continued our engagements with shareholders representing approximately 19.57% of our outstanding shares, which provided them opportunities to discuss various issues, including macro effects on our business, fundamental demand and supply chain, corporate governance, executive compensation, capital allocation strategy, risk oversight, sustainability, HCM strategies (including employee engagement, growth, fostering a sense of community, and expanding our talent
pipeline), responsible forestry and environmental sustainability practices, and forest certification. Shareholder feedback is regularly reviewed and considered by the Board and is reflected in adjustments and enhancements to our policies and practices. This includes providing additional sustainability disclosures on our website that are aligned with the guidelines of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). In 2024, shareholder feedback was also reflected in our increasing the performance period for executive long-term, performance based, incentive compensation from one year to three years.

Sustainability, Environmental, and Human Capital Management
​

​ |  | ​ | ​ | Sustainability | ​

The corporate governance and nominating committee is primarily responsible for sustainability matters, and similar to risk oversight, the Board participates in the process and oversight of such strategy. At each meeting, management updates the corporate governance and nominating committee, and the Directors provide guidance on current sustainability topics, including climate and environmental sustainability, and other similar issues that impact the Company. On at least an annual basis, the corporate governance and nominating committee is provided with a more in-depth review of these sustainability topics by either management or a third-party consultant. At each Board meeting, management updates the Board, and the Directors provide guidance on HCM strategies (including employee engagement, growth, fostering a sense of community, and expanding our talent pipeline).
Our Board supports an approach to sustainability matters that is embedded in our Company purpose to bring people, products, and services together to build strong homes, businesses, and communities that stand the test of time. We are a business built on relationships. Our core values guide our actions, unite our employees, and define our brand. We care about relationships with our employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders, and the communities where we live and operate. We strive to foster a respectful workplace culture as a way of living our core values of respect and pursuit of excellence, and that creates connection where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We further believe it is our responsibility as an employer and community leader to have a positive influence in the communities where we live and operate.

​ |  | ​ | ​ | Environmental | ​

Boise Cascade considers environmental responsibility an integral component of our Wood Products and BMD segments. We transform renewable resources, trees, into products that people depend on every day. Our wood products store carbon for years, giving us the opportunity to respond to the effects of climate change through our environmental sustainability practices when procuring and processing wood.
Through sustainable forestry practices, we actively contribute to the responsible use and protection of natural capital, which benefits our employees, customers, shareholders, and the communities where we live and operate. We are committed to responsible forest management principles that help protect and conserve forest habitat and biodiversity. We have rigorous procurement programs to comply with state and provincial laws to protect conservation values and culturally important sites which include measures to protect water quality and conserve wildlife habitat. Further, we are committed to continually achieving compliance with certification standards, employing management practices within our operations to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and promoting sustainable practices. The strength of our sustainable forestry program is annually verified by internal and third-party auditors as part of our continuous improvement efforts.
We recognize the scientific evidence indicating a changing climate associated with increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, and use the TCFD framework for communicating our position and performance on climate-related matters. To further enhance our ability to track and report on climate-related issues, the Company continues implementation of a comprehensive program to collect material Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data. This is an important step in understanding the emissions impact of the Company’s operations and allows reporting climate metrics in the TCFD framework. In addition to using trees, a renewable resource that sequesters carbon, in our manufacturing processes, the Company is able to use the bark from trees and manufacturing residuals for a significant portion of energy needs in our manufacturing operations. This allows utilization of carbon-neutral energy sources and reduces reliance on energy sources derived from fossil fuels. Using biomass to produce energy also reduces landfill waste, which results in less GHG and methane emissions.

The Company engages in pilot programs to explore additional positive climate impacts that can be made through our operations. In 2024, the Company added its first zero-emissions electric Class 8 truck to its fleet and started producing biochar out of wood waste to use as a carbon-storing soil enhancer by the landscaping industry. Our value of pursuit of excellence guides our climate actions to implement new ideas to drive sustainable results.

​ |  | ​ | ​ | Human Capital Management | ​

The safety of our employees is a core value, and the Company maintains robust safety programs focused on identifying hazards and eliminating risks, as well as safety processes and procedures aimed at eliminating injuries in the workplace. The Company recognizes the demands of balancing work, family, and personal obligations and we believe we are better when we work together to serve our customers, find creative solutions, and enrich our culture.

Our Total Rewards program provides competitive pay, comprehensive health benefits, robust financial security resources, paid leave, well-being programs, community engagement opportunities, and career recognition and development. We continually benchmark our offerings and assess our vendor partner performance to ensure our Total Rewards remain competitive. Selecting and developing talent is a vital aspect of our HCM strategy because we believe our employees are at the heart of our purpose and fulfillment of our promise to our shareholders. We focus on developing talent from within our business segments and supplement that talent with finding the right external hires to support key strategic objectives. Individual development includes annual performance reviews with development plans, access to a variety of resources, including self-help resources, and continuing education opportunities. Our employees are able to participate in training through a combination of online platforms and in-person learning. We work towards business continuity and personal leadership growth by developing our employees as individuals through targeted leadership programs, coaching, and focused experiences. Employees are able to connect with our officers through our open-door policy and directly with our CEO in small group quarterly
listening sessions and have the ability to ask questions to the larger officer team during our quarterly results calls. Further, we encourage and support employees who contribute service hours to boards and nonprofit organizations in the communities where they live and work. These programs enable the Company’s employees to connect with the community, further improve the Company’s reputation locally, and instill a sense of pride in the workforce.

Boise Cascade is invested in broadening our talent pipeline and fostering a respectful workplace culture that attracts and retains a talented workforce, and are committed to fostering a workplace culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued-one where all employees can contribute their best work to our short- and long-term financial success.

Currently, the positions of Board chair and CEO are filled separately. Our Board believes that this structure is appropriate for the Company at this time. Our current Board chair’s experience as our former CEO provides our Board with valuable insight on operational and industry issues.
Our corporate governance and nominating committee and our Board have adopted the Guidelines to serve as a flexible framework within which the Board conducts business. The corporate governance and nominating committee and Board routinely review the Guidelines, with the most recent review occurring in February 2025. Because the Board chair is a former CEO of the Company, upon his reelection to the Board, Mr. Hannah will fill the lead independent director role. Our lead independent director presides over all meetings of the independent Directors and works collaboratively with our Board chair and CEO regarding Board governance, including the Board evaluation process and establishing meeting agendas for our Board. The lead independent director’s responsibilities include:
●
Generally chairing the corporate governance and nominating committee though currently for leadership development purposes, Ms. Gowland is the chair of the corporate governance and nominating committee
​
●
Leading the Board’s processes for selecting and evaluating new Directors and key management positions
​
●
Presiding over all meetings of the Board at which the Board chair is not present
​
●
Serving as a liaison between the Board chair and the independent Directors
​
●

​
●
Approving Board and committee meeting agendas and schedules
​
●

​
●

​
●

​
●
Calling and chairing meetings of the independent Directors and meetings to retain advisors for the independent Directors
​
​
Executive Sessions and Independent Director Sessions
​
Our Board and our committees routinely meet in executive sessions outside the presence of management. The Board chair presides over the executive sessions of our Board meetings, and each committee chair presides over the executive sessions of each respective committee. Our lead independent director presides over the sessions of
our independent Directors, who meet outside the presence of our non-independent Directors at least twice per year.
Independent Directors have direct access to members of management whenever they deem it necessary, and the Company’s executive officers

attend at least a portion of each regularly scheduled Board meeting. The independent Directors and all committees are also free to retain their own
independent advisors, at the Company’s expense, whenever they feel it would be desirable.
​
2024 Meeting Attendance
​
During 2024, our Board met 6 times in person or by video conference. In addition to meetings of the Board, our committees met a total of 14 times. During 2025, all Directors attended at least 75% of all meetings of the Board and each committee on which he or she served.
Under the Guidelines, our Directors are expected to attend our Annual Meeting on May 1, 2025. All of our Directors attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
​
Board Committees
​
Our Board has established the following three standing committees:
The composition, duties, and responsibilities of these committees are outlined in written charters adopted by our Board. Each committee charter is reviewed annually by its respective committee to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable laws and sound governance practices and reviewed periodically by outside legal counsel. Each committee enacts any recommended changes to its charter from such reviews and reports the changes to our Board.
You may view copies of our committee charters by visiting our website at www.bc.com/investors and selecting the Corporate Governance tab. You are then able to select any of the committee charters.

​
Directors Deferred Compensation Plan
​
We maintain a nonqualified deferred compensation plan offered to our non-employee Directors (Boise Cascade Directors Deferred Compensation Plan). The plan is an unfunded plan intended to help participants supplement their retirement income while providing them an opportunity to invest a portion of cash compensation. Under the plan, each Director who receives cash compensation for Board service may elect to defer all or a portion of cash compensation in a calendar year. Amounts
deferred are credited with imputed interest at a rate equal to 130% of Moody’s Composite Average of Yields on Corporate Bonds. Participants elect the form and timing of distributions of their deferred compensation balances. Participants may receive a cash payment in a lump sum or in annual installments following their service on our Board. Ms. Gowland elected to defer cash compensation in 2024 under this plan. We do not anticipate making any changes to this plan in 2025.
​
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
​
During 2024, the compensation committee consisted of Mses. Gowland, Humphreys and Taylor and Messrs. Dawson, Matula, and McGowan. None of our executive officers currently serve, or in the past
year served, as a member of the Board or compensation committee of any entity with one or more executive officers serving on our Board or compensation committee.

​ | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION | ​

​ |  | ​ | ​ |  | ​ | ​ | Our Board recommends shareholders vote, on an advisory basis, FOR the approval of the resolution set forth below approving the compensation of our named executive officers. | ​

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote regarding the compensation of our NEOs. Our compensation philosophy is designed to emphasize a focus on total compensation, with a large portion of our NEOs’ pay being performance-based and considered variable, “at risk,” and aligned with shareholder interests. We seek to pay for performance so that we can recruit and retain the talented employees necessary to drive superior financial and operational results. We view our compensation program as a strategic tool that supports the successful execution of our business strategy and reinforces a performance-based culture. Our Board has agreed to hold this advisory vote on an annual basis, with the next vote following this one expected to occur at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Shareholders are urged to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in this proxy statement, which discusses how our compensation policies and procedures implement our compensation philosophy. The compensation committee and our Board believe these policies and procedures are effective in implementing our
compensation philosophy and in achieving its goals. Our Board has determined the best way to allow shareholders to vote on our executive compensation is through the following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative discussion in this proxy statement, is hereby APPROVED.
Shares will be voted according to shareholder instructions. If no voting instructions are provided, a broker may not vote on the matter. This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting of the shareholders and entitled to vote.
Your vote is important to us. Although this advisory vote is nonbinding, the compensation committee and our Board will review the results of the vote. The compensation committee will consider our shareholders’ views and take them into account in making future determinations concerning our executive compensation.

We want to attract, retain, and incentivize the management talent we believe is essential to achieving the Company’s strategic objectives, which are to grow the Company prudently and to increase long-term shareholder value. | ​ | ​ | As a guiding philosophy, we generally target all forms of compensation at the 50th percentile of comparable market compensation data, with appropriate adjustments that take into account each officer’s position, responsibilities, performance, contributions to the Company’s success, level of experience, and other distinguishing characteristics. In some instances, and for the purpose of internal equity, we may establish similar compensation ranges for officer positions with similar scopes of responsibility and other similar characteristics even if such ranges differ from comparable positions at other companies. | ​ | ​ | We also provide at-risk, performance-based pay opportunities that comprise a significant portion of total compensation opportunity to motivate and reward our executive officers for achieving the Company’s strategic objectives. | ​

We hold annual advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation. Our shareholders have approved our executive compensation with over an average of 97% voting in favor from 2020 through 2024. We believe the strong support demonstrates that shareholders generally view our overall pay program favorably. For 2024, the compensation committee listened to shareholder feedback and increased our officer PSU grant agreements from a
1-year performance metric to a 3-year average performance metric. This change aligns officer incentives to long term Company performance. The compensation committee and the Board intend to continue to take these advisory votes into account regarding future compensation decisions. For 2025, shareholders will again vote, on an advisory basis, on whether to approve our executive compensation as set forth in this proxy statement.
​
Use of Market Data to Determine Amount and Allocation of Compensation
​
The compensation committee believes that an important criterion for determining the aggregate value of the Company’s compensation program and the allocation of the value among the various elements of its compensation plans is market data, where available, on the amounts, allocations, and
structures utilized by similarly situated peer companies for positions of comparable responsibility.
Management and the compensation committee have utilized compensation and benefits surveys to

ascertain market levels of aggregate compensation and the allocation of that compensation among specific compensation elements for its NEOs. Aggregate compensation and compensation for each of the major elements (base salary, target short-term incentive compensation, and target long-term incentive compensation) for the Company’s NEOs has generally been targeted at the 50th percentile of the surveyed peer group companies. However, the specific aggregate compensation (and the allocation among the elements of the total compensation) paid to any of our NEOs may be below or above the 50th percentile target levels, depending on subjective judgments made by the compensation committee based on factors such as the specific officer’s responsibilities that vary from the comparable position, historical performance in the job, tenure with the Company in the position, and other distinguishing characteristics.
Since 2011, the compensation committee has periodically retained the services of FW Cook to prepare a comprehensive analysis of the compensation packages for our NEOs and to compare the specific elements of compensation and the aggregate value with a group of peer companies recommended by FW Cook.
Our 2024 peer group remained the same as our 2023 peer group. FW Cook conducted a biannual full review of our peer group in 2023 and for 2024 conducted a confirmation review with no recommended changes to the peer group for 2024. The compensation committee agreed with the recommendation and adopted the following 2024 peer group for 2024 compensation discussions:
​

​ | ● American Woodmark Corporation | ​ | ​ | ● GMS Inc. | ​
​ | ● Armstrong World Industries | ​ | ​ | ● JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. | ​
​ | ● Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. | ​ | ​ | ● Louisiana Pacific Corporation | ​
​ | ● BlueLinx Corporation | ​ | ​ | ● Masonite International Corporation | ​
​ | ● Builders FirstSource, Inc. | ​ | ​ | ● Quanex Building Products Corporation | ​
​ | ● Eagle Materials Inc. | ​ | ​ | ● Simpson Manufacturing Company, Inc. | ​
​ | ● Gibraltar Industries Corporation | ​ | ​ | ● UFP Industries, Inc. | ​

During 2024, the compensation committee reviewed the officer base salaries, Director compensation, the STIP, the LTIP, FW Cook’s fees, and the proposed peer group for 2024
compensation discussions. The compensation committee also reviewed and reapproved the Company’s compensation philosophy as it appears in this proxy statement.

Summary of Pay Decisions Affecting our NEOs’ Compensation in 2024
​
For 2024, our compensation committee again granted 50% of the long-term incentive grant value in RSUs and 50% in PSUs. The RSUs vest and are distributed in annual installments over a three-year period. The PSUs, however, are designed to have a
three-year performance target based on ROIC with a three-year cliff vest. The achievement for PSUs is measured in three annual sub-periods; the average achievement for the three years included in the performance period will determine the achievement of the performance factor. This approach to PSUs started in 2024 based on discussions during shareholder engagement sessions and aligns with the long-term interests of shareholders. The STIP is an annual cash-based plan with performance goals based on EBITDA(1) and PRONWC (as defined below in footnote 2 in the table under the heading “Process Utilized in Setting Strategic STIP Performance Targets”).
​
​
(1)
EBITDA is defined as income before interest (interest expense and interest income), income tax provision (benefit), and depreciation and amortization and is not required by or presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to exclude the change in fair value of interest rate swaps. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate ongoing operations and believes they are useful to investors because they enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure (net income), please refer to our 2024 Annual Report, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
​
The compensation committee also made salary adjustments for our executive officers in late 2024 to reflect the changing median pay in our peer companies and individual officer performance.
Executive Compensation Elements
​
The four elements of the Company’s executive compensation program are:
STIP and LTIP awards are intended to comprise a significant portion of each officer’s total compensation opportunity and are designed to motivate and reward our officers for growing the Company and maximizing long-term shareholder
value. Ad hoc discretionary bonuses may be awarded occasionally for exceptional performance but are not a standard element of the Company’s executive compensation structure.

TARGET COMPENSATION PAY MIX

​ |  | ​ | ​ |  | ​

Role of Management in Setting Executive Compensation
​
As described below, the compensation committee increased the compensation of our officers for 2024. Management did not participate in such decisions. However, the Company’s current CEO makes, and in 2024 made, recommendations to the compensation committee with respect to base salaries and performance targets for the STIP and LTIP for officers other than himself. The compensation committee makes all decisions regarding each NEO’s base salary, LTIP and STIP targets, the overall performance targets of the plans, and the potential and actual payouts under each plan.
Under the omnibus stock plan (the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan and as proposed to be amended and restated, the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan), the Company has the ability to clawback all equity awards, both time-based and performance-based, upon various events including upon misconduct related to a restatement. Additionally, awards granted under the STIP and the LTIP (both time-based and performance-based) are subject to our Executive Compensation Clawback Policy and our Misconduct Clawback Policy. Our Executive Compensation Clawback Policy requires us to recoup such awards received on or after October 2, 2023 in the event of a financial restatement due to material noncompliance with a financial reporting
requirement under U.S. federal securities laws that would have resulted in lower payments based on the restated results. Our Misconduct Clawback Policy permits us to recoup such awards (i) if, as a result of a financial restatement, the award would have been lower had the financial results been properly calculated when originally reported, (ii) if an award was predicated on achieving financial results that were subsequently determined to be due to a fraudulent act by the officer or (iii) if an officer engaged in misconduct, including misconduct that results in reputational or financial harm to the Company, even if such misconduct does not result in a financial restatement. Misconduct includes an individual’s fraud or willful misconduct that results in reputational or financial harm to the Company, an individual’s material violation of law or the Company’s compliance and ethics-related policies or procedures, or an individual’s failure to appropriately supervise Company personnel. Both our Misconduct Clawback Policy (both time-based and performance-based) and our Executive Compensation Clawback Policy (performance-based only) apply to incentive-based compensation received during a three-year lookback period. Our Misconduct Clawback Policy applies to the extent not superseded by our Executive Compensation Clawback Policy.
​
Base Salary
​
Our compensation committee has historically reviewed base salaries for our NEOs on an annual basis and at the time of promotions or other changes in responsibilities. Consistent with past practice, in late 2024, the compensation committee approved
general base salary increases for the NEOs to continue to move them, as determined appropriate, toward the 50th percentile based upon FW Cook’s 2024 study. The November 2024 increases in NEO salaries averaged 4.90% and were in line with

