Our Board of Directors is presently comprised of nine directors, divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. The term of the Class I directors expires at our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the term of the Class II directors expires at our 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and the term of the Class III directors expires at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The current members of each class of directors are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Class I directors: Helen Golding, Allen Hugli and Christine Montenegro McGrath

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Class II directors: Gregory Cole, Duncan Hawkesby and Ann Ziegler

We have entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement") with Packaging Finance Limited ("PFL") which, among other things, provides that PFL has the right to nominate all of our directors so long as the Hart Entities (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) beneficially own at least 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock; a majority of our directors so long as they own at least 40% of our stock; and at least one director so long as they own at least 10% of our stock. Currently, PFL has the right to nominate all of our directors, and all of our directors were nominated by, and may be removed by, PFL. Based on the recommendation of the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "CNG Committee") and designated by PFL, the Board has nominated Marla Gottschalk, Scott Huckins and Rolf Stangl for election as directors at the 2026 Annual Meeting, to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders.

Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than three, the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement. We expect each nominee for election as a director will be able to serve if elected. If any nominee is not able to serve, proxies will be voted in favor of the remainder of those nominated and may be voted for substitute nominees.

Set forth below is biographical information as of March 2, 2026, for the nominees and each person whose term of office as a director will continue after the Annual Meeting. Duncan Hawkesby is the son-in-law of Mr. Graeme Hart, who is the ultimate owner of PFL. There are no family relationships among our executive officers.

**Board of Directors' Recommendation** 

The proposal for the election of directors relates solely to the election of the directors nominated by the Board of Directors.

***The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote FOR the election of the three director nominees, Marla Gottschalk, Scott Huckins and Rolf Stangl.***

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE** 

**Director Independence** 

We are a "controlled company" under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). As a result, we qualify for exemptions from, and have elected not to comply with, certain corporate governance requirements under the rules, including the requirements that we have a Board that is composed of a majority of "independent directors," as defined under the Nasdaq rules, and a compensation and nominating committee that is composed entirely of independent directors.

Even though we are a controlled company, we are required to comply with the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the Audit Committee. All members of the Audit Committee are independent directors.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Gottschalk, Ms. McGrath, Mr. Stangl and Ms. Ziegler are independent directors under Nasdaq rules. In making such independence determination, the Board of Directors considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances that the Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence.

**Board Leadership Structure**

The positions of our Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are presently separated. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chair of the Board to lead the Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to, and oversight of, management. Our Board of Directors recognizes the time, effort and energy that the Chief Executive Officer must devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chair, particularly as the Board of Directors' oversight responsibilities continue to grow. Our Board of Directors also believes that this structure ensures a greater role for the non-management directors in the oversight of our Company and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of our Board of Directors. Although our Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines do not require our Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer positions to be separate, our Board of Directors believes that having separate positions is the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time.

**Stockholder Communications**

A shareholder or other interested party may submit a written communication to the Board of Directors by sending it to the Board in care of Corporate Secretary at Reynolds Consumer Products, 1900 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045 Attention: Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary will send copies of all communications to the Chair and Chief Executive Officer and, when appropriate, to all Board members.

**Procedures for Selecting and Nominating Director Candidates**

The CNG Committee Charter provides that the CNG Committee shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Determine the qualifications, qualities, skills and other expertise required to be a director and develop, and recommend to the Board for its approval, criteria to be considered in selecting nominees for director (the "Director Criteria").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Evaluate the current composition, organization and governance of the Board and make appropriate recommendations on such matters to the Board for approval, consistent with the Director Criteria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Search for, identify, evaluate and recommend for selection by the Board candidates for membership on the Board, including in the case of newly-created positions or vacancies on the Board and review any candidates that are recommended by stockholders in compliance with the Company's certificate of incorporation, bylaws and stockholder nomination and recommendation policies and procedures, applicable law and any applicable stockholders agreement. In making its recommendations for Board and committee membership, the Committee shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ review candidates' qualifications for membership on the Board or a committee of the Board based on the Director Criteria;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ consider any other factors that are set forth in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines or are deemed appropriate by the CNG Committee or the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ assess the performance of current directors being evaluated for renomination to the Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ periodically review, as appropriate, the service of all directors on the boards of other public companies with consideration to the substantial time commitment required of directors and make such recommendations to the Board as it may deem advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recommend for selection by the Board the director nominees (by class, if the Board is classified at the time of the recommendation) to stand for election to the Board by the stockholders at any meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consider the Board's leadership structure, including the separation of the Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer roles and/or appointment of a lead independent director of the Board, either permanently or for specific purposes, and make such recommendations with respect thereto as the CNG Committee deems appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Develop and review periodically the Company's policies and procedures for considering stockholder nominees for election to the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Evaluate the performance of individual members of the Board and, if appropriate, recommend termination of membership of individual directors for cause or for other appropriate reasons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Evaluate the "independence" of directors and director nominees against the independence requirements of Nasdaq and the Exchange Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement between the Company and PFL, PFL has the right to nominate all of our directors so long as the Hart Entities (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) beneficially own at least 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock; a majority of our directors so long as they own at least 40% of our stock; and at least one director so long as they own at least 10% of our stock. Currently, PFL has the right to nominate all of our directors, and all of our directors were nominated by, and may be removed by, PFL.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

The Company's Bylaws include provisions for nomination and election of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders and requirements for director nominees.

The CNG Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner that it considers all director candidates. Stockholders who wish to suggest qualified candidates should write to Reynolds Consumer Products, 1900 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045 Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any such recommendation should include a description of the candidate's qualifications for board service; the candidate's written consent to be considered for nomination and to serve if nominated and elected; and addresses and telephone numbers for contacting the stockholder and the candidate for more information.

**Board Meetings and Committees**

Our Board of Directors held six meetings during 2025. The independent directors regularly hold executive sessions at meetings of the Board of Directors. Each of our current directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board of Directors and all meetings of the committees of the Board of Directors on which such director then served that were held in 2025. Directors are encouraged to attend the annual meetings of stockholders of the Company, as provided in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. All of our directors who were directors at the time of our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders attended that meeting.

**Risk Oversight**

Our Board of Directors oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business and the implementation of our business strategies. Our Board of Directors performs this oversight role by using several different levels of review. In connection with its reviews of the operations and corporate functions of our Company, our Board of Directors addresses the primary risks associated with those operations and corporate functions. In addition, our Board of Directors reviews the risks associated with our Company's business strategies periodically throughout the year as part of its consideration of undertaking any such business strategies.

Each of our Board committees also coordinates oversight of the management of our risk that falls within the committee's areas of responsibility. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. Our Chief Financial Officer is responsible for identifying, evaluating and implementing risk management controls and methodologies to address any identified risks. In connection with its risk management role, our Audit Committee meets privately with representatives from our independent registered public accounting firm, and privately with our Chief Financial Officer. In addition, the CNG Committee reviews the Company's compensation program and risk elements to the Company in connection with the structure of the compensation plan.

**Board Evaluations**

The Board of Directors conducts an annual Board evaluation process. Per the Board's direction, the Corporate Secretary prepares self-evaluation questionnaires for each of the Board, the Audit Committee and the CNG Committee. All Board and Committee members complete the evaluations. The Corporate Secretary then compiles the results of the evaluations and provides the compilations to the respective Chairs. During the executive session of their regularly scheduled October meetings, each Chair reviewed the results of the evaluations and the members discussed.

