SOLICITATION OF PROXIES AND VOTING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Why am I receiving these materials?
MillerKnoll, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) will hold its 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on October 17, 2022, at 10:30 am eastern time (the “Annual Meeting”). This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card explain the items of business that will be brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting, and are furnished to the shareholders of MillerKnoll, Inc., on or about September 2, 2022, in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting.
What is a proxy?
A proxy is your authorization for someone else to vote your shares for you in the way you want to vote and allows you to be represented at our Annual Meeting if you are unable to attend. When you complete and submit a proxy card, use the automated telephone voting system, or use the internet voting system, you are submitting a proxy.
What is a proxy statement?
A proxy statement is a document the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to explain the matters on which we are asking you to vote at our Annual Meeting by proxy and to disclose certain information that may be helpful to you in deciding how to vote.
Why am I receiving my proxy materials electronically instead of receiving paper copies through the mail?
To support our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we are sending proxy materials primarily online to reduce the amount of paper used, while also reducing costs associated with mailing these materials.
On or about September 2, 2022, we mailed to our shareholders of record (other than those who previously requested electronic delivery) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report online. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instructs you on how to electronically access and review all information contained in this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report, and it provides you with information on voting.
If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail and would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, follow the instructions contained in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials on how to request your materials in printed form on a one-time or an ongoing basis.
Where is this year’s Proxy Statement available electronically?
You may view this year’s Proxy Statement and the 2022 Annual Report electronically by visiting our Investor Relations’ Annual Reports website page at www.millerknoll.com/investor-relations/financials-filings/annual-report.
Who can vote?
Only shareholders of record of our common stock at the close of business on August 19, 2022, can vote at the Annual Meeting. We refer to that date as the Record Date for the meeting. Each shareholder of record has one vote for each share of common stock owned, on each matter presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.
What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a “street name” holder?
If your shares are registered directly in your name on the records of our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are the shareholder of record concerning those shares. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account, by a bank, or by another nominee, then the brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee is considered to be the shareholder of record concerning those shares. However, you still are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are said to be held in “street name.” Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee how to vote their shares. See the How can I vote? section on the following page.
2022 Proxy Statement 1

Table of Contents
How can I vote?
If your shares are held in “street name,” follow the instructions provided by your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. If your shares are registered directly in your name on our records, you can vote in one of four ways:
•Online before the Annual Meeting: Go to www.proxyvote.com and follow the instructions. You may do this at your convenience, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will need to have your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in hand. The deadline for online voting is 11:59 pm eastern time, Sunday, October 16, 2022.
•By Telephone: Call toll-free 1 800 690 6903 and follow the instructions. You may do this at your convenience, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will need to have your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in hand. The deadline for voting by phone is 11:59 pm eastern time, Sunday, October 16, 2022.
•In Writing: If you received a proxy card, complete, sign, and date it and return the proxy card in the return envelope provided with it.
•Online at the Annual Meeting: Log on to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MLKN2022. You will be able to vote electronically and submit questions at this site.
If you submit a proxy to the Company before the Annual Meeting, whether by proxy card, by telephone, or online, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares as you direct. If no instructions are specified, the proxy will be voted for the three directors nominated by the Board of Directors; for the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 3, 2023; and for the non-binding advisory proposal to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.
Can I revoke my proxy?
You may revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised by:
•delivering written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, MillerKnoll, Inc., 855 East Main Avenue, PO Box 302, Zeeland, Michigan 49464-0302;
•submitting another properly completed proxy card that is later dated;
•voting by telephone at a subsequent time;
•voting online at a subsequent time; or
•voting at the Annual Meeting.
If you hold your shares in “street name,” you must vote them in the manner that your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee has prescribed.
How many votes do we need to hold the Annual Meeting?
To carry on the business of the meeting, we must have a quorum. This means that at least a majority of the shares that are outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date must be in attendance at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. Shares are counted as in attendance at the meeting if the shareholder has taken either of the following actions:
•submitted a signed proxy card or other form of proxy (through the telephone or internet), or
•logged into the virtual meeting using their 16-digit control number and voted electronically during the meeting.
On th e Record Date, there were 75,526,187 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Therefore, at least 37,763,094 shares need to be present at the Annual Meeting for a quorum.
2 MillerKnoll, Inc.

