| <br>![img80260698_2.gif](img80260698_2.gif) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;February 13, 2026<br>Dear Fellow Stockholders,<br>On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to share our perspectives on ABM Industries Incorporated's performance and progress over the past year.<br>**Strategic Execution**<br>Fiscal 2025 was a year of solid execution against the Company's long-term strategic priorities. Despite a complex and evolving macroeconomic backdrop, ABM delivered record revenue and new sales bookings, underscoring the resilience of its business model and the effectiveness of its strategic focus. These results reflect disciplined decision-making, continued investment in differentiated capabilities, and the consistent delivery of essential services to a broad and diversified client base.<br>Throughout the year, the Board constructively engaged with management on execution across the enterprise, with particular attention to growth, operational discipline, and risk management. ABM continued to strengthen its position in markets where scale, technical expertise, and reliability are increasingly valued, while maintaining balance across its portfolio. The Board was encouraged by the Company's ability to drive growth while also enhancing underlying performance in several of its segments, reinforcing confidence in ABM's long-term strategy.<br>In addition to financial performance, the Board oversaw meaningful progress on several strategic initiatives designed to support sustainable value creation. These included continued modernization of the Company's operating platform, targeted investments in technology and data capabilities, and actions to improve efficiency and scalability. While initiatives of this scope require thoughtful execution, the Board believes these efforts are essential to positioning ABM for long-term competitiveness and margin expansion.<br>**Capital Allocation**<br>ABM continued to deploy capital in a disciplined manner, balancing reinvestment in the business with meaningful returns to shareholders. During the year, the Company repurchased shares, reduced its outstanding share count, and extended its long-standing dividend record, actions that reflect both confidence in the business and a continued commitment to long-term shareholder value.<br>The Board also supported the Company's corporate development actions as a strategic lever to enhance ABM's capabilities and growth profile. In December 2025, ABM announced an agreement to acquire WGNSTAR, a provider of managed workforce solutions and equipment support services for the semiconductor and high-technology industries. The Board believes the transaction aligns well with ABM's disciplined approach to mergers and acquisitions, which emphasizes strategic fit, long-term growth, and value creation. Taken together with the Company's RavenVolt acquisition, which expanded ABM's capabilities in energy resiliency and microgrids, these transactions reflect the Company's strategy to build scale and expertise in high-growth markets where we believe ABM is well positioned to create shareholder value over time.<br>**Governance**<br>We remain committed to having the right mix of skills, qualifications and technical expertise on the Board. In 2025 we added Carol Clements, Chief Digital and Technology Officer of JetBlue, and Barry Hytinen, Chief Financial Officer of Iron Mountain, as independent directors. Carol and Barry bring expertise in important areas such as technology, cybersecurity, capital allocation and mergers & acquisitions, reflecting the Board's thoughtful approach to align Board refreshment efforts with the evolution of our corporate strategy. |

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board was also deeply engaged in its governance and oversight responsibilities. We maintained a strong focus on enterprise risk management, internal controls, and leadership development, while reinforcing a culture grounded in safety, integrity, and accountability. Succession planning and talent development continue to be priorities, supporting continuity and long-term organizational strength.<br>**A Bright Future**<br>As we look ahead, the Board believes ABM enters fiscal 2026 from a position of strength. Record bookings in 2025, a healthy backlog, and continued demand across key end markets support a positive outlook. At the same time, we are ever mindful of broader economic conditions and are committed to prudent oversight as the Company navigates both opportunities and challenges in the year ahead.<br>On behalf of the Board, I thank ABM's employees for their dedication and professionalism, our clients for their trust, and you, our stockholders, for your continued support.<br>

**Note About Forward-Looking Statements**

This Proxy Statement contains both historical and forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. We make forward-looking statements related to future expectations, estimates, and projections that are uncertain and often contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "likely," "may," "outlook," "plan," "predict," "should," "target," or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Particular risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed in our forward-looking statements include those listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our success depends on our ability to gain profitable business despite competitive market pressures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our results of operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel and senior management we need to support our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Investments in and changes to our businesses, operating structure, or personnel relating to our strategic initiatives, including the implementation of strategic transformations, enhanced business processes, and technology initiatives, may not have the desired effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our ability to preserve long-term client relationships is essential to our continued success.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our use of subcontractors or joint venture partners to perform work under customer contracts exposes us to liability and financial risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our international business involves risks different from those we face in the United States that could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Decreases in commercial office space utilization due to hybrid work models and increases in office vacancy rates could adversely affect our financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Negative changes in general economic conditions, such as recessionary pressures, high interest rates, durable and non-durable goods pricing, changes in energy prices, or changes in consumer goods pricing could reduce the demand for our services and, as a result, reduce our revenue and earnings and adversely affect our financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We may experience breaches of, or disruptions to, our information technology systems or those of our third-party providers or clients, or other compromises of our data that could adversely affect our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our ongoing implementation of new enterprise resource planning and related boundary systems could adversely impact our ability to operate our business, including the timing and amount of working capital needed, and report our financial results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions could fail to achieve financial or strategic objectives, disrupt our ongoing business, and adversely impact our results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We may not realize the growth opportunities and synergies that are anticipated from our acquisition of Iveagh New Opportunities Limited, a company incorporated in Ireland, and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We manage our insurable risks through a combination of third-party purchased policies and self-insurance, and we retain a substantial portion of the risk associated with expected losses under these programs, which exposes us to volatility associated with those risks, including the possibility that changes in estimates to our ultimate insurance loss reserves could result in material charges against our earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our risk management and safety programs may not have the intended effect of reducing our liability for personal injury or property loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Unfavorable developments in our class and representative actions and other lawsuits alleging various claims could cause us to incur substantial liabilities.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, which could limit our profitability by increasing the costs of legal and regulatory compliance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A significant number of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements that could expose us to potential liabilities in relation to our participation in multiemployer pension plans, requirements to make contributions to other benefit plans, and the potential for strikes, work slowdowns or similar activities, and union organizing drives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our business may be materially affected by changes to fiscal and tax policies. Negative or unexpected tax consequences could adversely affect our results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Future increases in the level of our borrowings and interest rates could affect our results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be negatively impacted, which could harm our operating results and investor perceptions of our Company and as a result may have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our business may be negatively impacted by adverse weather conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Catastrophic events, disasters, pandemics, and terrorist attacks could disrupt our services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Actions of activist investors could disrupt our business.

The list of factors above is illustrative and by no means exhaustive. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties we face is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025, and in other reports (including all amendments to those reports) we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We urge readers to consider these risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

**Virtual Annual Meeting**

We have decided to hold the Annual Meeting virtually again this year because we believe that hosting a virtual Annual Meeting, (i) facilitates stockholder access by enabling stockholders to participate fully and equally from any location around the world at no cost, and (ii) improves meeting efficiency and our ability to effectively communicate and engage with our stockholders, regardless of their size, resources, or physical location.

We have designed the virtual Annual Meeting to provide substantially the same opportunities to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting. Our virtual Annual Meeting will be conducted on the internet via live webcast. Stockholders will be able to attend and participate online and submit questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ABM2026. Stockholders will be able to vote their shares electronically during the Annual Meeting.

Stockholders who would like to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting will need the 16-digit control number included on their Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice"), proxy card, or voting instruction form. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. Online access will begin 15 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting, at 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time.

You may submit questions in advance on the day of the Annual Meeting by logging into www.proxyvote.com and entering your 16-digit control number. Once past the log-in screen, click on "Question for Management," type in the question, and click "Submit." Alternatively, stockholders will be able to submit questions live during the Annual Meeting by typing the question into the "Ask a Question" field, and clicking submit. We will answer questions that comply with the Annual Meeting rules of conduct during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints. Questions relevant to Annual Meeting matters that we do not have time to answer during the Annual Meeting will be posted to our website following the meeting along with those questions that were addressed during the Annual Meeting. Questions regarding personal matters or matters not relevant to Annual Meeting matters will not be answered.

Although the live webcast is available only to stockholders at the time of the Annual Meeting, a replay of the Annual Meeting will be made publicly available for one year at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ABM2026.

Additional information regarding the ability of stockholders to ask questions during the Annual Meeting, related rules of conduct, and other materials for the Annual Meeting, including the list of our stockholders of record, will be available during the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ABM2026.

**ABM's Business Highlights and Accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2025**

**ABM's 2025 Achievements** 

---

| |
|:---|
| We delivered record revenue of $8.7 billion, representing a 4.6% increase over the prior year, driven by 3.8% organic growth and the remainder from acquisitions. Growth was led by our Technical Solutions segment, up 10% organically on strong microgrid and mission-critical infrastructure demand. Our Aviation segment increased 8% organically driven by healthy travel markets and new contract wins. Our Manufacturing & Distribution segment grew 4%, supported by new clients and expansions in technology and eCommerce markets, while our Business & Industry and Education segments each delivered 2% growth, demonstrating resilience in a challenging macroeconomic environment. |
| We generated net income of $162.4 million, adjusted net income of $215.8 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $496.6 million<sup>(1)</sup>. These results reflect higher segment operating earnings and the benefits of disciplined cost management and restructuring actions, partially offset by higher interest expense and continued investments to support long-term growth initiatives. |
| We generated full year operating cash flow of $234.4 million and free cash flow of $155.1 million<sup>(1)</sup>. Cash flow improved meaningfully in the second half of the year as execution of our enterprise resource planning ("ERP") implementation stabilized and working capital performance normalized, reflecting the strength of our asset-light business model. |
| We returned significant capital to stockholders while continuing to invest in the business. During fiscal year 2025, we repurchased $121.3 million of common stock, reducing our outstanding share count by approximately 4%, and paid dividends totaling approximately $66 million. Subsequent to year-end, our Board of Directors approved a 9% increase to the quarterly dividend, extending ABM's record to 58 consecutive years of annual dividend increases. ABM remains one of a small group of public companies who have raised their annual dividend for over 50 consecutive years, recognized as "Dividend Kings." |
| We achieved record new sales bookings of $1.9 billion in fiscal 2025, reflecting strong demand across our end markets and the continued success of our technology-enabled and integrated solutions.  |
| We continued to execute against our transformation initiatives in fiscal 2025. We made significant progress advancing our ERP implementation across our Business & Industry and Manufacturing & Distribution segments following the successful rollout in our Education segment, improved data visibility and operational processes, and invested in artificial intelligence-enabled tools to enhance pricing, request-for-proposal efficiency, workforce management, and client outcomes. We also launched a new brand platform titled "Driving possibility, together." to reflect ABM's evolution as a technology-enabled, solutions-focused partner. |
| We released our 2024 Corporate Responsibility Report. The report highlights progress on the Company's long-term goals and solutions that are designed to enable clients to address key risks and opportunities. We were also pleased to be included on Newsweek's list of most responsible companies, among other awards. |

**Our Executive Compensation Programs** 

In fiscal year 2025, our compensation programs continued to reflect the compensation philosophy established by our Compensation Committee – one that is intended to align our executives' compensation with our strategic goals, and motivate and retain executives who are critical to our future success and long-term performance. Key features of our compensation philosophy include:

► **Performance-Based** – Tie significant portions of compensation to performance metrics that align to our short-term and long-term business goals;

► **Align with Stockholder Interests** – Align each executive's interests with stockholders' interests by requiring significant stock ownership and paying a significant portion of compensation in equity subject to performance conditions and multi-year vesting requirements; and

► **Market Competitiveness** – Attract and retain key executives who possess the capability to lead the business forward by providing innovative and effective service to our clients and customers.

**Elements of Total Direct Compensation:**

► **Base Salary** – Fixed cash compensation with adjustments tied to individual responsibilities, performance and marketplace dynamics;

► **Annual Cash Incentive Program** – Focuses on near-term performance objectives reflecting Company strategy;

► **Performance-Based Equity Grants** – Aligns business objectives with longer-term stockholder interests; and

► **Time-Based Equity Grants** – Fosters retention by delivering more stable value and continuity of leadership.

