**Our directors' diversity, tenure and skills**

Our board of directors and its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe broad and diverse experience, skills and background, as well as varying lengths of tenure, are critical elements of a highly functioning board. Our board of directors and its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe this diversity permits the board to make sound decisions that support shareholder value, while the varying tenures of its members provide a balance of institutional knowledge and fresh perspectives. Important aspects of diversity in background include matters of gender, race/ethnicity and geographical perspective. The board's ten nominees for election as directors include:

**Corporate governance matters**

Our board of directors and management firmly embrace good and accountable corporate governance. We believe an attentive board, held to the highest standards of corporate governance, is a tangible advantage for our shareholders and for our businesses. Our board makes substantial efforts to meet such standards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Board refreshment balances experience with fresh insights.** We seek to balance directors who know and understand our
 company with those who bring fresh perspectives to governance and management and to expand
 the diversity of our board. The average tenure of our independent director nominees is
 6.8 years and two directors joined the board in the last twelve months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **We elect all directors annually to one-year terms.** Annual elections allow shareholders to review each director's
 skills and experience and approve his or her nomination at each annual meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Our directors must be elected by majority vote.** Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that any nominee
 in an uncontested election who receives more "withhold" votes than votes
 "for" must promptly offer his or her resignation. The Nominating and Corporate
 Governance Committee will consider the resignation and recommend either accepting it
 or rejecting it to the board, which will act within 90 days after the shareholders'
 meeting. The resigning director will not participate in these discussions.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY Executive compensation <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **The chairman of our board of directors is independent.** The position of Chairman of the Board of Directors at EnPro
 is a non-executive position. Independent directors have held this position since the
 inception of our company in 2002. Since the Chairman of the Board is independent, he
 functionally serves as our lead independent director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Our independent directors meet regularly in executive session.** Our non-management directors meet regularly without members
 of management present. These sessions are presided over by the Chairman of the Board
 of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Our directors are required to own our company's stock.** Our directors are required to own shares in our company
 equal in value to five times the annual cash retainer they receive. New directors have
 five years from the time they join the board to accumulate these shares. All of the directors
 who have served for five years or more meet this requirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **The board and each committee perform comprehensive annual evaluations.** Evaluations allow our directors to assess their effectiveness
 at both the committee and the board level and include an individual director assessment
 component to permit each director to evaluate the contributions of each of the other

**Executive compensation**

**For more information, see "Proposal 2—Advisory vote approving executive compensation" (page 29), "Compensation discussion and analysis" (page 32) and "Executive compensation" (page 48).**

Our board of directors recommends that you vote "For" our advisory proposal on executive compensation. The non-binding, advisory vote gives our shareholders the opportunity to approve the compensation paid to individuals identified as named executive officers in this proxy statement.

**Our compensation practices**

*Our programs are designed to reward success.* Our compensation programs enable us to align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders and to reward our executives for superior performance. This practice allows us to attract and retain talented and highly motivated executive officers who are capable of driving our success and building value for our shareholders.

We achieve our objectives through compensation that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· is
 tied to business performance. A substantial portion of each executive officer's
 total compensation opportunity is based on our financial results—disappointing
 performance results in little or no payout while superior performance leads to superior
 payouts—and the portion of compensation based on our financial performance increases
 with the officer's level of responsibility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· is
 significantly stock-based. Stock-based compensation ensures our executives and our shareholders
 have common interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· enhances
 retention of our executives—much of their total compensation vests over several
 years;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· does
 not encourage our executives to take unnecessary or excessive risks; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· enables
 us to compete effectively for talented individuals who will help us successfully execute
 our business plan.

In structuring annual and long-term incentive compensation opportunities, we select performance measures that we believe significantly drive the value of our company. In 2022, we awarded stock options and restricted stock units that vest over three years, both to encourage retention and to provide an incentive for performance to increase the value of our shares.

We have structured our compensation programs to align with the interests of our shareholders and to result in payment based on our performance.

*We routinely engage with our shareholders to discuss any concerns about our compensation programs.*Throughout the course of each year, we speak with numerous shareholders, including frequent conversations with many of our largest shareholders. These conversations cover a wide range of topics, including our strategic direction, financial performance, future growth opportunities, capital allocation strategy, business continuity, environmental, social and governance initiatives, management succession and compensation practices. During these conversations in 2022, our shareholders noted general support for our performance-driven compensation practices. We communicate investor feedback on our compensation practices to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and take shareholder views into account as we seek to align our policies and practices with their interests.

*We employ best practices in executive compensation.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 balance short-term and long-term compensation to discourage short-term risk-taking at
 the expense of long-term results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our
 long-term incentive compensation is focused on the relative and absolute return to shareholders,
 while aligning the experience of management with that of our shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 require our senior officers to own and retain meaningful amounts of EnPro stock and to
 increase their ownership as their levels of responsibility increase.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY Executive compensation <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our
 Compensation and Human Resources Committee relies on an independent executive compensation
 consultant to evaluate our compensation plans. The consultant reports directly to the
 committee and provides no other services to our company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 have very limited perquisites.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 generally make compensation decisions and grant equity and other compensation awards
 only on an annual basis, with interim adjustments and awards only in unusual circumstances,
 such as in connection with a material change in an executive officer's responsibilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our
 policies prohibit executives from hedging ownership of EnPro stock and pledging EnPro
 stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our
 clawback policy entitles us to recover performance-based compensation from any executive
 officer whose fraud or willful misconduct requires a material restatement of our financial
 results.

**Compensation analysis**

Our compensation program ties incentive compensation pay to the achievement of both annual and long-term goals for the performance of our company. We set these goals each year and award both annual and three-year incentive awards tied to achieving these goals. In 2022, we also awarded stock options and restricted stock units that vest over three years to provide an incentive for performance to increase the value of our shares. We believe our compensation structure aligns with the interests of our shareholders and results in compensation commensurate with our performance.

*Annual incentive compensation.* The amount of incentive awards paid under our annual performance plan is based on performance relative to threshold, target and maximum performance levels set when the awards are made. When performance falls below the threshold, executives receive no payout. Payouts at a threshold level of performance are 50% of the target payout, payouts at a target level of performance are 100% of the target payout, and payouts at a maximum level of performance are at 200% of the target payout. For 2022, the performance measures and weightings for the annual performance plan were adjusted EBITDA and cash flow return on operating capital (or "Cash Flow ROIC"), which performance measures are described on pages 42 and 43. These performance measures were selected to focus our leaders on efficient capital deployment of assets they control—working capital and capital expenditures—and earnings on those assets. The following charts show the relative weighting of these performance measures in our 2022 annual incentive compensation awards, and our actual payout performance level against the target level of performance for each of the two performance measures (target level being reflected at 100%) and the resulting payout level against the target payout level. We achieved adjusted EBITDA at a level between the target and maximum performance levels for that performance measure as a result of strong performance across most of our businesses, reflecting continued organic growth in our Advanced Surface Technologies segment, efficiency gains and organic growth in our Sealing Technologies segment, the benefits of prior-period portfolio reshaping, and responsive pricing action, which more than offset material cost increases. We achieved a Cash Flow ROIC that exceeded the maximum level for that performance measure. This performance resulted primarily from above-target earnings and secondarily from our focused and disciplined cash management throughout the year.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY Executive compensation <br>

*Long-term compensation.* In February of each year, we make long-term compensation awards to our executive officers. In 2022, these awards were made in the form of restricted stock units, stock options and long-term incentive compensation awards, with the value of the awards allocated 40% to restricted stock units, 30% to stock options and 30% to long-term incentive compensation awards (the "Performance Share Awards"). To determine the target number of restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and the number of stock options, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee divided the applicable dollar amount by the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the award for the restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and by the Black-Scholes accounting value for the stock options. This is a compensation structure that we first implemented in 2020 to more fully align the long-term compensation program with share value performance and the experience of our shareholders. We believe this long-term compensation structure aligns our executive compensation incentives with the company's long-term business strategy and aligns and focuses our senior teams on the share value impact of all decisions, including capital deployment, dispositions and acquisitions.

The restricted stock units generally vest, subject to continued employment, in equal annual increments over a period of three years. The stock options have a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant, generally become exercisable subject to continued employment in equal annual increments over three years, and have a term of 10 years from the date of grant with earlier termination in connection with a termination of employment other than retirement.

The Performance Share Awards are denominated in stock units and are payable in cash, with the payout amount based on our total shareholder return compared to the same measure of a stock index that includes our company (rTSR) measured over a three-year performance cycle. There are no payouts if our rTSR is below the 25th percentile of the firms included in that stock index, with payouts at 50% of the target payout if our rTSR is at the 25th percentile, 100% of the target payout if our rTSR is at the 50th percentile, and 200% of the target payout if our rTSR equals or exceeds the 75th percentile, with payouts interpolated for rTSR levels between these points and payout capped at 100% of the target payout level if total shareholder return over the period is negative.

In February 2020, executive officers were granted Performance Share Awards having terms substantially the same as those awarded to the executive officers in 2022, with the payout amount based on our rTSR measured over a three-year performance cycle that ended on December 31, 2022. In February 2023, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee certified the level of performance with respect to these Performance Share Awards.

The following charts illustrate the allocation of value based on the Compensation and Human Resources Committee's method described above among the restricted stock units (RSUs), stock options and Performance Share Awards (valued at target) awarded to executive officers in February 2022 and the actual performance level and payout level, each relative to the target level (shown at 100%), of the Performance Share Awards for the 2020-2022 performance cycle made to the executive officers, which actual performance level exceeded the maximum level resulting in payout at 200% of the target level.

*What is the purpose of the annual meeting?*

At our annual meeting, shareholders will act on the following proposals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Election

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Adoption
 of an advisory resolution approving the compensation paid to our named executive officers
 as disclosed in this proxy statement;

Our board of directors has submitted these proposals. We are not aware of any other business to be addressed at the meeting; however, other business may be addressed if it properly comes before the meeting.

*Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?*

You may vote if you owned EnPro common stock as of the close of business on the record date, March 9, 2023. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote for each director nominee and one vote for each of the other matters to be considered at the meeting.

*Who may attend the meeting?*

Holders of EnPro common stock whose shares are recorded directly in their names in our stock register ("shareholders of record") at the close of business on March 9, 2023 may attend the meeting. In addition, shareholders who hold shares of our common stock in "street name," that is, through an account with a broker, bank, trustee, or other holder of record, as of such date may attend the meeting by presenting satisfactory evidence of ownership as of the March 9, 2023 record date. Our invited guests may also attend the meeting.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

GENERAL INFORMATION <br>

*How do I vote?*

*Shareholders of record:* Shareholders of record have four voting options:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· over
 the Internet at the website address shown on the enclosed proxy card;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· by
 telephone through the number shown on the enclosed proxy card;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· by
 completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card by mail; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in
 person at the meeting.

Even if you plan to attend the meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares by submitting your proxy. If you choose to vote your shares at the meeting, please bring proof of stock ownership and proof of your identity for entrance to the meeting.

*Shareholders owning shares in street name:* If you hold your EnPro shares in street name, your ability to vote by Internet or telephone depends on the voting process of the bank, broker or other nominee through which you hold the shares. Please follow their directions carefully. If you want to vote at the meeting, you must request a legal proxy appointment from your bank, broker or other nominee and present that legal proxy appointment, together with proof of your identity, to company officials as you attend the meeting.

*How do I vote my 401(k) shares?*

If you hold EnPro shares in an EnPro 401(k) plan, the plan's trustee will vote your shares according to the instructions you provide when you complete and submit the proxy instructions you receive from the plan manager.

If you hold EnPro shares in an EnPro 401(k) plan and are also a shareholder of record with shares in a registered account outside the plan, and if your plan information matches the information we have on your registered account, you will receive one proxy card representing all shares you own.

If you hold EnPro shares outside an EnPro 401(k) plan in street name, or if your registered account information is different from your plan account information, you will receive separate proxies, one for shares you hold in the plan and one for shares you hold outside the plan.

*What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?*

Even if you have submitted your vote, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before voting begins at the annual meeting.

*Shareholders of record:* Shareholders of record may change their votes in one of three ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· by
 voting on a later date by telephone or over the Internet (only your last dated proxy
 card or telephone or Internet vote is counted); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· by
 delivering a later dated proxy card to our Secretary, either prior to or at the meeting;
 or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· by
 voting your shares in person at the meeting. In order to vote your shares at the meeting,
 you must specifically revoke a previously submitted proxy.

*Shareholders owning shares in street name:* If you hold your shares in street name, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee to find out how to revoke your proxy.

*Is there a minimum quorum necessary to hold the meeting?*

A quorum is established when the majority of EnPro shares entitled to vote are present at the meeting in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum. If you return valid proxy instructions or vote in person at the meeting, you will be considered part of the quorum.

*How will my vote be counted?*

If you return your proxy card with specific voting instructions or submit your proxy by telephone or the Internet, your EnPro shares will be voted as you have instructed.

If you are a shareholder of record and submit a proxy by mail, telephone or the Internet without specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted according to our board of directors' recommendations. If you do not submit valid proxy instructions or vote in person at the meeting, your shares will not be voted.

If you hold your shares in street name and do not give your bank, broker or other nominee instructions for voting your shares, your shares will be considered to be "uninstructed." Your nominee generally has the authority to vote "uninstructed" shares at its discretion only on matters that are "routine" under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). For our 2023 meeting, only the ratification of our independent accounting firm (Proposal 4) is considered routine by the NYSE. The election of directors and matters related to executive compensation are not considered routine. Without your instruction, your shares will not be voted in these matters (Proposals 1, 2 and 3).

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

GENERAL INFORMATION <br>

*What vote is required to approve each item?*

*Proposal 1: Election of directors.* Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting. "Plurality" means that the director nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast are elected, up to the ten directors to be elected at the meeting. Un-voted shares will have no impact on the election of directors. Unless a proxy includes proper instructions to "Withhold" a vote for any or all nominees, the proxy will be voted "For" each of the nominees.

In an uncontested election, any nominee who receives more "Withhold" votes than votes "For" must promptly offer his or her resignation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the resignation and recommend a course of action to the board. The full board, excluding the resigning director, will act within 90 days after the shareholders meeting to accept or reject the resignation. The board's decision and an explanation of the process used to reach it will be disclosed publicly on Form 8-K.

*Proposal 2: Advisory vote to approve executive compensation.* The advisory resolution to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers will be approved if more votes are cast "For" the resolution than are cast "Against" it. Although this advisory vote is not binding under applicable law, our board will review the results and take them, and the views expressed by our shareholders, into account in determining our executive compensation practices.

*Proposal 3. Selection of frequency of future shareholder advisory votes to approve executive compensation.* The frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation receiving the greatest number of votes (every one year, every two years or every three years) will be considered the preference selected by the shareholders. Although this advisory vote is non-binding, as provided by law, our board will review the results of the vote and, consistent with our record of shareholder engagement, will take it into account in making determinations concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

*Proposal 4: Ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023.*The ratification of the appointment of our independent accounting firm will be approved if more votes are cast "For" the proposal than are cast "Against" it.

*Other business.* Any other business that properly comes before the meeting, or any adjournment of the meeting, will be approved if more votes are cast "For" the proposal than "Against" the proposal.

*How do broker non-votes and abstentions count for voting purposes?*

"Broker non-votes" arise when shareholders who hold shares in street name do not give their banks, brokers or other nominees instructions for voting their shares and the banks, brokers or other nominees do not have authority to vote the shares on a matter because the matter is not routine. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count for determining whether a quorum is present for the meeting. Because directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, broker non-votes and abstentions will not count in determining the outcome of the election of directors. For all other proposals on the agenda for the annual meeting and with respect to any other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting, only votes "For" or "Against" the proposal count—accordingly, broker non-votes, if any, and abstentions will not be counted in determining the outcome of the votes on those proposals.

*Is there a list of shareholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting?*

You may examine a list of the shareholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting. The list will be available at our offices at 5605 Carnegie Boulevard, Suite 500, Charlotte, North Carolina, from March 24, 2023 through the end of the meeting and will also be available at the location of the annual meeting during the annual meeting.

*What are the board's recommendations?*

Your board of directors recommends that you vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "**FOR** "
 each of our nominees to the board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "**FOR** "
 the advisory resolution approving the compensation paid to our named executive officers
 as disclosed in this proxy statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· For
 every "**1 YEAR** "
 in the advisory vote on the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes to approve
 executive compensation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "**FOR** "
 ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting
 firm for 2023.

If you return a valid proxy card or respond to our proxy by telephone or Internet and do not include instructions on how you want to vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the board's recommendations.

GENERAL INFORMATION <br>

*How can I find out the results of the vote?*

We will publish final voting results in a report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") within four business days after the meeting. We will also post the voting results on our website, *www.enproindustries.com*.

*What is "householding" and how does it affect me?*

When two or more shareholders are in the same household and receive mail at the same address, rules adopted by the SEC allow us to deliver only one proxy statement and annual report to that address, reducing our cost for preparing and delivering proxy materials. If you fall into this category and would like separate mailings of our proxy statement and annual report, you may request them at no cost to you by contacting us at *investor@enproindustries.com* or by calling 704-731-1527. Registered shareholders who would like separate mailings in the future (or who would like to consolidate future mailings) may request them using the contact information above. Investors whose shares are held in street name by a bank, broker or other nominee should request separate mailings (or consolidation of mailings) from the nominee.