Table of Contents
What matters will be voted on at the meeting?
We are asking you to vote on: (i) the election of three directors, each for a term of three years expiring in 2025; (ii) the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 3, 2023; and (iii) a non-binding advisory proposal on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, otherwise known as a “say-on-pay” proposal. We describe these matters more fully in this Proxy Statement.
How many votes are needed for each proposal?
Under the Company’s majority vote standard for the election of directors (included in the Company’s Bylaws and described in more detail below), in order to be elected, a nominee must receive a greater number of votes cast “for” his or her election than the number of votes “withheld” with respect to that director’s election. The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. Because the “say-on-pay” vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board.
The election of directors and the “say-on-pay” vote are considered non-routine matters. Consequently, if your shares are held in “street name,” the broker or other form of record holder cannot vote your shares on these matters unless it has received voting instructions from you.
Abstentions and broker non-votes, if there are any, will not be counted as votes cast but will count for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum is present. So long as a quorum is present, abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect any of the matters presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.
What happens if a nominee is unable to stand for re-election?
The Board may provide for a lesser number of directors or designate a substitute nominee by resolution. In the latter case, shares represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee. Proxies cannot be voted for more than three nominees. We have no reason to believe any nominee will be unable to stand for re-election.
What alternatives do I have in voting on each of the proposals?
Except for the election of directors, you may vote “for,” “against,” or “abstain” on each proposal. In the election of directors, you may vote “for” or “withhold authority to vote for” each nominee.
How can I participate in the virtual Annual Meeting?
You may attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MLKN2022. You will be able to vote electronically and submit questions during the meeting on this site. You will need the 16-digit control number that you received with your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to enter and attend the meeting.
How can I ask questions during the virtual Annual Meeting?
You may submit questions by logging in to the virtual meeting platform at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MLKN2022, entering your 16-digit control number, typing your question into the “Ask a Question” field, and then clicking “Submit.” Questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints. Inappropriate questions, including those not pertinent to the meeting matters, relating to non-public material information, relating to pending litigation, or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting will not be addressed. Any questions pertaining to meeting matters, including those that cannot be answered during the meeting due to time constraints, will be posted online and answered at millerknoll.com/investor-relations.
How can I get technical support during the virtual meeting?
We will have technicians available to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting. For any technical assistance needed while participating in the Annual Meeting, please contact our virtual meeting service provider at 1 855 449 0991 (U.S.) or 1 720 378 5962 (international).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FROM FISCAL 2022
Company Performance
Net sales in fiscal 2022 of $3.95 billion reflected an increase over the prior year of 60.1%. On an organic basis, which adjusts for changes in foreign currency rates along with the impact of the Knoll, Inc. (Knoll) acquisition, net sales increased by 13.6%(1) when compared to last fiscal year. The Knoll acquisition was finalized on July 19, 2021, and contributed $1.19 billion to consolidated net sales for the fiscal year. The Americas Contract segment grew by 11.1%(1) on an organic basis, driven primarily by increased demand as customers implemented return-to-workplace plans after reduced order volume during the COVID-19 pandemic along with a partial increase due to pricing efforts taken throughout the year. Our Global Retail segment saw a 13.0%(1) organic revenue increase over the prior year primarily due to broad growth across the brands and geographies within the segment as well as some benefit from pricing actions. The International Contract segment grew by 23.1%(1) organically, which came from growth across all geographies.
Adjusted gross margin of 34.6%(1) represents a 400-basis point reduction compared to the prior fiscal year. The change in gross margin was primarily driven by inflationary pressures on commodities, freight, and production costs, and by increased labor costs. The decrease in margin was offset in part by price increases implemented at various points throughout the fiscal year. Adjusted operating expenses of $1.14 billion(1) were $435.1 million or 61.7% higher than last fiscal year. Most of the increase is driven by Knoll’s $349 million in expenses for the year. The Company reported GAAP-basis operating profits of $39.8 million for the fiscal year. On an adjusted basis, the Company reported an operating income of $225.7 million(1) or 5.7% operating margin for the fiscal year. Compared to the prior year, this is a decrease of $21.7 million or 430-basis points. Diluted earnings per share for the full year totaled a loss per share of $0.37 compared to an earnings per share of $2.94 last year. On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings per share totaled $1.92(1) in the fiscal year compared to $3.07(1) in fiscal 2021.
We reported a net operating cash outflow of $11.9 million in fiscal 2022. This is a reduction of $344.2 million from the prior year, driven by a combination of lower earnings and an investment in working capital. Capital expenditures for the year totaled $94.7 million and the Company paid $54.5 million in dividends. In addition, the acquisition of Knoll resulted in a cash outflow, net of cash acquired, of $1.09 billion which was financed through a combination of new borrowings and existing cash. The Company ended the fiscal year with a cash position of $230.3 million.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS
Board Governance Guidelines
Our Board of Directors is committed to sound and effective corporate governance practices, ethical conduct, and strong oversight of key topics such as enterprise risk management, executive compensation, and cyber security, among others. These practices reflect the Board’s long-standing philosophy that a proper structure, appropriate policies and procedures, and reflective cultural factors provide the cornerstone to good governance. The Board documented those practices by adopting our Board Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”). These Guidelines address director responsibilities, the composition of the Board, required Board meetings and materials, and other corporate governance matters. Under the Guidelines, a majority of the members of our Board must qualify as “independent” under the Nasdaq listing rules. Our Guidelines also require the Board to have, among other committees, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, and that each member of those committees qualifies as an independent director under the Nasdaq listing standards. Our Guidelines are available for review on our website at www.millerknoll.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/governance-guidelines.
Leadership Structure
The Guidelines, with respect to the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairperson, state that the Board believes the roles of CEO and Chairperson should normally be separated. If the positions are combined, however, the Board will closely monitor the performance and working relationship between the CEO/Chairperson and the Board. In addition, if the positions are combined, the Board will establish a Lead Director who is an independent director, has appropriate authority and duties who will act as a liaison between directors and the CEO/Chairperson and who chairs meetings of the independent directors. Consistent with our Guidelines, the roles of CEO and Chairperson are currently separate. Mr. Volkema currently serves as Chairman of the Board. As Mr. Volkema is not an employee of the Company, he serves as a non-executive Chairman.
Director Independence
As required by our Guidelines, our Board has determined that each of our directors, other than Ms. Owen, qualifies as an “independent director,” as defined in the Nasdaq listing rules, and that none of those independent directors has a material relationship with the Company. The Board’s determination was made as a result of its review of a summary of completed individual questionnaires addressing the nature and extent of each member’s relationship with the Company and taking into consideration the definition of “independent director” under the Nasdaq rules. Our Board also determined that each member of the Audit Committee, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, and Compensation Committee meets the independence requirements applicable to those committees as prescribed by the Nasdaq listing rules and, as to the Audit Committee, the applicable rules of the SEC.
Board Tenure
On average, our directors have 11.5 years of tenure on the Board.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The Company’s management annually engages in an enterprise risk management process, the key output of which is a series of risk matrices intended to identify and categorize strategic risks. The matrices also identify (1) those members of senior management who are responsible for monitoring each major risk and (2) whether that risk is reviewed by the Board or a committee of the Board. The development of the matrices is facilitated by our Business Risk Group (the internal audit function of the Company), through discussions with senior management. Management and the Business Risk Group annually review and discuss the (1) risk assessment process, (2) top enterprise risks, and (3) mitigation plans to address the top enterprise risks with the Audit Committee and full Board, as appropriate.
During the past fiscal year, our independent compensation consultant, Pay Governance, reviewed our compensation policies and practices to determine if those policies or practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company. The Business Risk Group reviewed and agreed with Pay Governance’s report and confirmed the results with the Audit Committee in April 2022. In conducting its review of the compensation plans, the Audit Committee considered both the structure of the compensation plans and the presence of risk-mitigating features such as caps, multi-year earning requirements, vesting provisions, and clawback provisions. Based on the evaluation, the Audit Committee agreed with management’s determination that our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to create a material adverse impact on the Company.
Under the Guidelines, the Board of Directors is responsible for evaluating CEO performance, monitoring succession planning, reviewing the Company’s major financial objectives, evaluating whether the business is being properly managed, and overseeing the processes for maintaining the integrity of the Company with respect to our financial statements, public disclosures, and compliance with laws. The Board has delegated the primary oversight for managing the risk with respect to some of these responsibilities to various Board committees as described in the committee charters.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all our employees, officers, and directors. It also serves as the code of ethics for our CEO and senior financial officers. This code is posted on our website at https://www.millerknoll.com/legal/code-of-business-conduct-and-ethics. Any changes to or waivers of the code involving any financial officer, executive officer or member of our Board must be approved by the Board of Directors or the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Board. If we are required by SEC rules to publicly disclose any such changes or waivers, we intend to do so on our website, millerknoll.com/investor-relations. The code was last materially modified in July 2021. The code is reviewed annually; there were no modifications to, or waivers of, the code in fiscal 2022. The code meets the requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules.