**At-Risk Compensation**

A significant portion of our executives' compensation is at risk. At-risk compensation includes: annual cash incentive compensation ("bonus"), which is tied to annual financial and individual performance measures; performance-based equity awards, which are paid only if performance metrics established at the beginning of the three-year performance period are met; and time-based equity awards. Approximately 89% of our CEO's compensation is at risk. An average of approximately 77% of our other named executive officers' ("NEOs") compensation is at risk.

![img80260698_19.jpg](img80260698_19.jpg)<br>

**PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF TWELVE DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO SERVE ONE-YEAR TERMS**

**Proposal Summary**

We are asking our stockholders to elect twelve director nominees to serve on the Board for a one-year term and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Information about the Board and each director nominee is included in this section. The number of directors is currently fixed at twelve. All of the nominees currently serve as directors on the Board. Each nominee, other than Ms. Clements and Mr. Hytinen, was elected to the Board by the stockholders at the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting. The Board elected Ms. Clements and Mr. Hytinen to the Board on June 11, 2025, and October 29, 2025, respectively.

**Board Recommendation**

**The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" each director nominee.** After consideration of each nominee's qualifications, skills and experience, as well as his or her prior contributions to our Board, the Board believes that each nominee should continue to serve on the Board.

**Voting** 

Unless contrary instructions are received, the shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted "FOR" each of the director nominees presented below. Each nominee has agreed to serve, if elected. If, at the time of the Annual Meeting, one or more of the director nominees has become unavailable to serve, the shares represented by proxies will be voted for the remaining nominees and for any substitute director nominee or nominees designated by the Board unless the size of the Board is reduced. The Board knows of no reason why any of the director nominees will be unavailable or unable to serve.

Director nominees are elected by stockholders by a majority of the votes cast. This means that the number of shares voted "for" a director's election must exceed 50% of the number of votes cast on the issue of that director's election at a stockholder meeting as more fully described under "Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and the Annual Meeting" of this Proxy Statement. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Principles, any nominee standing for re-election who does not receive a majority of votes cast "for" his or her re-election is expected to tender his or her resignation promptly following the failure to receive the required vote. The Governance Committee will then make a recommendation to the Board as to whether the Board should accept the resignation, and the Board will decide whether to accept the resignation.

**Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors**

Our Board is responsible for selecting nominees for election as directors. The Board delegates the screening process to the Governance Committee with the expectation that other members of the Board and executives will be requested to take part in this process, as appropriate. The Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, evaluating, and recommending director candidates to the Board. As part of this process, the Governance Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board the criteria for director candidates, and reviewing with the Board the requisite skills and characteristics of new Board candidates in the context of the current composition of the Board. This assessment includes review of a candidate's experience in industry, finance, administration, corporate governance, as well as operations and marketing. Pursuant to the Company's Corporate Governance Principles, director candidates should be able to provide insights and practical wisdom based on their experience and expertise. The Governance Committee takes these factors into account when looking for candidates to recommend for approval by the full Board. The Governance Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board and whether any vacancies on the Board are anticipated because of retirement or otherwise. In the event that any vacancy is anticipated, or otherwise arises, the Governance Committee considers various potential candidates to fill such vacancies.

The Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director, such as professional search firms and the relationships of current directors. In the case of a search firm, the Governance Committee will pay a fee for such a firm to assist it in the recruitment and identification of potential candidates for the Board. The Governance Committee generally provides the search firm with guidance as to the qualifications, qualities and skills that the Governance Committee is seeking in potential candidates, and the search firm identifies candidates for the Governance Committee's consideration. Ms. Clements and Mr. Hytinen are each standing for election by stockholders for the first time at the Annual Meeting. Ms. Clements and Mr. Hytinen were each elected to serve as directors by the Board in 2025, and each was initially recommended to the Governance Committee by a search firm retained by the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee provided the search firm with guidance as to the qualifications, qualities and skills that the Governance Committee was seeking in potential candidates, and the search firm identified candidates for the Governance Committee's consideration. In evaluating Ms. Clements as a director candidate, the Governance Committee considered her extensive executive experience in technology and digital transformations, as well as her experience in enhancing operational performance through the use of data and analytics, among many attributes, and concluded that she would contribute positively to the Board's mix of skills and experiences. In evaluating Mr. Hytinen as a director candidate, the Governance Committee considered his extensive executive experience in corporate finance, strategic transformations, and operational leadership, among many attributes, and concluded that he would contribute positively to the Board's mix of skills and experiences. After the Governance Committee evaluated Ms. Clements' and Mr. Hytinen's candidacies for the Board (including, without limitation, through interviews with directors, completion of questionnaires and related procedures), it then determined to recommend each of them to the Board for election.

Candidates may also come to the attention of the Governance Committee through stockholders or other persons. The Governance Committee will consider such candidates on the same basis and in the same manner as it considers all director candidates. Stockholders wishing to submit candidates for election as directors should provide the names of such candidates to the Corporate Secretary, ABM Industries Incorporated, One Liberty Plaza, New York, New York 10006. See "Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and the Annual Meeting" for more information on submitting stockholder director nominations to the Company.

Our directors are expected to prepare for, attend and participate in Board meetings and meetings of the Committees of the Board on which they serve. They are also expected to meet as frequently and spend as much time as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities and duties as directors and to arrange their schedules so that other existing and planned future commitments do not materially interfere with their service as a director.

**Board Leadership Structure**

The Board recognizes that good governance is not tied to any one practice with respect to leadership structure, and that the best practice is often determined by facts and circumstances that may change from time to time. The Board periodically evaluates its leadership structure and determines the most appropriate leadership structure at that time. In considering which leadership structure will allow it to most effectively carry out its responsibilities and best represent stockholders' interests, the Board takes into account various factors, including the Company's specific business needs, the Company's operating and financial performance, industry conditions, economic and regulatory environments, the current composition of the Board, the policies and practices in place to provide independent Board oversight of management, the results of Board and committee annual self-assessments, and the advantages and disadvantages of alternative leadership structures based on circumstances at that time.

![img80260698_17.jpg](img80260698_17.jpg)<br>

The Company currently has separate persons serving as its Chairman and its Chief Executive Officer and believes that at this time, the separation of these roles is the most effective leadership structure for ABM and its stockholders. The Chief Executive Officer (Mr. Salmirs) has general and active management over the business and affairs of the Company, including the execution of its strategic initiatives, subject to the oversight of the Board. The Chairman of our Board (Mr. Kesavan) is charged with, and focused on, presiding over all meetings of the Board and our stockholders, as well as providing advice and counsel to the Chief Executive Officer, coordinating the preparation of agendas, keeping directors informed of matters impacting the Company, and maintaining contact with the Company's General Counsel.

Mr. Kesavan's extensive management, operations, and leadership experience provides him with unique capabilities and insight, which are brought to bear in the performance of his responsibilities as Board Chairman. In particular, with respect to risk oversight, Mr. Kesavan is well positioned as a result of his risk management background of over 20 years as chief executive officer of another multinational public company. Mr. Kesavan leverages this knowledge and experience to provide leadership for the Board on the material risks facing ABM and to help guide the Board's independent oversight of the Company's risk exposures through his input in the Board's meeting agendas and his facilitation of communications between the Board and management.

**Director Independence**

Our Corporate Governance Principles provide that a majority of our directors must be independent. Further, the Committee Charters for our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Governance Committee, and Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee require all members be independent. Each year, our Governance Committee reviews the independence of each of our directors under applicable New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing standards and considers any current or previous employment relationships as well as any transactions or relationships between our Company and our directors or any members of their immediate families (or any entity of which a director or an immediate family member is an executive officer, general partner or significant equity holder). The purpose of this review is to determine whether any relationships or transactions exist that preclude a director from being deemed independent under applicable NYSE listing standards or are otherwise inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent.

Our Governance Committee has affirmatively determined and recommended to our Board, and the Board has affirmatively determined, that each of our currently-serving directors and director nominees (including Messrs. Allen, Colleran, DeVries, Garcia, Gartland, Hytinen, and Kesavan and Mmes. Baker, Clements, Golder, and Webb) other than Mr. Salmirs, our Chief Executive Officer, is independent under applicable NYSE and Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations.

**Board and Committee Evaluations**

The Board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is an essential component of good corporate governance, and undertakes an annual evaluation process to identify ways to enhance the Board's and committees' effectiveness. Pursuant to its charter, the Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the process for the Board's and each Board committee's annual self-evaluation. The Governance Committee annually reviews the format of the evaluation process, including whether to utilize a third-party facilitator, to ensure that the Board actively solicits actionable feedback on the operation and effectiveness of the Board, Board committees and individual directors.

For fiscal year 2025, the evaluation process included self-evaluations by each director with respect to the full Board and each applicable Board committee on topics including, but not limited to: the number and length of meetings, topics covered and materials provided, committee structure and activities, Board composition, succession planning, director participation and interaction with management, and key agenda topics for Board and committee meetings. A summary of results identifying themes, issues, and specific feedback were discussed with the full Board and each committee.

Our multi-step evaluation process generates meaningful comments and discussion, and the Board and committees identify and hold themselves accountable for action items stemming from the evaluations. The evaluation results have led to changes designed to increase our Board's effectiveness and efficiency. For example, in recent years, as a result of the evaluations, enhancements have been made regarding director mix, Board and committee meeting materials and discussion topics, the structure and responsibilities of the Board's committees, executive session discussions, committee reports to the Board, as well as the Board's evaluation process.

**The Board's Oversight of Risk Management**

Company management is responsible for day-to-day risk management activities, including the continuing development and implementation of our enterprise risk management ("ERM") program. Our ERM processes are designed to work across the Company to assess, govern and manage risks identified by management in the short-, intermediate- and long-term and manage the Company's responses to those risks. Management performs an annual risk assessment, which considers industry trends, benchmarks and internal surveys of key employees.

The Board, acting directly and through its committees, is responsible for the oversight of management's ERM process and the Company's risk management programs and processes generally, including oversight of the Company's business to evaluate whether systemic risks are being adequately addressed. The Board is also responsible for periodically reviewing and overseeing the Company's risk management and strategy related to its cybersecurity and artificial intelligence ("AI") programs, policies, and practices, including (i) the Company's processes for assessing, identifying, managing, and mitigating material risks from cybersecurity and AI-related threats and emerging developments; (ii) whether any risks from cybersecurity threats or AI technologies have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company; (iii) the expertise of members of management with respect to assessing and managing risks from cybersecurity threats and AI technologies; and (iv) the Company's disclosure controls and procedures with respect to material cybersecurity or AI-related threats or incidents.

Our Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the Company's ERM program, including providing input with respect to the risks identified in the ERM process (e.g., changes in significant risks), identification and potential impacts of emerging risks, and discussions with management about how such risks are being mitigated by the Company. Management regularly provides reports to the Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee covering the ERM process and significant risks, including summaries of the findings and recommendations of third-party experts.

Our Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee also oversees risks related to (i) certain social issues, including, but not limited to, culture and inclusion, employee engagement, talent acquisition, development, and retention, and health and safety; (ii) certain environmental issues, including, but not limited to, climate change, emissions tracking and energy consumption; and (iii) cybersecurity, including by reviewing the Company's cybersecurity risk tolerances and mitigation strategies. The Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee also receives and reviews presentations on selected risk topics, including emerging risks, as management or the Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee deem appropriate from time to time, and provides oversight to management relating to the identification, evaluation, and mitigation of stakeholder risks, including, but not limited to, risks related to social and environmental matters.

Our Audit Committee reviews and discusses guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, the Company's major financial risk exposures (including risks relating to the Company's accounting, reporting and financial practices, including financial controls) and the steps management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, The Audit Committee also assists the Board in its oversight of the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Our Compensation Committee reviews and assesses annually risks arising from the Company's compensation policies and practices for its employees and whether any such risks are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, as further discussed in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" later in this Proxy Statement.

