### Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the statements in this proxy statement, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies, and similar matters, and those that include the words "could," "should," "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and "estimates" or similar expressions constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made; however, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties. The following important factors could cause future results to differ from historical experience and our present expectations or projections: changes in economic or industry conditions; the impact of tariffs; competition; inflation and deflation in raw material prices, freight and other input costs; inflation and deflation in consumer markets; currency fluctuations; energy costs and supply; timing and level of capital expenditures; timing and implementation of price increases for the Company's products; impairment charges; identification and consummation of acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all; integration of acquisitions; international operations; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; tax and tax reform, product and other claims; litigation; geopolitical conflicts; regulatory and political changes in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business; and other risks identified in the Company's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports and public announcements.

The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), provides that the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors" or "Board") shall consist of three classes of directors serving staggered terms of office. Upon the expiration of the term of office for a class of directors, the nominees for that class will be elected for a term of three years to serve until the election and qualification of their successors.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to have at least two and no more than eleven directors, with the Board of Directors to determine the exact number. The Board of Directors has set the size of the Board at nine directors. The Board of Directors has nominated Karen A. Smith Bogart, Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum and Bernard P. Thiers as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. The Class II and Class III directors have one year and two years, respectively, remaining on their terms of office and will not be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

It is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote the proxies for the election of each of Dr. Bogart and Messrs. Lorberbaum and Thiers as a Class I director of the Company, unless the Stockholders direct otherwise in their proxies. Each of Dr. Bogart and Messrs. Lorberbaum and Thiers has consented to serve as a director of the Company if elected. In the unanticipated event that any of Dr. Bogart and Messrs. Lorberbaum and Thiers refuses or is unable to serve as a director, the persons named as proxies reserve full discretion to vote for such other person or persons as may be nominated. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of Dr. Bogart and Messrs. Lorberbaum and Thiers will be unable or will decline to serve as a director.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in the election at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of the nominees.

### Contractual Obligations with Respect to the Election of Directors
In connection with the merger of Aladdin with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in February 1994, the Company agreed to nominate up to two persons designated by the former stockholders of Aladdin for election or re-election, as the case may be, to the Board of Directors of the Company and to use its best efforts to cause such nominees to be elected to the Board of Directors. At such time as the former stockholders of Aladdin have disposed of 50% or more of the common stock issued to them in the merger, the Company will be required to nominate only one such person to the Board of Directors, and at such time as the former stockholders of Aladdin have disposed of 75% or more of the common stock issued to them in the merger, the Company will no longer be required to nominate any of such persons to the Board of Directors. The former stockholders of Aladdin currently may designate one director, and Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum is currently such designee.

## Corporate Governance

### Board Membership Criteria
The Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Governance Committee") consider the experience, skills and characteristics of candidates for Board membership as well as for each Board member on an annual basis. The Board and the Governance Committee seek the most capable directors and candidates who possess the appropriate qualifications to make a significant contribution to the Board, the Company and its stockholders. In this process, the Board considers, among other factors, each director's and candidate's:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • business experience <br>• technical skills <br>• industry expertise <br>• financial literacy <br>• sufficient time to devote to the Board <br>• language skills <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • leadership qualities <br>• character and integrity <br>• education <br>• commitment to represent the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders, and <br>• other personal characteristics. <br>|

---

The Board has adopted a Board of Directors Selection Policy, which can be found on the Company's website at mohawkind.com/esg/resources/ under the subheading "*Policies*." The Board and the Governance Committee have been and continue to be committed to including highly qualified individuals with diverse or non-traditional backgrounds, skills and experiences in the pool of candidates for Board membership. The Board and the Governance Committee will continue to monitor and self-assess the experience, skills and characteristics of Board members and candidates on an annual basis.

### Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

#### GENERAL
During 2025, the Board of Directors held five meetings. All members of the Board of Directors attended over 75% of the total number of Board and committee meetings that they were eligible to attend. All members of the Board of Directors at the time of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders were present at such meeting.

#### INDEPENDENCE
The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined, considering generally all relevant facts and circumstances regarding each non-management director, that none of Messrs. Bruckmann, Burris, Engquist, Onorato, Runge or Dr. Bogart have a material relationship that would interfere with such director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and therefore they are independent within the meaning of the standards for independence set forth in the Company's corporate governance guidelines, which are consistent with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") corporate governance standards. Definitions of independence for directors and committee members are included in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, which can be found on the Company's website at **ir.mohawkind.com** under the heading "***Investors***" and the subheading "***Corporate Governance***."

In February 2026, the Board of Directors reappointed Mr. Engquist as Lead Independent Director.

### Board Leadership
The Board of Directors has determined that a combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer position is most appropriate for the Company at this time. Mr. Lorberbaum has served in this combined role since 2004. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Lorberbaum, who is also a significant stockholder of the Company, has efficiently conducted the business and affairs of the Company and believes that he has provided effective leadership and guidance as the Chairman in the management of the Company's risk profile and pursuit of its strategic goals.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| In deciding that a combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer position is the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time, the Governance Committee and Board of Directors also recognized the benefit of independent leadership to enhance the effectiveness of the Board's oversight role. Accordingly, in February 2023, the Governance Committee and Board of Directors adopted amended and restated Corporate Governance Guidelines that, among other things, established the role of Lead Independent Director. Mr. Engquist was subsequently appointed by the Board to serve as the Company's first Lead Independent Director and was reappointed to this role in February 2026.  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_leadindependentdirect-pn.jpg]](ic_leadindependentdirect-pn.jpg) **The Lead Independent Director:** <br> • participates in setting the agenda of Board of Directors and Committee meetings, <br>• coordinates the distribution and presentation of meeting materials, <br>• maintains the focus and punctuality of Board of Directors and Committee meetings, and <br>• presides over executive session meetings of the independent directors. <br>|

---

### Classified Board Structure
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation divides the Board of Directors into three distinct classes, with each class serving a three-year term. The Board of Directors believes that this classified structure fosters stability and continuity, benefiting both the Company and its stockholders. The classified structure ensures that the Board of Directors always includes experienced directors who are knowledgeable in the Company's strategic goals, business and markets. Electing directors to three-year terms, rather than one-year terms, enhances the independence of the Company's non-management directors and encourages them to make decisions in the long-term best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The Board of Directors also believes that the Company's classified board structure serves the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders by reducing the potential influence of certain investors and special interest groups with short-term agendas that may be harmful to the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders. This protects long-term stockholder value and ensures accountability. The Company's classified board structure mitigates the risk of coercive takeover tactics by better positioning the Board of Directors to negotiate for the best outcome on behalf of all of the Company's stockholders. Since only one-third of the Company's directors are elected at any annual meeting, it would require at least two annual meetings to change a majority of the Board, giving incumbent directors significant leverage to secure the best long-term results for all of the Company's stockholders.

### Majority Voting for Directors; Director Resignation Policy
The Company's Bylaws contain a majority voting standard for the election of directors in an uncontested election (that is, an election where the number of nominees is equal to the number of seats open). In an uncontested election, each nominee must be elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast. A "majority of the votes cast" means the number of votes cast "for" a director's election must exceed the number of votes cast "against" (excluding abstentions). In addition, the Board has adopted a director resignation policy whereby, if a director nominee does not receive the requisite vote, the Board expects such director to tender his or her resignation. Under the policy, the Board shall fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who tender, promptly following their appointment to the Board, the same form of resignation tendered by other directors in accordance with the director resignation policy. If an incumbent director fails to receive the required vote for re-election as outlined above, the Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Governance Committee's recommendation within 90 days from the date of the certification of the director election results and will promptly disclose its decision in a filing with the SEC. The Governance Committee and the Board may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a director's resignation. The Board expects the director whose resignation is under consideration to abstain from participating in any decision regarding that resignation.

### Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors provides oversight of the financial, operational, legal and other business risks to the Company on an ongoing basis. Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. The Company faces a number of risks, including economic, financial, cybersecurity, legal and regulatory risks

Mohawk Industries, Inc. \| 2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Corporate Governance

and others, such as the impact of competition. Management is responsible for addressing the risks the Company faces on a day-to-day basis, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board is responsible for satisfying itself that the Company's risk management processes are adequate and functioning as designed.

While the Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, the Audit Committee has primary responsibility for financial, legal, cybersecurity, sustainability, climate and other operational risks, and the Compensation Committee assesses the risks associated with compensation practices. Each of the committees of the Board routinely reports to the full Board on material issues considered by such committee, which may include issues of risk.

### Annual Board and Committee Self-Evaluations
The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation process to assess whether the Board, its committees, and each member of the Board are working effectively, and to provide an opportunity to reflect upon and improve processes and effectiveness.

Each Board member conducts an individual self-assessment annually. In addition, the Governance Committee designs and establishes the overall evaluation framework for the Board assessment, and the Chair of the Governance Committee leads the evaluation process. Evaluation topics include:

• Board composition and refreshment; • timing, agenda, and content of Board meetings; • Board dynamics and function; and • executive succession planning.

The Chair of the Governance Committee then presents a summary identifying any themes or issues that have emerged to the Board on an anonymous basis.

Each committee also conducts its own annual self-evaluation and reports the results to the Board. Each committee's evaluation includes:

• an assessment of the committee's compliance with the committee's charter; • the committee's composition and refreshment; and • timing, agenda and content of committee meetings.

### Nomination Process for the Board of Directors
The Governance Committee evaluates candidates for the Board of Directors identified by its members, other Board members, as well as the Company's management and stockholders. The Governance Committee from time to time may also retain a third-party executive search firm to identify qualified candidates for membership on the Board of Directors. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective nominee for consideration by the Governance Committee should follow the procedures set forth below under "*Stockholder Proposals*."

Once the Governance Committee has identified a prospective nominee, it makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation. In evaluating a prospective nominee, the Governance Committee may consider among other things, the following criteria:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the ability of the prospective nominee to represent the interests of the stockholders; <br>• the prospective nominee's standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; <br>• the prospective nominee's ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the performance of his or her duties; <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the extent to which the prospective nominee contributes to the range of talent, skill and expertise of the Board of Directors; and, <br>• the extent to which the prospective nominee helps the Board of Directors reflect the gender, racial, ethnic and global diversity of the Company's stockholders, employees and customers. <br>|

---

After completing the evaluation, the Governance Committee makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors.

### Board Refreshment
Each member of the Board of Directors is required to submit his or her resignation to the Board of Directors upon the expiration of the term of service in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. Similarly, each director is required to submit his

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Corporate Governance

or her resignation upon a failure to receive a majority of the votes cast in any uncontested election for which he or she is a nominee. In each case, the Board of Directors is not required to accept such resignation, and the Board of Directors will consider a variety of factors when determining whether any director might continue his or her service on the Board.

### Stockholder Engagement
Mohawk's Board and management highly value the input and insights of the Company's stockholders. The Board and management proactively engage with a significant portion of stockholders, including institutional investors, throughout the year. The aim of the stockholder engagement program is to learn about matters important to stockholders, which in turn drives improvements in the Company's policies and practices. Regular engagement provides Mohawk with valuable insights into stockholder concerns and support as the Company develops and implements strategies for long-term growth. Recognizing that stockholders are the owners of the Company, the Board and management are committed to maintaining a robust engagement program and open and ongoing dialogue on relevant issues.

| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ph_proposal2-4c.jpg]](ph_proposal2-4c.jpg)  | Proposal 2 —<br>Ratification of Selection of KPMG LLP as the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |

---

The Audit Committee has selected KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026 and has directed that management submit the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm to stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is not required by the Company's Bylaws or otherwise. If the Stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain KPMG, but still may retain KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it is determined that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

The members of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the continued retention of KPMG to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of the Company and its investors.

## Audit Committee

### Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Mohawk Industries, Inc.
The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent external audit firm retained to audit the Company's financial statements (the "Audit Firm"). In connection with its responsibilities, the Audit Committee received the written disclosure from the Audit Firm, which is required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") regarding the Audit Firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, discussed with the Audit Firm any relationships that may impact the objectivity and independence of the Audit Firm and satisfied itself as to the independence of the Audit Firm. In addition, the members of the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of services for the year ended December 31, 2025 described below under *Principal Accountant Fees and Services* was compatible with maintaining such independence. In conjunction with the mandated rotation of the Audit Firm's lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chairperson are directly involved in the selection of the Audit Firm's new lead engagement partner.

The Audit Committee members reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 with management. The Audit Committee members also discussed with the Audit Firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC.

| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ph_proposal3-4c.jpg]](ph_proposal3-4c.jpg)  | Proposal 3 —<br>Advisory Vote on<br>Executive Compensation |

---

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the compensation of its named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC's rules.

