IES INCORPORATED | 2025 Proxy Statement |     | 23 |

Corporate Governance(continued) as setting an appropriate level of risk taking for the Company. We also believe the Company’s internal legal and financial controls appropriately mitigate the probability and potential impact of an individual employee committing the Company to a harmful long-term business transaction in exchange for short-term compensation benefits. In light of these features of our compensation program and these additional controls, our management and our Personnel and Compensation Committee have concluded that the risks arising from our employee compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Hedging and Pledging Policy Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits short sales of our stock, buying or selling put or call options on our stock, holding our stock in a margin account, pledging our stock as collateral for a loan, or entering into hedging or monetization transactions with respect to our stock, in each case without prior advance approval from our Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary (no such advance approvals were granted to directors or named executives in 2024). The foregoing prohibitions apply to our directors, executive officers and any employee who participates in our stock option and restricted stock unit programs. Board Evaluation Process Every year the Board and each standing committee of the Board assesses its performance. The evaluation process is overseen by the Nominating and Governance Committee and involves separate interviews of each director by internal counsel to solicit feedback on several issues, including:

| • |     | Board and committee effectiveness, size, composition and frequency of meetings; |

| • |     | director access to management and the sufficiency and timeliness of information provided by management; |

| • |     | sufficiency of processes for risk oversight; |

| • |     | whether directors possess appropriate experience and backgrounds; and |

| • |     | whether each director contributes to the effectiveness of the Board. |

The results are summarized by the Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary and discussed by the Board and each committee in executive session. In addition to providing an opportunity for directors to discuss a wide range of governance-related topics, the evaluation process is used by the Board and each committee to identify opportunities for improvement, make changes to the committee charters, processes and policies, and is linked to our Board’s succession planning activities. Communications with the Board Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that any interested parties desiring to communicate with our non-managementdirectors, including our lead director, may contact them
