## Corporate Governance

#### Meetings
During 2025, the Board held a total of ten (10) meetings. Each incumbent director attended at least seventy five percent (75%) of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board during the period for which he or she was a director and (ii) the total number of meetings of all Board committees (the "Committees") on which he or she served during the period for which he or she was a member of a Committee. We held an annual meeting of stockholders on July 31, 2025. It is the policy of the Board to encourage its members to attend our annual meeting of stockholders. Five of our then eight directors attended our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. Messrs. Heraud, Roth and Wright were appointed to our Board subsequent to our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

During 2025, our Board generally held executive sessions, or meetings of non-employee directors without members of our executive management team present, as part of regularly scheduled Board, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meetings. Generally, Rory Cullinan, our lead independent director, presides over the Board executive sessions and the chairs of each committee preside over the committee executive sessions.

#### Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board is responsible for overseeing the management of our Company. The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines ("Governance Guidelines") which set forth our governance principles relating to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;director independence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;director responsibilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mandatory retirement age for independent directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;board structure and meetings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the performance evaluation of our Board.

Our Governance Guidelines are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at *www.ticsolutions.com*<sup>1</sup>.

#### Board Leadership Structure
The Board has not adopted a formal policy regarding separating or combining the offices of Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Co-Chairmen of the Board. Instead the Board reserves the right to make this determination from time to time in a manner that the Board deems most appropriate for the Company. Although the Board recognizes the benefits of having a combined CEO and Chairman, currently, we separate the positions of our CEO and Co-Chairmen of the Board in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Co-Chairmen of the Board provide strategic guidance to the CEO and set the agenda for, and preside over, the Board meetings. In addition, we believe that the current separation provides a more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of the CEO's performance. The separation also allows the Co-Chairmen of the Board to strengthen the Board's independent oversight of our performance and governance standards.

#### Director Independence
Our Board reviews the independence of the current and potential members of the Board in accordance with independence requirements set forth in the NYSE rules and applicable provisions of the Exchange Act. During its review, the Board considers transactions and relationships between each director and potential directors, as well as any member of his or her immediate family, and the Company and its affiliates, including those related-party transactions contemplated by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. At least annually, the Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with the Company, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company, that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of the director's independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such relationships or transactions exist that are inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. Our Board has determined that all directors except Mr. Franklin, Sir Martin, Mr. Heraud and Mr. Pizzey are "independent" as such term is defined by NYSE rules, our Governance Guidelines and the federal securities laws.

#### Board Committees
Our Board has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Committees" and each a "Committee"). Copies of the Committee charters setting forth the responsibilities of each Committee are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at *www.ticsolutions.com*, and such information is also available in print to any stockholder who requests it through our Investor Relations department. The Committees will periodically review their respective charters and recommend any needed revisions to the Board. The following is a summary of the composition of each Committee:

#### Audit Committee
*Number of Meetings in 2025: 4*

The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee Charter that governs the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;overseeing preparation of our financial statements, the financial reporting process and our compliance with legal and regulatory matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;appointing and overseeing the work of our independent auditor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;preapproving all auditing services and permitted non-auditing services to be performed for us by our independent auditor and approving the fees associated with such work;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;approving the scope of the annual audit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviewing interim and year-end financial statements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;overseeing our cybersecurity and information technology risks, controls and procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;overseeing our internal audit function, if any, reviewing any significant reports to management arising from such internal audit function and reporting to the Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;approving the Audit Committee report required to be included in our annual proxy statement.

The Audit Committee has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and to retain counsel for this purpose where appropriate. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent accounting firm.

The Board has reviewed the background, experience, and independence of the Audit Committee members and based on this review, has determined that each member of the Audit Committee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;meets the independence requirements of the NYSE governance standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;meets the enhanced independence standards for audit committee members required by the SEC; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is financially literate, knowledgeable and qualified to review financial statements.

In addition, the Board has determined that each of Messrs. Cullinan and Hochfelder qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" under the SEC regulations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Compensation Committee

#### Number of Meetings in 2025: 3
The Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee Charter that governs the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;assisting the Board in developing and evaluating potential candidates for executive positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for the CEO, evaluating the CEO's performance and recommending to the Board the CEO's compensation based on such evaluation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;determining the compensation of other non-CEO executive officers and all equity awards to such executive officers and other employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviewing on a periodic basis compensation and benefits paid to directors and recommending such compensation to the Board for approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviewing and approving our equity-based compensation plans and incentive compensation plans, including reviewing and approving equity awards issued under such plans; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;approving the Compensation Committee report on executive compensation (if and to the extent) required to be included in our annual proxy statement.

The Board has reviewed the background, experience and independence of the Compensation Committee members and based on this review, has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;meets the independence requirements of the NYSE governance standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;meets the enhanced independence standards for Compensation Committee members established by the SEC.

#### Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our Compensation Committee members is or has been an officer or employee of TIC Solutions. During 2025, none of our executive officers served as a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Compensation Committee, and none of our executive officers served as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, whose executive officers served as a member of our Board.

#### Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

#### Number of Meetings in 2025: 2
The Board has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter that governs the responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;assisting our Board in identifying prospective director nominees and recommending nominees for each annual meeting of stockholders to our Board of Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;leading the search for individuals qualified to become members of the Board and selecting director nominees to be presented for stockholder approval at our annual meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviewing the structure of the Committees and recommending to the Board for approval directors to serve as members of each Committee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;developing and recommending to the Board for approval a set of corporate governance guidelines and generally advising the Board on corporate governance matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviewing such corporate governance guidelines on a periodic basis and recommending changes as necessary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;overseeing any self-evaluations of the Board and each Committee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviewing director nominations submitted by stockholders.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may, when it deems appropriate, delegate certain of its responsibilities to one or more Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members or subcommittees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers possible candidates from many sources, including stockholders. In making nominations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is required to submit candidates who have the highest personal and professional integrity, who have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment and who shall be most effective, in conjunction with the other nominees to the Board, in collectively serving the long-term interests of the stockholders. In evaluating nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is required to take into consideration the following attributes, which are desirable for a member of the Board: leadership, independence, interpersonal skills, financial acumen, business experiences, industry knowledge and diversity of viewpoints. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the suitability of potential candidates nominated by stockholders in the same manner as other candidates recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Board has reviewed the background, experience and independence of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members and based on this review, has determined that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the independence requirements of the NYSE governance standards and SEC rules and regulations.

#### Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our Board has adopted a written Code of Conduct ("Code of Conduct") that establishes the standards of ethical conduct applicable to all our directors, officers, and employees. In addition, our Board has adopted a written Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers ("Code of Ethics") applicable to our CEO, chief financial officer ("CFO"), chief accounting officer, controller and other senior financial officers. Copies of our Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics are publicly available in the Investor Relations section of our website at *www.ticsolutions.com*. Any waiver of our Code of Ethics with respect to our CEO, CFO, controller or persons performing similar functions may only be authorized by our Board and will be disclosed as promptly as practicable, as may be required under applicable SEC and NYSE rules on our Investor Relations section of our website at *www.ticsolutions.com*.

#### Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy ("Insider Trading Policy") applicable to directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. We believe the Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with the insider trading laws, rules and regulations and the applicable listing requirements of the NYSE. The Insider Trading Policy is included as Exhibit 19.1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

#### Anti-Hedging Policy
Our Insider Trading Policy makes clear that no employee or director may engage in hedging transactions or any other forms of monetization transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

### Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Since January 1, 2025, we have not entered into any related party transactions other than as set forth below.

#### Insider Letter Agreement
In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into a letter agreement ("Insider Letter") with each of Sir Martin E. Franklin, Mr. Robert A. E. Franklin, James E. Lillie and certain other individuals affiliated with Mariposa Acquisition IX, LLC (the "Founder Entity", and such individuals, the "Founders") who hold the Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to which they agreed, among other things that they would not, without our prior written consent, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Series A Preferred Stock (excluding any Common Stock received in respect of their Annual Dividend Amount (as defined in our Certificate of Incorporation) received thereon from time to time), for a period of five years after the closing of our acquisition of ASP Acuren Holdings, Inc. (the "Acuren Acquisition") (subject to certain customary exceptions).

#### Registration Rights
Pursuant to the Insider Letter, we have also agreed to provide the Founders and Founder Entity with certain registration rights that require us to provide them with such information and assistance following the Acuren Acquisition, subject to the restrictions described in the paragraph above and customary exceptions, as they may reasonably request to enable it to effect a disposition of all or part of

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

their Common Stock or Warrants, including, without limitation, the preparation, qualification and approval of a prospectus in respect of such Common Stock or Warrants. Concurrently with the closing of the Acuren Acquisition on July 30, 2024, we raised cash proceeds of $666.6 million (net of issuance costs) from the issuance of 58,259,984 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share (the "PIPE Financing") and early exercise of 36,710,124 Warrants at $10.00 per whole share of Common Stock (the "Warrant Financing"). In connection with the Acuren Acquisition, certain entities managed by Viking Global Investors LP ("Viking"), certain entities affiliated with Permian Investment Partners LP ("Permian") and an entity managed by Progeny 3, Inc. ("Progeny"), each of which beneficially own more than 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares, irrevocably committed to purchase Common Stock in the PIPE Financing. In addition, in connection with the Warrant Financing, each of the Founder Entity, Viking, Permian and Progeny irrevocably committed to exercise their respective Warrants. In exchange for such commitments, we agreed, among other things, that when requested by written notice (delivered not earlier than three months following the Acuren Acquisition), we would use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly enter into a customary registration rights agreement with such entity, which agreement would provide for customary registration rights (subject to customary exceptions) with respect to the Common Stock, or any other equity interests later acquired by such entity in exchange for the Common Stock in connection with a recapitalization, redomiciliation or similar transaction.

#### Consulting Services Agreement
On July 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with Mariposa Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Sir Martin. Under this agreement, Mariposa Capital, LLC agreed to provide certain services, including corporate development and consulting services, consulting services with respect to mergers and acquisitions, investor relations services, strategic planning consulting services, capital expenditure allocation consulting services, strategic treasury consulting services and such other services relating to the Company as may from time to time be mutually agreed. In connection with these services, Mariposa Capital, LLC is entitled to receive an annual fee equal to $2.0 million, payable in quarterly installments. The initial term of this agreement terminated on July 30, 2025 and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its intention not to renew this agreement no later than 90 days prior to the expiration of the term. This agreement may only be terminated by the Company upon a vote of a majority of our directors. In the event that this agreement is terminated by the Company, the effective date of the termination will be six months following the expiration of the initial term or a renewal term, as the case may be.

#### Policy Concerning Related Party Transactions
The Board has determined that the Audit Committee is best suited to review and approve or ratify transactions with related persons, in accordance with the policy set forth in the Audit Committee Charter. Such review will apply to any transaction or series of related transactions or any material amendment to any such transaction involving a related person and the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of the policy, "related persons" will consist of executive officers, directors, director nominees, any stockholder beneficially owning more than 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock, and immediate family members of any such persons. In reviewing related person transactions, the Audit Committee will take into account all factors that it deems appropriate, including whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person's interest in the transaction. No member of the Audit Committee will be permitted to participate in any review, consideration or approval of any related person transaction in which the director or any of his or her immediate family member is the related person.

#### Board Role in Risk Management
The Board is actively involved in the oversight and management of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through Committees of the Board, as disclosed in the descriptions of each of the Committees above and in the charters of each of the Committees, but the full Board has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our policies and procedures with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The other Committees of the Board consider the risks within their areas of responsibility. The Board satisfies their oversight responsibility through full reports by each Committee chair regarding the Committee's considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

#### Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our Compensation Committee's guiding principle when reviewing and determining executive compensation is to ensure that the Company's compensation policies, practices and decisions attract and retain our key employees necessary to support the Company's growth and success, both operationally and strategically, and to motivate executives to achieve short- and long-term goals with the ultimate objective of creating sustainable improvements in stockholder value by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;appropriately rewarding executives for their contributions to our successful performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;providing that a significant portion of each executive's compensation is "at risk" and tied to overall Company, business unit and individual performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;balancing short- and long-term compensation elements to motivate and reward superior performance without encouraging excessive or unnecessary risk taking; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;designing compensation programs that align with the interests of our stockholders.