As described in detail under the heading "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*," the Company's executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain its named executive officers, who are critical to its success. Under these programs, the named executive officers are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals, business unit goals, corporate goals, and the realization of increased stockholder value. Please read the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the 2025 compensation of our named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the compensation programs for the Company's named executive officers to ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning the executive compensation structure with stockholders' interests and current market practices. The Company is asking stockholders to indicate their support for the named executive officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a "say-on-pay" proposal, gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on named executive officers' compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, the Company will ask stockholders to vote for the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

"**RESOLVED**, that the Company's Stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed in the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*," the executive compensation tables and related narrative executive compensation disclosure in this proxy statement."

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinions of stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, they will consider stockholders' concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

#### EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
![[MISSING IMAGE: fc_2025worldwide-pn.jpg]](fc_2025worldwide-pn.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

See Annex A for reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)

As of December 31, 2025

Although macroeconomic and market challenges continued in 2025, the Company advanced its focus on its long-term strategic goals, generating free cash flow of $616 million and investing $440 million in capital projects. While commercial demand remained stable through 2025, continued softness in U.S. housing turnover and sluggish new home construction negatively affected the Company's volumes. Weak consumer confidence also contributed to deferred spending on major discretionary projects, including home renovation activities. Housing turnover in the Company's major regions remained near historically low levels, driven by affordability challenges and broader economic uncertainty. In response to challenging market conditions, the Company undertook a series of actions throughout 2025 designed to support sales performance and improve product mix in softer demand environments. These actions included the introduction of innovative products, targeted marketing initiatives, and promotional programs intended to stimulate activity in both residential and commercial channels. The Company's premium product launches provided differentiated design and performance attributes aimed at encouraging remodeling activity. In addition, the introduction of new commercial collections contributed to increased traction in new construction and commercial remodeling projects. The Company also implemented a number of restructuring actions and operational improvements intended to reduce its cost structure and enhance long-term competitiveness. The Company remains focused on effectively managing near-term market conditions, pursuing profitable growth opportunities, and positioning the Company to benefit when housing activity recovers.

Key metrics from the Company's 2025 performance include:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • net sales were approximately $10.8 billion, a decrease of 0.5% as reported or 1.3% on an adjusted basis compared to 2024; <br>• earnings per share (EPS) as reported was $5.93, a decrease from $8.09 for 2024; <br>• excluding unusual charges, EPS was $8.96, a decrease of 7.6% compared to 2024\*; <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • for the full year, the Company generated free cash flow of approximately $616 million, a decrease of 9.3% from the prior year\*; <br>• operating income was $489.8 million, a decrease from $693.5 million in 2024; <br>• adjusted operating income was $703 million, down approximately 14% compared to 2024\*. <br>|

\*

Please see Mohawk's 2025 Annual Report that accompanies this proxy statement for additional information on the results of the Company's operations for 2025 and the reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures contained in ***Annex A*** to this proxy statement.

The Company sets goals at the beginning of each year to establish expected payments at various levels of performance under the Company's incentive plans, and the Compensation Committee considers accomplishments of the Company's executives when determining payouts. As discussed in detail below, although certain performance goals were not achieved with respect to the 2025 annual and 2024 long-term incentive awards, the Compensation Committee determined to approve payouts at an adjusted level in those cases in order to appropriately compensate executives for their individual contributions.

Executive Compensation

#### COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The Company's goal is to have a compensation program that enables it to attract, motivate, develop and retain highly qualified executives who will assist in meeting the Company's long-range objectives, thereby serving the interests of stockholders. To meet these objectives, executive leadership must be of the caliber and have the level of experience and expertise necessary to manage the Company's complex global business successfully. The Company believes that, in order to do this effectively, its compensation program must meet the following criteria:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_boxperformance-pn.jpg]](ic_boxperformance-pn.jpg)  | ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_boxbasedcomp-pn.jpg]](ic_boxbasedcomp-pn.jpg)  | ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_boxstockholders-pn.jpg]](ic_boxstockholders-pn.jpg)  | ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_boxretaintalent-pn.jpg]](ic_boxretaintalent-pn.jpg)  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • create a strong link between the total direct compensation of executives and the Company's annual and longer-term financial performance; <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • use performance-based incentive compensation to place significant amounts of executive compensation at risk; <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • closely align executives' interests with those of stockholders by making stock-based incentives an element of executive compensation; and <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • provide executives with total compensation opportunities at levels that are competitive for comparable positions at companies with which the Company competes for talent. <br>|

---

Determinations and assessments of executive compensation are primarily driven by two considerations:

1 Market data based on the compensation levels, programs and practices of certain other peer companies, and 2 Company and individual performance in specified areas, such as financial metrics and operational efficiency.

The Company believes that market competitiveness and performance factors, considered together, provide a reasonable basis to assess executive performance and determine compensation levels that provide incentive to build value for stockholders. As described below, the Company considers each of these areas in making executive compensation decisions from setting base salaries to providing annual and long-term rewards.

#### MARKET DATA
The Company considers the compensation levels, programs and practices of certain other companies to assist in setting executive compensation so that it is market competitive. The Company reviews compensation data of a peer group that consists of companies of comparable size on both a revenue and market capitalization basis that are engaged, to varying degrees, in businesses similar to the Company. The Company believes that it competes, to varying degrees, for business and talent with the companies in this peer group. The Compensation Committee considers the 50th percentile of the Company's peer group as a guide for setting total direct compensation (base salary plus annual incentive plus long-term incentive) for executives. For purposes of setting compensation levels for 2025, the following companies comprised the peer group (which differed from the peer group used for 2024, as described below)<sup>(1)</sup>:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Builders FirstSource, Inc. <br> Carrier Global Corporation <br> Eastman Chemical Company <br> Fortune Brands Innovations <br> Leggett & Platt  | Lennox International, Inc.\* <br> Masco Corporation <br> Newell Brands <br> Owens Corning <br> PPG Industries, Inc.  | RPM International, Inc. <br> The Sherwin-Williams Company <br> Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. <br> Trane Technologies plc <br> Whirlpool Corporation  |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

Entities marked with an asterisk are new to the peer group for 2025. JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. was removed from the peer group for 2025 based on data received from an analysis by Aon plc.

The Compensation Committee obtained information on the compensation levels, programs and practices of the companies within the peer group from market surveys periodically conducted by the Rewards Solutions practice at Aon plc ("Aon"), a compensation consultant engaged by the Company. In November 2024, the Compensation Committee considered whether the work of Aon raised any conflict of interest. The Compensation Committee considered various factors and determined that with respect to executive and director compensation-related matters, no conflict of interest was raised by the work of Aon. The factors considered by the Compensation Committee included, but were not limited to, Aon's representation to the Compensation Committee that fees unrelated to compensation work paid by the Company to Aon were less than 0.05% of Aon's total revenues.

Executive Compensation

#### COMPANY AND INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE METRICS
The Company relies significantly on performance-based measurements to determine the compensation earned by executives. To customize the compensation program and recognize individual performance and contribution to the Company, the Company focuses on goals relating to:

• earnings per share (EPS),

• earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA),

• total stockholder return (TSR), and

• individual performance.

The Company selects these financial and individual metrics for its incentive programs because it believes that they create appropriate incentives, aligned with those of its stockholders, to improve the operational efficiency and financial performance of the Company. The Company also believes these metrics are good indicators of its overall performance, including whether the Company and its business units are achieving annual or long-term business objectives, and lead to the creation of long-term value for stockholders.

#### COMPONENTS OF MOHAWK'S COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The Company's executive compensation program consists primarily of the following integrated components: base salary, annual incentive awards and long-term incentive opportunities, which together comprise an executive's total direct compensation.

Base salary provides the Company's executive officers with a level of compensation consistent with their skills, experience and contributions in relation to comparable positions in the competitive marketplace. Base salary is set at the beginning of each calendar year and does not vary based on individual or business performance during the year or during prior periods.

By contrast, the other components of executive officers' total direct compensation — the annual incentive awards and components of long-term incentive compensation — are at risk based on performance. The Compensation Committee reviews the base salaries of executive officers annually and otherwise when an executive is promoted or has a significant change in duties or responsibilities. In addition, the Company also considers the executive's experience for the position, differences in position and responsibilities relative to the peer group and the executive's personal contribution to the financial and operational performance of the Company and its businesses.

For 2025, annual incentive awards were awarded under the Senior Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the "SEAIP"). The SEAIP provides a direct link between executive compensation and annual performance. Executives' annual incentive awards are at risk based on how well the Company and executives perform against annual performance goals. Awards made pursuant to the SEAIP may be in the form of cash or restricted stock units.

The Company also awarded equity incentive awards in the form of restricted stock units under the Company's Senior Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Senior Executive LTIP") in 2025. The Senior Executive LTIP provides a link between executive compensation and long-term performance, as the value of grants is based on total stockholder return for a three-year performance period and annual Company and business unit performance goals as well as personal performance goals. To determine the number of awards granted under the Senior Executive LTIP in February 2025, the total stockholder return was measured over the three-year period ending in 2024 and Company and business unit performance was measured against 2024 financial goals. The Compensation Committee also considered the individual performance of each executive officer in relation to the personal performance goals previously set by the Compensation Committee. Equity incentive awards vest ratably over three years following the grant date.

Awards made pursuant to the SEAIP and the Senior Executive LTIP are governed by the Company's 2017 Plan.

The Company's compensation program is complemented with limited perquisites and other executive benefits, including 401(k) matching contributions and severance benefits that the Compensation Committee believes are appropriate, individually and in the aggregate, to ensure the executive compensation program remains competitive.

#### ALLOCATION OF TOTAL DIRECT COMPENSATION
Because stockholders place their money at risk when they invest in the Company, the Company believes that a significant portion of executives' compensation should be aligned with stockholder value. For example, in 2025, assuming achievement of target performance objectives, approximately 71% of Mr. Lorberbaum's total target direct compensation consisted of annual incentive awards and RSU awards. Other named executive officers had similar allocations of target salary, annual incentive awards and RSU awards for 2025, with 66% of the principal target compensation components for our named executive officers in the aggregate consisting of annual incentive awards and RSU awards. Based on the

26&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2026 Proxy Statement \| Mohawk Industries, Inc.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

Executive Compensation

Company's performance in 2025, approximately 23% of the total direct compensation actually paid to Mr. Lorberbaum was represented by his annual bonus award and approximately 47% of the total direct compensation actually paid to Mr. Lorberbaum was represented by his long-term incentive opportunity. By placing a significant portion of an executive's annual pay at risk, the Compensation Committee believes that compensation is more directly related to performance and more closely links the financial interests of the executives and those of the stockholders.

#### CONSIDERATION OF LAST YEAR'S ADVISORY STOCKHOLDER VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, more than 91% of the votes cast approved the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. The Board and the Compensation Committee appreciate and value the views of the Company's stockholders. In considering the result of this most recent advisory vote on executive compensation, the Compensation Committee concluded that the compensation paid to executive officers and the Company's overall pay practices continue to enjoy strong stockholder support. In light of this support, the Compensation Committee did not make material changes to the Company's executive compensation program.  | ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_thumbs-pn.jpg]](ic_thumbs-pn.jpg)  | Average Stockholder Approval on<br>Say-on-Pay over<br>Last 12 Years<br> 94.9% <br> of votes cast |

---

At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders expressed a preference that advisory votes on executive compensation be held on an annual basis. Consistent with this preference, the Board has implemented an advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis. The next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executive officers will occur at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

#### DETERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

#### 2025 Review of Compensation
As a guide in setting compensation for 2025, the Compensation Committee used the results of a survey by Aon of the Company's peer group executive compensation conducted in 2024. This assessment showed that for 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• **Mr. Lorberbaum**, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, received total direct compensation below the 25th percentile of the peer group, which is broken down as follows:

>

base salary above the 75th percentile of the peer group;

>

total cash compensation, which includes base salary and annual cash incentive awards, below the 25th percentile of the peer group; and

>

long-term incentive compensation below the 25th percentile of the peer group.

• **Mr. Brunk**, the Company's Chief Financial Officer during 2024, received total direct compensation below the 25th percentile of the peer group, which is broken down as follows:

>

base salary below the 50th percentile of the peer group;

>

total cash compensation above the 25th percentile of the peer group; and

>

long-term incentive compensation below the 25th percentile of the peer group.

• **Mr. De Cock**, the Company's President — Flooring North America during 2024, received total direct compensation

above the 50th percentile of the peer group, which is broken down as follows:

>

base salary above the 75th percentile of the peer group;

>

total cash compensation, which includes base salary and annual cash incentive awards, above the 75th percentile of the peer group; and

>

long-term incentive compensation below the 50th percentile of the peer group.