This proxy statement and our 2022 annual report to shareholders, which includes our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, are available at *https://www.enproindustries.com/shareholder-meeting.*

Shareholders of record whose shares are held directly in their names in our stock register can choose to receive these documents over the Internet in the future by accessing *www.proxyvote.com* and following the instructions provided on that website. Choosing to receive your materials over the Internet gives you full access to all materials and saves us printing and mailing expenses.

The email will also include instructions for electronic voting. Should you desire to end electronic delivery and again receive paper copies of the materials, please notify us by letter to 5605 Carnegie Boulevard, Suite 500, Charlotte, North Carolina 28209, Attention: Shareholder Relations.

Shareholders who hold their shares in street name should request instructions for receiving future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet from their bank, broker or other nominee.

*Who will solicit votes and pay for the costs of this proxy solicitation?*

We will pay the costs of the solicitation. Although our officers, directors and employees may personally solicit proxies, they will not receive any additional compensation for doing so. We may also solicit proxies by issuing press releases, posting information on our website, *www.enproindustries.com*, and placing advertisements in periodicals or on websites. D.F. King & Co. is assisting us in the solicitation of proxies and provides us with advice and support related to the solicitation. We do not expect the total costs to us for D.F. King's services to exceed $25,000.

In addition, if banks, brokers and other nominees representing shareholders who hold their shares in street name make the request, we will reimburse them for their expenses in forwarding voting materials and obtaining voting instructions from these shareholders.

<sup>(1)</sup> These numbers include the following shares that the individuals may acquire within 60 days after March 1, 2023 pursuant to outstanding phantom share awards payable in shares immediately upon termination of service as a director:, Mr. Botts, 14,579 shares; Mr. Brueck, 11,669 shares; Ms. Creel, 21,279 shares; Ms. Gulfo, 3,973 shares; Mr. Hauser, 24,551 shares; Mr. Humphrey, 9,750 shares; Mr. Keating, 795 shares; Ms. Reinsdorf, 432 shares; Mr. van der Graaf, 18,413 shares; and all current directors and executive officers as a group, 105,441 shares. These numbers include the following shares that the individuals may acquire within 60 days after March 1, 2023 through the exercise of stock options: Mr. Vaillancourt, 25,284 option shares; Mr. Childress, 24,297 option shares; Mr. McLean, 19,930 option shares; Mr. Bower, 7,106 option shares; Dr. Sweeney, 4,080 option shares; and all current directors and executive officers as a group, 76,617 option shares. The numbers also include the following shares held in our Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees as follows: Mr. Vaillancourt, 2,670 shares; Mr. Childress, 1,191 shares; Dr. Sweeney, 1,654 shares; and 3,861 shares in the aggregate allocated to members of all current directors and executive officers as a group. The amounts reported do not include restricted stock units as follows: Mr. Vaillancourt, 22,219 restricted stock units; Mr. Childress, 8,182 restricted stock units; Mr. McLean, 5,830 restricted stock units; Mr. Bower, 2,029 restricted stock units; Mr. Angelillo, 1,464 restricted stock units; and all current directors and executive officers as a group, 39,724 restricted stock units. The amounts reported include the following restricted stock units that are vested but deferred under our Management Stock Purchase Plan: Mr. Childress, 281 shares; Mr. McLean, 508 shares; Mr. Bower, 130 shares; Dr. Sweeney, 32 shares; and all current directors and executive officers as a group, 919 shares. The amounts reported do not include the following unvested stock options: Mr. Vaillancourt, 21,103 option shares; Mr. Childress, 10,115 option shares; Mr. McLean, 7,259 option shares; Mr. Bower, 2,431 option shares; Dr. Sweeney, 3,995 option shares; and all current directors and executive officers as a group, 40,908 option shares. The amounts reported do not include share unit accounts under our Management Stock Purchase Plan for deferrals of annual incentive compensation: Mr. Childress, 1,138 shares; Mr. McLean, 2,060 shares; Mr. Bower, 519 shares; and all current directors and executive officers as a group, 3,717 shares.

<sup>(2)</sup> This amount reflects cash-settled phantom shares awarded to Mr. Hauser and dividend equivalents accrued with respect to these awards. We ceased awarding cash-settled phantom shares to directors before the other directors joined the board. When Mr. Hauser leaves the board, he will receive cash in an amount equal to the value of these phantom shares. Because these phantom shares are payable in cash, Mr. Hauser has neither voting nor investment authority in common stock arising from his ownership of these phantom shares and is therefore not deemed to beneficially own shares underlying these awards, though his economic interest with respect to these awards is equivalent to the economic interest of stock ownership.

<sup>(3)</sup> These numbers reflect the number of stock units credited to those non-employee directors who have elected to defer all or a part of the cash portion of their annual retainer and meeting fees pursuant to our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. See "Corporate Governance Policies and Practices—Director Compensation." Because the stock units are not actual shares of our common stock and the directors may not receive the underlying shares within 60 days after March 1, 2023, the directors do not currently beneficially own the underlying shares, though the directors' investment with respect to these units are equivalent to the economic interests of stock ownership.

<sup>(4)</sup> These percentages do not include the directors' phantom shares or stock units described in footnotes 2 and 3, above. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 20,860,486 shares of our common stock outstanding at March 1, 2023, other than shares held by our subsidiaries.

<sup>(5)</sup> The information with respect to Dr. Sweeney's ownership of shares of our common stock is as of February 4, 2022, the date she ceased serving as EnPro's Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. The stock options held by Dr. Sweeney would expire on February 4, 2023 if not exercised.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK Delinquent Section 16(a) reports <br>

**Delinquent Section 16(a) reports**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and officers and people who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. The SEC requires these reports to be filed within specified deadlines after the event triggering the requirement to file a report.

We have reviewed the copies of the Section 16 reports filed with the SEC. Based solely on this review, we believe that no director, officer, or 10% shareholder failed to timely file in 2022 any report required by Section 16(a) other than a Form 4 to report a grant of restricted stock units by the Company to Mr. Angelillo that was filed one day late.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

**Proposal 1 — Election of directors** (Item 1 on the proxy card)

**At our annual meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect ten directors who will hold office until our 2024 annual meeting or until their respective successors are elected and qualified. All of the nominees are incumbent directors and whose terms would otherwise expire upon the election of directors at the meeting. The average tenure of the independent directors nominated for election at the annual meeting is 6.8 years, with the tenure of the director nominees ranging from 0.1 to 16 years.**

In selecting new members to the board, we have sought individuals with diverse skills and experiences to complement those of the other directors. William Abbey, who was elected as a director by the board in September 2022, brings to the board more than 25 years of experience in the semiconductor industry and a deep knowledge of the evolving global semiconductor ecosystem. Ronald C. Keating, who was elected as a director by the board in February 2023, brings to the board significant operational, strategic, and senior leadership experience in industries serving commercial and industrial markets, including as the current President and Chief Executive Officer of a NYSE-listed global manufacturer. The selections of Mr. Abbey and Mr. Keating were the result of deliberative processes undertaken by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our board of directors. This committee is composed entirely of independent directors. Each of Mr. Abbey and Mr. Keating was recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by a director search firm retained by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Diane C. Creel, a current director who has served as a member of our board of directors since 2009, has not been nominated for re-election at the 2023 annual meeting and will retire from the board of directors at that time pursuant to the age provisions of our Corporate Governance Guidelines. In connection with Ms. Creel's retirement, the board of directors has adopted a resolution reducing the size of the board of directors from eleven to ten effective at the commencement of the 2023 annual meeting. B. Bernard Burns, Jr., who served as a director since 2011 and whose age similarly limited his continued service under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, retired from the board of directors in February 2023 to facilitate the election of Mr. Keating as a director, as our articles of incorporation limit the maximum size of the board of directors to eleven.

All nominees have indicated that they are willing to serve as directors if elected. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted for the election of each of these nominees. If any nominee should become unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of a person designated by the board of directors to replace the nominee. Under our bylaws, no person less than 18 years of age is eligible to be elected as a director.

**The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote "** **FOR" the election of each of the nominees for director named on the following pages.**

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS DIRECTOR DIVERSITY <br>

**Director diversity**

EnPro seeks diversity among the directors, including diversity in professional experience, skills and industry background, as well as gender, racial/ethnic and geographic diversity. Our board of directors and its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe this diversity permits the board to make sound decisions that support shareholder value. Diversity of professional experience, skills and industry background is highlighted in the director experience and qualifications matrix that appears on page 3 and in their respective biographies outlined on the foregoing pages. In addition to this diversity in experience, skills and background, the board currently includes two female directors, one director who is a person of color and four directors whose careers involved working either entirely or substantially outside the United States. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that when conducting searches for new directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take reasonable steps to include diverse candidates in the pool of nominees and any search firm engaged by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will affirmatively be instructed to seek to include diverse candidates.

While 30% of the members of the board of directors elected at the 2022 annual meeting identified as female, with the retirement of Diane Creel at the 2023 annual meeting, we will have two female directors on our board. We fully intend to recruit a female director with qualifications that align with our director skills matrix to fill the next board vacancy anticipated in 2024. With the addition of two new directors in the past seven months, the board of directors plans to complete their on-boarding prior to including another new director on the board. Over the last five years, 75% of our new non-employee board appointments have been diverse.

**Board leadership structure**

The primary responsibility of our board of directors is to oversee and direct management in its conduct of our business. Members of the board are kept informed about our business through discussions with the Chairman and our officers, by reviewing materials provided to them, and by participating in board and committee meetings. In addition, non-management directors meet periodically in executive session without members of management present. These sessions are presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, presently Mr. Hauser, who is functionally our lead independent director.

We believe that the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer should be held by separate individuals, and they have been since the inception of our company. The role of Chairman is a non-executive position currently filled by Mr. Hauser, an independent director. Mr. Vaillancourt, our Chief Executive Officer, is the only current director who is employed by the company. This structure continues to be appropriate for our company given the individuals serving in those positions. Mr. Hauser is a former chief executive officer of a publicly held company and serves and has served as a director of other public companies. This experience, coupled with his knowledge of and familiarity with our company and its businesses through his service on our board of directors, gives him the ability to serve as a valued sounding board for our Chief Executive Officer.

**Committee structure**

Our board of directors has four committees:

· &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; an Executive Committee ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a Compensation and Human Resources Committee <br> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; an Audit and Risk Management Committee ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

To maximize the efficiency of our board, all of our independent directors serve on each committee other than the Executive Committee. For a list of our independent directors, see "Corporate Governance Policies and Practices—Director Independence."

Each board committee operates under a written charter approved by the board. Copies of these charters are available on our website at *www.enproindustries.com*. Click on "For Investors" and then "Governance" and then "Committees" and look under "Committee Charters." Copies of the charters are also available in print to any shareholder who requests them.

*Executive Committee.* The Executive Committee is chaired by Mr. Vaillancourt and includes Mr. Hauser and the chairs of the other board committees. Its primary function is to exercise the powers of the board as and when directed by the board or when the board is not in session, excluding powers which may not be delegated to a committee of directors under North Carolina law. The committee did not meet in 2022.

*Audit and Risk Management Committee.* The Audit and Risk Management Committee assists the board in monitoring the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, our management of areas of significant risk (including insurance, pension, cybersecurity, environmental and litigation) and the qualifications, independence and performance of our internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm. This committee has the sole authority to appoint or replace our independent registered public accounting firm and to approve all related fees. The committee met four times in 2022. Mr. Humphrey is the chair of the committee.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**20**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS COMMITTEE STRUCTURE <br>

*Compensation and Human Resources Committee.* The Compensation and Human Resources Committee assists the board and management in overseeing the appropriateness and cost of our compensation and benefit programs, particularly for executives, and in overseeing our human capital management strategies, including talent development. The committee sets the salaries and annual bonus and long-term award opportunities for our senior executives, assesses the performance of our Chief Executive Officer, and oversees succession planning. Responsibility for the design, administration, asset management and funding policies of our qualified and non-qualified benefit plans is delegated to a benefits committee consisting of members of management and other employees. However, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee has expressly retained the authority to approve amendments to benefit plans (except those resulting from collective bargaining agreements) that would materially affect the cost, basic nature or financing of these plans. In addition, the committee approves all formal policies established by the benefits committee and reviews the benefits committee's activities at least once a year. The committee annually reviews our human capital management and talent development strategies and more frequently considers matters with respect to employee safety, retention and diversity. The committee met four times in 2022. Mr. Botts is the chair of the committee.

*Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.* The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies and nominates individuals who are qualified to become members of the board, assesses the effectiveness of the board and its committees, and recommends board committee assignments. This committee reviews our strategy, policies and processes with respect to environmental, social and sustainability matters, including advising the board and management on matters pertinent to sustainability and reviewing and recommending board adoption of our periodic sustainability reports made available to the public. This committee assists the board and management in exercising sound corporate governance and reviews various corporate governance issues, including those items discussed under "Corporate Governance Policies and Practices." The committee met four times in 2022. Ms. Reinsdorf is the chair of the committee.

**Risk oversight**

As described above, the Audit and Risk Management Committee assists the board in monitoring our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the way we manage areas of significant risk. The company's internal audit group periodically analyzes risks to our company and reports the results of its analysis to the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The head of the internal audit group reports directly to the Audit and Risk Management Committee and customarily attends meetings of that committee. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel also customarily attend the committee's meetings.

**Meetings and attendance**

The board met five times in 2022. Regularly scheduled board and committee meetings are typically held on successive days, with meetings typically covering two days. The board conducts periodic visits to our facilities as part of its regularly scheduled meetings. In 2022, each current director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the full board and of the board committees on which he or she serves that were held during the period of the director's service.

All directors are encouraged by policy to attend our annual meeting of shareholders. All but one of the individuals then serving as director physically attended our 2022 annual meeting, with the director who was unable to attend physically participating telephonically. Generally, over the past decade no shareholders have attended our annual meetings other than directors, officers and corporate office employees who hold shares, and that was the case with respect to our 2022 annual meeting.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**21**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

**Corporate governance policies and practices**

Our board of directors and management firmly embrace good and accountable corporate governance. We believe an attentive board operating under the highest standards of corporate governance is a tangible competitive advantage. Our board has undertaken substantial efforts to meet those standards.

**Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct**

The board regularly reviews our Corporate Governance Guidelines, taking into account recent trends in corporate governance and any new rules adopted by the NYSE and the SEC. Among other things, these guidelines specify that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 Chief Executive Officer should be the only employee who serves as a director subject
 to exceptions approved by the board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a
 substantial majority of the members of the board should be independent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 board should hold regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· board
 members should be available to participate in our annual shareholders' meeting;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 board should annually evaluate its performance and contributions, and those of its committees.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· require
 any nominee for director in an uncontested election to tender a resignation if a greater
 number of votes are "withheld" from his or her election than are voted "for"
 the nominee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· prohibit
 directors from using EnPro stock in hedging or monetization transactions, including through
 the use of financial instruments such as exchange funds, prepaid variable forwards, equity
 swaps, puts, calls, collars, forwards and other derivative instruments.

Our Code of Business Conduct (the "Code") applies to our directors and all EnPro employees, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers. The Code covers conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, confidentiality, protection and proper use of company assets, fair dealing, compliance with laws (including insider trading laws), the accuracy and reliability of our books and records, and the reporting of illegal or unethical behavior.

The Code requires all transactions by directors or employees that would create a conflict of interest, including related party transactions that require disclosure in our proxy statement, to be reviewed by a member of our internal Corporate Compliance Committee or an attorney in our legal department. The Code also requires the transaction to be presented to our Chief Executive Officer and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Code does not include specific procedures for dealing with these transactions, but allows them to be dealt with case-by-case as they arise. All members of the board and all officers must annually certify their compliance with the Code. Each member of the board and each officer certified compliance without exception in the first quarter of 2022.

Copies of the Code and our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website at www.enproindustries.com. From our home page, click on the "For Investors" tab, then on "Governance," then on "Corporate Governance Documents" and then, for the Code, click "Code of Conduct" and, for the Corporate Governance Guidelines, click "Corporate Governance Guidelines."

**Corporate social responsibility and sustainability**

Our emphasis on corporate social responsibility and sustainability is at the core of how EnPro does business. We believe this focus creates long-term value for all stakeholders, while positioning our businesses for ongoing success. This focus aligns with and includes our People Strategy of attracting and retaining the most talented people, nurturing their mental and physical health, and fostering holistic development and well-being across the organization and throughout careers.

*Board oversight.* Our board of directors exercises oversight with respect to corporate social responsibility and sustainability matters directly and through its committees. In 2022, we established the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Committee, a management committee reporting directly to and charged with assisting the board in implementing its responsibilities and duties related to material ESG matters relevant to business activities throughout EnPro. The ESG Committee's purpose is to support our commitment to environmental stewardship, sustainability, enterprise health and safety, corporate social responsibility and good corporate governance. Its responsibilities include analysis and reporting with respect to climate change impacts, greenhouse gas emissions, environmental and supply chain sustainability, product life cycle management, human rights, and diversity and inclusion matters. The ESG Committee provides reports at each regularly scheduled board meeting, to enable ESG-related topics to be incorporated into EnPro's risk management frameworks and capital allocation and strategic decision-making.