**Insider Trading Policy**

We have an insider trading policy that governs the purchase, sale, and other dispositions and transactions in our securities by our directors, officers and employees, which is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as Nasdaq listing standards, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

**DIRECTOR COMPENSATION** 

During 2025, our directors who are not employees of our company or of Rank Group (the "non-affiliated directors") (Mr. Stangl, Ms. Gottschalk, Ms. McGrath and Ms. Ziegler) received annual retainers and annual equity compensation grants pursuant to the following program:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Board member*: $255,000, of which $100,000 was an annual cash retainer and $155,000 was in the form of an annual grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Chair of the Board*: $125,000, of which $60,000 was an annual cash retainer and $65,000 was in the form of an annual grant of RSUs, in addition to the $255,000 in board member payments and grants described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Chair of our Audit Committee*: $20,000, as an annual cash retainer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Members of our Audit Committee and our CNG Committee*: $10,000, as an annual cash retainer.

RSUs are granted pursuant to the Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") and the number of RSUs granted is calculated by dividing the applicable dollar value by the closing sale price per share of our common stock on the date of grant. The RSUs granted in 2025 to each of Mr. Stangl, Ms. Gottschalk, Ms. McGrath and Ms. Ziegler were granted on April 23, 2025, the date of our 2025 annual meeting, and will vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or immediately prior to the following year's annual meeting of stockholders. The Equity Incentive Plan provides that an individual who is a non-employee director may not receive awards under the plan, in cash or otherwise, for any calendar year that total more than $750,000 in the aggregate.

Non-affiliated directors are able to elect to defer the settlement of their RSUs for a period of time after the RSUs vest, either upon cessation of their service as a director or a later date following the cessation of their service as a director.

The cash retainer amounts that are paid to non-affiliated directors are paid in quarterly installments on or about the first day of January, April, July and October.

Directors who are also full-time officers or employees of the Company or Rank Group receive no additional compensation for serving as directors. In July 2025, the Board elected Mr. Hawkesby to the Board. Mr. Hawkesby was designated as a director by PFL, our controlling stockholder, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2020, between the Company and PFL. Mr. Hawkesby is the son-in-law of Mr. Graeme Hart, who is the ultimate owner of PFL. As a result of this affiliation, Mr. Hawkesby does not participate in the Company's non-affiliated director compensation arrangements.

We reimburse all of our directors for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board of Directors or committees, and have entered into Indemnification Agreements with our directors.

**STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES**

We have Stock Ownership Guidelines (the "Guidelines") applicable to our non-affiliated directors. Under the Guidelines, each non-affiliated director is expected to own shares of our common stock with a value at least equal to five times the annual Board cash retainer (not including any chair or committee retainers). Shares owned directly and indirectly, as well as full-value equity awards (such as RSUs) with only a time-based vesting condition, count toward the ownership level under the Guidelines. Stock options (if any were to be granted by the Company) do not count toward the ownership level under the Guidelines.

The applicable ownership level is to be achieved by our directors within the later of July 1, 2028 (five years after the effective date of the Guidelines) or five years following when he or she becomes subject to the Guidelines (such date, the "Compliance Date"). Prior to the first applicable Compliance Date, until a non-affiliated director has satisfied the applicable level of ownership, he or she is required to retain not less than 50% of the net shares received (shares received after any shares are withheld to satisfy applicable withholding taxes) from the vesting or settlement of any equity award granted after the effective date of the Guidelines. As of and following the first applicable Compliance Date, if the applicable level of ownership has not been achieved, or if it has been achieved but a non-affiliated director falls below the applicable level of ownership, he or she will be required to retain 100% of the net shares received from the vesting or settlement of any equity award granted until the applicable level of ownership is achieved. Each of our non-affiliated directors either complies with, or is making progress within the permitted time period to comply with, the applicable stock ownership level under the Guidelines.

**2025 Director Compensation Table**

The following table presents the compensation for each person who served as a member of our Board of Directors during 2025, other than Scott Huckins. Mr. Huckins, who was our Chief Executive Officer during 2025, received no compensation for his service as a director. The compensation received by Mr. Huckins as our Chief Executive Officer during 2025 is presented in the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Cole, Ms. Golding, Mr. Hawkesby and Mr. Hugli did not receive any compensation for his or her service as a director of ours in 2025, due to the fact that they were serving as officers of Rank Group at the time of payment or grant or, in the case of Mr. Hawkesby, his familial affiliation with Mr. Graeme Hart.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited our financial statements for each year since 2015. We expect representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to be present at the Annual Meeting and available to respond to appropriate questions. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

**PRE-APPROVAL POLICY** 

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy with respect to pre-approval of certain types of audit and non-audit related services specifically described by the Audit Committee on an annual basis. In general, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the provision of certain audit services and audit-related services, in each case up to an annual amount which varies by the type of services. Individual engagements anticipated to exceed such pre-established thresholds must be separately approved. This policy also sets forth certain services that the Company's independent public accountant is prohibited from providing to the Company. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.

All services provided and fees charged by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to us were pre-approved in accordance with the policy described above.

**AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT**

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Audit Committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters that are required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and the SEC. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that firm's independence. The Audit Committee has concluded that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's provision of audit and non-audit services to the company and its affiliates is compatible with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for filing with the SEC.

**PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS** 

We are providing our stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Consistent with the preference expressed by our stockholders, we are conducting say-on-pay votes on an annual basis.

As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A"), we have designed the compensation arrangements for our named executive officers to provide compensation in overall amounts and in forms that attract and retain talented and experienced individuals and motivate our executive officers to achieve the goals that are important to our growth. Our Board and CNG Committee believe that our executive compensation program is tied to performance, aligns with shareholder interests and merits stockholder support. Accordingly, the Board recommends that stockholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the narrative discussion contained in this Proxy Statement."

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board of Directors or the CNG Committee. However, the Board of Directors and the CNG Committee will carefully review the voting results. To the extent there is any significant negative vote on this proposal, we may consult directly with stockholders to better understand the concerns that influenced the vote.

**Board of Directors' Recommendation** 

***The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.***

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***Introduction***

This CD&A describes our compensation approach and programs for our named executive officers ("NEOs"), which consist of the following persons for 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Scott Huckins, President and Chief Executive Officer

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nathan Lowe, Chief Financial Officer

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Jill Barnett, Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ryan Clark, President, Hefty Tableware

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Carlen Hooker, Chief Commercial Officer

The 2025 compensation outcomes should be considered in the context of executive leadership transitions that occurred during the year. Certain compensation decisions were transition-related and reflect non-recurring actions taken in connection with those changes, rather than elements of our ongoing executive compensation programs.

Unless otherwise indicated, the following discussion addresses compensation decisions for 2025 and the principles underlying our executive compensation program.

***Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Transitions***

Effective January 1, 2025, the Board appointed Mr. Huckins as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and elected Mr. Huckins as a member of the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy resulting from the previous President and Chief Executive Officer's voluntary retirement. Also effective January 1, 2025, the Board appointed Mr. Lowe as Chief Financial Officer, which position was previously held by Mr. Huckins.

***Compensation Arrangements for Newly Hired Named Executive Officers***

The other three NEOs, Ms. Barnett (Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary), Mr. Clark (President, Hefty Tableware) and Ms. Hooker (Chief Commercial Officer), were hired and appointed during 2025, and each of them is an NEO as a result of compensation granted in connection with their commencement of employment. The CNG Committee recognizes that first-year compensation for newly hired executives may be elevated due to one-time recruitment-related compensation elements that are not indicative of ongoing pay levels.

In connection with the recruitment and hiring of these executives, the CNG Committee approved certain one-time compensation elements, including sign-on cash bonuses, relocation assistance and equity replacement awards. The CNG Committee determined that these one-time arrangements were appropriate to attract experienced executives in a competitive labor market, facilitate their transitions to the Company and offset compensation forfeited upon departure from prior employers. The CNG Committee does not consider these one-time arrangements to be part of our ongoing executive compensation program.

