Ingersoll Rand 36 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS STOCKHOLDER OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT; “SAY ON PAY” RESULT Ingersoll Rand values our stockholders’ perspectives, and each year proactively interacts with investors through numerous engagement activities including our annual stockholder meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and various investor conferences. Throughout 2024, management proactively engaged directly with 92 of our stockholders with actively managed funds, discussing a broad array of topics, including executive compensation. These meetings represented approximately 85% of our stockholders with actively managed funds, and 60% of our total stockholder base. These engagements were through quarterly business updates, non-deal roadshows and investor meetings, and resulted in over 1,100 individual investor touchpoints where we were able to communicate the Company’s strategy and long-term objectives and receive feedback from our stockholders. Also in 2024, our Lead Director, Committee chair and certain members of management reached out to 40 of our top stockholders representing 75% of our shares, which resulted in meetings with 13 of our largest stockholders representing 36% of outstanding shares. In general, our stockholders communicated to us during these engagements that they were pleased with our executive compensation program and preferred to focus on other topics such as business strategy, organic and inorganic growth, overall governance, and succession planning. This feedback is consistent with the 95% support that we received at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting for our “Say-on-Pay” proposal. Our stockholder engagement efforts reflect the importance we place on ongoing, proactive stockholder outreach. We appreciate our stockholders taking the time to provide us with their insights.