Our Governance Committee reviews and assesses risks associated with board structure and other corporate governance policies and practices, and whether any such risks are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

In fulfilling their oversight responsibilities, all committees receive regular reports on their respective areas of responsibility from members of management. Each committee reports regularly to the full Board on its activities, including on matters relating to risk oversight. In addition, the Board participates in regular discussions in executive sessions led by the Chairman of the Board, as well as with the Company's senior management on many key subjects, including strategy, industry group performance, operations, information systems, finance, and legal.

**The Board's Role in Cybersecurity Risk Oversight**

ABM recognizes the importance of cybersecurity risk management, which is integrated within ABM's overall ERM framework and is aligned with standard industry information security frameworks. Specifically, cybersecurity is one of the key risk topics covered within ABM's enterprise risk framework through the Company's regular identification, assessment, and reporting processes.

ABM's management is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Company's cybersecurity policies, processes, practices, and risk management. Our internal information security program is managed by a dedicated team of cybersecurity professionals led by our Chief Information Security Officer, who has specific responsibility for cybersecurity risk management and reports to our Chief Information Officer. The Chief Information Security Officer meets regularly with our executive management team to review our cybersecurity programs, objectives, trends and threats.

Our Board has ultimate oversight of the Company's risk management and strategy related to its cybersecurity and AI programs, policies, and practices, including (i) the Company's processes for assessing, identifying, managing, and mitigating material risks from cybersecurity and AI-related threats and emerging developments; (ii) whether any risks from cybersecurity threats or AI technologies have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company; (iii) the expertise of members of management with respect to assessing and managing risks from cybersecurity threats and AI technologies; and (iv) the Company's disclosure controls and procedures with respect to material cybersecurity or AI-related risks and incidents. The Board is assisted by its Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee, which oversees the Company's enterprise risk management program and the identification, evaluation, and mitigation of stakeholder risks, including those relating to cybersecurity.

In addition, ABM maintains a monitoring system and escalation process to inform senior management and the Board of any potentially material cybersecurity issues. Specifically, our cybersecurity operations team monitors and reviews cybersecurity developments and threats, conducts initial assessments of these threats, and escalates any matter requiring senior management's attention to our Chief Information Officer. We have also developed cyber incident response plans and related playbooks to guide the handling of information security incidents, outlining a coordinated approach to investigate, contain, and mitigate incidents. These response plans establish clear communication protocols for notifying senior management and other key stakeholders based on defined severity thresholds. Under these plans, any significant incident is escalated to a multifunctional materiality committee comprised of management representatives for information technology, legal, compliance, operations, finance, and accounting.

ABM's Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer regularly provide reports and updates to other members of senior management, our Board, and our Board's Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee. In connection with these updates, our Board reviews the Company's cybersecurity programs and oversees the Company's efforts to continually enhance the Company's cybersecurity posture and to mitigate related risks. The reports from ABM's Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer also include updates on emerging trends and progress on overall enterprise cybersecurity priorities.

**Corporate Responsibility**

As one of the world's largest providers of integrated facility, engineering, and infrastructure solutions, ABM embraces its responsibility to take care of people, spaces, and places in ways that are ethical, responsible, and environmentally conscious. Corporate responsibility is embedded in our culture, mission and values, and helps guide how we operate, deliver solutions, and create long-term value for our business, stockholders, employees, clients, and the communities we serve.

*Empowering People*

Our employees are the driving force behind our success. As a service-oriented organization with a widely distributed workforce of more than 100,000 employees supporting more than 20,000 clients across the U.S., U.K., and Ireland, our ability to attract, develop, and retain talent directly impacts client satisfaction and business performance. To succeed in a competitive labor market, ABM has established recruitment, retention, and development strategies that are integral to our overall business strategy.

We seek to foster a culture where employees feel respected, supported, and empowered to contribute and grow. We utilize regional recruitment strategies, applicant-tracking technology, and analytics tools to improve efficiency and consistency in our human capital processes, with particular focus on attracting, retaining, and developing our frontline employees, who represent the majority of our workforce.

![img80260698_19.jpg](img80260698_19.jpg)<br>

Safety is embedded as a core value and foundational element of our culture. Our "Think Safe, Act Safe, Be Safe" approach establishes a safety-first mindset from day one of employment and is reinforced through daily safety moments, role-specific training, and ongoing engagement. Our health and safety programs are designed to meet or exceed Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards and other applicable regulatory requirements, supporting the well-being of our employees, clients, and the communities we serve.

ABM continues to invest in learning and leadership development. Our ABM University learning platform provides team members with access to on-demand training, reference materials, and development tools tailored to job level and role-specific needs. Frontline team members receive on-the-job and safety training aligned to their work environment, while staff and management employees have access to expanded professional and leadership development opportunities.

*Responsible Business Practices*

Since our founding more than a century ago, ABM has been committed to operating with integrity and accountability. Our business and compliance policies, practices, and reporting are designed to support ethical and responsible operations across our organization and supply chain.

Our Code of Business Conduct reflects ABM's core values of respect, integrity, collaboration, innovation, trust, and excellence. The Code of Business Conduct addresses topics such as conflicts of interest, duty of loyalty, gifts and gratuities, bribery and corruption, and harassment and discrimination, and serves as a key resource to help employees recognize and report unethical conduct.

The Company provides comprehensive annual training and certification programs on our Code of Business Conduct for our Board of Directors and all of our staff and management employees. All ABM employees are empowered to report any violations of the Code of Business Conduct or applicable law and are provided with various channels to do so.

ABM also maintains a Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets expectations that suppliers comply with applicable laws and uphold standards related to human rights, environmental responsibility, and the safety and integrity of products and services.

*Oversight and Reporting*

Our Board oversees ABM's corporate responsibility-related risks and priorities with the assistance of its committees. Our Board receives regular reports from meetings of its Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee, which is responsible for the oversight of the Company's programs, policies, and practices relating to social and environmental matters that may impact the Company's business and key stakeholders. Our Board also receives regular reports from meetings of its Governance Committee, which is responsible for oversight of our Company's corporate governance practices and overall corporate responsibility-related framework.

Since 2011, we have voluntarily published a Corporate Responsibility Report on an annual basis, which aligns with the Global Reporting Initiative framework and the disclosure framework of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. Additional information about our Corporate Responsibility approach can be found on our corporate website. Environmental Stewardship

Environmental stewardship is a key pillar within ABM's corporate responsibility strategy. Through our actions, policies, and partnerships, ABM works to reduce our environmental footprint and support our clients in optimizing operations, improving efficiency, and advancing their environmental objectives.

ABM's portfolio of energy, electrification, and engineering facility solutions provides electrical infrastructure and energy resiliency services designed to increase reliability, reduce downtime, and support evolving energy and carbon considerations.

To support continuity of service, ABM maintains contingency planning, business continuity, crisis management, and disaster recovery procedures intended to help prepare for severe weather events and other operational disruptions.

In 2024, ABM opened its Electrification Center in Forsyth County, Georgia, which centralizes electrical infrastructure operations, distribution, and training. In 2025, the Electrification Center supported community engagement through partnerships with local schools and universities, providing education and exposure for career paths in electrical infrastructure and skilled trades.

ABM's corporate responsibility efforts continue to be recognized externally. In 2025, ABM was named among Newsweek's America's Most Responsible Companies and USA Today's America's Climate Leaders.

**Mandatory Retirement**

The Board has adopted a retirement policy for directors who attain the age of 73, subject to waiver by the Board if the Governance Committee and Board each deem a director's continued service is in the best interests of the Company.

**Outside Board Limits**

We limit the number of other public company boards our directors may join to ensure that our directors are able to rigorously prepare for and participate in Board and Committee meetings. Directors who are full-time employees of the Company or who serve as chief executive officers or equivalent positions at other public companies may not serve on more than one other board of a publicly traded company. Other directors may not serve on more than four boards of public companies (including the Company's Board). Any Audit Committee member's service on more than three public company audit committees will be subject to the Board's determination that the member is able to serve effectively on the Company's Audit Committee and the disclosure of that determination in ABM's annual proxy statement. A director is required to notify the Governance Committee before accepting an invitation to serve on another board to enable ABM to consider whether (1) any regulatory issues or potential conflicts are raised by the director accepting such an invitation and (2) the director will have the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at Board meetings. Service on other boards and other commitments are considered by the Governance Committee and the Board when reviewing Board candidates and in connection with the Board's annual self-assessment process. The Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing directors' compliance with the Company's overboarding policy on an annual basis. All of our current Board members are in compliance with the Company's overboarding policy.

**Board Committees** 

The Board has four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Governance Committee and the Stakeholder and Enterprise Risk Committee. Each committee is composed solely of independent directors, meets periodically throughout the year, reports its actions and recommendations to the Board, receives reports from senior management, meets regularly in executive session, annually evaluates its performance and has the authority to retain outside advisors. Annually, or more frequently, as needed, our Governance Committee reviews committee assignments and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to committee membership, taking into consideration each director's qualifications and the desire to refresh committee membership. The primary responsibilities of each committee, as well as membership of each committee, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, are summarized below. Each committee is governed by a charter, which sets forth the applicable responsibilities for each committee. For more information, see the committee charters on the corporate governance section of our website at http://investor.abm.com/corporate-governance.cfm.

**DIRECTOR COMPENSATION FO** **R FISCAL YEAR 2025**

ABM compensates non-employee directors through a combination of annual cash retainers, fees relating to chairing or serving on a committee, and equity grants. ABM also reimburses its directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board and Committee meetings. Equity awards to non-employee directors in fiscal year 2025 were granted under our stockholder-approved ABM Industries Incorporated 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (Amended and Restated February 10, 2025) (the "2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan"). The Governance Committee annually reviews and approves the compensation of non-employee directors. Pay Governance LLC ("Pay Governance"), the Compensation Committee's independent consultant, periodically provides information regarding non-employee director compensation to the Governance Committee. No changes were made to non-employee director compensation in fiscal year 2025. The following table describes the components of the non-employee director compensation program in effect during 2025.

\*Mr. Salmirs is a member of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer of ABM. His compensation for fiscal year 2025 is reported in the 2025, 2024 and 2023 Summary Compensation Table and other sections of this Proxy Statement. In fiscal year 2025, Mr. Salmirs did not receive any compensation for his service on the Board.

(1)Amount includes annual Board cash retainers, Committee member cash retainers, and Committee chair additional cash retainers.

(2)The value of stock awards shown in the "Stock Awards" column is based on the grant date fair value computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board's Accounting Standards Codification 718, *Compensation—Stock Compensation* ("FASB ASC Topic 718"), excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of the equity awards shown in the "Stock Awards" column is based on the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant of the equity award. A director who becomes a Board member following the date of the last held annual meeting of stockholders receives a prorated grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") based on the date that he or she joined the Board. In addition, each non-employee director who was expected to continue on the Board after the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders received an annual grant on January 6, 2025. For each then-current director, with the exception of Mr. Kesavan, the grant for 2025 on January 6, 2025 was 3,155 RSUs, which was calculated by dividing $160,000 by $50.71. For Mr. Kesavan, the grant for 2025 on January 6, 2025 was 4,338 RSUs, which was calculated by dividing $220,000 by $50.71. For Ms. Clements, the grant was pro-rated for 2025 on July 1, 2025 and totaled 1,964 RSUs, which was calculated by dividing $93,333 by $47.52. Mr. Hytinen was appointed to the Board in October 2025 and did not receive a pro-rated RSU grant until after the end of the fiscal year. RSUs held by each then-current director as of October 31, 2025, including RSUs that have been deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, were: Mr. Allen, 16,750; Ms. Baker, 3,189; Ms. Clements, 1,975; Mr. Colleran, 3,189; Mr. DeVries, 11,811; Mr. Garcia, 26,104; Mr. Gartland, 25,006; Ms. Golder, 3,189; Mr. Kesavan, 4,386; and Ms. Webb, 13,425.