Our board of directors also exercises oversight through its other committees. For example, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee annually reviews our People Strategies, including talent development, and more frequently considers matters with respect to employee safety, retention and diversity and inclusion.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICIES AND PRACTICES CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br>

During 2022, we continued the implementation of our comprehensive, multi-year, multi-faceted environmental sustainability strategy based on management analysis of the materiality assessment completed in 2021. One major accomplishment was the development and implementation of a software system to capture and analyze electricity, natural gas and water usage data at each of our manufacturing facilities. Through use of this system, we have determined our greenhouse gas emissions for 2021 and 2022 and we have begun the development of a reduction goal with 2021 serving as the baseline year. We also adopted a new environmental sustainability policy which, along with the ESG Committee's charter, has been posted on our website.

*Employee development.* We strive to create an environment where all colleagues can flourish. We continue to build upon our culture as a foundation upon which we operate and we believe human development and care for the communities and environments surrounding us leads to optimal financial performance; while the pursuit of optimal financial performance empowers our colleagues and drives enhancement of skills and improves decision-making.

In 2023, as part of our employee development efforts, we are reinforcing with all team members that our daily endeavors contribute to the greater good that EnPro provides to its teams and communities. By emphasizing the value of "How We Work" in addition to "What We Do," team members are held to a standard of innovation, accountability, collaboration, servanthood, clarity and courage. Our enduring, core values of Safety, Excellence and Respect drive our focus on the way we do business and care for our people and the environment.

As part of our commitment to our people, we provide a comprehensive compensation and benefits program that is designed to attract and retain employees. Our programs are structured to meet the evolving needs of our team members and their families. In the United States, this includes a company-wide minimum wage of $15 per hour, a 401k plan with company match, an award-winning well-being program, flexible vacation and time off policies that include a "take what you need" program for salaried employees, enhanced employee assistance programs, employer-paid disability, paid family leave, tuition assistance, and comprehensive healthcare benefits that include medical, prescription drug, dental, life, health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts, critical illness and accidental, death and dismemberment coverages.

*Safety.* Our core values are Safety, Excellence, and Respect. Our aim at EnPro is to live our values every day and we are proud of the safety culture that enables our team members to feel both physically and psychologically safe at work.

We are starting down a path to align our operational safety activities with ISO 45001. This will further strengthen our safety culture and create enhanced safety processes to drive consistency and repeatability. We are enabling all members of our EHS Community of Practice to be trained as ISO lead auditors. In addition, our internal Safety Audit program is also transitioning to align with ISO audit practices. There have been significant changes to our portfolio over the past three years through our successful reshaping efforts, and, as a result, we are focusing on integrating our newer operations and adapting our EnPro Safety System to fit into each new operation.

We have an active and engaged EHS Community of Practice. Our EHS leaders work as a global team to develop new initiatives as well as monitor and grow our comprehensive system. For example, in late 2022, our Community of Practice developed a comprehensive global onboarding program for our new colleagues. The program is being rolled out in early 2023 and will include significant time spent on familiarizing new team members to our culture, which is very likely unique from any place they have worked before. Our values, the way we work together and our deep commitment to safety differentiates us. We also launched the Home Safe Initiative, which invites team members to share why safety is important to them personally. Shared in video form, this content is distributed throughout EnPro.

*Diversity and inclusion.* We believe that a diverse workforce is critical to our success, and we purposefully strive for a culture that reflects and embraces all forms of diversity, while encouraging belonging and psychological comfort. In alignment with our values, we infuse diversity, equity and inclusion best practices in every aspect of the team member experience, from selection and hiring, through exit and off-boarding. We believe ongoing development of effective teams must include perspective-taking, emotional intelligence, respectful feedback and genuine appreciation for our purpose as an organization, as well as individually, all in addition to functional and technical skills-based training to retain talented team members.

In addition to our cultural accountability regarding diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, we track certain thresholds to monitor our progress on these matters. We entered 2023 with more than 40% of our team members diverse by gender and/or ethnicity in the top three tiers of the organization. Given our focus on internally developed talent, and the uniqueness of the way we work, and our differentiated culture, we expect many of the future leaders at EnPro will emerge from within.

*Supporting our communities.* In connection with our commitment to promoting diversity and improving the communities where our employees live and work, in 2020, we launched the EnPro Foundation to support charitable, educational, and other organizations working to advance education, equality, diversity and the preservation of human dignity. The Foundation is managed by employees who volunteer their time and talents to fulfill this mission. Since inception, we have provided grants totaling $356,000 to sixteen organizations who support the Foundation's purpose to "Support the release of human possibility by investing in underserved populations in the areas of professional, educational, personal, and community development." Earlier this year, the Foundation met an important goal of establishing and funding an employee relief program. This relief fund will provide short-term financial assistance to our employees during times of unexpected crisis, and all grants will be objectively determined on a confidential basis.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**23**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICIES AND PRACTICES CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br>

*Environmental Sustainability.* EnPro recognizes that climate change is a significant and complex challenge that we must address in partnership with all of our stakeholders. We are committed to diligently exploring all opportunities to reduce our energy usage and optimize our resources in an effort to minimize consequent greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, we have committed to gradually and strategically reducing carbon outputs generated by our businesses. We have divested certain carbon-intensive lines of business and selectively disengaged from market sectors that are highly carbon intensive. We have acquired businesses that are more technologically advanced and less carbon intensive. We measure our progress in a variety of ways, including monitoring the percentage of our revenue that comes from sectors such as the oil & gas and automotive industries. In 2022, approximately 2% of our revenue was derived from the oil & gas sector, which was materially reduced due in large part to the divestiture of the Compressor Products International business (CPI) business completed in December 2021. In addition, our global automotive industry exposure, previously approximately 7% of total revenue, was reduced to an immaterial amount with the completion of the GGB divestiture in November 2022.

Our products and solutions, such as highly engineered gaskets and seals, as well as cleaning and coating high-value tools in the semiconductor production process, safeguard our environment by preventing the release of harmful substances into the environment, while keeping volatile substances within a closed system for optimal operating performance. We also design, manufacture and sell solutions that support the supply of electricity from sustainable sources, including a portfolio of proprietary solutions that are critical componentry for the safe operation of nuclear power plants. Across EnPro, our high-value portfolio of critical solutions touches a variety of markets, where a failure could be catastrophic and result in the loss of human life or damage to the surrounding environment.

We are planning to publish our third Corporate Sustainability Report in the second quarter of 2023, which will be available on our website at *www.enproindustries.com*.

**Director independence**

The EnPro board believes a substantial majority of its directors should be independent. In connection with its nomination of the director nominees listed in this proxy statement, the board considered the independence of each person nominated by the board of directors for election as a director and determined that Mr. Abbey, Mr. Botts, Mr. Brueck, Ms. Gulfo, Mr. Hauser, Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Keating, Ms. Reinsdorf and Mr. van der Graaf are independent. Mr. Vaillancourt is an employee and is not considered independent.

To determine independence, the board used the definition of an "independent director" in the NYSE listing standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which categorize a director as independent only if the board affirms the director has no outside material relationship with our company (either directly or as a director, partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). Each director has completed a questionnaire to identify any relationships he or she may have with us or with any of our executive officers or other directors. After discussing all relationships disclosed in the responses to these questionnaires, the board determined that no director, except Mr. Vaillancourt, has a material relationship with the company other than as a director and all directors, except for Mr. Vaillancourt, are independent.

**Board, committee and director evaluations**

The board of directors and the Audit and Risk Management, Compensation and Human Resources, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees each assess their performances with yearly self-evaluations. The evaluations are completed by means of a questionnaire submitted to the directors inviting written comments on all aspects of the board's and each committee's process. In addition, the evaluations include an individual director assessment component to permit each director to evaluate the contributions of each of the other directors. The evaluations are summarized, reviewed by the Chairman of the Board and become the basis for discussions of board, committee and director performances and recommendations for improvements in the ways the board and committees function and directors perform their duties.

**Audit committee financial experts**

The board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Hauser and Mr. Humphrey, members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of the SEC's Regulation S-K. At its February 2023 meeting, the board determined that each of Mr. Hauser and Mr. Humphrey, through his education and experience, including his respective experience serving as the chief financial officer of a large public company, has all of the following attributes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an
 understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 ability to assess the general application of those principles in connection with the
 accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· experience
 in preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth
 and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth
 and complexity of issues that our financial statements can reasonably be expected to
 raise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an
 understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an
 understanding of audit committee functions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICIES AND PRACTICES Director candidate qualifications <br>

**Director candidate qualifications**

When considering candidates for director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account a number of factors, including whether the candidate is independent from management and the company, whether the candidate has relevant business experience, the composition of the existing board, and the candidate's existing commitments to other businesses.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks diversity among the directors, including diversity in professional experience, skills and industry background, as well as gender, racial/ethnic and geographic diversity. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that when conducting searches for new directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take reasonable steps to include diverse candidates in the pool of nominees and any search firm engaged by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will affirmatively be instructed to seek to include diverse candidates. In addition, all candidates must meet the requirements of our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Those requirements include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· broad
 training and experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education,
 technology or philanthropy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· expertise
 useful to our company and complementary to the background and experience of other board
 members, so that we can achieve and maintain an optimum balance in board membership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· high
 integrity, strength of character and mature judgment essential to effective decision-making;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· devoting
 the time required for the work of the board and one or more of its committees. Candidates
 should be willing to serve on the board over a period of several years in order to develop
 sound knowledge of our business and principal operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· no
 significant conflict of interest; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· being
 at least 18 and no more than 74 years old. A candidate who has reached age 74 may be
 nominated for election or re-election if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
 and our board of directors determine his or her nomination is in the best interests of
 our company and our shareholders. The determination will be made by a majority vote of
 directors not subject to the age limit.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for director who are recommended by shareholders. Shareholders who wish to suggest a candidate for nomination should send a written statement addressed to our Secretary at 5605 Carnegie Boulevard, Suite 500, Charlotte, North Carolina 28209. See "Shareholder Proposals" on page 68 for a description of the requirements to be followed under our bylaws in submitting a candidate and the content of the required statements.

**Nomination process**

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the skills of our current directors with all of the skills we have identified as necessary to maintain an attentive, high-functioning board. In connection with nomination of the slate of directors that the board of directors proposes for election by the shareholders each year, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates incumbent directors' continuation on the board of directors. Before recommending a sitting director for re-election, the Committee considers whether the director's re-election would be consistent with the criteria for board membership in our Corporate Governance Guidelines (as described above) and, the skills identified in the matrix used by the Committee (as described above), as well as prior shareholder votes for the election of the director and applicable rules and requirements of the SEC and NYSE. An individual incumbent director's re-nomination is dependent upon a performance assessment and suitability review conducted by the Committee. The performance assessment takes into account the director's participation in and contribution to the activities of the board. The Committee will also consider whether there is any evolving need for the addition of additional skills to the board. When the Committee identifies desirable skills that are lacking among incumbent directors, the Committee searches to identify candidates who would add the missing skills. The search includes soliciting suggestions from incumbent directors, management or others and evaluating suggestions submitted by shareholders. The Committee may also engage a third party to identify and evaluate candidates and has done so in the past.

As noted above, in addition to seeking to expand the skills of the board of directors when adding new members to the board of directors, the Committee also considers the diversity of the members of the board, including with respect to professional experience and industry background, as well as gender, racial/ethnic and geographic diversity. The Committee evaluates the candidates and if it agrees on the suitability of a candidate, the candidate is interviewed by each member of the board of directors, generally in separate meetings. The Committee may also ask the candidate to meet with management. If the Committee concludes a candidate has skills that would add value to the board and if the candidate meets all of the requirements for membership, the Committee will recommend the candidate to the full board for nomination for election or appointment (if the purpose of the search was to fill a vacancy).

Our directors share certain characteristics that we believe are critical to effective board membership. They include sound and mature business judgment and critical thinking skills essential to intelligent decision-making, experience in policy making and risk assessment, integrity and honesty, and the ability to collaborate effectively. These characteristics, and the specific experiences and qualifications noted in the biographies found in the section headed "Nominees for Election" support the board's nomination for election of each of these individuals.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICIES AND PRACTICES Communications with the board <br>

**Communications with the board**

Shareholders and other interested parties can communicate with our board in various ways. They may write the board at 5605 Carnegie Boulevard, Suite 500, Charlotte, North Carolina 28209; they may contact the board anonymously and confidentially through our EnTegrity Assistance Line; and they may attend our annual shareholders meeting, where they will have the opportunity to speak with members of our board.

Letters to the board should be addressed in care of our Secretary, who the board has authorized to receive and process written correspondence. He will direct correspondence about issues within the board's scope of responsibility directly to the Chairman and to the chairman of any committee to which the correspondence relates. Customer complaints and other correspondence about ordinary business matters are sent directly to the applicable business. Correspondence of other types is not forwarded to the board but held by the Secretary and made available to any director who wishes to see it.

Shareholders and other interested parties who wish to send anonymous and confidential correspondence to the board may do so through our EnTegrity Assistance Line. The line is staffed by an independent third party who is responsible for receiving and forwarding messages submitted on the line. Instructions for using the line are available under the "EnTegrity Assistance Line" link accessed from the "Governance" link, which is accessed from the "For Investors" link on our website at *www.enproindustries.com*. Items addressed to the board of directors are forwarded to the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, a non-management director. Items not addressed specifically to the board of directors are forwarded to our Director of Internal Audit, who reports directly to the Audit and Risk Management Committee and is a member of our internal Corporate Compliance Committee. The Director of Internal Audit periodically updates the Audit and Risk Management Committee about the investigation and resolution of all reports alleging financial and other types of misconduct.

**Director compensation**

Our non-employee directors received the following compensation for 2022:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an
 annual cash retainer of $90,000, paid in quarterly installments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an
 annual grant of shares or, if a director so elects, phantom shares equal in value to
 approximately $110,000.

Additional cash compensation is paid to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 chairman of our Compensation and Human Resources Committee, who received an annual fee
 of $15,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 chairman of our Audit and Risk Management Committee, who received an annual fee of $20,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 chairman of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, who received an annual
 fee of $10,000; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our
 Chairman, who received an additional fee at an annual rate of $80,000.

Compensation is prorated for service in any of these capacities for a portion of the year. In addition, each director may be granted shares, or phantom shares if elected by the director, upon his or her initial election to the board. The amount of such an award is determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and has generally been based on the number of days remaining in the year that the director is elected.

Employee directors receive no compensation for serving on our board.

We periodically review benchmarking studies to evaluate the amount and form of compensation paid to non-employee directors relative to the compensation paid to non-employee directors of peer companies. We believe that the compensation paid to our non-employee directors is reasonable.

Non-employee directors are generally granted fully-vested shares, or phantom shares if elected by the director, at the first meeting of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee each year. Phantom shares are fully vested when awarded and are paid in shares of common stock when a director ceases his or her service on the board.

Board members are required to own the company's stock. Each director has five years from the date he or she joins the board to accumulate EnPro shares equal in value to at least five times the annual cash retainer paid to directors. Phantom shares count toward this requirement. We examine compliance with this policy each February. As of February 15, 2023, all of the directors who have served for five years complied with this requirement.

A Deferred Compensation Plan allows non-employee directors to defer receipt of all or part of the cash portion of their annual retainer fees. The deferred portions of the fees can be directed to a cash account or a stock account. Fees deferred into a cash account are credited with a return based on an investment option chosen by the director from those available under our Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (excluding our common stock). Fees deferred into a stock account are credited with stock units, each equal in value to the fair market value of one share of our common stock on a given date. All amounts deferred are payable after a director ceases his or her service on the board. As of December 31, 2022, the following directors had deferred compensation balances under the plan: Mr. Abbey, 284 stock units; Mr. Botts, 2,902 stock units; Mr. Brueck, 9,823 stock units; Mr. Hauser, $1,763,894 and 8,388 stock units; and Mr. Humphrey, 7,653 stock units.

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Messrs. Abbey and Humphrey deferred $29,000, and $106,667, respectively, of the fees earned in 2022 pursuant to our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Of these amounts, Mr. Abbey and Mr. Humphrey elected to defer $29,000 and $106,667, respectively, into a stock account and, as a result, an aggregate of 284 stock units and an aggregate of 1,160 stock units were credited to them, respectively, under our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The grant date fair value of such stock units is equal to the dollar amount of the fees deferred into the stock account.

