Q:	Why did I receive these materials?

The Board of the Company is soliciting your proxy to vote at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (or at any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting).

Householding. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules permit us to print an individual’s multiple accounts on a single set of annual meeting materials. To take advantage of this opportunity, we have summarized on one set of annual meeting materials all of the accounts registered with the same tax identification number or duplicate name and address, unless we received contrary instructions from the impacted shareholder prior to the mailing date. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the annual meeting materials, as requested, to any shareholder to which a single copy of those documents was delivered. If you prefer to receive separate copies of the annual meeting materials, contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at 1-866-540-7095 or in writing at Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

If you are a shareholder as of the Record Date and have logged in using your 16-digit control number, you may type questions into the dialog box provided at any point during the Annual Meeting (until the floor is closed to questions). The audio broadcast of the Annual Meeting will be archived at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/JBI2023 for at least one year.

If you are not a shareholder as of the Record Date or do not log in using your 16-digit control number, you may still listen to the Annual Meeting, but will not be able to ask questions or vote at the Annual Meeting.

Q:	Why is the Annual Meeting virtual only?

We are excited to embrace the latest technology to provide ease of access, real-time communication, and cost savings for the Company and its shareholders. Hosting a virtual meeting makes it easy for the Company and its shareholders to participate from any location around the world.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:	What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals, and how are the votes counted?

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

A plurality of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to elect each nominee named herein. This means that the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected, even if those votes do not constitute a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not impact the election of the nominees.

ALL OTHER PROPOSALS

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve all other items. Abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the proposals and will therefore have the effect of a negative vote. We do not expect there to be any broker non-votes with respect to the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2023.

Q:	When will the results of the vote be announced?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the virtual Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting.

Q:	What is the deadline for submitting a shareholder proposal or director nomination for the 2024 Annual Meeting?

Shareholder proposals pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024, must be received by the Company at our principal executive offices at 135 Janus International Blvd., Temple, GA 30179, Attn: General Counsel no later than February 17, 2024. Shareholders wishing to make a director nomination or bring a proposal before the annual meeting to be held in 2024 (but not include it in the Company’s proxy materials) must provide written notice of such proposal to the General Counsel at the Company’s principal executive offices no later than the close of business on March 18, 2024 and not earlier than the close of business on February 16, 2024, assuming the Company does not change the date of the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders by more than 30 days before or after the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Meeting. If so, the Company will release an updated time frame for shareholder proposals. Any shareholder proposal or director nomination must comply with the other provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and be submitted in writing to the General Counsel at the Company’s principal executive offices. In addition to the requirements under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules (once applicable), shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees, other than the Company’s nominees, must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 17, 2024.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which is currently composed of nine directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (our “Certificate”) provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board. Our Certificate also provides that our Board will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. At each annual meeting of shareholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the class whose term is then expiring.

Board and Culture

Our Board is fully engaged, provides informed and meaningful guidance and feedback, and maintains an open dialogue with management based on a clear understanding of our strategic plans. At each Board meeting, we review components of our long-term strategy with our directors and engage in constructive dialogue, which our leadership team embraces. Our directors have access to our officers and employees to address questions, comments, or concerns. Additionally, the Board and Committees have the power to hire independent legal, financial or other advisors without approval from, or consultation with, Janus management.

Our Board also takes an active role in ensuring we embrace “best practices” in corporate governance. The partnership and oversight of a strong and multi-faceted Board with diverse perspectives rooted in deep experience in global business, finance, operations, and strategy are essential to creating long-term shareholder value.

The following table sets forth the director class, name, age as of May 1, 2023, and other information for each member of our Board:

Director Qualifications and Skills

We believe that in order for our Board to effectively guide us to long-term sustainable, dependable performance, it should be composed of individuals with sophistication and experience in the many disciplines that impact our business. In order to best serve our shareholders, we seek to have a Board, as a whole, that is competent in key corporate disciplines, including accounting and financial acumen, business judgment, crisis management, governance, leadership, people management, risk management, social responsibility, reputational issues, strategy and strategic planning. Additionally, we desire that the Board have specific knowledge related to our industry, such as expertise in manufacturing, self-storage, commercial, and industrial building solutions, access controls, and related automation technologies. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that all directors must, at a minimum, meet the criteria set forth in the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics and the Corporate Governance Guidelines, which specify, among other things, that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider criteria such as qualifications, qualities, skills, and other expertise in the context of the needs of the Board. In addressing issues of diversity in particular, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a nominee’s differences in gender, ethnicity, tenure, skills and experience. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints is a key attribute for a director nominee. While we currently do not have a formal policy on diversity, when considering the selection of director nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers individuals with diverse viewpoints, accomplishments, cultural background, professional expertise, and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

diversity in gender, ethnicity, race, skills and geographic representation, that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of our shareholders. Further, our Board is committed to seeking qualified women and individuals from underrepresented minority groups to include in the pool from which new candidates are selected. Currently, of the nine directors on our Board, the Chairman and the one other independent director are each of Latino descent. Additionally, one independent director identifies as female. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also will consider a combination of factors for each director, including some or all of the following:

•	the nominee’s ability to represent all shareholders without a conflict of interest,

•	the nominee’s ability to work in and promote a productive environment and corporate culture that promotes compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the ethical conduct of the Company’s business,

•	whether the nominee has sufficient time and willingness to fulfill the substantial duties and responsibilities of a director,

•	whether the nominee has demonstrated the high level of character, ethics, and integrity expected by the Company,

•	whether the nominee possesses the broad professional and leadership experience and skills necessary to effectively respond to the complex issues encountered by a publicly traded company,

•	the nominee’s ability to apply sound and independent business judgment,

•	the diverse attributes of the nominee, such as differences in background, qualifications, and personal characteristics, and

•	other attributes that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider in the exercise of its judgment.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has determined that all of our directors meet the criteria and qualifications set forth in the Company’s Code of Ethics, the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the criteria set forth above for director nominees. Moreover, each director possesses the following critical personal qualities and attributes that we believe are essential for the proper functioning of the Board to allow it to fulfill its duties for our shareholders including accountability, ethical leadership, governance, integrity, risk management, and sound business judgment. In addition, our directors have the confidence to assess and challenge the way things are done and recommend alternative solutions, a keen awareness of our business and social realities of the environment in which we operate, the independence and high-performance standards necessary to fulfill the Board’s oversight function, and the humility, professional maturity, and style to interface openly and constructively with other directors. Finally, the director biographies below include a non-exclusive list of other key experiences and qualifications that further qualify the individual to serve on the Board. These collective qualities, skills, experiences, and attributes are essential to our Board’s ability to exercise its oversight function for the Company and its shareholders, and guide the long-term sustainable, dependable performance of the Company.

Subject to any earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of our Certificate and bylaws, our Class II directors will serve until this Annual Meeting of shareholders, our Class III directors will serve until the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024, and our Class I directors will serve until the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025. In addition, our Certificate provides that our directors may be removed only for cause upon the affirmative vote of at least 66²∕3% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. In addition, our Certificate provides that, subject to the rights granted to one or more series of preferred stock then outstanding, any newly created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

Investor Rights Agreement

In connection with the closing of our business combination on June 7, 2021 (the “Business Combination”) with Juniper Industrial Holdings, Inc. (“JIH”), we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (“Clearlake”), certain shareholders of JIH and certain

TABLE OF CONTENTS

former shareholders of Janus Midco, LLC with respect to the shares of Janus common stock issued as partial consideration under the Business Combination Agreement, dated April 6, 2021, by and among JIH, Janus and the other parties named therein (the “Business Combination Agreement”). The Investor Rights Agreement includes certain rights granted to Clearlake, among other things, such as the right to nominate four Board members (each, a “Clearlake Director”) and one Board observer to the Board, subject to certain step down provisions. Clearlake will retain these nomination rights until, in the case of Clearlake Director nomination rights, it no longer beneficially owns at least 10% of the total voting power of the then outstanding shares of Janus common stock.

Shareholder Recommendations for Director Nominees

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider shareholder nominations for membership on the Board. For the 2024 Annual Meeting, nominations may be submitted to 135 Janus International Blvd., Temple, GA 30179, Attn: General Counsel, and such nominations will then be forwarded to the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Recommendations must be in writing, and we must receive the recommendation no later than the close of business on March 18, 2024 and not earlier than the close of business on February 16, 2024, assuming the Company does not change the date of the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders by more than 30 days before or after the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Meeting. If so, the Company will release an updated time frame for shareholder proposals. Any shareholder proposal or director nomination must comply with the other provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and be submitted in writing to the General Counsel at the Company’s principal executive offices. In addition to the requirements under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules (once applicable), shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees, other than the Company’s nominees, must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 17, 2024. The table below is a summary of the range of qualifications and skills that each director brings to the Board. The table does not include all of the qualifications that each director offers, and the fact that a particular experience, skill, or qualification is not checked for a specific director does not mean that the director does not possess it.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is considering candidates to a vacancy in Class II that will exist following our 2023 Annual Meeting as a result of Mr. Cook’s determination not to stand for re-election and may make recommendations to the Board to appoint a director to fill the vacancy. When filling a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies the desired skills and experience of a new director and nominates individuals who it believes can strengthen the Board’s capabilities and further diversify the collective experience represented by the then-current directors.

