**Leadership Talking Points**

***What We Announced***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Today we announced Patrick and Lippert will combine in an all-stock merger creating a premier component solutions provider for the outdoor enthusiast, housing, and transportation markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This merger combines two companies with complementary product portfolios and longstanding partnerships with customers and stakeholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• There will be compelling financial benefits underpinned by strong cash flow generation and a solid balance sheet to drive continued growth and disciplined capital allocation strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Following completion of the transaction, Patrick shareholders will own approximately 52% of the combined company, and Lippert shareholders will own approximately 48%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The move accelerates shareholder value creation, with $150 million of estimated run-rate synergies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Andy Nemeth will serve as the CEO of the combined company. Todd Cleveland will serve as Chairman of the combined company Board, and Johnny Sirpilla will serve as Vice Chairman of the combined company Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This is an exciting new chapter in the evolution of our two companies as we continue on our journey to positively impact and deliver value for our customers, our team members, shareholders, and the communities we serve.

***Why Now***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Over the past few years, Patrick has achieved strong growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have expanded our business by deepening customer relationships, diversifying our portfolio through strategic acquisitions, and driving innovation to enhance our capabilities and improve the consumer experience.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At the same time, we are always looking for opportunities to better position our company and improve our resiliency through economic cycles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It is a transformational time in the marketplace and as such, our Board of Directors decided now is the right time to combine with Lippert.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our next chapter will build on the strong foundation you have helped create. We are confident this

transformational combination will further enhance our ability to serve the global outdoor recreation market, driven by our strong cultures, deep expertise, and shared commitment to excellence and focus on the customer.

***Bringing Together Two Complementary Industry Leaders***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As you may know, Lippert is a leading provider of highly engineered components to the outdoor recreation and transportation markets around the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Like Patrick, Lippert has built deep customer relationships and a strong commitment to innovation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Patrick and Lippert are two established industry leaders with deep roots and longstanding connections to the Elkhart community and the outdoor enthusiast industry, with strong teams and best-in-class cultures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The powerful combination brings together complementary talent and industry insights, a deep pipeline of customer-centric solutions, empowers customers to bring ideas to life, and unifies our innovation platforms enhancing our capabilities.

Together, we will create a more dynamic platform through a broader brand portfolio, more efficient operations, and enhanced R&D investment and commercialization capabilities - all of which will benefit our customers and the end consumers they serve.

***What this Means for Team Members***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are confident this next chapter provides a compelling proposition for our Team Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This strategic merger unifies a high-performing talent engine, anchored in a shared customer-centric culture and a better Team Member experience that sets us apart. It also strengthens our communities through job

creation, fueling local economic growth and actively supporting the communities in which our Team Members live and work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• While we look forward to bringing Patrick and Lippert together, today is just the first step in this process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Until then, Patrick and Lippert will continue to operate as independent companies, and it remains business as usual for our respective Team Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Team Members should not engage with Lippert employees or customers outside normal business channels or speculate about post-closing arrangements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We must all remain focused on serving our customers, supporting one another, and executing with a disciplined, customer first mindset.

***Next Steps***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Many decisions will be made as part of this planning process between now and close, but here is what we know as we enter the next phase of this process:

oAndy Nemeth will serve as CEO of the combined company.

oThe Board of Directors of the combined company will consist of 12 directors, with six designated by Patrick and six designated by Lippert.

oTodd Cleveland will serve as Chairman of the Board and Johnny Sirpilla, Interim CEO of Lippert, will serve as Vice Chairman of the Board.

oThe combined company will be headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the interim, we understand that you may have questions about what this combination means for Patrick and for you. Please utilize the Team Member FAQs to assist in addressing some of these questions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• While there are many questions we can't answer today, we are committed to communicating with you as we have updates to share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Please note, this news will result in increased interest in our company. It is important that we speak with one voice. If you receive inquiries from general media, please direct them to Mike Caudill at caudillm@patrickind.com. For any inquiries from investors, please direct them to Steve O'Hara at oharas@patrickind.com.

***In Closing***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Everything we've done as a team to successfully execute our strategy and drive business results has made this transformational combination possible.

Thank you for your continued commitment to Patrick and the work you do each day serving our customers with excellence.

**Your Role as a Leader**

We are grateful to have such strong leaders guiding our teams through this moment. Your influence as a Patrick leader has never mattered more. The way you show up, communicate, and engage with your teams over the coming weeks will shape how our Team Members experience this transition — and we have every confidence in your ability to do that well.

These materials are designed to support you, not to script you. They're designed to give you a strong foundation of

information so you can have genuine, grounded conversations with your teams.

We ask you take time to get comfortable with these materials ahead of any team conversations. We have established a joint website where our public documents can be viewed: www.PatrickandLippertTogether.com.

**A Few Things to Keep in Mind**

**Stay close to the approved materials.** The communications we've shared have been carefully reviewed by legal counsel, and many will be filed with the SEC. It's important that these materials are shared as-is — please don't add to, alter, or supplement them, and avoid creating additional materials that describe the transaction's impact or speculate on next steps. This isn't about limiting you — it's about protecting all of us, including your teams, during a sensitive regulatory period. Everything we're able to share right now is included here.

