------

**Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Annual Meeting**

**Q: Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?**

A: Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), we are permitted to furnish proxy materials (including our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K) to our stockholders on the Internet, rather than mailing paper copies to each stockholder. If you received a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice of Availability") by U.S. or electronic mail, you will not receive a paper copy of these proxy materials unless you request one. Instead, the Notice of Availability tells you how to access and review the proxy materials and vote your shares. If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials free of charge, follow the instructions in the Notice of Availability.

**Q: When is the Record Date and who may vote at the Annual Meeting?**

A: Our Board of Directors (also referred to as the "Board" with the members of the Board referred to as "Directors") set March 13, 2023 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. All stockholders who owned Tempur Sealy International common stock of record at the close of business on March 13, 2023 may virtually attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters to be voted on. On March 13, 2023, there were 172,070,974 shares of Tempur Sealy International common stock outstanding. The common stock is the only class of securities eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting. There are no cumulative voting rights.

**Q. How can I attend and participate in the virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders?**

A: Stockholders are encouraged to vote and submit proxies in advance of the Annual Meeting by Internet or phone. All stockholders are entitled to attend the virtual Annual Meeting; however, you are entitled to vote, view the list of stockholders of record and submit questions at the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record of the Company at the close of business on the record date, or if you were a beneficial owner as of the record date. The record date was March 13, 2023.

If you plan to attend the virtual meeting, you will need to visit <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TPX2023</u>. You will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of the proxy materials, on your proxy card, or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. If you do not have a 16-digit control number, you may still attend the meeting as a guest in listen-only mode. We encourage stockholders to log into the website and access the webcast early, beginning approximately 15 minutes before the Annual Meeting's 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time start time.

**Q. Will I be able to ask questions in the virtual Annual Meeting?**

A: As stated above, stockholders of record and proxy holders who provide their valid 16-digit control number will be able to participate in the Annual Meeting, which includes asking questions.

To submit questions during the Annual Meeting, stockholders may log into the virtual meeting website with their 16-digit control number, click the "Question Topic" button, followed by typing the question into the text box, and clicking the Submit icon. You will be notified that your question has been successfully submitted.

------

Only stockholders with a valid 16-digit control number will be allowed to ask questions. Questions pertinent to Annual Meeting matters will be answered during the meeting as time allows. If we receive substantially similar written questions, we may group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition and allow time for additional question topics. If we are unable to respond to a stockholder's properly submitted question due to time constraints, we will respond directly to that stockholder using the contact information provided.

Additional information regarding the rules and procedures for participating in the virtual Annual Meeting will be provided in our meeting rules of conduct, which stockholders can view during the meeting at the meeting website.

**Q. May I submit questions before or after the Annual Meeting?**

A: Yes. If you have any questions, please email the Company at investor.relations@tempursealy.com. If you provide a valid 16-digit control number and your question is provided in advance of the Annual Meeting and is an appropriate Annual Meeting matter, then we will answer your question during the Q&A session of the Annual Meeting. Otherwise, an appropriate Company representative will respond following the Annual Meeting.

**Q. What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual Annual Meeting?**

A: If you encounter technical difficulties accessing or during the virtual Annual Meeting, Technical Support Numbers will be available on the registration page up to 15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting time.

**Q: How many shares must be present at the Annual Meeting?**

A: A majority of Tempur Sealy International's outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Are virtually present at the Annual Meeting and vote during the Annual Meeting through <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TPX2023</u>; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Have properly submitted a proxy card, via the Internet, telephone or by mail.

Abstentions and "broker non-votes" (as further described below) are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

**Q: What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?**

A: There are four (4) proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Election of seven (7) Directors to each serve for a one-year term and until the Director's successor has been duly elected and qualified (Proposal No. 1).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ratification of the appointment of the firm of Ernst & Young LLP as Tempur Sealy International's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2023 (Proposal No. 2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (Proposal No. 3).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (Proposal No. 4).

**Q: What is the voting requirement to approve the proposals?**

A: Assuming a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, the following votes will be necessary to approve the proposals described in this Proxy Statement:

------

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **<u>Proposal</u>** | **<u>Voting Options</u>** | **<u>Vote Required</u>** | **<u>Effect of Abstentions</u>** | **<u>Effect of "Broker Non-Votes"</u>** |
| **No. 1**: Election of directors | For, against or abstain on each nominee | Affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast(\*) | No effect | No effect |
| **No. 2**: Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for 2023 | For, against or abstain | Affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon | Treated as votes against | N/A |
| **No. 3**: Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers | For, against or abstain | Affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon | Treated as votes against | No effect |
| **No. 4**: Approval, on an advisory basis, of the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation | Stockholders may select whether such vote should occur every year, every<br>two years, or every three years, or stockholders may abstain from voting | The option that receives the greatest number of votes of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon(\*\*) | No effect | No effect |

---

(\*)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For more details regarding contested and uncontested elections and the required resignation of directors, please refer to the section entitled "Board of Directors' Meetings, Committees of the Board and Related Matters - Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws; Majority Voting for Directors."

(\*\*)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because this advisory vote has three possible voting options (every one year, every two years, or every three years), the option that receives the most number of votes by stockholders will be considered the preferred frequency and recommendation of the stockholders.

**Q: If I hold my shares in a brokerage account and do not provide voting instructions to my broker, will my shares be voted?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee holding shares of our common stock for you, your shares of our common stock will not be voted with respect to any proposal for which the stockholder of record does not have discretionary authority to vote. Rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") determine whether proposals presented at stockholder meetings are "discretionary" or "non-discretionary." If a proposal is determined to be discretionary, your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee is permitted under NYSE rules to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. If a proposal is determined to be non-discretionary, your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee is not permitted under NYSE rules to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner returns a valid proxy, but does not vote on a particular proposal because it does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and has not received voting instructions from the stockholder for whom it is holding shares.

Under the rules of the NYSE, the proposal relating to the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is a discretionary proposal. Accordingly, if you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions on this proposal to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee holding shares for you, your shares may still be voted with respect to the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.

------

Under the rules of the NYSE, the proposals relating to election of directors, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the vote, on an advisory basis, of the frequency of votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers are non-discretionary proposals. Accordingly, if you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions on these proposals to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to those proposals. Without your voting instructions, a broker non-vote will occur with respect to your shares on each non-discretionary proposal for which you have not provided voting instructions, if the shares are voted on any other proposal.

**Q: What is Tempur Sealy International's voting recommendations?**

A: Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR"** each of the nominees to the Board (Proposal No. 1),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR"** the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Tempur Sealy International's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2023 (Proposal No. 2),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR"** the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (Proposal No. 3), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR"** a frequency of **<u>EVERY YEAR</u>** to hold an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (Proposal No. 4).

**Q: How would my shares be voted if I sign the card but do not specify how they should be voted?**

A: If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how you want your shares to be voted, the persons designated by the Board to vote the proxies returned pursuant to this solicitation will vote your shares as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR"** each of the nominees to the Board (Proposal No. 1),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR"** the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Tempur Sealy International's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2023 (Proposal No. 2),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR"** the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (Proposal No. 3), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR"** a frequency of **<u>EVERY YEAR</u>** to hold an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (Proposal No. 4).

**Q: Does Tempur Sealy International expect other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting?** 

A: Our Board is not aware of any business to be transacted at the Annual Meeting other than as described in this Proxy Statement. If any other item or proposal properly comes before the Annual Meeting (including, but not limited to, a proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting in order to solicit votes in favor of any proposal contained in this Proxy Statement), the proxies will be voted as the Board recommends by the persons designated by the Board to vote the proxies.

**Q: How may I vote my shares during the Annual Meeting?**

A: If you choose to virtually attend the Annual Meeting and want to vote during the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of the proxy materials, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. However, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

**Q: How may I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?**

A: You may vote by proxy. We recommend you vote by proxy even if you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. You may always change your vote at the Annual Meeting. Giving us your proxy means you authorize us to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in the manner you direct.

***<u>Stockholders of Record</u>***

If your shares are held in your name, you may vote by proxy in three (3) convenient ways:

*Via Internet:* Go to <u>http://www.proxyvote.com</u> and follow the instructions. You will need to enter the 16-digit control number printed on your proxy materials.

If your shares are held for you by a broker, bank or nominee, you must contact the broker, bank or nominee to revoke a previously authorized proxy.

**Board Diversity**

The Board is committed to continuing our efforts to ensure that the Board is diverse in demographic, thought, and experience. The Board is made up of seven directors, 43% of whom are female, and 14% of whom are of racial / ethnic minorities. In line with the Company's strategic objectives, our Directors demonstrate attributes and experience that are conducive to representing the best interests of our stockholders, including a range of skill sets, perspectives, backgrounds, ethnicity, genders, and qualifications. Each Director's unique background gives the Board as a whole competence and experience in a wide variety of areas, including corporate governance and board service, executive management, investing, finance, manufacturing, consumer products, sales, marketing, human capital, and international business.

**Sustainability Governance**

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, on behalf of the Board, is responsible for reviewing the Company's practices and positions relating to ESG issues that may affect the Company's business and key stakeholders and for overseeing ESG matters. The NCG Committee regularly reviews the effectiveness of management's strategies, programs, and policy implementation with respect to responsible sourcing, climate change, recycling and waste management, energy initiatives, corporate governance practices and procedures, and stakeholder management. Additionally, the Audit Committee conducts oversight of global compliance, information technology, cybersecurity and safety and health. The Compensation Committee has oversight of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and human rights considerations. Tempur Sealy management and the Board's Lead Director conduct annual outreach to top shareholders to solicit, among other things, feedback on our ESG initiatives. Their feedback is reviewed by the executive team and Board of Directors for their consideration.

Our Chairman and CEO has ultimate responsibility for the Company's ESG performance. Executive officers are held accountable for the Company's ESG performance through the Company's performance-based long-term equity incentive plan. In both 2021 and 2022, ESG metrics collectively accounted for 10% of the performance based restricted stock unit awards. See "Executive Compensation and Related Information – Compensation Discussion and Analysis – 2022 Executive Compensation Program in Detail" for more information.