​
Short Term Incentive Plan
​
The STIP is designed to recognize and reward the contributions that our NEOs and other participants make to the Company’s annual performance. Payout under the STIP is based on achievement of performance measures that are tied to the Company’s annual financial performance. We offer this plan to encourage and reward conduct that will lead to better performance of our businesses as measured by the performance criteria. Each NEO’s participation in the plan, along with the criteria for calculation of the payout, is established annually by our compensation committee and communicated to the participants in a STIP award notice. A determination of the amount payable under the plan based on actual performance is made by the compensation committee generally in February of the following year, and resulting payments or awards are then made to participants.
The actual STIP awards may be less than or greater than the target incentive amounts depending on
the achievement of pre-determined financial goals and performance objectives and the exercise of the compensation committee’s discretion.
For 2024, the compensation committee set a threshold of 25% of the target award as the minimum award to be granted under the program. If performance is below this threshold, no STIP payout is earned. The compensation committee also set a maximum of 225% of the target award and approved a payout graph with a payout line whereby once the level of performance is determined the award multiplier can be determined. The dollar amount of the threshold, target, and maximum award payable to each of our NEOs is set out in the table found under “2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” in this section of this proxy statement.
​
2024 STIP Compensation
​
For 2024, each of our NEOs participated in the STIP. The plan provided for awards to be determined based on the extent to which the financial goals and performance objectives were met during the year, subject to the compensation committee’s discretion.
Process Utilized in Setting Strategic STIP Performance Targets
The compensation committee employs a rigorous process to review the annual budget that promotes the Company’s strategic objectives and forms the basis for establishing the STIP performance targets.
Furthermore, the compensation committee takes into account Company-specific and industry outlook for the year, historical and projected growth rates for the Company as well as peers and external expectations and guidance.
The performance metrics established by the compensation committee under our 2024 STIP were based on forecasts of 1.40 million U.S. housing starts, a primary metric in our business. In setting the STIP target in February 2024, the compensation committee evaluated forecasted earnings for 2024, and market and industry conditions including the continued decisions made by the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates to combat high

levels of inflation which significantly increased mortgage rates in past years. Elevated mortgage rates, when coupled with high home prices, created home affordability constraints and uncertainty broadly across the U.S. economy. As such, the compensation committee expected a deceleration in housing starts compared with actual housing starts of 1.42 million in 2023 and 1.55 million in 2022. In addition, in 2024, the Company expected continued price erosion and reduced volumes for our EWP products due to slowing economic activity
and decreased demand for new residential construction. The compensation committee set the STIP target at a level intended to drive meaningful performance while balancing concerns for expected pricing and volume impacts. The annual incentive target awards, financial goals, and performance objectives required for each NEO participating in the STIP for 2024 are set forth below. Actual payouts are also shown. No discretion was exercised by the compensation committee in awarding payouts for 2024.

2024 Ad Hoc Discretionary Bonus Awards
​
From time to time, the compensation committee may elect to grant a discretionary bonus to one or more of the NEOs or to other employees to recognize and reward exemplary performance providing value to the Company beyond what is recognized by the structure of the STIP. A formal plan does not
govern these bonus payments, and no NEO has any contractual entitlement or expectation of any such payment. The amount and timing of the grant of any such bonus to NEOs are determined by the compensation committee at its sole discretion. No such bonuses were awarded in 2024 to the NEOs.
​
Long Term Incentive Plan
​
We make grants of RSUs and PSUs under our long-term equity-based award agreements (LTIP) under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan which provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, other stock- based awards, other cash-based compensation, and performance awards. The purpose of the LTIP is to provide incentives that will attract, retain, and motivate high-performing officers, Directors, employees, and consultants by
providing them a proprietary interest in our long-term success or compensation based on their performance in fulfilling their responsibilities to our Company. The LTIP is administered by our compensation committee.
Awards granted under the LTIP are subject to our recoupment policies.
​
2024 LTIP Compensation
​
In February 2024, the compensation committee approved equity grants under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan to our NEOs. The amount and structure of the grants were based on the recommendations FW Cook made as a result of the study they conducted on behalf of the compensation committee. Officer participants received two types of equity grants: RSUs and PSUs. The compensation committee set a dollar amount for each participant to calculate the target RSU and PSU grants on the day of the award after market close. Half of the value of the target award was granted in RSUs. The other half of the target award was granted in PSUs.
The RSUs awarded in 2024 vest over a three-year period with one-third vesting on March 1 of each of
2025, 2026, and 2027 with share distribution the following trading day. The PSUs awarded at target are adjusted by a performance factor determined by the performance objectives described below and may be further adjusted at the discretion of the compensation committee. The performance-adjusted PSUs granted in 2024 vest in a single installment on March 1, 2027, with share distribution the following trading day. Vesting of PSUs and RSUs is subject to an officer’s continued employment with the Company, with certain limited exceptions described below.
The 2024 LTIP awards were based on a closing market value on March 1, 2024 of  $137.79 and are as follows:
​

​ | Financial Goal PSUs | ​ | ​ | Threshold 50% of PSUs | ​ | ​ | Target 100% of PSUs | ​ | ​ | Maximum 200% of PSUs | ​

The compensation committee chose ROIC as the performance metric in the LTIP to differentiate from the EBITDA measure used in the STIP because it believed ROIC would put a focus on short-term and long-term investments and reinforce the importance of shareholder returns. If the average ROIC achieved over the three-year performance period is below threshold as shown above, no PSUs are earned. At threshold performance, 50% of the target PSUs are earned, and at maximum performance, 200% of the target PSUs are earned. The compensation committee approved a payout scale such that when results fall between the threshold and maximum reference points, interpolation is used to determine the actual PSUs to be awarded. Achievement is measured in annual sub-periods based on ROIC for 2024, 2025, and 2026. The average achievement for the three years included in the performance period will determine the number of earned PSU’s.
In 2024 the PSUs awarded are earned based on a three-year ROIC performance established by the compensation committee and are subject to a three-year cliff vest. The increase from a 1-year performance period to a 3-year performance period was approved by the compensation committee in 2024 in response to shareholder feedback, and to better align with our peers and increase focus on creating long-term value for the company. Based on the market conditions and the nature of the products we manufacture and distribute, the committee supports the change to the plan design and believes a 3-year performance period better aligns management with the long-term interests of our shareholders.
Vesting of LTIP awards is subject to an NEO’s continued employment through the vesting date, except in certain limited circumstances. If an NEO dies or becomes disabled,
(i)
all unvested RSUs become vested and
​
(ii)
all earned PSUs for which the performance metric has been satisfied become vested at that amount.
​
In the event the performance year applicable to the PSUs has not elapsed at the time of such death or disability, the PSUs will vest based on actual achievement of the performance metric. In the event of an NEO’s eligible retirement,
(i)
unvested RSUs become vested as to 1/3 of the
​
award, multiplied by a pro rata portion based on the number of full calendar months that has elapsed during the then 12-month vesting period prior to retirement, divided by 12, and
(ii)
earned PSUs become vested as to a pro rata portion based on the number of full calendar months that has elapsed during the vesting period prior to retirement, divided by 36.
​
Payout occurs on the normally scheduled payout date for the PSU awards, and upon retirement for the pro rata RSU awards. For purposes of LTIP vesting, the definition of retirement was updated to mean the NEO’s termination on the earlier of: the calendar year in which the NEO attains age 62 and completion of at least 10 years of employment with the Company and its predecessors, or age 65 and completion of at least five years of employment with the Company. This definition applies to LTIP awards granted on or after March 1, 2024. For all outstanding awards granted prior to this date, the definition of retirement remains unchanged as described in the applicable grant agreement. In 2024, an additional circumstance was added to the LTIP grant agreement. In the event an NEO continues to serve as or is appointed as a member of the Company’s Board immediately following termination,
(i)
unvested RSUs shall continue to vest and become payable as if the NEO remained employed by the Company for as long as the NEO continues to serve as a member of the Company’s Board, and
​
(ii)
unvested PSUs shall continue to vest and become payable as if the NEO remained employed by the Company for as long as the NEO continues to serve as a member of the Company’s Board. This provision applies to LTIP awards granted on or after March 1, 2024.
​
In the event of a change in control in which the LTIP awards are not replaced by an equivalent award,
(i)
RSUs become vested, and
​
(ii)
unearned PSUs become vested at target and PSUs for which the performance metric has been satisfied and, therefore, are subject to time-vesting, become vested.

Other Compensation and Benefit Plans
​
The Company’s NEOs receive additional compensation under a few other compensation and benefit plans, as further described below. These plans and benefits, except those that are frozen or closed to new entrants, are provided to create an aggregate compensation and benefits package that is competitive in the marketplace, thereby helping us to attract and retain the management talent needed to achieve the Company’s strategic objectives.
Boise Cascade Supplemental Pension Plan
On December 31, 2009, the compensation committee froze our nonqualified Boise Cascade Supplemental Pension Plan (SUPP) in which Messrs. Hibbs and Little participated. The benefits accrued will be paid from the Company’s general assets. The aggregate, present value of the pension benefits as of December 31, 2024, for each of our NEOs who are participants in the SUPP are disclosed in the table found under the heading “2024 Supplemental Pension Benefits” following this CD&A.
Boise Cascade Company Savings Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) defined- contribution savings plan for all of its U.S. salaried employees, including its NEOs. Under the plan, eligible employees electing to participate may contribute up to 50% of their pretax income, subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules limiting an individual’s total contributions and the application of IRS tests designed to ensure that the plan does not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees.
Since January 2013, the Company has provided a contribution to each salaried employee’s 401(k) account for each pay period in an amount equal to 4% of the employee’s eligible wages (base salary and short-term incentive compensation) for the period. If the Company’s EBITDA meets or exceeds targets specified by the compensation committee and the Board, the Company is able to make additional discretionary contributions in an amount up to 2%, 3%, or 4% of the employee’s wages, depending on the affected employee’s number
of years of service. For 2024, the compensation committee and the Board set an Adjusted EBITDA minimum performance threshold of  $200 million and maximum of  $450 million. The Company approved a payout scale so that when performance falls between the threshold and maximum levels linear interpolation is used to determine the actual award. Amounts in excess of IRS annual limitations on the amount of income on which Company contributions may be made to qualified defined contribution retirement plans are paid to participants as taxable cash compensation and/or credited to the participant’s deferred compensation account. In 2024, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA performance was $633 million. All of our NEOs participate in the plan.
Amounts deferred under this plan by the NEOs are included in the salary disclosure in the “Summary Compensation Table,” and amounts contributed by the Company to the account of an NEO under the plan are included in the “All Other Compensation” column in the “Summary Compensation Table.”
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Under the Boise Cascade Company Deferred Compensation Plan, participating employees irrevocably elect each year to defer receipt of a portion of their base salary and incentive compensation. A participant’s account is credited with an amount equal to what the Company’s 401(k) contribution would have been if the money had not been deferred under the 401(k) plan rather than the deferred compensation plan and with imputed interest at a rate equal to 130% of Moody’s Composite Average of Yields on Corporate Bonds. Participants may receive payment of their deferred compensation plan balance in a lump sum or installments over a specified period of years following the termination of their employment with the Company or can elect distributions of in- service account deferrals prior to termination, as specified in the plan. Amounts deferred under this plan in any relevant year or contributed to the account under the plan by any of our NEOs are disclosed in the “2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table.

