(d) Election of New Director

On October 2, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Mark A. Pompa, 53, to serve as a Class III director for a term expiring at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Pompa was also appointed to the Board’s Audit Committee and, was determined by the Board to be, an audit committee financial expert. The Board also determined that Mr. Pompa is independent and meets the applicable director independence requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and the Company’s director independence standards, as adopted by the Board. In connection with the election of Mr. Pompa, the Board increased the number of directors of the Company from nine to ten pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws.

Mr. Pompa has served since 2006 as executive vice president and chief financial officer of EMCOR Group, Inc., a Fortune 500 company providing mechanical and electrical construction services, and industrial and energy infrastructure and building services. Previously, he was senior vice president and chief accounting officer of EMCOR from 2003 to 2006, and treasurer from 2003 to 2007. He joined EMCOR in 1994, serving as vice president and controller until 2003. Prior to joining EMCOR, Mr. Pompa was an audit and business advisory manager at Arthur Andersen LLP.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Pompa and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Pompa was elected as a director. For his service as a non-employee member of the Board, Mr. Pompa will participate in the non-employee director compensation arrangements in effect during his service. Mr. Pompa will receive the current annual cash retainers of $60,000 for service as a director and $15,000 for service as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board. On October 2, 2018, in connection with Mr. Pompa’s election to the Board, Mr. Pompa received a time-based restricted stock unit award consisting of 1,768 shares of the Company’s common stock, which will vest in three equal annual installments, assuming he continues to serve as a director, on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The issuance of the shares of common stock in connection with the restricted stock units will be deferred. The restricted stock units were issued pursuant to the Company’s 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 2, 2018 was $40.29. Mr. Pompa will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Charitable Matching Contributions Program for Non-Employee Directors, each as described under the heading “Non-Employee Director Compensation” in the Company’s proxy statement delivered in connection with its 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2018. There are no related person transactions involving Mr. Pompa that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Pompa does not have any familial relationship with any director or other executive officer of the Company or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.
