 INC.  |

Proposal 2—Advisory vote approving executive compensation (Item 2 on the proxy card) The Enpro board of directors provides our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers. Their compensation is reported in our proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareholders. To provide this opportunity to our shareholders, we will present the following resolution to the shareholders at the annual meeting: “Resolved, that the shareholders hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the company’s named executive officers as disclosed, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the company’s proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.” This vote does not bind the company. However, the board of directors and the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, which is composed only of independent directors, will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions. As we describe in detail below under “Compensation discussion and analysis,” we design our executive officer compensation programs to attract, motivate, and retain the key executives who drive our success. Our objective is to establish pay practices that reward them for superior performance and align their interests as managers of our company with the long-term interests of our shareholders. We achieve our objectives through compensation that:

| • | is                                                                                       
 tied to business performance. A substantial portion of each executive officer’s          
 total compensation package is based on our financial results—disappointing performance   
 results in little or no payout while superior performance leads to larger payouts—and    
 the portion compensation based on our financial performance increases with the officer’s 
 level of responsibility;                                                                 |

| • | is                                                                                              
 significantly stock-based. Stock-based compensation ensures our executives and our shareholders 
 have common interests;                                                                          |

| • | enhances                                                                               
 retention of our executives—much of their total compensation vests over several years; |

| • | links                                                                                      
 a significant portion of their total pay to the execution of strategies intended to create 
 long-term shareholder value;                                                               |

| • | does                                                                     
 not encourage our executives to take unnecessary or excessive risks; and |

| • | enables                                                                                  
 us to compete effectively for talented individuals who will help us successfully execute 
 our business plan.                                                                       |

We believe our compensation structure aligns with the interests of our shareholders and resulted in payment commensurate with our