(3)Amounts shown include value of dividend equivalents ("DEUs") credited in fiscal year 2025 with respect to RSUs held by non-employee directors, including deferred RSUs under the ABM Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. DEUs are settled in Company stock when the underlying RSUs vest.

(4)Ms. Clements joined the Board on June 11, 2025.

(5)Mr. Hytinen joined the Board on October 29, 2025.

(6)Chairman of the Board.

**Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan** 

Non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the ABM Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("Director Deferred Compensation Plan"). Plan participants may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of their annual cash retainers and fees until they cease to be members of the Board, or to specified withdrawal dates (at least three years after their election), in accordance with the terms of the Director Deferred Compensation Plan. The amounts held in each director's account are credited with interest quarterly at a rate based on the prime interest rate published in the *Wall Street Journal* on the last business day coinciding with or next preceding the valuation date. In addition, the Director Deferred Compensation Plan permits directors to defer the settlement of Director RSUs to a date later than the vesting date.

**Director Stock Ownership Policy**

Our Director Stock Ownership Policy requires directors to hold common stock (including unvested or deferred RSUs) having a value equivalent to five times his or her annual cash retainer within five years of becoming a director. Under this policy, directors who are not at their targeted stock ownership level within the five-year period must hold at least 50% of any net shares realized until they reach their target. "Net shares realized" means unrestricted shares acquired by a director under our equity incentive plans or acquired pursuant to the exercise of an option, net of any shares sold to pay the exercise price. All directors are either at or above the targeted stock ownership levels or are still within the initial five-year period.

Pursuant to our anti-hedging and pledging policy, our directors are not permitted to hedge or pledge shares of ABM's common stock.

**PROPOSAL 2—ADVISORY APPROVAL OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

**Proposal Summary**

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the Company's executive compensation policies and practices as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, accompanying tables and related narrative contained in this Proxy Statement. At our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders voted to conduct this advisory vote on an annual basis. Accordingly, the Company has determined to submit an advisory vote on our executive compensation to our stockholders at each annual meeting (with the next one occurring in 2027) until the next advisory vote on the frequency of such advisory votes in 2029.

**Board Recommendation**

**The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the following resolution:**

**RESOLVED—that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's executives named in the 2025, 2024 and 2023 Summary Compensation Table, as disclosed in the Company's 2026 Proxy Statement pursuant to the executive compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and other executive compensation disclosures.**

**Voting**

Unless contrary instructions are received, the shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted "FOR" the preceding resolution. Your vote is advisory and so it will not be binding on the Board. However, the Board will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes our executive compensation program for our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and other executive officers named in the 2025, 2024 and 2023 Summary Compensation Table (collectively, our "NEOs").

Our Compensation Committee (referred to as the "Committee" in this section of the Proxy Statement) oversees all aspects of our NEO compensation. Our NEOs for fiscal year 2025 are:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Scott Salmirs**, President and Chief Executive Officer |
|  | **David Orr**, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer  |
|  | **Rene Jacobsen**, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer |
|  | **Raul Valentin**, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer |
|  | **Sean Mahoney**, Executive Vice President and President, Sales and Marketing |
|  | **Earl R. Ellis**, Former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer\* |

---

\*Mr. Ellis served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer through June 6, 2025. He then served as Senior Advisor from June 7, 2025 until his termination from the Company on September 5, 2025.

**OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICES**

***Compensation Philosophy***

Our objective is to design an executive compensation program that encourages all of our leaders to produce strong financial results and create sustainable long-term value for our stockholders. To achieve this, we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•use evaluation criteria that include both internally measured performance (represented by our performance against our financial targets) and externally measured performance (represented by relative total stockholder return);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•place significant weight on long-term equity compensation, thereby tying a substantial amount of total compensation of our executives to the achievement of sustained stockholder value creation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•provide a mix of short-term annual cash incentive compensation and long-term performance-based equity compensation.

***Best Practices***

The following are some of the best practices we employ in our compensation program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**At-Will Employment.** We do not have fixed-term employment agreements with our NEOs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Clawback Policy.** We maintain a clawback policy that empowers the Company to recover certain incentive compensation erroneously awarded to a current or former executive officer in the event of an accounting restatement, in accordance with such policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Special Forfeiture Rights (Enhanced Clawback Policy).** Our incentive award terms and conditions provide that, in the event of an employee's serious misconduct, outstanding awards will be forfeited and certain amounts paid and received by employees will be recoverable by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**No Single-Trigger Change-in-Control Payments.** We utilize double-trigger change-in-control provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**No Tax Gross-Ups.** We do not have tax gross-ups.

• No **Grant Timing** **.** The Compensation Committee did not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards in 2025, and ABM does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**No Hedging or Pledging.** We prohibit hedging and pledging of Company stock.

![img80260698_34.jpg](img80260698_34.jpg)<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Stock Ownership Guidelines and Retention Requirements.** We require significant stock ownership and retention by our executive officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Limited Perquisites.** Our executive officers receive limited perquisites.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**No Unearned Dividends or Dividend Equivalents.** Our executive officers receive dividend equivalents on equity awards only to the extent that the awards are earned.

***Fiscal 2025 Overview and Impact on Executive Compensation***

In fiscal year 2025, the Board and management team focused on ensuring the Company was well-positioned and appropriately resourced to build on its strengths and capture growth opportunities across our business segments.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;***2025 Company Performance*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Grew total revenue 4.6% to $8.7 billion, comprised of organic growth of 3.8% and the remainder from acquisitions. Each segment generated organic revenue growth, led by Technical Solutions and Aviation, which grew 10% and 8%, respectively. Manufacturing & Distribution grew 4%, while both Business & Industry and Education grew 2%, all supported by new wins and client expansions.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Increased net income to $162.4 million and grew adjusted EBITDA to $496.6 million<sup>(1)</sup>. These results reflect higher segment operating earnings and the benefits of cost management and restructuring actions, partially offset by higher interest expense and continued investments to support long-term growth initiatives.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Repurchased $121.3 million of common stock, reducing our outstanding share count by approximately 4%, and paid dividends totaling approximately $66 million to stockholders, marking 58 consecutive years of raising our annual dividend.<br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;***Pay Governance and Philosophy*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Provide compensation plans with a significant portion of the total pay at-risk in short- and long-term incentives and a greater emphasis on the long-term plans, and payouts based on achievements of financial and non-financial objectives.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Maintain policies that promote good governance and serve the interests of our stockholders, including policies on anti-pledging, anti-hedging, insider trading, stock ownership guidelines for executives and clawbacks.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Follow best practices such as maximum caps on our short- and long-term incentive plans, a combination of relative and absolute performance metrics in our performance share program, multi-year vesting of our time-based stock awards, and no guaranteed base salary increases.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Hold an advisory say-on-pay vote on an annual basis, with a track record of investor support of executive compensation plans.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Pay programs align our executives' compensation with strategic goals while motivating and retaining executives critical to our future success and long-term performance. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A significant portion of our executives' compensation is at-risk, with approximately 89% of our CEO's compensation and approximately 77% of our other NEOs' compensation tied to short- and long-term incentive plans.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Pay levels are set commensurate with performance and intended to attract and retain high quality executive talent, with our total target pay approximating the peer median.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to advise on internal pay equity among executives, pay-for-performance alignment and external market competitiveness, including peer analyses. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;***NEO 2025 Pay*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Base salaries reflect each NEO's role, responsibility, experience, individual performance and market conditions, without automatic or guaranteed increases. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Corporate goals under the Company's annual cash incentive program ("CIP") were achieved at above target payout for organic revenue and safety and slightly below target for CIP  |

Personal objectives for the NEOs were achieved at above target performance, ranging between 125% and 150% of target, reflecting positive achievement against their individual goals. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Long-term equity incentives were awarded in January 2025, with (i) more than a majority (60%) granted in the form of three-year performance-based shares tied to M&A adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> and M&A adjusted revenue<sup>(1)</sup>, along with a relative-total stockholder return ("TSR") modifier on a scale of 80% to 120% of the earned award and (ii) the remainder (40%) granted in the form of time-based RSUs, with both awards earned over a three-year period. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our 2023–2025 Performance Share Plan for NEOs was based on M&A adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> and organic revenue. Achievement under the 2023–2025 Performance Share Program metrics resulted in an earned award at 84% of target. After application of the TSR modifier accounting for the Company's ranking in the 10th percentile of S&P Composite 1500 Services & Supplies Index companies, final payout for the 2023-2025 Performance Share Program was at 67% of target. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;***Why you should support Say-on-Pay Proposal*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•ABM delivered record revenue and record new sales bookings in 2025, even as our clients operated in a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic environment.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Company's 2025 incentive payouts reflected our achievement in motivating our executives and other employees to achieve operational and financial goals that support our long-term business objectives and strategic priorities, and, in the case of the 2025 annual cash incentive, were paid on the basis of the collective achievement of 2025 financial targets.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We adopt pay programs that align the strategic priorities of the Company with the interests of stockholders while also serving to attract, motivate and retain a high-quality management team focused on ABM's strategy execution. ABM measures its progress against strategic priorities over the long-term, based primarily on financial metrics relating to revenue growth, profitability, cash flow and total shareholder returns. |

(1)Adjusted EBITDA, CIP Adjusted Net Income, M&A adjusted EBITDA, and M&A adjusted revenue are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these financial measures to the nearest GAAP financial measures or definitions of these measures are set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

***Pay-for-Performance Alignment*** 

The following graph provides a historical realizable pay-for-performance analysis for ABM's CEO against the Company's 2025 peer group for 2022–2024. The Company's relative pay and performance were strongly aligned over the period, with the relative TSR performance at the 55th percentile of the group and CEO realizable pay at the 41st percentile of the group. The Committee's independent consultant conducted the realizable pay-for-performance assessment in order to ensure alignment with our pay for performance philosophy. Our pay-for-performance alignment is attributable to setting appropriate and rigorous performance goals within the annual and long-term incentive plans, using incentive metrics that align with shareholder value creation, using a balanced mix of fixed vs. variable compensation and LTI vehicles, and providing competitive compensation opportunities.

***Fiscal Year 2024 "Say-on-Pay" Vote Results***

In March 2025, our say-on-pay proposal received 97.5% approval by our stockholders. The Committee and management are committed to continually strengthening our pay-for-performance correlation, as well as the overall design of our executive compensation program to support driving the right behaviors for sustainable success, aligning with best practices in corporate governance and reflecting the interests of our stockholders and stakeholders. The Committee and management use the annual say-on-pay vote as a guidepost for stockholder perspective and believe that this result indicates that our programs are aligned with stockholders' interests.

***Compensation Decision Process***

*Role of the Compensation Committee*

The Committee is responsible for the design of the Company's executive compensation program, and for reviewing the overall effectiveness of our executive compensation program to ensure the design achieves our objectives. The Committee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•approves CEO annual performance objectives and evaluates the CEO's annual performance in light of such objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•approves our compensation market analysis process, as well as the companies used for compensation and design comparison purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•approves performance metrics for our annual and long-term incentive compensation programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•follows a comprehensive goal setting process to ensure rigorous and fair goals are established under both our annual and long-term incentive plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•approves non-CEO executive officer compensation, based on recommendations from the CEO; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•performs an annual evaluation of risk as it pertains to our Company-wide incentive compensation plans and programs.

![img80260698_32.jpg](img80260698_32.jpg)<br>

Based on the Committee's assessment of the CEO's performance achievement against his performance objectives, the Committee recommends CEO compensation to the independent members of our Board. This recommendation includes base pay level, cash incentive compensation and equity awards. All elements of CEO pay are approved by the Board, with Mr. Salmirs recusing himself.

The Committee generally has the authority to delegate its authority to subcommittees or the Chair of the Committee, as well as to officers of the Company, when it deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company. The Committee has delegated authority to the chief executive officer to determine and approve equity awards for non-executive officer employees of the Company.