#### Compensation Governance Practices
Our executive compensation governance practices are intended to support the needs of the business, drive performance, and ensure management alignment with the short- and long-term interests of our stockholders. Selected key policies embedded in our executive compensation program are set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pay for performance with a substantial majority of pay dependent on performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;use multi-year vesting terms for annual executive officer equity awards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;balance short and long-term incentives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;engage an independent compensation consultant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;benchmark compensation to peer and market data during compensation decision-making process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;provide limited excessive perquisites to executives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prohibit liberal share recycling; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prohibit hedging or short sales of the Company's stock.

#### Executive Compensation Setting Process
*Review of the Compensation Committee*

Our Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee Charter that governs the responsibilities of our Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the design, implementation and administration of short- and long-term compensation (including benefits and awards under our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan")) for directors and executive officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for the CEO, evaluating the CEO's performance and recommending to the Board the CEO's compensation based on such evaluation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;determining compensation for non-CEO Company executive officers.

When making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee analyzes data relating to our peer group (as identified below in "Peer Group and Market Benchmarking") and considers the dynamics of operating in the Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (TICC), engineering, and geospatial services industries, the importance of rewarding and retaining talented and experienced executives to continue to guide the Company, the alignment of our executive compensation program with stockholders' interests and Company's past-year performance and growth. In reviewing and determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also considers: compensation levels at peer group companies derived from compensation surveys provided by outside consultants; the achievement of specific pre-established financial goals; a subjective determination of the executives' past performance and expected future contributions to the Company; and past equity awards granted to such executives. In connection with the 2025 executive compensation program design, the Compensation Committee received analyses, guidance and recommendations, including information on executive compensation market trends and practices of peer group companies, provided by Mercer and Aon. Mercer and Aon do not perform any other services for the Company other than consulting services provided to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has reviewed the independence of each of Mercer and Aon in light of SEC rules and NYSE requirements regarding compensation consultants and has concluded that the work for the Compensation Committee during 2025 did not raise any conflicts of interest.

*Peer Group and Market Benchmarking*

In connection with developing an executive compensation program for 2025, the Compensation Committee identified a representative peer group in the same or similar industries that the Compensation Committee believes is representative of the labor market from which we recruit talent. Factors used to select the peer group included industry, revenues, profitability, market capitalization, and a qualitative review of potential companies' business fundamentals to ensure alignment with our Company. Several companies were identified whose business models more closely align with the Company, but which have a larger revenue base. The approach taken by the Compensation Committee in selecting the primary peer group excluded these larger companies from the market data review but included them as "reference peers" for the purpose of providing qualitative data about program design for the Compensation Committee's reference.

The primary peer group is composed of the following companies:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• DXP Enterprises | • NV5 Global\* |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expro Group Holdings N.V. | • Matrix Service Company |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Helix Energy Solutions Group | • Oil States International |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enpro | • Forum Energy Technologies |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Archrock | • DMC Global |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ESCO Technologies | • Onion Group Holdings |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Columbus McKinnon | • Mistras Group |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Team | • Enerpac Tool Group |

---

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prior to the NV5 Acquisition.

The reference peer group is composed of the following companies: Oceaneering International, MYR Group, APi Group Corporation, and Jacobs Solutions. From time to time, the Compensation Committee will use other peer groups to evaluate and determine executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee expects to continue to utilize outside compensation and benefits consultants from time to time to assist the Compensation Committee in designing executive pay, compensation design and other related matters. The information from any outside consultant regarding pay practices at peer companies will be used by the Compensation Committee as a resource in its deliberations regarding executive compensation and will be useful in determining the marketplace competitiveness as well as reasonableness and appropriateness of our executive compensation programs.

*Role of Executives in Establishing Compensation*

Our CEO provides input on individual performance and competitive pay positioning of our executive management team, including our NEOs. Our CEO then makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the target compensation, job leveling and grading for such executive officers.

#### Components of the Executive Compensation Program
Our Board approved executive employment agreements for Mr. Pizzey and Ms. Schultes and, on March 31, 2026, for Mr. Heraud (collectively, the "Employment Agreements") which provide for a base salary, annual cash incentive award, annual time- and performance-based equity incentive awards (each, an "LTI Award") and participation in our employee benefits plans. Ms. O'Brien has an employment agreement with NV5 Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company. Messrs. Tong and Conaway and Ms. Sutherland did not have employment agreements with the Company.

The Company's 2025 executive compensation program contained three primary components: Base Salary; Annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation, and Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that a combination of these components provides the NEOs with a competitive executive compensation package that serves to motivate and retain the executive while promoting the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation Committee approved, and the Company implemented, a 2025 executive compensation program. The 2025 executive compensation program was intended to attract and retain a high caliber of executive talent, align incentives with stockholder's interests, and support the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy. From time to time, the Compensation Committee also approves discretionary awards to executives in connection with their initial employment or for extraordinary performance, a significant contribution to the Company's strategic objectives or other retention or business purposes.

The following table summarizes the primary components of the 2025 executive compensation program:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  **Component** | **Fixed or Variable** | **Component Goal(s)** | **Key Features and Considerations** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Base Salary | Fixed short-term cash | Attract and retain key talent | Peer group and market-based data; role; performance; pay equity; compensation history and executive potential |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Annual Cash Incentive Award | Variable short-term cash and equity | Attract and retain key talent<br> Motivate and reward achievement of annual financial Company performance targets | Award amounts are established as a percentage of base salary based on role and responsibilities and retention objectives<br> Awards generally determined and paid based on achievement of Company financial performance goals after conclusion of year |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Annual Long Term Incentive Awards | Variable long-term equity | Attract and retain key talent<br> Motivate and reward achievement of Company financial performance targets supporting long-term strategic plan | Award amounts based on role and responsibility; pay equity; past performance/executive potential; and retention objectives/risks<br> Awards are a blend of time-based and performance-based equity, with heavy reliance on long-term performance awards to balance retention and long-term performance goals |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Benefits and other Perquisites | Not applicable | Attract and retain key talent with appropriate health and welfare benefits | Participation in health, welfare and retirement benefit plans, generally on the same terms as all other full-time employees<br> Limited additional benefits consistent with the competitive marketplace |

---

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

*Base Salary*

The Compensation Committee believes a competitive base salary, in combination with health, welfare and retirement benefits, serves to attract and retain high-quality executives needed to lead our complex business.