<sup>(2)</sup> On February 15, 2022, each director then serving as a non-employee member of the board received a grant of 1,041 shares, or at the director's election 1,041 phantom shares to be settled in shares of common stock. In determining the number of shares (or phantom shares) to be awarded, we used the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding February 15, 2022, which average price was $105.64 per share. The dollar amount presented in the table for these directors reflects the closing price of our common stock on February 15, 2022, which was $108.39 per share. Mr. Abbey received a prorated award of 362 shares upon his election as a director on September 5, 2022, based on the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding September 5, 2022, which average price was $98.34 per share. The dollar amount presented in the table for this award to Mr. Abbey reflects the closing price of our common stock on September 2, 2022 (the trading day immediately preceding September 5, 2022, which was a federal holiday), which was $88.75 per share. Upon the company's payment of dividends on shares of its common stock, non- employee directors who elected to receive phantom shares, or who received phantom shares in the past, receive phantom shares as dividend equivalents with respect to both the phantom shares awarded to such directors in consideration for their service and the phantom shares credited to the account of directors who have elected to defer receipt of cash compensation under our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non- Employee Directors. As of December 31, 2022, the non-employee directors held the following numbers of phantom shares, including phantom shares to be settled in cash:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Director** | **Number of<br> Phantom Shares** |
| William Abbey |  |
| Thomas M. Botts | 14579 |
| Felix M. Brueck | 11669 |
| B. Bernard Burns, Jr. | 15798 |
| Diane C. Creel | 21279 |
| Adele M. Gulfo | 3973 |
| David L. Hauser | 29092 |
| John Humphrey | 9750 |
| Judith A. Reinsdorf | 432 |
| Kees van der Graaf | 17471 |

---

<sup>(3)</sup> Such amounts equal the aggregate grant date fair value of phantom shares to be settled in shares of common stock issued pursuant to the dividend equivalent rights provisions of previously granted awards of phantom shares to be settled in shares of common stock with respect to dividends paid on our common stock in 2022. The grant date fair value of each such dividend equivalent issuance is equal (subject to rounding of the number of phantom shares issued) to the cash dividend payable on the number of shares of our common stock equal to such director's aggregate number of phantom shares to be settled in shares of common stock held as of the record date for the payment of such dividend.

There have been no changes to the compensation of non-employee directors for 2023.

**Audit Committee report**

**The Audit Committee oversees the quality and integrity of our financial reporting processes and our internal accounting controls. Management prepares our financial statements and establishes and maintains adequate internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm performs an independent integrated audit of those financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.**

The Audit Committee has met and discussed with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, our audited 2022 consolidated financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting, and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. In meeting with the Audit Committee, management informed the committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements and our system of internal control over financial reporting with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

In addition, the Audit Committee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· discussed
 with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit
 Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· received
 the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP relating to the
 firm's independence required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule
 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· confirmed
 with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the firm's independence from us.

The Audit Committee also discussed with our internal auditors and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the overall scope and plans for their respective 2022 audits. With and without the presence of management, the Audit Committee met with the internal auditors and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluations of our internal control over financial reporting, and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

Relying on its discussions with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and its review of management's representation and the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to it, the Audit Committee recommended that the board of directors include our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be filed with the SEC.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**28**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

**Proposal 2 — Advisory vote approving**

**executive compensation**

(Item 2 on the proxy card)

**The EnPro board of directors provides our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers. Their compensation is reported in our proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareholders. To provide this opportunity to our shareholders, we will present the following resolution to the shareholders at the annual meeting:**

"Resolved, that the shareholders hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the company's named executive officers as disclosed, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the company's proxy statement for the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders."

This vote does not bind the company. However, the board of directors and the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, which is composed only of independent directors, expect to take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions.

As we describe in detail below under "Compensation discussion and analysis," we design our executive officer compensation programs to attract, motivate, and retain the key executives who drive our success. Our objective is to establish pay practices that reward them for superior performance and align their interests as managers of our company with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

We achieve our objectives through compensation that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· is
 tied to business performance. A substantial portion of each executive officer's
 total compensation opportunity is based on our financial results—disappointing
 performance results in little or no payout while superior performance leads to superior
 payouts—and the portion compensation based on our financial performance increases
 with the officer's level of responsibility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· is
 significantly stock-based. Stock-based compensation ensures our executives and our shareholders
 have common interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· enhances
 retention of our executives—much of their total compensation vests over several
 years;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· does
 not encourage our executives to take unnecessary or excessive risks; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· enables
 us to compete effectively for talented individuals who will help us successfully execute
 our business plan.

In structuring annual and long-term incentive compensation opportunities, we select performance measures that we believe significantly drive the value of our company. For 2022 we selected a combination of incentive performance measures that focus on driving operating earnings and rewarding the appropriate use of capital, and include a relative shareholder return measure to evaluate our performance relative to a peer group. We set goals against these measures and make little or no payment for poor performance against our goals, though our executives can earn significant payment relative to their salary levels for superior performance against them. In 2022, we made awards of stock options and restricted stock units that become exercisable or vest in equal annual installments generally over three years, both to encourage retention and to provide an incentive for performance to increase the value of our shares.

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

**We routinely engage with our shareholders**

Throughout the course of each year, we speak with numerous shareholders, including frequent conversations with many of our largest shareholders. These conversations cover a wide range of topics, including our strategic direction, financial performance, future growth opportunities, capital allocation strategy, business continuity, environmental, social and governance initiatives, management succession and compensation practices. During these conversations in 2022, our shareholders noted general support for our performance-driven compensation practices. We communicate investor feedback on our compensation practices to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and take shareholder views into account as we seek to align our policies and practices with their interests.

**We employ best practices in executive compensation**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 balance short-term and long-term compensation to discourage short-term risk taking at
 the expense of long-term results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders.
 We require our officers to own and retain meaningful amounts of stock and to increase
 their ownership as their levels of responsibility increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our
 Compensation and Human Resources Committee relies on an independent executive compensation
 consultant to evaluate our compensation plans. The consultant reports directly to the
 committee and provides no other services to our company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 provide only minimal perquisites.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We
 generally make compensation decisions and grant equity and other compensation awards
 only on an annual basis, with interim adjustments and awards only in unusual circumstances,
 such as in connection with a material change in an executive officer's responsibilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our
 policies prohibit executives from hedging ownership of EnPro stock and from pledging
 of EnPro stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our
 clawback policy entitles us to recover performance-based compensation from any executive
 officer whose fraud or willful misconduct requires a material restatement of our financial
 results.

We encourage our shareholders to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the accompanying compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure included in this proxy statement.

***<u>Summary of business highlights</u>***

 ****

*2022: A foundational year for EnPro*. Throughout 2022, EnPro showed differentiated performance in a challenging environment marred with inflationary pressures, supply chain constraints and macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. We successfully completed the divestiture portion of EnPro's portfolio reshaping strategy, which culminated in the announcement to divest the remaining businesses in the former Engineered Materials segment to focus on where we have the best opportunities for long- term organic growth and strong profitability. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, the company recast its financial results to reflect the continuing operations of the Sealing Technologies and Advanced Surface Technologies segments—the two segments upon which we intend to build with both organic investments and strategic acquisitions—in an effort to continue our positive trajectory for long-term, profitable growth, while creating opportunities for development and growth for our colleagues.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY-SUMMARY OF BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS <br>

In 2022, we completed the intended divestiture portion of our transformation to reposition our portfolio of businesses toward less cyclical businesses that serve faster growing markets and generate higher returns on invested capital.

![](i23091023.jpg)

In 2019, we embarked on a portfolio transformation in an effort to maximize our growth outlook, margin foundation and cash flow generation. We have largely completed the divestiture portion of our transformation. We are now focused on driving sustained organic revenue growth, strong margins and a free cash flow generation that creates optionality for future organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

*Acquisitions & Divestitures.* We did not complete any acquisitions in 2022. We completed the GGB divestiture in November 2022 for $305 million, materially reducing our European manufacturing footprint and virtually eliminating our end-market exposures in automotive markets. We announced in September 2022 our intention to divest the GPT business, the last remaining business of our former Engineered Materials segment, and completed the sale of that business in January 2023. As a result of these dispositions and the application of the net proceeds, including to reduce debt, we entered 2023 with a strong balance sheet.

*Financial highlights.* Sales increased 30.8% in 2022, as demand remained firm and strategic pricing initiatives in the face of unprecedented inflation progressed. Sales in the semiconductor, food and pharma, aerospace and power generation markets were strong through 2022, while general industrial demand remained firm. We exited 2022 with strong operating results, driven by continued portfolio reshaping toward our most profitable, dynamic businesses, cost discipline in an inflationary raw material environment and strong organic volume growth.

*Operating system.* Part of our culture of commercial and operational excellence is the effectiveness of our operating system that focuses on continuous improvement, strategic pricing discipline, technology implementation and customer intimacy in an effort to improve or preserve margins and drive strong free cash flow. We create value by maintaining world-class standards, empowering every employee to continually learn and adopt an ownership-based mentality, and instilling a desire to learn from others, contribute to others, and ensure company-wide commitment and accountability. Our operating system has been stressed under various scenarios, such as the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, among other economic and geopolitical gyrations over time, and allows us to deploy the strength of our organization throughout our enterprise to build for a stronger future.

*Sustainability.* At EnPro, the way we work centers around our core values of Safety, Excellence and Respect. We believe our commitment to sustainability creates long-term value for our stakeholders and positions our businesses for success in the future. Sustainability, governance and environmental stewardship is woven deeply into the fabric of our company. Over the last twenty years as an independent public company, our subsidiaries have resolved numerous legacy environmental and other claims for matters pre-dating our spin-off from Goodrich Corporation in 2002.

Our strategy to recruit diverse and qualified talent, as well as our commitment to the physical and psychological health and safety of our colleagues is omnipresent in our organization. We find collaborative ways to achieve our high standards for environmental, social, and governance excellence.

Sustainability is also woven into our portfolio strategy. We have divested certain carbon-intensive lines of business and selectively disengaged with market sectors that are highly carbon-intensive, such as automotive and oil and gas. We have acquired businesses that are less carbon intensive and sell into less carbon-intensive markets, with a firm focus on safeguarding critical environments and providing products and services that protect local process environments from harsh contaminants. We are committed to diligently exploring all opportunities to reduce our energy usage and minimizing the resulting greenhouse gas emissions wherever economically and technically feasible—in 2022, we took steps to calculate our baseline energy usage. Many of our products, such as gaskets and seals, protect our environment by helping to contain and prevent the release of harmful substances. We also design, manufacture and sell numerous products that support the supply of electricity from sustainable sources, including seals for nuclear power plants.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY-SUMMARY OF BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS <br>

We will publish our next sustainability report in the second quarter of 2023; following the distribution of our inaugural sustainability report in May 2021. Our sustainability reports highlight the ways our company cares for the people who work with us, the communities in which we operate, and the planet we all live on. We implemented software monitoring systems at our primary manufacturing facilities globally and will seek to improve our energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste generation over time. In addition, we further expanded our diversity and inclusion efforts to further our already firm foundation of measurement and improvement of these important metrics throughout our organization.

*Dividends and share repurchases.* In 2022, we paid quarterly dividends to shareholders of $0.28 per share, representing a 4% increase over per share dividend payments in 2021. We regularly evaluate our capital allocation strategy based on company performance and anticipated capital requirements for growth, and we will continue this practice in 2022. We did not repurchase shares in 2022, choosing instead to focus on our organic and future inorganic growth initiatives.

***<u>Shareholder engagement</u>***

 ****

Throughout the course of each year, we speak with several shareholders, including frequent conversations with many of our largest shareholders through purposeful outreach. These conversations cover a wide range of topics, including our strategic direction, financial performance, future growth opportunities, capital allocation priorities, business continuity, environmental, social and governance initiatives, management succession and compensation practices. During these conversations in 2022, our shareholders noted support of our performance-driven plans and procedures, including our compensation practices. We communicate investor feedback on our compensation practices to the Committee and take shareholder views into account as we seek to align our practices with their interests.

At our 2022 annual meeting, we asked our shareholders to support a non-binding resolution to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers as reported in our proxy statement for that meeting. Of the shares voted "for" or "against" that proposal, approximately 94% of the shares were voted "for" approval of that resolution. The Committee typically establishes incentive compensation opportunities each February. While the April 2022 shareholder vote occurred after the structure for the 2022 compensation awards had been set by the Committee, the 2022 shareholder vote was considered by the Committee in determining the compensation program for 2023.

***<u>2022 executive compensation decisions at a glance</u>***

 ****

In 2022, the Committee continued its executive compensation program, with annual salary adjustments and annual incentive and long-term compensation awards similar in form to the program for incentive compensation that it first implemented in 2020. In 2021, the Committee substantially increased long-term compensation awards as a proportion of the NEOs' total compensation to provide additional retention incentive and to reward exceptional efforts to successfully navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic while effecting strategic portfolio-reshaping transactions, including the acquisition of Alluxa and dispositions of the businesses comprising the former Engineered Materials segment and certain businesses in the Sealing Products segment, with the recognition that payouts under certain of the previously granted LTIP awards were adversely affected by the company's subsequent portfolio-shaping transactions. At the time, the Committee viewed this increase in long-term compensation awards as being limited to awards made at that time. Consistent with that expectation, in February 2022, the Committee provided long- term compensation awards at a proportionate level generally consistent with the Committee's practices prior to 2021.

Because Mr. Vaillancourt's annual base salary rate had been set in November 2021 in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, the Committee did not make any adjustment to his base salary rate in 2022. In 2022, the Committee adjusted the base salary rates of the other named executive officers, other than Dr. Sweeney, from the levels paid in 2021 by an average of 4.75%, with individual increases ranging from 4% to 5%. Due to the date of her separation of employment, Dr. Sweeney's base salary was not adjusted in 2022.

For the awards made in 2022 under our annual incentive compensation plan, the Committee, consistent with its decision in 2021, selected adjusted EBITDA and cash flow return on operating capital ("Cash Flow ROIC") as the equally weighted performance measures. The Committee selected these performance measures because they are the critical measures we use internally in managing our businesses and are measures of our profitability and the performance of our assets relative to our investment. The Committee believes that performance against these measures is a primary driver, over time, of the value of our company. These performance measures were selected also to focus operators on assets they can control—working capital and capital expenditures and earnings on those assets. The Committee selected Cash Flow ROIC because this measure includes an emphasis on cash flow and exercising capital discipline and working capital management, consistent with our corporate strategy to focus on improving cash flow of our existing businesses and reshaping our portfolio of businesses with a focus on owning businesses that are aligned with secular growth trends, enjoy high recurring revenue and margins, and have low capital intensity.

The following chart shows our actual payout performance level against the target level of performance for these awards (target level being reflected at 100%) and the resulting payout level against the target payout level. We achieved adjusted EBITDA at a level between the target and maximum performance levels for that performance measure as a result of strong performance across most of our businesses, reflecting continued organic growth in our Advanced Surface Technologies segment, efficiency gains and organic growth in our Sealing Technologies segment, the benefits of prior-period portfolio reshaping, and responsive pricing action, which more than offset material cost increases. We achieved a Cash Flow ROIC that exceeded the maximum level for that performance measure. This performance resulted primarily from above-target earnings and secondarily from our focused and disciplined cash management throughout the year.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY-2022 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DECISIONS AT A GLANCE <br>

**2022 Annual Incentive Compensation**

For the long-term compensation awards made as part of the annual compensation review in February 2022, the Committee granted to the NEOs, other than Mr. Angelillo, a mixture of time-vesting restricted stock units, stock options and Performance Share Awards (LTIP awards denominated in share units and payable in cash), with the value of the awards allocated 40% to restricted stock units, 30% to stock options and 30% to Performance Share Awards. Because of the level of his responsibility, Mr. Angelillo's long-term compensation awards did not include stock options and were allocated 60% to restricted stock units and 40% to Performance Share Awards. To determine the target number of restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and the number of stock options, the Committee divided the applicable dollar amount by the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the award for the restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and by the Black-Scholes accounting value for the stock options.

The restricted stock unit awards generally vest in equal annual installments, subject to continued employment, over three years. The stock options become exercisable in equal annual installments, subject to continued employment, over three years. The stock options have a term of 10 years from the date of grant with earlier termination in connection with a termination of employment, other than retirement (in which case the options continue to become exercisable based on the vesting schedule). The Committee authorized the award of the stock options at its meeting in February 2022, but deferred the grant of the stock options until the second trading day after the company's public announcement of our 2022 financial results, with the per share exercise price being set at the closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on that second trading day.

The payout amount for the Performance Share Awards is based on our total shareholder return compared to the same measure of the S&P SmallCap 600 Capital Goods (Industry Group) Index measured over a three-year performance cycle (rTSR). EnPro is one of the companies included in this index. There are no payouts if our rTSR is below the 25th percentile, with payouts at 50% of the target payout if our rTSR is at the 25th percentile, 100% of the target payout if our rTSR is at the 50th percentile, and 200% of the target payout if our rTSR equals or exceeds the 75th percentile, with payouts interpolated for rTSR levels between these points and payout capped at 100% of the target payout level if total shareholder return over the period is negative. The Performance Share Award amounts are denominated in shares of our common stock. For payout, the amounts with respect to share units earned under a Performance Share Award are to be converted to cash based the average fair market value per share of our common stock over the 20 business days preceding the date the Committee certifies the achievement of the performance level with respect to the Performance Share Award. In light of our plan for the strategic transformation of EnPro, the Committee continued the use of rTSR as a performance measure for the Performance Share Awards granted in 2022 to focus senior teams on the share value impact of all decisions, and align the management experience with the share value experience of shareholders, as compared to the share performance of the peer group. The performance cycle is the three-year period ending December 31, 2024.