• **Mr. Vandini**, the Company's President — Global Ceramics and Former President — Ceramic Europe during 2024, received total direct compensation below the 50th percentile of the peer group, which is broken down as follows:

>

base salary above the 75th percentile of the peer group;

>

total cash compensation, which includes base salary and annual cash incentive awards, above the 75th percentile of the peer group; and

>

long-term incentive compensation below the 25th percentile of the peer group.

Executive Compensation

In making its determinations of 2025 executive compensation, the Compensation Committee at its February 2025 meeting considered:

(i) the results of the Aon assessment discussed above and a tally sheet detailing the various elements of compensation for named executive officers, including base salary and annual and long-term incentives,

(ii) results of performance of named executive officers against applicable financial and personal performance goals for 2024, and

(iii) other factors described in "*Compensation Philosophy and Objectives*" above.

Then, together with Mr. Lorberbaum's recommendations for compensation for the named executive officers other than himself, the Compensation Committee made determinations concerning 2025 adjustments to base salaries and awards under the annual and long-term incentive compensation plans.

Mr. Walma was not an executive officer of the Company at the time of the 2024 Aon assessment. The Compensation Committee considered and approved his compensation package effective as of November 11, 2024.

#### Base Salary
Based on the Compensation Committee's review of market data, the economic conditions and other factors described above, base salaries for 2025 were adjusted in consideration of individual performance and consistent with Company-wide salary increases. Messrs. Lorberbaum, Brunk, and Vandini each received a base salary increase of 3.0% over 2024, and Mr. Walma received a base salary increase of 0.5% over 2024, as a result of merit-based evaluation by the Compensation Committee. In connection with Mr. De Cock's appointment as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, the Compensation Committee approved an annualized base salary of approximately $1.2 million, effective February 1, 2025.

#### Annual Incentive Awards
As discussed above, named executive officers are eligible to earn annual incentive awards under the SEAIP. Pursuant to the plan, each named executive officer who participates in the SEAIP is eligible to participate in a bonus pool that is established based on the Company's achieving a threshold level of performance, and which determines each named executive officer's maximum bonus opportunity, subject to negative discretion by the Compensation Committee to determine the actual amount of annual incentive payouts, as described below. The governing parameters of the SEAIP are as follows:

(i) no annual incentive awards are payable under the plan unless the Company achieves positive consolidated adjusted operating income for the year;

(ii) actual incentive awards earned by the named executive officers are based on the level of achievement of applicable performance goals established by the Compensation Committee; and

(iii) each named executive officer has a maximum bonus award limit based on a percentage of the bonus pool (which the Company refers to as the "Maximum Pool Award Limit").

In 2025, the Company achieved the threshold financial goal of positive consolidated adjusted operating income, making each named executive officer eligible to participate in the bonus pool. The bonus pool for 2025 performance was set by the Compensation Committee at approximately $12.2 million. For 2025, the Maximum Pool Award Limit for each of Messrs. Lorberbaum and De Cock was approximately $3.0 million of the bonus pool, and the Maximum Pool Award Limit for each of Messrs. Brunk, Vandini and Walma was approximately $1.2 million of the bonus pool. For 2025 performance, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to award less than the Maximum Pool Award Limit for each named executive officer that participated in the SEAIP.

As noted above, actual cash incentive awards earned by the named executive officers are determined based on performance against applicable performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and target incentive opportunities. In February 2025, the Compensation Committee established annual incentive award opportunity ranges for each named executive officer serving at the time, reflected as a percentage of each named executive officer's 2025 base

For 2025, the Compensation Committee established the Annual Incentive Plan Financial Goals set forth in the following table to guide the Compensation Committee's determination of actual bonus amounts under the SEAIP. Calculations between the various performance levels are linear (which means they were determined using straight-line interpolation). For Messrs. Lorberbaum and Brunk, the Annual Incentive Plan Financial Goals related to Company EPS. For Mr. De Cock, the Annual Incentive Plan Financial Goals related to Company EPS and Flooring North America segment EPS (weighted at 25% and 75%, respectively) for the first month of 2025, and 100% to Company EPS for the remainder of 2025. For Mr. Vandini, the Annual Incentive Plan Financial Goals related to Company EPS, Ceramic Europe operating income and Global Ceramic segment EPS (weighted at 25%, 35% and 40%, respectively). For Mr. Walma, the Annual Incentive Plan Financial Goals related to Company EPS and Flooring North America segment EPS (weighted at 25% and 75%, respectively).

Adjustments were made to exclude the impact of miscellaneous non-operating expenses and other one-time charges related to the FNA order management system implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

Business unit operating income is determined by the adjusted operating income of Ceramic Europe, a subdivision of the Global Ceramic business segment, less certain costs and expenses. Operating Income for Ceramic Europe converted to U.S. dollars using the euro to dollar exchange rate of 1.17 for 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)

Business segment EPS is determined by dividing the adjusted operating income for the Flooring North America business segment, less an allocation for tax and interest expenses, by the number of weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

The Company's named executive officers received payouts of the following annual incentive awards for the 2025 plan year, which are reflected in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan" column of the "*Summary Compensation Table*" in this proxy statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

Amounts in euros have been converted to U.S. dollars based on a 1.17 exchange rate for 2025.

#### Long-Term Incentive Plan
With respect to awards granted under the Senior Executive LTIP in the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that RSU awards would have two components: fixed and variable. The fixed component of the RSU grant was based on a percentage of each participant's salary and not dependent on personal, Company or business unit performance. The variable component of the RSU grant was based on a combination of performance metrics related to total shareholder return and business unit performance as well as personal performance, as further described below.

Mr. Walma did not receive awards under the Senior Executive LTIP in the first quarter of 2025. In January 2025, Mr. Walma received a sign-on equity award of 23,745 restricted stock units, which vest ratably over five years.

#### FIXED LTIP COMPONENT
In order to recruit and retain key executives, the Compensation Committee designed the Senior Executive LTIP to include a fixed LTIP component based on a percentage of each participant's 2024 base salary as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name**  | **RSUs Granted in 2025 Based on Fixed<br>Percentage of Participant's 2024 Base Salary<br>(#)**  |
| Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum | 9905 |
| James F. Brunk | 4229 |
| Paul F. De Cock | 4706 |
| Mauro Vandini<sup>(1)</sup> | 2190 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

Mr. Vandini participated in the EEIP during 2024, which included a fixed LTIP component.

#### VARIABLE LTIP COMPONENT
Like the SEAIP, in order for 2025 awards to be granted under the variable component of the Senior Executive LTIP, the Company had to achieve positive adjusted consolidated operating income for 2024. Having achieved this threshold, the Compensation Committee evaluated the number of RSUs to grant to the named executive officers under the variable component of the Senior Executive LTIP based on:

(i) the Company's stock performance over the three-year period ending in 2024 as compared to the S&P 500 ("TSR Component"),

(ii) business unit performance in 2024 ("Business Unit Component"), and

(iii) personal performance objectives, each as described below, together with a qualitative assessment of Company and management performance during the performance period.

#### — TSR COMPONENT
The financial goals for determining the number of stock awards granted in 2025 for the TSR Component of the Senior Executive LTIP were based on total stockholder return (TSR) over the three-year period ending in 2024 as compared to the S&P 500. To determine awards in 2024, the Compensation Committee assigned each participant a target value of stock awards (based on a percentage of 2024 base salary), which would be awarded if the Company achieved TSR at the 50th percentile of the S&P 500. The actual value of restricted stock units awarded could range from 50% to 200% of the target value subject to achieving TSR between the 25th and 75th percentile of the peer group, as set forth in the table below. Calculations between the various performance levels are linear (which means they were determined using straight line interpolation).

| Mauro Vandini<sup>(1)</sup> |  |  |  |  |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

During 2024, Mr. Vandini participated in the EEIP, which did not include a TSR component.

The Company achieved the TSR at the 16th percentile of the peer group for the three-year period, which resulted in RSUs not being awarded in 2025 for the TSR Component in 2024.

#### — BUSINESS SEGMENT COMPONENT
The financial goals for determining the number of stock awards granted in 2025 for the Business Segment Component of the Senior Executive LTIP were based on i) Company and Business Segment EPS targets and ii) Company and Business Segment Adjusted EBITDA targets for 2024.

Executive Compensation

 *<u>EPS Business Segment Opportunity</u>* 

The Compensation Committee assigned each participant a target value of stock awards (based on a percentage of 2024 base salary), which would be awarded if the Company or applicable Business Segment achieved the target EPS. The actual value of restricted stock units awarded could range from 0% to 60% of base salary in the case of Mr. Lorberbaum, and 0% to 50% of base salary in the case of Messrs. Brunk and De Cock. For Mr. Vandini, who participated in the EEIP instead of the Senior Executive LTIP, the actual value of restricted stock units awarded could range from 0% to 40% of base salary. Calculations between the various performance levels are linear (which means they were determined using straight-line interpolation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

Mr. Vandini's threshold, target and maximum opportunity for the first eight months of 2024 were 25%, 50% and 125%, respectively, while Mr. Vandini's threshold, target and maximum opportunity for the last four months of 2024 following his promotion to President — Global Ceramic were 10%, 20% and 40%, respectively.

For 2024, the Compensation Committee established certain business performance goals related to EPS (the "EPS Business Segment Financial Goals") set forth in the following table to guide the Compensation Committee in determining actual RSU awards in 2025 under the EPS portion of the Business Segment Component of the long-term incentive plans. Calculations between the various performance levels are linear (which means they were determined using straight-line interpolation).

• For Messrs. Lorberbaum, Wellborn and Brunk, the EPS portion of the Business Segment Financial Goals consisted of the Company EPS.

• For Mr. De Cock, who served as President of Flooring — North America during 2024, the EPS Business Segment Financial Goals consisted of the Company EPS and Flooring — North America EPS (weighted at 25% and 75%, respectively).

• For Mr. Vandini, who in 2024 served as President of the Company's Ceramic Europe business unit until his promotion in September 2024, the EPS Business Segment Financial Goals consisted of Company EPS and Ceramic Europe operating income (weighted at 25% and 75%, respectively).

\*

Adjustments were made to exclude the impact of miscellaneous non-operating expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

Business unit operating income is determined by the adjusted operating income of Ceramic Europe, a subdivision of the Global Ceramic business segment, less certain costs and expenses. These values represent the approximate dollar value converted to U.S. dollars using the euro to dollar exchange rate of 1.05 for 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)

Business segment EPS is determined by dividing the adjusted operating income for the respective business segment, less an allocation for tax and interest expenses, by the number of weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

 *<u>Adjusted EBITDA Business Segment Opportunity</u>* 

The Compensation Committee also assigned each participant a target value of stock awards (based on a percentage of 2024 base salary), which would be awarded if the Company or applicable Business Segment achieved the target Adjusted EBITDA. The actual value of restricted stock units awarded could range from 0% to 60% of base salary in the case of Mr. Lorberbaum, 0% to 40% of base salary in the case of Messrs. Brunk and De Cock. Calculations between the various performance levels are linear (which means they were determined using straight-line interpolation).

During 2024, Mr. Vandini participated in the EEIP, which did not include an Adjusted EBITDA portion of the Business Segment component.

For 2024, the Compensation Committee established certain business performance goals related to Adjusted EBITDA (the "Adjusted EBITDA Business Segment Financial Goals") set forth in the following table to guide the Compensation Committee in determining actual RSU awards in 2025 under the Adjusted EBITDA portion of the Business Segment Component of the long-term incentive plans. Calculations between the various performance levels are linear (which means they were determined using straight-line interpolation).

• For Messrs. Lorberbaum, Wellborn and Brunk, the EBITDA portion of the Business Segment Financial Goals consisted of the Company EBITDA.

• For Mr. De Cock, who served as President of Flooring — North America during 2024, the EBITDA Business Segment Financial Goals consisted of the Company EBITDA and Flooring — North America EBITDA (weighted at 25% and 75%, respectively).

#### — INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
In February 2025, the Compensation Committee reviewed individual performance objectives and accomplishments for each of the named executive officers during 2024. The various objectives are specific to each individual officer, and the Compensation Committee considers each officer's personal contribution to the Company during the year when making its determinations for the variable Senior Executive LTIP component.

#### — QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF VARIABLE COMPONENT
In conducting its qualitative assessment of management performance in 2024, the Compensation Committee considered the Company's progress in advancing its focus on its long-term strategic goals. During 2024, the Company generated

Executive Compensation

free cash flow of $679.5 million and invested $454.4 million in capital projects. At the same time, suppressed home sales, constrained new home construction and reduced investments in the commercial sector impacted market demand and created heightened industry competition for volume. These factors also resulted in greater unabsorbed overhead and temporary shutdown costs as the Company managed production and inventory. Given these conditions, the Company focused on stimulating sales with innovative new products, marketing actions and promotional programs. During 2024, the Company initiated significant restructuring actions and operational improvements expected to lower costs and benefit longer-term results. Through these actions, the Company delivered an increase of approximately 6% in full-year adjusted earnings per share despite a soft market. As discussed above, the Company significantly relies on performance metrics for determining executive compensation, and the compensation of its named executive officers was positively affected by the Company's financial results in 2024.

Taking these items into account, as well as performance against other qualitative performance measures, the Compensation Committee determined to pay out awards under the variable Senior Executive LTIP component as set forth in the table below. The number of RSUs ultimately granted was determined by dividing the named executive officer's award value by the average daily closing prices for the Common Stock for the last thirty (30) consecutive trading days from and including February 5, 2025 (which is the date that is five trading days before the February 2025 Compensation Committee meeting).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

Mr. Vandini's variable award consists only of RSUs based on business unit performance as described above, and individual performance as of September 1, 2024.

#### PERQUISITES AND OTHER EXECUTIVE BENEFITS
Perquisites and other executive benefits are a part of the executives' overall compensation and include access to health care and other benefits. The Company offers additional executive perquisites at the senior leadership level, including defined contribution matching benefits, health benefits and life insurance coverage benefits as referenced in the "*Summary Compensation Table*".

#### RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Retirement benefits also fulfill an important role within overall executive compensation objectives because they provide a financial security component that promotes retention. The Company maintains the Mohawk Industries Retirement Savings Plan 2, a 401(k) retirement plan in which its named executive officers are eligible to participate, along with a substantial number of the Company's employees.

The Company also maintains the Mohawk Industries, Inc. Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan under which a select group of management or highly compensated employees, including named executive officers, may elect to defer up to 25% of their pre-tax earnings and up to 100% of their year-end bonus payments and receive tax-deferred returns on those deferrals. The account balances in this plan are unfunded, and the participants have previously earned and voluntarily elected to defer these amounts in order to accumulate tax-deferred returns. The Company does not match contributions to this plan. Plan participants can allocate their account balances among the same investment options available under the Company's qualified contribution retirement plan (other than investments in Company stock), which also accumulate on a tax-deferred basis.

#### SEVERANCE PAY ARRANGEMENTS
The Company's named executive officers participate in the general employee severance plan which provides a specified number of weeks of severance pay based on continuous service time to the Company and the reason for termination of employment. The Company's named executive officers, other than Mr. Vandini, are employees at-will and do not have long-term contracts with the Company. See "*Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers*" for a description of the Company's agreement with Mr. Vandini, including severance benefits provided thereunder and "*Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control*" for a quantification of the severance benefits.

Executive Compensation

#### STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES AND HOLD PERIODS
Stock ownership guidelines are reviewed annually as part of the compensation planning process. The stock ownership goals for the Company's executive officers who participate in the Senior Executive LTIP are based on a multiple of the executive's annual base salary.

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

---

The ownership multiple for the Company's CEO is six times annual base salary, for the COO is three times annual base salary, for the CFO and business segment leaders is two times annual base salary and for other Senior Executive LTIP participants is one times annual base salary. Stock ownership guidelines provide that each executive is expected to meet this goal within five years of his or her initial participation in the Senior Executive LTIP. The stock ownership guidelines require Senior Executive LTIP participants to retain at least 50% of any award made under the Senior Executive LTIP (including any shares issued upon the vesting of such award) calculated on an after tax basis until the applicable level of ownership has been achieved. For purposes of the stock ownership guidelines for the Company's CEO, ownership only includes fully vested shares of Common Stock, and for other executive officers, ownership includes shares of Common Stock, unvested RSUs and vested, in-the-money options.

In addition, members of the Company's Board of Directors are expected to own stock and/or stock rights equal in value to five times the cash value of their annual retainers, whether paid in cash or stock, within five years of their election.

As of April 1, 2026, all of the Company's directors and executive officers have met their stock ownership requirements.

#### CLAWBACK POLICY
Effective October 2, 2023, the Company adopted a clawback policy to align with listing rules adopted by NYSE as required by the SEC. The policy applies to all executive officers (as defined under the applicable rules) and requires the Company to seek to recoup certain incentive-based compensation, whether cash- or equity-based, from current or former officers in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws.

#### INSIDER TRADING POLICY
Mohawk is committed to promoting high standards of ethical business conduct and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. As part of this commitment, the Company has adopted its Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of Company securities by directors, officers, employees and their family members, as well as by Mohawk itself, that the Company believes is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of the Company's Insider Trading Policy, including any amendments thereto, was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

#### POLICY ON HEDGING TRANSACTIONS
The Company believes that hedging against losses in the Company's shares by the Company's leadership breaks the alignment between stockholders and management. Moreover, the Company is concerned that engaging in derivative transactions with respect to the Company's securities may focus management attention on short-term performance and may enhance the risk that members of management — knowingly or unknowingly — trade in the Company's securities while in the possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, the Company's Insider Trading Policy prohibits directors and officers from engaging in a variety of hedging transactions with respect to the Company's common stock, including "short sales" and "short sales against the box." The policy also places restrictions on the buying or selling of put or call options by directors and officers. This anti-hedging policy does not extend to all employees of the Company but is limited to directors and officers.

Executive Compensation

#### EQUITY GRANT GUIDELINES
The Company's practice is to grant long-term equity awards on a predetermined schedule in connection with its annual compensation setting process. The Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards. The Company has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation for named executive officer grants in fiscal year 2025.

To the extent permitted by Delaware law, the Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the power to designate the employees (other than executive officers) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who will receive grants of equity incentive awards and the number of such awards.

#### COMPENSATION RISK REVIEW
The Company has assessed the incentive compensation policies and practices for its employees and concluded that they do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company's compensation policies and practices were evaluated to ensure that they do not foster risk-taking above the level of risk associated with the Company's business model.

### Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the compensation programs of the Company on behalf of the Board of Directors. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed with management of the Company the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" included in this proxy statement and based on such review and discussions recommended to the Board of Directors that the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" be included in this proxy statement and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC.

Aggregate earnings are not included in the "*Summary Compensation Table*" because such earnings are not above-market or preferential interest rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)

Includes amounts of employee contributions representing compensation earned and deferred in prior years that were reported in the "*Summary Compensation Table*" for the year in which earned or that would have been so reported if the officer had been a named executive officer in such year.

The Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan pursuant to which certain members of senior management of the Company, including the named executive officers, may elect to defer up to 25% of their annual base salary and up to 100% of their incentive cash bonus. Deferral elections are due before January 1 of each year, and are irrevocable. The Company directs a trustee to invest the assets which are held in an irrevocable rabbi trust. In order to provide for an accumulation of assets comparable to the contractual liabilities accruing under the plan, the Company may direct the trustee in writing to invest the assets held in the trust to correspond to the hypothetical investments made for participants in accordance with their direction. Deferred amounts are credited with earnings or losses based on the rate of return of mutual funds in which the assets are invested. The participant must make an election regarding payment terms at least twelve (12) months before payment, which may be either a lump sum, or annual installments from two (2) to ten (10) years. If a participant dies before receiving the full value of the deferral account balances, the designated beneficiary would receive the remainder of that benefit. All accounts would be immediately distributed upon a change in control of the Company.

#### POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
Each of the Company's named executive officers, other than Mr. Vandini, is entitled to participate in the Company's severance plan that is available to all employees. In addition, as described above under "*Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers*," as of December 31, 2025, the Company was party to an employment agreement with Mr. Vandini which specifies the payments and benefits to which he is entitled upon a termination of employment for specified reasons.

The following table shows the estimated value of benefits payable to each of the named executive officers (i) if their service had been terminated under various circumstances as of December 31, 2025, or (ii) upon a change in control of the Company as of December 31, 2025. The amounts shown in the table exclude accrued but unpaid base salary, unreimbursed employment-related expenses, accrued but unpaid vacation pay (which payments and reimbursements would be made to all salaried employees), distributions under the Company's 401(k) retirement plan (which plan is generally

Pursuant to the terms of the 2017 Plan, an executive participating in the plan is eligible for retirement upon reaching the age of 60 following 10 years of continuous service to the Company. Upon retirement, any restricted stock units held by the executive continue to vest on their normal terms subject to forfeiture if the executive competes with the Company during the vesting period. Messrs. Lorberbaum, Brunk and Vandini were eligible for retirement as of December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)

Under Mr. Vandini's employment agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Mr. Vandini an amount equal to two years of total compensation if Mr. Vandini was terminated without just cause, if Mr. Vandini resigned for just cause, or in case of death or disability. For purposes of this disclosure, amount shown is the sum of (i) two times Mr. Vandini's 2025 base salary net of his end-of-service accrual payment and (ii) two times Mr. Vandini's annual cash bonus that would have been paid at the target level for 2025.

Reflects the value of unvested restricted stock units that vest upon the designated event, in each case based on the closing market price of the Common Stock on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of the year ($109.30). Pursuant to the 2017 Plan, unvested stock options and restricted stock units vest upon a change in control, assuming that such awards are not assumed or otherwise equitably converted in connection with the change in control. If the awards are assumed or otherwise equitably converted in connection with the change in control, then the outstanding unvested stock options and RSUs granted under the 2017 Plan will vest if the executive's employment is terminated without cause or he resigns with good reason (as defined in the 2017 Plan) within one year following the change in control. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the outstanding, unvested RSUs were not assumed in connection with the change in control. Under the 2017 Plan, unvested stock options and RSUs vest upon the executive's termination of employment due to death or disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (5)

Reflects life insurance benefit equal to one times the then-current annual salary. Mr. Vandini's life insurance benefit equals $1.470 million, converted to U.S. dollars using the euro to dollar exchange rate of 1.17 for 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (6)

Reflects AD&D insurance benefit equal to one times the then-current annual salary. For Mr. Vandini, reflects long-term disability due to accident benefit equal to $3.675 million, converted to U.S. dollars using the euro to dollar exchange rate of 1.17 for 2025.

Executive Compensation

### Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation
The Company maintains its Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy, as required by the SEC, which was effective as of October 2, 2023 (the "Clawback Policy"). Under the Clawback Policy, if the Company is required to restate its financial statements under certain circumstances, the Company must recover from the executive officers covered by the Clawback Policy ("covered executives") any incentive compensation that was provided to the covered executives that exceeds what they would have received under the restated financials.

On February 24, 2026, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company revised its 2023 and 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements following identification in the fourth quarter of 2025 of an immaterial error affecting the Company's previously issued financial statements. The misstatements related to accounts receivable and intercompany activity. The Company determined that the impacts were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for any of the prior quarters or the annual period in which they occurred. However, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 of the SEC, the Company concluded that correcting the cumulative misstatement in the current period would be material to its results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

The revisions to correct the above-described error in previously issued financial statements required a recovery analysis of incentive-based compensation received by the covered executives during the relevant recovery period pursuant to the Clawback Policy (the "Recovery Analysis"). The Compensation Committee undertook the Recovery Analysis on February 18, 2026. As described in further detail below, the Company determined that the restatement resulted in erroneously awarded compensation being paid in respect of certain 2023 and 2024 incentive compensation received by the covered executives under the SEAIP and the Management Annual Incentive Plan (the "MAIP") for 2023 and 2024 (the "2023 SEAIP," "2023 MAIP," "2024 SEAIP" and "2024 MAIP," respectively) and under the Senior Executive LTIP and the EEIP for 2023 and 2024 (the "2023 LTIP," "2023 EEIP," "2024 LTIP," and "2024 EEIP," respectively). The performance metrics used to determine payouts under the various plans and the impacts to such metrics are set forth in the table below. The relative TSR metric was not impacted by the error correction.

Based on the Recovery Analysis, the Company determined that the amount of erroneously awarded compensation paid to the covered executives under the various plans outlined above was an aggregate of $207,634 (collectively, the "Recoverable Amount"). As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate dollar amount of erroneously awarded compensation

Executive Compensation

outstanding was $207,634; however, except as otherwise noted below, all amounts of erroneously awarded compensation as determined by the Company have been recovered as of the date hereof.