To offset the loss of unvested equity awards forfeited upon departure from prior employers, the CNG Committee granted replacement RSUs to each of Ms. Barnett, Mr. Clark and Ms. Hooker, in addition to the regular annual equity awards. The vesting schedules of the equity replacement awards were designed to generally align with the vesting terms of the executive's forfeited awards and to promote long-term retention and alignment with stockholder interests. These equity replacement awards were granted on a one-time basis in connection with commencement of employment and are not expected to be repeated.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

The CNG Committee also approved one-time sign-on cash bonuses and relocation assistance to these NEOs to address transition-related costs associated with accepting employment with us. These cash payments were not performance-based and are not part of our ongoing compensation structure.

As a result of the one-time sign-on cash bonuses, relocation assistance and equity replacement awards described above, Ms. Barnett, Mr. Clark and Ms. Hooker were among our most highly compensated executive officers for 2025. The CNG Committee emphasizes that compensation reported for these executives for 2025 is not representative of the compensation levels expected in future years. Excluding these one-time recruitment-related items, the ongoing compensation opportunities for these executives are generally consistent with those of other executive officers and aligned with our pay-for-performance philosophy.

***Our Compensation Objectives and Philosophy***

Our compensation objectives include attracting and retaining top talent, motivating and rewarding the performance of senior executives in support of achievement of strategic, financial and operating performance objectives and ensuring that our total compensation packages are competitive in comparison to those offered by our peers. Our NEOs, as well as our employees generally, participate in compensation and benefits plans and programs that are intended to align our compensation programs with our business objectives, promote good corporate governance and seek to achieve our compensation objectives.

To ensure that management's interests are aligned with those of our stockholders and to motivate and reward individual initiative and effort, our executive compensation program emphasizes a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy so that attainment of enterprise-wide, business unit and individual performance goals are rewarded. Through the use of performance-based plans that emphasize attainment of enterprise-wide and/or business unit goals, we seek to foster teamwork and commitment to performance. Further, the use of components such as equity ownership and long-term equity-based incentive compensation programs is important to ensure that the efforts of management are consistent with the objectives of our stockholders.

***Say on Pay Results***

The CNG Committee also values the opinions of our stockholders, and it reviews and considers the outcome of our annual vote on executive compensation, also known as the "say-on-pay" vote, along with other relevant factors, in evaluating the compensation program for the NEOs. At our 2025 annual meeting, stockholders showed strong support for our executive compensation program, with approximately 99% of votes cast approving our advisory say-on-pay proposal. The CNG Committee considered the strong level of stockholder support and made no material changes in our executive compensation program as a result of the 2025 say-on-pay vote.

***Risk Assessment of Compensation Programs***

Our CNG Committee, based on an evaluation by management, assisted by the Committee's independent compensation consultant, does not believe that our compensation arrangements, including financial performance measures used to determine short-term and long-term incentive payout amounts, provide our employees with an incentive to engage in business activities or other behavior that would expose us or our stockholders to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company.

***Executive Compensation Decision-Making Process***

*Role of the CNG Committee*

The CNG Committee has responsibility for determining our compensation philosophy, structuring our compensation and benefits programs and determining appropriate payments and awards to our executive officers, including our NEOs. The CNG Committee works closely with its independent advisors and management throughout the year to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

evaluate the effectiveness and competitiveness of the Company's executive compensation program. The CNG Committee's authority and responsibilities are described fully in its Charter.

*Role of Management* 

Our CEO, in collaboration with a third party compensation consultant and with input from the CNG Committee, makes recommendations to the CNG Committee for base salary, annual incentive program ("AIP"), long-term incentive ("LTI") compensation and any other elements of our compensation program for each NEO (other than the CEO, whose compensation is determined solely by the CNG Committee). Our CEO also provides recommendations to the CNG Committee on other elements of our compensation program for senior executives, including, for example, the design and metrics under our AIP and LTI programs. While the CNG Committee will consider the CEO's recommendations with respect to the compensation of the NEOs, the CNG Committee independently evaluates the recommendations and makes all final compensation decisions relating to the NEOs.

In the case of compensation for employees below the most senior level, the CNG Committee has delegated certain authority to our management to make determinations in accordance with guidelines established by the CNG Committee.

*Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant* 

The CNG Committee has engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC ("Pearl Meyer"), an independent compensation consultant, to advise on compensation matters. Pearl Meyer provides an analysis of base salary, AIP compensation and LTI compensation for our senior executives, comparing them to executives at companies in our peer group (the "Benchmark Comparison Group") and using compensation survey data for similarly sized organizations in our industry.

*Peer Group* 

The Benchmark Comparison Group utilized as a benchmark for executive compensation matters for 2025 included:

---

The criteria considered in selecting peer companies for the Benchmark Comparison Group include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• size, as measured by revenue, market capitalization and enterprise value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• industry category, including consumer household, personal and leisure products, household durables, containers and packaging; and

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competition for sources of talent.

As part of our annual compensation planning, a review was performed of the Benchmark Comparison Group to ensure the group remains a reasonable basis of comparison of industry and size. In preparation for determining 2025 executive compensation matters, Helen of Troy Limited was removed from our Benchmark Comparison Group due to declining market capitalization and Pactiv Evergreen Inc. was removed from our Benchmark Comparison Group due to being acquired and the resulting lack of public compensation data. Newell Brands, Inc. was added to our Benchmark Comparison Group due to their size, industry and competition for sources of talent.

**Total Direct Compensation** 

The CNG Committee, advised by its independent compensation consultant Pearl Meyer, is responsible for overseeing and approving the executive compensation program for the Company's executive officers, including our NEOs. To establish the appropriate target total direct compensation for each position, Pearl Meyer provides and the Committee reviews the market levels for base salary, target annual cash, target LTI and total direct compensation based upon our Benchmark Comparison Group and published surveys. The Committee then considers that market data, as well as other factors, in determining the elements of total direct compensation for each position.

**Elements of Compensation** 

The components of executive compensation that support our compensation philosophy for our NEOs, and the primary objectives of each, are summarized in the chart below:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Compensation Element** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Description** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Form** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Objective** |
| **Base Salary** | &nbsp;&nbsp;Fixed based on level of responsibility, experience, tenure and qualifications | &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash | •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Support talent attraction and retention |

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

Because of the ability of our NEOs to directly influence our overall performance, and consistent with our philosophy of linking pay to performance, the compensation programs allocate a significant portion of compensation paid to our NEOs to both short-term and long-term performance-based incentive programs. In addition, as an employee's responsibility and ability to affect our financial results increases, base salary becomes a relatively smaller component of total compensation while long-term and at-risk incentive compensation becomes a larger component of total compensation.

**Base Salary** 

Base salaries are set at competitive levels necessary to attract and retain top-performing senior executives, including our NEOs, and are intended to compensate senior executives for their job responsibilities and level of experience. The CNG Committee has a goal to set each of the elements of total compensation at or around the 50<sup>th</sup> percentile of the Benchmark Comparison Group (and, for our presidents of our four business units, the overall general industry), adjusted to reflect each executive's individual performance and contributions. In certain cases, including when an executive is recruited from another company or where it is otherwise appropriate to retain or incentivize an executive, the base salary may exceed the levels indicated in order to attract, and ultimately retain, the executive.