The Committee elected to award stock options to better align the compensation of the executive officers receiving those awards with shareholder interests and to incentivize those executive officers to shape the company's portfolio of businesses and to operate the businesses in a way that results in long-term share appreciation. The Committee decided to award restricted stock units to further align the compensation of the executive officers with shareholder interests and to provide an incentive for retention. The pro rata vesting of the restricted stock awards aligns with the vesting practice of the majority of our peer companies. The Committee determined that the Performance Share Awards should be payable in cash to retain a cash component of long-term compensation consistent with its prior practices, and, because the Performance Share Awards are denominated as performance share units, the amount of any payout will depend on the value of our common stock at that time. The Committee believes this long-term executive compensation structure aligns with the company's long-term business strategy and aligns and focuses our senior teams on the share-value impact of all decisions, including capital deployment,

dispositions and acquisitions, and encourages agile decision-making not influenced by the pursuit of metrics established at the beginning of the performance period that might become outdated and could fail to incentivize appropriate value creation by the end of the respective three-year performance period.

In February 2020, executive officers were granted Performance Shares Awards similar to the Performance Share Awards granted in February 2022, but with a three-year performance period that ended on December 31, 2022. In February 2023, the Committee certified the level of performance with respect to rTSR over the three-year period. The following chart illustrates the actual performance level as a percentage of target and payout level relative to the target level (shown at 100%) of the Performance Share Awards for the 2020-2022 performance cycle made to the executive officers. Performance on the rTSR measure was at the 75.9th percentile, which exceeded the maximum level, with total shareholder return over the period being positive. This resulted in a payout capped at 200% of the target level.

**2020-2022 Performance Share Awards**

![](i23091025.jpg)

***<u>Changes for 2023</u>***

 ****

The 2023 compensation program adopted by the Committee was structurally similar to the 2022 program, with the exceptions described below:

*Change in peer group.* In connection with its annual compensation decisions made in February 2023, the Committee approved changes recommended by its independent compensation consultant to the composition of the peer group of companies used by the consultant in preparing benchmarking compensation studies to be presented to the Committee. These changes are described in more detail on page 41 and were implemented to reflect the changes in the company's business as a result of its recent portfolio-reshaping activities, including acquisitions of LeanTeq, Alluxa and NxEdge and dispositions of the businesses comprising the former Engineered Materials segment and certain businesses in the Sealing Products segment.

*Performance Share Awards to be settled in shares.* Performance Share Awards granted in February 2023 are similar to those awarded in 2022, except that stock units earned under the awards will be paid out in an equal number of shares of common stock plus cash in an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid on such shares as if they had been issued on the date the Performance Share Award was granted. Performance Share Awards granted in 2022 provide for cash payout, with the share units earned under a Performance Share Award being converted for cash payout based on the average fair market value per share of our common stock (i.e., the closing price per share on the NYSE) over the 20 business days preceding the date the Committee certifies the achievement of the performance level with respect to the Performance Share Award. This adjustment to the Performance Share Awards increases the equity component of the long-term compensation awards made to executive officers.

*Retirement provisions under compensation awards.* Awards made in 2022 under our annual performance, long-term compensation and equity plans provide for certain benefits upon the employee's retirement—proration of the payout under annual performance plan awards and Performance Share Awards, prorated vesting of restricted stock units, and continued vesting of stock options. The awards made in 2022 defined "retirement" to be the employee's voluntary separation of service at any time after (i) age 65 or (ii) age 55 if the employee has at least 10 years of service with EnPro. For these awards made in 2023, the Committee increased the early retirement aspect of this definition, with "retirement" defined to be the employee's voluntary separation of service at any time after (i) age 65 or (ii) age 60 if the employee has at least 10 years of service with

EnPro. To balance the impact to employees of the increase in the early retirement age, for restricted stock units awarded in 2023, the Committee conformed the treatment upon retirement to the treatment under stock options, with vesting continuing on the scheduled vesting dates following retirement.

*Timing of stock option awards.* In 2022, the Committee authorized the award of the stock options at its meeting in February 2022, but deferred the grant of the stock options until the second trading day after the company's public announcement of our 2022 financial results, with the per share exercise price being set at the closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on that second trading day. The Committee followed a similar practice in 2023 with respect to the grant of stock options at its meeting in February 2023, except that the Committee deferred the grant of the stock options until the second trading day after the filing with the SEC of the company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the per share exercise price being set at the closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on that second trading day.

**What guides our executive compensation program**

The objectives of our executive officer compensation programs are to attract, motivate and retain key executives who will drive our success. Our pay practices reward these executives for superior performance and align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

We achieve our objectives through compensation that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· is
 tied to business performance. A substantial portion of each executive officer's total
 compensation opportunity is based on our financial results—disappointing performance
 results in little or no payout while superior performance leads to superior payouts—and
 the portion of compensation based on our financial performance increases with the officer's
 level of responsibility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· is
 significantly stock-based. Stock-based compensation ensures our executives and our shareholders
 have common interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· enhances retention of our executives. Much of their total compensation vests over several years;

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

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS WHAT GUIDES OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· enables us to compete effectively for talented individuals who will help us successfully execute our business plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· does not encourage our executives to take unnecessary or excessive risks.

To design an executive compensation program that is in line with these policies, the Committee considered:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the executive compensation and market competitiveness studies described below;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· internal pay fairness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· comprehensive
 compensation histories for each of our executive officers which include each element of compensation
 and benefits (salary, incentive awards, equity grants, retirement benefits, and possible
 severance or change in control payments);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the impact of tax and accounting rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· whether the structure of our compensation programs creates an incentive for taking excessive risk; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· trends affecting the company's markets.

\* To determine the target number of restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and the number of stock options, the Committee divided the applicable dollar amount by the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the award for the restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and by the Black-Scholes accounting value for the stock options. Awards to Mr. Angelillo were allocated 40% to Performance Share Awards and 60% to restricted stock units on this basis.

***<u>Target compensation mix</u>***

 ****

The following charts show the relative portion of Mr. Vaillancourt's 2022 target in-service compensation and the average target in-service compensation of the other current NEOs. Target in-service compensation consists of the base salary rate set in 2022, target annual performance-based cash compensation awards made in 2022, target Performance Share Awards (PSAs) granted in 2022, long-term equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded in 2022 and other 2022 compensation not related to changes in retirement benefits. To determine the target number of restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and the number of stock options, the Committee divided the applicable dollar amount by the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the award for the restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and by the Black-Scholes accounting value for the stock options. The amounts included for Performance Share Awards in the summary compensation table on page 48 and in the grants of plan-based awards table on page 50 are based on the grant date fair value of the Performance Share Awards determined using financial accounting assumptions as required by SEC rules for reporting the related compensation in those tables, which differ from the values assigned to these awards by the Committee as described above. The following charts reflect the Committee's basis for valuing these awards in allocating in-service compensation.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS WHAT GUIDES OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM <br>

***<u>The decision-making process</u>***

 ****

*The role of the Committee.* The primary function delegated to the Committee by our board is overseeing the appropriateness and cost of our compensation programs, particularly the program for executive officers. The Committee determines executive compensation based on a comprehensive view of factors designed to produce long-term business success. All of our non- management directors sit on the Committee.

When setting targeted in-service compensation for each of our executive officers, the Committee considers individual performance, experience and tenure. In evaluating the reasonableness and competitiveness of targeted in-service compensation, the Committee reviews compensation data for a broad survey group and for a peer group prepared by its independent executive compensation consultant.

The Committee generally sets annual salary rates and makes annual incentive and long-term compensation awards at its meetings in February of each year. The Committee occasionally adjusts compensation arrangements, including making long- term compensation awards, to NEOs or other employees at other times, such as in connection with hiring, promotion or for retention purposes.

*The role of the executive officers.* Certain members of our senior management team help prepare for and attend meetings where executive compensation, company performance targets, and competitive compensation levels and practices are discussed and evaluated. However, only the Committee members are allowed to vote on decisions regarding executive compensation. The Committee also receives recommendations from our CEO regarding the compensation of our other officers, including the other NEOs. Our CEO does not participate in the deliberations of the Committee and our board regarding his own compensation.

*The role of the independent executive compensation consultant.* The Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to provide expertise on competitive pay practices and compensation program design and an objective assessment of any inherent risks of any compensation programs. Pursuant to the authority granted to it under its charter, the Committee has retained Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC ("Pearl Meyer") as its independent consultant. Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Committee and does not provide additional services to management. The Committee has conducted an independence assessment of Pearl Meyer in accordance with SEC rules, NYSE listing standards, and the requirements of the Committee's charter, and has determined that work performed by Pearl Meyer does not create a conflict of interest and that Pearl Meyer is independent.

*The role of market analyses.* In evaluating target compensation levels, the Committee has requested its independent executive compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer, to prepare benchmarking studies. These studies have been prepared and presented to the Committee generally every year. The most recent study presented to the Committee in connection with the compensation decisions it made in February 2022 was prepared in October 2021.

In its benchmarking studies, Pearl Meyer compared the specific compensation elements we awarded to each of our executive officers to those awarded to executive officers with similar responsibilities of each member of the peer group and broader survey group and to the relevant medians of the peer group and survey groups. Based on its analysis, Pearl Meyer advised the Committee on adjustments to base salary, annual incentive award and long-term incentive awards for each named executive officer. Peer and survey compensation data allow the Committee to determine whether our compensation programs and target compensation levels for executive officers are reasonable and competitive.

At the direction of the Committee, Pearl Meyer screened and reviewed companies included in Standard & Poor's Global Industry Classification Standard Capital Goods industry classification, reviewed the peer groups included in the 2021 reports of certain principal proxy advisory firms, and conducted an analysis to identify potential peer companies, evaluating comparability in terms of sales, business mix alignment, and market value, among other factors. The peer group selected by the Committee for the 2021 study, consistent with Pearl Meyer's recommendation following its analysis and with the peer group used in Pearl Meyer's most recent study completed in 2020, was as follows (with Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation formerly being known as Rexnord Corporation and Crane Co. and SPX Corporation reorganizing as Crane Holdings Co. and SPX Technologies, Inc., respectively):

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS WHAT GUIDES OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM <br>

Annual 2020 revenues of the companies in this peer group ranged from $529 million to $3.1 billion, with median revenues of $1.6 billion, consistent with our annual revenues prior to the company's significant portfolio re-shaping transactions that commenced with its disposition of Fairbanks Morse in 2020 but exceeding our then-reported 2020 revenues of $1.1 billion following the sale of Fairbanks Morse (and prior to the recasting of the former Engineered Materials segment as discontinued operations). The market capitalization of these peer companies at the time of the study ranged from $671 million to $16.1 billion, with median market capitalization of $3.8 billion.

In connection with its preparation for annual executive compensation decisions made in February 2023, the Committee approved changes recommended by Pearl Meyer to the composition of the peer group for the purposes of the benchmarking compensation studies to be reviewed by the Committee in making those compensation decisions. These changes were implemented to reflect the changes in the company's business as a result of its recent portfolio-reshaping activities, including acquisitions of LeanTeq, Alluxa and NxEdge and dispositions of the businesses comprising the former Engineered Materials segment and certain businesses in the Sealing Products segment. The peer group was adjusted by adding CTS Corporation, Entegris, Inc., ESCO Technologies, Inc., FormFactor, Inc., Helios Technologies, Inc. and Materion Corporation and removing Chart Industries, Inc., CIRCOR International, Inc., Columbus McKinnon Corporation, Crane Holdings, Co., ITT Inc. and TriMas Corporation. In addition, SPX FLOW, Inc. was removed from the peer group as it had been acquired earlier in 2022. The market capitalization of the new peer group companies at the time of the study ranged from $978 million to $15.1 billion, with median market capitalization of $2.2 billion.

For executive compensation purposes, we believe a comparison of the relative size and complexity of a company is more important than a comparison of specific products manufactured. These are the types of companies with whom we compete for management personnel and therefore we believe it is appropriate for us to compare our compensation practices with theirs.

*Evaluation of incentives for excessive risk.* To discourage excessive risk, the Committee seeks to balance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· fixed and variable compensation,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· short-term and long-term compensation,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the performance measures used
to determine incentive compensation, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the level of in-service and
post-retirement benefits.

The Committee has specifically evaluated the company's compensation structure and practices and concluded that they do not establish incentives for unnecessary or excessive risk.

**2022 executive compensation decisions in detail**

***<u>Base salary</u>***

 ****

Base salaries give our officers a relatively secure level of compensation. Adjustments to base salary rates typically are made in February of each year and are effective on or about April 1, though mid-year adjustments may be made in the event of promotion or other special circumstance. Because Mr. Vaillancourt's annual base salary rate had been set in November 2021 in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, the Committee did not make any adjustment to his base salary rate in 2022. In 2022, the Committee adjusted the base salary rates of the other named executive officers, other than Dr. Sweeney, from the levels paid in 2021 by an average of 4.75%, with individual increases ranging from 4% to 5%. Due to the date of her separation of employment, Dr. Sweeney's base salary was not adjusted in 2022.

***<u>Annual performance incentive plan awards</u>***

 ****

The plan used by the Committee to make annual incentive compensation awards is designed to give executive officers a personal financial incentive to help us reach annual business goals. We refer to this plan as the annual performance plan. The Committee uses a similar plan to make annual incentive compensation awards to segment and divisional officers, with performance weighted equally among company-wide performance measures and segment or division-specific performance measures.

The amount of awards paid under our annual performance plan is based on performance relative to threshold, target and maximum performance levels set when the awards are made. When performance falls below the threshold, executives receive no payout. Payouts at a threshold level of performance are 50% of the target payout, payouts at a target level of performance are 100% of the target payout, and payouts at a maximum level of performance are at 200% of the target payout. Performance between any of the established levels yields a proportional payout. The Committee, after reviewing the company's performance in 2022, was permitted to adjust amounts payable under the awards in its discretion.

For 2022, the performance measures and weightings for the annual performance plan were:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted EBITDA | &nbsp;&nbsp;50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash Flow ROIC | &nbsp;&nbsp;50% |

---

*Why we use adjusted EBITDA and Cash Flow ROIC to measure performance*

The Committee selected these performance measures because they are the critical measures we use internally in managing our businesses and are measures of our profitability and the performance of our assets relative to our investment. The Committee believes that performance against these measures is a primary driver, over time, of the value of our company. The Committee believes that adjusted EBITDA (or, earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization expenses and selected items) and Cash Flow ROIC (or, cash flow return on operating capital) are the most appropriate measures of the annual operating performance of our businesses. These performance measures were selected also to focus operators on assets they can control—working capital and capital expenditures and earnings on those assets. The Committee selected Cash Flow ROIC because this measure includes an emphasis on cash flow and exercising capital discipline and working capital management, consistent with our corporate strategy to focus on improving cash flow of our existing businesses and reshaping our portfolio of businesses with a focus on owning businesses that are aligned with secular growth trends, enjoy high recurring revenue and margins, and have low capital intensity. In selecting these performance measures, setting the performance goals and awarding the corresponding incentive opportunities, the Committee took into account management's recommendations.

Performance goals for 2022

The following table presents the 2022 performance goals set for the annual performance plan. The table shows goals for threshold, target and maximum performance levels, actual 2022 performance and weighted payout percentages for each goal.

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Performance Levels** | **Performance Levels** | **Performance Levels** | **Actual Performance** | **Actual Performance** |
| **(dollars in millions)** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** | **Amount** | **Weighted Payout %** |
| Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> | $239.3 | $270.9 | $303.5 | $295.9 | 88.4% |
| Cash Flow ROIC<sup>(1)</sup> | 20.0% | 22.2% | 24.4% | 25.3% | 100.0% |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization expenses to earnings and further adding certain selected expenses that the Committee believes do not reflect normal operating conditions and subtracting certain selected income items that the Committee believes do not reflect normal operating conditions. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with adjusted EBITDA as presented by the company in its quarterly and annual earnings announcements, with additional adjustments to eliminate the impact of acquisitions and dispositions occurring during the year and certain other items and the translation impact of foreign currency exchange. The calculation of Cash Flow ROIC is based on adjusted operating income, which includes the same adjustments to EBITDA in determining adjusted EBITDA, as described above, and also reflects the impact of depreciation and amortization, income taxes, working capital changes and capital expenditures. Cash Flow ROIC is calculated by taking adjusted operating income multiplied by the difference between 1 minus the tax rate (expressed as a fraction) then adding depreciation and amortization expense and subtracting each of the amount of capital expenditures and the change in average net working capital for the trailing twelve months, with such amount then divided by the sum of average working capital, average gross property, plant and equipment and average gross software investment. The Committee believes adjusted EBITDA and Cash Flow ROIC are the most appropriate measures of the annual operating performance of our businesses and that performance on these measures, over time, are primary drivers of company value. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and Cash Flow ROIC are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

The plan payouts at the target performance level, as a percentage of base salary, and the actual payout as a percentage of salary for the named executive officers were as follows (due to the date of her separation of employment, Dr. Sweeney did not receive an annual incentive compensation award):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Target Payout, as<br> Percentage of Salary** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Actual Payout, as<br> Percentage of Salary** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Vaillancourt | &nbsp;&nbsp;100% | &nbsp;&nbsp;188% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Childress | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;70% | &nbsp;&nbsp;132% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;McLean | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;60% | &nbsp;&nbsp;113% |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Angelillo | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;35% | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;66% |

---

Target award levels set by the Committee for the named executive officers were based on historical award levels, a review of the Pearl Meyer market studies and management recommendations.