*Role of Compensation Consultants*

In 2025, the Committee continued to directly engage Pay Governance to serve as the Committee's independent compensation consultant. The Committee takes into consideration the advice of its independent consultant to inform its decision-making process and has sole authority for retaining and terminating its consultant, as well as approving the terms of engagement, including fees. Services provided by the consultant to the Committee relating to executive compensation include: attend Committee meetings to present and offer independent recommendations, insights and perspectives on executive compensation matters; assess our Compensation Comparator Group ("CCG") used for compensation decisions; assess how our executive compensation program aligns with pay for performance; review targeted pay levels and the mix of principal compensation components for the CEO and other NEOs; advise on annual and long-term incentive design and plan structure, performance goals, award opportunities and vesting conditions; and update the Committee on emerging trends and best practices in the area of executive compensation. The Committee meets multiple times throughout the year with the compensation consultant in executive session without management present. The compensation consultant works for the Committee and, with the approval of the Committee, has also provided services to the Governance Committee in connection with director compensation matters. Pay Governance does not provide any other services to the Company. The Committee has determined Pay Governance to be independent from management and that its engagement did not present any conflicts of interest. From time to time, the Committee may engage other consultants and advisors in connection with various compensation and benefits matters.

The Company's management retains Willis Towers Watson as its primary compensation consultant to advise on program design, apprise management of evolving practices and trends, and perform other consulting services as needed.

*Role of the CEO*

The CEO makes recommendations to the Committee on the base salary, annual cash incentive targets, and equity awards for all executive officers other than himself. These recommendations are based on his assessment of each executive officer's performance during the year and his review of, among other things, competitive market data and analysis of each specific executive's role.

*Use of Market Data and Our Compensation Comparator Group*

The Committee uses compensation at our comparator group as one of its tools in connection with its assessment of our executive compensation programs and levels of compensation. Working with Pay Governance, the Committee regularly reviews the various criteria by which it selects the CCG. Companies in our CCG are generally selected with reference to the following criteria:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•companies, like ABM, that provide business-to-business services, such as outsourcing, logistics management, food service, staffing, and cleaning;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•companies in other industries that have a high ratio of employees to revenue or market capitalization; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•companies that generate annual revenue comparable to ABM.

The Committee's decisions relating to NEO pay are informed by its review of the compensation practices reported in the proxy statements filed by the companies in the CCG. The Committee believes that this proxy data provides a reasonable indicator of total compensation paid by companies that recruit executives with skill sets similar to those which we seek in our executives. Compensation for our executives is typically managed within the ranges of compensation paid by companies in the CCG. While the Committee normally references the CCG median (50th percentile) for each compensation element, the Committee uses its judgment to determine pay levels necessary to pay for performance and attract and retain executive talent. The Committee places significant weight on individual job performance, experience, compensation history, future potential, internal comparisons, affordability, retention risk, and in the case of executives other than the CEO, the CEO's recommendations.

In September 2024, the Committee reviewed the CCG and determined for fiscal year 2025 to maintain the current peer group as each company remained within the Company's selection criteria.

***Elements of Compensation***

The material components of our executive compensation program and their purposes and characteristics are summarized below.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Pay Element** | **Description and Purpose** | **Link to Business and Strategy** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Base salary – payable in cash | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Fixed compensation, designed to recognize individual responsibilities, performance, leadership skills and time in role; annual review and adjustment, if appropriate | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Competitive base pay intended to attract and retain strong executive talent capable of leading the Company in our dynamic and competitive environment |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Annual short-term incentives – payable in cash<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Variable, at-risk compensation designed to reward annual performance related to Company key financial and operational measures as well as individual objectives | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Design of short-term incentives is evaluated annually for alignment with Company strategy; metrics are focused on financial and individual performance targets aligned with short-term company objectives |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Long-term incentives – structured as equity awards, settled in Company stock<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Variable, at-risk compensation that consists of a mix of performance-based and time-based equity awards; designed to motivate and retain our NEOs to achieve the Company's long-term goals aligning them with the interests of our stockholders | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Programs are evaluated annually for alignment with achievement of Company's long-term strategic objectives; metric selection aligned with achieving business strategy and priorities in the long-term |

Using the elements of compensation described above, we structure our program in a way that places a significant portion of our executives' compensation at risk. At-risk compensation includes: annual cash incentive compensation ("Bonus") that is tied to annual financial, safety and individual performance measures; performance-based equity awards that are paid only if performance metrics established at the beginning of the three-year performance period are met ("PSs"); and time-based equity awards ("RSUs" together with PSs, "LTIs"). As reflected in the charts below, approximately 89% of our CEO's compensation is at risk. Approximately 77% of our other NEOs' compensation is at risk.

**HOW WE COMPENSATED OUR NEOs IN 2025** 

***2025 Base Salary***

The Committee reviews total compensation, including base salaries, for executives in the first quarter of each fiscal year, and as needed, in connection with recruitment, promotions or other changes in responsibilities that occur during the year.

***2025 Annual Cash Incentive Compensation***

Each year, the Committee reviews the Company's strategic and financial plan and key business objectives to align the CIP with the achievement of the Company's goals. The metrics in the CIP have been selected to focus on driving sustainable, long-term value for our stockholders, as demonstrated by financial, safety and strategic goal achievement.

The Committee reviews the design, metrics and performance level requirements for the CIP annually, establishes the relative weightings of Financial Objectives, Safety Objectives and Personal Objectives for the CEO and all NEOs at the beginning of the year, and evaluates performance achieved against the objectives to determine cash payouts earned under the CIP.

Each of our NEOs was eligible to earn an annual cash incentive award under the CIP in fiscal year 2025.

*<u>2025 Financial and Safety Objectives for the CIP</u>*

For 2025, the Committee set Financial Objectives to incentivize top-line growth and bottom-line profitability and set 2025 Safety Objectives to drive continued improvement on key measures of workplace safety.

*<u>Funding Levels and Payouts Under CIP for NEOs in 2025</u>* 

In December 2024, the Committee approved rigorous financial goals under the CIP that were based on the Company's business plan, which is approved by the full Board. The Committee approved the goals with a holistic view of the prior year's performance, the expected fiscal year 2025 performance of the Company, and macroeconomic factors impacting the Company. The Company's financial and safety performance in 2025 resulted in a combined funding level for Financial Objectives and Safety Objectives that was at target, with Organic Revenue and Safety funding above target, and CIP Adjusted Net Income funding slightly below target. In combination, Financial Objectives and Safety Objectives are used to determine 80% of the annual CIP opportunity for the NEOs, and Personal Objectives are used to determine 20% of the annual CIP opportunity for the NEOs.

(1) Pursuant to his Separation Agreement, Mr. Ellis remained eligible to earn his annual cash incentive award under the CIP for fiscal year 2025 based on the Company's performance for the entire fiscal year (with his Personal Objectives deemed earned at target). The award was prorated to reflect the portion of the fiscal year during which Mr. Ellis was employed.

***Equity Incentive Compensation***

*Annual Equity Awards*

The Committee believes that a long-term incentive program motivates and rewards our executive officers for their contributions to our Company's performance and serves to align long-term compensation with the performance of Company stock. In fiscal year 2025, the Committee approved a long-term compensation program for our NEOs which included equity awards allocated among (i) time-based RSUs (40% of total equity grant at target), which vest ratably over a three-year period, and (ii) PSs with a TSR-modifier ("2025-2027 TSR-Modified Performance Shares") (60% of total equity grant at target), which are based on Company financial metrics, M&A adjusted EBITDA (75% weighting) and M&A adjusted revenue (25% weighting) (the definitions for such metrics are set forth in Appendix A). Such 2025-2027 TSR-Modified Performance Shares will vest, if earned, based on the average funding of three, one-year performance periods (November 1, 2024 – October 31, 2025; November 1, 2025 – October 31, 2026; and November 1, 2026 – October 31, 2027). The payout for year one will be based on performance against the Company's budget, with years two and three based on actual year over year growth versus targets calculated using an established standard growth rate set at the beginning of the three-year performance period. Possible funding levels of financial metrics are 0% to 200%, subject to modification via a multiplier on a scale of 80% to 120% of the earned award based on the Company's TSR performance relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Commercial Services & Supplies Index over the three-year performance period from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027. Possible payouts for the 2025-2027 TSR-Modified Performance Shares range from 0% to 240% of target based on achievement of the Company financial metric goals (as adjusted by the TSR-modifier).

The Committee considers market data and the mix of compensation at risk when establishing the long-term incentive opportunity for each NEO. Generally, the Committee approves an equity award at a specific dollar value for each recipient based on a multiple of the recipient's base salary. The dollar value of the award is determined after taking into consideration various factors, including a market analysis prepared by the Committee's consultant and the overall mix of performance-based compensation. The Committee believes that a meaningful portion of equity compensation should be performance-based.

The Committee has set performance goals that it believes are challenging, but attainable, with significant effort on the part of the Company. Please see Appendix A for a discussion regarding how these measures are calculated from the Company's financial statements. For additional information on our NEOs' fiscal year 2025 equity awards, please see "Grants of Plan-Based Awards During Fiscal Year 2025."

(1)The grant date fair value of the PSs was calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using a Monte Carlo simulation that used various assumptions including an expected term based on the period from the grant date to October 31, 2027 (the last day of the performance period), an expected volatility of 31.66% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.26%.

(2)The grant date fair value of the RSUs represents the closing price per share of ABM common stock on the grant date.

(3)On July 1, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved an additional grant of RSUs and Performance Shares to Mr. Orr in connection with his promotion, with an aggregate value of $449,940. The award was intended to align Mr. Orr's compensation with the scope of his new responsibilities. The awards have the same terms and vesting schedules as the other fiscal year 2025 equity awards described above.

(4)In connection with his termination from the Company on September 5, 2025, Mr. Ellis forfeited his fiscal year 2025 equity awards.

*<u>2023-2025 Performance Share Overview</u>*

In fiscal year 2023, we granted PSs with a TSR-modifier ("2023-2025 TSR-Modified Performance Shares"), which could be earned, if at all, based on Company financial metrics comprised of M&A adjusted EBITDA (75% weighting) and organic revenue (25% weighting) (reconciliations for such metrics are set forth in Appendix A). The 2023-2025 TSR-Modified Performance Shares earned were calculated at the end of the three-year period (November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2025) based on the average funding of three, one-year performance periods (November 1, 2022 – October 31, 2023; November 1, 2023 – October 31, 2024; and November 1, 2024 – October 31, 2025). Performance is measured annually for each performance measure and the payout is determined at the end of the three-year period. The goals associated with the first year of the performance period are based on the Company's budget and the performance goals for years two and three are based on pre-determined growth rates over prior year performance as established at the beginning of the performance period. The final payout based on Company financial metrics was subject to modification via a multiplier on a scale of 80% to 120% of the earned award based on the Company's TSR performance relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Commercial Services & Supplies Index over the three-year performance period. Possible payouts for the 2023-2025 TSR-Modified Performance Shares ranged from 0-240% of target based on achievement of the Company financial metric goals (as adjusted by the TSR-modifier, as set forth in the tables below).

Award funding levels for the 2023-2025 TSR-Modified Performance Shares as to the financial metrics are set forth in the following table. The achievement levels are measured against budgeted performance in year one and against the pre-determined growth rates in years two and three.

For the three-year performance period, the Company's TSR performance ranked in the 10th percentile of the S&P Composite 1500 Commercial Services & Supplies Index, resulting in a modification under the 2023-2025 TSR-Modified Performance Shares of 80%. Applying this modifier to the Company's weighted payout results based on Company financial metrics (84%) resulted in a final payout for the 2023-2025 TSR-Modified Performance Shares at 67% of target.

(1)Includes dividend equivalent units accrued on earned shares as of January 10, 2026.

(2)Mr. Orr's 2023-2025 performance shares were earned at 84% of target, as he was not an executive officer at the time of the grant of the 2023-2025 PSs and therefore his shares were not subject to the TSR modifier.