Our ESG Working Group is a cross functional group tasked to operationalize ESG by working with subject matter experts across the Company. This group is advised by a third party that brings external ESG insights to help inform our strategic objectives, and is overseen by the Chief Financial Officer.

**Business Ethics**

Tempur Sealy is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. We believe our success is tied to being an ethical and respectful corporate citizen. We have a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, located on the Tempur Sealy Investor website at http://investor.tempursealy.com under the caption "Sustainability and Corporate Governance - Corporate Governance", that applies to our entire organization. On an annual basis, 100% of our global employee base receives training on the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics policy.

It is the responsibility of each associate, executive officer, and member of the Board of Directors to promptly report perceived violations of law or the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Each associate is charged with reporting violations to the Ethics Line, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reports received through the Ethics Line are kept confidential and anonymous, except as necessary to conduct, conclude, and, if appropriate, take legal action as a result of the investigation. Information and metrics relating to our hotline are reported to our Board of Directors.

**Human Capital Management**

As a global organization, our workforce and communities are important to us. We believe in investing in our workforce to promote health and safety, train and develop future leaders and corporate citizens, and encourage diversity and inclusiveness. Our Board plays a key role in the oversight of our culture, setting the tone at the top and holding management accountable for maintaining high ethical standards.

***Inclusion and Diversity*** 

We have a diverse global workforce that includes a range of skillsets, perspectives, backgrounds, ethnicity, genders and qualifications. We are committed to fostering a culture that is inclusive and representative of the communities where we operate. As an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer, we are committed to providing opportunities to all employees and applicants and prohibiting discrimination and harassment. The following are some of the actions that we take to realize our commitment to equal opportunity employment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Promote the consideration of a diverse slate of qualified candidates during the hiring process

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employ a uniform, global process for determining compensation based on experience and skillsets to remove potential biases

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Conduct outreach with organizations in each of our local communities to increase the flow of minority, female, veteran, and disabled applicants for employment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Analyze gender and minority pay equity regularly and adjust as warranted

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Participate in external, community-based activities sponsored by local organizations, including those that assist women, minorities and veterans

As part of ongoing efforts to support our understanding, tracking, and transparency of inclusion and diversity within our employee population, we disclosed additional metrics in our 2023 Corporate Social Values Report located on the Tempur Sealy Investor website at http://investor.tempursealy.com under the caption "Sustainability and Corporate Governance - Annual Reports".

***People Development and Training***

Our goal is to design and offer development opportunities that improve Company performance by meeting individual learning and development needs and strengthen our culture by reinforcing Company values. We use the 70/20/10 learning and development model. This approach gives employees the opportunity to develop their skills through a combination of job experience (70%), mentoring (20%), and formal training (10%). Training at Tempur Sealy includes, but is not limited to, formal training programs, leadership development mentorships, professional and industry conferences, and education assistance.

We offer employees access to a learning management system where they can take courses on a variety of individual and leadership development topics. All our professional employees have access to this system, and there are thousands of individual modules offered through our partnership with Skillsoft.

------

**Risk Management**

***Enterprise Risk Management***

We utilize an enterprise risk management process pursuant to which we seek to identify various enterprise risks related to product safety regulations, global environmental exposure, site environmental matters, IT system interruption and cybersecurity, supply chain matters, business continuity, health and safety incidents, and other matters. Our enterprise risk management process includes assessing, prioritizing and measuring the risks, implementing mitigation plans, and reviewing the results. Internal audit and senior management present their findings to our Board of Directors on a regular basis.

***Human Rights Risk***

We have a Human Rights Policy that applies to our global organization. The policy is informed by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization conventions. We comply with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's "conflict minerals" disclosure and reporting requirements. We undertake annual diligence to ensure that none of our products include conflict minerals (e.g., tin, gold, tungsten, tantalum) that originate in the areas covered by the conflict minerals regulations. We include cobalt in our annual due diligence efforts. We undertake annual due diligence to ensure that none of the materials we import into the U.S. are mined, produced or partially manufactured by forced labor from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang), or by an entity on the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act entity list. Our diligence efforts ensure compliance with Section 307 of the U.S. Tariff Act.

***Climate Risk***

Renewable energy and energy efficiency are increasingly important to our own operations and sustainability measures. Across our operations, we are investing in increased resource efficiency and improving our production and distribution processes. Not only do these efforts help address our impact on the climate, but they also improve operational efficiencies and decrease our resource costs. We are continuously improving our understanding of our resource usage and are taking efforts to improve the tracking and monitoring of those resources.

Our ESG Working Group has engaged a third-party sustainability specialist to help us further our ESG program and understand how climate change impacts our business. The risks identified throughout this process are transitional risks related to supply chain disruption and physical risks associated with natural disasters. We have also identified opportunities relating to lower-emission energy sources and more efficient use of resources throughout the manufacturing and distribution process. Both areas provide the chance to lessen the Company's impact on the environment while improving operational efficiency and lessening the reliance on and cost of energy used in operations.

In 2020, we announced our commitment to achieving carbon neutrality in our global operations by 2040. Our aim is to reduce or offset 100% of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from our wholly owned manufacturing, retail, and logistics operations by 2040. We achieved emissions reductions in our global footprint in 2021 and 2022 by focusing on energy conservation, renewable energy, fleet fuel efficiency, and pursuing environmental credits. In 2023, we also substantially aligned our sustainability reporting to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") framework. We expect to broaden and deepen our TCFD alignment and disclosure over time as our climate-related initiatives continue to grow and evolve.

***Data Security and Privacy Protection***

Our Audit Committee and Board devote significant time and attention to cybersecurity and cyber-incident preparedness and response. Our Audit Committee receives regular reports from the Company's Chief Information Officer, and other members of management on cyberthreats and incident response. These reports address a range of topics, including updates on technology trends, policies and practices, and specific and ongoing efforts to prevent, detect, and respond to internal and external critical threats. We have a dedicated team that oversees and implements our cybersecurity management compliance with applicable legal and third-party data protection and data privacy requirements, and incident response and crisis management plans. The team also provides ongoing information security awareness education, including simulated phishing trainings and cybersecurity training for our employees.

------

We completed the implementation of a new ERP system in 2022. The new system is expected to significantly increase the accuracy of the IT Audit Logical Access Control using templated role security and a simplified user management process. We now have fewer systems to maintain; therefore, our risk is reduced from the likelihood of inappropriate access being granted.

In connection with the sales of our products, we often collect and process personal data from our customers. We have implemented a global compliance system and have put procedures and measures in place to facilitate adherence to the continuing compliance requirements of data privacy laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We have a privacy policy with additional information available on our brand websites.

**No Incorporation By Reference** 

In our filings with the SEC, information is sometimes "incorporated by reference." This means that we are referring you to information that has previously been filed with the SEC and the information should be considered as part of the particular filing. This proxy statement includes several website addresses or references to additional Company reports found on those websites. These website addresses are inactive, textual references only. Unless otherwise noted, the information on these websites, including the information contained in those reports, is not part of this proxy statement and is not incorporated by reference.

**Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws; Majority Voting for Directors**

The Company's By-Laws provide that a Director in an uncontested election will be elected by a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. In the event that the number of votes "against" a Director exceeds the number of votes "for" that Director, that Director must tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept the resignation. In an election for Directors where the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected - a contested election - the By-Laws provide that each Director shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Neither Tempur Sealy International's Certificate of Incorporation nor its By-Laws provide for a classified Board.

------

**Board of Directors' Meetings**

The Board held six (6) meetings in 2022. The SEC requires disclosure of the name of any Director who, during the last full fiscal year (calendar year 2022), attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of (a) the Board during the period for which he or she has been a Director and (b) all committees of the Board on which the Director served during the periods that he or she served. Each Director attended more than 75% of the combined total number of meetings of the Board and its committees held in 2022 during the period in which he or she served as a Director or committee member.

**Board and Committee Independence; Audit Committee Financial Experts**

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board shall consist of a majority of Directors who are independent within the meaning of the NYSE rules governing the composition of the Board and its committees (the "NYSE Independence Rules"). On the basis of information solicited from each Director, the Board has determined that none of Evelyn S. Dilsaver, Cathy R. Gates, John A. Heil, Meredith Siegfried Madden or Richard W. Neu have a material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company) within the meaning of the NYSE Independence Rules and accordingly are "independent" for purposes of the NYSE Independence Rules.

The Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is "independent" as defined in the NYSE Independence Rules and the rules of the SEC.

On the basis of information solicited from each member of the Audit Committee, the Board has also determined that all members of the Audit Committee are "audit committee financial experts" within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), and have "accounting or related financial management expertise" within the meaning of the applicable NYSE rules. See "Election of Directors - Nominees to Board of Directors" for disclosure regarding such audit committee financial experts' relevant experience. The Audit Committee is an "audit committee" for purposes of Section 3(a)(58) of the Exchange Act.

The Board has determined that Scott L. Thompson, who serves as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tempur Sealy, and Simon John Dyer, who serves as a director and Chief Executive Officer of Dyer Holdings Pty Ltd, do not qualify as independent directors under the NYSE Independence Rules. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" in this proxy statement for more information regarding Mr. Dyer's relationship with the Company.

**Board Leadership Structure**

As stated in its Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has no set policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). In connection with its search for a new CEO in 2015, both the search committee created for this purpose and the Board concluded that in order to attract a high quality CEO candidate with the experience and leadership skills desired, the Board would be willing to offer the CEO candidate a position that included the Chairman role. Accordingly, in connection with hiring Mr. Thompson as Chairman and CEO, the Board created the Lead Director role as an integral part of a Board leadership structure that promotes strong, independent oversight of our management and affairs. The Lead Director must be independent as determined by the Board in accordance with the NYSE Independence Rules.

Following the 2016 Annual Meeting, Mr. Neu assumed the role of the Lead Director. The Lead Director:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• presides at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the independent Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• has the authority to call meetings of the independent Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• serves as the principal liaison between the Chairman and the independent Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consults with the Chairman regarding all information sent to the Board, including the quality, quantity, appropriateness and timeliness of such information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consults with the Chairman regarding meeting agendas for the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consults with the Chairman regarding the frequency of Board meetings and meeting schedules, assuring there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recommends to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and to the Chairman selections for the membership and chairman position for each Board committee;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interviews, along with the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, all Director candidates and makes recommendations to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• is invited to attend meetings of all other committees of the Board (other than meetings of committees on which he or she is already a member); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• has authority to retain outside advisors and consultants who report directly to the Board of Directors on Board-wide issues.