On April 13, 2023, Brian Cook notified the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that he would not be standing for re-election as a director at this upcoming Annual Meeting. Mr. Cook has served as (i) a director of our Board since we became a public company pursuant to the Business Combination in June 2021 and (ii) a member of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee since August 2021. No disagreement with us related to our operations, policies or practices caused, in whole or in part, Mr. Cook’s determination not to stand for re-election.

Independence Status

Director independence is determined in accordance with the listing standards of the various securities exchanges as well as by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a significant majority of the Board and all of the members of the Audit and Compensation Committees must be independent from management and must meet all of the applicable criteria for independence established by NYSE and the SEC. Our Board makes an annual determination of the independence of each director. No director may be deemed independent unless the Board determines that neither the director nor any of the director’s immediate family members has a material relationship with Janus, directly or as an officer, shareholder or partner of an organization that has a material relationship with Janus.

Our Board has determined that all of our non-employee directors meet the requirements to be independent directors under NYSE listing standards. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that our Board deemed relevant in determining independence, including beneficial ownership of our common stock, and the transactions involving them described in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

In addition, our Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent and that Audit Committee members as well as Compensation Committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 and Rule 10C-1, respectively, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

As a result of the above mentioned determinations, we currently comply with all independence requirements under NYSE listing standards.

Board Meetings and Committees

For the year ended December 31, 2022, our Board held four regular meetings and one special meeting. During 2022, the Audit Committee held eight regular meetings, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held four regular meetings and one special meeting, and the Compensation Committee held four regular meetings. Our directors are expected to attend the annual meeting of shareholders and all or substantially all of the Board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve. In 2022, each incumbent director attended at least 80% of the meetings of the Board during such director’s tenure and the total number of meetings held by any of the committees of the Board on which the director served including 100% attendance for each director nominated for reelection at this upcoming 2023 Annual Meeting.

Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees are as set forth below. In the future, our Board may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist it with its responsibilities.

Board and Committee Self-Evaluations

As part of the Board’s commitment to good governance, the Board conducts an annual process to assess the effectiveness of the full Board and the operations of its Committees. The Nominating and Governance Committee will oversee the evaluation of the Board as a whole and its Committees and solicit feedback from directors as to whether the Board is continuing to evolve and to be refreshed in a manner that serves our business and strategic needs. After distribution of the self-evaluation materials to directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee will receive comments from all directors and report to the Board, identifying areas for improvement in the performance of the Board and its Committees. The Company’s General Counsel facilitated the evaluation process in 2021 and 2022.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will annually review the scope and content of the self-evaluation to ensure it is contemporary, appropriate for the needs of the Company, and that actionable feedback is solicited on the operation and effectiveness of the Board and its Committees. Before recommending the re-nomination of a slate of incumbent directors for an additional term, the Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate whether incumbent directors possess the requisite skills and perspective, both individually and collectively, to continue to serve our business and strategic needs. This assessment will include members’ qualification as independent, strength of character, judgment, and ability to devote sufficient time to attendance at, and preparation for, Board meetings.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The following section describes our Board leadership structure, the reasons our Board considers that this structure is appropriate at this time, the roles of various positions, and related key governance practices. Our Board believes that the mix of experienced independent, Clearlake-affiliated, and management directors that make up our Board, our Board committee composition, and the separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer benefit the Company and its shareholders.

Independence

Our Board has an effective mix of independent and management directors. Our Board includes our Chief Executive Officer and eight independent directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

With respect to the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the roles may be separated or combined, and the Board will exercise its discretion in combining or separating these positions as it deems appropriate in light of prevailing circumstances. Currently, the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer are separated, with Mr. Feliciano serving as Chairman and Mr. Jackson, as Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that separating the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at this time is the most effective leadership structure because it allows Mr. Jackson to focus on the management of the Company and day-to-day operations as the Company continues to establish itself as a public company and allows Mr. Feliciano to leverage his strong background to provide strategic guidance and effective oversight of management.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that at times when the Board has not elected a Chairman or the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are combined resulting in the Chairman not being independent, it would be beneficial to the Company to designate one of the directors as a lead independent director, and that such designation will be reviewed by the Board from time to time. Given the current separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at this time, the Board has not appointed a lead independent director.

