Foster” or the “Company”), and each of the persons listed on Exhibit A hereto (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors” or the “Investor Group”). The Company and each of the Investors are each herein referred to as a “party” and collectively, the “parties”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings given to them in Section 12 herein.
WHEREAS, each of the Investors beneficially owns the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), listed on Exhibit A hereto; and
WHEREAS, the Company has reached an agreement with each of the Investors with respect to certain matters as provided in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Board Observer.
(a)Effective immediately upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as requested by the Investor Group, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and any applicable committees of the Board shall take all actions necessary to invite and appoint Alexander B. Jones to serve as a non-voting observer to the Board (the “Board Observer”). The Board Observer shall be entitled to attend, participate in discussions, and provide input at any portion of Board meetings and meetings of any Board committee (including via telephone, videoconference, or other electronic medium) at which business operations, financial results, capital allocation, investor communications, shareholder value enhancement initiatives, strategic transactions, acquisitions, dispositions and/or any other material corporate transactions are discussed (any of the foregoing topics, an “Approved Topic,” and all such topics collectively, the “Approved Topics”), in a non-voting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall (except to the extent that the Board Observer has been excluded therefrom pursuant to clause (d) below) receive copies of the applicable portion of such notices, minutes, consents, and other materials and information relating to an Approved Topic or the Approved Topics (the “Relevant Materials and Information”) that the Company provides to the directors on the applicable committees and/or the Board at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors.
(b)In no event shall the Board Observer: (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board or any committee; (ii) be counted for purposes of voting, quorum, or any other reason; (iii) have the right to vote on any matter under consideration by the Board or any committee or otherwise have any power to cause the Company to take, or not to take, any action; or (iv) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or its shareholders or any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) otherwise applicable to the directors of the Company.
(c)If a meeting of the Board or any of the committees relating to an Approved Topic is conducted via telephone, videoconference, or other electronic medium, the Board Observer may attend the portion of such meeting at which an Approved Topic is to be discussed via the same medium; provided, however, that it shall be a material breach of this Agreement by the Board Observer to provide any other person access to such meeting without the Company’s express prior written consent.
(d)The Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude the Board Observer from any meeting or portion thereof of the Board or any committee thereof (i) where an Approved Topic is not intended to be discussed, (ii) if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, violate any agreement between the Company and a third-party, violate any applicable law or regulation, or result in the disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest, if any Investor, the Board Observer, or any of
1

their respective Affiliates is or becomes a competitor of the Company, or (iii) if such meeting or portion thereof is an executive session of the Board; provided, however, that no binding actions are taken or submitted to the Board with respect to an Approved Topic at any such executive sessions under this clause (iii).
(e)The Board Observer may be replaced or removed (with or without cause) from time to time and at any time by the Investor Group upon written notice to the Company; provided, however, that any replacement Board Observer shall be reasonably acceptable to the Board (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).
(f)The covenants set forth in this Section 1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect immediately on the earliest of (i) the expiration of the Standstill Period, (ii) the date at which the Investor Group no longer owns at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) the date at which the Investor Group provides written notice to the Company of its voluntary termination of its right to appoint a Board Observer.
2.Voting. At each annual or special meeting of shareholders held prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period, each of the Investors agrees to (i) appear at such shareholders’ meeting or otherwise cause all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Investor and their respective Affiliates and Associates to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum; and (ii) vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Investor and their respective Affiliates and Associates on the Company’s proxy card or voting instruction form in favor of (a) each of the directors nominated by the Board and recommended by the Board in the election of directors (and not in favor of any other nominees to serve on the Board), and (b) each of the other shareholder proposals listed on the Company’s proxy card or voting instruction form as identified in the Company’s proxy statement in accordance with the Board’s recommendations; provided, however, in the event that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc.