The Board believes that no single leadership model is universally or permanently appropriate, but that the current leadership structure is the most effective and best serves the Company at this juncture. The Board will continue to review and consider whether the roles of the Chairman and CEO should be combined or separated in the future as part of its regular review of the Company's governance structure.

**Board of Directors' Role in Risk Oversight**

The Board is responsible for overseeing the management and operations of the Company, including overseeing its risk assessment, risk management functions and risk mitigation strategies. The Board annually reviews management's enterprise risk management process, which is designed to provide visibility to the Board on significant risks including: cybersecurity risks; strategic and operational risks; reputational, brand and legal risks; retailer health risks and environmental, governance and social risks. In conjunction with the Board's oversight of management and operations of the Company, management identifies risks directly related to the strategic plan, as well as new and emerging risks.

As discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the Board has delegated primary responsibility for reviewing and oversight of certain areas of the Company to the relevant Board committees that regularly report to the full Board. The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee primary responsibility for independent, objective oversight with respect to the Company's accounting and financial reporting functions, internal and external audit functions and systems of internal controls over financial reporting and legal, ethical and regulatory compliance as well as data privacy and cybersecurity risks. With respect to cybersecurity risks, the Company's Chief Information Officer reports directly to the Audit Committee on cybersecurity and information security risks and is available to discuss cybersecurity and information security matters with the Board at its meetings.

The Compensation Committee has primary responsibility for oversight of risk related to compensation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has primary responsibility for oversight of risk associated with the Company's leadership structure, corporate governance matters and the Company's sustainability practices and positions.

The Board believes that full and open communication between senior management and the Board is essential to effective risk oversight. Senior management attends all regularly-scheduled Board meetings where they conduct presentations on various strategic matters involving our operations and are available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management-related or any other matters. The Board oversees the strategic direction of the Company, and in doing so considers the potential rewards and risks of our business opportunities and challenges, and monitors the development and management of risks that impact our strategic goals.

**Committees of the Board**

The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which is composed entirely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. Each charter is available on our investor website at <u>http://investor.tempursealy.com</u> under the caption "Sustainability and Corporate Governance - Corporate Governance" and available in print upon request. The following table identifies the current committee members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• preparing an annual evaluation of the committee's performance and reporting to the Board on the results of this self-evaluation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reporting regularly to the Board on the committee's activities.

**Board and Committee Evaluation Process**

At least annually, the Board and each of its committees conduct a self-evaluation process to ensure that they are performing effectively and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In this self-evaluation process, the Board and the committees review, evaluate and provide feedback on one or more of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Composition of the Board and each committee, including each individual's background, experience and skills necessary to ensure the Board reaches its full potential;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Independence and suitability of each member's committee assignments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, committee charters, and the need for any amendments to the governance documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Future agenda items;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Board's interaction and access to management and Company operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Meetings and materials; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Leadership structures, overall functioning and effectiveness.

The self-assessment process includes candid, face-to-face discussions focused on several topics that are put forth by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as the most significant in ensuring that the Board and each committee are performing well. Additionally, the Company's Chief Executive Officer regularly holds candid one-on-one meetings with each Director seeking their input for improved Board performance. Based upon the results of the self-assessments and one-on-one meetings, the Board may discuss various topics in more depth during subsequent Board and committee meetings.

Due to the small size of the Company's Board, all Directors are encouraged to attend and participate in each committee meeting, and routinely do so. This enables the entire Board to be well-versed in all matters presented by the various committees, and to have full Board engagement on each topic during a committee meeting which often makes the work of the entire Board more efficient and effective.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

The members of our Compensation Committee are Richard W. Neu (Chair), John A. Heil and Meredith Siegfried Madden. None of these members is a current or former officer or employee of Tempur Sealy International or, to our knowledge, has any interlocking relationships as set forth in applicable SEC rules that require disclosure as a Compensation Committee interlock.

**Policies Governing Director Nominations** 

Each of our current directors has been nominated to stand for re-election at our 2023 annual meeting.

------

*Director Qualifications and Review of Director Nominees*

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates and recommends candidates for membership on our Board consistent with the needs and goals of the Company's business. In performing this role, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly assesses the size and composition of the Board. It conducts an annual review with the Board relating to the Board's composition and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board's membership reflects an appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and diversity. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also ensures that the Board contains at least the minimum number of independent directors required by applicable laws and regulations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for ensuring that the composition of the Board accurately reflects the needs of the Company's business and, in furtherance of this goal, periodically proposes the addition or removal of members in order to obtain the appropriate balance of members and skills.

Consistent with the Company's policies, Board members should possess certain attributes and experience that are conducive to representing the best interests of our stockholders, including independence, a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards, the ability to exercise sound business judgment, substantial business or professional experience and the ability to offer meaningful advice and guidance to the Company's management. Directors should be able to commit the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in other matters necessary to ensure that good corporate governance is practiced. No individual may stand for election to the Board if he or she would be age 75 or older at the time of the election unless the Board takes action to waive this requirement each year following the affected Director's 74<sup>th</sup> birthday.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers numerous other qualities, skills and characteristics when evaluating Director nominees, including whether the nominee has specific strengths that would augment the existing skills and experience of the Board, such as an understanding of and experience in international business, accounting, governance, finance or marketing and whether the nominee has leadership experience with public companies or other sophisticated and complex organizations. Further, consideration is given to having a diversity of background, experience, skill and perspective among the Directors, including perspectives that may result from diversity in ethnicity, race, gender, national origin or nationality, and that the Directors represent a range of differing professional positions, industry sectors, expertise and geographic representation. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for considering the tenure of existing Directors and longer-term Board composition transition issues. The Board does not have a specific policy with respect to the diversity of its Directors, and diversity is only one consideration when selecting and nominating Directors.

In addition to fulfilling the above criteria, five of the seven nominees for re-election named above are considered independent under the NYSE Independence Rules. Mr. Thompson, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, is not considered independent under the NYSE Independence Rules. Mr. Dyer, as a beneficial equity interest holder and director of Dyer Holdings Pty Ltd and various affiliated entities that are joint venture partners of the Company, is also not considered independent under the NYSE Independence Rules. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that all seven nominees are independent of the influence of any particular stockholder or group of stockholders whose interests may diverge from the interests of our stockholders as a whole.

Each nominee brings a strong and unique background and set of skills to the Board, giving the Board as a whole competence and experience in a wide variety of areas, including corporate governance and board service, executive management, investing, finance, manufacturing, consumer products, sales, marketing and international business.

Ms. Dilsaver brings significant accounting, auditing and financial skills, based on her training as an accountant and her senior positions at a number of financial services companies, including in the role of chief financial officer.

Mr. Dyer has over 40 years of experience in the mattress and bedding industry and brings entrepreneurial, strategic, international and growth-focused experience to the Board.

Ms. Gates brings a wealth of experience in auditing, accounting and financial reporting to the Board gained through her past service as an Assurance and Managing Partner of Ernst & Young LLP.

Mr. Heil has served in positions of president, chief executive officer or chief operating officer of a number of food and consumer products companies, and has significant manufacturing, marketing and managerial experience.

------

Mrs. Madden brings a wealth of international and domestic experience in sales, operations, manufacturing and finance to the Board.

Mr. Neu has extensive knowledge and experience handling complex financial and operational issues through his service as both a director and executive officer of a variety of public companies.

Mr. Thompson serves as our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and brings more than two decades of executive leadership experience, and a history of strategic focus, enhancing high-performance teams and stockholder value creation.

*Process for Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees*

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established a process for identifying potential candidates when appropriate and evaluating nominees for Director. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by stockholders in accordance with the By-Laws, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the process it uses to identify and evaluate nominees for Director is designed to produce nominees that possess the educational, professional, business and personal attributes that are best suited to further the Company's mission. If the Board has identified a need to either expand the Board with a new member possessing certain specific characteristics or to fill a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may identify nominees through the use of professional search firms. The Committee may also receive recommendations from existing Directors, executive officers, stockholders, key business associates and trade or industry affiliations. The Committee will evaluate nominations at regular or special meetings, and in evaluating nominations, will seek to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board and to address the membership criteria set forth above under "Director Qualifications and Review of Director Nominees." The Board itself is ultimately responsible for recommending candidates for election to the stockholders or for appointing individuals to fulfill a vacancy.

*Procedures for Recommendation of Director Nominees by Stockholders*

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers director candidates recommended by our stockholders in accordance with the Company's By-Laws. In evaluating candidates recommended by our stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee applies the same criteria set forth above under "Director Qualifications and Review of Director Nominees" and follows the same process set forth above under "Process for Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees."

Stockholders may also nominate director candidates pursuant to a "proxy access" provision in the Company's By-Laws. Pursuant to the proxy access provision, a stockholder or group of stockholders meeting certain eligibility requirements may nominate directors (up to the greater of two (2) or twenty percent (20%) of the number of directors then in office) to serve on the Board and have those nominees included in the Company's proxy solicitation materials. The eligibility requirements include the requirement to continuously hold an aggregate of three percent (3%) or more of the voting power of the Company's outstanding common stock for at least three (3) years prior to submitting notice of a nomination, with up to twenty (20) stockholders being able to aggregate their holdings to meet this requirement. Any stockholder recommendations of Director nominees proposed for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee should include the information required by our By-laws and should be addressed in writing to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, care of: Tempur Sealy International, Inc., 1000 Tempur Way, Lexington, Kentucky 40511, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The Company's By-Laws permit stockholders to nominate Directors for consideration at our 2024 annual stockholder meeting in accordance with certain procedures described in this Proxy Statement under the heading "Other Information - Stockholder Proposals for 2024 Proxy Statement."