Management Succession

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to Chief Executive Officer compensation and evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives. The Compensation Committee recommends to the Board the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation level or changes to such level based on the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and any other factors the Committee deems relevant. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board on succession planning periodically. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates potential successors to the Chief Executive Officer and other officers, which are subject to approval by the Board. The Chief Executive Officer or other officer will, as applicable, make available his or her recommendations and evaluations of potential successors, along with a review of any development plans recommended for such individuals.

Hedging Transactions

Pursuant to our Insider Trading Policy, we prohibit our employees, directors, and officers from engaging in hedging transactions, including the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. Such hedging transactions may permit a director, officer, or employee to continue to own Company Securities obtained through employee benefit plans or otherwise, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the director, officer or employee may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other shareholders. Additionally, directors, officers, and other employees are prohibited from holding our securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

Risk Oversight

Our Board oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk oversight, designed to support the achievement of organizational objectives, to improve long-term organizational performance, and to enhance shareholder value. A fundamental part of risk oversight is not only understanding the most significant risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for a given company. The involvement of our full Board in reviewing our business is an integral aspect of its assessment of the Company’s risk profile and also its determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk.

While our full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, it has delegated primary oversight of certain risks to its committees. Our Audit Committee oversees our Enterprise Risk Management program on behalf of our Board. Among its other responsibilities, it monitors our major financial and cybersecurity risk exposures, and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. Our Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and management provides our Audit

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Committee periodic reports on our compliance programs. Our Compensation Committee oversees the design and implementation of our compensation policies and programs and monitors the incentives created by these policies and programs to determine whether they encourage excessive risk-taking. Our Compensation Committee also assesses the relationship between risk management policies and practices and compensation, and evaluates compensation policies and practices that could mitigate any such risk. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees our major corporate governance risks, including comprehending the appropriate balance between risks and rewards.

Enterprise Risk Management Program

In connection with its reviews of the operations of our business, our full Board addresses the primary risks associated with our business, such as strategic planning. Our Board appreciates the evolving nature of our business and industry and is actively involved with monitoring new threats and risks as they emerge.

We are committed to ensuring our Board and its committees are consistently updated on threats to our business and receive consistent updates on risk mitigation processes. At periodic meetings of our Board and its committees, management reports to and seeks guidance from our Board and its committees with respect to the most significant risks that could affect our business, such as legal risks, cybersecurity and privacy risks, and financial, tax and audit related risks.

As a part of its overall risk management strategy, the Company has implemented an Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) program to identify and monitor key risks. The ERM program is designed to identify, assess, and monitor management of key risks that are aligned with the Company’s strategic and business objectives. The ERM program is overseen and governed by the Audit Committee and managed by members of senior management. Working with the ERM program management team, the Board and the Audit Committee regularly assess the overall risks applicable to the Company, its businesses and functions as well as management action plans to mitigate or minimize the risks identified, providing the Audit Committee and the full Board with visibility into the risks that impact us and the plans to mitigate them.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The Code is available on our website at https://ir.janusintl.com/governance/governance-documents. We intend to disclose any amendments to the Code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the Board or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for our Chief Executive Officer, and our two other most highly compensated executive officers as of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and our former Chief Financial Officer, whom we refer to as our “named executive officers.” The applicable named executive officers and their positions were as follows:

Additional Narrative Disclosure

Retirement Benefits

We do not have a U.S. defined benefit pension plan or nonqualified deferred compensation plan. We currently maintain a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan intended to provide benefits under Section 401(k) of the Code, pursuant to which employees, including the named executive officers, may elect to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis and have it contributed to the plan subject to applicable annual limits under the Code, as amended. Pre-tax contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account. We have the option to make discretionary employer matching and/or non-elective contributions to all participants. Employee elective deferrals are 100% vested at all times. As a U.S. tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan and all contributions are deductible by us when made.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites

Health/Welfare Plans. All of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including:

•	medical, dental, and vision benefits;

•	medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts or health savings account;

•	short-term and long-term disability insurance; and

No Tax Gross-Ups. We did not make any gross-up payments in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 to cover our named executive officer’s personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation or perquisites paid or provided by our company. The Company does not intend to make any tax gross-up payments now or in the future.

Treatment of Equity Awards

Treatment of PSUs

Except as set forth below, in the event of a termination of employment for any reason, PSUs held by the named executive officer that have not yet been settled will generally be cancelled and forfeited as of the termination date for no consideration.

