Executive Compensation Program

Our compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain executive talent to achieve success in both the short- and long-term for our Company; pay for sustainable performance in an ever-changing environment; and align the interests of our executive officers with our shareholders. We continue to refine our executive compensation program to reflect changes in our business strategy and evolving executive compensation practices.

Executive Compensation Highlights

| • |  | We seek alignment of pay and performance each year. A significant portion of our compensation program is performance-based through the use of our short- and long-term incentive plans that have multiple financial performance metrics.

| • |  | We annually disclose Company performance against the established performance metrics for our annual cash incentive in our proxy statement.

| • |  | Our long-term incentive compensation program consists of restricted stock awards that vest over three years and new performance awards with overlapping three-year performance periods that vest based on our three-year average return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and that settle 50% in shares and 50% in cash. (ROIC is a non-GAAP measure. See discussion of non-GAAP financial measures on page 34).

| • |  | We deliver a significant portion of potential total compensation to our executive officers in the form of equity.

| • |  | We have stock ownership guidelines for our Chief Executive Officer that require an ownership level of five times his annual base salary, three times their annual salaries for corporate executive officers, including Messrs. Gupta and Dobler, and two times their annual salaries for segment presidents, including Messrs. Jewel and T. Johnson. All of our Named Executive Officers are still within the applicable grace period for achieving these ownership levels.

| • |  | We have a “clawback” policy that applies to executive performance-based incentive compensation awards.

| • |  | We have a hedging policy that prohibits all employees and directors from engaging in hedging transactions in our Company’s securities. We also have an anti-pledging policy that prohibits executive officers and directors of the Company from, directly or indirectly, pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise encumbering shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for indebtedness. None of our executive officers have pledged any shares of our common stock as security or collateral on a personal loan.

| • |  | Our “double-trigger” change-in-control agreements do not provide for any excise tax “gross-ups,” and we do not provide any tax “gross-ups” on any benefits for our executive officers.

Fiscal 2022 Executive Compensation Actions

| • |  | Base Salaries. For fiscal 2022, Mr. Silberhorn, our Chief Executive Officer, did not receive a base salary increase. Among our Other Named Executive Officers, Messrs. Gupta, Dobler and Jewell received base salary increases ranging from 1.96% to 2.44%, and Mr. T. Johnson received an increase of 10.29%.

| • |  | Annual Cash Incentive Payouts. Our annual cash incentive awards are designed to reward achievement of financial goals established in our annual operating plan. For Messrs. Silberhorn, Gupta and Dobler the fiscal 2022 annual cash incentive paid out at 103.34% of target and for Messrs. Jewell and T. Johnson the fiscal 2022 annual cash incentive paid out at 57.97% and 165.37% of target, respectively. See “Fiscal 2022 Annual Cash Incentive Payouts” on pages 45 – 46 for a discussion of the metrics, goals and amounts paid to our Named Executive Officers for our annual cash incentive awards in fiscal 2022.

| • |  | Long-Term Incentive Awards. Our long-term incentive program for our Other Named Executive Officers is comprised of: (i) 50% time-based restricted stock awards that vest ratably over three-years; and (ii) 50% performance awards with a three-year performance period, which settle 50% in cash and 50% in stock and are paid out based on the Company’s three-year average ROIC during the performance period. Mr. Silberhorn’s long-term incentive award in fiscal 2022 consisted of 40% time-based restricted stock and 60% as a performance award pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. In fiscal 2022, Mr. Silberhorn received a restricted stock award valued at $799,996 and a performance award with a target payout of $1,199,997 and Messrs. Gupta, Dobler, Jewell and T. Johnson received stock awards with values ranging from $270,009 to $429,016 and performance awards with target payouts ranging from $224,995 to $390,001.

Active Shareholder Engagement Program

Shareholder engagement is a key part of our commitment to good governance. We regularly engage with our shareholders to discuss our business and to gain insights on the issues that are most important to them. In fiscal 2022, we continued our shareholder engagement practices, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, utilizing a combination of in-person and virtual meeting formats to stay connected with our shareholders. During the fiscal year, members of our management team participated in several virtual investor conferences and met with investors in numerous other virtual meetings and conference calls. We also hosted an investor day event where we provided details on our business strategy and long-term financial targets. The feedback from our engagement with investors is regularly shared with our Board of Directors.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, officers and all persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. Section 16(a) officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of Section 16(a) reports filed electronically with the SEC and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all forms required to be filed by such persons under Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis, with the exception of one late filing for Mr. Gupta reporting the withholding of shares as payment of tax liability in connection with vesting of restricted stock.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

Our Articles provide that our Board of Directors will be divided into three classes of directors of as nearly equal size as possible and the term of each class of directors is three years. The term of one class expires each year in rotation. Currently, we have nine directors, with three directors serving in each class. At our Annual Meeting, the terms of our three Class III directors will expire.

Frank G. Heard, Elizabeth M. Lilly and Mark A. Pompa have been nominated for re-election to our Board as Class III directors. Class III directors elected at the Annual Meeting will serve until our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a director, if elected.

If any of the nominees becomes unable or unwilling to serve as a director prior to the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board. Alternatively, at the Board’s discretion, the proxies may be voted for a fewer number of nominees.

Information about the background and qualifications of the Board nominees for election at the Annual Meeting and the directors continuing to serve after the Annual Meeting who are not subject to re-election at the Annual Meeting is provided below.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the three Class III director nominees. Unless a contrary instruction is indicated on the proxy, proxies will be voted FOR the election of the three Class III director nominees.

Certain sections of this Proxy Statement reference or refer you to materials posted on our website, www.apog.com. These materials and our website are not incorporated by reference in, and are not part of this Proxy Statement.

Code of Business Ethics and Conduct

Our Board of Directors has adopted our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct (our “Code of Conduct”), which is a statement of our high standards for ethical behavior and legal compliance. All of our employees and all members of our Board of Directors are required to comply with our Code of Conduct.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines outline the role, composition, qualifications, operation and other policies applicable to our Board of Directors and are revised as necessary to reflect evolving corporate governance practices.

Communications with Our Board of Directors

Our stakeholders may communicate directly with our Board of Directors, our Non-Executive Chair or any other specified individual director in writing by (i) sending a letter addressed to Apogee Directors, Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435, or (ii) sending an email to Directors@apog.com. Substantive communications, such as corporate

19

##### Table of Contents

governance matters or potential issues relating to accounting, internal controls or other auditing matters, are forwarded by our General Counsel to the relevant director(s) as appropriate. Communications not requiring the substantive attention of our Board, such as employment inquiries, sales solicitations, donation requests, questions about our products, and other such matters, are handled directly by our management team.

Director Independence

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a substantial majority of the directors on our Board, and all members of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees (collectively, the “Committees”) must be independent. Each year, in accordance with Nasdaq rules, our Board of Directors affirmatively determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director in accordance with guidelines it has adopted, which include all elements of independence set forth in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed the applicable legal standards for Board member and Board committee member independence and reported on its review to our Board of Directors. Based on this review, our Board of Directors has determined that the following non-employee directors are independent and have no material relationship with the Company except serving as a director and holding shares of our common stock: Christina M. Alvord, Frank G. Heard, Lloyd E. Johnson, Elizabeth M. Lilly, Donald A. Nolan, Herbert K. Parker, Mark A. Pompa and Patricia K. Wagner. Our Board of Directors has determined that Ty R. Silberhorn is not independent because he serves as an officer of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Nolan has served as our Non-Executive Chair since January 2020. The Non-Executive Chair of our Board chairs our annual meeting of shareholders, the meetings of our Board of Directors and executive sessions of our independent directors. In addition, the Non-Executive Chair of our Board, in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, establishes the agenda for each meeting of our Board of Directors. The Non-Executive Chair also attends Committee meetings as an ad hoc member, participates in discussions but does not vote on Committee matters, and serves as the primary liaison between the senior management team and the Board. The Board believes that having a Non-Executive Chair provides independent leadership on the Board and enables our Chief Executive Officer to focus his time and energy on development of strategy, operational improvements and leadership of the management and employee teams. The Board believes that this division of responsibilities serves the Board, the Company and our shareholders well.

Criteria for Membership on Our Board of Directors

Director candidates should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stakeholders; have an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom and mature judgment; and be willing to challenge management in a constructive manner. Our Board of Directors strives for membership that is diverse in gender, race, ethnicity, age, geographic location, and business skills and experience at policy-making levels. In addition, director candidates must be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively, and should be committed to serving on our Board of Directors for an extended period of time.

Procedure for Evaluating Director Nominees

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s procedure for reviewing the qualifications of all nominees for membership on our Board of Directors includes making a preliminary assessment of

20

##### Table of Contents

each proposed nominee, based upon resume and biographical information, willingness to serve and other background information, business experience and leadership skills. Our Board believes that its membership should reflect a diversity of experience, skills, geography, gender, race and ethnicity, and invites directors to annually self-identify certain diversity characteristics that may inform their perspectives and contributions to the Board. The Committee considers each of these factors when evaluating our Board composition, and it considers these factors on an ongoing basis as it identifies and evaluates director candidates. All director candidates who continue in the process are then interviewed by members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and other current directors. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to our Board of Directors for inclusion in the slate of director nominees at a meeting of shareholders, or for appointment by our Board of Directors to fill a vacancy. Prior to recommending a director to stand for re-election for another term, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee applies its director candidate selection criteria, including a director’s past contributions to our Board of Directors, effectiveness as a director and desire to continue to serve as a director.