At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee reviews our chief executive officer's salary recommendations for each NEO (other than himself) and then sets base salary levels for such year based on a number of factors, including compensation market data, the position's complexity and level of responsibility, the position's importance in relation to other executive positions, and the assessment of the executive's performance and other circumstances, including, for example, experience in that position. In addition, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration evaluations of each individual NEO, market changes and the economic and business conditions affecting the Company at the time of the evaluation and the resulting target total cash compensation as compared to market data.

In March 2025, the Compensation Committee evaluated the base salaries of its executive officers based on peer group compensation data provided by Mercer. Mr. Pizzey's base salary was set at $691,256 in July 2024 in connection with the Acuren Acquisition and no further changes were subsequently made. Ms. Schultes joined the Company in December 2024 and received an increase in her base salary in December 2025 from $450,000 to $550,000 based on new market data from Aon and broadened responsibilities. Ms. Sutherland's base salary was increased from $222,577 to $300,000 in March 2025. Mr. Conaway joined the Company in November 2024 and did not receive an increase in his base salary in 2025.

In August 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of NV5 Global, Inc. and appointed (i) Mr. Heraud as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, (ii) Mr. Tong as General Counsel of the Company, and (iii) Ms. O'Brien as Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company. In connection with such appointments, the Compensation Committee approved a base salary of $550,000 for Mr. Heraud, while Mr. Tong and Ms. O'Brien maintained their pre-NV5 Acquisition base salaries.

*Annual Cash Incentive Compensation*

*2025 Annual Cash Incentive for Messrs. Pizzey and Conaway and Mses. Schultes and Sutherland Opportunity*.

In 2025, Company executives had an opportunity to earn cash incentive compensation based on the achievement of annual performance goals that were based, in large part, on the annual budget process and approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the appropriateness of the performance metrics, their correlation to the Company's overall growth strategy and the impact of such performance metrics on long-term stockholder value, and, when it deems appropriate makes changes to the metrics. For 2025, Messrs. Pizzey and Conaway and Mses. Schultes and Sutherland were eligible for an annual cash incentive opportunity as outlined below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Named Executive Officer** | **Target Annual Incentive as a Percentage of Salary** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Talman Pizzey | 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Kristin Schultes | 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Fiona Sutherland<sup>(1)</sup> | 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Greg Conaway<sup>(2)</sup> | 40% |

---

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Sutherland's employment with the Company terminated on September 30, 2025 and, as such, she did not receive annual cash incentive compensation for 2025.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Conaway's employment with the Company terminated on April 11, 2025, and as such, he did not receive annual cash incentive compensation for 2025.

*Performance Metric, Target and Payout.* Payouts under the annual cash incentive portion of the executive compensation plan can range from 0% to 200% of target, with a threshold payout of 50% of target and a maximum payout of 200% of target based on achievement against the performance targets. If the performance target was achieved between the threshold level and target or between the target and maximum level, the amount of the annual cash incentive payment with respect to that performance goal is calculated on a linear basis from the threshold level or target level, as applicable.

For 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that the annual cash incentive compensation paid to our NEOs would be based on performance against the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $186 million for which the executive would receive 100% of his or her target bonus. In the event 90% of the Adjusted EBITDA target was met, the executive would receive 50% of his or her target bonus and in the event the target was exceeded by 10% or more, the executive would receive a range of 150% to 200% of his or her target bonus. In March 2026, the compensation committee determined that the threshold amount was not met. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excludes the impact of certain non-cash and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

non-recurring items. The Compensation Committee believes that our NEOs can impact Adjusted EBITDA and that it is one of the most important performance metrics used by investors, stockholders and creditors as an indicator of the performance of the Company's business.

In early 2026, the Compensation Committee evaluated the Company's 2025 performance and determined that our 2025 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was below the threshold and, as such, Mr. Pizzey and Ms. Schultes would not receive a payout under the 2025 annual incentive program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee, recognizing Ms. Schultes' individual performance and contributions and the need to retain and incentivize Ms. Schultes, approved a one-time grant of 44,408 time-based restricted stock units that vest on September 16, 2027. Mr. Pizzey retired effective March 31, 2026, and did not receive a similar one-time grant.

*2025 Annual Incentive for Messrs. Heraud and Tong and Ms. O'Brien*

Prior to the NV5 Acquisition, the compensation committee for NV5 eliminated annual cash bonuses for executive officers beginning in 2015 in favor of all incentive compensation being granted in the form of annual equity incentive awards of time-based restricted stock. As such, Mr. Heraud and Ms. O'Brien received 49,301 and 20,045 restricted stock units, respectively, based on NV5's 2025 performance. Messrs. Heraud and Tong and Ms. O'Brien did not receive an annual cash incentive bonus for 2025. Going forward, Mr. Heraud and Ms. O'Brien will participate in our annual cash incentive program.

*Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards*

Long-term incentive awards granted by the Compensation Committee are intended to align the financial interests of our executives with those of the stockholders of the Company. We believe that stockholders' interests are best served by balancing the focus of executives' decisions between short- and long-term measures. We also believe that providing our executives with opportunities to acquire significant stakes in the Company's growth incentivizes and rewards executives for sound business decisions and high-performance team environments, while fostering the accomplishment of short- and long-term strategic objectives and improvement in stockholder value, all of which are essential to our ongoing success. We expect our executive officers and other key management personnel to be and remain stockholders in the Company.