Effective January 1, 2025, upon their promotions, the CNG Committee approved base salaries for Mr. Huckins as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Lowe as Chief Financial Officer, consistent with the scope and responsibilities of their new roles. In determining the level of base salary for each of Ms. Barnett, Mr. Clark and Ms. Hooker upon their hiring in 2025, the CNG Committee considered market-competitive benchmarking, the executive's experience and qualifications, the scope and complexity of the role, internal pay equity, and the Company's overall compensation philosophy.

The annual base salary amounts in 2025 for each of the NEOs was:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Annual Base Salary** |
| Scott Huckins | $1000000 |
| Nathan Lowe | $550000 |
| Jill Barnett | $525000 |
| Ryan Clark | $550000 |
| Carlen Hooker | $530000 |

**Annual Incentive Compensation**

*2025 Annual Incentive Program*

Our 2025 annual incentive program ("2025 AIP") was designed to provide an opportunity for our senior executives, including our NEOs, to earn an annual incentive, paid in cash, based on the achievement of certain financial targets and strategic priorities. An executive's incentive target is a percentage of his or her actual annual base salary amount.

The 2025 AIP was designed to motivate our senior executives to achieve annual financial and other business goals based on our strategic, financial, and operating performance objectives. For our senior executives, including our NEOs, 60% of the payout under the 2025 AIP would be determined by 2025 Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of 2024 Adjusted EBIT ("Adjusted EBIT Growth"), 25% of the payout would be determined by the achievement of certain strategic initiatives, and 15% would be determined by the 2025 increase in total net revenues relative to 2024 total net revenues ("Revenue Growth"). Based on the combined Adjusted EBIT Growth, achievement of certain strategic initiatives and Revenue Growth results, a participant could earn up to 200% of the target value.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

The target levels, as well as threshold and maximum levels, for the Adjusted EBIT Growth and Revenue Growth metrics were set by the CNG Committee in the first quarter of 2025. With respect to the strategic initiatives component, the CNG Committee established objectives relating to key strategic priorities in the first quarter of 2025, and evaluated performance against those objectives following the end of 2025. We do not publicly disclose the specific targets or criteria associated with these strategic initiatives because such disclosure would result in competitive harm by revealing commercially sensitive information regarding our business strategies and operational priorities. However, the CNG Committee considers these objectives to be rigorous and closely aligned with our strategic plan.

In the first quarter of 2025, the CNG Committee established the following payout levels that would be associated with the degree to which each of Adjusted EBIT Growth and Revenue Growth was attained for 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Adjusted EBIT Growth** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** |
| FY 2025 ($m) | 513 | 569 | 626 |
| % of FY 2024 | 92.7 | 103.0 | 113.3 |
| Percentage Payout Level | 25 | 100 | 200 |
| **Revenue Growth** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** |
| FY 2025 ($m) | 3598 | 3787 | 3977 |
| % of FY 2024 | 97.4 | 102.5 | 107.6 |
| Percentage Payout Level | 25 | 100 | 200 |

---

The CNG Committee provided that payout levels would be interpolated for results between the threshold and maximum levels.

The CNG Committee also established the target amounts to which the weighted results of the three performance metrics would be applied. The target percentage of actual base salary for the year for each NEO was:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Target % of Base Salary** |
| Scott Huckins | 120 |
| Nathan Lowe | 75 |
| Jill Barnett | 65 |
| Ryan Clark | 65 |
| Carlen Hooker | 65 |

---

In January 2026, the CNG Committee determined the degree to which the Adjusted EBIT Growth, strategic initiatives and Revenue Growth goals were attained, and the resulting payout level relative to the target amount for each metric. Based on the achievement level of the Adjusted EBIT Growth target, the payout for such metric was 50%; based on the achievement level of the Revenue Growth target, the payout for such metric was 65%; and based on the achievement of strategic initiatives, the payout for such metric was 200%. After applying the applicable weightings of these metrics, the total payout level was 90% of target, as shown below:

(1)Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to <u>Appendix A</u> to this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP measure.

Based on the results as applied to the 2025 AIP as described above, the CNG Committee's approval resulted in the payment of the following amounts to our NEOs under the 2025 AIP:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2025 AIP<br>Payout** |
| Scott Huckins | $1080000 |
| Nathan Lowe | $371250 |
| Jill Barnett<sup>(1)</sup> | $219874 |
| Ryan Clark<sup>(1)</sup> | $198656 |
| Carlen Hooker<sup>(1)</sup> | $167944 |

---

(1)Ms. Barnett, Mr. Clark and Ms. Hookers' AIP payout amounts were based on their base salary in 2025, reflecting their respective start dates during the year.

The amounts paid to our NEOs pursuant to the 2025 AIP are set forth in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of our Summary Compensation Table, because the outcomes with respect to the relevant targets under the objectives were substantially uncertain at the time the targets were established by the CNG Committee and communicated to the NEOs.

In addition, in connection with a retention arrangement that was put in place in 2023, Mr. Lowe received a retention bonus in 2025. Further, as described above, in connection with their hiring in 2025, the CNG Committee approved a one-time sign-on cash bonuses for each of Ms. Barnett, Mr. Clark and Ms. Hooker. The amounts of these retention and sign-on bonuses were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **2025 <br>One-time Cash Bonus** |
| Nathan Lowe | $100000 |
| Jill Barnett | $135844 |
| Ryan Clark | $150000 |
| Carlen Hooker | $125000 |

---

**Long-Term Incentive Compensation** 

*Equity Awards Granted in 2025*

The LTI program for 2025 consisted of RSU and PSU awards. The CNG Committee believes that this mix emphasizes performance, further aligning with our stockholders' interests, and promotes retention. The RSUs vest over a three-year period, with 1/3 vesting each year, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The PSUs are earned based on the extent to which specified performance metrics established at the date of the grant were

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

achieved. For our senior executives, including our NEOs, 50% of the target number of PSUs that could be earned would be determined by 2025 adjusted earnings per share as a percentage of 2024 adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS Growth"). The remaining 50% would be determined by the 2025 adjusted free cash flow ("Adjusted Free Cash Flow"). Participants had the ability to earn 25% of the target number of PSUs for achieving threshold performance and 200% of the target number of PSUs for achieving maximum performance. The number of PSUs earned, if any, would vest on February 1, 2028 for Mr. Huckins and Mr. Lowe, May 1, 2028 for Ms. Barnett, and June 1, 2028 for Mr. Clark and Ms. Hooker, in each case representing the third anniversary of the applicable grant date of the PSUs granted in 2025 as part of the annual executive award.

At the time of grant, the CNG Committee established the following percentage of target number of PSUs that could be earned, based on the degree to which each of Adjusted EPS Growth and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was attained for 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Adjusted EPS Growth** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** |
| FY 2025 ($) | 1.47 | 1.73 | 1.99 |
| % of FY 2024 | 88 | 104 | 119 |
| Percentage PSUs Earned | 25 | 100 | 200 |
| **Adjusted Free Cash Flow** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** |
| FY 2025 ($m) | 264 | 330 | 396 |
| Percentage PSUs Earned | 25 | 100 | 200 |

---

The number of RSUs and the target number of PSUs granted to our NEOs in 2025 as part of the annual award (excluding the one-time executive transition and one-time new hire grants of RSUs, which are discussed below) were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **LTI<br>RSUs (#)** | **LTI<br>RSUs (#)** | **LTI<br>PSUs (#)** | **LTI<br>PSUs (#)** |

| Ryan Clark | | 18,682 | | 18,682 |
| Carlen Hooker | | 15,602 | | 15,602 |

---

In January 2026, the CNG Committee determined the degree to which the Adjusted EPS Growth and Adjusted Free Cash Flow goals were attained, and the resulting percentage of target number of PSUs that were earned for each metric. Based on the achievement level of the Adjusted EPS Growth target, the percentage earned for such metric was 74%; and based on the achievement level of the Adjusted Free Cash Flow target, the percentage earned for such metric was 99%. After applying the applicable weightings of these metrics, the percentage earned was 87% of target, as shown below:

---

(1)Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to <u>Appendix A</u> to this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measure.