------

**Policy Governing Related Party Transactions**

Our Board has adopted a written Related Party Transactions Policy providing for the review and approval or ratification by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or series of such transactions, arrangements or relationships (including indebtedness or guarantees of indebtedness), in which the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year end and involving the Company and its Directors, executive officers, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's common stock or any such party's respective immediate family members or affiliates. In reviewing a transaction, an arrangement or relationship, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether it is on terms no more favorable than to an unaffiliated third party under similar circumstances, as well as the extent of the related party's interest in the transaction, arrangement or relationship.

**Designation of, and Communication with, Tempur Sealy International's Board of Directors through its Lead Director**

As described in more detail above, the Board has designated Mr. Neu as the Lead Director. Stockholders or other interested parties wishing to communicate with our Board may contact the Lead Director by going to Tempur Sealy International's investor website at <u>http://investor.tempursealy.com</u> under the caption "Sustainability and Corporate Governance - Corporate Governance" and then "<u>Click here</u> to email the Lead Director." The Lead Director will be able to view your unedited message subject to and in accordance with our internal review policies. The Lead Director, in consultation with management, will determine whether to relay your message to other members of the Board.

**Executive Sessions**

Executive sessions, or meetings of the outside (non-management) Directors without management present, are held regularly. In 2022, the independent Directors met several times in executive session without members of management present. Executive sessions are led by the Lead Director.

**Charitable Contributions**

Tempur Sealy International has not made charitable contributions to any charitable organization for which a Director serves as an executive officer that exceeded the greater of $1.0 million or 2% of such organization's consolidated gross revenues for any single year within the preceding three years.

**Board Member Attendance at Annual Meetings**

In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, all continuing Directors are generally expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At our last Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on May 5, 2022, all the members of the Board attended.

------

**Proposal No. 1<br>Election of Directors**

**Board of Directors**

The Board has set seven directors as the number to be elected at the 2023 Annual Meeting and has nominated the individuals named below. All nominees are currently directors of Tempur Sealy International and have been previously elected by our stockholders.

Each of the nominees has consented to serve a one-year term. There are no family relationships among our executive officers and Directors.

**Vote Required to Elect Director Nominees** 

Each Director will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. In the event that the number of votes "against" a Director exceeds the number of votes "for" that Director, that Director must tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept the resignation. The Board of Directors will then consider the recommendation and make a decision to accept or reject the resignation within 90 days after the certification of the election results.

**Stock Ownership**<br>

**Director and Executive Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines**

Our Board of Directors has adopted the following minimum stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers and Directors. The principal objective of the guidelines is to enhance the linkage between the interests of stockholders and our executive officers and Directors by requiring a meaningful, minimum level of stock ownership.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Base Salary for CEO | Annual Base Fee (currently $100,000) for Non-Management Directors | Base Salary for Other Executive Officers |
| 6x | 5x | 3x |

---

The value of the stock ownership is calculated based on the average closing price of the Company's common stock on the NYSE for the most recent period from February 15 through May 14. Shares of our common stock currently owned and not pledged, including shares issuable from vested restricted stock units, vested performance restricted stock units and other vested equity awards count as stock owned for purposes of the stock ownership guidelines. The holdings of a person will also include all shares of stock owned by any family member or family trust of such person, to the extent such shares of stock are required to be included in the Section 16 filings of such person.

Upon becoming subject to the stock ownership guidelines, our executive officers and non-management directors have five years to meet his or her target ownership level. Until the target ownership level is met, executive officers and non-management directors shall retain 50% of the net, after-tax shares of Tempur Sealy International common stock received in connection with any equity-based awards granted by Tempur Sealy International. Once the target ownership level is met, such executive officers and non-management directors are free to sell their Tempur Sealy shares in accordance with the requirements of our Insider Trading and Confidentiality Policy, as applicable, provided their holdings do not fall below the target ownership level. If, after achieving the applicable target level of ownership, an executive officer or non-management director subsequently falls out of compliance with these guidelines (including as a result of a decline in our stock price), the applicable retention requirement described above will once again apply. For 2022, all of our executives and Directors maintained compliance with the minimum stock ownership guidelines.

**Stock Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Directors and Executive Officers**

The following table sets forth information as of March 13, 2023, regarding the beneficial ownership of our outstanding equity securities by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each person known to beneficially own more than 5% of Tempur Sealy International's outstanding common stock;

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

The Company's Insider Trading and Confidentiality Policy prohibits employees, executive officers and members of the Board of Directors from engaging in any form of hedging transaction or monetization transactions relating to our Company securities, including the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. In addition, with limited exceptions, our employees, executive officers and members of the Board of Directors are prohibited from holding Company securities in margin accounts and from pledging Company securities as collateral for loans. We believe that these policies further align executives' interests with those of our stockholders.

**2022 CD&A At-A-Glance**

This year's Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") reviews the objectives and elements of Tempur Sealy's executive compensation program and discusses the 2022 compensation earned by our named executive officers ("NEOs"). It also explains the significant actions the Compensation Committee took based on its ongoing commitment to consider stockholder feedback and to ensure our senior leadership team continues to drive long-term earnings growth while balancing the Company's environmental and social responsibilities. During 2022, we:

Tempur Sealy is committed to improving the sleep of more people, every night, all around the world. As a leading designer, manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of bedding products worldwide, we know how crucial a good night of sleep is to overall health and wellness. We accept our global responsibility to serve all stakeholders, our community and environment. We have and are implementing programs consistent with our responsibilities including employee safety programs, product and monetary donations, and environmental and social initiatives supporting our long-term commitments. Our focus on innovative products, consumer-preferred brands, omni-channel distribution and driving sustained long-term profitability expansion drove the Company's strong market outperformance in 2022.

The Compensation Committee believes that the adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> targets for 2022 were challenging as the high end represented a growth rate of 6% over prior year results. Additionally, targets were not lowered as a result of the significant unforeseen decline in unit volumes caused by geopolitical events and historical acceleration of inflation. The Company believes that a culture of relentless pursuit towards execution, an experienced management team, and a performance-based compensation program for its executive team are instrumental in helping the Company achieve sustainable long-term growth.

**Results of 2022 Say on Pay / Board Responsiveness to Stockholder Feedback**

In 2022, our executive compensation program received the support of over 96% of the total votes cast at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. These results indicated solid support of our stockholder outreach efforts during 2020 and 2021, which resulted in meaningful changes to our program.

The Compensation Committee believes that our program closely aligns the interests of management with our stockholders' interests. Throughout 2022, we continued our efforts as part of our commitment to ensure continued stockholder support for our compensation program. Between October 2022 and March 2023, we contacted stockholders representing approximately 67% of our outstanding common stock and met with certain of those stockholders, who collectively hold approximately 31% of our outstanding common stock. A key objective of these outreach efforts was to continue listening to our stockholders to better understand their perspectives on our executive compensation program and ESG initiatives. The Lead Director, Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations were all active participants in these discussions.

These meetings helped validate that our stockholders continue to be broadly supportive of the overall philosophy, objectives, and design of our executive compensation program. They also provided us with important perspectives on how to improve and better explain our executive compensation program as we continue to move forward. Based on these meetings and past learnings, in 2022 we retained the significant modifications to our executive compensation program that we made in 2021, as summarized below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **What We Heard** | **What We Did** |
| Stockholders prefer a mix of performance-based and time-based equity grants | LTIP awards were granted; 50% using performance-based PRSUs and 50% using time-based RSUs.  |
| Stockholders would like to see maximum payout opportunities for the long-term incentive award targeted closer to market practices | In 2021, the LTIP maximum award opportunity was lowered from 600% to 300% of target and remained at that level in 2022. |
| Stockholders were concerned about the use of special, one-time equity awards | Did not adopt a new aspirational PRSU program. |
| Stockholders seek a more diversified use of performance metrics in the incentive plans, and more clarity around the performance metrics in the incentive plans | Retained relative TSR and qualitative ESG performance metrics in the LTIP to balance the existing adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> metric. Details about the performance metrics and their rationale are provided below in "2022 Annual Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Grants."  |
| Stockholders suggested the inclusion of ESG as a performance component of compensation going forward, aligning with increased stockholder interests | Continued to include a qualitative ESG component in our LTIP to balance our global responsibilities to serve all stakeholders, our community and environment. |

---

We value the views and insights of our stockholders, and we believe that constructive and meaningful dialogue with them builds relationships that promote transparency and accountability for the benefit of all. We will continue to maintain an open dialogue with our stockholders to help ensure that the Board and management have a regular pulse on investor perspectives.

**Compensation Governance and Best Practices**

Our independent Compensation Committee of our Board structures and develops our executive compensation program by weighing various possible incentives and associated risks, assessing the competitive environment for executive talent, and understanding the views and perspectives of various constituencies, including our stockholders. As noted above, the Compensation Committee considers stockholders' views through the broad feedback mechanism of our annual say-on-pay vote on executive compensation, and also through direct conversations with investors that allow the Compensation Committee to gather additional insights. The Compensation Committee also seeks input from its independent compensation consultant.

(1) These are Non-GAAP financial measurements. Please refer to Appendix A for a discussion of these measures.

Our compensation program includes specific elements that link executive compensation with long-term stockholder interests. We strive to reflect and implement compensation design and governance best practices in our program. These practices include:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **What We Do** | **What We Don**'**t Do** |
| • Emphasize incentive-based compensation to align pay with performance | • No stock option repricing without stockholder approval |
| • Place primary emphasis on long-term incentive compensation to link executive and stockholder interests | • No uncapped incentive award opportunities |
| • Have significant stock ownership guidelines and holding requirements | • No stock hedging or stock pledging activities |
| • Maintain a Clawback Policy allowing for the recovery of excess compensation in the event of a material financial restatement resulting from fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence | • No multi-year pay guarantees within employment agreements |
| • Engage an independent compensation consultant to advise the Compensation Committee | • No single trigger acceleration of equity awards in the event of a change of control unless these awards are not assumed, continued or substituted by the surviving corporation |
| • Conduct annual risk assessment | • No single trigger or modified trigger vesting for cash severance in the event of a change of control |
| • Solicit stockholder feedback | • No excessive perquisites or benefits to our NEOs |
| • Use tally sheets and other analytical tools to assess executive compensation | • No tax gross-ups in the event of a change of control |

**2022 Business Overview**

***2022 Financial Performance and Accomplishments***

The Company's long-term strategies and investments position Tempur Sealy as a growth company with a fortified balance sheet, leading global industry position, and a capital allocation plan that is designed to drive shareholder value. As a result of these attributes, Tempur Sealy was able to outperform the broader market in 2022 while the industry experienced a significant unforeseen decline in unit volume caused by geopolitical events and historical acceleration of inflation. The Company reported 2022 net sales of $4.9 billion, which reflects the Company's execution of its global growth initiatives, offset by the transitory impact of a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. The Company also reported adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> of $892.1 million and adjusted EPS<sup>(1)</sup> of $2.60.