Agreements with Named Executive Officers
​
The Company does not have employment agreements with any of its NEOs other than the severance agreements described in this section.
In 2022, the Company entered into new severance agreements with each of the NEOs to maintain operating continuity in the event of a change of control. The severance agreements generally are effective until January 31st of the following year, except that if the Company does not give notice of non-extension 60 days prior to expiration, the term of each severance agreement will be automatically extended for an additional year.
The severance agreements for the NEOs provide that in the event of a “qualifying termination” (meaning any termination with the exception of a termination (i) by the Company for cause or disability; (ii) by the NEO other than for good reason (as described in the severance agreement); or (iii) as a result of the NEO’s death), the NEO will be entitled to receive (a) their full base salary through the date of termination, a STIP payment for the year of termination based on the plan’s actual payout for the year and pro-rated to reflect the portion of the year expired prior to termination, and all other compensation to which he or she is then entitled; (b) a lump-sum severance payment equal to two times the sum of  (i) the NEO’s annual base salary plus (ii) target STIP for the year in which the termination occurs; (c) a lump-sum amount equal to the value of such NEO’s unused and accrued time off, less any advanced time off, in accordance with
the applicable time-off policy in effect on the termination date; and (d) a lump sum payment equal to 18 times the monthly Company-paid premium amount for all life, disability, accident, and healthcare plans, programs, or arrangements.
In the event of a change in control, the agreements require a second trigger of a qualifying termination from employment before benefits are payable.
The severance agreements provide that in the event of a non-qualifying termination, the NEO will be entitled to receive their full base salary through the date of termination, plus all other compensation to which they are then entitled. In the event of a failure to perform duties as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury, the NEO will be entitled to continue to receive the full base salary until such time as employment is terminated due to disability. No severance payments or continuation of healthcare benefits beyond the date of termination are provided for under such circumstances.
In consideration of the severance payments described above, each severance agreement contains confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non- disparagement provisions, and a general release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates, as a condition of payment of benefits under the severance agreement.

​

Amounts included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table.”

​
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
​
The following table reflects an estimate of the compensation the Company would have been required to pay to each of its NEOs under the compensation plans, contracts, agreements, and arrangements between each such individual and the Company for:
●
Voluntary termination with good reason or involuntary termination by the Company without cause;
​
●
A change in control without adoption of a replacement plan or assumption of the existing obligations under plans;
​
●
Death or disability; or
​
●
Retirement, as applicable.
​
The amounts shown assume that such termination or change in control was effective as of December 31, 2024. The actual amounts the Company would have been required to pay on other dates may be determined only at the time of separation from the Company or the change in control and will accordingly vary from those
disclosed here, which are based on a hypothetical December 31, 2024 termination. The amounts disclosed here do not include amounts earned by the NEO through that time as base salary, any bonuses approved by the compensation committee prior to that date, and payments earned prior to that date, such as 2024 awards earned pursuant to our STIP, because neither their amount nor the timing of the payment is affected by the fact or the nature of the termination of employment. In addition, the disclosure does not include amounts payable pursuant to the 401(k), deferred compensation, or pension plans, which are disclosed elsewhere in the CD&A in this proxy statement, and accompanying tables.
The availability of severance payments and continued healthcare and insurance benefits beyond termination of employment is contractually conditioned for each of our NEOs on their provision to the Company of a release of claims arising from their employment and the termination thereof and their performance of contractual confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement obligations contained in their severance

Pay Ratio Disclosure
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd Frank) and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the CEO total compensation of Nate Jorgensen.
For 2024, our last completed fiscal year:
●
The annual total compensation of our median employee (excluding our CEO and our employees in Canada) was $65,533; and
​
●
The total compensation of our CEO was $7,509,149 based on the 2024 amounts reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table”.
​
Based on this information, we estimate that the annual total compensation of our CEO was approximately 114.6 times that of our median employee in 2024.
We identified our median employee by preparing a list of all our employees (excluding our CEO and our employees in Canada) as of December 31, 2024. We then collected the information necessary to calculate Medicare taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2024, as will be reported to the IRS on Form W-2 for the employees included in such list.
We did not include our employees in Canada in determining our median employee, as they accounted for less than 5% of our total employee population as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of 7,532 employees, comprised of 7,436 U.S.-based employees, and 96 employees in Canada.

​ | Location | ​ | ​ | # of Employees | ​ | ​ | % of Total | ​ | ​ | ​ | Total # of Employees | ​
​ | U.S. | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 7,436 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 98.7% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 7,532 | ​ | ​
​ | Canada | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 96 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 1.3% | ​ | ​ | ​

The pay ratio included above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median-compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Mr. Jorgensen was the CEO (PEO) for all five fiscal years.

(2)
The Non-PEO NEOs for whom the average compensation is presented in this table are for fiscal 2024, Messrs. Hibbs, Little, and Strom, and Ms. Twedt; for fiscal 2023 and 2022,, Messrs. Hibbs, Brown, and Strom, and Ms. Twedt; for fiscal 2021, Messrs. Hibbs, Rancourt, Brown, and Strom and Ms. Twedt, and for fiscal 2020, Messrs. Corrick, Rancourt, Brown, and Stokes, and Ms. Twedt.

The amounts shown in the “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs” columns have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs. These amounts reflect the “Total” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” for the applicable fiscal year with certain adjustments as described in footnote 4.
​
(4)
“Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs” columns reflects the deductions and adjustments of certain amounts for the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs as set forth below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Amounts in the “Deduction to Stock Awards” column below are the amounts from the “Stock Awards” column set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table”. Amounts in the “Deduction to Change in Pension Value” column below reflect the change in pension value included in the “Change in Pension Value/Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” column reported in the “Summary Compensation Table”. Amounts in the “Adjustment to Pension Service Cost” column below are based on the service cost for services rendered during the listed year.
​
(5)
The peer group used for this total shareholder return (TSR) calculation is comprised of the S&P 600 Building Products Index. This is the same peer group as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for 2024. The peer group TSR is weighted according to the index’s stock market capitalization on December 31, 2019. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the index, respectively, and assumes dividends were reinvested in the Company’s stock. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. Beginning in 2023, the Company transitioned to the S&P 600 Building Products Index as the peer group for the TSR calculation. This change in peer group was to better reflect the industry in which we compete, as the S&P 600 Building Products Index represents small capitalization building products industry performance.

EBITDA is calculated as set forth on page 39 of the proxy statement.

​ |  | ​ | ​ |  | ​ | ​ | Our Board recommends shareholders vote FOR the approval of the 2025 Boise Cascade Omnibus Incentive Plan. | ​

We are asking our shareholders to approve the amendment and restatement of the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan as the 2025 Boise Cascade Omnibus Incentive Plan (2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan). The 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved by our shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders on April 27, 2016 and allows for the grant of stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, performance awards including PSUs, other-share based awards and other rights, interests or options relating to shares or other property (including cash). The 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that awards can be granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan on or prior to the tenth anniversary of such approval which tenth anniversary is April 27, 2026.
In view of the limited time period remaining under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan to make new awards, on the recommendation of the compensation committee, the Board unanimously adopted, subject to approval of our shareholders, the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan in order to extend the time during which awards could be granted and make certain other changes. Shareholder approval of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan will allow us to continue to make awards after April 27, 2026.
As discussed in the CD&A, our STIP and LTIP implement an important part of our compensation philosophy regarding paying for performance. The awards help us remain competitive in attracting,
retaining and motivating those individuals needed for the future growth and success of our Company. The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan was designed to maximize the alignment of interests shared by such individuals and our shareholders and corporate governance best practices and allow grants of awards beyond April 27, 2026.
As of December 31, 2024, there were 1,939,666 shares available under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan for new awards but, as noted above, awards cannot be granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan after April 27, 2026. If the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is approved, as of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting (Approval Date), 1,710,000 shares would be available for awards, less one share for every one share with respect to awards granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan after December 31, 2024 and prior to the Approval Date. Awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan can be granted beyond April 27, 2026. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of awards that may be granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan after December 31, 2024 and prior to shareholder approval of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is 1,710,000. The share reserve under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan reflects a reduction in the number of shares available for equity awards. If the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is not approved by shareholders, the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan will remain in effect and will not permit the granting of new awards after April 27, 2026.

Current Overview of Outstanding Equity Information
The 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan is the only active stock plan under which stock awards may be granted by the Company. The table below sets forth information about outstanding awards that have been granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as of December 31, 2024.

