On March 15, 2023, Emma McTague accepted an appointment by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (the "Company") to become a director of the Company, effective immediately.

The Board determined that Ms. McTague will be an "independent" director under New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Ms. McTague will serve on the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.

Ms. McTague is a member of the Executive Advisory Board for West Virginia University's Master of Science in Human Resource Management program.

The Board appointed Ms. McTague as a director due to her extensive experience managing human capital, executive compensation and benefits, including as chief human resources officer of a large public company.

Ms. McTague will participate in the Company's outside director compensation program. Upon appointment to the Board, she received a grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") valued at approximately $130,000.