Based on the results as applied to the 2025 PSUs as described above, the CNG Committee's approval resulted in the following number of PSUs being earned by each NEO:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2025 PSUs Earned** |
| Scott Huckins | 63,020 |
| Nathan Lowe | 15,164 |
| Jill Barnett | 12,505 |
| Ryan Clark | 16,253 |
| Carlen Hooker | 13,574 |

---

These earned PSUs will vest on February 1, 2028.

In addition, in connection with the executive role promotions for Mr. Huckins and Mr. Lowe and the commencement of employment for Ms. Barnett, Mr. Clark and Ms. Hooker, the CNG Committee approved one-time RSU awards to our NEOs that were granted in 2025, as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **One-Time<br>RSUs (#)** | **One-Time<br>RSUs (#)** |
| Scott Huckins | | 18,109 |
| Nathan Lowe | | 13,134 |
| Jill Barnett | | 43,221 |
| Ryan Clark | | 45,290 |
| Carlen Hooker | | 40,761 |

---

For Mr. Huckins, the one-time RSUs will vest one-half on each of February 1, 2026 and 2027, subject to continued service on each vesting date. For Mr. Lowe, 8,607 RSUs will vest on February 1, 2026 and 4,527 RSUs will vest on February 1, 2027, subject to continued service on each vesting date. For Ms. Barnett, 17,987 RSUs will vest on April 30, 2026 and 25,234 RSUs will vest on April 30, 2027, subject to continued service on each vesting date. For each of Mr. Clark and Ms. Hooker, the one-time RSUs will vest one-third on each of June 1, 2026, 2027 and 2028, subject to continued service on each vesting date.

**Other Compensation—Retirement and Welfare Benefits** 

Retirement and welfare benefit programs are a necessary element of the total compensation package to ensure a competitive position in attracting and retaining a committed workforce. Participation in these programs is not tied to performance.

Our specific contribution levels to these programs are adjusted annually to maintain a competitive position while considering costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employee Savings Plan. All non-union employees in the United States, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in a tax-qualified retirement savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). We make a 2% non-elective contribution and matching contributions of 100% of the first 6% of an employee's elective deferral contribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Welfare Plans. Our executives are also eligible to participate in our broad-based health and welfare plans (including medical, dental, vision, life insurance and disability plans) upon the same terms and conditions as other employees.

Employees who are at a designated salary grade or above, including all NEOs, may defer a portion of their salary and bonus each year into a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, which is a tax-deferred plan. We also make contributions to this plan mirroring percentage contributions made to the 401(k) plan. This program is intended to promote retention by providing a long-term savings opportunity on a tax-efficient basis. The amounts deferred are our unsecured obligations, receive no preferential standing, and are subject to the same risks as any of our other unsecured obligations.

We provide the NEOs with limited perquisites and other personal benefits, including reimbursement of relocation costs (which may or may not include a gross up on taxes). Additionally, we purchase tickets to various cultural, charitable, civic, entertainment and sporting events for business development and relationship building purposes, and to maintain involvement in communities in which we operate and our employees live. Occasionally, our employees, including the NEOs, make personal use of tickets that would not otherwise be used for business purposes. The CNG Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to our NEOs. The CNG Committee intends to maintain only those perquisites and other benefits that it determines to be necessary components of total compensation and that are not inconsistent with stockholder interests.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

**Employment Agreements**

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs (the "Employment Agreements"). The Employment Agreements provide for an initial base salary and an annual cash target incentive percentage, which may be adjusted from time to time by the CNG Committee. Other key elements of these agreements are outlined below.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **<u>Employee</u>** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Severance</u>**<sup>(1)</sup> | **Restrictive**<br>**<u>Covenants</u>**<sup>(2)</sup> |

---

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Severance and COBRA premium assistance are provided if the employee is terminated without cause. Upon termination of employment, equity awards will be treated based on individual equity agreements. See the "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control - Equity Awards" section below for further discussion.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restrictive covenants include non-competition and non-solicitation covenants during employment and for one year following termination of employment for any reason.

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Increased severance is provided if within 12 months following a Sale of Business, the employee is terminated without cause or resigns following a material reduction in his or her remuneration or scope of duties.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

**Equity Incentive Plan** 

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to motivate and reward our employees, directors, consultants and advisors to perform at the highest level and to further our best interests and those of our shareholders.

*Administration*

Our CNG Committee administers the Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, our CNG Committee may delegate to one or more of our officers some or all of the authority under the Equity Incentive Plan, including the authority to grant all types of awards authorized under the Equity Incentive Plan, except for grants to executive officers.

*Eligibility*

Generally, all employees, directors, consultants or other advisors of the Company or any of its affiliates are eligible to receive awards.

*Equity Grant Timing Policies and Practices*

Our CNG Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards, and the Company does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

*No Repricing*

Except as provided in the adjustment provision of the Equity Incentive Plan, no action will directly or indirectly, through cancellation and regrant or any other method, reduce, or have the effect of reducing, the exercise price of any option or SAR established at the time of grant thereof without approval of our shareholders.

*Director Pay Cap*

An individual who is a non-employee director may not receive awards, in cash or otherwise, for any calendar year that total more than $750,000 in the aggregate.

**Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy**

Our employees and directors are prohibited from (i) engaging in any hedging transactions (including transactions involving options, puts, calls, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or other derivatives) that are designed to hedge or speculate on any change in the market value of the Company's equity securities, and (ii) pledging Company securities in any circumstance, including by purchasing Company securities on margin or holding Company securities in a margin account.

**Clawback Policy**

We maintain an Amended and Restated Compensation Recoupment Policy (the "Clawback Policy") in accordance with Nasdaq's listing standards. The Clawback Policy applies to all incentive-based compensation, which is any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure, received by our executive officers, including our named executive officers.

The Clawback Policy applies in the case of an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. The Clawback Policy provides that promptly following such an accounting restatement, the amount of erroneously awarded compensation will be determined, which is the excess of the amount of incentive-based compensation received by current and former executive officers during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the required restatement date over the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts. The Company will provide each such executive officer with a written notice of such amount and a demand for repayment or return. If such repayment or return is not made within a reasonable time, the Clawback Policy provides that the Company will recover the erroneously awarded compensation in a reasonable and prompt manner using any lawful method, subject to limited exceptions as permitted by Nasdaq.

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

We have Stock Ownership Guidelines applicable to our executive officers. Under the Guidelines, the following officers are expected to own shares of our common stock with a value at least equal to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Chief Executive Officer: 5x annual base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Business Unit Presidents and Chief Financial Officer: 3x annual base salary; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other executive officers: 2x annual base salary

Shares owned directly and indirectly, as well as full-value equity awards (such as RSUs or earned PSUs) with only a time-based vesting condition, count toward the ownership level under the Guidelines. Unearned PSUs and stock options (if any were to be granted by the Company) do not count toward the ownership level under the Guidelines.

The applicable ownership level is to be achieved within the later of July 1, 2028 (five years after the effective date of the Guidelines) or five years following when the officer becomes subject to the Guidelines. Prior to the first applicable Compliance Date, until an executive officer has satisfied the applicable level of ownership, he or she is required to retain not less than 50% of the net shares received (shares received after any shares are withheld to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes) from the vesting or settlement of any equity award granted after the effective date of the Guidelines. As of and following the first applicable Compliance Date, if the applicable level of ownership has not been achieved, or if it has been achieved but an executive officer falls below the applicable level of ownership, he or she will be required to retain 100% of the net shares received from the vesting or settlement of any equity award granted until the applicable level of ownership is achieved. Each of our executive officers either complies with, or is making progress within the permitted time period to comply with, the applicable stock ownership level under the Guidelines.