(3)Pursuant to the terms of his Separation Agreement and the 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, Mr. Ellis' Target award was pro-rated based on his termination date.

**Other Compensation and Governance-Related Matters**

***Employment and Change-in-Control Agreements***

Each of our NEOs has entered into an employment agreement with the Company. The form of agreement reflects an "at-will" employment relationship, while at the same time affording some income security by specifying certain severance payments upon involuntary or constructive termination. Under the terms of these employment agreements, an executive whose employment is terminated without cause by the Company, or who resigns for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the NEOs' respective employment agreements), will be entitled to receive a multiple (2.5 for Mr. Salmirs; 2.0 for Messrs. Orr, Jacobsen, Valentin, Mahoney, and Ellis) of the sum of his base salary and target bonus, as well as a prorated portion of his annual bonus for the year of termination and 18 months of health insurance reimbursements. If Messrs. Salmirs, Orr, Jacobsen, Valentin, or Mahoney, voluntarily leaves the Company at age 60 or older with 10 years of service their equity awards granted after the effective date of the employment agreement but at least one year prior to such retirement will continue to vest, in accordance with the terms of those awards. These employment agreements also provide that following termination of employment for any reason, the officer will refrain from competing with, or soliciting the employees or customers of, the Company for one year following the termination of employment. Mr. Ellis was terminated without cause by the Company and became entitled to certain payments and benefits as described under "Potential Post-Employment Payments."

In order to assure continuity of ABM's senior management in the event of a potential change-in-control of the Company, ABM provides our NEOs with "double-trigger" severance benefits should their employment with ABM be terminated following a change in control. The current change-in-control agreements provide double-trigger severance benefits if the officer is terminated without cause, or resigns for "good reason," within two years following a change-in-control. These benefits consist of a lump-sum payment equal to a multiple (3.0 for Mr. Salmirs; 2.5 for Messrs. Orr, Jacobsen, Valentin, Mahoney, and Ellis) of the sum of his base salary and target bonus; a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of health and welfare benefits for 18 months; and accelerated vesting of equity awards. There are no excise tax gross-ups under the change-in-control agreements. Instead, any such payments and benefits are subject to reduction in order to avoid the application of the excise tax on "excess parachute payments" under the Internal Revenue Code, but generally only if the reduction would increase the net after-tax amount received by the officer. Mr. Ellis's change-in-control agreement terminated by its terms upon Mr. Ellis ceasing to be a full-time employee of the Company.

For a summary of the executives' employment and change-in-control agreements in effect during fiscal year 2025, see "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control."

***Stock Ownership Guidelines*** 

The Company has stock ownership guidelines for certain officers, including our NEOs. Executives are expected to achieve their targets within five years of becoming subject to the stock ownership policy. Stock ownership guidelines are based on a multiple of base salary. Individuals who have not met their stock ownership level at the end of the applicable five-year period are expected to retain 50% of their after-tax net shares paid under any Company long-term incentive plan or program, such as shares paid out under the PS program and vested RSUs, until their ownership guidelines are satisfied. The Committee periodically reviews the stock ownership guidelines and may make adjustments to these guidelines to the extent it believes such adjustments are appropriate. Progress toward targeted ownership levels may be taken into consideration in future grants to executives. Unvested RSUs are taken into consideration when determining if ownership guidelines have been achieved; however, unearned PSs are not included, nor are stock options, whether vested or unvested. Current stock ownership guidelines are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Position** | **Requirements** |
| CEO | Shares with a fair market value equal to six times base salary |
| Executive Vice Presidents | Shares with a fair market value equal to three times base salary |
| Senior Vice Presidents and certain subsidiary senior officers | Shares with a fair market value equal to base salary |

---

All of our NEOs have either met or exceeded their stock ownership guidelines or are well positioned to achieve compliance within the required time period.

***Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies***

Directors, executive officers and other employees are prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions with respect to our securities. "Hedging transactions" can be accomplished through a number of possible mechanisms, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or through other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our securities. Because hedging transactions might permit a director, executive officer or other employee to continue to own our securities, whether obtained through our equity compensation plans or otherwise, without the full rewards and risks of ownership, such hedging transactions are prohibited. We also prohibit pledging, or using as collateral, Company stock to secure personal loans or other obligations.

*I****nsider Trading Policy***

We have an insider trading policy ("Insider Trading Policy") governing the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers, and employees, or ABM itself, that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any applicable listing standards.

A copy of our Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit 19 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025.

***Annual Compensation-Related Risk Evaluation***

We annually review risks associated with our executive compensation program, as well as our other broad-based employee incentive programs, with respect to enterprise risk factors, with the assistance of management's compensation consultant, Willis Towers Watson, which prepares an annual risk analysis. The Committee and its independent compensation consultant, Pay Governance, review this analysis. In connection with its 2025 review, the Committee noted the various ways in which risk is managed or mitigated. Practices and policies mitigating risks included the balance of corporate, business unit and individual weightings in incentive compensation programs, the mix between long-term and short-term incentives, use of stock ownership requirements, the Company's policy prohibiting hedging and pledging, and the Company's recoupment or "clawback" policy. Based on this review, the Committee agreed with the findings in the analysis that the Company's compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

***Clawback Policy***

In accordance with the requirements of the NYSE listing standards, we maintain the ABM Industries Incorporated Amended and Restated Recoupment Policy (the "Clawback Policy"), an executive officer clawback policy that empowers the Company to recover certain incentive compensation erroneously awarded to a current or former "Section 16 officer" of the Company, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act (a "Covered Officer"), in the event of an accounting restatement. Unless an exception applies, the Company will recover reasonably promptly from each Covered Officer the applicable incentive compensation received by such Covered Officer in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws as provided in the Clawback Policy.

***Special Forfeiture and Repayment Rights in the Event of Serious Misconduct (Other Clawback/Forfeiture Rights)***

Pursuant to the terms and conditions applicable to cash and equity incentive awards, if the Board or applicable committee determines that an employee has engaged in conduct that constitutes "cause" (as defined in such terms and conditions and including serious misconduct, dishonesty, disloyalty, conviction of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, failure to substantially perform employment-related duties or responsibilities, and material breach of the Company's code of conduct), then (i) outstanding unvested or unexercised equity awards will be terminated and forfeited, (ii) restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares, and performance units that vested within a certain period immediately prior to the date it is determined that the employee engaged in conduct constituting cause (the "Determination Date") will be required to be repaid to the Company, (iii) the Board or such committee may rescind any awards made to the employee within a certain period immediately prior to the Determination Date, and (iv) the Board or such committee may seek the recovery of any gains realized from the sale or disposition of shares issued pursuant to awards within a certain period immediately prior to the Determination Date.

***Benefits and Perquisites***

The NEOs are eligible for customary employee benefits, which include participation in ABM's 401(k) Plan, as well as group life, health and accidental death and disability insurance programs and the Company's voluntary deferred compensation plan. In addition, the NEOs are eligible for an executive physical to promote their health and safety. These and certain other perquisites are set forth in the 2025, 2024 and 2023 Summary Compensation Table.

The NEOs are eligible to participate in ABM's Employee Deferred Compensation Plan, which is an unfunded deferred compensation plan available to highly compensated employees. The Employee Deferred Compensation Plan benefits are shown in the "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2025" table, followed by a description of the plan. The Committee regularly reviews the benefits provided under this and other plans, and as a result of such a review, in January 2011, the Company entered into a trust agreement that will fund amounts due under the Employee Deferred Compensation Plan in the event of a change in control of ABM.

**COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT**

The Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on its review and discussions with management, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in ABM's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 and the Proxy Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The values shown are the aggregate grant date fair values for PS and RSU awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures, based on target levels of achievement (the probable outcome at grant), in the case of PSs. A discussion of assumptions used in calculating these values may be found in Note 16, "Share-Based Compensation Plans," in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025. The target values for 2025-2027 TSR-Modified Performance Shares granted in fiscal year 2025 under the 2025-2027 Performance Share Program are as follows: Mr. Salmirs, $3,128,594; Mr. Orr, $331,874; Mr. Jacobsen, $1,054,962; Mr. Valentin, $582,048; Mr. Mahoney, $437,138; and Mr. Ellis, $763,938. The maximum possible values for 2025-2027 TSR-Modified Performance Shares granted in fiscal year 2025 under the 2025-2027 Performance Share Program are as follows: Mr. Salmirs, $7,508,626; Mr. Orr, $760,653; Mr. Jacobsen, $2,531,909; Mr. Valentin, $1,396,915; Mr. Mahoney, $1,049,131; and Mr. Ellis, $1,833,451. These values are calculated using the October 31, 2025 closing price of $43.00 per share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Amounts shown in this column represent annual performance-based cash payments under the CIP, as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)The Company factors the dollar value of dividends or other earnings paid on stock awards into the aggregate grant date fair value calculations reflected in the "Stock Awards" column of this table. For fiscal year 2025, this column represents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•for Mr. Salmirs: ABM contributions to the 401(k) plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•for Mr. Orr: ABM contributions to the 401(k) plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•for Mr. Jacobsen: ABM contributions to the 401(k) plan, and car allowance.

The total also includes $14,000 representing ABM contributions to the 401(k) plan. The total in this column excludes a pro-rata portion of Mr. Ellis's unvested 2023 and 2024 PSs (32,547, in the aggregate with an aggregate value of $1,399,521 assuming target performance) that were deemed to remain eligible for vesting following his departure from ABM but for which the attributable values are indeterminable because such awards are still subject to the future attainment of performance goals. The values of such unvested PSs are included in the 2023 and 2024 rows of the "Stock Awards" column.

All Other Compensation excludes expense reimbursements and company paid life insurance, as it is paid on the same basis as all other employees.

(4)Includes fiscal year-end value of RSUs deferred in prior years (60,214 for Mr. Salmirs); also includes dividend equivalents credited in 2025 with respect to such deferred RSUs. These values are calculated using the October 31, 2025 closing price of $43.00 per share. These deferred grants were included in the "Stock Awards" column in the fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2018 Summary Compensation Tables.

ABM's Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation plan available to the NEOs and other employees whose annualized base salary exceeds $180,000. A trust agreement was put into place in January 2011 to provide that, in the event of a "change-in-control" as defined in the plan, the trust will be funded in an amount necessary to cover liabilities under the plan.

The ABM Deferred Compensation Plan allows participants to make pretax contributions from 1% to 50% of their compensation, including base pay and bonuses. Elections to defer base salary must be made no later than December 31 of the year preceding the year in which deferral begins. Elections to defer performance-based bonuses must be made no later than six months prior to the end of the applicable performance period. Executives may elect to receive distributions from the ABM Deferred Compensation Plan following termination of employment or on specified in-service distribution dates. Distributions may be made in a single lump sum, four annual installments or 10 annual installments, based on earlier elections made in accordance with the plan provisions. In addition, if a participant wants to change his or her distribution, the change cannot be effective for at least 12 months, and the date of payment must be at least five years after the previously scheduled date of distribution. The ABM Deferred Compensation Plan also permits hardship distributions. Deferred amounts earn interest equal to the prime interest rate on the last day of the calendar quarter up to 6%. If the prime rate exceeds 6%, the interest rate is equal to 6% plus one-half of the excess prime rate over 6%. The interest rate is subject to a cap equal to 120% of the long-term applicable federal rate, compounded quarterly.

Certain executives may also elect to defer receipt of RSUs. Elections to defer receipt of RSUs must be made no later than December 31 of the year preceding the year in which any RSUs may be granted. The plan allows participants to defer up to 100% of their RSUs, and receive distributions in a lump sum, four annual installments or 10 annual installments, based on earlier elections made in accordance with plan provisions.

**POTENTIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT PAYMENTS** 

During fiscal year 2025, we were party to employment agreements with each of our NEOs, which included severance benefits upon certain terminations, as further described below, and twelve-month post-employment prohibitions on competition with the Company and solicitation of certain Company employees. The potential payments upon termination described in the following tables are based on the agreements with our NEOs that were in effect on October 31, 2025.