​ | Number of shares that are authorized for future grant under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 1,939,666 | ​ | ​
​ | Number of full-value awards (RSUs and PSUs) outstanding | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 388,821 | ​ | ​
​ | Number of stock options outstanding | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0 | ​ | ​
​ | Weighted average remaining term of outstanding options | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | — | ​ | ​
​ | Weighted average exercise price of outstanding options | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | — | ​ | ​

In setting and recommending to shareholders the number of shares to authorize under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the compensation committee, with the advice of FW Cook, its compensation consultant, and the Board considered
the historical number of stock awards granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as well as the Company’s three-year average burn rate and the burn rate for each of the preceding three fiscal years as follows:
​

​ | Fiscal Year | ​ | ​ | Stock Options Granted (A) | ​ | ​ | Full-Value Awards (RSUs) Granted (B) | ​ | ​ | Performance- Based Full-Value Awards (PSUs) Earned (C) | ​ | ​ | Total (A)+(B)+(C) | ​ | ​ | Basic Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding | ​ | ​ | Burn Rate | ​
​ | 2024 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 72,377 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 148,872 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 221,249 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 39,086,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0.57% | ​ | ​
​ | 2023 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 116,454 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 154,794 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 271,248 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 39,649,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0.68% | ​ | ​
​ | 2022 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 86,869 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 58,935 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 145,804 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 39,526,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0.37% | ​ | ​
​ | 3-Year Average | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0.54% | ​ | ​

The Company’s average burn rate for the preceding three fiscal years as set forth in the table above was 0.54%. The burn rate is the ratio of the number of shares underlying awards granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan during a fiscal year (or, with respect to PSUs, earned under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan during a fiscal year) to the number of the Company’s basic weighted average common shares outstanding during the corresponding fiscal year.
The aggregate shares shown in the table above represent a fully-diluted overhang of approximately 1.02% based on Company common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024. If the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is approved, the shares available for issuance would decrease the overhang to approximately 0.96%. The Company calculates the fully diluted “overhang” as the total of  (a) shares underlying outstanding awards plus shares available for issuance under future stock awards, divided by (b) the total number of shares outstanding, shares underlying outstanding awards, and shares available for issuance under future stock awards.
When considering the number of additional shares to recommend for the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the compensation committee and the Board reviewed, among other things, the potential dilution to the Company’s current shareholders as measured by burn rate and overhang, projected future share usage, and projected future forfeitures. The projected future usage of shares for long-term incentive awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan was reviewed under scenarios based on a variety of assumptions. Depending on assumptions, the shares that would be available under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan are projected to satisfy the Company’s stock compensation needs for several years. In light of the factors considered by the compensation committee and the Board, the compensation committee and the Board believe that this number of shares represents reasonable potential equity dilution and provides a significant incentive for employees, non-employee Directors and consultants to increase the value of the Company for all shareholders.
Considering the factors described above, and the fact that our ability to continue to grant stock-based

compensation is vital to our ability to continue to attract and retain key personnel in the labor markets in which we compete, the Board has determined that the size of the share reserve under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is reasonable and appropriate at this time.

Highlights of 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan and Key Corporate Governance Provisions
​
●
No Repricing: Repricing of options and SARs is prohibited without shareholder approval.
​
●
Dividends: Dividends or dividend equivalents payable in connection with time-based or performance-based awards are subject to the same vesting restrictions, performance conditions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying award and are not paid unless and until such vesting restrictions, performance conditions and lapse of forfeiture restrictions are satisfied. (The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan specifically extends the limitation on treatment of dividends and dividend equivalents to time-based as well as performance-based awards).
​
●
Director Limits: Annual awards to non-employee Directors are limited. The value of shares and cash awarded to a single, non-employee Director during a calendar year may not exceed $700,000 (an increase from the $450,000 limit contained in the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan).
​
●
No single-trigger acceleration: Under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company does not automatically accelerate vesting of awards in connection with a change in control of the Company. The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides awards that are assumed or replaced in a change in control of the Company can vest only if there is a subsequent involuntary termination of employment (frequently referred to as “double-trigger” vesting).

Clawback: Under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has the ability to clawback all equity awards, both time-based and performance-based, upon various events including upon misconduct related to a restatement. All awards are also subject to the Company’s additional clawback policies.
​
●
No liberal share counting for options and SARs: The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan prohibits the liberal recycling of options and SARs.
​
●
No increase in shares available without shareholder approval: The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan prohibits any amendment to increase the total number of shares that may be issued under the plan (other than customary adjustments in connection with certain corporate reorganizations or other events) without shareholder approval.
​
●
No automatic share replenishment or “evergreen” provision: There is no evergreen feature pursuant to which the shares authorized for issuance under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan will be automatically replenished. The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan does not have a set term and generally allows for grants of awards only so long as there are shares available for issuance under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Purpose and Eligible Participants
The purpose of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is to assist the Company in attracting and retaining individuals to serve as employees, Directors or consultants and/or advisors who are expected to contribute to the Company’s success and to achieve long-term objectives that will benefit shareholders of the Company through the additional incentives inherent in the awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for awards to employees, Directors, consultants and/or advisors of the Company of options, restricted stock, RSUs, SARs, performance awards (which may
take the form of performance cash, performance units or performance shares) and other awards. Subject to the terms of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the compensation committee has discretion to determine the form of the award, the amount of the award, and the terms and conditions under which the award is granted.
As of March 5, 2025, 148 employees, ten non-employee Directors and no consultants would be eligible to participate in the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
​
Administration
The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee. The compensation committee generally may delegate its power, authority and duties under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, except as prohibited by law. The compensation committee determines who among those eligible to participate in the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan will be granted awards, determines
the amounts and types of awards to be granted, determines the terms and conditions of all awards (subject to the terms of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan), and construes and interprets the terms of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Determinations of the compensation committee are final, binding, and conclusive.
​
Shares Available for Issuance
The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is 1,710,000 which amount shall be reduced by one (1) share for every one (1) share granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan after December 31, 2024 and prior to the Approval Date. Shares subject to an award that is forfeited, an award that expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of shares, or an award settled for cash (in whole or in part) or that otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the shares subject to the award are added to the shares available for grant under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan on a one-for-one basis. In the event that any withholding tax liabilities arising
from an award other than an option or stock appreciation right are satisfied by the tendering or withholding of shares, then in each such case the shares so tendered or withheld will be added to the shares available for grant on a one-for-one basis. The following shares will not be added to the shares authorized for grant under the plan: (i) shares tendered or withheld in payment of the purchase price or to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an option or SAR; (ii) shares subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with its stock settlement on exercise thereof; and (iii) shares reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of options.
​
Director Limit
The aggregate amount of all compensation granted to any non-employee Director during any calendar year of the Company, including any awards (based on grant date fair value computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial
accounting rules) and any cash retainer or meeting fee paid or provided for service on the Board or any committee thereof, or any award granted in lieu of any such cash retainer or meeting fee, will not exceed $700,000.

Type of Awards
Stock Options
​
Stock options may be either nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options (ISOs). The option exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of the grant. The exercise term of a stock option cannot exceed
ten years. The terms and conditions of the option, including the number of shares to which the option pertains, its exercise price, vesting, and expiration are determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an award document.
​
Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)
​
Freestanding and tandem SARs, or a combination thereof may be granted to participants. A SAR may not have a term greater than ten years. The terms and conditions (including exercise price), vesting, expiration, and exercisability are determined by the
compensation committee and set forth in an award document. The compensation committee also determines whether payment on exercise of a SAR is made in cash, in whole shares, or in any combination thereof.
​
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
​
Restricted stock and RSUs may be granted to participants. The terms and conditions, including the period of restriction and the number of shares or units granted, are determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an award document. The restrictions may be based upon such factors as achievement of specific performance goals and/or time-based restrictions on vesting. Restricted stock or RSUs will be forfeited to the extent that a participant fails to satisfy the applicable conditions to lift the restrictions.
Generally, but subject to the discretion of the compensation committee, a participant holding restricted stock has, during the period of restriction, the right to vote the shares and will be credited with dividends. Participants awarded RSUs are not entitled to voting rights but are entitled to dividends. Dividends payable on restricted stock or RSUs will be subject to the restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent of the underlying award and will not be paid until the restrictions and risk of forfeiture lapse.
​
Other Share-Based Awards
​
The compensation committee has discretion to grant other awards of shares or other awards valued in whole or in part by reference to shares or other property. That discretion includes granting deferred
stock units. The terms and conditions, including exercise price, vesting, and expiration are determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an award document.
​
Performance Awards
​
The compensation committee has discretion to grant performance awards in the form of performance cash, performance shares or performance units. The performance goals to be achieved for each performance period shall be conclusively determined by the compensation
committee. Performance awards will be distributed only after the end of the relevant Performance Period. The terms and conditions, including dividend equivalents, are determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an award document.
​
Performance Measures
​
Under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, awards may be subject to the achievement of one or more performance goals established by the compensation
committee, including but not limited to : (i) sales (including comparable sales), net sales, or return on sales; (ii) revenue, net revenue, product revenue or