**Tax and Accounting Considerations** 

*Tax Considerations of Our Executive Compensation*

Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits the tax deductibility of annual compensation paid by public companies for certain executive officers to $1 million. Although our CNG Committee is mindful of the benefits of tax deductibility when determining executive compensation, the CNG Committee may approve compensation that will not be fully-deductible in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for its executive officers.

*Accounting for Our Stock-Based Compensation*

We account for stock-based payments, including grants under each of our equity compensation plans, in accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718.

**POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL**

*Employment Agreements*

For all NEOs, except for Mr. Huckins, the current Employment Agreements with the NEOs provide for the following severance in the event of certain types of termination:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the executive is terminated without Cause (defined below) prior to a Sale of Business (defined below), the executive would be entitled to receive one times his or her base salary, plus his or her annual bonus at target prorated through the date of termination, paid in equal installments over 12 months following the date of termination, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if a Sale of Business occurs and within 12 months following the closing of such Sale of Business either the executive is terminated without Cause, or executive's position is materially reduced in remuneration or scope of duties ("Good Reason") and the executive terminates his or her employment, then the executive would be entitled to receive (i) two times his or her base salary plus his or her annual bonus at target and (ii) his or her annual bonus at target prorated through the date of termination, paid in equal installments over 24 months following the date of termination.

For Mr. Huckins, his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement provides for severance in the event of certain types of termination:

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if Mr. Huckins is terminated without Cause (defined below) prior to a Sale of Business (defined below), Mr. Huckins would be entitled to receive (i) two times his base salary plus his target annual bonus amount, and (ii) his annual bonus at target prorated through the date of termination, paid in equal installments over 24 months following the date of termination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if a Sale of Business occurs and within 12 months following the closing of such Sale of Business either Mr. Huckins is terminated without Cause, or Mr. Huckins terminates his employment for Good Reason, then Mr. Huckins would be entitled to receive (i) three times his base salary plus his target annual bonus amount, and (ii) his annual bonus at target prorated through the date of termination, paid in equal installments over 36 months following the date of termination.

The Employment Agreements provide that if the executive breaches any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement to which he or she is a party, the executive's right to receive further payments of severance amounts will be terminated.

In addition, for all NEOs, if the executive is terminated without Cause, then the executive and his or her eligible dependents will continue to be covered by the Company's health plan for 18 months from the date of termination.

"Sale of Business" is defined in the Employment Agreements as the sale or other disposition of (x) more than 50% of the shares or other equity interests of the Company or the Company's direct or indirect parent to a non-affiliated party (which, shall not include a sale or an offering by Packaging Finance Limited of some or all of its shares in the Company, so long as the remainder of the shares continue to be owned by the public), or (y) more than 50% of the businesses or assets that, as of the most recent year end, generated more than 50% of the Company's EBITDA (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors, based on the Company's regularly prepared financial statements), provided that a disposition as a result of lender foreclosure on assets or pursuant to a bankruptcy or judicially administered reorganization shall not constitute a Sale of Business. The Employment Agreements also provide that the executive's position shall not be materially reduced by reason of the Company being smaller or having less operations as a result of the Sale of Business so long as the executive's duties and responsibilities are generally consistent with his or her duties and responsibilities prior to the Sale of Business.

"Cause" is defined in the Employment Agreements as in the good faith determination of the CEO or Board of Directors that the executive has engaged in conduct consisting of (i) dishonesty or other serious misconduct related to his or her duties as an employee of the Company, or (ii) willful and continual failure (unless due to incapacity resulting from physical or mental illness) to perform the duties of the executive's employment after written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the executive by the Company specifically identifying the manner in which the executive has not substantially performed such duties.

*Equity Awards*

The RSU and PSU award agreements provide that in the event of a termination of service due to the participant's death, Retirement (as defined below) or Enhanced Retirement (as defined below), a pro rata portion of RSUs and PSUs would vest.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

The RSU award agreements applicable to the NEOs with a two or three year vesting period provide that in the event of a termination of service due to the participant's death following the first anniversary of the grant date, a pro rata portion of the RSUs will vest on the termination date, determined as follows: (a) if the termination occurs between the first and second anniversaries of the grant date, the sum of (i) the number of RSUs that would have vested in the second vesting period, multiplied by a fraction equal to the full calendar months the participant has been employed from the grant date through the date of termination (the "Service Months"), over 24, plus (ii) the number of RSUs that would have vested in the third vesting period, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 36; and (b) if the termination occurs between the second and third anniversaries of the grant date, the number of RSUs that would have vested in the third vesting period, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 36. For RSU awards with fewer than three vesting periods, in the event of a termination of service due to the participant's death following the first anniversary of the grant date, a pro rata portion of the RSUs will vest on the termination date, determined based on the number of RSUs that would have vested in the second vesting period multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 24.

In the event of a participant's Retirement after the first anniversary of the grant date, a pro rata portion of the RSUs with respect to the applicable vesting period in which termination occurs will vest on the first scheduled vesting date following termination, based on the number of full calendar months the participant has been employed in the applicable vesting period through the date of termination, over 12.

In the event of a participant's Enhanced Retirement (a) on or after the six month anniversary of the grant date but prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, a pro rata portion of the RSUs will vest on each scheduled vesting date as follows (i) on the first vesting date following termination, the number of RSUs that would have vested in the first vesting period, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 12, (ii) on the second vesting date following termination, the number of RSUs that would have vested in the second vesting period, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 24, and (iii) on the final vesting date, the number of RSUs that would have vested in the third vesting period, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 36; and (b) on or after the first anniversary of the grant date, the RSUs will remain outstanding and will vest on each regularly scheduled vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to RSU award agreements that do not provide for Retirement or Enhanced Retirement treatment, a participant's termination of service, including a termination characterized as a retirement, will be treated as a termination other than for death, Retirement or Enhanced Retirement, and no pro rata or continued vesting will apply. Any such RSUs that are unvested as of the participant's termination date will be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the applicable RSU award agreement.

The PSU award agreements applicable to the NEOs provide that in the event of a termination of service due to the participant's death following the first anniversary of the grant date, a pro rata portion will vest on the termination date, based on the number of PSUs that the CNG Committee determines would have vested based on the likely level of achievement of the performance conditions, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 36. In the event of a participant's Retirement that occurs after the first anniversary of the grant date, the PSUs will remain outstanding and a pro rata portion will vest on the scheduled vesting date, based on the number of achieved PSUs, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 36. In the event of a participant's Enhanced Retirement (a) after the six months anniversary of the grant date but prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, the PSUs will remain outstanding and a pro rata portion will vest on the scheduled vesting date, based on the number of achieved PSUs, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of Service Months over 36; and (b) after the first anniversary of the grant date, the PSUs will remain outstanding and all achieved PSUs will vest on the scheduled vesting date.