We were also party to change-in-control agreements with each NEO during fiscal year 2025, which provided additional severance benefits in the event of a termination following a change in control, as further described below. The "double-trigger" change-in-control benefits under our 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan are also described below. None of these arrangements included any excise tax gross-ups.

He ceased serving in his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on June 6, 2025, and subsequently remained an employee of the Company, serving in the non-executive role of Senior Advisor from June 7, 2025 through September 5, 2025 (the "Separation Date"). In connection with his termination and following his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims against the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of his Executive Employment Agreement with the Company, Separation Agreement, and applicable equity award documents, and subject to Code Section 409A, Mr. Ellis received or will receive the following payments and benefits: (i) cash payment of $2,835,000 (representing two times base salary and target bonus), to be made in equal installments over the 24-month period following the Separation Date; (ii) eligibility to earn his annual cash incentive award under the CIP for fiscal year 2025 based on the Company's performance for the entire fiscal year (with his Personal Objectives deemed earned at target) (earned and paid in the amount of $721,846); (iii) continued vesting of outstanding RSUs until the Separation Date; (iv) continued vesting of 2023 and 2024 outstanding PSs until the Separation Date (2023 PSs were earned and paid on a pro-rata basis in January 2026 (14,357 shares, with a value of $641,614 as of January 9, 2026) and 2024 PSs will be paid on a pro-rata basis (11,482 shares, with a value of $493,726 as of October 31, 2025, assuming target performance), if earned in January 2027, in each case, based on his service with the Company during the performance period); and (v) cash payment of $49,104 representing the full COBRA cost for continuing medical benefits. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Ellis remains subject to the restrictive covenants in his Employment Agreement, including 12-month non-competition and non-solicitation of employees and customers provisions, and confidentiality obligations.

(1)Amount assumes target bonus at fiscal year-end 2025.

(2)Multiple (3.0 for Mr. Salmirs; 2.5 for Messrs. Orr, Jacobsen, Valentin, and Mahoney) of the sum of base salary and target bonus for the year in which the change-in-control occurs.

(3)The amount shown is the estimated cost for health and welfare benefits for an 18-month period.

(4)The value is based on $43.00 per share, the closing price per share of ABM common stock on October 31, 2025. For PSs, amounts shown reflect vesting at target.

(5)Amounts do not include the aggregate balance at fiscal year-end of nonqualified deferred compensation. These amounts are reflected in the above table captioned "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2025." Amounts also do not include potential accrued but unused vacation and any unpaid base salary for employment through termination date. Amounts shown are subject to reduction, as described below. Equity grants under our 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan vest upon a change-in-control if the recipient is terminated without cause within 24 months following the change-in-control.

The change-in-control agreements with the NEOs provide that, if a change-in-control occurs, the executive will receive the following benefits upon involuntary termination of employment (other than for cause) or resignation for good reason (such as certain specified material changes in position or compensation) prior to the second anniversary of the change-in-control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a lump-sum payment equal to a multiple of the sum of base salary and target bonus (which multiple is 3.0 for Mr. Salmirs, 2.5 for Messrs. Orr, Jacobsen, Valentin, and Mahoney);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of health and welfare benefits for 18 months; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a lump-sum payment of any unpaid incentive compensation that was earned, accrued, allocated or awarded for a performance period that ended prior to the termination date, and a lump sum payment of any pro rata portion of any target amount for any unpaid incentive compensation for the performance period in which the termination takes place.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•RSUs and Performance Share awards granted under the 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan will become fully vested (in the case of performance awards, with performance at target) and all restrictions on such Awards will lapse if the Participant's employment is terminated without Cause or for good reason at any time during the 24-month period following the Change in Control.

A "change-in-control" of the Company occurs in any of the following scenarios:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•(i) any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) is or becomes the beneficial owner of more than 35% of the combined voting power of the stock of the Company or succeeds in having nominees as directors elected in an election contest and (ii) within 18 months after either such event, individuals who were members of the Board immediately prior to either such event cease to constitute a majority of the members of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a majority of the Board ceases to be composed of incumbent directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a merger or similar business combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a sale of substantially all of the Company's assets; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a liquidation of the Company.

None of our NEOs have excise tax gross-ups. Instead, payments and benefits under the change-in-control agreements (as well as under all other agreements or plans covering the NEOs, including any equity award, plan or agreement) are subject to reduction in order to avoid the application of the excise tax on "excess parachute payments," but only if the reduction would increase the net after-tax amount received by the NEO (the modified cap), with one exception. The exception is that any reduction will not be made if, on a net after-tax basis, such reduction would result in an NEO receiving less than 90% of the severance payment he or she would otherwise be entitled to under the change-in-control agreement or under any other agreement. In consideration for the protection afforded by the change-in-control agreements, the NEOs agreed to noncompetition and non-solicitation provisions.

(1)Under the terms of their respective employment and equity award agreements, certain equity awards for Messrs. Salmirs and Jacobsen would continue to vest upon their retirement (subject to their compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non-competition). Under the terms of their award agreements, certain awards would be prorated for Messrs. Valentin and Mahoney, with the RSUs vested upon retirement and the PSs upon the actual vest date. The values represented were calculated using $43.00 per share, the closing price per share of ABM common stock on October 31, 2025, multiplied by the applicable number of shares relating to the equity awards (at a target award level in the case of the PSs).

(2)Amounts do not include the aggregate balance at fiscal year-end of nonqualified deferred compensation. These amounts are reflected in the above table captioned "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2025." Amounts also do not include accrued but unused vacation pay and any accrued but unpaid base salary for employment through the retirement date.

Under the terms of their respective employment agreements, any equity-based awards received by Messrs. Salmirs and Jacobsen would continue to vest in the event of their respective retirements, if they were granted at least one year prior to their respective retirement dates, on the originally scheduled vesting dates of the awards (subject to the achievement of performance criteria, in the cause of PSs). Under the terms of the 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, Messrs. Valentin's and Mahoney's awards would be prorated to the retirement date, if they were granted at least one year prior to his retirement date, with the RSUs vesting upon retirement and the PSs upon the originally scheduled vesting dates of the awards (subject to the achievement of performance criteria).

**Potential Payments upon Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason**

The following table estimates potential payments for each NEO if the NEO's employment with ABM had been terminated without cause or if the NEO resigned for good reason (outside of a change-in-control) effective October 31, 2025. All amounts are lump-sum payments, unless otherwise noted.

Under his employment agreement in effect during fiscal year 2025, Mr. Salmirs would receive 2.5 times the sum of his base salary and target cash incentive compensation, 18 months medical benefits coverage, his prorated cash bonus for the year of termination based on the Committee's determination of actual performance following the end of the performance period, and any earned but unpaid cash bonus in respect of any completed fiscal year that has ended prior to the date of such termination if he is terminated without "cause," subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims against the Company and continued compliance with restrictive covenants under the agreement. Under the terms of their respective employment agreements in effect during fiscal year 2025, and in connection with a termination of employment by the Company without cause, Messrs. Orr, Jacobsen, Valentin, and Mahoney would each receive 2.0 times the sum of base salary plus target cash incentive compensation, 18 months medical benefits coverage, prorated cash bonus for the year of termination based on the Committee's determination of actual performance following the end of the performance period, and any earned but unpaid cash bonus in respect of any completed fiscal year that has ended prior to the date of such termination, in each case subject to such person's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims against the Company and continued compliance with restrictive covenants under the agreement.

Performance awards granted under the 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan generally vest pro rata (based on the number of months of services of the vesting period) in the event of a termination without cause at least one year after the grant date.

**2025 CEO Pay Ratio**

In accordance with SEC rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our median employee and the annual total compensation of Mr. Salmirs, our CEO. The 2025 annual total compensation of Mr. Salmirs was $9,111,185; and the 2025 annual total compensation of the median compensated employee was $41,638 (in each case, with annual total compensation calculated in accordance with the SEC rules applicable to the Summary Compensation Table). The ratio of these amounts was 219:1.

We believe the pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records. Consistent with Instruction 2 to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, the applicable SEC rule, we may identify our median employee for purposes of providing pay ratio disclosure once every three years and calculate and disclose total compensation for that employee each year in the subsequent three-year period. The pay ratio analysis of our employee population for purposes of our 2025 pay ratio disclosure was conducted with October 31, 2024 as the determination date to identify our median employee. In 2025, we determined there had been no change in our employee population or employee compensatory arrangements that would have significantly impacted the 2024 CEO pay ratio disclosure and required us to identify a new median employee for purposes of our 2025 pay ratio disclosure. However, our 2024 median employee experienced a change in circumstances in 2025, and consistent with SEC rules, for 2025, we chose to use a substitute employee who was immediately adjacent to the initial median employee and had substantially similar compensation to that of the initial median employee based on the compensation measure we had used to select the initial median employee.

We identified the median employee using base salary for each employee paid in that fiscal year (other than Mr. Salmirs), which we annualized for any permanent employee who did not work for the entire year (but did not annualize for temporary or seasonal employees). For purposes of identifying the median employee, we converted amounts paid in foreign currencies to U.S. dollars based on the applicable average exchange rate.

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

(3) For each year, total shareholder return for the Company and the peer group was calculated as the yearly percentage change in cumulative total shareholder return based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 at market close on October 30, 2020 and in accordance with Items 201(e) and 402(v) of Regulation S-K. For purposes of this pay versus performance disclosure, the Peer Group for which Total Shareholder Return is provided in column (g) is the S&P Composite 1500 – Commercial Services and Supplies industry index (the "Peer Group"). Because fiscal years are presented in the table in reverse chronological order (from top to bottom), the table should be read from bottom to top for purposes of understanding cumulative returns over time.

(4) CIP Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measure, Net Income, are set forth in Appendix A.

(5) 2024 TSR for ABM has been corrected for a missed dividend.

**PROPOSAL 3–RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING October 31, 2026**

**Proposal Summary**

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026, which ends October 31, 2026. Although the Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee and the Board submit the selected firm to the Company's stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance.

**Board Recommendation**

**The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026.** 

The Audit Committee has selected KPMG to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026. Although action by the stockholders on this matter is not required, the Audit Committee values stockholder views on the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and believes it is appropriate to seek stockholder ratification of this selection. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm may be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time of the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Representatives of KPMG are expected to attend the Annual Meeting, and they will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. It is expected that the KPMG representatives will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

**Voting**

Unless contrary instructions are received, the shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted "FOR" this proposal, which would be your vote to ratify the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026.

**AUDIT-RELATED MATTERS**

**Audit Committee Report**

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of ABM's financial reporting process. The Audit Committee's responsibilities are more fully described in its charter, which is available on ABM's website under "Governance" at http://investor.abm.com/corporate-governance.cfm.

Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the financial reporting process, including the system of internal control over financial reporting. KPMG LLP, ABM's independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of ABM's consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the fair presentation of those financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. KPMG LLP is also responsible for performing an audit of and expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of ABM's internal control over financial reporting, and for reporting the results of their audit to the Audit Committee.

As part of the oversight of the Company's financial statements, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the fair presentation of all annual and quarterly financial statements prior to their issuance and other financial disclosures as appropriate. The Audit Committee discussed with ABM's senior internal audit executive and independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their respective audits, their evaluation of ABM's internal controls and the overall quality of ABM's financial reporting processes.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management. Management of ABM has affirmed to the Audit Committee that ABM's fiscal year 2025 audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm ABM's fiscal year 2025 audited consolidated financial statements, the firm's judgment as to the quality of ABM's accounting principles, and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm under the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") and the SEC. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its audit of the effectiveness of ABM's internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company and its management. As part of that review, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed the services provided by ABM's independent registered public accounting firm and has considered whether the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent from ABM and its management.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in ABM's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS**

As part of our Code of Business Conduct, directors, officers and employees are expected to make business decisions that are ethical and in the best interests of the Company, and not based upon personal interests or benefits. The Board recognizes that some transactions, arrangements, and relationships can present potential or actual conflicts of interest and create the appearance that Company decisions are based on considerations other than the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and has adopted a written Related Party Transaction Policy (the "Policy") governing these transactions. The Policy generally applies to "Related Party Transactions," defined as any transaction, arrangement, or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness), or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships, in which (i) the Company was, is or will be a participant and (ii) any of the following persons had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•any person who is or was since the beginning of the last fiscal year of the Company an executive officer, a director or nominee for election as a director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a person known to be a greater than 5% beneficial owner of any class of the Company's voting securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•an immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed or is a partner or principal or in a similar position, or in which such person has a greater than 10% beneficial ownership interest.