Long-term incentive awards are granted under (i) our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Plan, which was approved by our Board effective as of July 30, 2024 in connection with the closing of the Acuren Acquisition, or (ii) such other long-term incentive plans, programs and arrangements that are or may be established and modified from time to time by the Compensation Committee. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the Plan and any other long-term incentive plan, program and/or arrangements applicable to senior-level executives as established and modified from time to time by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion.

The 2025 executive compensation program adopted by the Compensation Committee includes the grant of long-term incentive awards under the Plan. The Compensation Committee believes that the structure of long-term incentive awards should correlate the value of any such award to the achievement by the Company of long-term and strategic objectives. As such, the Compensation Committee expects that a significant percentage of the amount of long-term incentive awards will be subject to the achievement of Company performance goals. Time-based awards are awarded as part of a balanced approach to encourage retention and ensure that the Company's compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk-taking.

*Opportunity and Design.* The Compensation Committee annually determines the value of each executive NEO's long-term incentive award based on each officer's role, responsibilities, performance and potential, market data and retention objectives.

Pursuant to our executive compensation program, in April 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a mix of performance-based and time-based restricted stock units to the then named executive officers. The time-based restricted stock units represented 1/3 of the total target award amount and vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The performance-based restricted stock units represented 2/3 of the total target award amount (assuming performance and vesting at target levels) and vest at threshold or target levels of 50% or 100%, respectively, if the applicable performance goal is met at the corresponding threshold or target level.

In April 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the following target long-term incentive awards for our NEOs:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Named Executive Officer** | **2025 Time-Based <br>Restricted Stock Units (#)** | **2025 Performance-Based <br>Restricted Stock Units (#)** | **2025 Total Long-Term <br>Incentive Award ($)** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Talman Pizzey | 73333 | 146667 | $2021800 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Kristin Schultes | 30000 | 60000 | $827100 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Fiona Sutherland | 20000 | 40000 | $551400 |

---

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Effective September 30, 2025, Ms. Sutherland forfeited the above time-based and performance-based restricted stock units in connection with the termination of her employment with the Company. In addition, in connection with Mr. Pizzey's retirement, effective March 31, 2026, (i) 73,333 time-based restricted stock units were accelerated and immediately vested, (ii) 73,333 of the performance-based restricted stock units remain outstanding and will continue to vest subject to the Company's achievement of its 2026 adjusted EBITDA target and (iii) the remaining 73,334 performance-based restricted stock units were forfeited. In early 2026, the Compensation Committee approved an adjustment to increase the Adjusted EBITDA target for Ms. Schultes' 2025 performance-based restricted stock units to account for the NV5 Acquisition. Mr. Conaway's employment with the Company terminated prior to the Compensation Committee's approval of the annual target long-term incentive awards.

*Performance Metric.* For the 2025 long-term incentive award, the performance metric is a three-year cumulative adjusted EBITDA goal and the achievement of the goal will be determined by the Compensation Committee following the three-year performance period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027.

On August 4, 2025, in connection with his appointment to President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, the Compensation Committee approved a grant of 35,715 time-based restricted stock units and 35,714 performance-based restricted stock units to Mr. Heraud. The time-based restricted stock units vest on September 30, 2028 and the performance-based stock units, to the extent earned, vest on September 30, 2026 based on NV5's achievement of its full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA target. The performance criteria for Mr. Heraud's performance-based restricted stock units was not met.

Mr. Tong and Ms. O'Brien did not receive an equity grant during 2025.

*Transaction Bonus*

In August 2025, the Compensation Committee approved a one-time transaction bonus of 60,000 performance-based restricted stock units to Ms. Schultes in connection with the closing of the NV5 Acquisition. The performance-based restricted stock units vest on September 30, 2026 between 0% to 100% based on the achievement of the Company's annualized savings target.

*Benefits and Other Perquisites*

We provide employees, including the NEOs, with a range of employee benefits including life and health insurance, disability benefits and retirement benefits (as described below), that are designed to assist in attracting and retaining skilled employees critical to our long-term success, providing basic financial stability, and to be competitive with market practice.

Most of our employees, prior to the NV5 acquisition, including certain of our NEOs, are eligible to participate in the Company's 401(k) Plan (the "Acuren 401(k) Plan"). Pursuant to the Acuren 401(k) Plan, employees may elect to contribute a portion of their current compensation to the Acuren 401(k) Plan, in an amount up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. The Acuren 401(k) Plan provides the option for the Company to make matching contributions.

Company matching contributions allocated to certain NEOs under the Acuren 401(k) Plan, and amounts paid by the Company for the car allowance for NEOs and for certain relocation expense reimbursements are shown in the "All Other Compensation" column in the Summary Compensation Table in the "Executive Compensation" section.

*Benefits and Other Perquisites with respect to Messrs. Heraud and Tong and Ms. O'Brien*

For 2025, Messrs. Heraud and Tong and Ms. O'Brien were entitled to participate in the NV5 401(k) plan that allows employees to accumulate assets to fund their retirement benefits. The NV5 401(k) plan allows us to maintain a competitive retirement package. The NV5 401(k) plan is available to all employees who have completed at least 30 days of service. For 2025, the matching contributions to the NV5 401(k) Plan were discretionary based on the profitability of NV5. Historically, the Company has primarily issued restricted stock awards in lieu of discretionary contributions to the NV5 401(k) Plan. The amounts of these NV5 401(k) related restricted stock awards for Messrs. Heraud and Tong and Ms. O'Brien under the NV5 401(k) Plan are included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table. It is anticipated that the NV5 401(k) plan will be merged with and into the Acuren 401(k) plan in 2027.

*Employee Stock Purchase Plan*

Most of our domestic and Canadian employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). Sales of shares of our common stock under the ESPP are generally made pursuant to offerings that are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP permits employees of the Company, including our NEOs, to purchase common stock at a discount equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the market value of our common stock on the first day of the offering period, or (ii) the market value of our common stock on the purchase date, whichever is lower. Participants are subject to eligibility requirements and may not purchase more than 500 shares of common stock in any offering period or more than $10,000 of common stock in a year under the ESPP.