In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the end of the performance period and the PSUs are not assumed, any unvested PSUs will automatically vest upon a Change in Control in an amount equal to the greater of the Target PSUs (as defined in the award agreement) and the portion of the Target PSUs that would have vested based on actual achievement of the Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the award agreement) if the performance period ended as of the Change of Control.

Treatment of Options

In the event of a Change in Control, any unvested Options held by our named executive officers that have not been assumed will automatically vest and the Compensation Committee may in its sole discretion extend the duration of the exercisability of the Option through any date prior to the Final Expiration Date (as defined in the applicable award agreement).

Generally, the RPT Policy applies to any transaction in which Janus or its subsidiaries are a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related party has a direct or indirect material interest.

The Audit Committee then reviews the material facts and circumstances regarding a transaction and determines whether or not the transaction is fair and reasonable and consistent with the RPT Policy. Under the RPT Policy, any related party transaction must be submitted for prior approval where reasonably possible or, if not approved in advance, submitted for ratification. The RPT Policy is in addition to the provisions addressing conflicts of interest in our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and any similar policies regarding conflicts of interest adopted by the Board.

The Investor Rights Agreement includes, among other things, the following provisions:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of May 1, 2023 for:

•	each person or group known to us who beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock;

•	each of our directors;

•	each of our Named Executive Officers; and

•	all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The numbers of shares of common stock beneficially owned and percentages of beneficial ownership are based on 146,744,164 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 1, 2023.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Common stock subject to options or RSUs that are currently exercisable or will vest within 60 days of May 1, 2023 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options or RSUs.

PROPOSAL 2 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 30, 2023. Services provided to the Company and its subsidiaries by BDO USA, LLP for the year ended December 31, 2022 are described below and under “Audit Committee Report.”

Fees and Services

The following table summarizes the aggregate fees for professional audit services and other services rendered by BDO USA, LLP for the years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022:

	2022	2021
Audit Fees⁽¹⁾	$1,888,242	$1,761,272
Audit-Related Fees⁽²⁾	$108,524	$177,000
Tax Fees	$—	$—
All Other Fees	$26,270	$—
Total	$2,023,036	$1,938,272

(1)

Audit fees consist of the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for professional services rendered for (i) the audit of annual financial statements, (ii) reviews of our quarterly financial statements, (iii) statutory audits, (iv) research necessary to comply with generally accepted accounting principles and (v) other filings with the SEC, including consents and comfort letters.

(2)	Audit-related fees principally include due diligence fees in connection with acquisitions.

In considering the nature of the services provided by the independent auditor, the Audit Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with the independent auditor and the Company’s management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit services as well as non-audit services to the extent required by the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. Each year, the Audit Committee will pre-approve audit services, audit-related services, and tax services to be used by the Company.

The Audit Committee approved all services provided by BDO USA, LLP. Representatives of BDO USA, LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and we expect that they will be available to respond to questions.

Ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP requires affirmative votes from the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. If the Company’s shareholders do not ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment and may affirm the appointment or retain another independent accounting firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may in the future replace BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm if it is determined that it is in the Company’s best interests to do so.

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF BDO USA, LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 30, 2023.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of Janus’s filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act that might incorporate by reference this Proxy Statement, in whole or in part, the following report shall not be incorporated by reference into any such filings.

The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process and Enterprise Risk Management program on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on the Investors page of our website, https://ir.janusintl.com/, under the “Governance” tab. This report reviews the actions taken by the Audit Committee with regard to our financial reporting process during fiscal year 2022 and particularly with regard to the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022.

The Audit Committee is composed solely of independent directors. None of the committee members is or has been an officer or employee of the Company or any of our subsidiaries or has any current business or any family relationship with the Company or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates.

Our management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. The independent auditors (BDO USA, LLP) are responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes and to select annually the accountants to serve as our independent auditors for the coming year.

The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to fulfill its oversight responsibilities under the Audit Committee’s charter.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including a discussion of the quality, rather than just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed the Enterprise Risk Management program and discussed with management the relevant enterprise risk management policies and procedures.

The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited consolidated financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, their judgments as to the quality, rather than just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the auditors their independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of services during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 by the auditors that were unrelated to their audit of the consolidated financial statements referred to above and to their reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements during the fiscal year is compatible with maintaining their independence.

Additionally, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the overall scope and plan for their audit. The Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination, their observations on our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of BDO USA, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and have recommended that shareholders ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2023.