Table of Contents
Meeting Attendance
Each of our directors is expected to attend all meetings of the Board and applicable Committee meetings. Directors are encouraged to join the webcast for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and all of our then-current directors did so for our 2021 Annual Meeting. During fiscal 2022, the Board held four meetings; each director attended more than 90% of the aggregate number of meetings of our Board and the Board Committees on which they served. Consistent with the requirements of our Guidelines, the independent members of our Board met in executive sessions without the presence of management after each regularly scheduled Board meeting.
Communications with the Board
Shareholders and other parties interested in communicating directly with one or more of our directors may do so by writing to Corporate Secretary of the Company, MillerKnoll, Inc., 855 East Main Avenue, PO Box 302, Zeeland, Michigan 49464-0302. The Corporate Secretary will forward all relevant correspondence to the director or directors to whom the communication is directed.
Director Nominations
Our Bylaws contain certain procedural requirements applicable to shareholder nominations of directors. Shareholders may nominate a person to serve as a director if they provide written notice to us no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and no later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. With respect to any special meeting of shareholders, written notice must be provided no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which the meeting is first publicly announced or, if there is no announcement, the 10th day following the date on which the notice of that meeting was first sent to our shareholders. The notice must include (1) the name and address of the shareholder providing notice and of the person or persons nominated, including information on the securities of the Company held by those individuals, including any derivative securities, the details of which are set forth in our Bylaws; (2) a representation that the shareholder is a current record holder and will continue to hold those shares through the date of the meeting and intends to attend the meeting in person or by proxy; (3) for each proposed nominee, (a) all information relating to that person that would be required to be disclosed in a Proxy Statement required to be made in connection with solicitations or proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including that person’s written consent to be named in the Proxy Statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected) and (b) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary arrangements existing during the past three years, as well as any other material relationships between or among the shareholders (and beneficial owner, if any) and their respective affiliates and associates and the proposed nominee and his or her respective affiliates and associates, including all information required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 under Regulation S-K; and (4) the completed and signed questionnaire from each nominee with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made.
Our Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee is responsible for reviewing the qualifications and independence of the members of the Board. To meet the needs of the Company in a rapidly changing environment, the Guidelines explain that the Company requires a high-performance Board of Directors whose members subscribe to our values and meet the specific resource needs of the business. To that end, the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee considers a number of factors it deems appropriate when considering candidates for the Board. Such factors may include experience and knowledge of the Company’s history and culture; technical experience and backgrounds such as manufacturing, design, marketing, technology, finance, management structure, and philosophy; experience as a senior executive of a public company; and diversity. The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee may also consider experience in a variety of industries in annually assessing and reviewing the current slate of directors and potential director candidates as the need arises. The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee is responsible for assessing the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members. These factors, and others as considered useful by the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee or the Board, are reviewed in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at a particular point in time.
A shareholder may also make a recommendation to the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee regarding any individual that the shareholder desires the Committee to consider for possible nomination as a candidate for election

Table of Contents
to the Board. The Board evaluates all candidates, including those that shareholders recommend, in the same manner and under the same standards.
Under our Bylaws and Governance Guidelines, no person may be elected as a director after he or she attains age 72, and a director who attains age 72 while in office is required to tender his or her written resignation, which resignation shall be effective as of (or no later than) the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which or immediately after which such person attains age 72.
Director Compensation
In October 2021, the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee performed its annual review of the Compensation and Benefits Plan for Non-employee Officers, Directors and Chairperson. The responsibility of the board members increased in fiscal 2022 as a result of the acquisition of Knoll, Inc. The Committee retained Pay Governance LLC as its independent compensation consultants with respect to compensation matters and was advised that annual board compensation was below the peer group defined in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) section, as well as below the industry’s general median. As a result, the compensation of directors was adjusted as described below.
The Director Compensation for Fiscal 2022 table, on the next page, provides information on the compensation of each director for fiscal 2022. The standard annual compensation of each director is $230,000. The Audit Committee Chair receives an additional $20,000, and the Chairs of the Compensation Committee and the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee each receive an additional $15,000. The Chairperson of the Board of Directors receives additional annual compensation of $120,000 and is eligible to participate in the Company’s health insurance plan. Ms. Owen, the Company’s President and CEO, does not receive any additional compensation for serving on the Board of Directors.
The annual compensation and any chairperson fees or additional fees (collectively, the “Annual Fee”) is payable by one or more of the following means, as selected by each director: (1) in cash, (2) in shares of our stock valued as of January 15 of each year, (3) as credit under the Director Deferred Compensation Plan described on the next page, (4) in stock options valued as of January 15 of each year under the Black-Scholes model, or (5) as a contribution to our company employee scholarship fund. Beginning in January 2022, not less than 50 percent of each director’s Annual Fee must be elected in one or more of the permissible forms of equity.
Stock Compensation Plan
Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase shares of our stock if they elect to receive their compensation in stock options. Subject to certain exceptions, options are not exercisable prior to the first anniversary of the award date and expire 10 years after the date of the grant. The option price is payable upon exercise in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of our stock already owned by the optionee or in a combination of shares and cash.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We also maintain the MillerKnoll, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan which permits participants to defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her annual director fees in either a deferred cash account or in a deferred stock account.
In the deferred cash account, each account is credited with a number of units equal to a number of shares of the investment selected by the director in certain investment options which do not include Company stock. The initial value of the deferral is equal to the dollar amount of the deferral, divided by the per share fair market value of the selected investment at the time of the deferral. The units are credited with any dividends paid on the investment. The Company maintains a “rabbi trust” to fund its obligations under this plan.
In the deferred stock account, deferred stock units are credited to the director with each unit representing one equivalent share of the Company’s common stock to be issued after the deferral period. The deferred stock units are valued at the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the value of the units credited are expensed on the date of grant. Each time a dividend is paid on the Company’s common stock, the director is credited with additional deferred stock units in proportion to the amount of the dividend. At the time(s) specified by the director for receipt of this
2022 Proxy Statement 9

Table of Contents
deferred compensation, these deferred amounts will be paid to the director in shares of the Company’s common stock. The units do not entitle the directors to the rights of holders of common stock, such as voting rights, until shares are issued.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Director stock ownership guidelines have been in effect since 1997. These guidelines, like those applicable to management, are intended to reinforce the importance of linking shareholder and director interests. It is the policy of the Board that all directors, consistent with their responsibilities to our shareholders, hold an equity interest in the Company. Toward this end, the Board requires that each director have an equity interest after one year on the Board, and the Board encourages each director within five years after joining the Board to have shares of common stock or options for common stock of the company with a value of at least two times the annual retainer paid to each director.
Other
Directors are reimbursed for travel and other necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of their services for the Company, and they are covered under our business travel insurance policies and the Director and Officer Liability Insurance Policy.
Perquisites
Some directors’ spouses or partners accompany them to Board meetings. The Company pays for their expenses, as well as some amenities for the directors and their spouses or partners, including some meals and social events. The total of these perquisites is less than $10,000 per director. Directors are approved to purchase company products under employee discount pricing. The value of this perquisite was less than $10,000 for all directors.