Board Diversity Matrix

The table below provides self-identified diversity statistics for our Board members as of April 25, 2022. Each of the categories listed in the table below has the meaning as it is used in Nasdaq Rule 5605(f).

Board Refreshment and Retirement Policy

Our Company has an active board refreshment program. As a mechanism to encourage director refreshment, our Board of Directors has established a policy that no individual may stand for election to our Board after their 72nd birthday, unless otherwise approved by a majority of our directors.

Since June 2017, seven new directors have joined our Board: Lloyd E. Johnson in fiscal 2018, Herbert K. Parker and Mark A. Pompa in fiscal 2019; Christina M. Alvord, Frank G. Heard and Elizabeth M. Lilly in fiscal 2020 and Ty R. Silberhorn in fiscal 2021.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors

Our Board of Directors has established director stock ownership guidelines that encourage share ownership by our directors in an amount having a market value equal to three-times the annual Board retainer to be achieved within five years of first being elected as a director. For fiscal 2022, the annual Board retainer was $65,000. In calculating share ownership of our non-employee directors, we include shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred restricted stock units issued pursuant to our 2009 Director Stock Plan, 2019 Director Stock Plan and phantom stock units issued pursuant to

21

##### Table of Contents

our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Shares are valued based on the average closing price of our common stock for the most recently completed fiscal year. As of February 25, 2022, the last trading day of fiscal 2022, all of our non-employee directors exceeded our stock ownership guidelines.

Board Meetings and 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

During fiscal 2022, our Board of Directors met six times and our non-employee directors met in executive session without our Chief Executive Officer or any other members of management being present at each meeting. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the regularly scheduled and special meetings of our Board of Directors and our Board Committees on which they served that were held during the time they were a director during fiscal 2022.

All members of our Board of Directors are expected to attend our annual meeting of shareholders, and all the members of our Board of Directors who continued to serve on our Board after our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders attended such meeting via the virtual meeting platform.

Board Committee Responsibilities, Meetings and Membership

Each Committee operates under a written charter that is available on our website at www.apog.com by clicking on “Investors” and selecting “Governance” and then clicking on the applicable Board Committee.

Risk Oversight by Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors oversees our enterprise risk management processes, focusing on our business, strategic, financial, operational, information technology, cybersecurity and overall enterprise risk. Our

23

##### Table of Contents

Board determined that oversight of our Company’s strategy and overall enterprise risk management program is more effective when performed by the full Board, utilizing the skills and experiences of all Board members. In addition, our Board of Directors executes its overall responsibility for risk management through its Committees as follows:

| • |  | Our Audit Committee has primary responsibility for risk management relating to the reliability of our financial reporting processes, system of internal controls and corporate compliance program. Our Audit Committee receives quarterly reports from management, our independent registered public accounting firm and internal audit partner regarding our financial reporting processes, internal controls and public filings. It also receives quarterly updates from management regarding Code of Conduct issues, litigation and legal claims, and other compliance matters.

| • |  | Our Compensation Committee, with assistance from its independent compensation consultant, oversees risk management associated with our compensation programs, policies and practices with respect to both executive compensation and compensation in general.

| • |  | Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risk management associated with succession planning, non-employee director compensation, overall Board of Directors and Board Committee performance, and corporate governance practices.

Cybersecurity Risk Management

Our full Board oversees the Company’s cybersecurity risk management strategy, with management providing regular reports to the Board both on cybersecurity risks facing the Company and the systems management has implemented to identify and manage those risks. At least once per year, and more frequently if necessary, our Chief Information Officer updates our Board on the Company’s information technology and cyber risk profile and the steps taken by management to mitigate those risks. The Company employs external advisors to assist with cybersecurity risk assessments, including external network penetration testing, and with developing risk mitigation strategies.

We have a robust information technology and cybersecurity training program for our employees, including mandatory computer-based training, ongoing employee testing to evaluate the effectiveness of our cybersecurity program and regular internal training and awareness communications. As part of our training program, we require our employees to complete an online cybersecurity awareness course each year. In addition, we have an ongoing phishing and social engineering awareness program that is designed to simulate real-world threats, and which provides prompt feedback to employees and management to identify employees who need additional training. We also maintain cybersecurity insurance of the types and amounts that we believe to be commercially prudent based on our risk profile.

We are continually focused on strengthening our team to ensure that we have the capabilities in place to consistently deliver for our customers. Apogee has an enterprise-wide talent management program in place to hire, train, and develop a diverse team of employees and leaders. We are also committed to our employees’ safety and wellness, with a robust workplace safety program, comprehensive benefit packages, and wellness initiatives to promote healthy lifestyles.

Competition for qualified employees in the markets and industries in which we operate is intense, and the success of our Company depends on our ability to attract, select, develop and retain a productive and engaged workforce. Investing in our employees and their well-being, offering competitive compensation and benefits, promoting diversity and inclusion, and adopting positive human capital management practices are critical components of our corporate strategy.

Health, Wellness and Safety

The safety of our employees is integral to our Company. Providing a safe and secure work environment is one of our highest priorities and we devote significant time and resources to workplace safety. Our safety programs are designed to comply with stringent regulatory requirements and to meet or exceed best practices in our industry. This commitment requires focus and dedication to fundamental aspects of our business to minimize the risk of accidents, injury, and exposure to health hazards. We utilize a safety culture assessment process along with safety compliance audits to monitor safety programs within our businesses. These assessments and audits provide suggestions for continuous improvement in safety programs and measure employee engagement. In addition, the programs encourage the development of a proactive, inter dependent safety culture in which leadership and employees interact to ensure safety is viewed as everyone’s responsibility.

We offer comprehensive health and wellness programs for our employees. In addition to standard health programs including medical insurance and preventive care, we have a variety of resources available to employees relating to physical and mental wellness.

The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the importance of keeping our employees safe and healthy. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken actions consistent with recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other local, state, and federal government agencies, to protect our employees.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our diversity, equity and inclusion program promotes a workplace where each employee’s abilities are recognized, respected, and utilized to further the Company’s goals. Our aim is to create an environment where people feel included as a part of a team because of their diversity of outlooks, perspectives, and characteristics, which ultimately adds value for our Company. We strive to create a culture of inclusion, reduce bias in our talent practices, and invest in and engage with our communities. We conduct diversity and code of conduct trainings with employees and managers to make clear our views on diversity and promote an inclusive and diverse workplace, where all individuals feel respected and part of a team regardless of their race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Talent Management and Development

Our talent management program is focused on developing employees and leaders to meet the Company’s evolving needs. Managers actively engage with their employees to provide coaching and feedback and identify training and development opportunities to improve performance in the employee’s current role and to position the employee for future growth. Training and development opportunities include new-hire training, job specific training, stretch assignments, and safety training. The Company also offers leadership development opportunities, such as our Apogee Leadership Program, along with technical training for engineers, designers and sales staff. In addition, the Company offers an education assistance program in which certain eligible employees receive tuition reimbursement to help defray the costs associated with their continuing education. Our executive leadership and Human Resources teams regularly conduct talent reviews and succession planning to assist with meeting critical talent and leadership needs.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

We have established written policies and procedures (the “Related Person Transactions Policy”) to assist us in reviewing transactions in excess of $120,000 involving our Company and our subsidiaries and Related Persons (“Related Persons Transactions”). A Related Person includes our Company’s directors, director nominees, executive officers and beneficial owners of 5% or more of our Company’s common stock and their respective Immediate Family Members (as defined in our Related Person Transactions Policy). Our Related Person Transactions Policy supplements our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct Conflict of Interest Policy, which applies to all of our employees and directors.

Our Related Person Transactions Policy requires any Related Person Transaction to be promptly reported to the Chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In approving, ratifying or rejecting a Related Person Transaction, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider such information as it deems important to determine if the Related Person Transaction is fair to our Company. Our Conflict of Interest Policy requires our employees and directors to report to our General Counsel any potential conflict of interest situations involving any employee or director, or their Immediate Family Members. During fiscal 2022, there were no Related Party Transactions involving a Related Person, as defined in the policy.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements During Fiscal 2022

We structure director compensation to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors and to further align the interests of directors with the interests of our shareholders.

Our Board of Directors approves the compensation for members of our Board of Directors and Committees based on the recommendations of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We target compensation for service on our Board of Directors and Committees generally at the 50th percentile for board service at companies in our peer group of companies, using the same peer group used for executive compensation purposes. Generally, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and discusses the compensation data and analysis provided by management with reference to a third-party compensation database. Our Chief Executive Officer participates in the discussions on compensation for members of our Board of Directors. Directors who are employees receive no additional compensation for serving on our Board of Directors.

The following table describes the compensation arrangements with our non-employee directors as of the end of fiscal 2022.

Compensation |  | Fiscal 2022
Annual Cash Retainers: |  |  |  |  |
Non-Executive Chair of the Board |  |  |  | $135,000 |
Board Member |  |  |  | 65,000 |
Audit Committee Chair |  |  |  | 30,000 |
Audit Committee Member |  |  |  | 15,000 |

Annual Equity Grant |  |  |  | 105,000(1) |
Charitable Matching Contributions Program |  |  |  | $2,000 maximum aggregate annual match |

(1) | On June 24, 2021, we granted a restricted stock award of 2,721 shares to each non-employee director other than Mr. Heard, and a restricted stock unit award of 2,721 units to Mr. Heard, having a value of approximately $105,003 on the date of grant. The award vests over three years in equal annual installments on the anniversaries of the grant date. See “Fiscal 2022 Non-Employee Director Compensation Table” beginning on page 29 for additional details.

