 of our stockholders. Governance HIGHLIGHTS We believe our corporate governance aligns with best practices and enhances the rights of our stockholders. We have a declassified Board, a majority voting standard in the election of directors, and no supermajority voting requirements in our Certificate of Incorporation or Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). Our Bylaws also contain a “proxy access” provision which allows eligible stockholders to nominate candidates for election to our Board and include such candidates in our proxy statement and proxy card subject to the terms, conditions, procedures and deadlines set forth in our Bylaws. We believe these governance structures provide our stockholders with a more meaningful voice in various corporate matters. Furthermore, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the role of Lead Director of the Board in the event that the Chair of the Board is not an independent director, which reflects the Company’s continued commitment to enhanced corporate governance best practices. The Lead Director is elected by a plurality vote of the independent directors, or via unanimous vote of the independent directors if via written consent action, and serves until the Board meeting immediately following the third anniversary of appointment, provided, however, the Board may extend such term by any length up to the fifth anniversary of the Board meeting immediately following the appointment. The duties and responsibilities of the Lead Director are set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines which is available on our website at www.irco.com under “Investors: Governance: Governance Documents & Charters: Corporate Governance Guidelines.” Additionally, our Sustainability Committee focuses on overseeing and advising the Board on the Company’s sustainability strategies and initiatives, including reviewing the overall sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and human capital management strategies, initiatives and goals. We believe that a separate committee focused on these critical topics provides greater oversight and attention than simply having these matters addressed by an existing Board committee. Ingersoll Rand 17 2025 Proxy Statement TABLE OF CONTENTS Our Board and management value the perspective of our stockholders and encourage stockholders to communicate with the Board as described under “—Communications with the Board” below.