The compensation committee may provide for exclusion of the impact of an event or occurrence which the compensation committee determines should appropriately be excluded, including but not limited to (i) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and other unusual, infrequent or non-recurring charges or events, (ii) asset write-downs, (iii) significant litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iv) acquisitions or divestitures, (v) any reorganization or change in the corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, (vi) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company, subsidiary, division, business segment or business unit or not within the reasonable control of management, (vii) foreign exchange gains and losses, (viii) a change in the fiscal year of the Company, (ix) the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes in accordance with GAAP, or (x) the effect of changes in other laws or regulatory rules affecting reporting results. Subject to certain equitable adjustments as provided in the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, no participant may be granted (i) options or SARs during any 12-month period with respect to more than 500,000 shares; and (ii) awards other than options or SARs during any calendar year that are intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Section 162(m) and are denominated in shares under which more than 500,000 shares may be earned for each 12 months in the vesting period or performance period. During any calendar year no participant may be granted performance awards that are intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Section 162(m) and are denominated in cash under which more than $5,000,000 may be earned for each 12 months in the performance period. Each of these limitations will be multiplied by two with respect to awards granted to a

participant during the first calendar year in which the participant commences employment with the Company and its subsidiaries. If an award is canceled, the canceled award will continue to be
counted toward the applicable limitation. The performance-based exception under Section 162(m) is generally no longer available.
​
Change in Control and Double Trigger
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan) of the Company, there is generally no trigger of the awards if the successor company continues, assumes or substitutes other grants for outstanding awards. However, if not assumed or a qualifying termination occurs within two years following the change in control, unless otherwise specified in the applicable award agreement:
●
Options and SARs outstanding as of the date of the termination of employment will immediately vest, become fully exercisable, and may with respect to a qualifying termination of employment thereafter be exercised for 24 months (or the period of time set forth in the award agreement);
​
●
The restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to restricted stock and RSUs
​
outstanding as of the date of such termination of employment will lapse and the restricted stock and RSUs shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested;
●
Performance-based awards including PSUs shall be fully vested with performance deemed to occur at the greater of  (i) actual performance as of the change in control as determined by the compensation committee in its sole discretion and (ii) target level of performance; and
​
●
The restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any other share-based awards shall lapse, and such other share-based awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.
​
​
Adjustments
In the event of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend or distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property, other than a regular cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, or similar transaction or other change in corporate structure affecting the shares or the value thereof, our compensation committee will make appropriate adjustments and other substitutions to the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan and to the awards under the plan in a manner the compensation committee deems equitable or appropriate. including such adjustments in the aggregate number, class and kind of securities that may be delivered under the plan, the limitations on grant to individual participants, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to ISOs and, in the aggregate or to any participant, in the number, class, kind and option or exercise price of securities subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (including, if the compensation committee deems appropriate, the substitution of similar options to purchase the shares of, or other awards denominated in the shares of, another company); provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any award shall always be a whole number.
In the event of any change in control or any of the transactions described above, after giving effect to any accelerated vesting in the event awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan are not assumed or substituted, the compensation committee, either by the terms of the award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the participant’s request, is authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the compensation committee determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan or with respect to any award granted or issued under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or (y) to facilitate such transaction or event: (i) to provide for the cancellation of any such award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such award or realization of the participant’s rights under the vested portion of such award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such award or realization of the participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the award may be

terminated without payment; (ii) to provide that such award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares or applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the compensation committee; (iii) to make adjustments in the number and type of shares (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding awards and/or in the terms and conditions of  (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding awards (including to provide that performance-based awards shall convert to time-based awards upon such terms and conditions as the compensation committee shall determine); (iv) to replace such award with other rights or property selected by the compensation committee; or (v) to provide that the award will terminate and cannot be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.
​
Withholding
The Company has the right to make all payments or distributions under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan to participants net of any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld as a result of any event occurring with respect to an award. The compensation committee is authorized to establish procedures for election by
participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes by tendering previously acquired shares (either actually or by attestation, valued at their then fair market value), or by directing the Company to retain shares (up to the maximum required tax withholding rate for the participant).
​
Repricing Prohibition
Other than pursuant to adjustment as provided for in the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the compensation committee may not without the approval of the Company’s shareholders cancel an option or SAR in exchange for cash when the exercise or grant price per share exceeds the fair market value of a share or take any action with
respect to an option or SAR that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities exchange on which the shares are traded, including a reduction of the exercise price of an option or the grant price of a SAR or the exchange of an option or SAR for another award.
​
Transferability of Awards
No award and no shares that have not been issued or as to which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period has not lapsed, may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Awards under the plan may be exercised during the life of the participant only by the participant or the participant’s guardian or legal representative. However, the compensation committee may choose to allow a participant to assign or transfer an award without consideration (i) to the participant’s spouse, children or grandchildren (including any adopted and step children or grandchildren), parents, grandparents or siblings; (ii) to a trust for the benefit of one or
more of the participant or the persons referred to in clause (i); (iii) to a partnership, limited liability company or corporation in which the participant or the persons referred to in clause (i) are the only partners, members or shareholders; or (iv) for charitable donations; provided that such assignee is bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the award agreement relating to the transferred award and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing the obligations. Under all transfers, the participants remain bound by the terms and conditions of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
​
Clawback of Awards
Under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has the ability to clawback all equity awards, both time-based and performance-based, upon various events including upon misconduct related to a restatement. Additionally, all
performance-based awards granted under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan are subject to recoupment in accordance with the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy, as amended from time to time, as required by the

listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed) and Section 10D of the Exchange Act or as otherwise required by applicable law. In addition, all time-based awards are subject
to recoupment in accordance with any other recoupment policy adopted by the Company, including the Company’s Misconduct Clawback Policy.
​
Term, Amendment and Termination
The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan will be effective on the date of the approval of the plan by the shareholders and awards may be granted under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan at any time after the Approval Date and from time to time without any term limitation except that in no event may an incentive stock option or restricted stock award be granted more than ten (10) years after the Approval Date although outstanding awards can remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired. In addition, no amendments to, or termination of, the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan shall impair the rights of a participant in any material respect under any award previously granted without such participant’s consent.
The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan will be null and void and of no effect if the shareholders do not approve the plan and the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan shall continue in effect.
The Board generally may amend or terminate the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for shareholder approval imposed by applicable law,
including the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the shares are traded; provided that the Board may not amend the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan in any manner that would result in noncompliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; and further provided that the Board may not, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders to the extent required by such applicable law, amend the Plan to (i) increase the number of Shares that may be the subject of awards under the Plan, (ii) expand the types of awards available under the Plan, (iii) materially expand the class of persons eligible to participate, (d) amend the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan to eliminate the requirements relating to minimum exercise price, minimum grant price and shareholder approval or (iv) increase the maximum permissible term of any option or SAR specified by the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
No amendments to, or termination of, the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan shall impair the rights of a participant in any material respect under any award previously granted without such participant’s consent.
​
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The rules concerning the federal income tax consequences with respect to awards that would be made pursuant to the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan are technical and reasonable persons may differ on the proper interpretation of the rules. The applicable statutory and regulatory provisions are subject to change, as are their interpretations and applications, which may also vary in individual circumstances. The following discussion is designed to provide only a brief, general summary description of the federal income tax consequences associated with the awards, based on a good faith interpretation of the current federal income tax laws. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive or constitute tax advice and does not describe state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences, nor does it describe the consequences to any particular participant.
RSUs, PSUs and Certain Other Awards. In the case of an award of RSUs, PSUs, or cash, the
participant would generally recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to any cash received and the fair market value of any shares received on the date of payment. In that taxable year, we would receive a federal income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income that the participant has recognized.
Restricted Stock. A participant who receives an award of restricted stock does not generally recognize taxable income at the time of the award. Instead, the participant recognizes ordinary income in the first taxable year in which his or her interest in the shares becomes either: (a) freely transferable; or (b) no longer subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. The amount of taxable income is equal to the fair market value of the shares less the cash, if any, paid for the shares. A participant may elect to recognize income at the time of grant of restricted stock in an amount equal to the fair market value of the restricted stock (less any cash
​
Boise Cascade Company 2025 Proxy Statement| 67

TABLE OF CONTENTS​

​ | Proxy Statement Summary | ​ | ​ | Corporate Governance and Board Matters | ​ | ​ | Executive Compensation | ​ | ​ | Audit-Related Matters | ​ | ​ | Stock Ownership | ​ | ​ | Information about Our Annual Meeting | ​

paid for the shares) on the date of the award. We will receive a compensation expense deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant in the taxable year in which restrictions lapse (or in the taxable year of the award if, at that time, the participant had filed a timely election to accelerate recognition of income).
Nonqualified Stock Options (NQSOs). An optionee does not recognize taxable income upon the grant of an NQSO. Upon the exercise of such a stock option, the optionee recognizes ordinary income to the extent the fair market value of the shares received upon exercise of the NQSO on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price. We will receive an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income that the optionee recognizes upon the exercise of the stock option.
ISOs. Options issued and designated as ISOs are intended to qualify for special tax treatment under Code Section 422. Under the provisions of Code Section 422, an optionee will not be required to recognize any income for federal income tax purposes at the time of grant of an ISO, nor is the Company entitled to any deduction. The exercise of an ISO is also not a taxable event, although the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the option shares on the date of exercise is an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.
The taxation of gain or loss upon the sale of shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO depends, in part, on whether the shares are held for at least two years from the date the option was granted and at least one year from after the date the shares were transferred to the optionee. If shares issued to an optionee upon the exercise of an ISO are not disposed of prior to satisfying the holding period requirements, then upon the sale of the shares any amount realized in excess of the option price generally will be taxed to the optionee as long-term capital gain and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss. If shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO are disposed of prior to satisfying the holding period requirements described above (a “disqualifying disposition”), the optionee generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to any excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on the disposition of the shares) over the option price paid for the shares. Any further gain (or loss) realized
by the optionee generally will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on the holding period. If the optionee recognizes ordinary income upon a disqualifying disposition, the Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.
Subject to certain exceptions for death or disability, if an optionee exercises an ISO more than three months after termination of employment, the exercise of the option will be taxed as the exercise of a nonqualified stock option.
SARs. A participant who exercises a SAR will recognize ordinary income upon the exercise equal to the amount of cash and the fair market value of any shares received as a result of the exercise. We will receive an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income that the participant recognizes upon the exercise of the SAR.
Section 409A. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code provides special tax rules applicable to programs that provide for a deferral of compensation. Failure to comply with those requirements will result in accelerated recognition of income for tax purposes along with an additional tax equal to 20% of the amount included in income, and interest on deemed underpayments in certain circumstances. Certain awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan could be subject to the requirements of Section 409A.
Deductibility of Compensation. We generally will be entitled to a deduction at the same time, and in the same amount, as a participant recognizes ordinary income, subject to certain limitations imposed under the Code, including Section 162(m). Under Section 162(m), we cannot deduct compensation paid to certain covered employees in a calendar year that exceeds $1 million.
In addition, if a change in control of the Company causes awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan to accelerate vesting or is deemed to result in the attainment of performance goals, the participants could, in some cases, be considered to have received “excess parachute payments,” which could subject participants to a 20% excise tax on the excess parachute payments and could result in a disallowance of the Company’s deductions under Code Section 280G.
​
Plan Benefits
The granting of awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is discretionary. As such, the Board cannot now determine the number, value or type of
awards to be granted in the future for any individual or group of individuals. The equity grant program