Annual Equity Awards

Annual equity awards to non-employee directors, which may be restricted stock or restricted stock units, are issued pursuant to our 2019 Director Stock Plan. Each non-employee director receives a prorated award on the date they are first elected to our Board and annually on or about the date of our annual meeting of shareholders if their term continues after such meeting. The dollar value of the award is determined by our Board of Directors in June of each year, after recommendation by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and in consideration of various factors, including market data and trends. We target the equity-based compensation received by non-employee directors at approximately the 50th percentile of our peer group of companies. Equity awards generally vest in

27

##### Table of Contents

three equal annual installments over a three-year vesting period. Upon issuance of restricted stock, each holder is entitled to the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares of restricted stock. Generally, we issue restricted stock unit awards (instead of restricted stock awards) to our non-employee directors who are not residents of the United States. For awards made pursuant to our 2019 Director Stock Plan, dividends or other distributions (whether cash, stock or otherwise) will accrue during the vesting period and will be paid only upon vesting. Awards will be forfeited upon the termination of a director’s service, unless the director is terminated by the Company due to retirement, death or disability, in which case restricted stock will accelerate and vest. If a change-in-control (as defined in the 2019 Director Stock Plan) occurs, any award shall vest immediately.

Director Deferred Compensation Arrangements

Deferral of Equity Awards

In lieu of receiving a restricted stock award, non-employee directors have the option to receive a deferred restricted stock unit award, pursuant to the Restricted Stock Deferral Program adopted by our Board under our 2019 Director Stock Plan. By electing to receive a deferred restricted stock unit award, a director can defer receipt of all or a portion of any award. Each non-employee director who receives a deferred restricted stock unit award in lieu of an award receives a credit of shares of our common stock in an amount equal to the number of shares or units they would have received pursuant to the award. The account is also credited, as of the crediting date, with an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares or units credited to each account. Non-employee directors receiving a deferred restricted stock unit award may elect to receive the amounts credited to their account at a fixed date, at age 70, or following death or retirement from our Board of Directors. The deferred restricted stock unit awards and related accumulated dividends are paid out in the form of shares of our common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares) either in a lump sum or in installments, at the participating director’s election. This is an unfunded book-entry plan and no trust or other vehicle has been established to hold any shares of our common stock.

Deferral of Cash Retainers

Under our prior Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, which was in effect during fiscal 2022 through December 31, 2021, participants could elect to defer all or a portion of their annual cash retainer into deferred stock accounts. There was no Company match on amounts deferred by our non-employee directors under such plan. Each participating director received a credit of shares of our common stock in an amount equal to the amount of annual cash retainer deferred divided by the fair market value of one share of our common stock as of the crediting date. These accounts also were credited, as of the crediting date, with an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares credited to each account. Participating directors may elect to receive the amounts credited to their accounts at a fixed date, at age 70, or following death or retirement from our Board of Directors. The deferred amounts are paid out in the form of shares of our common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares) either in a lump sum or in installments, at the participating director’s election. This plan is an unfunded, book-entry, “phantom stock unit” plan, as no trust or other vehicle has been established to hold any shares of our common stock.

Effective as of January 1, 2022, non-employee directors could elect to defer all or a portion of their annual cash retainer into the newly adopted 2021 Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Under this plan, we credit a participant’s plan account with earnings based on the participant’s investment allocation among a menu of hypothetical investment fund options. An Apogee common stock fund is not one of the investment options available under this plan. Participants may elect to receive the amounts credited to their accounts at a fixed date or following retirement from our Board of Directors. Like the prior plan, all amounts paid under this plan are paid from our general

##### Table of Contents

assets and are subject to the claims of our creditors. The material terms of this plan are otherwise comparable to those of the prior plan.

Charitable Matching Contributions Program for Non-Employee Directors

Under our Charitable Matching Contributions Program for Non-Employee Directors, we match cash or publicly-traded stock contributions made by our non-employee directors to approved charitable organizations that are exempt from federal income tax up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2,000 per eligible non-employee director per calendar year.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes Apogee’s executive compensation program for fiscal 2022, and certain elements of the fiscal 2023 program. In particular, this section explains how our Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) made decisions related to compensation for our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2022.

Our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2022 were:

| • |  | Ty R. Silberhorn, Chief Executive Officer and President

| • |  | Nisheet Gupta, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

| • |  | Curtis J. Dobler, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer

Executive Summary

About Apogee. Our Company is a leading provider of architectural products and services for enclosing buildings, and high-performance glass and acrylic products used to protect, preserve and enhance the viewing of objects and displays. We have four reporting segments, with three of the segments serving the commercial construction market. In fiscal 2022, we had net revenue of approximately $1.31 billion.

Our Strategy.

In fiscal 2022, we conducted a holistic strategic review of our business and the markets we serve. This review included extensive input from customers and industry influencers, along with detailed competitive benchmarking. We analyzed our portfolio of products, services, and capabilities to identify the best areas for future growth. We also evaluated our operating model to ensure we have the organizational structure and capabilities needed to deliver consistent profitable growth. Through this work, we validated the Company’s strengths that we can leverage as we move forward. We also identified several challenges facing the Company and opportunities for improved performance.

Following this review, we established a new enterprise strategy, with three key elements:

| 1. | Become the economic leader in our target markets. We will achieve this by developing a deep understanding of our target markets and aligning our businesses with clear go-to-market strategies to drive value for our customers through differentiated product and service offerings. We will also build a relentless focus on operational execution, driving productivity improvements, and maintaining a competitive cost structure, so that we may bring more value to our customers and improve our own profitability.

| 2. | Actively manage our portfolio to drive higher margins and returns. We intend to shift our business mix toward higher operating margin offerings and improve our return on invested capital performance. We will accomplish this by allocating resources to grow our top

33

##### Table of Contents

| performing businesses, actively addressing underperforming businesses, and investing to add new differentiated product and service offerings to accelerate our growth.

| 3. | Strengthen our core capabilities. We are shifting from our historical, decentralized operating model, to one with center-led functional expertise that enables us to leverage the scale of the enterprise to better support the needs of the business. We are establishing a Company-wide operating system with common tools and processes that are based on the foundation of Lean and Continuous Improvement. This will be supported by a robust talent management program and a commitment to strong governance to ensure compliance and drive sustainable performance.

During the fiscal year, we began to implement our new strategy, building significant momentum in the transformation of our business. We realigned our Architectural Framing Systems segment to better leverage the scale and capabilities of the organization, and to bring more clarity and focus in our go-to-market approach. We refocused our Architectural Glass segment to emphasize differentiated, high value-added products. We also announced our intention to move the Sotawall business into our Architectural Services segment beginning in fiscal 2023 to create a single, unified offering for larger custom curtainwall projects. During the fiscal year, we began several enterprise transformation initiatives designed to strengthen core processes and systems and provide new capabilities across several functional areas. Finally, we relaunched our Lean and Continuous Improvement program, adding key talent and developing a set of tools and processes that we will use to drive improved performance across the enterprise.

We plan to continue to execute this strategy over the next several years. To measure our progress, we have established three consolidated enterprise financial targets, which we expect to achieve by the end of fiscal year 2025:

| • |  | Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) greater than 12 percent;

| • |  | operating margin greater than 10 percent; and

| • |  | revenue growth greater than 1.2 times the overall non-residential construction market.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

ROIC is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as operating income (adjusted for certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuations from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of the company) after tax, divided by average invested capital. We believe this measure is useful in understanding operational performance and capital allocation over time.

This measure is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain information necessary to calculate this measure on a GAAP basis is dependent on future events, some of which are beyond our control, and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts. This non-GAAP measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported financial results of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate this measure differently from us, thereby limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparison with others.

Our Fiscal 2022 Performance. Fiscal 2022 was a challenging year for our business due to a downturn in the non-residential construction market, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, cost inflation and supply chain issues. During the fiscal year we embarked on a new strategic direction focusing on three pillars: working to become the economic leader in our target markets; actively managing our portfolio; and strengthening our core capabilities.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Practices. Our compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain executive talent to achieve success in both the short-term and long-term for our Company; pay for sustainable performance in an ever-changing environment; and align the interests of our executive officers with our shareholders. We continue to refine our executive compensation program to reflect changes in our business strategy and evolving executive compensation practices.

