**Explanatory Note**

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A ("**Amendment No. 1**") amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of AZZ Inc. (the "**Company**"), dated January 28, 2026 (the "**Original Report**"), in which the Company reported the retirement of Mr. Bryan Stovall effective June 8, 2026, and the appointment of Mr. Todd Bella as President – Metal Coatings effective March 1, 2026. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is solely to amend the Original Report to disclose Mr. Bella's compensation in his new role which has now been determined.

**Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management**

**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

As previously disclosed in the Company's Original Report, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Mr. Todd Bella to serve as the Company's President – Metal Coatings, effective March 1, 2026. Mr. Bella, age 46, has been serving as Senior Vice President, Western Operations – Metal Coatings since 2025.

In his position as the Company's President – Metal Coatings, Mr. Bella will be eligible to earn an annual cash incentive bonus under the Company's Senior Management Bonus Plan, as amended to date (the "**STI Plan**"), which provides for an annual cash incentive target based upon 60% of Mr. Bella's annual base salary pursuant to the achievement of certain individual and Company performance metrics for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027. He will also be eligible each year to receive an annual equity award, the amount and nature to be determined annually by the Compensation Committee. For the Company's fiscal year ending February 28, 2027, Mr. Bella's equity award target value will consist of 50% performance share units ("**PSUs**") and 50% restricted stock units ("**RSUs**") issued under the Company's 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "**2023 LTI Plan**"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of his annual equity grants, Mr. Bella is also subject to confidentiality and other restrictive covenants prohibiting competition, solicitation of customers and employees and interference with business relationships during his employment and for 12 months thereafter.

Mr. Bella will participate in the AZZ Inc. Executive Officer Severance Plan, whereby certain severance payments and benefits would be paid to Mr. Bella if his employment is terminated by AZZ without cause or by Mr. Bella for good reason, or if Mr. Bella's employment is terminated following a change-in-control (the "**Executive Officer Severance Plan**"). He will also participate in the AZZ Executive Retiree LTI Plan (the "**Executive Retiree Plan**"), which provides for continued vesting of certain outstanding annual equity awards following a qualified "Retirement," subject to meeting age, service, notice, and other requirements as set forth in the Executive Retiree Plan.

As disclosed in the Original Report, Mr. Bryan Stovall will continue to serve as the Company's Chief Operating Officer – Metal Coatings until his previously announced retirement date of June 8, 2026 to ensure the smooth transition of his job responsibilities to Mr. Bella.