It is understood that (i) Recipient may disclose Confidential Information only to those of Recipient’s Representatives who are informed by Recipient of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the obligations of this Section 4, and (ii) Recipient shall be responsible for the breach of the provisions of this Section 4 by Recipient’s Representatives. To the extent that any Recipient or its Representative is requested, required, or compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by judicial, regulatory, or administrative process pursuant to the advice of counsel or by requirements of law, the Recipient shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide the Company with (i) prompt notice to any such requested, required, or compelled disclosure to enable to the Company, at its sole expense, to seek a protective order or similar remedy, and (ii) reasonable cooperation, at the Company’s sole expense, with respect to any effort by the Company to seek a protective order or similar remedy. Upon written request of the Company or the Board, the Recipient shall promptly return or destroy, at the Recipient’s option, any and all records, notes, and other written, printed, or tangible materials in its possession pertaining to the Confidential Information; provided, however, that each Recipient and its Representatives may retain any electronic or written copies of Confidential Information as may be stored on its electronic records or storage system resulting from automated back-up systems or required by law, other regulatory requirements, or internal document retention policies. Any Confidential Information that is not returned or destroyed, including, without limitation, any oral Confidential Information, and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, or other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Recipient from such information, will remain subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Investors shall be liable for any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information by its or the Board Observer’s respective Representatives. Notwithstanding Section 30 of this Agreement, each Recipient’s obligations under this
5

Section 4 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (i) eighteen (18) months after the date the Recipient received the last of such Confidential Information and (ii) eighteen (18) months after the date on which the Board Observer no longer serves as a non-voting observer to the Board (such earlier date, the “Confidentiality Termination Date”).
(b)All Confidential Information is provided to the Recipient “as is” and the Company does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any component thereof. The Company will have no liability to the Recipient resulting from the reliance on the Confidential Information. The Recipient acknowledges that all of the Confidential Information is owned solely by the Company (or its licensors) and that the unauthorized disclosure or use of such Confidential Information would cause irreparable harm and significant injury, the degree of which may be difficult to ascertain.

(c)As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all information or data concerning the Company, whether in verbal, visual, written, electronic, or other form, which is disclosed to any Investor or the Board Observer by the Company or any Representative of the Company (including, but not limited to, all Relevant Materials and Information that is non-public information); provided, however, that “Confidential Information” shall not include information that:
(i)is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure of such information by the Investor Group, the Board Observer, or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Section 4;
(ii)is independently developed by the Investor Group, the Board Observer, or any of their respective Representatives, without use of the Confidential Information provided by the Company or any Representative thereof;
(iii)becomes available to an Investor, the Board Observer, or any of their respective Representatives at any time on a non-confidential basis from a third party that is not, to such recipient’s knowledge, prohibited from disclosing such information to such recipient by any contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation to the Company; or
(iv)was known by the Investor Group, the Board Observer, or any of their respective Representatives prior to receipt from the Company or from any Representative thereof and, to such recipient’s knowledge, the source of such information was not prohibited from disclosing such information to such recipient by any contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation to the Company.
(d)The Company agrees that, following the Effective Date and prior to the Confidentiality Termination Date, the Company shall promptly (and in any event, no later than the time that the Company’s directors are notified) notify the Investor Group in writing as to the (i) opening of a trading window during which time all directors of the Company are permitted to trade in the Company’s securities and (ii) institution of a blackout period during which time all directors of the Company are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities.
(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company acknowledges that the Investors and their Affiliates’ businesses include the analysis of, and investment in, securities, instruments, businesses and assets, and Confidential Information may serve to give such persons a deeper overall knowledge and understanding in a way that cannot be separated from their other knowledge, and accordingly, and without in any way limiting the Investors’ obligations under this Agreement, the Company acknowledges that this Agreement is not intended to restrict the use of such overall knowledge and understanding solely for internal investment analysis purposes, including, subject to applicable law, the purchase, sale, consideration of, and decisions related to, other investments. Subject to applicable law, nothing in this Agreement shall be understood to prohibit or otherwise limit the Investors from negotiating, evaluating and/or trading, directly or indirectly, in any index fund, exchange traded fund, benchmark fund, or other basket of securities which may contain or otherwise reflect the performance of any securities of the Company. Further, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and
6