To set 2022 performance levels, the Committee reviewed a top-down estimate of our performance for the year based on management's expectations for each of our markets and a bottom-up review of each division's strategy and forecast for its performance. The Committee evaluated these internal estimates against external expectations for the performance of our markets and then set our goals for the year. For 2022, our adjusted EBITDA was $295.9 million (between the target and maximum levels adjusted for partial year ownership of GGB), and our Cash Flow ROIC was 25.3% (exceeding the maximum level adjusted for the GGB divestiture). Based on the payout levels established by the Committee for the annual performance plan, the named executive officers received payouts under that plan of 188% of the target level. We achieved adjusted EBITDA at a level between the target and maximum performance levels for that performance measure as a result of strong performance across most of our businesses, reflecting continued organic growth in our Advanced Surface Technologies segment, efficiency gains and organic growth in our Sealing Technologies segment, the benefits of prior-period portfolio reshaping, and responsive pricing action, which more than offset material cost increases. We achieved a Cash Flow ROIC that exceeded the maximum level for that performance measure. This performance resulted primarily from above-target earnings and secondarily from our focused and disciplined cash management throughout the year.

The dollar amount of these payouts under the annual performance plan to each of the named executive officers is included in column (g) (see footnote 3) of the summary compensation table.

***<u>Long-term compensation</u>***

 ****

Performance Share Awards made for 2020-2022 cycle

Long-term compensation grants to our executive officers provide them with personal financial motivation and a stake in our long-term success. The Committee believes these awards also help us retain executives who are committed to achieving our corporate goals. In 2020, the target level of our long-term compensation awards included Performance Share Awards for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2022. The Performance Share Awards were denominated as share units, with the amount earned being based on our total shareholder return compared to the same measure of the S&P SmallCap 600 Capital Goods (Industry Group) Index measured over a three-year performance cycle (rTSR). There are no payouts if our rTSR was below the 25th percentile, with payouts at 50% of the target payout if our rTSR was at the 25th percentile, 100% of the target payout if our rTSR was at the 50th percentile, and 200% of the target payout if our rTSR equaled or exceeded the 75th percentile, with payouts interpolated for rTSR levels between these points and payout capped at 100% of the target payout level if total shareholder return over the period was negative. The payout with respect to share units earned under a Performance Share Award was converted for cash payout based on the average fair market value per share of our common stock (i.e., the closing price per share on the NYSE) over the 20 business days preceding the date the Committee certified the achievement of the performance level with respect to the Performance Share Award.

The following table summarizes the terms of the Performance Share Awards, actual performance and the payout percentage:

The following table sets forth for the named executive officers the payout amount for the Performance Share Awards for the 2020-2022 performance period (Dr. Sweeney's payout was prorated for her period of service during the three-year performance period). The payout reflects both performance at the maximum level and the appreciation in the value of our common stock at the time of the payout.

**Awards granted in 2022**

 

As described in "—Executive summary—2022 executive compensation decisions at a glance," in February 2022, the Committee granted a mixture of time-vesting restricted stock units, stock options and Performance Share Awards, with the value of the awards generally allocated 40% to restricted stock units, 30% to stock options and 30% to Performance Share Awards. Because of the level of his responsibility, Mr. Angelillo's long-term compensation awards did not include stock options and were allocated 60% to restricted stock units and 40% to Performance Share Awards. To determine the target number of restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and the number of stock options, the Committee divided the applicable dollar amount by the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the award for the restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and by the Black-Scholes accounting value for the stock options. Due to the date of her termination of employment, Dr. Sweeney did not receive any long-term compensation awards in 2022.

The restricted stock unit awards generally vest in equal annual installments, subject to continued employment, over three years. In the event of an executive's retirement, the unvested restricted stock units scheduled to vest on the next succeeding anniversary of the date of the award vest pro rata based on the number of months the executive was employed in the 12-month period ending on such anniversary date compared to the full 12-month period. The stock options become exercisable in equal annual installments, subject to continued employment, over three years. The stock options have a term of 10 years from the date of grant with earlier termination in connection with a termination of employment, other than retirement (in which case the options continue to become exercisable based on the vesting schedule). The Performance Share Awards have terms consistent with the Performance Share Awards granted for the 2020-2022 performance cycle, but have a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2024.

\* As noted above, the Committee determined the target number of Performance Share Awards by dividing the applicable dollar amount by the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the award. In contrast, the amounts on the grant date fair value of the Performance Share Awards included in the summary compensation table on page 48 and the grants of plan- based awards table on page 50 are determined using financial accounting assumptions as required for disclosure under SEC rules, which differ from the value used by the Committee in allocating long-term compensation awards. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and of stock options granted in 2022, in each case as determined as required to be disclosed by SEC rules, are included in columns (e) and (f), respectively (see footnotes 1 and 2), of the summary compensation table on page 48 and in column (l) of the grants of plan-based awards table on page 50.

**Other compensation practices, policies and guidelines**

*Stock ownership and retention requirements*

Each executive officer is required by policy to hold shares of our common stock with a market value at least equal to a specific multiple of the officer's base salary. The multiple increases with the officer's level of responsibility. The minimum ownership required for our CEO is 5.0 times base salary; for all other NEOs other than Mr. Angelillo, the minimum is 2.5 times base salary; and for Mr. Angelillo, the minimum is 1.5 times base salary. Minimum levels for other officers range from 0.75 times to 1.5 times base salary. In light of this policy, the Committee believes it is appropriate to provide officers with an opportunity to earn shares as part of their long-term incentive awards.

Once named an executive officer, an individual has five years to reach the minimum stock ownership requirement for his or her position. An executive officer who fails to maintain the required level of ownership must retain 50% of any shares received under any company equity award plan until he or she satisfies the requirement. Restricted shares of our common stock and restricted stock units count toward minimum ownership only after the restrictions lapse.

We check for compliance with this policy in connection with our board of directors meeting held each February. As of the date of the Committee's February 2023 meeting, each of our current named executive officers who has held his current office for at least five years held at least the minimum number of shares.

*Clawback policy*

Our clawback policy allows the company to recover performance-based compensation from any executive officer who engages in fraud or willful misconduct that requires us to restate our financial results. Under the policy, we are entitled to recover cash awards made under our annual performance plan and cash or equity-based incentive awards made under our long-term incentive performance plan. If the Committee determines the compensation would have been lower if it had been based on the restated results, it will, to the extent permitted by law, seek to recover from the executive officer all performance-based compensation it deems appropriate after a review of all relevant facts and circumstances.

Anti-hedging policy

Our policies prohibit employees, officers and directors from using the company's securities in any hedging or monetization transactions. The prohibition includes but is not limited to, the use of financial instruments such as exchange funds, prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, puts, calls, collars, forwards and other derivative instruments, or through the establishment of a short position in the company's securities.

*Pledging policy*

Our policies prohibit executive officers from pledging EnPro shares that they own as collateral, including holding EnPro shares in a margin account.

*Perquisites*

In 2022, we provided only a minimal perquisite—an umbrella liability policy—to our current executive officers.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OTHER COMPENSATION PRACTICES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES <br>

*Other in-service benefits*

In 2022, our executive officers also received the following benefits, which we provide to all salaried employees as compensation for their services to us:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· group health, dental and life
insurance, part of the cost of which we pay;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· optional
 term life, accidental death and disability insurance and long-term disability insurance,
 the cost of which the employee pays; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· travel and accident insurance,
for which we pay.

We provide these insurance benefits because we believe they are standard parts of the compensation package available to salaried employees at companies of our size.

*Retirement and other post-termination compensation*

 

*401(k) plan.* Our executive officers participate in our 401(k) plan on the same basis as other salaried employees. Under this plan, a portion of each participant's compensation eligible for the plan (generally base-salary and annual incentive compensation) can be deferred into a 401(k) account, up to the annual limit set by the IRS. Each participant directs investments in the account. We match 100% of deferrals under this plan (other than catch-up contributions) up to the first 6% of the aggregate of annual salary and annual incentive compensation contributed by the participant. Our matching contributions are fully vested. For salaried employees hired before August 1, 2016 who are not eligible to accrue benefits under the defined benefit plan because they were hired after 2006, we make a contribution equal to 2% of salary and annual incentive compensation to the employee's account in our 401(k) plan after the initial employment period for eligibility to participate in that plan is satisfied, subject to limits on permitted 401(k) contributions. Each of the NEOs received such contributions for 2022, other than Mr. Angelillo, who was hired after August 1, 2016 and therefore is not eligible to receive the additional 2% contribution. Any amount exceeding permitted 401(k) contributions is made to the deferred compensation plan.

*Deferred compensation and management stock plans.* Our non-qualified, deferred compensation plan permits our executive officers to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis beyond what is permitted under the 401(k) plan because of either federal tax code limits or the design of the 401(k) plan. In addition, this plan allows for matching contributions that cannot be made in the 401(k) plan because of federal tax code limits. These contributions are made at the same rate and are subject to the same aggregate limit as the 401(k) plan. The Committee believes this type of additional deferral and matching opportunity is an appropriate and customary component of a competitive compensation package for public company executive officers.

Our management stock purchase deferral plan permitted officers and other senior personnel to defer, for five years or more, up to 50% of annual incentive compensation. Deferred amounts were credited to these individual's accounts based on the value of our common stock, with the payout at the end of the deferral period being based on the then-value of our common stock. Participants were eligible to receive awards of restricted stock units equal to 25% of the amount of compensation deferred. We closed this plan to further participation after the deferrals of 2016 annual incentive compensation under the plan.

*Pension and defined benefit restoration plans.* In 2006, we closed our defined benefit pension plan to new participants and froze the benefits of employees who had not reached 40 years of age. Employees who were age 40 or older were eligible to continue to accrue benefits under the defined benefit plan, which provides them a retirement benefit based on their years of service with the company and their final average compensation (base salary plus annual incentive compensation). Benefit accrual under this plan was frozen on December 31, 2020. Of the named executive officers, only Mr. Childress has accrued benefits under the defined benefit pension plan. The other NEOs were hired after 2006.

We also provide our executive officers and others who participate in the defined benefit pension plan with a defined benefit restoration plan. The restoration plan gives them the benefits they would have received under our pension plan were it not for limitations under the pension plan. The federal tax code caps both the amount of annual compensation that the pension plan can take into account and the amount of annual benefits that the pension plan can provide. We include these caps in our pension plan in order to maintain its tax-qualified status. In addition, the pension plan does not take into account amounts deferred under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The defined benefit restoration plan permits participants to receive retirement pension benefits that take into account their full salaries and annual incentive compensation. Benefit accrual under this plan was frozen on December 31, 2020. Of the named executive officers, only Mr. Childress participates in the defined benefit restoration plan.

*Management continuity agreements.* In a situation involving a change in control of our company, our executive management would face a far greater risk of termination than other salaried employees. To attract qualified executives who might find other job opportunities with less risk to continued employment, we have entered into a management continuity agreement with each of our executive officers and division presidents, other than Mr. Angelillo. These agreements incentivize our executives to stay with us in the event of an actual or potential change in control and are an important part of a competitive executive compensation package. Particular terms in these agreements, including the applicable continuation period and provisions increasing the amount payable to account for excise taxes for agreements entered into prior to 2009, reflect our subjective judgment regarding the terms offered in comparable agreements by peer companies and our desire to offer competitive arrangements for executive employment.

**2022** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**46**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OTHER COMPENSATION PRACTICES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES <br>

Each continuity agreement provides for continued employment of the individual for a two-year period after a change in control, with the same responsibilities and authorities and generally the same benefits and compensation as the individual had immediately prior to the change in control (including average annual increases). Under the agreements, the executive would be entitled to certain payments and other benefits if, during the continued employment period, we or our successor were to terminate the individual's employment for reasons other than "cause," or the individual voluntarily terminated his or her employment for a "good reason." These terms are defined in the agreements.

For an executive to receive payments and benefits under these agreements, two events, or triggers, must occur. First, there must be a change in control of the company, and second, the executive's employment must be terminated, either by the company, other than for "cause", or by the executive for "good reason." The second trigger incentivizes the executive to stay with the company and perform at a high level in the event of a change in control.

For more information about these payments and other benefits, see "Executive compensation—Potential payments upon termination or change in control." The Committee has reviewed the amounts that are potentially payable under these agreements and believes that they are reasonable.

*Severance policy.* Our severance policies provide benefits to all full-time employees at our corporate office, including our executive officers. Under these policies, an executive officer whom we terminate without cause is entitled to continue receiving his or her base salary for a specific period. The terminated officer is also entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the annual incentive compensation payable for the year in which the officer is terminated, along with a pro rata payout of all LTIP awards, including Performance Share Awards, based on the number of months the officer was employed in each performance cycle.

The period for which an executive officer is entitled to continue receiving his or her base salary depends on the officer's level of responsibility. The CEO is entitled to a period of 24 months. The other NEOs are entitled to 12 months, except Mr. Angelillo who is entitled to six months. An executive officer who is entitled to receive payments under the change-in-control continuity agreements described above is not entitled to severance benefits.

We believe that our severance policies are consistent with compensation packages for executive officers at other companies similar to ours and therefore is an important component of a competitive compensation package.

*Tax deductibility considerations*

 

The Committee has continued to use performance-based compensation arrangements for awards to the NEOs even though such incentive compensation is no longer excepted from the limitation on deductibility of executive compensation for federal income tax purposes.

<sup>(1)</sup> The annual long-term compensation awards made in 2022 to the NEOs were, in general, subdivided as follows: 30% of the target long-term compensation in Performance Share Awards (LTIP awards denominated in share units and payable in cash), 30% in an award of stock options becoming exercisable over three years and 40% in an award of time-vested restricted stock units. Mr. Angelillo's long-term compensation awards in 2022 were allocated 40% of the target long-term compensation in Performance Share Awards and 60% in an award of time-vested restricted stock units. To determine the target number of restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and the number of stock options, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee divided the applicable dollar amount by the average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the award for the restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards and by the

Executive compensation SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE <br>

Black-Scholes accounting value for the stock options. The Performance Share Awards and awards of restricted stock units are reflected in this column. In prior-years' proxy statements, Performance Share Awards were presented as non-equity incentive compensation awards. The presentation of Performance Share Awards granted in 2020 and 2021 has been revised to conform to the current-period presentation. These Performance Share Awards and restricted stock units awards are reported at a value, developed solely for purposes of disclosure in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, equal to the "grant date fair value" thereof under FASB ASC Topic 718 for financial reporting purposes, except that the reported value does not reflect any adjustments for risk of forfeiture. The only assumption we used in determining the amounts for the restricted stock awards was the grant date share price, which in each case was the closing price of our common stock on the day prior to the grant date. The restricted stock units granted in 2022 are scheduled to vest in equal annual increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant subject to the executive's continued employment. The restricted stock units would vest earlier in the event of death, disability or retirement. For Performance Share Awards, we assumed the amount based on the target level of performance, with the grant date fair value determined by a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which differs from the method used by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee described above. Assuming maximum payouts under the Performance Share Awards, which are 200% of the target levels, the amounts reported above for the restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards for 2022 would be as follows: Mr. Vaillancourt, $3,785,538; Mr. Childress, $1,212,178; Mr. McLean, $939,822; Mr. Bower, $293,277; and Mr. Angelillo, $202,951. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of the assumptions made in determining the grant date fair values in this column. The reported amounts for any award do not reflect any adjustments for restrictions on transferability.

<sup>(2)</sup> The stock options awarded in 2022 vest and become exercisable, subject to continued employment, in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the grant of the award. Each of these stock option awards is reported at a value, developed solely for purposes of disclosure in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, equal to the "grant date fair value" thereof under FASB ASC Topic 718 for financial reporting purposes, except that the reported value does not reflect any adjustments for risk of forfeiture. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of the assumptions made in determining the grant date fair value in this column. The reported amount does not reflect any adjustment for restrictions on transferability.

<sup>(3)</sup> For 2022, these amounts consist of amounts earned under our annual performance plan. For more information about payouts under our annual performance plan, see the section below entitled "—Grants of Plan-Based Awards—Annual Performance Plan Awards."

<sup>(4)</sup> For 2022, the decrease in actuarial present value for Mr. Childress under the defined benefit pension plan was $170,257 and under the defined benefit restoration plan was $320,752, for an aggregate decrease of $491,009. Because this amount is an aggregate decrease, it is reported in the table as $0.

\*\*\* Mr. Vaillancourt received a $10,000 payment for relocation expenses in 2022 in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer and relocation to the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Pursuant to an agreement entered into with Dr. Sweeney in connection with her separation of service, she received the following for 2022: payment equal to 12 months of base salary ($370600); a prorated annual bonus based on the level of achievement of the company's performance in 2022 ($44309); COBRA premium payments ($38000); payment of $40,000 in lieu of outplacement services; and a lump sum payment of $233,000, subject to withholding for taxes, in return for her agreement to remain available for special projects requested by our Chief Executive Officer.