Our Executive Compensation Practices: (What We Do) |  | See Page |  | Executive Compensation Practices We Have Not Implemented or Have Discontinued: (What We Don’t Do) |  | See Page
We seek alignment of pay and performance each year. A significant portion of our compensation program is performance-based through the use of our short-term and long-term incentive plans. |  | 37 – 38 |  | Other than an employment agreement with Mr. Silberhorn and an offer letter with Mr. Gupta when they were hired, we do not have employment contracts for our Named Executive Officers. |  | 48 – 49
We review “tally sheets” and realizable pay and performance for our Named Executive Officers and use that information as a factor in making compensation decisions. |  | 39 – 40 |  | We do not pay annual incentive compensation if our Company is not profitable for the year. |  | 42 – 43
We mitigate undue compensation risk by utilizing caps on potential payments, multiple financial performance metrics, and different metrics for our annual cash incentives and long-term performance awards, as well as having robust Board and Board Committee processes to identify and manage risk. |  | 50 |  | We do not believe any of our Company’s compensation programs create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company. |  | 50
We have change-in-control severance agreements with all of our Named Executive Officers that provide benefits only upon a “double trigger.” |  | 59 – 60 |  | We do not provide for excise tax “gross-ups” or “single triggers” in our change-in-control severance agreements. |  | 59 – 60
Our equity award agreements for grants made pursuant to our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan and 2019 Stock Incentive Plan have “double trigger” change-in-control provisions for all employees. |  | 60 |  |  |  |
We have adopted share ownership guidelines, and we review compliance annually. |  | 49 |  | We do not reprice underwater stock options or stock appreciation rights. |  | 45 – 46
We evaluate share utilization by annually reviewing overhang and burn rates. |  | 42 |  | We do not pay dividends during the restricted periods on unvested equity awards made pursuant to our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan. |  |
The Committee benefits from its utilization of a compensation consulting firm that fully meets the stringent independence requirements under the final rules of the Dodd-Frank Act. |  | 40 – 41 |  | The Compensation Committee affirmatively concludes that its compensation consultant is independent on an annual basis. |  | 40 – 41
We have a clawback policy that applies to our Named Executive Officers and certain other executives. |  | 49 |  | We do not provide tax reimbursement or tax “gross-ups” on any perquisites. |  | 47
We have an anti-hedging policy that prohibits all employees and directors from engaging in hedging transactions in our Company’s securities and an anti-pledging policy that prohibits executive officers and directors from pledging our shares as collateral for indebtedness. |  | 49 |  |  |  |

The Role of Shareholder Vote on Say on Pay Proposal. Our Company provides our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on our Say on Pay Proposal annually. At our Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 23, 2021, 95.2% of the votes cast on the Say on Pay Proposal were voted in favor of ratification of the proposal. The Committee did not make any changes to its programs in response to this vote. The Committee will consider the outcome of our Company’s Say on Pay Proposal when making future compensation decisions.

Highlights of Fiscal 2022 Compensation Actions. The following section highlights the Committee’s key compensation decisions for fiscal 2022. These decisions were made after the Committee reviewed compensation data provided by its independent compensation consultant.

| • |  | Base Salaries. For fiscal 2022, Mr. Silberhorn, our Chief Executive Officer, did not receive a base salary increase. Among our Other Named Executive Officers, Messrs. Gupta, Dobler and Jewell received base salary increases ranging from 1.96% to 2.44%, and Mr. T. Johnson received an increase of 10.29%.

| • |  | Annual Cash Incentive Payouts. Our annual cash incentive awards are designed to reward achievement of financial goals established in our annual operating plan. For Messrs. Silberhorn, Gupta and Dobler the fiscal 2022 annual cash incentive paid out at 103.34% of target and for Messrs. Jewell and T. Johnson the fiscal 2022 annual cash incentive paid out at 57.97% and 165.37% of target, respectively. See “Fiscal 2022 Annual Cash Incentive Payouts” on page 45 for a discussion of the metrics, goals and amounts paid to our Named Executive Officers for our annual cash incentive awards in fiscal 2022.

| • |  | Long-Term Incentive Awards. Our long-term incentive program for our Other Named Executive Officers is comprised of: (i) 50% time-based restricted stock awards that vest ratably over three years; and (ii) 50% performance awards with a three-year performance period, which settle 50% in cash and 50% in stock and are paid out based on the Company’s three-year average ROIC during the performance period.

Overview of Primary Compensation Elements

The table below provides an overview of the three primary compensation elements of our executive compensation program in fiscal 2022.

Compensation Element |  | Objective |  | How Determined |  | Market Positioning(1) |  | How Impacted by Performance
Base Salary and Benefits |  | Attract and retain executive officers through competitive pay and benefit programs. |  | Individual performance, experience, tenure, competitive market data and executive potential. |  | Targeted to be around the 50th percentile of base salary and benefits for comparable roles at peers. |  | Adjusted based on individual performance.
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation (Short-Term Incentive) |  | Create an incentive for achievement of pre-defined annual Company financial performance results. |  | A percentage of base salary based on competitive market data and trends, and internal equity. For actual bonus payouts – performance against pre-established criteria in our annual cash incentive plan. |  | Our overall performance results will yield total cash compensation levels as follows: •  Below target performance: total cash at or below the 25th percentile. •  Target performance: total cash slightly below the 50th percentile. •  Above target performance: total cash above the 50th percentile. |  | Payout dependent on achievement of one-year Company financial performance goals.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation(2) •   Restricted Stock (50%); and •   Performance Awards (50%) |  | Align the interests of executives with shareholders and focus executives on achieving long-term sustained performance, entrepreneurship and delivery of quality products and services, while creating appropriate retention incentives through the use of multi-year vesting schedules. |  | Individual performance, company performance, market data and trends, internal equity and executive potential. New hire, promotion and special awards. Internal equity and market data and trends. |  | Targeted generally to be at or slightly above the 50th percentile for target performance and up to the 75th percentile for maximum performance. |  | Performance that increases our stock price increases the value of the restricted stock awards and the stock settled portion of the performance awards.

(1) | Actual pay levels may be above or below the targeted level depending on actual performance.

Compensation Process

Our compensation program is evaluated annually taking into consideration changes to our business strategy and annual operating plan, the economy and our competitive marketplace, a robust strategic goal setting process, and evolving executive compensation practices.

During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the performance of each of our Named Executive Officers is evaluated based on a subjective assessment of (i) their executive leadership; and (ii) achievement of agreed-upon individual business objectives for the just-completed fiscal year. The annual performance evaluation of our Chief Executive Officer is administered by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with all non-employee directors participating in the performance evaluation, and the results of the Chief Executive Officer’s annual performance evaluation is reviewed by the Committee and our full Board. Our Chief Executive Officer conducts or participates in the annual performance evaluation of our Other Named Executive Officers and reviews the results with members of the Committee.

In establishing the elements and levels of compensation for a fiscal year, the Committee considers the annual performance evaluations of our Named Executive Officers and reviews its compensation consultant’s independent analyses of compensation based on comparable positions, using both published survey sources and company peer group data to determine our competitive positioning relative to the market. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Committee on compensation for our Other Named Executive Officers, but does not participate in the determination of his own compensation.

The Committee continuously monitors our compensation programs and annually reviews a compensation “tally sheet,” which lists total direct compensation (base salary, annual cash incentive compensation, and long-term incentive awards), perquisites, other elements of executive compensation, and broad-based employee benefits and wealth accumulation through our Company equity and retirement plans for our Named Executive Officers; however, the compensation tally sheets are not used to make actual pay decisions. The Committee assesses historical pay and performance to ensure continued alignment of our compensation programs.

Consulting Assistance, Peer Group and Competitive Market

Compensation Consultant Independence. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain independent compensation consultants to provide counsel and advice regarding compensation levels for our executive officers and related matters. In fiscal 2022, the Committee retained the services of Pearl Meyer through December 2021 and in January 2022 retained Willis Tower Watson (“WTW”) for the remainder of the fiscal year. The compensation consultant reports directly to the Committee, and the Committee can replace the compensation consultant or hire additional consultants at any time. During fiscal 2022, Pearl Meyer or WTW, as applicable, attended each Committee meeting in person or by video conference, including executive sessions as requested, and consulted with the Chair of the Committee between meetings.

As required under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Committee has analyzed whether the work of Pearl Meyer or WTW, as its compensation consultant, raises any conflict of interest, taking into consideration the following factors under the Nasdaq listing rules: (i) neither Pearl Meyer nor WTW provides any other services to our Company, except that WTW provided brokerage services for the Company’s property insurance and surety bonds; (ii) the amount of fees from our Company paid to Pearl Meyer and WTW is less than 1% of each of Pearl Meyer’s and WTW’s total revenue; (iii) Pearl Meyer’s and WTW’s

40

##### Table of Contents

policies and procedures were designed to ensure independence; (iv) neither Pearl Meyer nor WTW, nor any member of their respective consulting teams, has any business or personal relationship with any executive officer of our Company, and no member of their consulting teams has any business or personal relationship with any member of the Committee; and (v) neither Pearl Meyer nor WTW, nor any member of their respective consulting teams, owns any stock of our Company. In fiscal 2022, the Company paid WTW $14,477 for executive and board compensation support and $178,793 for brokerage services. All brokerage services performed by WTW and their affiliated companies were approved by management and performed at the direction of management in the ordinary course of business.

The Committee has determined, based on its analysis of the above factors, that Pearl Meyer and WTW are independent of our Company and the work of Pearl Meyer and WTW (and the individual compensation advisors employed by Pearl Meyer and WTW) as compensation consultants to the Committee, and the additional services provided by WTW, have not created a conflict of interest. The Committee will continue to annually monitor the independence of its compensation consultant.

Peer Group. The selection criteria identified for determining and reviewing our Company’s peer group generally include:

• |  | Companies with revenue within a similar range (0.33 to 3.0 multiple).

• |  | Companies with market capitalization within a similar range (0.33 to 3.0 multiple).

• |  | Companies with market capitalization to revenue ratio of 0.5 or greater.

