Target Unit Award:             Units
	 	[EID]

  

	1.	 The Grant. Apogee Enterprises, Inc, a Minnesota corporation (“the Company“),
hereby grants to the individual named above (the “Employee”) as of the above Grant Date the right to receive: (i) the target dollar value specified above (the “Target Cash Award”) and (ii) the target
number of units representing the right to receive shares of common stock of the Company specified above (the “Target Unit Award”) on the terms and conditions contained herein (together, the “Performance Award”). The
dollar amount that may actually become payable, and the number of shares that may actually become issuable, may be between 0% and 200% of the target values specified above, depending on the extent to which the threshold, target or maximum
performance levels of the performance goals are achieved. 


  

	2.	 This Agreement. This agreement, together with Exhibit A and Exhibit B (collectively, the
“Agreement”), sets forth the terms and conditions of the Performance Award. The portion of this Performance Award pertaining to the Target Unit Award is issued pursuant to the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, as
amended from time to time (the “Plan”), and subject to its terms. 


  

	3.	 Performance Period. The “Performance Period” for purposes of determing the extent to
which amounts will be paid under this Performance Award shall be fiscal year 20__ through and including fiscal year 20__. 


  

	4.	 Performance Goals. The performance goals for purposes of determining the extent to which amounts will be
paid under this Performance Award are set forth in the attached Exhibit B. 


  

	5.	 Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the amount of cash to be paid (the
“Cash Payment”) and shares to be issued (the “Share Payment”) to the Employee pursuant to this Performance Award will be based on whether and to what extent the threshold, target or maximum performance levels of the
performance goals are achieved, as set forth in the attached Exhibit B and as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion. The Employee will not receive
a payment pursuant to this Performance Award unless one or more performance goals is achieved at or above the threshold level. The determination of the payment amount will occur as soon as practicable after the Committee determines, in its sole
discretion after the end of the Performance Period (or, in the case of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), after the Truncated Performance Period, as applicable), whether, and the extent to which, the performance goals have been achieved
(the “Determination Date”). As soon as administratively feasible following the Determination Date (but in no event later than 75 days following the end of the Performance Period), the Company shall pay to the Employee any Cash
Payment or Share Payment to which the Employee has become entitled. 


  

	6.	 Termination of Employment. In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated prior to the end of
the Performance Period, this Performance Award and any payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited, unless the Employee’s employment is terminated under the circumstances described below.



 In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the Performance Period by reason of
Retirement (as defined in the attached Exhibit A), Disability (as defined in the attached Exhibit A) or death, the Employee or the Employee’s estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata
portion (based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the Performance Period and the date of termination) of the Cash Payment and Share Payment earned, if any, after the end of the Performance Period to the extent that the threshold,
target or maximum performance level of the performance goals is achieved, as set forth in the attached 












 
Exhibit B and as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated after the Performance Period by reason of Retirement, Disability or
death, the Employee or the Employee’s estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive the Cash Payment and Share Payment earned (if not yet paid to the Employee). Any payment to be paid to the Employee pursuant to this paragraph shall be
paid in accordance with paragraph 5 above. 
  

	7.	 Recoupment. Employee acknowledges, understands and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Cash Payment or Share Payment to which Employee is otherwise entitled (or which has been paid) is subject to forfeiture or recoupment, in whole or in part, at the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) if, in the judgment of the Board, events have occurred that are covered by the Company’s Clawback Policy (as it exists on the date hereof, and as it may be amended from time to time by the Board, the “Clawback
Policy”) and the Board further determines, in its sole discretion, that forfeiture or recoupment of all or part of the Cash Payment or Share Payment is appropriate under all of the circumstances considered by the Board. A copy of Clawback
Policy may be obtained from the General Counsel upon the Employee’s request. 


  

	8.	 Change in Control. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs during the Performance Period, then the
Performance Period shall be deemed to end on the date of the Change in Control (the shortened Performance Period is referred to herein as the “Truncated Performance Period”). Payment amounts will be based on the extent of
achievement of the threshold, target or maximum performance level of the performance goals, as adjusted for the Truncated Performance Period and determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Cash Payment and Share Payment to be paid to the
Employee pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in full in a single lump sum payment as soon as administratively feasible following the Determination Date (but in no event later than 60 days following the end of the Truncated Performance Period).



 If a Change in Control of the Company occurs after the Performance Period, then the Employee shall be entitled to
receive the Cash Payment and Share Payment earned (if not yet paid to the Employee) as soon as administratively feasible following the date of the Change in Control (but in no event later than 60 days following the date of the Change in Control).

  

	9.	 Restrictions on Transfer. Neither this Performance Award, nor any right with respect to this Performance
Award under this Agreement, may be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such attempted transfer shall be void. 



 

	10.	 Rights as Shareholder and Restrictions. Prior to the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company
hereunder, the Employee shall not have ownership or rights of ownership of any shares underlying the Target Unit Award. However, the Employee shall accumulate an unvested right to dividend amounts on the Target Unit Award if cash dividends are
declared on the underlying shares on or after the Grant Date. Each time a dividend is paid on shares, the Employee shall accrue an amount equal to the amount of the dividend payable on the number of units specified in the Employee’s Target Unit
Award on the dividend record date (a “Dividend Equivalent”). The accrued Dividend Equivalent amounts shall be subject to the same vesting, forfeiture and payment terms in Sections 5 through 8 herein as if they had been awarded on
the Grant Date. If the number of units actually vested differs from the Target Unit Award, the accrued Dividend Equivalent amount shall be trued up at payment if necessary to reflect the actual number of units vested. In all events, (i) the
Employee shall not be entitled to Dividend Equivalents with respect to dividends declared prior to the Grant Date; and (ii) all Dividend Equivalent amounts accumulated with respect to units that do not vest and become payable shall also be
irrevocably forfeited. 


  

	11.	 Income Taxes. The Employee is liable for any federal, state and local income or other taxes applicable
upon the grant of this Performance Award and the receipt of any payments pursuant to this Performance Award, and the Employee acknowledges that he or she should consult with his or her own tax advisor regarding the applicable tax consequences. The
Company will satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations arising from any payment of this Performance Award by withholding a portion of the cash or shares otherwise to be delivered equal to the amount of such taxes. 



 

	12.	 Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the
extent that this Performance Award constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), this Performance Award will not be payable or distributable upon a Change in
Control unless the Company determines in good faith that the Change in Control meets the definition of a change in ownership or effective control (or change in ownership of a substantial portion of assets) in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the
Code and applicable guidance thereunder. 


  

	13.	 Effectiveness; Acknowledgment. This Performance Award shall not be effective unless and until the
Employee signs the form of Performance Award through DocuSign or such other electronic means prescribed by the 















	 	 
Company. By signing the Performance Award, the Employee agrees to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the prospectus related to the Plan.