The following table compares 2022 to 2021 results:

The following chart sets forth the Company's stock as compared to the S&P 500:

![tpx-20230328_g5.jpg](tpx-20230328_g5.jpg)

A highly inflationary commodity environment pressured the Company's operations in 2021 and 2022, and the Company implemented multiple pricing actions to neutralize the impact of the inflation on its profitability. In 2022, financial performance was further pressured by geopolitical events, volatile foreign exchange rates and a fragile supply chain environment. The Company's competitive position, unique operating model, and experienced management team enabled it to weather these circumstances better than any other bedding company in the world, solidifying its leadership position in the global bedding industry.

The Company also remained steadfast in its commitment to its communities and the environment and delivered significant progress on its related ESG initiatives in 2022, including the achievement of its zero landfill goal for its wholly owned U.S. and European manufacturing operations, the expansion of the zero landfill initiatives to its corporate and research and development facilities by 2025, and meaningful steps towards the achievement of its long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040.

**What Guides Our Program**

***Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy***

We have a strong pay-for-performance culture. Each element of our compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain our management talent and to appropriately reward management for strong Company performance and successful execution of key business plans and strategies. We believe that our compensation philosophy aligns management incentives with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

(1) These are Non-GAAP financial measurements. Please refer to Appendix A for a discussion of these measures.

***Principal Components of Compensation***

The principal components of compensation that support our compensation philosophy and objectives include:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Pay Element** | **Purpose** | **Description** | **Link to Performance** |
| Annual Base Salary | To attract and retain qualified key leadership talent and to provide a competitive base of compensation that recognizes the executive's skills, experience and responsibilities in the position. | Fixed, non-variable cash compensation. <br>Used to calculate other compensation elements. | Base salary levels represent a relatively small portion of our executive officers' total target compensation, reflecting our goal to allocate more compensation to the performance-based elements of the total compensation package. <br>Individual base salary amounts reflect our Compensation Committee's judgment with respect to each executive officer's responsibilities, performance, and work experience and also take into consideration competitive market data. |
| Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP") Awards | To focus executives on achieving critical short-term financial and operating targets and/or strategic initiatives. | Variable annual cash incentive with payout based on Company performance over the fiscal year. | Annual incentive opportunity is targeted at a competitive level, generally near the market median for each executive. The actual incentive award payout is based on the achievement of the performance criteria. Using a Company-wide performance goal based on adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> promotes collaboration and focuses the entire Company on a goal that strongly correlates with stockholder value creation. |
| Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Awards | To align a significant portion of executive compensation to the Company's long-term operational performance, as well as share price appreciation, total stockholder return, and ESG goals. This component also supports our executive talent retention objectives. | Annual grants of PRSUs and/or RSUs. | PRSUs reward participants contingent upon the successful achievement of pre-determined performance objectives and qualitative ESG goals, using a currency (common stock) that is strongly aligned with stockholder interests. <br>RSUs support the Company's leadership retention objectives and reinforce an ownership mentality through enhanced equity stakes. |

***Compensation Mix***

As illustrated below, the majority of our CEO's and NEOs' annual total direct compensation opportunity is performance-based, at-risk, and long-term. The graphs depict the mix of total target direct compensation in 2022 from ongoing programs for our CEO and other NEOs. The chart excludes the one-time special stock option grant to our CEO.

![tpx-20230328_g6.jpg](tpx-20230328_g6.jpg)![tpx-20230328_g7.jpg](tpx-20230328_g7.jpg)

***The Decision-Making Process***

***The Role of the Compensation Committee.*** The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program and has overall responsibility for making final decisions about total compensation for all of the NEOs. As part of its annual process, the Committee works closely with senior management (as appropriate) and its independent compensation consultant. This process ensures consistency from year to year and adherence to the responsibilities listed in the Committee's Charter, which is available on our website.

***The Role of the CEO.*** The CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of executive team members. The CEO does not provide recommendations concerning his own compensation, nor is he present when his compensation is discussed by the Committee. The Committee, with input from its independent compensation consultant, discusses the elements of the CEO's compensation in an executive session and makes a recommendation to all of the non-management members of the Board for discussion and final approval. At the Committee's request, a member of our management team may attend the executive session to answer questions from the Committee.

***The Role of the Independent Consultant.*** The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage and retain an independent compensation consultant to provide independent counsel and advice. At least annually, the Committee formally conducts an evaluation as to the effectiveness of the independent compensation consultant and periodically runs a request for proposal process to ensure the independent compensation consultant is meeting its needs. For 2022, the Committee continued its engagement with Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC ("Pearl Meyer") as its independent compensation consultant. Pearl Meyer provided the following services during 2022: executive and board of directors compensation benchmarking, support in the design of annual and long-term incentive plans, review and design of one-time CEO special award, review and analysis of compensation programs from a risk perspective, review of the Company's clawback policy, and support for the Committee's stockholder outreach activities. Additionally, a representative of the independent consultant attends meetings of our Compensation Committee and communicates with our Compensation Committee chair and our Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer between meetings; however, our Compensation Committee (and the independent members of the full Board in the case of the CEO) make all decisions regarding the compensation of our executive officers.

The Compensation Committee reviewed its engagement with Pearl Meyer, based on the factors set forth in the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and determined that there are no conflicts of interest between Pearl Meyer and the Compensation Committee.

(1) These are Non-GAAP financial measurements. Please refer to Appendix A for a discussion of these measures.

------

***The Role of the Peer Group***

Our Compensation Committee examines competitive peer group and survey information, compiled by its independent compensation consultant, as one of many factors to assist in determining base salary, annual incentive compensation and stock-based long-term equity awards. In addition to market data, the Compensation Committee considers factors such as individual performance, internal equity among executives, promotion potential and retention risk in determining total compensation for our NEOs. The Compensation Committee periodically benchmarks our executive compensation against the compensation paid to executives at a peer group of publicly-traded companies of similar size and in similar industries to the Company (the "Peer Group") to obtain a general understanding of current compensation practices. The eighteen companies currently comprising the Peer Group provide a useful comparison to the Company based, among other things, on their similarity in size, revenues, market capitalization, EBITDA, scope of operations and branded consumer product focus.

The Compensation Committee periodically evaluates the appropriateness of the size and composition of the Peer Group and makes changes to its membership in response to mergers and acquisitions and changes in organizational comparability. During the summer of 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed its Peer Group for compensation decisions to be made in 2022. Based on this review and the advice of its independent compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee approved the following changes to the Peer Group to better align with the Company's growth in 2021; removed HNI Corporation and Wolverine World Wide, Inc. because these two companies no longer meet the revenue and business comparability criteria used by the Compensation Committee and replaced them with Ralph Lauren Corporation and Tapestry, Inc.

The Peer Group companies for 2022 are listed below:

**2022 Peer Group**

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Brunswick Corporation (BC) | Hasbro, Inc. (HAS) | RH (RH) |

**2022 Executive Compensation Program In Detail**

***Base Salary***

The Compensation Committee determines base salaries for the NEOs each year accounting for multiple factors, including breadth, scope and complexity of the role, internal equity, succession planning and retention objectives, market positioning and budget. The Committee also considers the analyses provided by our independent compensation consultant. Decisions are based in part on market data provided by the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant. For Messrs. Rao, Buster, Rusing and Vollet, the Compensation Committee determined that an approximate 3.0% increase in base pay was appropriate. This decision was based in part on market data provided by Pearl Meyer, the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant, which indicated that base salaries for the average NEO, excluding the CEO, were below the 25th percentile for the Peer Group. Additionally, Mr. Thompson has not had an annual base pay raise since he joined the Company in September 2015.

The table set forth below lists the base salaries for the NEOs for 2021 and 2022. The salaries for 2022 were established at the beginning of January 2022.

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officer** | **2021 Annual Salary** | **2022 Annual Salary** | **Increase (%)** |

| Steven H. Rusing | $400000 | $412000 | 3% |
| Scott J. Vollet | $450000 | $464000 | 3% |

---

***2022 Annual Incentive Plan***

Our annual incentive plan ("AIP") ensures that a significant portion of each NEO's annual compensation is at risk and dependent on overall Company performance. The plan is designed to focus the NEOs on achieving critical short-term financial and operating targets and/or strategic initiatives. The Compensation Committee is responsible for administering the AIP pursuant to the terms of our Second Amended and Restated Annual Incentive Bonus Plan for Senior Executives, which was approved by our stockholders in May 2015.

***2022 Target Bonus Opportunities.*** On average, target bonus opportunities for our NEOs were targeted at the median of a 50/50 blend of publicly filed peer company proxy data and published market survey data. The following table sets forth the targeted annual incentive levels for each NEO in 2022, shown as a percentage of his annual base salary at year-end, along with the maximum potential incentive opportunity:

***2022 Performance Goals, Metrics and Results.*** The performance goals set for AIP awards are intended to be at a reasonable level of difficulty that requires the Company and NEOs to perform at a high level in order to meet them. Payouts in any year above 100% (target level) indicate significant accomplishment with performance above expectation.

Company-wide adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> was selected as the primary performance metric for 2022 because it places a significant emphasis on growth, while continuing to provide strong accountability for returns. The Compensation Committee believes that using Company-wide adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> promotes the critical collaboration needed for the entire Company to stay focused on the same end results, as well as aligns executive and stockholder interests. This target is also consistent with the 2022 AIP for non-NEOs and was designed to foster teamwork at all levels.

