Are there any changes to compensation, equity grants, or retention incentives associated with the new appointment that could affect shareholder dilution?

Answer

Based on the information that was released in the Business Wire announcement (the only source you provided), there is no mention of any compensation changes, equity grants, or retention‑incentive arrangements tied to the new appointments of the Architectural Metals Segment presidents.

Why the answer is limited to “no information”

• Press‑release scope: Companies often issue a brief leadership‑announcement press release that focuses solely on the change in management. Details about the new president’s compensation package are typically disclosed later in a more comprehensive filing (e.g., a Form 8‑K, a proxy statement, or a 10‑Q) or in a separate compensation‑related press release.
• Regulatory filing requirement: If the appointment involved a material change to the executive compensation structure—especially if it included new equity awards that could dilute existing shareholders—Apogee Enterprises would be required to disclose that in a filing with the SEC (e.g., a Form 8‑K “Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure” or “Item 5.02 – Departure of Directors or Certain Officers”). The excerpt you provided does not reference any such filing.
• Typical practice: While many companies do grant new executives a mix of cash salary, annual bonuses, and long‑term equity awards (stock options, restricted‑stock units, performance‑share plans, etc.), the absence of any statement in this release means we cannot confirm whether Apogue Enterprises has done so for Troy Johnson or for the departing Nick Longman.

What you can do next to verify

1. Check recent SEC filings – Look for any Form 8‑K, 10‑Q, or 10‑K submitted by Apogee Enterprises around the August 7 2025 effective date. Those documents often contain:
   • Details of the new president’s employment agreement.
   • Any equity‑grant or retention‑incentive arrangements.
2. Review the company’s proxy statement (DEF 14A) – If the appointment is part of a broader board or executive compensation discussion, the proxy will list all equity‑based awards for senior officers.
3. Monitor subsequent press releases – Companies sometimes issue a follow‑up “Compensation Update” press release after the initial leadership announcement.
4. Contact Investor Relations – If you need a definitive answer quickly, Apogee Enterprises’ IR team can confirm whether any equity or retention awards were included in the new president’s employment terms.

Bottom line

• From the current press release alone: No compensation, equity‑grant, or retention‑incentive details are disclosed, so there is no evident impact on shareholder dilution.
• To be certain: Review the next set of SEC filings or a dedicated compensation announcement that the company may issue after this leadership change. Only those documents can confirm whether any share‑based awards (which could dilute existing shareholders) are part of the new president’s package.