(1)Amounts shown include those amounts that may be deferred under the MillerKnoll, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the plan, amounts deferred are retained as units associated with hypothetical investments under the plan. The plan permits non-employee directors to elect to defer amounts that they would otherwise receive as director fees. Directors at the time of deferral elect the deferral period. These amounts may also reflect contributions to the MillerKnoll Scholarship fund which awards college scholarships to children of associates. During fiscal 2022, eight of the directors contributed a portion of their annual fees to the fund.
(2)Amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of the Company has nominated Lisa A. Kro, Michael C. Smith, and Michael A. Volkema for election as directors to serve three-year terms expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting. The three nominees are incumbent directors, previously elected by our shareholders. The Board approved each of the nominees following the recommendation of our Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee.
More information about the nominees, as well as directors who will continue in office following the Annual Meeting, is below. Unless otherwise directed by a shareholder’s proxy, the persons named as proxy holders in the accompanying proxy will vote for the nominees named above. If any of the nominees becomes unavailable, which we do not anticipate, then the Board of Directors may designate substitute nominees at its discretion, in which event your proxy will be voted for such substituted nominees unless you have withheld authority to vote for directors. Shares cannot be voted for a greater number of people than the number of nominees named.
Our Bylaws provide that each director will be elected by the majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election at any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, other than a contested election. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes “withheld” with respect to that director’s election. In a contested election, each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election at the meeting. An election is considered contested if the number of persons properly nominated to serve as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected at that meeting.
In an uncontested election of directors, any nominee for director who is already serving as a director and receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” his or her election (a “Majority Against Vote”) is required to promptly tender his or her offer of resignation. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast either “for” or “withheld” with respect to that director’s election. The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Board will then promptly consider the offer of resignation submitted by a director receiving a majority against vote, and that Committee will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the tendered offer of resignation or whether other action is recommended.
The Board must act on the tendered offer of resignation no later than 90 days following the certification of the shareholder vote for the meeting at which the election occurred. In considering the Committee’s recommendation, the Board will consider the factors presented by the Committee and such additional information and factors the Board believes to be relevant. The Company will promptly publicly disclose the Board’s decision on whether to accept the resignation as tendered, including a full explanation of the process by which the decision was reached and the reasons for the Board’s decision. Any director who tenders a resignation pursuant to those procedures may not participate in the Committee recommendation or the Board consideration regarding whether to accept the tendered resignation.
The Board of Directors currently consists of 11 directors, ten of whom are independent. In accordance with our Bylaws, Mary Vermeer Andringa will retire from the Board as of the date of this year’s Annual Meeting. At that time, the Board size will be reduced to 10 members. Ms. Andringa has served the Company with great commitment, unique insight, and full engagement since 1999. The Company is profoundly grateful for the various roles she has held while serving on the Board and the many lives she impacted during her tenure with MillerKnoll. The maximum number of directors for the Board is 13. Our Bylaws require that directors be divided into three classes, each class to be as nearly equal in number as possible. Members of each class hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their removal or resignation.

| The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the nominees to serve as directors. |

Certain information with respect to the nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, as well as for each of the other directors (other than Ms. Vermeer Andringa), is included on the following pages, including their names, ages, a brief description of their recent business experience (including present occupations and employment), certain directorships that each person held during the last five years, and the year in which each person became a director of the Company.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
Our Audit Committee’s purpose is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company; the audits of our financial statements and Management’s assessment of internal controls; the qualifications of the public accounting firm engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and the performance of our internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm. The Committee’s function is more fully described in its charter, which the Board has adopted and is available on our website at https://millerknoll.gcs-web.com/2022-audit-committee-charter. The Committee reviews the charter on an annual basis. The Board annually reviews the Nasdaq listing rules definition of independence for Audit Committee members and has determined that each member of the Committee meets that standard.
Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws, and regulations. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, LLP is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). KPMG, LLP is also responsible for auditing and providing an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
The Audit Committee of the MillerKnoll, Inc. Board of Directors (“Committee” or “we”) has reviewed and discussed with Management and KPMG, LLP the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended May 28, 2022, Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, and KPMG, LLP’s evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting.
The Committee has discussed with KPMG, LLP the results of the independent auditors’ examinations and the judgments of the independent auditors concerning the quality, as well as the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters that we are required to discuss with the independent auditors under applicable rules, regulations, or generally accepted auditing standards, including the matters required to be discussed by applicable rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). We have also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG, LLP per the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG, LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee around independence and we have discussed with KPMG, LLP their independence including a consideration of the compatibility of non-audit services with their independence.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Form 10-K Report for the year ended May 28, 2022, and we selected KPMG, LLP as the independent auditor for fiscal 2023.

PROPOSAL 3 - ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Consistent with our Board’s recommendation, as approved by our shareholders and as required pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we allow our shareholders the opportunity to vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers on an advisory and annual basis, the “say-on-pay” proposal. Thus, you are asked to vote upon the following resolution at this year’s Annual Meeting.
The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has considered the results of the 2021 advisory vote on executive compensation in which more than 90% of the votes cast were voted for the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in the 2021 Proxy Statement. Consistent with those voting results, the Committee believes that the total compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, is fair and appropriate and should be approved by our shareholders. The compensation of the Named Executive Officers is designed to vary with the results of the business and reward consistent improvement in the results delivered to shareholders. The incentive compensation each executive earns each year is directly tied to our financial and operational performance against the criteria approved by the Committee and Board. The Committee believes that the compensation paid to each Named Executive Officer, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, is appropriate in light of the Company’s and each officer’s performance during the fiscal year. In addition, each of the elements of compensation, and the total compensation opportunity at target for each officer, has been benchmarked against comparable positions in the competitive market.
Shareholders are being asked to approve the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for this Annual Meeting pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the compensation tables, and narrative disclosure, is hereby APPROVED.”

Executive Summary
Despite continued challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic challenges, such as supply chain constraints, in fiscal 2022 we made significant strategic, financial, and organizational progress that builds upon an already strong Company foundation and that we anticipate will help further drive shareholder value creation in the coming years. Key highlights include the following:
Strategic We began fiscal 2022 by completing our acquisition of Knoll, Inc., (“Knoll”) and in November 2022 changed the Company name to MillerKnoll, Inc. (“MillerKnoll”), the preeminent leader in modern design. The acquisition increased both our reach and ability to better serve customers across the contract furnishings sector, residential trade segment, and retail audience. In addition, MillerKnoll is well positioned to enhance engagement with architects and interior designers, who support decision-making for both Contract and Retail customers. Our go-forward strategy is now centered around five priorities:
•Bring MillerKnoll to life.
•Build a customer-centric, digitally enabled business model.
•Accelerate profitable growth.
•Attract, develop and retain world-class talent.
•Reinforce our commitment to our people, our planet, and our communities.
Financial In fiscal 2022 we delivered a year-over-year increase in net sales, but experienced a decrease in profitability due to sustained supply chain constraints as shown below:
•Net sales of $3.95 billion, an increase of 13.6%(2) on an organic basis versus fiscal 2021.
•Adjusted gross margin of 34.6%,(2) a decrease of 400 basis points from fiscal 2021.
•Adjusted operating income of $225.7 million,(2) this is a decrease of 430-basis points from fiscal 2021.
Operational Throughout the last year, our company continued operational progress in the following areas while contending with macroeconomic environment uncertainty, supply chain challenges, labor shortages and inflation:
•As mitigation efforts around the challenging supply chain environment have taken hold, lead times and reliability have returned to normal levels for almost all products and geographies.
(2) Non-GAAP measurements; see accompanying reconciliations and explanations.
22 MillerKnoll, Inc.