The Committee approved the recovery of the Recoverable Amount for each covered executive by using its discretion to deduct such amounts from incentive compensation otherwise payable to them, in each case on a pre-tax basis, with the exception of (i) one former covered executive whose recoverable amount was recovered via a personal check in March 2026, and (ii) two former covered executives whose recoverable amounts remain outstanding. There is no amount of erroneously awarded compensation that has not yet been determined or, as of the end of the last completed fiscal year, had been outstanding for 180 days or longer since the date the Committee determined the amount owed by each covered executive. The Compensation Committee will seek to recover the remaining amount of the erroneously awarded compensation from the former covered executives in accordance with the Clawback Policy.

### CEO Pay Ratio
The following ratio compares the fiscal year 2025 annual total compensation of the Company's median-paid employee (which was identified in 2023) with the fiscal year 2025 annual total compensation of Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum, the Company's CEO. The pay ratio included below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The Company selected October 1, 2023 as the date to identify its median employee. The Company chose to maintain the same median employee for its pay ratio calculation as in 2023 and 2024 as there were no changes to its employee population or employee compensation arrangements during 2025 that would result in a significant change to its pay ratio disclosure.

The compensation measure used in 2023 to identify the Company's median employee was base wages paid to all employees other than the CEO, as reflected in the Company's payroll records. This compensation measure was consistently applied to all employees included in the calculation. The Company annualized base wages for all full-time employees and also annualized base wages for part-time employees based on their projected annual hours.

As of October 1, 2023, the Company employed a total of 43,657 worldwide employees, 16,867 of which resided in the United States. For purposes of identifying the median employee in 2023, the Company included all of its employees in the median employee analysis after making certain exclusions as permitted under the ***de minimis*** exception of the SEC rules.<sup>(1)</sup> The Company used average exchange rates over December 2023 to convert compensation data from the local currencies in which it was paid into U.S. dollars.

The Company calculated the annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology used for its named executive officers as set forth in the "*Summary Compensation Table*" in this proxy statement. The annual total compensation of the CEO for fiscal year 2025 was $5,184,782 and the annual total compensation for fiscal year 2025 of the median employee was $45,740. The resulting ratio of the annual total compensation of the Company's CEO to the annual total compensation of the Company's median employee for 2025 is 113:1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

As is permitted under SEC rules, the Company removed 1,720 global employees (approximately 3.94% of the total employee population) from the data set. These countries and the applicable employee headcounts as of the sample date were as follows:

### P AY V ERSUS P ERFORMANCE D ISCLOSURE
As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following information regarding the relationship between "compensation actually paid" or "CAP," as defined in Item 402(v), and certain financial performance metrics for each of the last five completed fiscal years. In determining the CAP to the Company's named executive officers ("NEOs"), the Company is required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table ("SCT") in previous years, as the SEC's valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the SCT. The table below summarizes compensation values both previously reported in the SCT, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for the 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 fiscal years. Note that for the Company's NEOs other than its principal executive officer (the "PEO"), compensation is reported as an average.

---

The Company currently issues equity awards under the Mohawk Industries, Inc. 2017 Incentive Plan (the "2017 Incentive Plan"). On February 19, 2026, the Board adopted, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, the Mohawk Industries, Inc. 2026 Incentive Plan (the "2026 Incentive Plan") to replace the 2017 Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2025, there were approximately 556,039 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan and approximately 1,461,008 shares of Common Stock reserved and available for future awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan. The 2017 Incentive Plan will expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, unless terminated earlier. If the stockholders approve the 2026 Incentive Plan, then the Company will not grant any additional awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan. Without the stockholders' approval of the 2026 Incentive Plan, the Company will not have adequate ability to continue to grant additional equity awards as needed to remain competitive in the marketplace.

The Company's Board believes the 2026 Incentive Plan contains several features that are consistent with sound corporate governance practices and is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders approve the 2026 Incentive Plan.

### Important Information About the 2026 Incentive Plan

#### Shares Available Under the 2026 Incentive Plan
If the 2026 Incentive Plan is approved by the stockholders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2026 Incentive Plan will be 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock, less one share for every one share subject to an award granted under the 2017 Incentive Plan after December 31, 2025 and prior to the effective date of the 2026 Incentive Plan. After December 31, 2025, any shares subject to an award under the 2017 Incentive Plan that is terminated or expires unexercised, is settled for cash, or is canceled, forfeited or lapses for any reason will, to the extent of such termination, expiration, cash settlement, cancellation, forfeiture or lapse, be added to the shares available for grant under the 2026 Incentive Plan on a one-for-one basis.

***Key Data Relating to Outstanding Equity Awards and Shares Available.*** The following table includes information regarding outstanding equity awards and shares available for future awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **2017 Incentive Plan<sup>(1)</sup>**  |
| Total shares underlying outstanding stock options |  |
| Total shares underlying full value awards outstanding | 556039 |
| Total shares currently available for grant | 1461008 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

If the stockholders approve the 2026 Incentive Plan, all future equity awards will be made from the 2026 Incentive Plan, and the Company will not grant any additional awards under the 2017 Plan.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Proposal 4 — Approval of the Company's 2026 Incentive Plan

***Information Regarding Authorized Shares and Stock Price.*** The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, there were 61,446,674 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and the closing price of a share of Common Stock as of that date was $109.30.

***Significant Historical Award Information.*** In setting the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2026 Incentive Plan, the Company considered its historic burn rate, which measures annual share utilization. Burn rate is calculated by dividing the number of shares subject to equity awards granted during the applicable fiscal period by the total weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable fiscal period. Over the last three years, the Company has maintained an average burn rate of 0.42% of shares of Common Stock outstanding per year.

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025 <br>(%)**  | **2024 <br>(%)**  | **2023 <br>(%)**  |
| Burn Rate | 0.46 | 0.41 | 0.38 |

---

The Company also considered overhang, which measures potential shareholder dilution, in setting the number of additional shares authorized for issuance under the 2026 Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2025, there were 61,446,674 shares of Common Stock outstanding in total, 556,039 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards, and 1,461,008 shares of Common Stock available for future awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan. Therefore, as of December 31, 2025, overhang (calculated as the number of shares subject to outstanding awards plus the number of shares available to be granted, divided by the total number of outstanding shares) was 3.3%. Had the 3,500,000 additional shares being requested under the 2026 Incentive Plan been available for grant as of the record date, overhang would have increased to 9.0%.

***Future Share Needs****.* Based on the Company's historical equity grant practices, the share pool authorized under the 2026 Incentive Plan would last approximately ten years. While the Company believes this modeling provides a reasonable estimate of how long such a share reserve could last, there are a number of factors that could impact the Company's future equity share usage. Among the factors that will impact actual share usage are changes in market grant values, changes in the number of recipients, changes in the Company's stock price, changes in the structure of its equity program and forfeitures of outstanding awards.

### Sound Corporate Governance Practices
The 2026 Incentive Plan contains a number of provisions that the Company believes are consistent with the interests of its stockholders and sound corporate governance practices, including:

• *No evergreen provision.* The 2026 Incentive Plan does not contain an "evergreen" feature pursuant to which the shares authorized for issuance under the 2026 Incentive Plan can be automatically replenished.

• *Limits on non-employee director compensation*. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director for his or her services as a non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the fiscal year for his or her services as a non-employee director, may not exceed $750,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes), or $1,000,000 in total value during a fiscal year in the case of a non-employee director who serves as Chairman of the Board or Lead Independent Director.

• *No repricing of stock options or stock appreciation rights.* Without the prior approval of the stockholders, outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights cannot be repriced, directly or indirectly, nor may stock options or stock appreciation rights be cancelled in exchange for stock options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original award. In addition, the Company may not, without the prior approval of stockholders, repurchase an option or stock appreciation right for value from a participant if the current market value of the underlying stock is lower than the exercise price or base price per share of the option or stock appreciation right, respectively.

• *No discounted stock options or stock appreciation rights.* Stock options and stock appreciation rights may not be granted with exercise prices or base prices lower than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date.

• *No liberal share recycling provisions.* Shares retained by or delivered to the Company to pay the exercise price of a stock option or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise, vesting or settlement of an award will count against the number of shares remaining available under the 2026 Incentive Plan.

• *Double-trigger change of control vesting.* If awards granted under the 2026 Incentive Plan are assumed by the successor entity in connection with a change of control of the Company, such awards will not automatically vest and pay out upon the change of control.

• *Minimum vesting requirements.* Subject to certain exceptions, no more than five percent (5%) of the shares available for issuance under the 2026 Incentive Plan may be granted pursuant to awards with a vesting period of less than one (1) year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• ***No dividends on unearned awards or appreciation awards***. The 2026 Incentive Plan prohibits the current payment of dividends or dividend equivalent rights on unearned awards. In addition, no dividends will accrue on options or stock appreciation rights.

#### MATERIAL FEATURES
The following is a summary of the material features of the 2026 Incentive Plan. This summary is subject to and qualified by reference to the actual text of the 2026 Incentive Plan, a complete copy of which is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement.

**Shares Available for Issuance.** The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2026 Incentive Plan is 3,500,000, less one share for every one share subject to an award granted under the 2017 Incentive Plan after December 31, 2025 and prior to the effective date of the 2026 Incentive Plan, all of which may be issued as incentive stock options. After December 31, 2025, any shares subject to an award under the 2017 Incentive Plan that is terminated or expires unexercised, is settled for cash, or is canceled, forfeited or lapses for any reason will, to the extent of such termination, expiration, cash settlement, cancellation, forfeiture or lapse, be added to the shares available for grant under the 2026 Incentive Plan on a one-for-one basis.

**Share Counting.** The share counting provisions of the 2026 Incentive Plan provide that the following shares will be added back to the 2026 Incentive Plan share reserve and will again be available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2026 Incentive Plan: (i) unissued or forfeited shares originally subject to an award that is canceled, terminates, expires, is forfeited or lapses for any reason; and (ii) shares subject to awards settled in cash. In addition, substitute awards granted in connection with a merger will not count against the share reserve under the 2026 Incentive Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shares will not be added back to the 2026 Incentive Plan share reserve and will count against the number of shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2026 Incentive Plan: (i) shares withheld or repurchased from an award or delivered by a participant to satisfy tax withholding requirements; (ii) shares delivered to the Company in satisfaction of the exercise price of an option; and (iii) shares originally subject to an option or SAR that are not issued upon exercise of the option or SAR for any reason, including by reason of net-settlement of the award.

**Adjustments.** If the Company has a change in its capital structure resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of the shares, the number of shares covered by each outstanding award, the number of shares available for awards, the number of shares that may be subject to awards to any one participant, and the price per share covered by each such outstanding award will be proportionately adjusted. If there are other increases or decreases in the number of issued shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board, the Compensation Committee will make equitable adjustments to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of award recipients.

**Limit on Non-Employee Director Compensation.** The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director for his or her services as a non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the fiscal year for his or her services as a non-employee director, may not exceed $750,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes), or $1,000,000 in total value during a fiscal year in the case of a non-employee director who serves as Chairman of the Board or Lead Independent Director.

**Administration.** The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will administer the 2026 Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee will have the authority to grant awards; designate participants; determine the type or types of awards to be granted to each participant and the number, terms and conditions thereof; establish, adopt or revise any plan, program or policy for the grant of awards as it may deem necessary or advisable, including but not limited to short-term incentive programs; establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem advisable to administer the 2026 Incentive Plan; and make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the 2026 Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors may at any time administer the 2026 Incentive Plan.

**Eligibility.** The 2026 Incentive Plan permits the grant of incentive awards to employees (including contractual employees), officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates as selected by the Compensation Committee. As of December 31, 2025, 568 employees and seven non-employee directors participated in the Company's long-term incentive plan. The number of eligible participants may increase over time based upon future growth of the Company and its affiliates.

**Permissible Awards.** The 2026 Incentive Plan authorizes the granting of awards in any of the following forms:

• stock options to purchase Common Stock, which may be designated under the Code as nonstatutory stock options (which may be granted to all participants) or incentive stock options (which may be granted to officers and employees but not to non-employee directors or consultants);

Proposal 4 — Approval of the Company's 2026 Incentive Plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• stock appreciation rights (SARs), which give the holder the right to receive the difference (payable in cash or stock, as specified in the award certificate) between the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the base price of the award (which cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the grant date);

• restricted stock, which is subject to restrictions on transferability and subject to forfeiture on terms set by the Compensation Committee;

• restricted or deferred stock units, which represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock (or an equivalent value in cash or other property, as specified in the award certificate) in the future, based upon the attainment of stated vesting or performance criteria in the case of restricted stock units;

• performance awards, which are awards payable in cash or stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals (any award that may be granted under the 2026 Incentive Plan may be granted in the form of a performance awards);

• other stock-based awards in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, including unrestricted stock grants;

• cash-based awards, including annual incentive awards; and

• dividend equivalent rights, which entitle the participant to payments in cash or property calculated by reference to the amount of dividends paid on the shares of stock underlying an award, with respect to awards other than options or SARs.