• |  | Companies in the same or similar industries.

• |  | Companies with business model similarity, which may include the following:

| – |  | Coatings for special purposes (e.g., protective, UV, etc.);

| – |  | Construction materials, primarily for commercial or industrial applications;

| – |  | Specialized/customized product lines;

| – |  | Heavy-duty manufacturing operations and project-directed manufacturing; and

| – |  | Project-based businesses.

• |  | Companies in the same geographic location (to a lesser degree).

• |  | Companies included in the prior-year peer group, to help ensure year-over-year consistency (where appropriate).

Based on the foregoing selection criteria, Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc. was replaced by American Woodmark Corporation for fiscal 2022. The following 15 firms served as the Company’s peer group for fiscal 2022.

•   Aegion Corporation |  | •   Griffon Corporation
•   American Woodmark Corporation |  | •   H.B. Fuller Company
•   AZZ Inc. |  | •   LCI Industries
•   BMC Stock Holdings, Inc. |  | •   Masonite International Corporation
•   Eagle Materials Inc. |  | •   Quaker Chemical Corporation

•   Gibraltar Industries, Inc. |  | •   Tennant Company
•   Graco Inc. |  |

Competitive Market. The Committee relies on its independent compensation consultant to help define the appropriate competitive market using a combination of the peer group companies and compensation surveys that contain market compensation information for similarly-sized organizations. The information on the competitive market is used by the Committee:

| • |  | As an input in designing our compensation plans and philosophy;

| • |  | As an input in assessing and developing base salary adjustments, annual cash incentive targets and long-term incentive ranges;

| • |  | To benchmark the form and mix of long-term incentive awards;

| • |  | To assess the competitiveness of total direct compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers and certain of our other executives; and

| • |  | To benchmark dilution and overhang levels (dilutive impact on our shareholders of equity compensation) and annual burn rate (the aggregate shares awarded as a percentage of total outstanding shares).

Fiscal 2022 Individual Compensation Actions

Base Salary. Base salary reflects a fixed portion of the overall compensation package and is the base amount from which certain other compensation elements are determined. In making salary adjustments, the Committee considers the executive’s base salary relative to the market, our compensation philosophy and other factors, such as individual performance against business plans, leadership, initiatives, experience, knowledge and job criticality. For fiscal 2022, our Chief Executive Officer, did not receive a base salary increase. Messrs. Gupta, Dobler and Jewell received base salary increases ranging from 1.96% to 2.44%, and Mr. T. Johnson received an increase of 10.29%.

Below is information on the base salaries of our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2022.

Base Salary
Name |  | Fiscal 2022 Base Salary ($) |  | Percent Increase in Fiscal 2022 vs 2021 (%)
Ty R. Silberhorn |  | 800,000 |  | 0.0
Nisheet Gupta |  | 520,000 |  | 1.96
Curtis J. Dobler |  | 393,000 |  | 2.08
Brent C. Jewell |  | 420,000 |  | 2.44
Troy R. Johnson |  | 375,000 |  | 10.29

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation. Annual cash incentive awards create an incentive for achievement of annual financial performance results. These results are measured against objective financial goals set forth in the annual operating plan approved by our Board of Directors.

The awards may be earned below or above target based on the achievement of one or more additional predetermined, objective performance goals based on the annual operating plan approved by our Board of Directors. At least one of the predetermined, objective performance goals must be met at the threshold level in order for any annual cash incentive to be paid to an executive. In addition, if our Company is not profitable, no annual cash incentives will be paid even if the other goals are at or above threshold.

42

##### Table of Contents

Generally, if actual results are below threshold performance level for all performance goals or the Company is not profitable, the payout will be zero. If the threshold performance level for one or more, but not all, performance goals is achieved, less than 50% of the target award will be earned based on the weighting allocated to that specific performance goal. If the threshold performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 50% of the target award will be earned; if target performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 100% of the target award will be earned; and if maximum performance level for all performance goals is achieved, 200% of the target award will be earned. For any performance between these levels, awards will be interpolated.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Our long-term incentive program is designed to align the interests of executives with shareholders and to focus executives on the achievement of long-term sustained performance, entrepreneurship, and delivery of quality products and services, while creating appropriate retention incentives through the use of multi-year vesting schedules.

In fiscal 2022 our long-term incentive program for our Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Silberhorn) was comprised of 50% time-based restricted stock awards and 50% performance awards with a three-year performance period, each described in more detail below. Mr. Silberhorn’s long-term incentive award in fiscal 2022 consisted of 40% time-based restricted stock and 60% as a performance award pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.

Restricted Stock Awards. Each year, the Committee approves a restricted stock award for each executive with a preliminary target fixed dollar value based on a percentage of base salary, after reviewing long-term incentives for comparable roles at peer companies, based on data provided by the independent compensation consultant. For our Chief Executive Officer, the Committee determines the award’s value after considering the results of our Chief Executive Officer’s most recent annual performance evaluation. For our Other Named Executive Officers, our Chief Executive Officer recommends to the Committee increases or decreases in the award’s value based on the executive’s contributions to the Company’s performance, future leadership potential, and subjective evaluation of their individual performance for the just completed fiscal year.

Restricted stock awards are granted under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, and they generally vest in three equal annual installments commencing on April 30 of the year following the date of the award. Upon issuance of the restricted stock, each holder is entitled to the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares of restricted stock. Restricted stock awards issued pursuant to the 2019

Performance Awards. During fiscal 2022, our Compensation Committee adopted a new long-term incentive plan for our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, which includes performance-based awards with a three-year performance period. The Compensation Committee intends to issue performance-based awards annually, with a new, overlapping three-year performance period beginning with each fiscal year’s award. The Compensation Committee adopted the three-year performance awards to replace the two-year end-to-end awards that the Company historically issued (other than in fiscal 2021, when the Compensation Committee awarded stock options because the Compensation Committee did not believe it could establish effective long-term financial performance goals due to the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic) to better align the Company’s long-term incentive plan with market practice and the Company’s strategic plan and financial performance goals.

Other Benefit Programs. Our executive officers also receive the same health and welfare benefits as those offered to all other full-time employees, with the exception that we offer enhanced long-term disability benefits to our executive officers.

Additionally, our executive officers may participate in our voluntary non-qualified deferred compensation plan, as described under the heading “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” on page 57.

We have entered into change-in-control severance agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers. See “Change-in-Control Severance Agreements” on pages 59 – 60 and “Payments Upon Termination and Change-in-Control” on pages 61 – 62 for more information on these arrangements.

To replace forfeited compensation earned by Mr. Silberhorn at his previous employer, the Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Silberhorn shall receive the following (collectively, the “Signing Bonus”):

| • |  | restricted stock of the Company valued at $1,400,000, which will vest in two increments over a five-year period, with the first increment of $500,000 vesting on the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, and the second increment of $900,000 vesting on the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Retention Grant”); and

For a description of potential payments pursuant to the Employment Agreement in the event that Mr. Silberhorn’s employment is terminated, see “Payments Upon Termination and Change-in-Control” on pages 61 – 62.

The Employment Agreement prohibits Mr. Silberhorn from engaging in any business activities that are competitive with any of the businesses conducted by the Company or its affiliates during his employment with the Company and for a period of two years after termination of his employment, as well as prohibiting solicitation of employees and interference with the Company’s business relationships.

Gupta Offer Letter Agreement. In connection with Mr. Gupta’s appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the Company and Mr. Gupta entered into an Offer Letter Agreement, dated May 27, 2020 (the “Offer Letter”). Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter, Mr. Gupta is entitled to an initial annual base salary of $510,000 per year and a one-time sign-on bonus of $100,000 (subject to repayment if Mr. Gupta leaves the Company during the first twelve months of his employment).

The Offer Letter also provides for the grant to Mr. Gupta of 20,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock on June 15, 2020. Such restricted shares will be subject to a three-year vesting schedule. Assuming continued employment with the Company, one-third of the restricted shares will vest annually over three years, starting on the one-year anniversary of Mr. Gupta’s employment with the Company.

Mr. Gupta will participate in the Company’s annual cash incentive plan, with a target cash incentive of 75% of Mr. Gupta’s base salary (with a range of 0% to 200% of such target) for fiscal 2021, subject to achievement of certain financial performance metrics established by the Board. Mr. Gupta’s Offer Letter states that he was entitled to a minimum fiscal 2021 annual cash incentive payout at target performance level of 75%, prorated for the period of time during which he was employed by the Company during the fiscal year, which equaled $286,875.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers that require our Chief Executive Officer to achieve an ownership level of five times his annual base salary, certain corporate officers, including Messrs. Dobler and Gupta, to achieve an ownership level of three times their annual base salaries, and segment presidents, including Messrs. Jewell and T. Johnson, to achieve an ownership level of two times their annual base salaries. The Committee monitors compliance with our stock ownership guidelines on a regular basis. Each executive has five years from the date they become subject to the stock ownership guidelines to meet their ownership guideline. If an executive is promoted and the target is increased, an additional three-year period is provided to meet the ownership guideline. For purposes of calculating stock ownership, we include unvested shares of restricted stock but do not include unexercised stock option awards.

As of April 25, 2022, all of our Named Executive Officers are either in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines or still within the applicable grace period for achieving these ownership levels.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

Our Board of Directors believes that the interests of our executive officers, employees and members of our Board of Directors should be aligned with the interests of our shareholders. As a result, we have adopted an anti-hedging policy that prohibits all employees and members of our Board of Directors from engaging in the purchase or sale of financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our Company’s securities. Our Board of Directors has also adopted an anti-pledging policy, which states that executive officers and directors of the Company are prohibited from, directly or indirectly, pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise encumbering shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for indebtedness. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, holding such shares in a margin account or any other account that could cause the Company’s common stock to be subject to a margin call or otherwise be available as collateral for a margin loan. None of our Named Executive Officers have pledged shares of our common stock as collateral for personal loans or other obligations.

Clawback Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding “clawbacks” for Named Executive Officers and other key executives for performance-based short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans. The policy provides the Board the discretion to clawback incentive compensation awarded or paid during the three-year period preceding the date of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws.

Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”) imposes a $1,000,000 annual deduction limit on compensation payable to certain current and former named executive officers. The Compensation Committee intends to pay competitive compensation consistent with our philosophy to attract, retain and motivate executive officers to manage our business in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Compensation Committee, therefore, may choose to provide non-deductible compensation to our executive officers if it deems such compensation to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

Various programs, including our benefit plans that provide for deferrals of compensation are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. We have reviewed such plans for compliance with Section 409A and believe that they comply.

Compensation Risk Analysis

During fiscal 2022, the Committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant(s) and management, assessed risk in our compensation plans, practices and policies and determined that the Company’s compensation practices and policies do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In performing this risk assessment, the Committee considered:

| • |  | The mix of fixed and variable compensation;

| • |  | The mix of short-term and long-term incentive compensation;

| • |  | The extent to which performance metrics are directly reflected in our audited financial statements or other objective reports;

| • |  | The relative weighting of the performance metrics;

| • |  | The likelihood that achievement of performance metrics could have a material impact on our financial performance in succeeding fiscal periods;

| • |  | The various compensation risk control mitigation features in our compensation plans, including balanced financial performance metrics that include net sales, earnings and operational metrics;

| • |  | Multiple financial performance metrics for our annual cash incentive and long-term incentive plans;

| • |  | Different financial performance metrics for our annual cash incentive and long-term incentive plans;

| • |  | Appropriate maximum caps on our annual cash incentive and long-term performance-based incentive plans and annual equity awards;

| • |  | Management stock ownership guidelines; and

| • |  | Our clawback and hedging policies.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

Deferred Compensation Plan

Our Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management and other highly compensated employees of our Company and our subsidiaries, including our Named Executive Officers. For the 2021, 2020 and 2019 calendar years, approximately 243, 238 and 219 of our employees, respectively, were eligible to participate in our Deferred Compensation Plan and approximately 224 employees are eligible for the 2022 calendar year. Our Deferred Compensation Plan allows for deferrals by participants of up to 75% of base salary and sales commissions, and up to 100% of bonuses and other cash or equity-based compensation approved by the Committee, and also provides that we may establish rules permitting a participant to defer performance-based compensation up to six months prior to the end of a performance period. There is no maximum dollar limit on the amount that may be deferred by a participant each year. A participant in our Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to have the participant’s account credited with earnings and investment gains and losses by assuming that deferred amounts were invested in one or more of 17 hypothetical investment fund options selected by the participant, which had investment returns ranging from (5.04)% to 40.21% for calendar 2021. An Apogee common stock fund is not one of the investment options available under our Deferred Compensation Plan. Participants are permitted to change their investment elections at any time. We may also make discretionary contributions to a participant’s account under our Deferred Compensation Plan, and our Company will designate a vesting schedule for each such contribution. The participants are always 100% vested in the amount they defer, and the earnings, gains and losses credited to their accounts. Participants are entitled to receive a distribution from their account upon: a separation from service, a specified date, death, disability, retirement (as defined in our Deferred Compensation Plan), or unforeseeable emergency

that results in “severe financial hardship” that is consistent with the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Distributions are in a lump sum, installments or a combination of lump sum with installments based upon the participant’s election as allowed under our Deferred Compensation Plan. Our Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded obligation of Apogee, and participants are unsecured creditors of Apogee.

None of our Named Executive Officers participate or have a balance in our Deferred Compensation Plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Following a Change-in-Control

Except as discussed below, if the employment of any of our Named Executive Officers is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated, no additional payments or benefits will accrue or be owed to them, other than what the Named Executive Officer has accrued and vested in under our benefit plans, including under the heading “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” discussed above.

Except as discussed below, or in connection with a change-in-control, a voluntary or involuntary termination will not trigger an acceleration of the vesting of any outstanding equity awards, subject to the Compensation Committee’s discretion to accelerate the awards.

In the event a Named Executive Officer retires prior to the end of a performance period for a performance award, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive a pro-rata payment (based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the performance period and the date of termination) after the end of the performance period based on the level of achievement of the performance metric. In the event a Named Executive Officer retires after the performance period, they will be entitled to receive, if not yet paid, the performance award.

Payments Made Upon Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason

Mr. Silberhorn’s Employment Agreement provides that, if his employment is terminated during the Term by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or by him for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), and Mr. Silberhorn executes a written release substantially in the form attached as an exhibit to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Silberhorn shall be entitled to:

| • |  | severance equal in amount to one year of Mr. Silberhorn’s then-current annual base salary;

| • |  | continued medical and dental insurance coverage, at the Company’s cost, for Mr. Silberhorn and his eligible dependents on the same basis as in effect at the date of his termination, for the earlier to occur of a period of twelve months from the date of his termination or the date on which Mr. Silberhorn becomes eligible for benefits from his successor employer;

| • |  | automatic acceleration of any unvested shares of the Retention Grant Agreement; and

| • |  | any previously earned but unpaid amounts to which he was entitled as of the date of termination.

Payments Made Upon Disability

Under the terms of the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Plans, each of our Named Executive Officers who participates in such plans is eligible for a disability benefit. All of our Named Executive Officers have elected to participate in our enhanced Long-Term Disability Plan and are eligible for a disability benefit that is equal to 100% of their monthly base salary during the first three months of disability and 60% of their monthly base salary up to a maximum of $15,000 per month thereafter.

58

##### Table of Contents

If the employment of any of our Named Executive Officers is terminated due to disability, the terms of our stock option and restricted stock agreements provide for the immediate vesting of such awards. In the event employment is terminated prior to the end of a performance period for a performance award, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive a pro-rata payment (based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the performance period and the date of termination) after the end of the performance period based on the level of achievement of the performance metric. In the event employment is terminated after the performance period, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive, if not yet paid, the performance award.

Mr. Silberhorn’s Employment Agreement and Retention Grant Agreement provide that, if his employment is terminated during the Term because Mr. Silberhorn dies or becomes “Totally Disabled” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Silberhorn or his spouse or estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to:

| • |  | any amounts due to Mr. Silberhorn for base salary through the date of termination;

| • |  | any other unpaid amounts to which Mr. Silberhorn is entitled as of the date of termination, including any amounts that Mr. Silberhorn is entitled to under any benefit plan of the Company in accordance with the terms of such plan; and

| • |  | automatic acceleration of any unvested shares of the Retention Grant (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

Payments Made Upon Death

The terms of our stock option and restricted stock agreements provide for the immediate vesting of such awards in the event of the Named Executive Officer’s death.

In the event of death prior to the end of a performance period for a performance award, the Named Executive Officer’s estate will be entitled to receive a pro-rata payment (based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the performance period and the date of death) after the end of the performance period based on the level of achievement of the performance metric. In the event of death after the performance period, the Named Executive Officer’s estate will be entitled to receive, if not yet paid, the performance award.

See the description of payments due to Mr. Silberhorn’s spouse or estate upon his death, as described in the foregoing section “Payments Made Upon Disability”.

Change-in-Control Severance Agreements

The Committee believes that offering a change-in-control program provides executive officers a degree of security in the event of a corporate transaction and allows for better alignment of executive officer and shareholder interests. We have entered into a change-in-control severance agreement (the “CIC Severance Agreement”) with each of our Named Executive Officers. Our CIC Severance Agreement is designed to retain our executive officers and provide for continuity of management in the event of an actual or threatened “Change-in-Control of Apogee” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement).

Our CIC Severance Agreement contains a “double trigger” for benefits, which means that there must be both a “Change-in-Control of Apogee” and a termination of the executive’s employment for the provisions to apply. It provides that, in the event of a “Change-in-Control of Apogee,” each of our Named Executive Officers will have specific rights and receive specified benefits if the executive officer is terminated without “Cause” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement) or the executive officer voluntarily terminates their employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in the CIC Severance

59

##### Table of Contents

Agreement) within two-years after the “Change-in-Control of Apogee.” In these circumstances, our Named Executive Officers will each receive a severance payment equal to two times their annual base salary and annual cash incentive at target level performance for such fiscal year. In addition, all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards held by the executive officer that have not vested by the employment termination date will be immediately vested on such date. Our CIC Severance Agreement provides that, for a 24-month period following a “Change-in-Control of Apogee,” our Company will continue to provide medical and dental insurance coverage for the executive officer and the executive officer’s dependents or will reimburse the executive officer for the cost of obtaining substantially similar benefits. No benefits will be paid to the executive officer pursuant to the CIC Severance Agreement unless the executive officer executes and delivers to Apogee a release of claims.

We do not provide a tax gross-up payment for any excise tax liability under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999 related to Section 280G excess parachute payments.

Our CIC Severance Agreements contain a “best-net-benefit” provision which provides that, in the event that payments under the agreements trigger excise tax for the Named Executive Officer, such officer has the option of either reducing the severance payment, if the net benefit is greater than paying the excise tax, or paying the excise tax themselves.

To receive these severance benefits, the executive officer shall not: (1) solicit, directly or indirectly, any of our existing or prospective customers, vendors or suppliers for a purpose competitive to our business or to encourage such customers, vendors or suppliers to terminate business with us; (2) solicit, directly or indirectly, any of our employees to terminate their employment; or (3) engage in or carry on, directly or indirectly, in certain geographic markets a business competitive with our business, for a period of 12- or 24-months following termination of employment.

The CIC Severance Agreements continue through December 31 of each year and provide for automatic extension for one-year terms prior to a Change-in-Control unless we give prior notice of termination.

The terms of the agreements for awards made pursuant to our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan and 2019 Stock Incentive Plan contain a “double trigger” for acceleration of vesting upon a Change-in-Control, which means that there must be both a Change-in-Control and the Named Executive Officer’s employment must be terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement) or by the Named Executive Officer for “Good Reason” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement) in order for all stock options and shares of restricted stock that have not vested by the Employment Termination Date to vest. For performance awards, the performance period will end on the date of the Change-in-Control, and the award will be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. If a Change-of-Control occurs after the performance period, the Company will pay any unpaid amount earned during the performance period.

Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

The table below shows potential payments to our Named Executive Officers upon certain terminations pursuant to disability, death and a change-in-control of our Company, as well as potential payments to Mr. Silberhorn upon termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason” (as defined in his Employment Agreement). The table below assumes that disability, death or the termination of employment occurred, or the change-in-control was effective as of February 25, 2022, the last trading day of fiscal 2022. The amounts shown are estimates of the amounts that would be paid to the Named Executive Officers upon termination of employment or the change-in-control, in addition to the base salary and bonus earned by our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2022. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the actual time of a Named Executive Officer’s termination of employment.

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Silberhorn, our Chief Executive Officer and President:

For the year ended February 26, 2022, our last completed fiscal year:

| • |  | the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than our Chief Executive Officer) was $51,364; and

| • |  | the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 51 of this proxy statement, was $3,199,648.

We reasonably estimate that the ratio of our Chief Executive Officer’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 62 times. Our pay ratio estimate has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates that we used were as follows:

We determined that, as of December 31, 2021, our employee population consisted of 5,249 individuals (including full-time and part-time employees, other than our Chief Executive Officer, who were employed on December 31, 2021) working at the Company together with our consolidated subsidiaries. Of these individuals, 4,437 were located in the U.S. and U.S. territories, and 812 were from our subsidiaries in Canada and Brazil. We chose to exclude all 190 of our employees from our Brazil subsidiary, which consists of 3.6% of our workforce, from the identification of “median employee,” as permitted by SEC rules.

Our employee population, after taking into consideration the permitted adjustments described above, consisted of 5,059 members. Our adjusted employee population consisted of 4,437 employees in the U.S. and 622 employees located in Canada.

We identified our median employee based on the total cash and stock-based compensation earned during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021. In making this determination, we annualized the compensation of all full- and part-time permanent employees included in the sample who were hired in calendar year 2021, but did not work for us or our included subsidiaries for the entire twelve-month period described below. For purposes of determining the total compensation actually earned, we included: the amount of base salary (or, in the case of hourly workers, base wages including overtime pay) the employee received during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the amount of any cash incentives paid or deferred in such period (which include sales commissions as well as cash incentives that are generally paid for performance during the prior quarter or year), and the amount of any income from stock-based compensation, as reflected in our payroll records. For purposes of identifying the median employee, we applied the average exchange rate for calendar year 2021, which was U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars—1.2533 CAD.

Once we identified our median employee, we then determined that employee’s annual total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determine the annual total compensation of our Named Executive Officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table disclosed above. The annual total compensation for our median employee for fiscal 2022 was determined to be $51,364. This amount was then compared to the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer disclosed above in the Summary Compensation Table, of $3,199,648. The elements included in the Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation are discussed above in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table.

Proposal 2: Advisory Approval of Apogee’s Executive Compensation

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing shareholders with an advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the rules of the SEC.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. We believe that our executive compensation program is structured in the best manner possible to support our Company and its business objectives. It has been designed to implement certain core compensation principles, which include:

| • |  | Alignment of management’s interests with our shareholders’ interests to support long-term value creation through our equity compensation programs and share ownership guidelines;

| • |  | Pay-for-performance, which is demonstrated by linking annual cash incentives and long-term incentives to key financial measures;

| • |  | Providing a flexible compensation package that reflects the cyclical nature of our business and fairly compensates our executives over our business cycle; and

| • |  | Linking compensation to market levels of compensation paid to executive officers in the competitive market so that we can attract, motivate and retain executives who are able to drive the long-term success of Apogee.

We believe our executive compensation program reflects a strong pay-for-performance philosophy and is well-aligned with our shareholders’ long-term interests. Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate our executives, drive desirable behaviors, be competitive, promote retention and reward successful performance. We ask for your support for the reasons listed below.

| • |  | Our compensation programs are substantially tied to achievement of our key financial and business objectives. A significant portion of each Named Executive Officer’s potential total annual cash compensation and long-term compensation is at-risk and linked to our operating performance.

| • |  | Our compensation programs are designed to take into account the cyclical nature of our business and to fairly compensate our executives over the commercial construction cycle.

| • |  | Our compensation programs for executive officers deliver a significant portion of potential total compensation in the form of equity. If the value we deliver to our shareholders declines, so does the compensation we deliver to our executive officers.

| • |  | We have stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers.

| • |  | We offer very limited perquisites to our executive officers and do not provide tax reimbursement or “gross-ups” on perquisites.

| • |  | Each of our Named Executive Officers is expected to demonstrate exceptional individual performance in order to continue serving as a member of the executive team.

| • |  | We continue to refine our executive compensation program to reflect evolving executive compensation practices.

##### Table of Contents

We believe that the information provided above and within the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management’s interests are aligned with our shareholders’ interests to support long-term value creation. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Apogee’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in Apogee’s Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and other related narrative disclosures.”

This advisory vote on executive compensation is not binding on Apogee, our Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. However, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements. We currently conduct annual advisory votes on executive compensation, and we expect to conduct our next advisory vote at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors recommend that you vote FOR the Say on Pay Proposal. Proxies will be voted FOR the proposal unless otherwise specified.

Proposal 3: Ratification of Appointment of Independent

Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 25, 2023, subject to a satisfactory evaluation of the firm’s performance in conducting our fiscal 2022 audit. Deloitte has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since fiscal 2003. The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of Deloitte and believes that the retention of Deloitte is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

While it is not required to do so, our Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of Deloitte to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 25, 2023, to our shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance.

If shareholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another Independent Accounting Firm. Even if the selection of Deloitte is ratified by shareholders, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, appoint a different firm of Independent Auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

We have been advised that a representative from Deloitte will be present at the Annual Meeting. The representative will be available to respond to appropriate questions and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if the firm so desires.

Board Recommendation

Our Board of Directors recommend that you vote FOR the proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 25, 2023. Proxies will be voted FOR the proposal unless otherwise specified.

Audit Committee Report

Our Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process (including our system of financial controls and internal and external auditing procedures) on behalf of our Board; oversees our program to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and ethical business practices; assesses and establishes policies and procedures to manage our financial reporting risk; and assesses our compliance with financial covenants in our debt instruments. Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Our financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2022, were audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm.

Our Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP. Our Audit Committee has also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed pursuant to applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Deloitte & Touche LLP has discussed with our Audit Committee their independence and provided to our Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, our Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that our audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2022, for filing with the SEC.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services

In recognition of this responsibility, our Audit Committee established a policy to require pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. As permitted by regulations of the SEC, our Audit Committee delegated the authority to pre-approve services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm to the Chair of our Audit Committee, who reports any pre-approval decisions to our Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

All of the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in fiscal 2022 and 2021, including services related to the audit-related fees, tax fees and all other fees described above, were approved by our Audit Committee under its pre-approval policy.

What am I voting on, what vote is required to approve each proposal and how does the Board recommend I vote?

The table below summarizes the proposals that will be voted on, the vote required to approve each item, how votes are counted and how the Board recommends you vote.

Proposal |  | Vote Required |  | Voting Options |  | Board Recommendation |  | Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed(1) |  | Impact of Abstention |  | Impact of Broker Non- Vote
Proposal 1 - Election of three Class III directors for terms expiring at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders |  | Majority of votes cast (votes cast “For” must exceed votes cast “Against”)(2) |  | FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAIN |  | FOR |  | No |  | None |  | None
Proposal 2 - “Say on Pay” Advisory vote to approve Apogee’s executive compensation |  | Majority of votes present in person (i.e., online) or by proxy and entitled to vote on this item(3) |  | FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAIN |  | FOR |  | No |  | Against |  | None
Proposal 3 - Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 25, 2023 |  | Majority of votes present in person (i.e., online) or by proxy and entitled to vote on this item(3) |  | FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAIN |  | FOR |  | Yes |  | Against |  | N/A

(1) | A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. If a broker returns a “non-vote” proxy indicating a lack of authority to vote on a proposal, then the shares covered by such a “non-vote” proxy will be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, but generally are not counted or deemed to be present in person or by proxy for the purpose of voting on Proposals 1-2.

(2) | Section 5.02 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation require that a director nominee will be elected only if they receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to their election in an uncontested election, that is, the number of shares “for” that nominee exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that nominee. A vote to “abstain” will not have any effect on determining the election results. If a director nominee is not elected and the nominee is an incumbent director, that director shall promptly tender their resignation to the Board of Directors, subject to acceptance by the Board of Directors. In that event, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the tender of resignation. The Board, after taking into account the recommendation, must publicly disclose its decision and rationale within 90 days after the election. The director who failed to receive a majority vote will not participate in the decision.

(3) | The voting standard assumes that the number of shares voted in favor of such proposal constitute more than 25% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

How can I ask questions during the Annual Meeting?

You may submit questions in real time during the Annual Meeting following the formal business portion of the meeting, by entering them into the field provided on the meeting website. The directors and executive management will answer appropriate questions from shareholders. To allow us to answer questions from as many shareholders as possible, we will limit each shareholder to two questions. It will help us if questions are succinct and cover only one topic.

How do I cast my vote?

Your vote is important. If you are a shareholder of record, you can give a proxy to be voted at the Annual Meeting in any of the following ways:

| • |  | electronically via the Internet by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions on the Notice or, if you received paper copies of our proxy materials, on the enclosed proxy card;

| • |  | by telephone by following the “Vote by Telephone” instructions on the Notice or, if you received paper copies of our proxy materials, on the proxy card;

| • |  | by completing, signing and mailing the proxy card (if you received paper copies of our proxy materials); or

| • |  | by attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting online on the meeting website.

If you are an employee and received our 2022 proxy materials electronically via the Internet at your company email address, you will only be able to give a proxy to be voted at the Annual Meeting electronically via the Internet as described under “How do I vote if my shares are held in the 401(k) Retirement Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee?” below.

If you hold your shares in street name, you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker or other nominee. Your broker or other nominee has enclosed or otherwise provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or other nominee how to vote your shares.

If you properly submit your proxy via the Internet, by telephone or return your executed proxy by mail and do not revoke your proxy, it will be voted in the manner you specify. If you submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, the proxies will vote those shares as recommended by the Board.

How do I vote if my shares are held in the 401(k) Retirement Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee?

If you hold any shares in our 401(k) Retirement Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee, your Internet proxy vote or completed proxy card will serve as voting instructions to the plan trustee or plan custodian, as applicable. However, your voting instructions for these plans must be received by 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time on Monday, June 20, 2022 in order to count. In accordance with the terms of our 401(k) Retirement Plan, the trustee will vote all of the shares held in the plan, and for which it has not received direction, in the same proportion as the directed shares are voted, unless contrary to ERISA or other applicable law. If you are a participant in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the plan custodian cannot vote your shares unless it receives timely instructions from you.

If you hold shares in our 401(k) Retirement Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee and have a company email address, you will receive our 2022 Proxy Statement and 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders electronically at your company email address instead of receiving paper copies of these documents in the mail. The email will provide instructions and a control number

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares registered in more than one account in different names or variations of your name. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, if you submit your proxy vote via the Internet or by telephone vote once for each proxy card you received or sign and return each proxy card.

You may prefer to hold your shares in more than one account, and you are welcome to do so. However, please contact our Investor Relations Department at IR@apog.com or (877) 752-3432 (telephone) for information on how to merge your accounts.

You may either vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on each proposal.

If you submit your proxy but ABSTAIN from voting on one or more proposals, your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum. Your shares also will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of calculating the vote on the particular matter from which you abstained from voting.

With respect to the election of directors, a vote to “ABSTAIN” will not have any effect on determining the election results.

If you ABSTAIN from voting on a proposal other than for the election of directors, your abstention has the same effect as a vote against that proposal.

If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will be considered “broker non-votes” and will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Your broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote your shares on the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3), even if your broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from you. Your broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on any other proposals if your broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from you.

If a broker returns a “non-vote” proxy indicating a lack of authority to vote on a proposal, then the shares covered by such a “non-vote” proxy will be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, but generally are not counted or deemed to be present in person or by proxy for the purpose of voting on Proposals 1-2.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our tabulating agent, will tabulate the votes and act as independent inspector of election.

What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?

If you submit your proxy via the Internet or telephone or a signed proxy card and do not specify how you want to vote your shares, we will vote your shares FOR all nominees and proposals. As of the date of this proxy statement, we know of no other matters that will be presented for a shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting for a shareholder vote, they will be voted in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy or voting instructions?

Yes. If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting, in any of the following ways:

| • |  | by sending a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary;

| • |  | by submitting a later-dated proxy to our Corporate Secretary;

| • |  | by submitting a later-dated proxy via the Internet;

| • |  | by submitting a later-dated proxy by telephone; or

| • |  | by voting in person at the meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name, you should contact your broker, bank, trust or other nominee for information on how to revoke your voting instructions and provide new voting instructions.

If you hold shares in our 401(k) Retirement Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other plans of Apogee, you may revoke your proxy and change your voting instructions at any time, but no later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time on Monday, June 20, 2022, in any of the following ways:

| • |  | by sending a written notice of revocation to the plan trustee or plan custodian;

| • |  | by submitting a later-dated voting instruction or proxy to the plan trustee or plan custodian;

| • |  | by submitting a later-dated voting instruction or proxy via the Internet; or

| • |  | by submitting a later-dated voting instruction by telephone.

Internet: |  | www.apog.com
Email: |  | IR@apog.com
Telephone: |  | (877) 752-3432
Mail: |  | Investor Relations Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435

How do I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

The Notice provides you with instructions regarding how to view the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the Internet.

Our 2022 Proxy Statement and 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, are available at www.proxyvote.com.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is your designation of another person to vote stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. When you designate someone a proxy, you may also direct the proxy how to vote your shares. We refer to this as your “proxy vote.” Three of our executive officers, Ty R. Silberhorn, Nisheet Gupta and Meghan M. Elliott, have been designated as the proxies for shareholders voting on the enclosed proxy card 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, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is considered to be the shareholder of record with respect to 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 broker, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote their shares using the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank, trust or other nominee.

Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?

We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokers and other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our shares.

We are soliciting proxies primarily by mail and email. In addition, some of our officers and regular employees may solicit the return of proxies by telephone, facsimile, personal interview or email. These individuals will receive no additional compensation for these services.

How can I recommend or nominate a director candidate?

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations of director candidates. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a director candidate to our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for nomination by our Board of Directors at our next annual meeting, or for vacancies on our Board of Directors that arise between meetings, must provide our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee with sufficient written documentation to permit a determination by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board of Directors as to whether such candidate meets the required and desired director selection criteria set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the factors discussed under the heading “Criteria for Membership on Our Board of Directors” above. Such documentation and the name of the director candidate must be sent by U.S. mail to our Corporate Secretary at Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, MN 55435, no later than February 22, 2023. Our Corporate Secretary will send properly submitted shareholder recommendations to the Chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration at a future committee meeting.

Director candidates recommended by shareholders in compliance with these procedures and who meet the criteria outlined above will be evaluated by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in the same manner as nominees proposed by other sources.

Alternatively, shareholders may directly nominate a person for election to our Board of Directors at a future annual meeting by complying with the procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated By-laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Our Amended and Restated By-laws are available on our website at www.apog.com by clicking on “Investors,” select “Governance,” then “By-laws.”

Shareholders who wish to nominate a director candidate for the 2023 Annual Meeting should submit the advance notice, along with other required information, to our Corporate Secretary at Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, MN 55435, no later than February 22, 2023.

For contested director elections held after August 31, 2022, both the Company and dissident shareholders presenting their own candidates will distribute universal proxy cards that include all director candidates. To comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director candidates other than the Company’s candidates must provide advance notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to our Corporate Secretary at Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, MN 55435, no later than April 24, 2023.

How can I present a proposal at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?

Any shareholder wishing to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must submit the proposal in writing to our Corporate Secretary at Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 4400 West 78th Street, Suite 520, Minneapolis, MN 55435 in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14a-8, no later than January 9, 2023.

Under our Amended and Restated By-laws, a shareholder proposal not included in our proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is untimely and may not be presented in any manner at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders unless the shareholder wishing to make the proposal follows the notice procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated By-laws. Any such shareholder proposals for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be in the form and substance required by the Amended and Restated By-laws and must be submitted to our Corporate Secretary at the address indicated on the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders no later than February 22, 2023.

What is “householding” of proxy materials?

The SEC rules allow a single copy of the proxy statement and Annual Report to Shareholders to be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing the same address and last name, or who we reasonably believe are members of the same family, and who consent to receive a single copy of these materials in a manner provided by these rules. This practice is referred to as “householding” and can result in significant savings of paper and mailing costs. Although we do not household for our registered shareholders, some brokers’ household Apogee notices, proxy statements and annual reports, delivering single copies of such documents to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of our proxy statement and annual report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of documents and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker. We will promptly deliver upon written or oral request a separate copy of our proxy statement and/or Annual Report to Shareholders to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any such document was delivered. For copies of these documents, shareholders should write to our Investor Relations Department at the address listed above, or call (877) 752-3432.