The Compensation Committee believes that the adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> targets for 2022 were quite challenging, particularly because the Committee chose to not lower the targets in response to the significant unforeseen decline in unit volumes caused by geopolitical events and historical acceleration of inflation, which evolved after the original targets were set by the Committee. The payouts were interpolated percentages on adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup>; no payout if below $800 million; payout between 50% to 100% for $900 to $1,000 million, payout between 100% to 200% for $1,000 to $1,200 million, and a maximum payout of 200% for exceeding $1,200 million.

The chart below reflects the 2022 AIP performance goals and payment percentages as compared to the 2021 AIP and 2020 AIP performance goals and payment percentages. The AIP performance goals are reset each year based on then current information. The Company's AIP performance goals were increased each year and the maximum goal increased approximately 26% from 2021. In 2021, the Company delivered exceptional financial performance with an adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> of $1,136 million. In 2022, the Company continued to deliver market outperformance in a challenging macroeconomic environment, reporting adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> of $892 million. The Company's AIP performance goals were not lowered as a result of the challenging macroeconomic circumstances although adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> results were adjusted by the Compensation Committee to add back 50%, or $45 million, for the estimated impact of geopolitical events. Accordingly, the Company's 2022 adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> performance fell between the 50% to 100% payout range.

***2022 AIP Payouts.*** As mentioned above, the Compensation Committee added back $45 million to adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> to account for challenging geopolitical circumstances. As a result and based on these targets, the following payouts were made under 2022 AIP to our NEOs based upon an adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> of $937 million, i.e. 69% of target.

***2022 Annual Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Grants***

The focus of our annual and long-term incentive plans is achieving profitable growth while balancing investments in business initiatives and driving long-term stockholder value creation. For awards in 2022, we used a balanced mix of quantifiable absolute and relative financial metrics, as well as qualitative ESG metrics to measure performance and support the following key objectives:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Motivate and reward an experienced management team with performance-based equity awards and long-term incentive compensation to encourage both retention and performance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Foster a culture of relentless pursuit towards execution of delivering earnings growth and strong stockholder returns

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Drive our ESG initiatives

In response to stockholder feedback, we applied the same PRSU award structure in 2022 that we used in 2021 by using three performance metrics. This structure diversifies the LTIP metrics.

***2022 LTIP Awards***

In determining the size of each 2022 LTIP award granted, the Committee considered a variety of factors, including benchmarking data on competitive long-term incentive values, the percentage of long-term incentive value to be allocated to PRSUs and time-based RSUs, and the NEO's position within the Company. The actual number of target PRSUs and time-based RSUs granted was calculated by dividing the dollar value of the award by the closing price of the Company's stock on the equity award grant date. The table below shows the dollar value of the target PRSUs and time-based RSUs awarded for fiscal 2022 for each of the NEOs:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **NEO** | **2022 PRSUs** | **2022 RSUs** |
| Scott L. Thompson | $4000000 | $4000000 |
| Bhaskar Rao | $775000 | $775000 |
| H. Clifford Buster, III | $1250000 | $1250000 |
| Steven H. Rusing | $775000 | $775000 |
| Scott J. Vollet | $775000 | $775000 |

In addition to the foregoing PRSU and RSU awards, Mr. Thompson received a one-time non-qualified premium-priced stock option grant in connection with the extension of his employment agreement through December 31, 2026 to ensure ongoing alignment of CEO pay with shareholder interests during the employment agreement extension period. The Grant only has intrinsic value when significant and sustained shareholder value is created.

The grant was structured in the following manner:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Grant Date | July 6, 2022 |
| Grant Date Stock Price | $21.87 |
| Number of Option Shares Granted | 1200000 |
| Performance Provisions | Three tranches, with independent stock price hurdles:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.400,000 option shares with an exercise price of $25<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.400,000 option shares with an exercise price of $30<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.400,000 option shares with an exercise price of $35 |
| Vesting | Four equal annual installments (i.e., 25% on each anniversary of the grant date) |
| Term | Ten years, subject to earlier expiration following a termination of employment |

---

The Fair Market value of this option grant is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table (Options Award column) and in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table (Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards column).

***2022 PRSU Outcomes***

Based on 2022 results, the Compensation Committee determined that 46% of the target PRSUs relating to Company- wide adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> were earned, 188% of the target PRSUs relating to the Company's relative TSR percentile were earned and 300% of the target PRSUs relating to the Committee's qualitative assessment of the Company's ESG performance were earned; all subject to continued time vesting. Except for Mr. Thompson's PRSUs, these PRSUs will vest equally over three years beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. One-half of Mr. Thompson's PRSU's vested on February 17, 2023, the date the Committee determined the Company's achievement of the three performance metrics and the balance will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date. The chart below shows the performance goals set, as well as actual results.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Company-Wide Adjusted EBITDA (80%)** | **Relative TSR Percentile <br>(10%)** | **ESG Performance <br>(10%)** |
| Actual | $892 million | 61st Percentile | Compensation Committee determined exceeded expectations |
| Earned Amount | 46% of Target | 188% of Target | 300% of Target |

---

*Note:* Payout is an interpolated percentage between 25% to 300% if adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> exceeded $800 million up to $1,200 million and if the relative TSR percentile exceeded 25th percentile up to 75th percentile. For the PRSUs, adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> results were not adjusted for the estimated effect of geopolitical events.

**Other Compensation-Related Policies and Processes**

***Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines***

Our Board of Directors has adopted minimum stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers and Directors. Please refer to the section entitled "Stock Ownership - Director and Executive Ownership Guidelines" for more information.

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

The Company's Policy on Insider Trading and Confidentiality prohibits employees, executive officers and members of the Board of Directors from hedging or pledging Company securities.

(1) These are Non-GAAP financial measurements. Please refer to Appendix A for a discussion of these measures.

------

***Clawback Policy***

Our Clawback Policy provides that certain performance-based compensation is recoverable from an officer if we determine that an officer has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence that directly caused or otherwise directly contributed to the need for a material restatement of our financial results. Performance-based compensation includes all annual incentives and long-term incentives with performance features based on our financial performance, whether paid in cash or in equity, where the award or size of the award was contingent on such performance. If our Compensation Committee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any such performance-based compensation would not have been paid or would have been at a lower amount had it been based on the restated financial results, it will report its conclusions to the Board. If the Board determines action is necessary or appropriate, the Board may within 12 months of such restatement and to the extent permitted by applicable law, seek recoupment from such officer of the portion of such performance-based compensation that is greater than that which would have been awarded or earned had such compensation been calculated on the basis of the restated financial results.

In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules requiring that the stock exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange (on which our stock is listed), establish new listing rules that set minimum standards for clawback policies that must be implemented by their listed companies. Upon adoption of the rules, we will implement the newly required policies through an amendment to the policies described above or the adoption of additional compliant policies.

***Other Benefits / Perquisites***

We offer a 401(k) plan to all of our eligible U.S. employees. In accordance with the terms of the plan, we matched 100% of the first three percent of each match-eligible participating employee's salary that is deferred and 50% of the fourth and fifth percent of salary deferred. We made the matching contribution in 2022 for all match-eligible participating employees, including the match-eligible participating NEOs.

We do not offer any other U.S. defined contribution or defined benefit pension plans in which executive officers, including the NEOs, are eligible to participate. We do offer country specific pension benefits to executive officers residing in other countries.

We provide reimbursement for financial planning expenses for NEOs based in the United States of up to $10,000 per year. The program is intended to cover some, if not most, of the expense associated with having a financial advisor and to allow executives more time to focus on business and personal matters. We provide car allowances for executive officers residing in other countries.

We provide the use of corporate aircraft to certain executives in limited circumstances, as discussed in Note 3 to the Summary Compensation Table. Our NEOs also receive certain other benefits that are discussed in Note 3 to the Summary Compensation Table.

In the aggregate, we believe the perquisites and other benefits we provide are comparable in scope to those who compete with us for executive talent.

We also offer various broad-based employee benefit plans. NEOs participate in these plans on the same terms as eligible, non-executive employees, subject to any legal limits on the amounts that may apply.

(1) These are Non-GAAP financial measurements. Please refer to Appendix A for a discussion of these measures.

------

***Employment Agreements***

Each of our NEOs is a party to an employment agreement with the Company. These employment agreements provide for severance arrangements in the event of termination of employment in certain circumstances and also provide for non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality agreements. These severance arrangements are discussed in more detail below under "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control." We believe that these agreements, including the severance provisions, are necessary to allow us to be competitive in recruiting and retaining top talent for executive officer positions. However, as part of its analysis of the reasonableness of each individual element of compensation and each NEO's compensation package as a whole, the Compensation Committee periodically analyzes these arrangements for reasonableness and market competitiveness.

***Tax and Accounting Implications***

*Deductibility of Compensation*

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows for public companies a tax deduction for federal income tax purposes of remuneration in excess of $1 million (the "Deduction Limit") paid to the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and each of the three other most highly-compensated executive officers (the "Covered Executive Officers") in any taxable year, as well as any individual that was a Covered Executive Officer in any taxable year starting after 2017 regardless of whether such individual continues to be included in such group in the current year or any future year.

Prior to January 1, 2018, remuneration in excess of $1 million could in general be deducted if it qualified as "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of the Code. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") eliminated the "performance-based" exception, beginning January 1, 2018; however, the TCJA provides a transition rule with respect to remuneration that is provided pursuant to a written binding contract that was in effect on November 2, 2017 and that was not materially modified after that date. As a result, compensation paid to our Covered Executive Officers in excess of $1 million in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 will not be deductible unless it qualifies for the transition relief described above.

In designing our executive compensation program and determining the compensation of our executive officers, including the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors, including the possible tax consequences to us and our executive officers, such as the potential impact of the Section 162(m) deduction limit. To maintain flexibility to compensate our executive officers in a manner designed to promote short-term and long-term corporate goals and objectives, the Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must be deductible. The Compensation Committee believes that our stockholder interests are best served if its discretion and flexibility in structuring compensation programs to attract, motivate, and retain key executives is not restricted, even though such arrangements may result in non-deductible compensation expense. Thus, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation for the named executive officers that does not comply with an exemption from the Deduction Limit when it believes that such compensation is consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program and is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

*Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation*

We account for stock-based payments, including under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718, "Stock Compensation."