### 2026 Incentive Plan Provisions Applicable to All Awards
**Minimum Vesting*.*** Stock-based awards granted under the 2026 Incentive Plan may vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date the award is granted; provided that the following will not be subject to the foregoing minimum vesting requirement: (i) substitute awards granted in connection with awards that are assumed, converted or substituted pursuant to a merger, acquisition or similar transaction entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) shares delivered in lieu of fully-vested cash awards, (iii) awards to non-employee directors that vest on earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the immediately preceding year's annual meeting, and (iv) additional awards the Compensation Committee may grant, up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available share reserve authorized for issuance under the 2026 Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment pursuant to the 2026 Incentive Plan. The minimum vesting restriction does not apply to the Compensation Committee's discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any award in cases of retirement, death, disability, other termination of employment or a change in control, in the award certificate or otherwise.

**Treatment of Awards upon a Participant's Death or Disability*.*** Unless otherwise provided in an award certificate or any special plan document or separate agreement governing an award, upon the termination of a participant's service due to death or disability, all of that participant's outstanding options and SARs will become fully vested and will remain exercisable for a period of one year or until the earlier expiration of the original term of the option or SAR and all time-based vesting restrictions on that participant's outstanding awards will lapse as of the date of termination. The payout opportunities attainable under all of that participant's outstanding performance awards will be determined as set forth in the applicable award certificate or any special plan document or separate agreement governing the award.

**Treatment of Awards Upon a Change in Control*.*** Unless otherwise provided in an award certificate, upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company in which awards are not assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the change in control in a manner approved by the Compensation Committee or the Board: (i) all outstanding options and SARs will become fully vested and exercisable, (ii) all time-based vesting restrictions on outstanding awards will lapse, and (iii) the payout level under performance awards will be deemed to have been fully earned as of the effective date of the change in control based upon an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the target level, and there will be a pro rata payout to participants within sixty (60) days following the change in control.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company in which awards are assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the change in control, if within one year after the effective date of the change of control, a participant's employment is terminated without "cause" or the participant resigns for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the 2026 Incentive Plan), then (i) all outstanding options and SARs will become fully vested and exercisable, (ii) all time-based vesting restrictions on outstanding awards will lapse, and (iii) the payout level under performance awards will be determined based upon an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the target level and there will be a pro rata payout to participants within sixty (60) days following their termination of employment.

**Treatment upon a Participant's Retirement*.*** Unless otherwise provided in an award certificate, any special plan document or separate agreement governing an award, upon the participant's retirement, all of that participant's outstanding options and SARs will continue to vest as if he or she had not terminated service and will remain exercisable

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Proposal 4 — Approval of the Company's 2026 Incentive Plan

through the later of (i) the first anniversary of the date of the participant's retirement, and (ii) the first anniversary of the final vesting date (or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of the option or SAR), and all of that participant's outstanding restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units will continue to vest as if he or she had not terminated service. If the participant competes with the Company after retirement by being employed by, serving as a consultant for, owning or otherwise providing services for another floor covering company, such participant's awards will cease to vest, any of his or her unvested awards will terminate immediately, any of his or her vested options and SARs will continue to be exercisable for 30 days, and any of his or her vested restricted stock units and deferred stock units will be settled pursuant to their terms.

**Discretion to Accelerate Awards.** The Compensation Committee may in its sole discretion determine that, upon the termination of service of a participant for any reason, or the occurrence of a change in control, all or a portion of such participant's options or SARs will become fully or partially exercisable, that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the participant's outstanding awards will lapse, and/or that any performance-based criteria with respect to any awards held by that participant will be deemed to be wholly or partially satisfied, in each case, as of such date as the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare.

**Nontransferability of Awards*.*** Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award certificate for awards other than incentive stock options, no award may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

**Clawback of Awards.** Awards granted under the 2026 Incentive Plan shall be subject to any compensation recoupment policy that the Company may adopt from time to time that is applicable by its terms to the participant.

**Termination and Amendment.** The 2026 Incentive Plan will terminate on May 21, 2036, the tenth anniversary of the date of the Annual Meeting, or, if the stockholders approve an amendment to the 2026 Incentive Plan that increases the number of shares subject to the 2026 Incentive Plan, the tenth anniversary of the date of such approval, unless earlier terminated by the Board or Compensation Committee.

The Board or the Compensation Committee may, at any time and from time to time, terminate or amend the 2026 Incentive Plan, but if an amendment would constitute a material amendment requiring Stockholder approval under applicable listing requirements, laws, policies or regulations, then such amendment will be subject to Stockholder approval. In addition, the Board or the Compensation Committee may condition any amendment on the approval of the Company's stockholders for any other reason. No termination or amendment of the 2026 Incentive Plan may, without the written consent of the participant, reduce or diminish the value of an outstanding award. Without the prior approval of the stockholders, and except as otherwise permitted by the anti-dilution provisions of the 2026 Incentive Plan, the 2026 Incentive Plan may not be amended to directly or indirectly reprice, replace or repurchase "underwater" options or SARs. The Compensation Committee may amend or terminate outstanding awards. However, such amendments may require the consent of the participant and, unless approved by the Company's stockholders, (i) the exercise price or base price of an outstanding option or SAR may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, and the original term of an option may not be extended, (ii) an option or SAR may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, other awards, or options or SARS with an exercise price or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original option or SAR, or otherwise, (iii) the Company may not repurchase an option or SAR for value (in cash or otherwise) from a participant if the current fair market value of the shares of the Company's common stock underlying the option or SAR is lower than the exercise price or base price per share of the option or SAR, and (iv) the original term of an option or SAR may not be extended.

**Prohibition on Repricing.** As indicated above under "Termination and Amendment," outstanding stock options and SARs cannot be repriced, directly or indirectly, without prior stockholder approval. The exchange of an "underwater" option or SAR (i.e., an option or SAR having an exercise or base price in excess of the current market value of the underlying stock) for cash or for another award would be considered an indirect repricing and would, therefore, require Stockholder approval.

### Federal Income Tax Consequences
The U.S. federal income tax discussion set forth below is intended for general information only and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential tax effects of the 2026 Incentive Plan. It is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change. State and local income tax consequences are not discussed, and may vary from locality to locality.

**Nonstatutory Stock Options.** There will be no federal income tax consequences to the optionee or to the Company upon the grant of a nonstatutory stock option under the 2026 Incentive Plan. When the optionee exercises a nonstatutory option, however, he or she will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock received upon exercise of the option at the time of exercise over the exercise price, and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction, subject to any applicable limitations under Code

Mohawk Industries, Inc. \| 2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 51

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Proposal 4 — Approval of the Company's 2026 Incentive Plan

Section 162(m). Any gain that the optionee realizes when he or she later sells or disposes of the option shares will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on how long the shares were held.

**Incentive Stock Options.** There typically will be no federal income tax consequences to the optionee or to the Company upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If the optionee holds the acquired option shares for the required holding period of at least two years after the date the option was granted and one year after exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized upon sale or disposition of the option shares will be long-term capital gain or loss, and the Company will not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction. If the optionee disposes of the option shares in a sale, exchange, or other disqualifying disposition before the required holding period ends, he or she will recognize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the option shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price, and the Company will be allowed a federal income tax deduction equal to such amount, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m). While the exercise of an incentive stock option does not result in current taxable income, the excess of the fair market value of the option shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price will be an item of adjustment for purposes of determining the optionee's alternative minimum taxable income.

**SARs.** A participant receiving a stock appreciation right under the 2026 Incentive Plan will not recognize income, and the Company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time the award is granted. When the participant exercises the stock appreciation right, the amount of cash and the fair market value of any shares of Common Stock received will be ordinary income to the participant and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m).

**Restricted Stock.** Unless a participant makes an election to accelerate recognition of the income to the date of grant as described below, a participant will not recognize income, and the Company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a restricted stock award is granted, provided that the award is nontransferable and is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. When the restrictions lapse, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock as of that date (less any amount he or she paid for the stock), and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m). If the participant files an election under Code Section 83(b) within 30 days after the date of grant of the restricted stock, he or she will recognize ordinary income as of the date of grant equal to the fair market value of the stock as of that date (less any amount paid for the stock), and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m). Any future appreciation in the stock will be taxable to the participant at capital gains rates. However, if the stock is later forfeited, the participant will not be able to recover the tax previously paid pursuant to the Code Section 83(b) election.

**Restricted or Deferred Stock Units.** A participant will not recognize income, and the Company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a stock unit award is granted. When the participant receives or has the right to receive shares of Common Stock (or the equivalent value in cash or other property) in settlement of a stock unit award, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock or other property as of that date (less any amount he or she paid for the stock or property), and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m).

**Performance Awards Payable in Cash.** A participant will not recognize income, and the Company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a performance award payable in cash is granted (for example, when the performance goals are established). Upon receipt of cash in settlement of the award, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the cash received, and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m).

**Dividend Equivalents.** A participant will recognize ordinary income, and the Company will be allowed a tax deduction, at the time the dividend equivalents are paid or payable.

John Chevedden, whose address is 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, California 90278, has advised the Company that he intends to present the following stockholder proposal at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Chevedden has indicated that he holds sufficient shares of the Company's common stock to meet the requirements of Rule 14a-8. The stockholder proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting only if properly presented by or on behalf of the proponent.

The text of the stockholder proposal and supporting statement appear exactly as received by the Company unless otherwise noted. All statements contained in the stockholder proposal and supporting statement are the sole responsibility of the proponent. The stockholder proposal may contain assertions about the Company or other matters that the Company believes are incorrect, but the Company has not attempted to refute all those assertions.

---

#### Proposal 5 — Majority Vote Standard
![[MISSING IMAGE: lg_shareholderrights-4c.jpg]](lg_shareholderrights-4c.jpg)

Shareholders request that the Board of Directors take each step necessary so that each voting requirement in our charter and bylaws (that is explicit or implicit due to default to state law) that calls for a greater than simple majority vote be replaced by a requirement for a majority of the votes cast for and against applicable proposals, or a simple majority in compliance with applicable laws.

This means the closest standard to a majority of the votes cast for and against such proposals consistent with applicable laws. This proposal includes that Mohawk Industries shall state in its governing documents that it shall not have any supermajority voting standards, which includes default super-majority voting standards, upon adoption of this proposal.

Shareholders are willing to pay a premium for shares of companies that have excellent corporate governance. The supermajority voting requirements, like those of Mohawk Industries, have been found to be one of 6 entrenching mechanisms that are negatively related to company performance according to "What Matters in Corporate Governance" by Lucien Bebchuk, Alma Cohen and Allen Ferrell of the Harvard Law School. Supermajority requirements can be used to block proposals supported by most shareowners but opposed by management.

This proposal topic won from 74% to 88% support at Weyerhaeuser, Alcoa, Waste Management, Goldman Sachs, FirstEnergy and Macy's. These votes would have been higher than 74% to 88% if more shareholders had access to independent proxy voting advice.

This proposal topic received 98% support each in 2024 at annual meetings of Domino's Pizza, FMC Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Masco Corporation and Power Integrations.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Proposal 5 — Stockholder Proposal — Majority Vote Standard

### Company's Statement of Opposition
The proposal requests that the Company take each step necessary to replace each voting requirement in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws that calls for a greater than a majority voting standard. The Company's Board of Directors has thoroughly reviewed this proposal, and for the reasons articulated below, does not believe the proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board recommends voting AGAINST this proposal.

#### THE COMPANY'S HIGHER VOTING THRESHOLD RELATES ONLY TO ONE PROVISION REGARDING THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS AND THE COMPANY'S CLASSIFIED BOARD
The Company's limited higher voting threshold is narrowly tailored to protect stockholders. Most of the Company's corporate matters are currently decided by a majority voting standard, and only one provision in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation requires a greater than majority voting threshold. The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all then outstanding shares of capital stock is required to make, alter, amend, change, add or repeal any provision in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation regarding the number of directors (including relating to the Company's classified board) or any other provision in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in a manner inconsistent with such existing provisions. The Board of Directors believes that the limited use of a higher voting threshold is necessary and appropriate to protect all stockholders' interests and to maintain the Company's stability.

#### The Existing Provisions Benefit Stockholders
Delaware law expressly permits companies to adopt supermajority voting standards, and many publicly-traded companies have adopted supermajority voting requirements to maximize long-term value for stockholders and protect against stockholder actions unless those actions have broad support among all of the stockholders. The Board believes the current voting requirements are one mechanism to protect smaller stockholders against potential self-interested and abusive actions by a small number of significant stockholders.