For purposes of these award agreements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a."Retirement" means a participant's voluntary termination of service on or after the earliest to occur of: (i) the date on which such participant attains age 62, (ii) the date on which such participant attains age 55 and has completed 10 years of service with the Company or an affiliate (or predecessor thereof) or (iii) such participant's age plus years of service with the Company or an affiliate (or predecessor thereof) totals at least 70.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b."Enhanced Retirement" means: (A) the participant has a voluntary termination of service on or after the earliest to occur of: (1) the date on which such participant attains age 62, (2) the date on which such participant attains age 55 and has completed 15 years of service with the Company or an affiliate (or predecessor thereof) or (3) such participant's age plus years of service with the Company or an affiliate (or predecessor thereof) totals at least 75; (B) the participant enters into an extended restrictive covenant agreement; (C) the participant is not eligible to receive, and does not receive, any severance payments or benefits; and (D) the participant provides the Company with at least six months' advance written notice of the participant's retirement.

The extended vesting provisions are further subject to the participant's continuous compliance with applicable non-competition and other restrictive covenant agreements.

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of a Change in Control (defined below), outstanding equity awards shall immediately vest and settle. The PSU award agreements applicable to the NEOs provide that the number of unvested PSUs that will vest effective as of the date of such Change in Control will be based on the likely level of achievement of the performance conditions or, with respect to PSUs for which the performance period was completed, based on the actual level of achievement of the performance conditions, in each case as determined in the sole discretion of the CNG Committee.

In October 2024 for Mr. Huckins and Mr. Lowe and in January 2026 for all other NEOs, the CNG Committee determined that all future awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan to these executives will provide for "double trigger" vesting upon a change in control, instead of "single trigger" vesting.

The Equity Incentive Plan defines "Change in Control" generally as the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a direct or indirect change in ownership or control of the Company effected through one transaction or a series of related transactions within a 12-month period, whereby any person other than the Company, directly or indirectly acquires or maintains beneficial ownership of securities of the Company constituting more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company's equity securities issued and outstanding immediately after such acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at any time during a period of 24 consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board cease for any reason to constitute a majority of members of the Board, with certain exceptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the consummation of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with any other corporation or entity, other than a merger, amalgamation or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to such merger, amalgamation or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining issued and outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or, if applicable, the ultimate parent thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power and total fair market value of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or parent issued and outstanding immediately after such merger, amalgamation or consolidation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the consummation of any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer to any person (other than an affiliate of the Company), in one transaction or a series of related transactions within a 12-month period, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

*Potential Payments Table*

The table below reflects the estimated value of compensation and benefits payable to each of our NEOs upon the occurrence of certain events. The amounts in the table are based on a hypothetical termination of employment or change in control date on December 31, 2025. None of our NEOs are eligible for Retirement or Enhanced Retirement benefits as of December 31, 2025.

(1)These amounts represent the amount of base salary and target AIP payout, if applicable, multiplied by the applicable multiple, payable to the NEO pursuant to the terms of his or her employment agreement.

(2)These amounts represent the target 2025 AIP payout prorated for NEOs who were not employed during the full year of 2025.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

(3)The value of RSUs and PSUs is determined by multiplying the number of unvested units for which vesting would be accelerated or that would continue to vest following the specified event by $22.92, the closing price for our common stock on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of 2025.

(4)As of December 31, 2025, the NEOs held PSUs that were granted in 2025 with a one-year performance period of 2025. Following 2025, the CNG Committee determined the number of PSUs that were earned by each NEO. That number of earned PSUs, in addition to the earned PSUs that were granted in 2023 (for Mr. Lowe) and 2024 (for Mr. Huckins and Mr. Lowe), were utilized to determine the value of PSUs reflected in this table.

**CEO PAY RATIO**

The following is a reasonable estimate of the ratio of the annual total compensation of Scott Huckins, our Chief Executive Officer during 2025 (our "CEO"), to the annual total compensation of the median of our other employees, together with an explanation of our methodology in calculating the same.

For 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The annual total compensation of our median employee was $69,461; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, was $6,722,725.

Based on this information for 2025, we reasonably estimate that the ratio of our CEO's annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 97:1. Our pay ratio estimate has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

We identified our median employee as of December 31, 2025, at which time we had approximately 6,000 employees, all of whom are U.S. employees. Our median employee was identified based on the cash compensation paid related to 2025 to all members of our workforce including full-time and part-time employees, other than our CEO, who were employed on December 31, 2025. We annualized the cash compensation of employees who were employed on December 31, 2025 but had not worked for us for all of 2025.

For purposes of determining the cash compensation paid related to 2025, we included the amount of base salary the employee received during 2025 and the amount of any cash incentives earned in 2025.

Once we identified our median employee, we then determined that employee's total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determine the total compensation of our named executive officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table disclosed above.

None of the NEOs are accruing benefits under a pension plan for services rendered in any of the covered years, and therefore no additions are required for pension plan service cost in determining CAP.

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assumptions used in the valuation of equity awards for purposes of calculating compensation actually paid were the same as at the grant date except for adjusting for expected and actual performance of PSUs at each measurement date.

(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total shareholder return as calculated based on a fixed investment of $100 measured from the market close on December 31, 2020 through and including the end of the fiscal year for each year reported in the table.

(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The complete list of our peer group used for the TSR calculation is the same group of companies used by us for purposes of the performance graph in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and comprises: Church & Dwight Co., Inc., The Clorox Company, Colgate-Palmolive Company, Energizer Holdings, Inc., Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Newell Brands Inc., The Procter & Gamble Company, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. and WD-40 Company.

(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our company-selected measure, which is the measure we believe represents the most important financial performance measure not otherwise presented in the table above that we use to link Compensation Actually Paid to our NEOs for fiscal 2025 to our company's performance is Adjusted EBIT. Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Appendix A to this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP measure.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT** 

The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock of the Company beneficially owned as of March 2, 2026, by: (i) each director; (ii) each of the NEOs; (iii) all current executive officers and directors as a group; and (iv) persons known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except as noted by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe based on the information provided to the Company that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

The table lists applicable percentage ownership based on 210,735,690 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 2, 2026. The number of shares beneficially owned includes shares of our common stock that each person has the right to acquire within 60 days of March 2, 2026, including upon the vesting and settlement of RSUs. These shares are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock owned by such person but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock owned by any other person.

 **DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS**

Based solely on a review of the copies of Forms 4 and 5 furnished to us, or written representations from reporting persons that all reportable transactions were reported, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, all of our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% holders filed the reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) on a timely basis, except that the Form 4 filing made on June 2, 2025 for Jill Barnett for one transaction was late due to an administrative oversight.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS**

Packaging Finance Limited ("PFL") owns the majority of our outstanding common stock, and until April 1, 2025, owned the majority of the outstanding common stock of Pactiv Evergreen Inc. and its subsidiaries ("PEI Group"). During 2025, we sold and purchased various goods and services with PEI Group, as a related party, under contractual arrangements that expire over a variety of periods through December 31, 2027. The prices and other terms of these agreements were negotiated on what we believe to be an arm's-length basis.

On April 1, 2025, PFL completed the sale of PEI Group, which was a related party through March 31, 2025, to an unrelated party. Accordingly, transactions with PEI Group from April 1, 2025 are no longer classified as related party transactions. The arrangements under which we have transacted with PEI Group and Rank during the year ending December 31, 2025 are described below.

**Arrangements**

*Supply and Freight Agreements with Pactiv*

We have entered into supply agreements to continue selling products to and buying products from Pactiv. These agreements will expire over a variety of periods through December 31, 2027. Certain of the products we manufacture and sell to Pactiv are made using equipment in our plants that is owned by Pactiv, and certain of the products that Pactiv manufactures and sells to us are made using equipment in Pactiv's plants that is owned by us. Under the supply agreements, we and Pactiv agree to maintain the other party's equipment that is in such party's plants, provided that any required capital expenditures related to such equipment are the equipment owner's responsibility. We have (i) sold products to Pactiv, primarily aluminum foil and aluminum foil containers, and (ii) purchased products from Pactiv, primarily tableware. For 2025, revenues from products sold to Pactiv were $94 million and we paid $245 million for purchases from Pactiv.