(1) These are Non-GAAP financial measurements. Please refer to Appendix A for a discussion of these measures.

**Overall Compensation Approach And Risk Incentives**

It is our belief that a majority of an NEO's total compensation should be variable "at risk" compensation, meaning it is tied to the Company's financial performance. However, because performance-based incentives play a large role in our compensation program, we strive to ensure that incentives do not result in actions that may conflict with the long-term best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Therefore, the Committee evaluated all of our plans and policies (applicable to executive officers and employees below the executive level) in August 2022 for attributes that could cause excessive risk-taking. We concluded that our programs and policies do not encourage excessive risk-taking because: (a) the salary component of our program is a fixed amount; (b) the majority of the average compensation paid to our executive officers is delivered in the form of equity ownership, which aligns the interest of our executive officers with those of our stockholders; (c) NEOs are subject to our stock ownership guidelines; and (d) the annual and long-term incentive plans are designed with risk-mitigating characteristics (for example maximum award payouts based on the attainment of Company financial objectives, which, with the exception of qualitative ESG assessment, are calculated based on the Company's audited financial results and a set of pre-established objective adjustments permitted by the Company's credit facility entered in 2019, which are then reviewed by the Company's independent public accountants when there are payouts). In addition, our programs include risk-mitigating policies in place such as insider trading and hedging prohibitions, clawbacks, and review and approval of final awards by our Compensation Committee (and the independent members of the full Board in the case of the CEO), which is composed entirely of independent directors who have discretion under our plans to approve, modify, or eliminate any award earned.

**Compensation Committee Report**

*The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or "filed" or incorporated by reference in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that Tempur Sealy International specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act.*

The Compensation Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section be included in this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)For stock and option awards, the value set forth is the aggregate grant date fair value, in accordance with FASB ASC 718. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 11 "Stock-based Compensation" to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a complete description of the valuation. Stock awards include grants of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and RSUs with performance metrics ("PRSUs"), both of which are described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. The grant date fair values of the PRSU awards represent the value at the grant date based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions set forth in the awards, which was the target value. The grant date fair value of these grants at maximum value was $15,507,307 for Mr. Thompson, $4,845,983 for Mr. Buster and $3,004,468 for each of Messrs. Rao, Rusing and Vollet. For the 2022 PRSU awards, the NEOs received 46% of the target PRSU award allocated to adjusted EBITDA, 188% of the target PRSU award allocated to Relative TSR Percentile and 300% of the target PRSU award allocated to ESG Performance. The 2021 Stock Award values are presented at the maximum value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation payouts are reported in the year they are earned although paid in the following year. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above, the 69% of the target 2022 AIP was earned by each NEO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Corporate aircraft use is governed by the Company's Corporate Aircraft Policy adopted by the Compensation Committee in connection with the Company's decision to allow members of the Board and executive team to use company-owned, chartered or leased aircraft. In 2022, the Board modified the policy to require the CEO to use the Company airplane to limit travel time and enhance personal security and health. Pursuant to SEC rules, certain uses of corporate aircraft, including commuting from an executive's personal residence to the Company's headquarters in a different city, is considered "personal" and thus must be disclosed as a perquisite. For 2022, $199,283 of Mr. Thompson's use of Company aircraft was comprised of commuting flights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.The Company does not provide for United States Federal, State or local income tax gross-ups relating to imputed income to employees except in limited circumstances. The Company does provide for such gross-ups in certain circumstances under its Corporate Aircraft Policy. The total amount of such gross-ups during 2022 was $10,888.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Beginning in April 2020 and in connection with COVID-19, Mr. Thompson donated the remainder of his 2020 net base salary to the Tempur Sealy Foundation, which generally supports charities providing critical services to children in need and their families.

(1) These columns reflect the 2022 annual award opportunities under the AIP. They reflect the amounts that would have been payable under the program, based on a Threshold, Target and Maximum attainment. The 2022 Company-wide adjusted EBITDA results exceeded the minimum threshold goal and therefore 69% of the target AIP payout was made under the 2022 AIP and is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. See "2022 Executive Compensation Program In Detail - 2022 Annual Incentive Program" for more information.

(2) These awards represent PRSUs awarded as part of our 2022 LTIP. Each of the NEOs received 50% of their 2022 target LTIP award in the form of PRSUs based on the estimated grant date fair value as of January 4, 2022. Each PRSU granted in 2022 represents a contingent right to receive shares of our common stock, with the final number of shares to be issued based on the 2022 Company-wide adjusted EBITDA achievement, Relative TSR Percentile and qualitative ESG Performance during the one-year period ending on December 31, 2022. For the 2022 PRSU awards, the NEOs received 46% of the target PRSU award based on adjusted EBITDA, 188% of the target PRSU award based on Relative TSR Percentile and 300% of the target PRSU award based upon qualitative ESG Performance. The PRSUs remain subject to time vesting. See "2022 Executive Compensation Program In Detail - 2022 Annual Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Grants" for more information.

(3) These awards represent RSUs awarded as part of our 2022 LTIP. Each of the NEOs received 50% of their 2022 target LTIP award in the form of RSUs based on the estimated grant date fair value as of January 4, 2022. These awards vest over the first four anniversaries of the grant date except that Mr. Thompson's award vests over the first two anniversaries of the grant date.

(4) In connection with the amendment and extension of Mr. Thompson's employment agreement, on July 6, 2022, the Board approved the grant of non-qualified stock options to Mr. Thompson to purchase from the Company all or any part of the total option shares (the "Option Award"). The Option Award was divided into three (3) equal tranches with each tranche containing an above market exercise price per share.

(5) This column shows the grant date fair value of RSUs and of the PRSUs, computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 11 "Stock-based Compensation" to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a complete description of the valuations. For the RSUs and the PRSUs, the grant date fair value displayed represents the value of the shares based on the closing price of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Stock") on the NYSE on the grant date.

**Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End**

The table below sets forth the outstanding stock option awards classified as exercisable and unexercisable as of December 31, 2022, for each of our NEOs. The table also sets forth unvested stock awards assuming a market value of $34.33 per share, the closing market price of our common stock on December 30, 2022.

**Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control**

Tempur Sealy International has entered into agreements and adopted plans that require us to provide compensation and/or other benefits to each NEO during employment and in the event of that executive's termination of employment under certain circumstances. Those arrangements are described below.

------

**Employment Arrangements, Termination of Employment Arrangements and Change in Control Arrangements**

The Company has entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs, which are described below. Definitions of terms commonly used in the employment agreements and compensation plans are set forth below.

*Certain Definitions*

"**Good Reason**." Mr. Thompson's employment agreement generally defines "Good Reason" as relocation of his principal workplace, his demotion from his position as Chief Executive Officer or President or a material diminution in his authority, duties or responsibilities as CEO or President, Tempur Sealy International's failure to nominate him to serve as a Director, if elected as a director and the Board fails to elect Mr. Thompson as Chairman or Tempur Sealy International's material breach of his employment agreement, subject to cure. The employment agreements for Messrs. Rao, Buster, Rusing and Vollet generally define "Good Reason" as relocation of their principal workplace, or Tempur Sealy International's material breach of their employment agreements, subject to cure.

"**For Cause**." The employment agreements for Messrs. Thompson, Rao, Buster, Rusing and Vollet generally define "For Cause" as the employee's (a) willful and continued failure to substantially perform his reasonably assigned duties with Tempur Sealy International, (b) material breach of his employment agreement which is not cured within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such breach, (c) material violation of any material written policy of Tempur Sealy International, (d) willful misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to Tempur Sealy International, (e) conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction of, or his pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony or (f) commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, or misappropriation against Tempur Sealy International, or a breach of fiduciary duty or the duty of loyalty, including, but not limited to, the offer, payment, solicitation or acceptance of any unlawful bribe or kickback with respect to Tempur Sealy International's business.

"**Change of Control**." Under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as currently in effect, "Change of Control" is generally defined as the occurrence of any of the following: (a) the consummation of a transaction involving the merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets or stock, unless securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the survivor's or acquiror's securities (or the securities of any parent thereof) are held by a person or persons who held securities in substantially the same proportions possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities immediately prior to the transaction, (b) any person or group of persons, excluding the Company and certain other related entities, directly or indirectly acquires beneficial ownership of securities possessing more than 30% of the total combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities, unless pursuant to a tender or exchange offer that the Board recommends stockholders accept or (c) over a period of no more than 24 consecutive months or less there is a change in the composition of the Company's Board such that a majority of the Board members ceases to be composed of individuals who either (i) have been Board members continuously since the beginning of that period or (ii) have been elected or nominated for election as board members during such period by at least a majority of the remaining Board members who have been Board members continuously since the beginning of that period. The Board may, within 45 days after public disclosure of the event that would otherwise constitute a change of control pursuant to clause (b) above, determine that such event will not constitute a change of control for purposes of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as currently in effect, provides that, unless otherwise specified in an award agreement, upon a change in control, if a recipient's employment is terminated other than For Cause or the recipient resigns for Good Reason (both as defined in the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan) within twelve months of the change of control, (a) all unvested stock options shall immediately vest and remain outstanding and exercisable until the one year anniversary of the termination of employment and (b) all other awards shall immediately vest and if such award is subject to a performance goal, then the target performance level shall be deemed to have been achieved. Unless otherwise specified in an award agreement, if the stock options or other awards are not assumed, converted or replaced following a change of control, then (a) all such unvested options shall immediately vest and remain outstanding and exercisable until the one year anniversary of the change of control and (b) all such other awards shall immediately vest and if such award is subject to a performance goal, then the target performance level shall be deemed to have been achieved.

"**Approved Retirement**." Our equity award agreements provide the Compensation Committee with discretion to determine whether all, part or none of the outstanding unvested equity awards should remain outstanding and continue to vest upon any "Retirement" (as defined in the equity award agreements) approved by the Committee as an "Approved Retirement."