Table of Contents
•We began our integration of Knoll by developing a strategic plan that has served us well over the past year. We are on track and remain confident we will deliver on our target of $120 million of run-rate cost synergies within three years of closing of the Knoll acquisition.
•A critical milestone in our integration process was reached on June 1, 2022, when we launched our MillerKnoll sales and dealer network in North America.
•We held our first MillerKnoll Design Days in Chicago with more than a dozen new product launches across our collective of brands, including new task seating from both Herman Miller and Knoll, new textiles from Maharam and Knoll Textiles, and a new Sit-to-Stand desk from Geiger. In addition, Knoll presented new collections for 2022 at Salone del Mobile, including products by Antonio Citterio and Piero Lissoni alongside modern classics by exceptional architects and designers, such as Florence Knoll, Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen and Warren Platner.
•Core to MillerKnoll is our commitment to our people, our planet, and our communities, and in the fourth quarter, we introduced our 2030 sustainability goals. These goals are shared across our collective of brands and are targeted at reducing our carbon footprint, designing out waste, and sourcing more sustainable materials.

Compensation Philosophy and Executive Compensation Program Overview
Compensation Philosophy
Our compensation philosophy, as approved by the Committee, is to reward our executives for meeting financial and operational goals that ultimately lead to creating shareholder value. We have designed our compensation program to provide executive officers with target compensation levels that generally reflect median market compensation rates for their position based upon data that our independent compensation consultant provides (as further described in the sections titled Role of Market Data and Compensation Peer Group). Consistent with this philosophy, the key objectives of our executive compensation program are to:
•Link a material portion of executive officers’ total annual compensation directly to the Company’s performance.
•Reinforce our commitment to our people, planet, and communities.
•Align the interests of executive officers with the long-term interests of shareholders.
•Attract, motivate, and retain executive officers of outstanding ability.
Executive Compensation Program Overview
Our executive compensation program is comprised of five primary components. The following table provides an overview of each element of our fiscal 2022 compensation program for our NEOs:

Element | Description | Metrics / Vehicles for Fiscal 2022
Base Salary | Fixed element of cash compensation determined by the external market data, positions at a similar level within the Company, and incumbent experience, performance and scope of responsibilities | —
Annual Incentive | Variable element of cash compensation. NEOs, consistent with other salaried employees, have the opportunity to earn an annual incentive payout pursuant to the Annual Executive Incentive Cash Bonus Plan (AIP) based upon performance against predetermined goals during the fiscal year | Adjusted operating income (AOI)
Long-Term Incentives | Equity-based component of compensation that is denominated in performance share units (PSUs), stock options and restricted share units (RSUs). Long-term incentives encourage long-term strategic thinking and decision-making while also promoting ownership in the Company and alignment with shareholders | PSUs (50% weighting) •40% Revenue •40% AOI •20% Corporate scorecard Stock options (25% weighting) RSUs (25% weighting)
Benefits | We maintain retirement plans along with health insurance plans available to full-time and most part-time employees | —
Other Executive Plans and Perquisites | NEOs and other eligible employees may participate in our deferred compensation plan and our executive long-term disability plan and are allowed to obtain a comprehensive physical at our cost. Additionally, Ms. Owen is provided 35 hours of personal aircraft usage | —

Role of Market Data and Compensation Peer Group
Role of Market Data
The Compensation Committee, with assistance from its independent compensation consultant Pay Governance, annually reviews competitive market data to assist with evaluating our executive compensation program and individual NEO compensation levels.
24 MillerKnoll, Inc.

Table of Contents
Pay Governance utilized compensation peer group data (the following section Compensation Peer Group provides additional information), along with compensation data from the following survey sources, when analyzing the market competitiveness of our executive pay levels: Willis Towers Watson Executive Compensation Database and Aon Hewitt Executive Total Compensation Measurement Database (we refer to the compensation peer group data and the survey data collectively as “market data”). The market data is size-adjusted to reflect companies/operations with revenues similar to the related MillerKnoll scope of operations. Pay Governance compared pay elements on an individual basis and in total salary, target total cash, and target total direct compensation of each executive officer to the market data for a comparable benchmark position.
Compensation Peer Group
The Committee reviews the composition of the compensation peer group on an annual basis and approves adjustments to ensure the group remains appropriate. The criteria used to develop the compensation peer group is a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors:

Factor Type | Description
Quantitative | •Company type (publicly traded) •Geographic locations (U.S.-based) •Industry •Financials
Qualitative | •Business dynamics •Key business and/or talent competitor to MillerKnoll •Inclusion in external peer group(s) •Recent financial performance •Geographic revenue mix

As a result of the Knoll acquisition and corresponding increase in the size and scope of the Company, the following changes to the peer group were approved by the Committee:
•Removals: Ethan Allen Interiors Inc.; Interface, Inc.; Kimball International, Inc.; and Knoll, Inc.
•Additions: Bed, Bath & Beyond Inc. and Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc.
The compensation peer group used for fiscal 2022 as approved by the Committee is set forth below:

American Woodmark Corporation | La-Z-Boy Incorporated | Steelcase, Inc.
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. | Leggett & Platt, Incorporated | Tempur Sealy International, Inc.
Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. | Masonite International Corporation | UFP Industries, Inc.
Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. | RH | Wayfair, Inc.
HNI Corporation | Sleep Number Corporation | Williams-Sonoma, Inc.
JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. |  |

Roles and Responsibilities in Setting Executive Officer Compensation
Compensation Committee
The Committee consists of three directors, each qualifying as independent under Nasdaq’s listing requirements. The Board has determined that each member of the Committee also meets the definition of independence under our corporate governance guidelines and qualifies as a non-employee director for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The role of the Committee is to:
•Review and recommend the compensation of the Company’s CEO to the Board.
•Review and approve the compensation of the Company’s executive officers (except for the CEO).
2022 Proxy Statement 25