The current supermajority requirements provide an important check against corporate actions that may be initiated by one or a few large stockholders. The Company's five largest stockholders, which includes its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (and affiliated entities) and three institutional stockholders, directly and indirectly, own a significant percentage of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. In this context, the elimination of supermajority requirements could result in corporate decisions being disproportionately influenced by a small group of large holders, to the potential detriment of the remaining stockholders.

#### Mohawk's Current Governance Practices Advance Effective Board Oversight
The Board is committed to effective corporate governance and has implemented strong governance practices including:

• Two-thirds of directors are independent, and no directors are affiliated with any of the three significant institutional stockholders;

• A Lead Independent Director participates in setting the agenda of Board of Directors and Committee meetings, coordinates the distribution and presentation of meeting materials, maintains the focus and punctuality of Board of Directors and Committee meetings, presides over executive session meetings of the independent directors, and annually leads the performance evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer.

• Only independent directors serve on the following standing committees of the Board of Directors: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance Committee;

• The Company does not have a poison pill in effect;

• The Governance Committee develops and oversees an annual evaluation process for the Board of Directors;

• The Company proactively engages with stockholders outside the annual meeting process to ensure important matters are raised and considered by all interested stakeholders;

• The Board of Directors consists of members with a broad range of tenures, balancing longstanding tenure that provides deep Company knowledge and industry experience with newer directors who bring fresh insights and different industry experiences;

• Each member of the Board of Directors is required to submit his or her resignation to the Board of Directors upon the expiration of the term of service in which his or her 75th birthday occurs;

• The Governance Committee routinely evaluates the mix of skills and viewpoints provided by the current directors, and evaluates potential directors on the basis of their ability to contribute to the Board of Directors as a result of, among other factors, their business experience, technical skills, industry expertise, leadership qualities, character and integrity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• The Company's leadership has a long-standing commitment to creating a better future by integrating sustainability into every aspect of the Company's global operations. These efforts are actively supervised by the Board of Directors.

Consistent with its current practice, the Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the future implementation of appropriate corporate governance changes. However, for the reasons described above, the Board of Directors does not believe it is in the best interests of stockholders or the Company to implement the stockholder proponent's request.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Proposals**  | **Proposals**  | **Voting Requirements**  |
| **1**  | Election of three persons who will serve as the Company's Class I directors for a three-year term beginning in 2026  | The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the respective nominees at the Annual Meeting  |

| **5**  | Stockholder Proposal — Majority Vote Standard  | The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast  |

---

A majority of votes cast means that the number of votes cast "**FOR**" Proposals 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 exceeds the number of votes cast "**AGAINST**" such proposal.

Shares represented by proxies that are marked "**ABSTAIN**" and broker non-votes will not be counted and will have no effect on the outcome of any of the proposals.

The election of directors (Proposal 1), the advisory vote to approve executive compensation (Proposal 3), the vote to approve the 2026 Incentive Plan (Proposal 4), and the stockholder proposal regarding a majority vote standard (Proposal 5) are non-discretionary items and may not be voted on by brokers, banks or other nominees who have not received specific voting instructions from beneficial owners. The ratification of the appointment of KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 (Proposal 2) is a discretionary item. Generally, banks, brokers and other nominees that do not receive voting instructions from beneficial owners may vote on this proposal in their discretion.

Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to the comparable US GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when reconciled to the corresponding US GAAP measure, help its investors as follows: Non-GAAP revenue measures that assist in identifying growth trends and in comparisons of revenue with prior and future periods and non-GAAP profitability measures that assist in understanding the long-term profitability trends of the Company's business and in comparisons of its profits with prior and future periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.2. <u>SHARE COUNTING</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

Shares subject to Awards settled in cash will be added back to the Plan share reserve and again be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d)

The full number of Shares subject to an Option shall count against the number of Shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan, even if the exercise price of an Option is satisfied through net-settlement or by delivering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e)

Upon exercise of SARs that are settled in Shares, the full number of SARs (rather than any lesser number based on the net number of Shares actually delivered upon exercise) shall count against the number of Shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f)

Substitute Awards granted pursuant to Section 13.12 of the Plan shall not count against the Shares otherwise available for issuance under the Plan under Section 5.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g)

Subject to applicable Exchange requirements, shares available under a stockholder-approved plan of a company acquired by the Company (as appropriately adjusted to Shares to reflect the transaction) may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Awards granted to individuals who were not employees of the Company or its Affiliates immediately before such transaction and will not count against the maximum share limitation specified in Section 5.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)

<u>Time and Conditions of Exercise</u>. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to Section 7.1(e), and may include in the Award Certificate a provision that an Option that is otherwise exercisable and has an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the last day of its term will be automatically exercised on such final date of the term by means of a "net exercise," thus entitling the optionee to Shares equal to the intrinsic value of the Option on such exercise date, less the number of Shares required for tax withholding. The Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised or vested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d)

<u>Payment</u>. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, and the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. As determined by the Committee at or after the Grant Date, payment of the exercise price of an Option may be made, in whole or in part, in the form of (i) cash or cash equivalents, (ii) delivery (by either actual delivery or attestation) of previously-acquired Shares based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised, (iii) withholding of Shares from the Option based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised, (iv) broker-assisted market sales, or (iv) any other "cashless exercise" arrangement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e)

<u>Exercise Term</u>. Except for Nonstatutory Options granted to Participants outside the United States, no Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable for more than ten years from the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the last business day of the term of an Option (x) the exercise of the Option is prohibited by applicable law or (y) Shares may not be purchased or sold by certain employees or directors of the Company due to the "black-out period" of a Company policy or a "lock-up" agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the Committee may provide that the term of the Option shall be extended but not beyond a period of thirty (30) days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement and provided further that no extension will be made if the exercise price of such Option at the date the initial term would otherwise expire is above the Fair Market Value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f)

<u>No Deferral Feature</u>. No Option shall provide for any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise or disposition of the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g)

<u>No Dividend Equivalents</u>. No Option shall provide for Dividend Equivalents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7.2. <u>INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS</u>. The terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who at the Grant Date owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company must have an exercise price per Share of not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date and an Option term of not more than five years. If all of the requirements of Section 422 of the Code (including the above) are not met, the Option shall automatically become a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

#### ARTICLE 8 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8.1. <u>GRANT OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS</u>. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

<u>Right to Payment</u>. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Participant has the right to receive, for each Share with respect to which the SAR is being exercised, the excess, if any, of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

The Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise; over

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)

The base price of the SAR as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Certificate, which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of one Share on the Grant Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

<u>Prohibition on Repricing</u>. Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.1, without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) the base price of a SAR may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, (ii) a SAR may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options or SARs with an exercise or base price that is less than the base price of the original SAR, and (iii) the Company may not repurchase a SAR for value (in cash or otherwise) from a Participant if the current Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the SAR is lower than the base price per share of the SAR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)

<u>Time and Conditions of Exercise</u>. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part, and may include in the Award Certificate a provision that a SAR that is otherwise exercisable and has a base price that is less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the last day of its term will be automatically exercised on such final date of the term, thus entitling the holder to cash or Shares equal to

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Annex B — Mohawk Industries, Inc. 2026 Incentive Plan

the intrinsic value of the SAR on such exercise date, less the cash or number of Shares required for tax withholding. Except for SARs granted to Participants outside the United States, no SAR shall be exercisable for more than ten years from the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the last business day of the term of a SAR (x) the base price of the SAR is prohibited by applicable law or (y) Shares may not be purchased or sold by certain employees or directors of the Company due to the "black-out period" of a Company policy or a "lock-up" agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the Committee may provide that the term of the SAR shall be extended but not beyond a period of thirty (30) days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement and provided further that no extension will be made if the base price of such SAR at the date the initial term would otherwise expire is above the Fair Market Value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d)

<u>No Deferral Feature</u>. No SAR shall provide for any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise or disposition of the SAR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e)

<u>No Dividend Equivalents</u>. No SAR shall provide for Dividend Equivalents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f)

<u>Other Terms</u>. All SARs shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate. Subject to the limitations of this Article 8, the terms, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement (e.g., cash, Shares or other property), and any other terms and conditions of the SAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant and shall be reflected in the Award Certificate.

#### ARTICLE 9 RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.1. <u>GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS</u>. The Committee is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.2. <u>ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS</u>. Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, for example, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, upon the satisfaction of performance goals or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Certificate or any special Plan document governing an Award, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units until such time as Shares of Stock are paid in settlement of such Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.3. <u>DIVIDENDS ON RESTRICTED STOCK</u>. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, dividends accrued on shares of Restricted Stock before they are vested shall be credited by the Company to an account for the Participant and accumulated without interest until the date upon which the host Award becomes vested, and, in either case, any dividends accrued with respect to forfeited Restricted Stock will be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the Participant. In no event shall dividends be paid or distributed until the vesting restrictions of the underlying Restricted Stock Award lapse.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.4. <u>FORFEITURE</u>. Subject to the terms of the Award Certificate and except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of Continuous Service during the applicable restriction period or upon failure to satisfy a performance goal during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.5. <u>DELIVERY OF RESTRICTED STOCK</u>. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be delivered to the Participant at the Grant Date either by book-entry registration or by delivering to the Participant, or a custodian or escrow agent (including, without limitation, the Company or one or more of its employees) designated by the Committee, a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Participant. If physical certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Annex B — Mohawk Industries, Inc. 2026 Incentive Plan

each Participant and to designate the provisions of such Performance Awards as provided in Section 4.3. All Performance Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate or a written program established by the Committee, pursuant to which Performance Awards are awarded under the Plan under uniform terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in such written program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10.2. <u>PERFORMANCE GOALS</u>. The Committee may establish performance goals for Performance Awards which may be based on any criteria selected by the Committee. Such performance goals may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the performance of the Participant, an Affiliate or a division, region, department or function within the Company or an Affiliate. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or an Affiliate conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render performance goals to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance goals in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate. If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit or function during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the performance goals or performance period are no longer appropriate and may (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance goals or the applicable performance period as it deems appropriate to make such goals and period comparable to the initial goals and period, or (ii) make a cash payment to the participant in an amount determined by the Committee.

#### ARTICLE 11 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11.1. <u>GRANT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS</u>. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents with respect to Full-Value Awards granted hereunder. Dividend Equivalents shall entitle the Participant to receive payments equal to ordinary cash dividends or distributions with respect to all or a portion of the number of Shares subject to a Full-Value Award, as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents accruing on unvested Full-Value Awards shall, as provided in the Award Certificate, either (i) be reinvested in the form of additional Shares (subject to Share availability under Section 5.1 hereof), which shall be subject to the same vesting provisions as provided for the host Award, or (ii) be credited by the Company to an account for the Participant and accumulated without interest until the date upon which the host Award becomes vested, and, in either case, any Dividend Equivalents accrued with respect to forfeited Awards will be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the Participant. In no event shall Dividend Equivalents be paid or distributed until the vesting restrictions of the underlying Full-Value Award lapse.

#### ARTICLE 12 STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 12.1. <u>GRANT OF STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS</u>. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including without limitation (but subject to Section 13.6) Shares awarded purely as a "bonus" and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, and Awards valued by reference to book value of Shares or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Parents or Subsidiaries. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards.

#### ARTICLE 13 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.1. <u>AWARD CERTIFICATES</u>. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate. Each Award Certificate shall include such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be specified by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.2. <u>FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS</u>.

Further, payment of Awards may be made in the form of a lump sum, or in installments, as determined by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.3. <u>LIMITS ON TRANSFER</u>. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised or restricted Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Award under the Plan; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers (other than transfers for value) where the Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an

Notwithstanding Section 13.3, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant's death.

If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, any payment due to the Participant shall be made to the Participant's estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant, in the manner provided by the Company, at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.5. <u>STOCK TRADING RESTRICTIONS</u>. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Awards granted under the Plan (other than cash-based awards) shall vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date on which the Award is granted; provided, that the following Awards shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum vesting requirement: (i) substitute Awards granted in connection with awards that are assumed, converted or substituted pursuant to a merger, acquisition or similar transaction entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) Shares delivered in lieu of fully-vested cash obligations (iii) Awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the immediately preceding year's annual meeting, and (iv) any additional Awards the Committee may grant, up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available Shares reserved and authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 5.1 (subject to adjustment under Section 14.1); and, provided, further, that the foregoing restriction does not apply to the Committee's discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any Award, including in cases of Retirement, death, Disability, other termination of employment or a Change in Control, in the terms of the Award Certificate or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.7. <u>ACCELERATION UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY</u>. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Certificate or any special Plan document or separate agreement with a Participant governing an Award, upon the termination of a person's Continuous Service by reason of death or Disability:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

all of that Participant's outstanding Options and SARs shall become fully exercisable, and shall thereafter remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year or until the earlier expiration of the original term of the Option or SAR;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

all time-based vesting restrictions on that Participant's outstanding Awards shall lapse as of the date of termination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)

the payout opportunities attainable under all of that Participant's outstanding Performance Awards shall be determined as provided in the Award Certificate or any special Plan document governing the Award or an employment or similar agreement with the Participant.