#### Other Compensation-Related Practices and Policies
*Severance*

The Employment Agreements include certain severance benefits which are described in more detail under the "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" section below.

*Clawback Policy*

Our Executive Officer Clawback Policy applies to excess incentive-based compensation received by any officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act ("covered officers") in the event of a required accounting restatement. The policy is intended to comply with the final rules regarding recovery of erroneously awarded compensation as promulgated by the SEC and the NYSE. Subject to limited exceptions, the policy provides that the Company will recover the incentive-based compensation received by each covered officer during the prior three fiscal years that exceeds the amount that the covered officers otherwise would have received had the incentive-based compensation been determined based on the restated financial statements.

*Policies and Practices Relating to the Timing of Equity Awards*

We generally grant annual equity-based awards during the first quarter of our fiscal year, although such timing may change from year to year. The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, also consider and approve interim or mid-year grants (or grants made on another basis) from time to time based on business needs, changing compensation practices, or other factors. The Compensation Committee does not grant equity in anticipation of the release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For our performance-based restricted stock units, the number of units and the market value is reflected at threshold. The market value of the time-based restricted stock units and the performance-based restricted stock units is calculated by multiplying the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025 ($10.11) by the number of units.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These restricted stock units vest 33 1/3% on the first through third anniversaries of the grant date.

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Issuer's Common Stock reaching a specified price over a ten (10) consecutive trading day period at any time during the period commencing on February 18, 2025 and ending on the fifth anniversary of the grant date (the "VWAP Achievement Period"), these performance based restricted stock units shall vest on the later of (x) the first anniversary of the grant date and (y) the calendar day following the last day of the VWAP Achievement Period.

(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These restricted stock units vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.

(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These performance restricted stock units have a three-year performance period and to the extent earned will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The number of shares of Common Stock that will be earned is subject to decrease based on the results of the performance condition.

(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These performance based restricted stock units, to the extent earned, will vest on September 30, 2026. The number of shares of Common Stock that will be earned is subject to decrease based on the results of the performance condition.

(7)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These performance restricted stock units vest upon certain financial performance metrics of NV5 and to the extent earned will vest on September 30, 2026. The number of shares of Common Stock that will be earned is subject to decrease based on the results of the performance condition.

(8)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. O'Brien's and Mr. Tong's employment with the Company began in August 2025 following the NV5 Acquisition and, as such, they did not receive stock awards for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

(9)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Sutherland's employment with the Company terminated on September 30, 2025. As a result, 110,000 restricted stock units that had not vested as of the effective date of her termination were forfeited as per the terms of the award.

## CEO Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our former CEO, Mr. Pizzey. To identify our median employee and calculate such employee's annual total compensation, we used the following methodology:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Determination date.** We selected December 31, 2025, the last day of our fiscal year, as the determination date for identifying the median employee. As of December 31, 2025, our employee population consisted of approximately 11,286 individuals working at the Company and its subsidiaries, of which approximately 7,046 are based in the United States and approximately 4,240 are based outside of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Employee Population.** In determining the identity of the median employee, we excluded 23 based in China, 7 based in France, 23 based in Germany, 3 based in Indonesia, 8 based in Italy, 8 based in Japan, 11 based in Macau, 63 based in the Philippines, 7 based in South Korea, 10 based in Thailand, and 100 employees based in the United Kingdom, who represented less than 5% of our employee population. As a result, the Company's employee population used for determining the median employee was approximately 11,023 individuals, including 7,046 employees based in the United States and approximately 3,977 employees based outside of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Consistently applied compensation measure.** To identify the median employee, we used the gross pay of all of our employees, excluding our CEO, our China, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Macau, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and United Kingdom-based employees, and independent contractors and consultants who were not paid directly by the Company. We did not make any cost-of-living or other adjustments in identifying the median employee and we did not annualize the pay of any employees who were not employed for the full year.

We then calculated the 2025 total annual compensation of such median employee in accordance with the requirements of the executive compensation rules for the Summary Compensation Table (Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K). Under this calculation, the median employee's annual total compensation was $52,243.

Utilizing the same executive compensation rules, and consistent with the amount reported in the "Total" Column of our Summary Compensation Table for 2025 above for our CEO, the annual total compensation of our CEO was $2,741,682. The resulting ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of the median employee was 52 to 1. This ratio represents a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on the methodology described above.

The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices, and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

This information is being provided in response to SEC disclosure requirements. Neither the Compensation Committee nor management of the Company uses the pay ratio measure in making any compensation decisions.

|  **PROPOSAL NO. 2<br>RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2026 FISCAL YEAR**  |
|  **THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE 2026 FISCAL YEAR.**  |

---

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") to continue to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year. PwC has been our independent registered public accounting firm since 2024.

Ratification of the appointment of PwC to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year will in no way limit the Audit Committee's authority to terminate or otherwise change the engagement of PwC for the 2026 fiscal year. In the event our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of PwC, such appointment may be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. We expect representatives of PwC to attend the Annual Meeting, where they will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

#### Change in our Certifying Accountant
**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Previous independent registered public accounting firm**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On July 30, 2024, TIC Solutions (formerly known as Acuren Corporation) dismissed Grant Thornton UK LLP as its independent registered accounting firm in connection with the Acuren Acquisition. Such dismissal became effective upon completion by Grant Thornton UK LLP of its audit of the financial statements of Acuren Corporation as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The TIC Solutions Board and Audit Committee participated in and approved the decision to change its independent registered accounting firm.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The report of Grant Thornton UK LLP on the financial statements for the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) During the period from December 15, 2022 (inception) to December 31, 2023 and the subsequent interim period through the dismissal date, there have been no disagreements with Grant Thornton UK LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton UK LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) During the period from December 15, 2022 (inception) to December 31, 2023 and the subsequent interim period through the dismissal date, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K 304(a)(1)(v)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIC Solutions requested that Grant Thornton UK LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated November 4, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on December 12, 2024.