Table of Contents
•Act as the administrative committee for the Company’s annual cash incentive and equity-based compensation plans and such other plans as may be designated by the Board.
•Perform all other duties and responsibilities set forth in its charter or as delegated to it by the Board.
Compensation Consultant
The Committee selects and retains the services of its own independent compensation consultant and annually reviews the performance of the consultant. As part of the review process, the Compensation Committee considers the independence of the consultant in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq rules.
During fiscal 2022, Pay Governance, provided no services to MillerKnoll other than services for the Committee, and worked with MillerKnoll management, as directed by the Committee, only on matters for which the Committee is responsible.
At the Committee’s request, Pay Governance regularly attends Committee meetings. Pay Governance also communicates with the Committee or the Chair of the Committee outside committee meetings regarding matters related to the Committee’s responsibilities.
Chief Executive Officer
At the Committee’s request, Ms. Owen works with other executives to recommend performance goals for the AIP and the PSU component of the long-term incentive (LTI) program; these goals are reviewed and approved by the Committee. Additionally, Ms. Owen reviews the performance of her direct reports (including the NEOs other than herself) and makes recommendations to the Committee with respect to their compensation.
Fiscal 2022 Compensation Program
Fiscal 2022 Compensation Actions for NEOs
Consistent with our compensation philosophy, the Committee or, in the case of the CEO, the Board approved the following compensation actions for the NEOs.
Base Salaries
Base salary is a customary, fixed element of compensation intended to attract and retain executives. When setting the annual base salaries of our NEOs, the Committee considers market data provided by its independent compensation consultant, internal pay equity, and MillerKnoll’s financial performance and size relative to peer companies. Base salaries for each NEO are set forth below:

Name |  | Base Salary 2022 ($)(1)
Andi R. Owen |  | 1,100,000 |
Jeffrey M. Stutz |  | 560,000 |
Christopher M. Baldwin |  | 561,000 |
John P. Michael |  | 510,000 |
Debbie F. Propst |  | 560,000 |

(1) Reflects annualized salary.
Annual Incentive Plan
The AIP is our annual cash incentive program that covers all non-sales incented employees. For fiscal year 2022, adjusted operating income (AOI) served as the sole performance metric in the AIP.
As a result of the continued uncertainty in our business and ongoing supply chain constraints, while also desiring to retain an objective measure of financial performance, the Committee approved semiannual performance goals for the AIP. Performance goals were set at the beginning of each performance period first-half (1H) and second-half (2H), with a payout for each only occurring after the completion of the full fiscal year and the Committee’s approval of the results. Additional details on AIP goals and payouts are presented in the tables on the following page.

(1) Mr. Baldwin became eligible for a prorated portion of the 2H 2022 AIP beginning January 1, 2022.
Long-Term Incentives
For each executive officer, the Committee approves a target LTI award value and determines the mix of LTI vehicles to deliver that award. We convert that value for each NEO into grants with award types weighted as shown below.

Award Types | Weighting for Fiscal 2022
PSUs | 50%
Stock Options | 25%
RSUs | 25%

The table below illustrates the target value of the LTI grants that the Committee (or in the case of our CEO, the Board) approved for fiscal 2022.

(1) Ms. Owen’s target LTI award value is a specific value not calculated as a percentage of base salary.
2022 Proxy Statement 27

Table of Contents
PSU payout opportunity for those granted in fiscal year 2022 is based on two financial metrics and a non-financial strategic scorecard, all with weighting as shown below:
For fiscal 2022, performance for each metric is measured over a three-year period, all of which are ineligible to vest until completion of the full three-year period and subject to modification based on our relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance.
The relative TSR modifier provides for a 25% increase to the earned PSUs if our relative TSR performance is at or above the 75th percentile of our TSR peer group (subject to an overall maximum of award equal to 200% of target) or a 25% decrease to the PSUs earned if our relative TSR performance is below the 25th percentile of our TSR peer group.
The TSR peer group focuses on key competitors, companies in appropriately adjacent industries, companies with similar business drivers and other companies with similar business cycles to the Company. The TSR peer group for the fiscal 2022 PSU award is as follows:

American Woodmark Corporation | Kimball International, Inc. | Sleep Number Corporation
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. | La-Z-Boy, Inc. | Steelcase, Inc.
HNI Corporation | Leggett & Platt, Inc. | Tempur Sealy International, Inc.
Interface, Inc. | Masonite International Corporation | UFP Industries, Inc.
JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. | RH | Williams-Sonoma, Inc.

RSUs represent the right to receive shares of MillerKnoll common stock. Each unit represents the equivalent of one share of common stock as of the date of grant and vests on August 1st for the next three years with the following schedule: 25%, 25% and 50%. RSUs convert into shares upon vesting. Dividends are not paid over the vesting period but accrue on the RSUs and are added to the total value of the units at the time of vesting.
Stock options provide the opportunity to recognize value only if the share price appreciates above the price on the date of grant. Our stock options vest ratably over three years (one-third per year), creating a multi-year alignment between option recipients and shareholders and motivating participants to implement and achieve financial and operational goals that will lead to a growth in share price over a long period of time.

PSUs Earned for Fiscal 2020 to Fiscal 2022 Performance Cycle
Revenue and AOI performance for the 2020 PSUs (fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2022 performance cycle) was below threshold; therefore, none of these PSUs granted in fiscal 2020 were earned or vested for any of the NEOs.
Compensation Program Changes for Fiscal 2023
The Committee approved the following compensation programs changes for fiscal 2023:

Program | Change | Rationale
AIP | •Reverted to one-year AOI goals. | •The Committee and management prefer an annual goal to better reflect the Company’s budgeting and planning, including a robust discussion of potential disruptors (e.g. supply chain, commodity costs).
LTIP | •Increased the weighting of the PSU financial metrics from 80% to 90% (45% AOI and 45% revenue). •Reduced the weighting of the PSU nonfinancial metrics from 20% to 10%. •Reduced the number of non-financial metrics from four to two (Employee engagement and diversity, equity, and inclusion). •Grant premium-priced options to the CEO. | •The Committee and management determined to increase the emphasis on long-term financial performance and reduce the impact of these non-financial metrics in our long-term incentive program while continuing to emphasize the importance of, and our commitment to, ESG as part of our mission and operations. •The Committee and management elected to focus our non-financial PSU metrics on quantitative goals that directly impact our people. •The Committee and the Board desired to provide our CEO with a competitive pay opportunity that is aligned with the leadership team but that also creates additional emphasis on growing our share price.