We have entered into a freight services agreement with Pactiv to provide certain freight services for shipments from our plants to our warehouses (including Pactiv warehouses) and from our warehouses to our customers. The term of the freight services under the agreement will vary by location, with a final termination date of December 31, 2027. For 2025, Pactiv charged us freight costs of $13 million.

**Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons** 

We have adopted a Related Person Transaction Policy that provides that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related party transaction with us without the approval or ratification of a designated committee of our board of directors (which will initially be the Audit Committee) or other committee designated by our board of directors made up solely of independent directors. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of 5% or more of our common stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and such person would have a direct or indirect interest, must be presented to our Audit Committee or other committee of independent directors for review to determine whether the related party involved has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. In reviewing any such proposal, our Audit Committee or other committee of independent directors are to consider the relevant facts of the transaction, including the risks, costs and benefits to us and whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to elect three directors to serve until the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to approve, on an advisory basis, the 2025 compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof.

**How can I participate in the Annual Meeting?**

The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting. There will be no physical meeting location.

If you wish to submit a question during the meeting, log into the virtual meeting platform at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/REYN2026*, and follow the instructions in the virtual meeting platform for submitting a question. Questions must pertain to meeting matters, and the question and answer session will be subject to time constraints and rules of conduct.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

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

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of stock generally entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares that are voted "abstain" or "withheld" and broker "non-votes" are counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

***What is the difference between a "stockholder of record" and a "street name" holder?***

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, then the broker, bank or other nominee is considered to be the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, while you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares. In that case, your shares are said to be held in "street name."

***What are broker non-votes?***

If your shares are held in "street name," your broker, bank or other nominee is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. If you do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, it will still be able to vote your shares with respect to certain "discretionary" items, but will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to "non-discretionary" items. Proposals 1 and 3 are "non-discretionary" items. If you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote with respect to those proposals, it may not vote for those proposals, and those votes will be counted as broker "non-votes." Proposal 2 is considered to be a discretionary item, and your broker, bank or other nominee will be able to vote on this proposal even if it does not receive instructions from you.

***What vote is required to approve each proposal?***

The following sets forth the votes that are required from the holders of common stock to approve each of the proposals, and the impact of abstentions and broker non-votes:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Proposal<br>Number** | **Subject** | **Vote Required** | **Impact of Abstentions and<br>Broker Non-Votes, if any** |
| 1 | Election of directors | Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes present and entitled to vote. The nominees receiving the most FOR votes will be elected. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as votes cast on the proposal and will not affect the outcome of the vote. |
| 2 | Ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm | The holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting must vote FOR to approve the proposal. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as votes cast on the proposal and will not affect the outcome of the vote. |
| 3 | Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers | The holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting must vote FOR to approve the proposal. | Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as votes cast on the proposal and will not affect the outcome of the vote. |

***What are the Board of Directors' recommendations on how I should vote my shares?***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Proposal 1*: **FOR** all nominees for election as directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Proposal 2*: **FOR** the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Proposal 3*: **FOR** the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

***How can I vote?***

***During the Meeting:*** If you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting and to vote during the meeting, we will provide you with an online ballot during the Annual Meeting through the virtual stockholder meeting platform at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/REYN2026*. To vote at the meeting, please follow the instructions on your proxy card. We recommend you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. You can always change your vote at the meeting.

***By Proxy:*** You may vote by proxy through the following means.

If you are a stockholder of record, you have several choices. You can vote your shares by proxy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• by mailing a proxy card;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• via the internet; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• over the telephone.

Please refer to the specific instructions set forth on the Notice or printed proxy materials. For security reasons, our electronic voting system has been designed to authenticate your identity as a stockholder.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, the firm that holds your shares will provide you with materials and instructions for voting your shares.

If you complete and submit your proxy before the meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares represented by your proxy in accordance with your instructions. If you submit a proxy without giving voting instructions, your shares will be voted in the manner recommended by the Board of Directors on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement, and as the persons named as proxies may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented at the meeting.

***Can I change my vote after I have submitted a proxy?***

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy by (1) following the instructions on the Notice or proxy card, as applicable, and entering a new vote by mail, over the internet or by phone by the time specified on the Notice or proxy card, as applicable, (2) sending a written notice of revocation to Reynolds Consumer Products, 1900 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045 Attention: Corporate Secretary, or (3) attending the Annual Meeting and voting through the online platform (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke a proxy).

If a broker, bank or other nominee holds your shares, you must contact them in order to find out how to revoke or change your vote.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i06f43b319c0e46f9b7bffb1736e811fb_7)</u>

***What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?***

If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place (including, without limitation, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies), the persons named as proxies will have discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment. We do not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the Annual Meeting.

***Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?*** 

The Company is making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing and distributing the Notice and these proxy materials and soliciting votes. If you choose to access the proxy materials or vote over the internet, you are responsible for any internet access charges that you may incur. Our directors, officers and employees may, without compensation other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies through further mailings, personal conversations, facsimile transmissions, e-mails, or otherwise.

***What is the deadline for submitting a stockholder proposal for the 2027 annual meeting?*** 

Any stockholder proposal intended to be included in the Proxy Statement for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must satisfy the SEC regulations under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and must be received no later than November 20, 2026.

In addition, our Bylaws contain advance notice provisions requiring a stockholder who wishes to present a proposal or nominate directors at our next Annual Meeting of Stockholders (whether or not to be included in the Proxy Statement) to comply with certain requirements, including providing timely written notice thereof in accordance with our Bylaws. To be timely for our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, any such proposal must be delivered in writing to our Secretary at our principal executive offices between the close of business on October 31, 2026 and December 30, 2026. If the date of the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then notice by the stockholder must be received by us no earlier than the close of business on the 120<sup>th</sup> day prior to the date of such Annual Meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (1) 70 days prior to the date of such Annual Meeting or (2) the 10<sup>th</sup> day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements, in order to comply with the universal proxy rules, a stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees for election at the next annual meeting, other than the Company's nominees, must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 1, 2027.

The foregoing is subject to the Stockholders Agreement between the Company and PFL which provides that PFL has the right to nominate all of our directors so long as the Hart Entities beneficially own at least 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock; a majority of our directors so long as they own at least 40% of our stock; and at least one director so long as they own at least 10% of our stock.

***What is "householding"?***

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of "householding" proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, Proxy Statement and 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders, as applicable, is being delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of any of these documents to you if you write to us at Reynolds Consumer Products Inc., 1900 W. Field Court, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045, Attention: Corporate Secretary or call us at (800) 879-5067. If you want to receive separate copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, Proxy Statement, or 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us at the above address or telephone number.

**APPENDIX A**

**RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

Adjusted EBIT is referenced in this Proxy Statement and represents net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense and IPO and separation-related costs, as well as other non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBIT Growth in 2025 is the change in Adjusted EBIT in 2025 compared to Adjusted EBIT in 2024.

Adjusted EPS is referenced in this Proxy Statement and represents earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus IPO and separation-related costs and other non-recurring costs. Adjusted EPS Growth in 2025 is the change in Adjusted EPS in 2025 compared to Adjusted EPS in 2024.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is referenced in this Proxy Statement and represents net cash provided by operating activities in the period, calculated in accordance with GAAP, minus the amount of property, plant and equipment acquired and the cash paid for refinancing of long-term debt in the period.

Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

The following tables contain a reconciliation of Net Income and Net Income Change, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Change for each of the periods indicated:
