Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On March 5, 2025, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Janus International Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the payment of discretionary cash incentive bonuses to certain key employees of the Company, including Ramey Jackson, Chief Executive Officer, Anselm Wong, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Morgan Hodges, Executive Vice President, Vic Nettie, Vice President of Manufacturing, and Peter Frayser, Chief Commercial Officer in the amounts of $447,500, $205,031, $163,200, $151,763, and $71,100 (representing, 50%, or in the case of Mr. Frayser, 25%, of the executive’s target annual incentive amount for fiscal 2024 under the Company’s annual incentive plan, the Janus Bonus Program). Upon determining that the performance targets for fiscal 2024 had not been achieved and that annual incentive bonuses otherwise would not be payable for 2024 under the Janus Bonus Program, the Committee approved these discretionary incentive bonus payments in order to encourage the retention of its executive team, which has deep industry knowledge and expertise, recognize the executives’ contributions to the Company’s accomplishments in the challenging market environment of fiscal 2024, and motivate the executives to focus on executing on the Company’s business objectives for fiscal 2025.

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this communication are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to statements regarding Janus’s belief regarding the demand outlook for Janus’s products and the strength of the industrials markets. When used in this communication, words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would,” and other similar words and expressions or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions, as they relate to the management team, identify forward-looking statements.