Retirement Plans and Health Benefits
Retirement Plans
We maintain broad-based retirement plans, available for employees in the United States, with one plan covering the majority of our employees. Our retirement plans are designed to provide an appropriate level of replacement income upon retirement. The benefits available to NEOs are the same as those available to other non-executive employees in their respective geographic region, subject to limitations provided by law or regulation. The primary retirement plan, covering most U.S.-based employees, including the NEOs is:
•The MillerKnoll, Inc. Retirement Plan consists of two parts. First, we make a core contribution to an employee’s 401(k) account equal to 4% of base salary, on a quarterly basis. The amount of salary included in the calculation is limited to the maximum salary level permitted by the IRS. Second, the 401(k) portion of the plan permits employees to make salary deferrals into the plan up to the maximum amount permitted by law. We also fully match employee contributions up to 4% of the employee’s compensation contribution.
Health Plans
We maintain a broad base of health insurance plans available to all full-time and qualified part-time employees. The NEOs participate in such health insurance plans on the same terms as all other employees within their respective geographic region or business unit.
Other Executive Plans and Perquisites
Deferred Compensation Plan
The MillerKnoll, Inc. Executive Equalization Retirement Plan was approved by the Committee and the Board in 2007. The plan is a supplemental deferred compensation plan and became available for salary deferrals beginning in January 2008. The plan is available to highly compensated United States employees who are selected for participation by the
2022 Proxy Statement 29

Table of Contents
Committee. All NEOs are currently able to participate. The plan allows participants to defer up to 50% of their base salary and 100% of their annual incentive compensation. Company contributions to the plan mirror the amounts we would have contributed to the MillerKnoll, Inc. Retirement Plan had the employee’s compensation not been above the statutory ceiling (currently $305,000). Investment options under this plan are similar to those available under the Retirement Plan. Company contributions in fiscal 2022 appear in the Summary Compensation Table section within the “All Other Compensation.”
Executive Long-Term Disability Plan
This plan covers 60% of the rolling two-year average of compensation for a qualified disability. Executives, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate after they have received two annual executive incentive payments. This benefit continues as long as the executive remains disabled until age 65. The monthly benefit is capped at $10,000.
Perquisites
In fiscal 2022, we provided for executives, including our NEOs, with the opportunity to obtain a comprehensive physical at our cost. In addition, we provide aircraft usage for the CEO for up to 35 hours per fiscal year for her personal use.
Stock Ownership Guidelines and Stock Retention Requirements
Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Committee believes that significant stock ownership by executives is of critical importance to our ongoing success as it helps link the interests of executives and shareholders. As such, we have established stock ownership guidelines, which apply to the NEOs and executive officers. The stock ownership guidelines require these individuals to own shares of our common stock equal to a specified multiple of their annual base salary. The applicable levels are as follows:

President and Chief Executive Officer | 6x base salary
Executive officers with LTIP target equal to or greater than 100% of salary | 4x base salary
Certain other direct reports to the CEO | 3x base salary

All NEOs are currently in compliance with their applicable stock ownership guideline.
Stock Retention Requirements
Until the ownership guidelines are met, covered executives must retain a certain amount in company stock, equal to 40% of the pretax value of vested restricted stock, PSUs, RSUs, deferred stock, and exercised stock options. Compliance with the requirements is determined each time an executive officer disposes of company stock.
Incentive Clawback
The MillerKnoll Compensation Recovery Policy provides for the recoupment of both cash compensation and equity incentives from executive officers in the event of a restatement and/or improper conduct. The Board may, in its sole discretion, after evaluating the associated costs and benefit, and any other factors it deems relevant, seek to recover all or any portion of the recoverable incentive paid to any such executive officer during the applicable period.
Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy
The Committee and the Board of Directors have adopted a policy prohibiting the Board of Directors and executive officers from hedging the economic risk of their ownership of our stock, including options or other derivatives related to the stock, and are prohibited from pledging MillerKnoll stock.

Severance Policy and Change in Control Agreements
Severance Policy
The NEOs are generally “at will” employees. This means that they can be discharged at any time and for no reason. We have established a severance policy that applies if an executive (including our NEOs) is terminated for reasons other than malfeasance or voluntary separation. For each NEO, severance would be equal to 18 months of base salary subject to the employee not competing with us during that period. The Committee’s determination as to the amount of severance payments for these NEOs is the result of benchmarking our practices to the market data. In addition, we maintain the health insurance on such employee during the salary continuation period. In exchange for such payments, the employee provides the Company with a mutual release of all claims and agrees not to work for a competitor or solicit our employees during the salary continuation period.
Change in Control Agreements
Each NEO is party to a Management Continuity Agreement (referred to as a Change in Control or CIC Agreement) with us that provides for severance benefits in the event of both a change in control and the NEO’s termination of employment (“double-trigger”). The Committee believes the use of change in control agreements is appropriate as they help ensure both a continuity of management during a possible takeover and help ensure that management remains focused on completing a transaction that is likely to maximize shareholder value. Potential payments under the change in control agreements are included in the tally sheets that the Committee reviews annually.
The narrative and footnotes to the tables entitled Potential Payments Upon Termination, Death, Disability, Retirement, or Change in Control describe the change in control payments in greater detail.
Deductibility of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation in excess of $1 million paid for any fiscal year to individuals who are covered executives. All of our NEOs are covered executives for this purpose. As a result, the compensation paid to each of our NEOs for fiscal 2022 in excess of $1 million will not be deductible under Section 162(m).
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Proxy Statement.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The MillerKnoll, Inc. Executive Equalization Retirement Plan allows all United States employees who have compensation above the statutory ceiling to defer income in the same proportion as if the statutory ceiling did not exist. We make contributions to the Plan such that Company contributions mirror the amounts we would have contributed to the Company’s tax-qualified 401(k) plan had the employee’s compensation not been above the statutory ceiling. Distributions from the Plan are paid out in cash based on the deferral election specified by the participant. We do not guarantee a rate of return under the Plan. Instead, participants make investment elections for their deferrals and company contributions. Investment options are the same as those available under our 401(k) plan.
The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table below provides certain information relating to our compensation plan that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.

Potential Payments Upon Termination without Change in Control
•18 months base salary continuation for NEOs if they are terminated for reasons other than cause.
•Maintain health insurance during salary continuation period.
•Employee provides the Company with a release of all claims and agrees not to work for a competitor or solicit employees during the salary continuation period.
Potential Payments Upon Termination in Connection with Change in Control
In fiscal 2022, each NEO was party to a CIC Agreement with the Company that contains “double-trigger” change in control provisions. These provisions state that there must be both a change in control and the employee must incur an actual or constructive termination of employment by us to be entitled to a payment.
A change in control (as defined) occurs if:
•A third party becomes the owner of 35% or more of the Company’s stock,
•A majority of the Board of Directors is composed of persons who are not recommended by the existing Board, or
•Under certain transactions involving a merger or reorganization, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or a liquidation in which the Company does not maintain certain control thresholds.
An executive is entitled to a payment under the CIC Agreement if, within two years after a change in control, if the Company terminates the employment of the executive without cause or for good reason, which is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the following without the executive’s express written consent:
•The executive is assigned duties at any time during the six months prior to the change in control that are materially different from or inconsistent with the duties, responsibilities, and status of the executive’s position or which result in a significant reduction in the executive’s authority and responsibility as an executive within the Company or a subsidiary.
•A reduction in the executive’s base salary, target value of the annual incentive, or target value of the long-term incentive plan awards.
•The Company requires the executive to be based at a location over 50 miles from the facility, that is the executive’s principal business office at the time of the change in control.
•A reduction of 5% or more in the aggregate benefits provided to the executive and their dependents under the Company’s employee benefit plans.
•The failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform the CIC Agreement.
If both triggering events occur, then the NEO is entitled to a change in control payment that consists of:
•A lump sum cash amount equal to the executive’s annual base salary, multiplied by two (or three, in the case of the CEO).
•A lump sum cash amount equal to two (or three, in the case of the CEO) times the greater of (1) the executive’s average bonus over the previous three years or (2) the executive’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which the change of control occurs, plus a prorated amount of executive’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs.
•Healthcare coverage, and life and disability insurance for the 24 (or 36, in the case of the CEO) consecutive month period beginning immediately after the termination date.
•Outplacement services up to a maximum of $25,000.
•All outstanding awards held by executive under the Company’s LTIP shall vest in full as of the termination date. Specific treatment of each award type is summarized in the Vesting of Long-Term Incentive Awards section below.
2022 Proxy Statement 39