**(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;New independent registered public accounting firm**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TIC Solutions approved PwC as its new independent registered public accounting firm on November 4, 2024. During the period from December 15, 2022 (inception) to December 31, 2023 and the subsequent interim period through November 4, 2024, TIC Solutions had not consulted with PwC regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on its financial statements, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to TIC Solutions that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by it in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Regulation S-K 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions to Regulation S-K 304, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Regulation S-K 304(a)(1)(v).

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fees were for professional services rendered for tax compliance and tax consulting services and were primarily related to increased services as a result of the NV5 Acquisition.

(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fees were for software licenses.

#### Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures for Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee preapprove all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by its independent auditor, subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. Either the Chair of the Audit Committee acting alone, or the other two members acting jointly, may grant preapprovals of audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that decisions of such subcommittee to grant preapprovals will be presented to the full Audit Committee or the Board at its next scheduled meeting.

Consistent with these policies and procedures, the Audit Committee has approved all of the services rendered by PwC during fiscal year 2025, as described above.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company on behalf of the Board. The Company's leadership team has primary responsibility for the Company's financial statements, financial reporting process and internal controls over financial reporting. The independent auditor is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and evaluating the effectiveness of internal controls and issuing reports thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to select the independent auditors and monitor and oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company, including the Company's internal controls over financial reporting and the audits of the financial statements of the Company.

During 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, the Audit Committee regularly met and held discussions with the Company's leadership team and the independent auditors. In the discussions related to the Company's financial statements for fiscal year 2025, the Company's leadership team represented to the Audit Committee that such financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the Company's management and the independent auditors the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2025 and leadership's evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditor those matters required to be discussed by the auditors with the Audit Committee under the applicable rules adopted by the PCAOB and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee received from the independent auditor the written disclosures and letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditor that firm's independence. In connection with this discussion, the Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of services by the independent auditor not related to the audit of the Company's financial statements for fiscal year 2025 was compatible with maintaining the independent auditor's independence. The Audit Committee's policy requires that the Audit Committee approve any audit or permitted non-audit service proposed to be performed by its independent auditor in advance of the performance of such service.

Based upon the Audit Committee's discussions with management and the independent auditor and the Audit Committee's review of the representations of the Company's management team and the written disclosures and letter of the independent auditors provided to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 be included in the Company's Annual Report.

## Other Matters

#### Requirements, including Deadlines, for Submission of Proxy Proposals, Nomination of Directors and Other Business of Stockholders
In order to submit stockholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement, notice of annual meeting and proxy for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8, materials must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the Company's principal office in Hollywood, FL, no later than January 21, 2027.

The proposals must comply with all of the requirements of SEC Rule 14a-8. Proposals should be addressed to: Corporate Secretary, TIC Solutions, Inc. 200 South Park Road, Suite 350, Hollywood, FL 33021, United States. As the rules of the SEC make clear, simply submitting a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion.

The Company's bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure with regard to director nominations and stockholder proposals that are not submitted for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement, but that a stockholder instead wishes to present directly at an annual meeting. To be properly brought before our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a notice of the director nomination or the matter the stockholder wishes to present at the meeting complying with the Company's bylaws must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at the Company's principal office at 200 South Park Road, Suite 350, Hollywood, FL 33021, not less than 90 or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the Annual Meeting, except that if the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, such notice must be delivered not earlier than 120 days prior to such anniversary date or the 10<sup>th</sup> day following our public announcement of the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As a result, and assuming that the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is not more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after the first anniversary of the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, any notice given by or on behalf of a stockholder pursuant to these provisions of the Company's bylaws (and not pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14a-8) must be delivered no earlier than March 3, 2027, and no later than April 2, 2027. All director nominations and stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of the Company's bylaws, a copy of which may be obtained at no cost from the Corporate Secretary of the Company.

Stockholders providing notice to the Company under the SEC's Rule 14a-19 who intend to solicit proxies in support of nominees submitted under the advance notice provision of the Company's bylaws for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must comply with the advance notice deadline set forth above, the requirements of the Company's bylaws and the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b).

Other than the items of business described in this proxy statement, the Company does not expect any matters to be presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card or voting instruction form will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If, for any unforeseen reason, any one or more of the Company's nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board.

Our Board or the chair of the Annual Meeting may refuse to allow the transaction of any business or the consideration of any director nomination not made in compliance with the Company's bylaws.

Co-Chairmen of the Board

TIC Solutions, Inc.

c/o Corporate Secretary

200 South Park Road, Suite 350

Hollywood, FL 33021

United States

The Board has directed our Corporate Secretary to forward stockholder communications to our Chairmen and any other director to whom the communications are directed. In order to facilitate an efficient and reliable means for directors to receive all legitimate communications directed to them regarding our governance or operations, our Corporate Secretary will use her discretion to refrain from forwarding any correspondence unrelated to the Board's corporate governance and oversight responsibilities.

#### Householding
Some brokers, banks or other intermediaries may be participating in the practice of "householding" our proxy materials. Under this procedure, which has been approved by the SEC, stockholders who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") or proxy statement and annual report, as applicable, unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees. We do not household for our stockholders of record.

Once you have received notice from your broker, bank or other intermediary that it will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of our Notice or proxy statement and annual report, as applicable, or if you are receiving multiple copies of any of these documents and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker, bank or other intermediary.

We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of our Notice, proxy statement and/or annual report to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy was delivered. For copies of any of these documents, stockholders should contact us using the contact information set forth below under "Available Information."

#### Available Information
We will deliver without charge to each person whose proxy is being solicited, upon request of any such person, a copy of the Notice, this proxy statement and our Annual Report. A request for a copy of any of these documents should be directed to TIC Solutions, Inc. c/o Corporate Secretary, 200 South Park Road, Suite 350, Hollywood, FL 33021, Telephone: (954) 495-2112.

In addition, copies of the charters of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, together with certain other corporate governance materials, including our Business Conduct and Ethics Policy and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, can be found under the Investor Relations—Corporate Governance section of our website at *www.ticsolutions.com* and such information is also available in print to any stockholder who requests it through the methods listed above.

## Questions and Answers

#### What is the date, time and place of the Annual Meeting?
Our Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual format only, on July 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. As a stockholder, you can attend, vote and submit questions at our Annual Meeting by accessing *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TIC2026* using the 16-digit control number on your proxy card, voting instruction form, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

#### What am I being asked to vote on and what is the Board recommendation?
At the Annual Meeting you will be asked to vote on the following two proposals. Our Board recommendation for each of these proposals is set forth below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Proposal** | **Board Recommendation** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; To elect eleven (11) directors each for a term expiring at the next annual meeting or until his or her successor has been duly elected or qualified | **FOR each Director Nominee** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; To ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year | **FOR** |

---

You will also be asked to consider and act upon such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

#### Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Only holders of record of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on May 11, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. At the close of business on the record date, 221,042,604 shares of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding.

#### What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner?
<u>Stockholder of Record</u>. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the "stockholder of record," with respect to those shares.

<u>Beneficial Owner</u>. If your shares are held by a nominee, such as a bank or broker, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of those shares which are considered to be held in "street name." The proxy card has been forwarded to you by your nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the "stockholder of record." As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting by telephone or on the Internet or, if you specifically request a copy of the printed materials, you may use the voting instruction card included in such materials.

#### What are the voting rights of our stockholders?
Our stockholders are entitled to one vote per share for each of our common stock or Series A Preferred Stock held on the record date for each matter properly presented at the Annual Meeting.

#### What constitutes a quorum?
A quorum will be present at the Annual Meeting if holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, we expect to postpone or adjourn the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies. Abstentions and broker non-votes (as described below) will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### What if I am a beneficial owner and do not give the nominee voting instructions?
If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, such broker or nominee is bound by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") regarding whether or not it can exercise discretionary voting power for any particular proposal if the broker has not received voting instructions from you. Brokers have the authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain "routine" matters. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee who holds shares for another does not vote on a particular item because the nominee does not have discretionary voting authority for that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes are included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but are not considered a vote cast.

The table below sets forth, for each proposal described in this proxy statement, whether a broker can exercise discretion and vote your shares absent your instructions and if not, the impact of such broker non-vote on the approval of the applicable proposal:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Proposal** | **Can Brokers Vote <br>Absent Instructions** | **Impact of <br>Broker Non-Vote** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Election of Directors | No | None |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Ratification of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm | Yes | N/A |

---

If other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting and they are not considered routine under the applicable NYSE rules, shares held by a bank, broker, or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner will not be voted on such non-routine matters by that holder unless that holder has received voting instructions. As stated above, broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

#### How are abstentions treated?
Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast in the final tally of votes with regard to any of the proposals. Therefore, abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals. Abstentions will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

#### How do I vote?
***<u>To Vote by Internet, Telephone or Mail:</u>***

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote:

#### How do I vote if I am a holder of Depositary Interests?
The holders of Depositary Interests ("Depositary Interest Holders") registered in the register of Depositary Interests at close of business on May 11, 2026 shall be entitled to provide voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of the number of Depositary Interests registered in their name(s) at that time.

If you hold your Depositary Interests through a broker, bank, or nominee (or similar), you should be contacted by your broker, bank, or nominee (or similar) on how to vote in advance of the Annual Meeting. These directions should be followed. If you have not received such directions, you should contact your broker, bank, or nominee (or similar) as soon as possible.

Registered Depositary Interest Holders should direct Computershare Investor Services PLC (the "Depositary") to vote the Common Stock represented by their Depositary Interests as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Mail:** Complete and return a Form of Instruction to the Depositary using the reply-paid envelope accompanying the Form of Instruction or by posting it to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY, United Kingdom. To be effective, all Forms of Instruction must be received by the Depositary by 14:30 (London time) / 09:30 (New York time) on June 23, 2026. The Depositary will then make arrangements to vote the underlying Common Stock in accordance with the Depositary Interest Holder's instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**CREST:** Depositary Interest Holders who wish to provide voting instructions through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST manual. CREST personal members who have appointed a voting service provider(s) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a voting instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST manual. All messages relating to the appointment of a proxy or a voting instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent (ID: 3RA50) no later than 14:30 (London time) / 09:30 (New York time) on June 23, 2026. Normal system timings and limitations will apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 as amended.

Depositary Interest Holders may change their voting instructions by submitting a new Form of Instruction or CREST Proxy Instruction, as applicable, using the methods set out above provided these are received before the relevant deadline outlined above.

#### Can I attend the Annual Meeting if I am a holder of Depositary Interests?
Depositary Interest Holders or beneficial shareholders holding their shares as Depositary Interests registered in the register of Depositary Interests at close of business on May 11, 2026 are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting as a guest. Depositary Interest Holders will not be permitted to vote at the Annual Meeting and should vote in advance by following the voting instructions above under "*How do I vote if I am a holder of Depositary Interests?*". If you wish to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, please notify the Depositary by email to !UKALLDITeam2@computershare.co.uk by 14:30 (London time) / 09:30 (New York time) on June 23, 2026. Any Depositary Interest Holders that do not follow the above process will be unable to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. Only attendance requests from the registered Depositary Interest Holder will be accepted by the Depositary.

#### If I plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, should I still vote by proxy?
Yes. Casting your vote in advance does not affect your right to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. If you vote in advance and also virtually attend the Annual Meeting, you do not need to vote again at the Annual Meeting unless you want to change your vote.

#### What vote is required for the proposals?

#### Can I change my vote after I have voted?
Voting by telephone, over the Internet or by mailing a proxy card does not preclude a stockholder from voting during the Annual Meeting. A stockholder may revoke a proxy, whether submitted via telephone, the Internet or mail, at any time prior to its exercise by (i) filing a duly executed revocation of proxy with our Corporate Secretary, (ii) properly submitting, either by telephone, mail or Internet, a proxy to our Corporate Secretary bearing a later date or (iii) virtually attending the Annual Meeting and voting when prompted during the meeting. Attendance at the virtual meeting will not itself constitute revocation of a proxy.