Pursuant to the Policy, the Governance Committee has the responsibility for conducting a reasonable prior review and oversight of all Related Party Transactions for potential conflicts of interest. In determining whether to approve a Related Party Transaction, the Governance Committee considers the following factors, among others: (i) the business purpose of the Related Party Transaction, (ii) whether the Related Party Transaction is entered into on an arms-length basis on terms fair to the Company, and (iii) whether such Related Party a Transaction would violate any other provision of the Policy, the Code of Business Conduct, or any other Company policy.

In the event that Company management, after consultation with the Company's General Counsel, determines that it is unreasonable or impractical to wait until a meeting of the Governance Committee to enter into a Related Party Transaction, the Chair of the Governance Committee may approve such Related Party Transaction in accordance with the Policy. Any such approval must be reported to and ratified by the Governance Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Further, in the event that the Company becomes aware of a Related Party Transaction that has not been the subject of a reasonable prior review and approval under the Policy, the Related Party Transaction will be reviewed by the Governance Committee as promptly as practicable for its action, which may include ratification, revision or termination of the Related Party Transaction.

If a Related Party Transaction is ongoing, the Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing such Related Party Transaction and may establish guidelines for the Company's management team to follow in its ongoing dealings with the related party. The Governance Committee, on at least an annual basis, will review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party to confirm that they are in compliance with the Governance Committee's guidelines and that the Related Party Transaction remains appropriate.

There were no Related Party Transactions during fiscal year 2025.

**DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS**

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires ABM's directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of ABM's securities to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on a review of the reporting forms and representations of its directors and officers, ABM believes that all forms required to be filed by such persons under Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis in fiscal year 2025, with the exception of (i) one Form 4 filing for Rene Jacobsen related to sales of shares that were reported on two transaction lines pursuant to his previously adopted 10b5-1 trading plan, that were reported late due to an administrative error, and (ii) one Form 3 filing for David Orr reporting an initial statement of beneficial ownership that was filed late as a result of delays in obtaining his EDGAR filing codes from the SEC.

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT** 

**THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING**

**Why did I receive a "Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials" instead of a full set of proxy materials?**

We are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via "Notice and Access" delivery pursuant to SEC rules. On February 13, 2026, we mailed to our stockholders (other than those who previously requested a printed set) a "Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials" containing instructions on how to access the proxy materials via the Internet. Utilizing this method of proxy delivery expedites receipt of proxy materials by our stockholders, reduces the cost of producing and mailing the full set of proxy materials and helps us contribute to sustainable practices. If you receive a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail. Instead, the Notice instructs you on how to access the proxy materials and vote over the Internet. If you received a Notice by mail and would like to receive paper copies of our proxy materials in the mail, you may follow the instruction in the Notice for making this request. The Notice also contains instructions on how you may request to receive an electronic copy of our proxy materials by email.

**When and where will the Annual Meeting be held?**

The Annual Meeting will take place virtually via live webcast on March 25, 2026, beginning at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ABM2026.

**What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting?**

All stockholders of record as of the Record Date, January 26, 2026, or their proxy holders, are welcome to attend the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, via webcast. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically in person.

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. You must enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank or other similar organization, you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name." You must enter the 16-digit control number found on your voting instruction form, evidencing your ownership of ABM Industries Incorporated common stock as of the record date, in order to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting.

The virtual Annual Meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, and cell phones) running the most updated version of applicable software and plugins. Participants should ensure they have a strong Internet connection wherever they intend to participate in the Annual Meeting. Participants should also allow plenty of time to log in and ensure that they can hear streaming audio prior to the start of the Annual Meeting. Recording of the event is strictly prohibited.

Additional information regarding matters addressing technical and logistical issues, including technical support during the Annual Meeting, will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ABM2026.

**Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?**

Holders of ABM common stock at the close of business on January 26, 2026 are entitled to receive the Notice and Proxy Statement and to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 58,884,299 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

**Will my vote be confidential?**

As a matter of policy, proxies, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are held confidentially by the Company. Such documents are available for examination only by the inspectors of election and certain employees who assist in the tabulation of votes. The vote of any individual stockholder will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet applicable legal requirements.

**What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?**

If your shares are registered in your name with ABM's transfer agent, Computershare, you are the "stockholder of record" of those shares. The Notice and Proxy Statement and any accompanying materials have been provided directly to you by ABM.

![img80260698_41.jpg](img80260698_41.jpg)<br>

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of those shares, and the Notice and Proxy Statement and any accompanying documents have been provided to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card or by following their instructions for voting by telephone or on the Internet.

**How do I vote?**

You may vote using any of the following methods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•online before the Annual Meeting: www.proxyvote.com (as described in the Notice). Proxies submitted via the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 24, 2026, or by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 22, 2026 for shares held in the ABM Employee Stock Purchase Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•by telephone using the toll-free phone number listed on your proxy card or voting instruction form. Proxies submitted via the telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 24, 2026, or by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 22, 2026 for shares held in the ABM Employee Stock Purchase Plan; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if you received physical proxy materials with an enclosed postage paid envelope, completing, signing, dating and mailing your proxy card or voting instruction form.

We encourage you to vote via the Internet. To vote online during the Annual Meeting, please visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ABM2026 and use the control number on your Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form.

**Your vote is important.**

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

If you are a stockholder of record, you can revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•giving written notice to our Corporate Secretary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•delivering a valid, later-dated proxy, or a later-dated vote by telephone or on the Internet, in a timely manner; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•voting online during the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other holder of record and following their instructions for how to do so.

All shares for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting.

**Can I access the 2026 proxy materials and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 on the Internet?** 

The Notice and Proxy Statement and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 are available on our website at www.abm.com. Instead of receiving future proxy statements and accompanying materials by mail, most stockholders can elect to receive an e-mail that will provide electronic links to them. Opting to receive your proxy materials online will conserve natural resources and will save us the cost of producing documents and mailing them to you, and will also give you an electronic link to the proxy voting site.

*Stockholders of Record:* If you vote on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, simply follow the prompts to enroll in the electronic proxy delivery service. You also may enroll in the electronic proxy delivery service at any time in the future by going directly to www.proxyvote.com and following the enrollment instructions.

*Beneficial Owners:* You also may be able to receive copies of these documents electronically. Please check the information provided in the proxy materials sent to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record regarding the availability of this service.

**Is there a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?**

For 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting and during the Annual Meeting, a list of registered stockholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for review by stockholders. If you would like to view the stockholder list in advance of the Annual Meeting, please contact Investor Relations at ir@abm.com. A list of registered stockholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available electronically to stockholders at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ABM2026 during the entirety of the Annual Meeting.

**What is a broker non-vote?**

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a "broker non-vote." In these cases, your shares are present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required under NYSE rules.

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, your broker has discretionary voting authority under NYSE rules to vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. However, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the election of twelve director nominees to serve one-year terms or the advisory approval of our executive compensation without instructions from you, in which case a broker non-vote will occur and your shares will not be voted on these matters.

**What is a quorum for the Annual Meeting?**

The holders of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

**What are the voting requirements to elect the directors and to approve each of the proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement?**

---

**How will my shares be voted at the Annual Meeting?**

At the Annual Meeting, the Proxy Committee, composed of LeighAnne G. Baker, Sudhakar Kesavan and Scott Salmirs, appointed by the Board will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign your proxy card and return it without indicating how you would like to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as the Board recommends, which is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**FOR** the election of each of the twelve director nominees to serve one-year terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**FOR** the advisory approval of our executive compensation;

![img80260698_41.jpg](img80260698_41.jpg)<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**FOR** the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026;

**Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?**

The Board is not aware of any matters that are expected to come before the 2026 Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement (see "Other Business" below).

If you return your signed and completed proxy card or voting instruction card, or vote by telephone or on the Internet and other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, the Proxy Committee appointed by the Board will have the discretion to vote for you on such matters and intends to vote the proxies in accordance with its best judgment.

**Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?**

ABM will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by our directors, officers or employees in person or by telephone, mail, electronic transmission and/or facsimile transmission. They will not receive any additional compensation for these activities.

**Who will count the votes?**

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will be the proxy tabulator, and American Election Services, LLC will act as the inspector of election. Such inspector will be present at the Annual Meeting to process the votes cast by our stockholders, make a report of inspection, count the votes cast by our stockholders and certify as to the number of votes cast on each proposal.

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

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address and the same last name (or the company reasonably believes that they all are members of the same family) by delivering a single set of proxy materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers engage in householding, delivering a single set of proxy materials to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once stockholders have received notice from their broker or the Company that proxy materials will be sent in the householding manner to the stockholder's address, householding will continue until otherwise notified or until the stockholder revokes such consent. If, at any time, stockholders no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive separate proxy materials, they should notify their broker if their shares are held in a brokerage account, or the Company if they hold registered shares. The Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Notice, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 or Proxy Statement, as applicable, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered. To request the start or end of householding, stockholders should notify their broker or the Company. Any such written notice directed to the Company should be addressed to the Investor Relations department of ABM Industries Incorporated, One Liberty Plaza, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10006, or oral notice may be given by calling the Company at (212) 297-0200:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•to receive a separate copy of the Notice, Proxy Card, Annual Report, or Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•to receive separate copies of proxy materials for future meetings; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if the stockholder shares an address and wishes to request delivery of a single copy of annual reports or proxy statements, rather than receiving multiple copies.

**Where can I find the voting results from the Annual Meeting?**

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final results on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

(1)The Company adjusts net income to exclude the impact of certain items that are unusual, non-recurring, or otherwise do not reflect management's view of the underlying operational results and trends of the Company. Please refer to the Company's Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results press release for a full list of Items Impacting Comparability.

(2)After communications with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have revised our external definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, to no longer exclude the positive or negative impact of "prior year self-insurance adjustments". However, we continue to exclude "prior year self-insurance adjustments" from our results in order to calculate payment amounts for our incentive plans (CIP and Performance Shares). Prior year self-insurance adjustment represents adjustments to our self-insurance reserve for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile and medical and dental insurance claims related to prior period accident years. These prior year adjustments reflect developments of claims that could date back many years and are often influenced by unpredictable changes in regulatory, legal or medical trends that management has little ability to influence. As a result, these adjustments can also change in value significantly from period-to-period, including reversing positive or negative adjustments.

(1)The Company adjusts net income to exclude the impact of certain items that are unusual, non-recurring, or otherwise do not reflect management's view of the underlying operational results and trends of the Company. Please refer to the Company's Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results press release for a full list of Items Impacting Comparability.

(2)After communications with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have revised our external definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, to no longer exclude the positive or negative impact of "prior year self-insurance adjustments". However, we continue to exclude "prior year self-insurance adjustments" from our results in order to calculate payment amounts for our incentive plans (CIP and Performance Shares). Prior year self-insurance adjustment represents adjustments to our self-insurance reserve for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile and medical and dental insurance claims related to prior period accident years. These prior year adjustments reflect developments of claims that could date back many years and are often influenced by unpredictable changes in regulatory, legal or medical trends that management has little ability to influence. As a result, these adjustments can also change in value significantly from period-to-period, including reversing positive or negative adjustments.