subject to applicable law (and assuming Confidential Information is not improperly used in violation of this Agreement, taking into account this Section 4), none of the Investors nor any of their Representatives shall be deemed by the Company to be misappropriating any information, or violating any other duty or obligation to the Company, if such Investor or any of its Representatives, either directly or for the account of other accounts that such Investor or Representative manages, engage in transactions in the securities or other financial instruments (such as bank debt) of any person other than the Company while in possession of Confidential Information.
5.Acknowledgment of Obligations under Securities Laws. The Investor Group, the Board Observer, and their respective Representatives acknowledge that each is aware of the restrictions imposed by the United States federal securities laws and other applicable foreign and domestic laws (collectively, the “Securities Laws”) on a person possessing material nonpublic information about a publicly traded company, including, but not limited to, restrictions that prohibit such person from purchasing or selling securities of such company, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. Each of the Investors and the Board Observer acknowledge that Confidential Information shared by the Company or its Representatives with the Investors, the Board Observer and/or their respective Representatives may include information regarding material acquisition activity by the Company, and that any such information so shared or exchanged shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein and may constitute material non-public information with respect to United States securities laws.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Sentences containing words such as “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “expect,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” or their negatives, or other similar expressions of a future or forward-looking nature generally should be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this release are based
16

on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events that involve inherent risks and uncertainties and may concern, among other things, L.B. Foster Company’s (the “Company’s”) expectations relating to our strategy, goals, projections, and plans regarding our financial position, liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations and decisions regarding our strategic growth initiatives, market position, and product development. While the Company considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company cautions readers that various factors could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Among the factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties related to: the COVID-19 pandemic, and any future global health crises, and the related social, regulatory, and economic impacts and the response thereto by the Company, our employees, our customers, and national, state, or local governments; volatility in the prices of oil and natural gas and the related impact on the midstream energy markets, which could result in cost mitigation actions, including shutdowns or furlough periods; a continuation or worsening of the adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve, including recession, whether as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, including its impact on labor markets and supply chains, macroeconomic factors, including the impact of inflation and pricing pressures, travel and demand for oil and gas, the continued volatility in the prices for oil and gas, governmental travel restrictions, project delays, and budget shortfalls, or otherwise; volatility in the global capital markets, including interest rate fluctuations, which could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets on terms that are favorable to us; restrictions on our ability to draw on our credit agreement, including as a result of any future inability to comply with restrictive covenants contained therein; a continuing decrease in freight or transit rail traffic, including as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, strikes, or labor stoppages; environmental matters, including any costs associated with any remediation and monitoring of such matters; the risk of doing business in international markets, including compliance with anti-corruption and bribery laws, foreign currency fluctuations, and trade restrictions or embargoes; our ability to effectuate our strategy, including cost reduction initiatives, and our ability to effectively integrate acquired businesses or to divest businesses, such as the recent dispositions of the Track Components, Piling, and IOS Test and Inspection businesses, and acquisitions of the Skratch Enterprises Ltd., Intelligent Video Ltd., and VanHooseCo Precast LLC businesses and to realize anticipated benefits; costs of and impacts associated with shareholder activism; continued customer restrictions regarding the on-site presence of third party providers due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the timeliness and availability of materials from our major suppliers, including any continuation or worsening of the disruptions in the supply chain experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact on our access to supplies of customer preferences as to the origin of such supplies, such as customers’ concerns about conflict minerals; labor disputes; cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, malware, ransomware, “hacking,” and identity theft, which could disrupt our business and may result in misuse or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary information, and could result in the disruption or damage to our systems, increased costs and losses, or an adverse effect to our reputation; the continuing effectiveness of our ongoing implementation of an enterprise resource planning system; changes in current accounting estimates and their ultimate outcomes; the adequacy of internal and external sources of funds to meet financing needs, including our ability to negotiate any additional necessary amendments to our credit agreement or the terms of any new credit agreement, and reforms regarding the use of SOFR as a benchmark for establishing applicable interest rates; the Company’s ability to manage its working capital requirements and indebtedness; domestic and international taxes, including estimates that may impact taxes; domestic and foreign government regulations, including tariffs; economic conditions and regulatory changes caused by the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; geopolitical conditions, including the conflict in Ukraine; a lack of state or federal funding for new infrastructure projects; an increase in manufacturing or material costs; the loss of future revenues from current customers; and risks inherent in litigation and the outcome of litigation and product warranty claims. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. Significant risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, and results of the Company’s business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, or as updated and amended by our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The forward-looking statements in this release are made as of the date of this release and we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by the federal securities laws.