Table of Contents
The Company has no obligation to make a “gross-up” payment to the executive officer if the amount of the payments under the change in control agreements is subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
To receive the payments, the NEO is obligated to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the agreement, which include committing the executive to refrain from competing with the Company for a period equal to the number of years of compensation received under the agreement.
Accelerated Vesting Upon Death, Disability, Retirement, or Change in Control
The MillerKnoll, Inc. Executive Equalization Retirement Plan, as described in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation section, contains provisions that permit accelerated vesting upon death, disability, or change in control. In the event of a change in control, the Executive Equalization Retirement Plan provides for the acceleration of payment even if the NEO has not been terminated. The definition of change in control for this plan is the definition contained in Treasury Regulations for Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Vesting of Long-Term Incentive Awards
Change in Control (with a qualifying termination), Death, Disability, Retirement, and Termination without Cause unrelated to a change in control as outlined in the table below:

Long-Term Incentive Vehicle | CIC with a Qualifying Termination | Termination Upon Death and Disability | Qualified Retirement | Termination without Cause Unrelated to CIC
Stock Options | Unvested stock options vest in full. | Unvested stock options are forfeited. Exercise period for vested options will be five years from the date of the event or the remaining life of the option if less. If the executive dies while on disability, the exercise period is the longer of the five-year exercise period or one year after the date of death, not to exceed the remaining life of the option. | Unvested stock options continue to vest. If an executive retires in the first year after the award date, unvested stock options will be prorated as defined by the award agreement. Exercise period for vested options will be five years from the date of retirement. | Unvested stock options are forfeited. Vested options must be exercised within three months following termination or they are forfeited.
RSUs | Unvested RSUs vest in full. | Unvested RSUs vest in full. | Unvested RSUs vest in full. If an executive retires in the first year, unvested RSUs will be prorated as defined by the award agreement. | Unvested RSUs are forfeited.

Target PSUs are prorated for time worked during the performance period with continued vesting. PSUs earned are based on actual performance over the performance period. | Vesting is not accelerated. If an executive retires in the first year, the target PSUs will be prorated as defined by the award agreement. | Vesting is not accelerated. Target PSUs are prorated for time worked during the performance period with continued vesting. PSUs earned are based on actual performance over the performance period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which were approved by our shareholders. For a description of the awards issued under these plans, see Note 10 - Stock-Based Compensation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022. We do not have any equity compensation plans that have not been approved by our shareholders.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, and holders who beneficially own greater than 10% of our common stock, to file certain reports of securities ownership and changes in such ownership with the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established by the SEC, and the Company is required to report any known failure to file by these dates in this Proxy Statement.
To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of the reports filed with the SEC and on written representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, we believe all filings required by our officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of our outstanding common stock were timely filed for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2022, except for the following which were delinquent due to administrative error:
•One Form 3 and one Form 4 for Christopher Baldwin each filed on July 22, 2021, in conjunction with his appointment as an executive officer and to report the conversion of his Knoll equity awards which occurred on July 19, 2021, respectively;
•One Form 4 filed for Richard Scott on November 18, 2021, to report two equity award grants which occurred on July 13, 2021, and vests which occurred on July 16, 2021, and August 1, 2021;
•One Form 3 and one Form 4 for Kartik Shethia each filed on February 8, 2022, in conjunction with his appointment as an executive officer on October 12, 2021, and one vest which occurred on January 14, 2022, respectively; and
•One Form 4 filed for Kevin Veltman on November 18, 2021, to report an equity award grant which occurred on July 13, 2021, the conversion of Knoll shares which occurred on July 19, 2021, and vests which occurred on July 16, 2021, and August 1, 2021.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Board of Directors has adopted a written policy on related party transactions. Under that policy, with certain limited exceptions, all proposed transactions between the Company and any directors or officers or their respective affiliates are required to be reported to the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee.
The policy provides that certain categories of related party transactions are pre-approved, including certain small transactions where the related party is not an executive officer of the other party, employee compensation reported in the Company’s proxy statement or that would be reported if the employee was a named executive officer, director compensation reported in the Company’s proxy statement, transactions based on ownership of the Company’s common stock that are pro rata with all other shareholders, transactions determined by competitive bids, and transactions with terms fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority. The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee review all other proposed transactions. In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction under the policy, the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, (1) whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and (2) the extent of the interest in the transaction. If the transaction involves a director or a nominee for director, the Committee should also consider whether the transaction will impact such individual’s status as an independent director pursuant to applicable SEC and/or Nasdaq rules.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This report contains references to Organic Net Sales, Adjusted Earnings per Share - diluted, Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss), Adjusted Operating Expenses, and Adjusted Gross Margin which are non-GAAP financial measures. Organic Net Sales represents the change in reported Net sales, excluding currency translation effects and the impact of acquisitions. Adjusted Earnings per Share represents reported diluted earnings per share excluding the impact from adjustments related to restructuring expenses, impairments, acquisition and integration charges, and other special charges or gains, including related taxes. Adjusted Operating Earnings represents reported operating earnings plus restructuring expenses, impairments, acquisition and integration charges, and other special charges. Restructuring expenses include actions involving facilities consolidation and optimization, targeted workforce reductions, and costs associated with an early retirement program. Special charges include certain costs arising as a direct result of COVID-19. Adjusted Operating Expenses represents reported operating expenses excluding acquisition and integration charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring expenses and other special charges or gains. Adjusted Gross Margin represents gross margin plus amortization of purchased intangibles and other special charges.
The Company believes presenting these Non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors as it provides financial information on a more comparative basis for the periods presented by excluding items that are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Company.
Organic Net Sales, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Operating Expenses, and Adjusted Gross Margin are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to the related GAAP measurement. These non-GAAP measurements have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing prominence of our GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement.