<sup>(6)</sup> In connection with a management restructuring, on February 4, 2022, Dr. Sweeney ceased her service as Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer due to the elimination of her position. On March 2, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Dr. Sweeney that provided that, in connection with her separation of service, (i) she was eligible to receive the severance benefits applicable upon a "qualifying termination" under our senior officer severance plan (generally, payment equal to 12 months of base salary, a prorated annual bonus based on the level of achievement of the company's performance in 2022, prorated vesting of outstanding performance-based long-term incentive awards based on the level of achievement of the company's performance in the applicable three-year performance period, since she qualified for retirement, continued vesting of unvested stock options and the right to exercise vested stock options (including 2,083 stock options scheduled to vest on February 27, 2022) for one year after February 4, 2022, COBRA premium payments and payment of $40,000 in lieu of outplacement services), (ii) a lump sum payment of $233,000, subject to withholding for taxes, in return for her agreement to remain available for special projects requested by our Chief Executive Officer and to cooperate in the transition of her duties, and, (iii) due to her separation qualifying as a retirement, her outstanding restricted stock unit awards vesting on a prorated basis through her separation date as specified in the agreement. These entitlements were conditioned on, among other things, Dr. Sweeney's execution and nonrevocation of a release of claims and compliance with the terms of the agreement and specified provisions of her restrictive covenant agreement with the company, with the term of the employee non-solicitation covenant included in that agreement being extended by six months for a total of 18 months following her separation.

<sup>(1)</sup> Date of approval of the award by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee authorized the award of stock options to the named executive officers at its meeting on February 15, 2022, but deferred the grant of the stock options until the second trading day after the company's public announcement of our 2021 financial results, with the per share exercise price being set at the closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on that second trading day, which was February 24, 2022.

<sup>(2)</sup> The amounts in this column reflect the grant date fair value under FASB ASC Topic 718 of respective awards in 2022 of stock options, restricted stock units and Performance Share Awards.

<sup>(3)</sup> For 2022 awards under our annual performance incentive plans, payouts are based on relevant performance results against specified threshold, target and maximum performance levels. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee administers the annual performance plans to provide for payouts at a threshold level of performance at 50% of the target payout, payouts at a target level of performance at 100% of the target payout, and payouts at a maximum level of performance at 200% of the target payout. Performance between any of the established levels yields a proportional payout.

<sup>(4)</sup> The Performance Share Awards granted under the LTIP are denominated as share units, but are paid in cash. Payouts are based on our rTSR over the three-year performance cycle, with no payouts if our rTSR is below the 25th percentile, payouts at 50% of the target payout if our rTSR is at the 25th percentile, 100% of the target payout if our rTSR is at the 50th percentile, and 200% of the target payout if our rTSR equals or exceeds the 75th percentile, with payouts interpolated for rTSR levels between these points and payouts capped at 100% of the target payout level if total shareholder return over the period is negative. The performance period is the three-year period ending December 31, 2024. For payout, the share units earned under a Performance Share Award are to be converted to cash based on the average fair market value per share of our common stock over the 20 business days preceding the date the Compensation and Human Resources Committee certifies the achievement of the performance level with respect to the Performance Share Award.

Executive compensation GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS <br>

*Annual performance plan awards*

 

In February 2022, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee granted each named executive officer an opportunity for an award in 2022 under our annual incentive compensation plan. Information about these award opportunities is reported in the Annual Plan line beside each officer's name in the foregoing table. The 2022 payout amounts are included in column (g) of the summary compensation table. The annual incentive compensation plans and these awards are described in "Compensation discussion and analysis—2022 executive compensation decisions in detail—Annual performance incentive plan awards."

*Performance Share Awards*

 

Our annual long-term incentive compensation awards made in 2022 were granted as Performance Share Awards—that is, LTIP awards denominated as performance share units and payable in cash. The amount earned with respect to a Performance Share Award is based on our total shareholder return compared to the same measure of the S&P SmallCap 600 Capital Goods (Industry Group) Index measured over a three-year performance cycle (rTSR). There are no payouts if our rTSR is below the 25th percentile, with payouts at 50% of the target payout if our rTSR is at the 25th percentile, 100% of the target payout if our rTSR is at the 50th percentile, and 200% of the target payout if our rTSR equals or exceeds the 75th percentile, with payouts interpolated for rTSR levels between these points and payout capped at 100% of the target payout level if total shareholder return over the period is negative. For payout, the share units earned under a Performance Share Award are to be converted to cash based on the average fair market value per share of our common stock over the 20 business days preceding the date the Compensation and Human Resources Committee certifies the achievement of the performance level with respect to the Performance Share Award. If our common stock continues to be listed on the NYSE, the fair market value of our common stock on any business day would be the closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on that day. The performance period for the awards is the three-year period ending December 31, 2024. Recipients of Performance Share Awards granted in 2022 are not entitled to receive dividends (if dividends are paid) with respect to the share units underlying the awards.

The Performance Share Awards granted in 2022 are forfeited in the event the recipient ceases to be employed prior to December 31, 2024 for any reason other than death, disability, retirement, involuntary termination other than for cause or in connection with a change in control. In the event of the recipient's death, disability, retirement or involuntary termination other than for cause, the Performance Share Awards are to be paid out at the end of the performance period based on the actual performance level achieved, with the amount prorated based on the proportion of the performance period that the recipient was employed period. If, upon a "change in control" as defined in the Equity Plan, a Performance Share Award is not assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in the change in control transaction, or if the award is so assumed, converted or replaced and within two years after the date of a change in control the executive's employment is terminated, either by the company other than for "cause" or by the executive for "good reason," as such terms are defined in the award agreement for the Performance Share Award, then the target payout opportunities attainable under the award are deemed to have been earned based upon the greater of assumed achievement at the target level or the actual level of achievement of the performance goals against target as of the fiscal quarter end preceding the change in control event. The Performance Share Awards made to the NEOs in 2022 are described in "Compensation discussion and analysis—Executive summary—2022 executive compensation decisions at a glance" and "Compensation discussion and analysis—2022 executive compensation decisions in detail—Long-term compensation."

*Restricted stock unit awards*

 

All 2022 awards of restricted stock units to the named executive officers were made under the Equity Plan. The restricted stock units vest, subject to continued employment, in equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the award. The restricted stock units fully vest earlier than the scheduled vesting date in the event of death or disability. In the event of an executive's retirement, the unvested restricted stock units scheduled to vest on the next succeeding anniversary of the date of the award vest pro rata based on the number of months the executive was employed in the 12-month period ending on such anniversary date compared to the full 12-month period. The restricted stock units would vest upon a change in control of the company, except that, if the resulting entity in the change in control assumes the awards, the awards will vest early in connection with a change in control only if within two years after the change in control the employee is terminated without "cause" or the employee resigns for "good reason," as such terms are defined in the restricted stock unit awards. Recipients of restricted stock units are not entitled to receive dividends (if dividends are paid) before the units vest. However, when the units vest, the recipient is entitled to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock unit vesting plus a cash payment equal to the aggregate amount of any cash dividends paid on the shares from the date of the award through the date the units vest. Recipients have no right to vote any restricted stock units on any matter presented to a vote of the company's shareholders.

*Stock options*

 

The stock options awarded in 2022 become exercisable, subject to continued employment, in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. To the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code, the stock options are intended to qualify as incentive stock options. The stock options expire if not exercised by the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, with earlier termination in connection with a termination of employment, other than retirement (in which case the options continue to become exercisable based on the vesting schedule). The stock options would vest upon a change in control of the company, except that, if the resulting entity in the change in control assumes, converts or replaces the awards, the awards will vest early in connection with a change in control only if within two years after the change in control the executive's employment is terminated without "cause" or the executive resigns for "good reason," as such terms are defined in the stock option award agreements. In addition, upon a change in control the stock options may be cancelled in exchange for a payment based on the in-the-money value of the stock option as of the occurrence of the change in control.

<sup>(1)</sup> Value realized for stock options and restricted stock units is based on the closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on the day the stock option was exercised or the restricted stock unit award vested, as applicable, or, if such day was not a trading day, on the immediately preceding trading day. For Performance Share Awards, the value realized is based on the average closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE over the 20 business days preceding the date the Compensation and Human Resources Committee certified the achievement of the performance level with respect to the Performance Share Award, which is the basis on which the share units under the Performance Share Awards are converted to cash for payment of such awards.

<sup>(2)</sup> Number of shares acquired upon vesting includes share units under Performance Share Awards that were settled in cash.

**Pension benefits**

The following table shows information about the named executive officers' accumulated benefits under our defined benefit pension plans. Mr. Childress is the only named executive officer who participates in our defined benefit pension plans. The information includes the present value of his accumulated benefit under each plan. The values are lump sums of the annual benefit earned as of December 31, 2022. The sums would be payable under each plan at the officer's retirement, assuming he retired at the earliest age at which his benefits would not be reduced. The present value of accumulated benefit is an estimate only. Mr. Childress's actual benefit under these plans will depend on his compensation at retirement or termination, and on other data used in the benefit calculations. Further accrual of service under the defined benefit pension plans was frozen effective on December 31, 2020. The assumptions used to estimate these benefits are the same as those assumptions used in Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2022 annual report.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**54**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PENSION BENEFITS <br>

We currently maintain two defined benefit plans. One, which we refer to as our pension plan, is a broad-based plan that provides funded, tax-qualified benefits up to the limits on compensation and benefits under the Internal Revenue Code. The other provides unfunded, non-qualified benefits in excess of the limits that apply to the pension plan. We call this one the restoration plan.

*Pension plan*

 

Benefits under our pension plan are paid monthly as a life annuity. Benefit amounts for salaried employees depend on a participant's pay and credited service with our company. If a participant chooses to receive payments before age 62, benefits accrued due to service with the company through December 31, 2006 will be reduced by 4% per year of age below age 62. Payments of these benefits will not be reduced if the participant waits until after age 62. If a participant chooses to receive payments before age 65, benefits accrued due to service after December 31, 2006 will be reduced by 5% per year of age below age 65.

A salaried participant's benefit is determined by the greater of the participant's average compensation over the final 60 months of employment or the highest consecutive 60 months of the participant's compensation during the final 120 months of the participant's employment. For purposes of the plan, "compensation" means base pay plus annual incentive plan awards. However, compensation for the pension plan is limited under the federal tax code. In addition, benefits provided under the pension plan may not exceed a benefit limit under the federal tax code.

In connection with our spin-out from Goodrich Corporation in 2002, we established the pension plan to provide tax-qualified retirement benefits for most of our full-time employees. In 2006, we began to phase out participation in this plan for salaried employees, replacing it with an additional benefit under our 401(k) plan. The pension plan was closed to new participants at that time. Salaried employees who were hired prior to January 1, 2006 and who were at least age 40 on December 31, 2006 could choose either to accept the additional benefit under our 401(k) plan or continue to accrue benefits under the pension plan. Of the named executive officers, only Mr. Childress participated in the pension plan and he elected to accrue benefits under the pension plan rather than to receive the additional benefit under our 401(k) plan. Benefit accrual under this plan was frozen on December 31, 2020. Mr. Childress became eligible to receive a contribution equal to 2% of salary and annual incentive compensation to his account in our 401(k) plan commencing in 2021.

As required by federal pension laws, benefits under the pension plan are funded by assets held in a tax-exempt trust.

*Restoration plan*

 

The restoration plan is designed to create a benefit equal to what a participant would receive under the pension plan if the federal tax code compensation and benefit limits did not exist. To achieve this total, the restoration plan pays an amount additional to the amount provided under the pension plan. The restoration plan also provides benefits on compensation that is deferred and not taken into account under the pension plan. Compensation is defined the same way as in the pension plan, except that it includes compensation deferred under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Vested benefits are generally payable in an actuarially equivalent single cash payment following termination of employment. Benefit accrual under this plan was frozen on December 31, 2020. Of the named executive officers, only Mr. Childress has participated in this plan.

Because this is a non-qualified plan, benefits are unsecured, and a participant's claim for benefits under the plan is no greater than the claim of a general creditor.

**Non-qualified deferred compensation**

Our deferred compensation plan allows our executive officers to defer compensation each year beyond the limits that apply to deferrals under our tax-qualified 401(k) plan for salaried employees. We also make contributions to the officers' plan accounts to match some of their contributions. In addition, to the extent that our planned contribution to an executive officer's account in our 401(k) plan equal to 2% of salary and annual incentive compensation exceeds the amount permitted for 401(k) contributions, we contribute the excess amount to the executive officer's account in the deferred compensation plan.

Pursuant to our management stock purchase deferral plan, officers and other senior personnel were permitted to defer up to 50% of annual incentive compensation for five years or more. The deferred amounts were credited as phantom shares based on the value of our common stock. Amounts for cash dividends are accrued as dividends are paid on our common stock, with interest at an annual compound rate of 2% on the cash dividend amounts. Participants in the management stock purchase deferral plan were eligible to receive restricted stock units equal to 25% of the amount deferred. The restricted stock units have a three-year vesting period and are payable in shares of common stock at the same time the related annual incentive deferrals are payable. We closed this plan to further participation after the deferrals of 2016 annual incentive compensation.

<sup>(1)</sup> Based on the closing price for our common stock on the NYSE of $108.69 on December 30, 2022, the last trading day of 2022.

<sup>(2)</sup> Such amounts reflect increases in the value of the accounts from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

Under the deferred compensation plan, each officer can defer up to 25% of his or her salary each year and up to 50% of his or her annual incentive plan compensation and any cash LTIP payout. We match dollar for dollar the first 6% of salary and annual incentive plan compensation an officer defers under the plan, provided that the officer receives the maximum match permitted under our 401(k) plan. The same matching contribution rate applies under our 401(k) plan. NEOs hired after our pension plan was closed to new participants in 2006 receive an additional contribution from the company equal to 2% of the amount of the officer's salary and annual incentive compensation that exceeds the IRS compensation limit for the year.

The executive officers who participate in the deferred compensation plan direct their investments. Investment options are the same as those available under the 401(k) plan (excluding our common stock). All participants' accounts are credited with their actual investment earnings or losses. We do not guarantee any investment return on the accounts.

When a participant is first eligible for the deferred compensation plan, he or she may elect to receive payment of their account balances upon leaving the company in one of the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a
 single lump sum cash payment as soon as practicable after termination (generally within
 75 days);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a
 single lump sum cash payment in a year specified by the participant (but not later than
 the year in which the participant attains age 65);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· either
 five or ten annual installments with the first installment paid as soon as practicable
 after termination; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· either
 five or ten annual installments with the first installment paid in a year specified by
 the participant (but not later than the year in which the participant attains age 65).

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**56**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION <br>

A participating employee who does not elect a method of payment will be paid a single lump sum in cash as soon as practicable after termination of the employee's service (generally within 75 days but subject to a delay of up to six months if required by certain federal tax rules). A payment election can be changed only in accordance with federal tax laws that apply to non-qualified plans. In limited circumstances, withdrawals due to an unforeseeable emergency are permitted.

Amounts deferred under the management stock purchase deferral plan are credited to an account denominated in stock units. The number of units is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of deferral. Prior to July 2016, additional stock units were credited to deferral accounts for any cash dividends paid on our common stock. The additional units were based on the number of stock units in the participating employee's account and will be paid in whole and fractional units. In July 2016, the plan was amended to provide that the deferral accounts are credited in cash for any cash dividends paid thereafter during the deferral period. Payments of amounts under the management stock purchase deferral plan are based on the fair market value of our common stock at the time of payment and are to be made in shares of common stock or, at the company's election, in cash. At the election of the participating employee, payments can be made either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· upon
the termination of the employee's service or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· upon
 the earlier of the employee's termination date or a date specified by the employee
 at the time the deferral is elected (the date specified must be within the fifth calendar
 following the year of deferral or later).

The management stock purchase deferral plan permits participants to adjust the deferral periods they elect, subject to specified restrictions, and to receive early payments of deferred amounts in the event of unforeseen emergencies. Early payments are subject to the conditions specified in the management stock purchase deferral plan. A six-month delay applies to payments to certain participants upon termination of service.

Benefits under the deferred compensation plan and the management stock purchase deferral plan are unsecured. This means that a participant's claim for benefits is no greater than the claim of a general creditor.

**Potential payments upon termination or change in control**

*Double-trigger management continuity agreements*

 

We have management continuity agreements with our current executive officers and divisional presidents, other than Mr. Angelillo, designed to encourage them to carry out their duties in the event of a change in control of our company. The management continuity agreements are not ordinary employment agreements. They do not provide any assurance of continued employment, or any severance beyond what we provide under the terms of our severance policy, unless there is a change in control of our company.

Under these agreements, any of the following events would be a "change in control":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any
 person, entity or group becoming the beneficial owner of 20% or more of our common stock,
 or of the combined voting power of our securities (subject to certain exceptions);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a
change in the majority of our directors that our directors have not approved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a
 corporate transaction, such as a merger, after which our existing shareholders do not
 retain more than 70% of the outstanding common stock and combined voting power of the
 surviving entity in substantially the same proportions as their prior ownership; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our
 liquidation or dissolution, or the sale of substantially all of our assets (other than
 to a company in which our existing shareholders own more than 70% of the outstanding
 common stock and combined voting power in substantially the same proportions as their
 holdings of our securities prior to the sale).