**Lead with humility, care, and confidence.** Your teams will take their cues from you. When you speak about this announcement with humility, genuine positivity and servant leadership, it gives Team Members permission to feel good about what lies ahead. Be present with their questions, acknowledge their feelings — whether excitement, uncertainty, or both — and resist the temptation to speculate. The most powerful thing you can do right now is model calm confidence in the opportunity in front of us.

**Keep your teams anchored to the work.** Remind your teams that this is the beginning of a process, not an overnight change. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Until then, our customers are counting on us, and our BETTER Together values remain our north star. Operational excellence and customer focus are still the job — and they're what make this combination possible in the first place.

**Patrick and Lippert remain separate companies until close.** Outside of your normal course of business, please avoid engaging with Lippert employees or customers until the transaction is complete. If a Lippert customer or employee reaches out to you directly, kindly direct them to continue working through their Lippert contacts as usual. Please also refrain from discussing or speculating on how the combined company may be structured or operate post-close.

**Speak with one voice.** Today's announcement may attract attention from media and investors. In keeping with our standard practice, please direct any general media inquiries to **Mike Caudill** at caudillm@patrickind.com, and any investor inquiries to **Steve O'Hara** at oharas@patrickind.com.

Thank you for your continued leadership and the trust you've built with your teams.

This is a significant moment, and we're proud to be navigating it alongside leaders like you.

Patrick and Lippert are two established industry leaders with deep roots and longstanding connections to the Elkhart community and the outdoor enthusiast industry, with strong teams and best-in-class culture.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The powerful combination brings together complementary talent and industry insights, a deep pipeline of customer-centric solutions, empowers customers to bring ideas to life, and unifies our innovation

platforms enhancing our capabilities.

**What does this mean for me and my job? Will my day-to-day responsibilities change? Will I have a job?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• While we look forward to bringing Patrick and Lippert together, today is just the first step in this process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It is business as usual for you. Your role, your job, and your day-to-day responsibilities are not changing as a result of this announcement.

**Will this affect my compensation or benefits?**

**The announcement references $150 million in synergies. What does this mean?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The synergies referenced in the press release refer to the extra value we get by working together.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon closing, Andy Nemeth will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The combined company will employ a collaborative approach to identify a best-in-class management team to lead the organization.

**What happens between now and closing?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Between now and closing, a small team will be working to successfully close the transaction and identify plans to bring our companies together.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This announcement is the first step in the process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Until the transaction closes, Patrick and Lippert remain separate, independent companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a result, it is business as usual, and there are no changes to your role or responsibilities at this time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We must all remain focused on serving customers, supporting one another, and executing with discipline and a customer-first mindset.

**Will there be changes to locations or facilities?**

Once the transaction closes, we will evaluate our footprint to best support the combined business and ultimately our customers.

------

**What happens to our objectives or OSOs, do they change?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Please stay focused on your 2026 objectives. These are not changing. Remember, both companies will continue to operate independently until the transaction closes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• After that, we will align the combined organization's goals to ensure we are best positioned for long-term growth and success.

**Can I reach out to Lippert employees? Can I work with them now?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Until the transaction closes, Patrick and Lippert remain separate, independent companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Please do not engage with Lippert employees outside normal business operations.

**How should I work with my new colleagues from Lippert post-close?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are very early in the process. Upon transaction close, we will be communicating with you more on post close protocol as needed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• However, we ask all Team Members to continue to embrace our BETTER Together values of Balance, Excellence, Trust, Teamwork, Empowerment, and Respect in interactions with other Team Members, customers, and suppliers.

**What should I do if a Lippert customer or supplier contacts me and asks me about the announcement?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You can say that this is an exciting announcement for Patrick, and we believe the transaction will create a stronger platform for growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You should also let them know Patrick and Lippert remain separate companies until transaction close.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• They should continue working with their normal Lippert contacts as usual.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Importantly, you should not speculate or discuss business arrangements that may occur once the transaction is complete.

**Can I post about the transaction on social media?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Under normal circumstances, Team Members are permitted and encouraged to share Patrick corporate posts on their own channels. However, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you do choose to post, please know because this transaction is still pending approval, there are significant legal restrictions on what you can and can't do. Keep in mind, altering any content or sharing certain information about the transaction could be a violation of federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It has always been our practice to default to the side of humility with regards to our corporate social media posts. We ask you to continue to adhere to this.

**What should I do if I'm contacted by the media or if I have more questions?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you receive any media inquiry or outside request for comment, do not respond directly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you receive inquiries from non-financial media, please direct them to Mike Caudill at caudillm@patrickind.com. For any inquiries from investors, please direct them to Steve O'Hara at oharas@patrickind.com.

**Who can I contact if I have more questions?**

Please reach out to your manager with any questions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Both Patrick and Lippert share a commitment to innovation, operational excellence, customer partnership, and high-quality products and solutions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a combined company, we are confident we will be even better positioned to work with our partners and suppliers so we can serve our customers across all our combined markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As we bring our organizations together, this strategic merger represents a meaningful opportunity for our partners as well. The combined scale of our business is expected to drive increased demand and longer-term growth, creating the potential for higher volumes and deeper collaboration. Suppliers with the capability to support this expanded footprint will be well positioned to grow alongside us, strengthen their strategic role, and benefit from a more significant, long-term partnership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Looking ahead, the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It is business as usual. There are no changes to contracts or who you work with at Patrick. We will keep you informed as we have news to share.