Equity Compensation Plan Information
In 2016, shareholders approved the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which replaced the 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (2013 Incentive Plan). All new awards are made under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and no additional awards may be
granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan. The following table provides information about our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2024:

​ | AUDIT-RELATED MATTERS | ​

​ |  | ​ | ​ |  | ​ | ​ | Our Board recommends shareholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. | ​

The audit committee of our Board is responsible for the engagement of our independent auditor and has appointed KPMG in that capacity for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, our Board is submitting the selection of KPMG to our shareholders for ratification because we value our shareholders’ views on our independent registered public accounting firm. If the appointment of KPMG is not ratified, the audit committee will evaluate the basis for the shareholders’ vote when determining whether to continue the firm’s engagement, but the audit committee may ultimately decide to continue the engagement of the firm or another audit firm without resubmitting the matter to shareholders. Even if the selection of KPMG is ratified, the audit committee may, in its sole discretion, change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.
It is expected that one or more representatives of KPMG will be available online at the 2025 Annual Meeting to answer questions. They will also have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.
For information on the services KPMG provided for us in 2024, please refer to the audit committee report at page 71.
Shares will be voted according to shareholder instructions. This proposal is considered a routine matter with respect to which a broker or other nominee can generally vote in their discretion. Therefore, no broker non-votes are expected in connection with this proposal. This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting of the shareholders and entitled to vote.

The audit committee has discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, and Rule 2-07 of Regulation S-X, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the PCAOB and as approved by the SEC.

​

All of our audit committee members are financially literate, and the Board has determined that Ms. Humphreys and Messrs. Cooper and McDougall are audit committee financial experts, as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K under the
Securities Act. Our Board has also determined that Mr. McDougall and the other members of the audit committee are independent in accordance with the applicable NYSE listing rules.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Our Directors and Our Officers
Our Board has established Company stock ownership guidelines for our Directors, which are intended to ensure that our Directors acquire and maintain an equity stake in the Company and more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders. The Board has delegated its responsibility for oversight of the stock ownership guidelines to our corporate governance and nominating committee.
Our Director stock ownership guidelines provide that, within five years from becoming a Director, each Director should acquire and maintain stock ownership in the Company equal to five times their annual cash retainer. Each of our Directors has met this requirement or is on track to do so within the five-year timeframe.
Additionally, our Board has established Company stock ownership guidelines for our officers, which are intended to ensure that our officers acquire and maintain an equity stake in the Company and more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders.
Our officer stock ownership guidelines provide that within five years of the later of becoming an officer, or adoption of new guidelines, each officer should meet the guidelines. Ownership amount varies by officer level with the chief executive officer’s target at five times their salary, executive vice presidents’ and senior vice presidents’ target at two times their salary, and vice presidents’ target at one times their salary. Each of our NEOs has met this requirement or is on track to do so within the five-year timeframe.

Quorum
​
A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will exist if shareholders holding a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present online or by proxy. Shareholders have no right to cumulative voting as to any matter, including the election of Directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares of common stock that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a
quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Brokers do not have discretionary voting power on non-routine matters. Proposal No. 4, the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, is the only routine matter for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Award Agreement may provide that if on the last day of the term of an Option the Fair Market Value of one Share exceeds the option price per Share, the Participant has not exercised the Option (or a tandem Stock Appreciation Right, if applicable) and the Option has not expired, the Option shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on such day with payment made by withholding Shares otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option.

10. CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS
10.1 Assumption or Substitution of Certain Awards.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company in which the successor company assumes or substitutes for an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award, Other Share-Based Award or Performance Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and continues the Award), if a Participant’s employment with such successor company (or the Company) or a subsidiary thereof terminates pursuant to a Qualifying Termination within 24 months following such Change in Control (or such other period set forth in the Award Agreement, including prior thereto if applicable): (i) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of such termination of employment will immediately vest, become fully exercisable, and may thereafter be exercised for 24 months (or the period of time set forth in the Award Agreement), (ii) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units outstanding as of the date of such termination of employment shall lapse and the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested, (iii) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any Other Share-Based Awards shall lapse, and such Other Share-Based Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant, and (iv) any performance based Award shall be fully vested with performance deemed to occur at the greater of: (A) actual performance as of the Change in Control, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and (B) the target level of performance. For the purposes of this Section 10.1, an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Other Share-Based Award shall be considered assumed or substituted for if following the Change in Control the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Other Share-Based Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the transaction constituting the Change in Control by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor company, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be received upon the exercise or vesting of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Other Share-Based Award, for each Share subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company with a Fair Market Value substantially equal to the per Share consideration received by holders of Shares in the transaction constituting a Change in Control. The determination of whether Fair Market Value is substantially equal shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company to the extent the successor company does not assume or substitute for an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award, Other Share-Based Award or

Performance Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue the Award), then immediately prior to the Change in Control: (i) those Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control that are not assumed or substituted for (or continued) shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable, (ii) restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are not assumed or substituted for (or continued) shall lapse and the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested, (iii) the restrictions, other limitations and other conditions applicable to any Other Share-Based Awards that are not assumed or substituted for (or continued) shall lapse, and such Other Share-Based Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant, and (iv) any performance based Award shall be fully vested with performance deemed to occur at the greater of: (A) actual performance as of the Change in Control, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and (B) the target level of performance.
10.2 Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, Change in Control means the occurrence of any one of the following events (provided, however, that except with respect to paragraph (d) below, any definition of Change in Control in an Award Agreement may not provide that a Change in Control will occur prior to consummation or effectiveness of a change in control of the Company and may not provide that a Change in Control will occur upon the announcement, commencement, stockholder approval or other potential occurrence of any event or transaction that, if completed, would result in a change in control of the Company):
(a) During any twenty-four (24) month period, individuals who, as of the beginning of such period, constitute the Board (the Incumbent Directors) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a Director subsequent to the beginning of such period whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for Director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a Director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to Directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;
(b) Any “person” ​(as such term is defined in the Exchange Act and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” ​(as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the Company Voting Securities); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (b) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (i) by the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, (iv) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction, as defined in paragraph (c), or (v) by any person of Company Voting Securities from the Company, if a majority of the Incumbent Board approves in advance the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 30% or more of Company Voting Securities by such person;
(c) The consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a Business Combination), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (i) more than 50% of the total voting power of  (A) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the Surviving Corporation), or (B) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the Parent Corporation), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (ii) no person (other than any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 30%
Boise Cascade Company 2025 Proxy Statement| A-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS
or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualifying Transaction); or
(d) The stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or
(e) The consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 30% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.

GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS
​
11.1 Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for stockholder approval imposed by applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Shares are traded; provided that the Board may not amend the Plan in any manner that would result in noncompliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; and further provided that the Board may not, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent required by such applicable law, amend the Plan to (a) increase the number of Shares that may be the subject of Awards under the Plan (except for adjustments pursuant to Section 11.2), (b) expand the types of awards available under the Plan, (c) materially expand the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan, (d) amend Section 5.3 or Section 6.2(g) to eliminate the requirements relating to minimum exercise price, minimum grant price and stockholder approval, (e) increase the maximum permissible term of any Option specified by Section 5.4 or the maximum permissible term of a Stock Appreciation Right specified by Section 6.2(e), or (f) increase any of the limitations in Section 9.7. The Board may not (except pursuant to Section 11.2 or in connection with a Change in Control), without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, cancel an Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash when the exercise or grant price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of one Share or take any action with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities exchange on which the Shares are traded, including a reduction of the exercise price of an Option or the grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right or the exchange of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right for another Award. In addition, no amendments to, or termination of, the Plan shall impair the rights of a Participant in any material respect under any Award previously granted without such Participant’s consent.
11.2 Adjustments. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend or distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property, other than a regular cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or similar transaction or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares or the value thereof, such adjustments and other substitutions shall be made to the Plan and to Awards in a manner the Committee deems equitable or appropriate taking into consideration the accounting and tax consequences, including such adjustments in the aggregate number, class and kind of securities that may be delivered under the Plan, the limitations in Section 9.7 (other than to Awards denominated in cash), the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options and, in the aggregate or to any Participant, in the number, class, kind and option or exercise price of securities subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan (including, if the Committee deems appropriate, the substitution of similar options to purchase the shares of, or other awards denominated in the shares of, another company); provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. In the event of any Change in Control or any of the transactions described above, after giving effect to any accelerated vesting pursuant to Article 9 in the event Awards under the Plan are not assumed or substituted for as provided therein, the Committee, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such

transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Committee determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, or (y) to facilitate such transaction or event: (i) to provide for the cancellation of any such Award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under the vested portion of such Award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment; (ii) to provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and/or applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Committee; (iii) to make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards (including to provide that performance based Awards shall convert to time based Awards upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine); (iv) to replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee; and/or (v) to provide that the Award will terminate and cannot be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.
11.3 Transferability of Awards. Except as provided below, no Award and no Shares that have not been issued or as to which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period has not lapsed, may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Award may be exercised during the life of the Participant only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. To the extent and under such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee, a Participant may assign or transfer an Award without consideration (each transferee thereof, a Permitted Assignee) (i) to the Participant’s spouse, children or grandchildren (including any adopted and step children or grandchildren), parents, grandparents or siblings, (ii) to a trust for the benefit of one or more of the Participant or the persons referred to in clause (i), (iii) to a partnership, limited liability company or corporation in which the Participant or the persons referred to in clause (i) are the only partners, members or shareholders or (iv) for charitable donations; provided that such Permitted Assignee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement relating to the transferred Award and shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing such obligations; and provided further that such Participant shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Company shall cooperate with any Permitted Assignee and the Company’s transfer agent in effectuating any transfer permitted under this Section.
11.4 Termination of Employment or Services. The Committee shall determine and set forth in each Award Agreement whether any Awards granted in such Award Agreement will continue to be exercisable, continue to vest or be earned and the terms of such exercise, vesting or earning, on and after the date that a Participant ceases to be employed by or to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary (including as a Director), whether by reason of death, disability, voluntary or involuntary termination of employment or services, or otherwise. The date of termination of a Participant’s employment or services will be determined by the Committee, which determination will be final.
11.5 Deferral. The Committee shall be authorized to establish procedures pursuant to which the payment of any Award may be deferred.
11.6 Dividend Equivalents. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement, the recipient of an Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may, if so determined by the Committee, be entitled to receive amounts equivalent to cash, stock or other property dividends on Shares (Dividend Equivalents) with respect to the number of Shares covered by the Award, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee may provide that the Dividend Equivalents (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents credited in connection with an Award that vests based on continued employment or service, the achievement of performance goals or a combination thereof shall be subject to such vesting restrictions, performance conditions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents have been credited and shall not be paid unless and until such vesting restrictions, performance conditions and lapse of forfeiture restrictions are satisfied.

MISCELLANEOUS
​
12.1 Award Agreements. Each Award Agreement shall either be (a) in writing in a form approved by the Committee and executed by the Company by an officer duly authorized to act on its behalf, or (b) an electronic notice in a form approved by the Committee and recorded by the Company (or its designee) in an electronic recordkeeping system used for the purpose of tracking one or more types of Awards as the Committee may provide; in each case and if required by the Committee, the Award Agreement shall be executed or otherwise electronically accepted by the recipient of the Award in such form and manner as the Committee may require. The Committee may authorize any officer of the Company to execute any or all Award Agreements on behalf of the Company. The Award Agreement shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the Award as established by the Committee consistent with the provisions of the Plan.
12.2 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to a Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) net of any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld as a result of  (a) the grant of any Award, (b) the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (c) the delivery of Shares or cash, (d) the lapse of any restrictions in connection with any Award or (e) any other event occurring pursuant to the Plan. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise payable to a Participant (or Permitted Assignee) such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Participant (or Permitted Assignee) to pay such withholding taxes. If the Participant (or Permitted Assignee) shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company or its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant (or Permitted Assignee) or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. The Committee shall be authorized to establish procedures for election by Participants (or Permitted Assignee) to satisfy such obligation for the payment of such taxes by tendering previously acquired Shares (either actually or by attestation, valued at their then Fair Market Value), or by directing the Company to retain Shares (up to the maximum required tax withholding rate for the Participant (or Permitted Assignee) or such other rate that will not cause an adverse accounting consequence or cost) otherwise deliverable in connection with the Award.
12.3 Right of Discharge Reserved; Claims to Awards. Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any Employee, Director or Consultant the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment or service of  (or to demote or to exclude from future Awards under the Plan) any such Employee, Director or Consultant at any time for any reason. The Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit from an Award granted in the event of termination of an employment or other relationship. No Employee, Director or Consultant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Employees, Directors or Consultants under the Plan.
12.4 Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the terms of Substitute Awards may vary from the terms set forth in the Plan to the extent the Committee deems appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards in substitution for which they are granted.
12.5 Cancellation of Award; Forfeiture of Gain. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
(a) All Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to recoupment in accordance with the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy, as amended from time to time, as required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed) and Section 10D of the Exchange Act or as otherwise required by applicable law. In addition, Awards, including time-vested Awards, are subject to recoupment in accordance with any other recoupment policy adopted by the Company. To the extent such policy requires the repayment of compensation received by an Employee, whether paid pursuant to the Plan or any other plan of compensation maintained in the past or adopted in the future by the Company, by accepting an Award under this Plan a Participant agrees to the repayment of such amounts to the extent required by such policy.
(b) If the Participant, without the consent of the Company, while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary or after termination of such employment or service, violates a non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure covenant or agreement or otherwise engages in activity

TABLE OF CONTENTS
that is in conflict with or adverse to the interest of the Company or any Subsidiary, including in connection with a financial restatement, all as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, then (i) any outstanding, vested or unvested, earned or unearned portion of the Award may, at the Committee’s discretion, be canceled and (ii) the Committee, in its discretion, may require the Participant or other person to whom any payment has been made or Shares or other property have been transferred in connection with the Award to forfeit and pay over to the Company, on demand, all or any portion of the gain (whether or not taxable) realized upon the exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right and the value realized (whether or not taxable) on the vesting or payment of any other Award.
12.6 Stop Transfer Orders. All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
12.7 Nature of Payments. All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services performed or to be performed for the Company or any Subsidiary, division or business unit of the Company or a Subsidiary. Any income or gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan constitutes a special incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be taken into account, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any Subsidiary except as may be determined by the Committee or by the Board or board of directors of the applicable Subsidiary (or as may be required by the terms of such plan).
12.8 Other Plans. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
12.9 Severability. The provisions of the Plan shall be deemed severable. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of change in a law or regulation, such provision shall (a) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental regulatory agency, or impermissible under the rules of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed, such unlawfulness, invalidity, unenforceability or impermissibility shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or impermissible, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or impermissibility shall not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or impermissible and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or impermissible shall be made or provided under the Plan.
12.10 Construction. As used in the Plan, the words “include” and “including” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
12.11 Unfunded Status of the Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.
12.12 Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws, and construed accordingly.
12.13 Effective Date of Plan; Termination of Plan. The Plan shall be effective on the date of the original approval of the Plan by the holders of the shares entitled to vote at a duly constituted meeting of the
Boise Cascade Company 2025 Proxy Statement| A-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS
stockholders of the Company. The Plan shall continue in effect until the earlier of its termination by the Board or the Committee or the date on which all of the Shares available for issuance under the Plan have been issued and all restrictions on such Shares under the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreements have lapsed. However, all Incentive Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards shall be granted, if at all, within ten (10) years from the earlier of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or the Committee or the date the Plan is duly approved by the stockholders of the Company. For purposes of the previous sentence, the amendment and restatement of the Plan approved at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and any amendment to the Plan that constitutes the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 422 of the Code shall be considered the Plan.
12.14 Foreign Employees and Consultants. Awards may be granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed or providing services outside the United States, or both, on such terms and conditions different from those applicable to Awards to Employees or Consultants providing services in the United States as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable in order to recognize differences in local law or tax policy. The Committee also may impose conditions on the exercise or vesting of Awards in order to minimize the Company’s obligation with respect to tax equalization for Employees or Consultants on assignments outside their home country.
12.15 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. This Plan is intended to comply and be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award is intended to be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, except as otherwise determined by the Committee. If the Committee determines that an Award, payment, distribution, deferral election, transaction or any other action or arrangement contemplated by the provisions of the Plan would, if undertaken, cause a Participant to become subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, reserves the right, but shall not be required, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and any Award granted under the Plan so that the Award qualifies for exemption from or compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of  “nonqualified deferred compensation” ​(within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) as a result of such employee’s separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code), to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes thereunder, shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award Agreement) upon expiration of such delay period. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the Company makes no representations that the Awards granted under the Plan shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to Awards granted under the Plan.
12.16 No Registration Rights; No Right to Settle in Cash. The Company has no obligation to register with any governmental body or organization (including, without limitation, the SEC) any of  (a) the offer or issuance of any Award, (b) any Shares issuable upon the exercise of any Award, or (c) the sale of any Shares issued upon exercise of any Award, regardless of whether the Company in fact undertakes to register any of the foregoing. In particular, in the event that any of  (x) any offer or issuance of any Award, (y) any Shares issuable upon exercise of any Award, or (z) the sale of any Shares issued upon exercise of any Award are not registered with any governmental body or organization (including, without limitation, the SEC), the Company will not under any circumstance be required to settle its obligations, if any, under this Plan in cash.
12.17 Data Privacy. As a condition of acceptance of an Award, the Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about the Participant, including the Participant’s name, home address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or any Subsidiary, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, managing, and administering the Plan (the Data).

implementation, management, and administration of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company and its Subsidiaries may each further transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, management, and administration of the Plan. The Participant understands that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant, through participation in the Plan and acceptance of an Award under the Plan, authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Participant understands that the Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, manage, and administer the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view the Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting the Company’s Senior Privacy and Compliance Director or, if required by applicable law, his or her local human resources representative. The Participant understands that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
12.18 Indemnity. To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board and any person to whom the Committee has delegated any of its authority under the Plan shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