To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.8. <u>EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN CONTROL</u>. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Certificate, this Section 13.8 governs the treatment of Awards upon a Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

<u>Awards Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity</u>. With respect to Awards assumed by the Surviving Entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change in Control: if within one year after the effective date of the Change in Control, a Participant's employment is terminated without Cause or the Participant resigns for Good Reason, then (i) all of that Participant's outstanding Options or SARs shall become fully exercisable, (ii) all time-based vesting restrictions on his or her outstanding Awards shall lapse, and (iii) the payout level under all of that Participant's Performance Awards that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control shall be determined and deemed to have been earned as of the date of termination based upon an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the "target" level, and there shall be a prorata payout to such Participant within sixty (60) days following the date of termination of employment (unless a later date is required by Section 16.3 hereof), based upon the length of time within the

With regard to each Award, a Participant shall not be considered to have resigned for Good Reason unless either (i) the Award Certificate includes such provision or (ii) the Participant is party to an employment, severance or similar agreement with the Company or an Affiliate that includes provisions in which the Participant is permitted to resign for Good Reason. Any Options or SARs shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

<u>Awards not Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity</u>. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, and except with respect to any Awards assumed by the Surviving Entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change in Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board: (i) outstanding Options or SARs shall become fully exercisable, (ii) time-based vesting restrictions on outstanding Awards shall lapse, and (iii) the target payout opportunities attainable under outstanding Performance Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned as of the effective date of the Change in Control based upon an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the "target" level, and there shall be a prorata payout to Participants within sixty (60) days following the Change in Control (unless a later date is required by Section 16.4 hereof), based upon the length of time within the performance period that has elapsed prior to the Change in Control. Any Options or SARs shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.9. <u>TREATMENT UPON RETIREMENT</u>. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Certificate or any special Plan document or separate agreement with a Participant governing an Award, upon a Participant's Retirement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

each of that Participant's outstanding Options and SARs shall continue to vest as if the Participant's Continuous Service had not terminated and will remain exercisable through the later of (i) the first anniversary of the termination date of the Participant's Continuous Service and (ii) the first anniversary of the final vesting date; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, in no event shall an Option or SAR be exercisable after the expiration of its term; and <u>further provided</u>, that if the Participant competes with the Company after Retirement by being employed by, serving as a consultant for, owning or otherwise providing services for a floor covering company or other competitor of the Company, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, such Participant's Options and SARs will cease to vest, any of his or her unvested Options and SARs will terminate immediately, and any of his or her vested Options and SARs will continue to be exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date the Committee makes a determination that the Participant engaged in competitive activities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

each of that Participant's outstanding Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units shall continue to vest as if the Participant's Continuous Service had not terminated; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if the Participant competes with the Company after Retirement by being employed by, serving as a consultant for, owning or otherwise providing services for a floor covering company or other competitor of the Company, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, the Participant's Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units will cease to vest, any of his or her unvested Restricted Stock Units will terminate immediately, and any of his or her vested Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units will be settled pursuant to their terms.

To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to fail to meet the requirements of Code Section 422, such Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options. To the extent that, pursuant to this provision, any Incentive Stock Options are exercised more than three months after the date of the Participant's termination due to Retirement, such Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.10. <u>DISCRETION TO ACCELERATE AWARDS</u>. Regardless of whether an event has occurred as described in Section 13.7, 13.8 or 13.9 above, the Committee may in its sole discretion determine that, upon the termination of service of a Participant for any reason, or the occurrence of a Change in Control, all or a portion of such Participant's Options or SARs shall become fully or partially exercisable, that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the Participant's outstanding Awards shall lapse, and/or that any performance-based criteria with respect to any Awards held by that Participant shall be deemed to be wholly or partially satisfied, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 13.10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.11. <u>FORFEITURE EVENTS</u>. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to any compensation recoupment policy that the Committee may adopt from time to time that is applicable by its terms to the Participant. In addition, the Committee may specify in an Award Certificate that the Participant's rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be

limited to, (i) termination of employment for cause, (ii) violation of material Company or Affiliate policies, (iii) breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, (iv) other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Affiliate, or (v) a later determination that the vesting of, or amount realized from, a Performance Award was based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria, whether or not the Participant caused or contributed to such material inaccuracy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.12. <u>SUBSTITUTE AWARDS</u>. The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by employees of another entity who become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as a result of a merger or consolidation of the former employing entity with the Company or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of property or stock of the former employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances.

#### ARTICLE 14 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 14.1. <u>MANDATORY ADJUSTMENTS</u>. In the event of a nonreciprocal transaction between the Company and its stockholders that causes the per-share value of the Stock to change (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering, or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee shall make such adjustments to the Plan and Awards as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights immediately resulting from such transaction. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares that may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the benefit payable on an Award; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not make any adjustments to outstanding Options or SARs that would constitute a modification or substitution of the stock right under Treas. Reg. Sections 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v) that would be treated as the grant of a new stock right or change in the form of payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically, without the necessity for any additional action by the Committee, be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 14.2. <u>DISCRETIONARY ADJUSTMENTS</u>. Upon the occurrence or in anticipation of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, or any transaction described in Section 14.1), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested and non-forfeitable and exercisable (in whole or in part) and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise or base price of the Award, (v) that performance targets and performance periods for Performance Awards will be modified, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee's determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 14.3. <u>GENERAL</u>. Any discretionary adjustments made pursuant to this Article 14 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 15.2. To the extent that any adjustments made pursuant to this Article 14 cause Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

#### ARTICLE 15 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15.1. <u>AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION</u>. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, either (i) materially increase the number of Shares available under the Plan, (ii) expand the types of awards under the Plan, (iii) materially expand the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan, (iv) materially extend the term of the Plan, or (v) otherwise constitute a material change requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of an Exchange, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and provided, further, that the Board or Committee may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company for any reason, including by reason of such approval being necessary or deemed advisable (i) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an Exchange, or (ii) to satisfy any other tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or

regulations. Without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company, the Plan may not be amended to permit: (i) the exercise price or base price of an Option or SAR to be reduced, directly or indirectly, (ii) an Option or SAR to be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options or SARs with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original Option or SAR, or (iii) the Company to repurchase an Option or SAR for value (in cash or otherwise) from a Participant if the current Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option or SAR is lower than the exercise price or base price per share of the Option or SAR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15.2. <u>AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED</u>. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award without approval of the Participant; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Certificate, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant's consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination (with the per-share value of an Option or SAR for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment or termination over the exercise or base price of such Award);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

The original term of an Option or SAR may not be extended without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)

Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.1, without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) the exercise price of an Option or base price of a SAR may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, (ii) an option or SAR may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or SARs with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original Option or SAR, or otherwise, and (iii) the Company may not repurchase an Option or SAR for value (in cash or otherwise) from a Participant if the current Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option or SAR is lower than the exercise price or base price per share of the Option or SAR; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d)

No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant affected thereby. An outstanding Award shall not be deemed to be "adversely affected" by a Plan amendment if such amendment would not reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment (with the per-share value of an Option or SAR for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment over the exercise or base price of such Award).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15.3. <u>COMPLIANCE AMENDMENTS</u>. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan or an Award Certificate, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or Award Certificate to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code), and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 15.3 to any Award granted under the Plan without further consideration or action.

#### ARTICLE 16 GENERAL PROVISIONS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.1. <u>RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly, and determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such Eligible Participants are similarly situated).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

Nothing in the Plan, any Award Certificate or any other document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant's employment or status as an officer, or any Participant's service as a director or consultant, at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a Participant's Award or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)

Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company or any Affiliate and, accordingly, subject to Article 15, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

Annex B — Mohawk Industries, Inc. 2026 Incentive Plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d)

No Award gives a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.2. <u>WITHHOLDING</u>. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. The obligations of the Company under the Plan will be conditioned on such payment or arrangements and the Company or such Affiliate will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, any such withholding requirement may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Award Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld in accordance with applicable tax requirements (up to the maximum individual statutory rate in the applicable jurisdiction as may be permitted under then-current accounting principles to qualify for equity classification), in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. All such elections shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.3 <u>CLAWBACK</u>. All Awards shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time; and (ii) applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.4. <u>SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO SECTION 409A OF THE CODE</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

<u>General</u>. It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan and any Award shall either be exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in a manner that effects such intent. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Plan or any Award is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers (other than in his or her capacity as a Participant) shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by any Participant or other taxpayer as a result of the Plan or any Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

<u>Definitional Restrictions</u>. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt "deferred compensation" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code ("<u>Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation</u>") would otherwise be payable or distributable, or a different form of payment (e.g., lump sum or installment) of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would be effected, under the Plan or any Award Certificate by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control, or the Participant's Disability or separation from service, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable or distributable to the Participant, and/or such different form of payment will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet any description or definition of "change in control event", "disability" or "separation from service", as the case may be, in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any Award upon a Change in Control, Disability or separation from service, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any amount or benefit, or the application of a different form of payment of any amount or benefit, such payment or distribution shall be made at the time and in the form that would have applied absent the Change in Control, Disability or separation from service, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)

<u>Allocation among Possible Exemptions</u>. If any one or more Awards granted under the Plan to a Participant could qualify for any separation pay exemption described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9), but such Awards in the aggregate exceed the dollar limit permitted for the separation pay exemptions, the Company shall determine which Awards or portions thereof will be subject to such exemptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d)

<u>Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances</u>. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan or any Award Certificate by reason of a Participant's separation from service during a period in which the Participant is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Committee under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i)

the amount of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Participant's separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant's separation from service (or, if the Participant dies during such period, within 30 days after the Participant's death) (in either case, the "<u>Required Delay Period</u>"); and

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Annex B — Mohawk Industries, Inc. 2026 Incentive Plan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii)

the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period.

For purposes of this Plan, the term "<u>Specified Employee</u>" has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, as permitted in such final regulations, the Company's Specified Employees and its application of the six-month delay rule of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with rules adopted by the Board or any committee of the Board, which shall be applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the Company, including this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e)

<u>Installment Payments</u>. If, pursuant to an Award, a Participant is entitled to a series of installment payments, such Participant's right to the series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not to a single payment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "series of installment payments" has the meaning provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) (or any successor thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f)

<u>Timing of Release of Claims</u>. Whenever an Award conditions a payment or benefit on the Participant's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, such release must be executed and all revocation periods shall have expired within sixty (60) days after the date of termination of the Participant's employment; failing which such payment or benefit shall be forfeited. If such payment or benefit is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the Company may elect to make or commence payment at any time during such 60-day period. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, then, subject to subsection (c) above, (i) if such 60-day period begins and ends in a single calendar year, the Company may make or commence payment at any time during such period at its discretion, and (ii) if such 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the payment shall be made or commence during the second such calendar year (or any later date specified for such payment under the applicable Award), even if such signing and non-revocation of the release occur during the first such calendar year included within such 60-day period. In other words, a Participant is not permitted to influence the calendar year of payment based on the timing of signing the release.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g)

<u>Permitted Acceleration</u>. The Company shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distribution permissible under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to Participants of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution(s) meets the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.5. <u>UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS</u>. The Plan is intended to be an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of grantor trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments in lieu of Shares or with respect to Awards. This Plan is not intended to be subject to ERISA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.6. <u>RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS</u>. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan. Nothing contained in the Plan will prevent the Company from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.7. <u>EXPENSES</u>. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.8. <u>TITLES AND HEADINGS</u>. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.9. <u>GENDER AND NUMBER</u>. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.10. <u>FRACTIONAL SHARES</u>. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.11. <u>GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any period of time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act), sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act, such as that set forth in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or qualification of the Shares covered by an Award upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Award or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Award unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to the Committee's determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state or foreign law or to take any other action in order to cause the issuance and delivery of such certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.12. <u>GOVERNING LAW</u>. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.13. <u>SEVERABILITY</u>. In the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein as invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions will be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.14. <u>NO LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF COMPANY</u>. The grant of any Award shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for proper corporate purposes, to draft or assume awards, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company may issue or transfer Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Award granted to such Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