For the named executive officers, the continuity agreement generally provides for the executive's employment to continue, in the same position and with the same responsibilities and authority, for two years following the change in control. It also provides for the executive to maintain the same benefits and level of compensation, including average annual increases, during that period.

If we or our successor terminate an executive's employment during his or her continuation period, other than for "cause," or he or she voluntarily terminates his or her employment for a "good reason" (in each case as defined in the agreement), the executive would be entitled to the following payments and benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
lump sum cash payment of his or her annual base salary for two years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
lump sum cash payment of his or her pro rata target annual incentive plan compensation for the year of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
 lump-sum cash payment equal to the market value (as defined in the agreement) of each
 outstanding LTIP award payable in stock. The number of shares would be based on a specified
 mix of actual and targeted performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
 lump-sum cash payment intended to approximate continuation of annual incentive plan compensation
 for the rest of the payment period. This payment will be equal to the number of years
 in the individual's payment period, multiplied by the greatest of (1) his or her
 most recent annual incentive plan payout, (2) his or her target annual incentive plan
 compensation for the year of termination, or (3) his or her target annual incentive plan
 compensation for the year in which the change in control occurs.

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**57**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
 lump-sum cash payment intended to approximate the value of foregone stock-based LTIP
 awards for the rest of the payment period (based on the market value of our common stock,
 as defined in the agreement). This payment will be equal to a number specified for each
 individual multiplied by the greatest of (1) 1/12 of the number of shares under an LTIP
 award payable in stock actually paid to the executive for the most recently completed
 performance cycle, (2) 1/12 of the target number of the stock LTIP award granted to the
 individual for the most recent cycle that began before the termination of employment
 and (3) 1/12 of the target number of the stock LTIP award granted to the individual for
 the most recent cycle that began before the change in control. The specified number for
 the named executive officers is 16.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If
 the executive is under age 55, or over age 55 and not eligible to retire, a lump sum
 payment equal to the present value of the health and welfare plans and programs and all
 fringe benefit programs, perquisites and similar arrangements the
executive would be entitled to during his or her payment period, as well as the ability to exercise any vested options during
his or her payment period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If
 the executive is at least age 55 and is eligible to retire, a lump sum payment equal
 to the present value of the health and welfare plans and programs to which the executive
 would be entitled under the company's general retirement policies if the executive
 retired, and all fringe benefit programs, perquisites and similar arrangements the executive
 would be entitled to during his or her payment period, as well as the ability to exercise
 any vested options during his or her payment period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· For
 Mr. Childress (who entered into a continuity agreement in 2006), a tax gross-up payment
 for any excise tax due under the federal tax code as a result of these payments and benefits.
 We have not included a provision for such a payment in any other continuity agreement
 that remains in force. The agreements with Mr. Vaillancourt, Mr. McLean and Mr. Bower
 include provisions to scale back payments under the agreement in the event that the payments
 otherwise would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal
 Revenue Code and such reduction would result in the executive retaining a larger amount
 on an after-tax basis.

In addition, each continuity agreement provides for reimbursement of attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the executive to successfully, in whole or in part, enforce the terms of the agreement with us.

Because the executive must leave the company before becoming entitled to these payments and benefits, the agreement has a "double trigger"—the first trigger is the change in control, and the second trigger is the termination, either by the company other than for "cause" or by the executive for "good reason."

The following table estimates the total amounts we would owe under these agreements to the current named executive officers if there had been a change in control, and they had been terminated, on December 31, 2022. The table also includes the value at that date of restricted stock units and stock options that would vest under those circumstances. See "—Restricted stock unit and stock option awards." The table does not include a pro rata annual incentive plan compensation for the year of termination because even without these agreements, these officers would be entitled to their full 2022 annual incentive plan compensation if they had been terminated without cause on December 31, 2022. Because we have not entered into a management continuity agreement with Mr. Angelillo, if there had been a change in control, and he had been terminated, on December 31, 2022 he would be entitled to receive the severance benefits under our severance policies described below in the amounts included in the severance benefits table below.

*LTIP awards*

 

Under agreements for LTIP awards outstanding at December 31, 2022, which consisted only of Performance Share Awards, no payout is triggered by a "change in control" if the award is assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in the "change in control." However, if upon a "change in control" the award is not so assumed, converted or replaced, or if the award is assumed, converted or replaced and within two years after the date of a "change in control" the executive's employment is terminated, either by the company other than for "cause" or by the executive for "good reason," then the target payout opportunities attainable under the award are deemed to have been earned based upon the greater of assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at their "target" level or the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of the fiscal quarter end preceding the "change in control." In such event, the award, as adjusted for such deemed performance, becomes vested in full and is to be paid as soon as administratively practicable. The amount included in the "Existing LTIP Awards" column of the foregoing table reflects such adjusted amount for each of the named executive officers as if either triggering event had occurred on December 31, 2022. For these awards, the amount is based on the $108.69 per share closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 30, 2022, the last trading day of 2022.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL <br>

*Restricted stock unit and stock option awards*

Upon a change in control, if the resulting entity in the "change in control" assumes, converts or replaces an outstanding restricted stock award or stock option award, the award will vest early in connection with the "change in control" only if within two years thereafter the employee is terminated without "cause" or the employee resigns for "good reason," as such terms are defined in the applicable award agreements. Upon a change in control, if the resulting entity in the "change in control" does not assume, convert or replace an outstanding restricted stock award or stock option award, the award will vest early in full upon the "change in control" The following table sets forth the value at December 31, 2022 of restricted stock unit awards and stock option awards granted to the named executive officers who are employees as of the date of this proxy statement that would have vested if a change in control had occurred on December 31, 2022 and the resulting entity did not assume these outstanding awards. The value is based on the $108.69 per share closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 30, 2022, the last trading day of 2022.

*Severance benefits*

Our written policies provide severance benefits to senior officers, including the named executive officers who are employees as of the date of this proxy statement. Under these policies, each covered employee whom we terminate without cause is entitled to receive his or her base salary for a specified period of time, which we refer to as the "severance period." However, if an officer's total severance pay exceeds two times the maximum amount eligible for a qualified retirement plan under the federal tax code, it will be paid to the officer in a lump sum no later than March 15 of the year following termination of the officer's employment. Each employee is also entitled to continue receiving certain benefits during his or her severance period, including a pro rata payment of any annual incentive plan compensation and outstanding LTIP awards through the date of termination, and employees of retirement age are entitled to pro rata vesting of restricted stock units upon termination of employment. The length of the severance period increases with the employee's level of responsibility. Our executive officers generally receive the same severance benefits as all of our other full-time corporate office employees, except that our executive officers' severance periods are longer. The severance period for our named executive officers who are employees as of the date of this proxy statement is 12 months, except for Mr. Vaillancourt for whom the severance period is 24 months and Mr. Angelillo for whom the severance period is six months.

Our severance policies are superseded by the management continuity agreements described above in the event of any termination following a change in control.

The following table estimates the severance benefits we would owe under these policies to our named executive officers if they had been terminated on December 31, 2022 (assuming no prior change in control). The table does not include pro rata annual performance plan compensation for the year of termination because even without this severance policy, the officers would be entitled to their full 2022 annual performance plan compensation if they were terminated without cause on December 31, 2022.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Payment versus performance <br>

**Payment versus performance**

An SEC rule adopted in 2022 requires that we include in the proxy statement disclosure of the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance over the past three fiscal years, with future annual meeting proxy statements expanding the period by an additional year until the period addressed by the disclosure is five years. As specified by the SEC rule, the following table presents for each of the past three fiscal years:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 total compensation of each individual serving as principal executive officer ("PEO")
 of EnPro as calculated in accordance with the presentation of Total compensation in the
 summary compensation table, appearing on page 48, with separate columns for each individual
 who served as PEO during this period (Marvin A. Riley, identified as First PEO in the
 table and elsewhere in this section of the proxy statement, served as EnPro's principal
 executive officer until August 2, 2021, and Mr. Vaillancourt, identified as Second PEO
 in the table and elsewhere in this section of the proxy statement, has served as our
 principal executive officer since then);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 amount of "Compensation Actually Paid" as determined in accordance with the
 SEC rule for each PEO, with a description and quantification of the adjustments from
 total compensation as reported in accordance with the presentation of such amounts required
 for the summary compensation table to derive Compensation Actually Paid set forth in
 footnote (3) to the table;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 average total compensation, as calculated in accordance with the presentation of total
 compensation in the summary compensation table, of the individuals, other than the PEO,
 listed as named executive officers in our proxy statement for the annual meeting held
 in the year following each such year (the "Non-PEO NEOs"), with a footnote
 to the table identifying the individuals comprising the Non-PEO NEOs in each year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 average amount of "Compensation Actually Paid" as determined in accordance
 with the SEC rule for the Non-PEO NEOs, with a description and quantification of the
 adjustments from total compensation as reported in accordance with the presentation of
 such amounts required for the summary compensation table to derive Compensation Actually
 Paid set forth in footnote (3) to the table;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· EnPro's
 cumulative total shareholder return ("TSR") for the period beginning on the
 last trading day of the year preceding the earliest year presented in the table and ending
 the last trading day of the year presented in the table (for example, for 2021, the period
 from December 31, 2019 through December 31, 2021), assuming the investment of $100 in
 EnPro common stock on the first day of such period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 cumulative TSR for each such period of the peer group of companies identified in a footnote
 to the table calculated on the same basis as EnPro's TSR, but assuming an investment
 on the first day of such period of $100 in the common stock of such companies, allocated
 among such companies based on their respective market capitalization at December 31,
 2019;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 net income of EnPro and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as presented in our
 consolidated statement of operations included in the accompanying annual report, which
 includes the results of discontinued operations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· adjusted
 EBITDA, as determined in accordance with our practices under our annual performance plan—a
 measure selected by us for presentation in this table as the most important financial
 performance measure linking Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs for the most recent
 fiscal year to company performance.

The table presents Compensation Actually Paid in accordance with the requirements of the SEC rule. As identified in the footnotes to the table, the determination of Compensation Actually Paid includes adjustments to reflect, among other things, period-to- period changes in the value of unvested equity awards and the Performance Share Awards. Accordingly, such amounts do not reflect the value of compensation actually delivered to, or received by the PEOs or the Non-PEO NEOs, in the period reported in the table, as the amount of actual compensation received by any executive officers depends on whether the executive officer satisfies the conditions for vesting of any such award, the extent to which performance conditions for performance-based awards are satisfied, and the value of our common stock on the date such awards vest (or, with respect to options, on the date that vested options are exercised). You should refer to the "Compensation Discussion & Analysis" section of this proxy statement for a complete description of how executive compensation relates to Company performance and how the Compensation and Human Resources Committee makes its decisions.

The TSR of the S&P SmallCap 600 Capital Goods (Industry Group) Index is used in determining rTSR under our Performance Share Awards.

<sup>(7)</sup> Represents net income of EnPro and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, which includes the results of discontinued operations in each of the periods presented.

<sup>(8)</sup> Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure selected by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee for evaluating performance with respect to the annual incentive compensation plan. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization expenses to earnings and further adding certain selected expenses that the Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes do not reflect normal operating conditions and subtracting certain selected income items that such committee believes do not reflect normal operating conditions. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with adjusted EBITDA as presented by the company in its quarterly and annual earnings announcements, with additional adjustments to eliminate the impact of acquisitions and dispositions occurring during the year and certain other items and the translation impact of foreign currency exchange. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure that has been prepared in conformity with GAAP. While adjusted EBITDA is one factor that we use in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our businesses, we acknowledge that there are many items that impact a company's reported results and the adjustments reflected in adjusted EBITDA are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, adjusted EBITDA as calculated for this purpose is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

*Performance measures used to link performance to executive compensation*

 

We have listed below the four performance measures that represent the most important metrics we used to link Compensation Actually Paid to our NEOs for 2022:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· adjusted
EBITDA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Cash
Flow ROIC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· rTSR;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· common
stock trading price.

The first three financial performance measures are discussed in detail in "Compensation discussion and analysis—2022 executive compensation decisions in detail" in this proxy statement, including the use of these measures in annual and long- term performance-based compensation awards. The final measure—the trading price of our common stock—links the value of equity awards granted to executive officers to our performance, although external factors affecting the trading prices of equity securities generally may overwhelm the impact of our performance on the value of these awards.

**CEO pay ratio**

An SEC rule requires annual disclosure of a reasonable estimate of the ratio of the total annual compensation of our principal executive officer ("PEO") to the total annual compensation of the employee of our company and its subsidiaries who is determined to have the median compensation of, generally, all such employees (excluding individuals serving as our PEO). The rule also requires annual disclosure of this median-compensated employee's total compensation for the year and the PEO's total compensation for the year, in each case as determined in accordance with the rules governing the presentation of total compensation of the named executive officers in the summary compensation table presented on page 48 of this proxy statement.

The SEC rule does not prescribe a particular method for identifying the median-compensated employee and permits companies to use reasonable methodologies for determining the median-compensated employee for the basis of presenting this ratio. Although the SEC rule generally allows companies to continue to use the same median-compensated employee in determining the ratio for 2022 as was used to determine the ratio for 2021, due to changes in our employee group as a result of acquisitions and divestitures of businesses since we first identified that median-compensated employee, we undertook to identify a new median-compensated employee for 2022. To identify the median-compensated employee for 2022, we compiled base salary, bonus, any overtime or commissions, and other cash payments for 2022 of each of our employees who were employed as of December 31, 2022 without any exclusions, other than the exclusion of our then PEO. For employees compensated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, we used applicable currency exchange rates based on an average of the applicable rates over the period to convert all compensation data to a single currency—the U.S. dollar. We determined the 2022 median-compensated employee based on this data. We calculated such employee's 2022 total compensation in accordance with the rules governing the presentation of total compensation of the named executive officers in the summary compensation table.

Based on this methodology, the 2022 total compensation for the median-compensated employee was $55,021. The 2022 total compensation of our PEO, Mr. Vaillancourt, was $5,866,992, as reflected in the summary compensation table on page 48. Accordingly, the ratio of the PEO's 2022 total compensation to the median-compensated employee's 2022 total compensation is approximately 107:1.

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median-compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices, the amount of compensation of the median-compensated employee and the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the amounts reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

**Proposal 3—Advisory vote on the frequency** **of future shareholder advisory votes to** **approve the compensation of our named** **executive officers**

(Item 3 on the proxy card)

**Under the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to provide shareholders with the opportunity at least once every six years to cast an advisory vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation should be held every one year, every two years or every three years. We last held such an advisory vote at our annual meeting held in 2017.**

At that meeting, more votes were cast favoring every "1 Year" as the frequency for holding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation (or "say-on-pay votes") than were cast in favor of any of the other alternatives. Following the 2017 annual meeting, our board of directors adopted a policy to hold shareholder "say-on-pay" votes at each annual meeting (every one year) until the next required advisory vote of the shareholders to select the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

The board of directors continues to believe that a frequency of every one year for the advisory vote on executive compensation is the optimal interval for conducting and responding to a "say on pay" vote to permit the shareholders to express their view on this matter at each annual meeting.

The proxy card provides shareholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the vote every "1 Year," "2 Years" or "3 Years," or abstaining) and, therefore, shareholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the board's recommendation. This advisory vote on the frequency of the "say on pay" vote is nonbinding. However, the board of directors and the Compensation Committee plan to take into account the outcome of the advisory vote when considering the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

**The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote for the option of every** **1 Year for the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.**

**Proposal 4 — Ratification of Pricewaterhouse- Coopers LLP as our company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2023**

(Item 4 on the proxy card)

**On February 15, 2023, the Audit Committee reappointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The board of directors agrees with this decision. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm for periods beginning on and after January 1, 2004. If the shareholders do not ratify this appointment, the Audit Committee will consider other independent registered public accounting firms.**

**The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote** **FOR ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023.**

**2023** PROXY STATEMENT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**66**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

**Independent registered public** **accounting firm**

**The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023. We refer herein to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our "external auditors." We understand that representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the annual meeting on April 28, 2023. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.**

An Audit Committee policy outlines procedures intended to ensure that it approves all audit and non-audit services prior to those services being provided to us by our external auditors. The policy requires the Audit Committee's prior approval of a budget setting fees for all audit services to be performed during the upcoming fiscal year. It mandates the committee's prior approval of amounts for separate non-audit and tax compliance, planning and advisory services for the year, as well as proposed services exceeding approved cost levels. The policy allows the Audit Committee to delegate approval authority to one or more of its members (except for certain internal control-related services). A copy of the approval policy is available on our website at www.enproindustries.com; click on "For Investors," then "Corporate Governance," then "Committees" and then "Audit and Risk Management Committee Pre-Approval Policy."

Before approving services proposed to be performed by the external auditors, the Audit Committee considers whether the services are consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee also considers whether the external auditors may be best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service. Factors considered include familiarity with our business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance our ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. The Audit Committee considers these factors as a whole. No single factor is necessarily determinative. The Audit Committee approved all audit, audit-related and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers performed in 2022 and 2021 in accordance with our policy.

*Fees paid to external auditors*