*Termination of Employment Arrangements and Change in Control Arrangements* 

Each of the Company's NEOs is entitled to receive certain compensation and/or other benefits if his employment is terminated under certain circumstances. Receipt of any severance or benefits is generally conditioned on the NEO signing a release and waiver of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company. No NEOs are entitled to gross-ups associated with taxes owed on change of control payments or taxes due to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. By the terms of their employment agreements, our NEOs are prohibited from disclosing certain confidential information and trade secrets, soliciting any employee for two years and working with or for any competing companies during his employment and for two years thereafter.

The table below sets forth the amounts payable to each current NEO assuming the NEO's employment had terminated under various scenarios on December 31, 2022. Except as otherwise expressly indicated, the amounts set forth in the table below do not represent the actual sums an NEO would receive if his employment was terminated or there was a change of control of Tempur Sealy International. Rather, the amounts below generally represent only estimates, based upon assumptions described in the footnotes to the table, of certain payments and benefits that NEOs who were employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries on December 31, 2022 would have been entitled to receive had any of the identified events occurred on such date. Moreover, for all of the NEOs, the amounts set forth in the table necessarily are based upon the benefit plans and agreements that were in effect as of December 31, 2022. Payments that Tempur Sealy International may make in the future upon an employee's termination of employment or upon a change of control of Tempur Sealy International will be based upon benefit plans and agreements in effect at that time, and the terms of any such future plans and agreements may be materially different than the terms of our benefit plans and agreements as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of the equity awards reflects the intrinsic value of unvested stock options, RSUs and PRSUs, the vesting of which is accelerated due to the termination or change of control, assuming a closing price of our common stock on December 30, 2022 of $34.33.

(1) Excludes amounts for earned but unpaid salary and accrued, unused vacation, if applicable

(2) The NEOs' employment agreements do not provide for any payments solely due to a change in control of Tempur Sealy International. To the extent equity award agreements trigger acceleration of vesting of awards, such accelerations are noted in the appropriate column and the specific details are described in separate footnotes. To the extent a termination of employment occurs in connection with a change in control, any severance or bonus payments would only be made to the extent the termination qualified as a termination by the Company without cause or as a resignation by the employee for good reason, and such payments are described in the appropriate column in the table.

(3) For Mr. Thompson, the amount presented under Cash Severance for Termination by Company without Cause and for Employee Resignation for Good Reason includes two years of base salary (which will be reduced by any salary continuation benefit paid for under any plan maintained by the Company) and cash payments for certain benefits that may not be continued after termination of employment due to the provisions of the applicable plans.

(4) With respect to the currently employed NEOs, because the termination event is deemed to have occurred on December 31, 2022, any incentive compensation is payable as earned under the terms of the annual incentive program, so no additional amounts would be payable as a result of the deemed termination.

------

(5) The acceleration of equity awards represents the fair value of awards that would accelerate upon vesting as of the event date. Mr. Thompson's stock option agreement July 6, 2022 provides that if he is terminated due to disability, death or, in the event of a change of control, he is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason (as defined in the grant agreement and the employment agreement, as applicable) within twelve months of the change of control, his remaining unvested options immediately vest. The stock option agreement dated July 6, 2022 also provides that if Mr. Thompson is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) outside of a change of control context, then his unvested options will immediately vest.

Mr. Thompson was awarded 472,000 RSUs under his RSU agreement dated September 4, 2015. These RSUs vested over three years and are now fully vested. Except for RSUs distributed as stock and sold to pay for taxes, these RSUs have not been paid as stock to Mr. Thompson and he is entitled to receive the remaining 454,364 RSUs as shares of common stock within thirty days of his termination for any reason.

Mr. Thompson's RSU agreements dated January 4, 2019, January 3, 2020, January 4, 2021 and January 4, 2022 provide that if he is terminated due to disability, death or, in the event of a change of control, he is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) within twelve months of such change of control, then his remaining unvested RSUs immediately vest.

Mr. Thompson's PRSU agreements dated January 3, 2020, January 4, 2021 and January 4, 2022 provide that if he is terminated due to disability, death or, in the event of a change of control, he is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in the grant agreement) within twelve months of such change of control, then (a) his target PRSU awards immediately vest if such event occurs before the determination of the performance metrics or (b) his final PRSU awards immediately vest if such event occurs after the determination of the performance metrics.

(6) Mr. Thompson would be eligible to continue to participate in welfare benefit plans offered by the Company for a period of two years and Messrs. Rao, Buster, Rusing and Vollet for one year, following termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason.

(7) For Messrs. Rao, Buster, Rusing and Vollet, the amount presented under Cash Severance for Termination by Company without Cause and for Employee Resignation for Good Reason represents twelve months of base salary.

(8) The acceleration of equity awards represents the fair value of awards that would accelerate upon vesting as of the event date. The RSU agreements dated January 4, 2019, January 3, 2020, January 4, 2021 and January 4, 2022 for each of Messrs. Rao, Buster, Rusing and Vollet provide that if the participant is terminated due to disability, death or, in the event of a change of control, the participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in the grant agreement or his employment agreement, as applicable) within twelve months of such change of control, then the participant's remaining unvested RSUs immediately vest.

The PRSU agreements dated January 3, 2020, January 4, 2021 and January 4, 2022 for each of Messrs. Rao, Buster, Rusing and Vollet provide that if the participant is terminated due to disability, death or, in the event of a change of control, the participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in the grant agreement) within twelve months of such change of control, then (a) the participant's target PRSU awards immediately vest if such event occurs before the determination of the performance metrics or (b) the participant's final PRSU awards immediately vest if such event occurs after the determination of the performance metrics.

**CEO Pay Ratio**

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our CEO and the annual total compensation of our median employee for 2022 (our "CEO pay ratio"). Our CEO pay ratio information is a reasonable good faith estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

***CEO Pay Ratio:***

The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO, calculated as described above, to the annual total compensation of our median employee for 2022 was 455 to 1. To calculate the ratio, we determined a new median employee as our prior median employee identified as of October 1, 2020 was no longer eligible to be used as the median employee.

***Alternative CEO Pay Ratio:***

Mr. Thompson's 2022 annual total compensation for purposes of the above CEO pay ratio includes the special one-time non-qualified option award granted to him in connection with the extension of his employment (as discussed in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis). Excluding that special one-time option award, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee for fiscal 2022 would be 248 to 1.

------

***Methodology for Determining Our Median Employee.*** For purposes of the above CEO pay ratio disclosure, we are required to identify a median employee based on our worldwide workforce, without regard to their location, compensation arrangements, or employment status (full-time versus part-time). The median employee is determined by identifying the employee whose compensation is at the median of the compensation of our employee population (other than our CEO). Accordingly, to identify the median of the compensation of our employee population, the methodology and the material assumptions and estimates that we used were as follows:

<u>Employee Population</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total Global Population. We determined that as of October 1, 2022, our employee population consisted of approximately 11,500 individuals working for Tempur Sealy.

<u>Compensation Measure Used to Identify the Median Employee</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Given the geographical distribution of our employee population, we used a variety of pay elements to structure the compensation arrangements of our employees. Consequently, for purposes of measuring the compensation of our employees to identify the median employee, rather than using annual total compensation, we selected base salary/wages and overtime pay, plus actual annual cash incentive compensation (annual bonus) paid through October 1, 2022 as the compensation measure. We annualized the compensation of employees to cover the full calendar year, and also annualized any new hires in 2022 as if they were hired at the beginning of the fiscal year, as permitted by SEC rules, in identifying the median employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee.

***Annual Total Compensation of Median Employee.*** In order to determine the annual total compensation of the median employee, we identified and calculated the elements of that employee's compensation for 2022 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation in the amount of $43,279 for 2022.

***Annual Total Compensation of Chief Executive Officer.*** With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, in accordance with SEC rules, we included the amount reported for Mr. Thompson in the "Total" column for 2022 in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement. For purposes of the alternative CEO pay ratio disclosed above, Mr. Thompson's annual total compensation was calculated by including the amount reported for Mr. Thompson in the "Total" column for 2022 in the Summary Compensation Table *less* the aggregate grant date fair value of the special one-time option award ($8,934,336) as disclosed in the "Option Award" column of the Summary Compensation Table.

------

**Pay Versus Performance**

***Pay Versus Performance Table*.** The following table sets forth certain information required to be disclosed by the Securities Exchange Commission pursuant to Item 402(v) regarding the compensation of our CEO and the compensation of our other Named Executive Officers as compared to Company performance during the past 3-years. For a more comprehensive discussion about how our Compensation Committee determines compensation, please refer to Compensation Discussion and Analysis section under "What Guides Our Program.".

**Certain Relationships and Related Transactions**

Mr. Dyer, who was appointed as a director to the Board effective January 1, 2022, is a beneficial equity interest holder, director and/or executive of the Dyer Group. The Dyer Group has formed and operated highly successful JVs with indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The JVs are 50% owned by the Company and 50% owned by the Dyer Group. The JVs are managed by the Dyer Group and are principally engaged in Sealy-branded operations in Asia and the UK. The Dyer Group receives a management fee designed to reimburse it for costs related to managing the JVs and receives a 50% share of the JVs' profits. The Company receives a 50% share of the JVs' profits as well as ordinary course sales for any products sold to the JVs. In 2022, the Dyer Group received a total of $4.3 million in management fees and was allocated $21.1 million in profits from the JVs. In 2022, the Company recognized profits of $21.1 million in equity income associated with the JVs. The Company and Dyer Group each received a total of $22.9 million in cash dividends from the JVs in 2022.

The principal terms of the JVs are set forth in shareholders' agreements (the "Shareholders' Agreements") between the Company and the Dyer Group, which have, in material part, been in place for over 20 years. The Shareholders' Agreements contain customary joint venture provisions, including provisions with respect to governance, capital management, profit and loss sharing, and put and call rights.

As described above under "Board of Directors' Meetings, Committees of the Board and Related Matters - Policy Governing Related Party Transactions," the Board has adopted a written Related Party Transactions Policy requiring review and approval or ratification of any transaction qualifying as a related party transaction. In connection with Mr. Dyer's appointment to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determined that Mr. Dyer is not independent under the New York Stock Exchange Rules and that he is a "Related Party" under the Company's Related Party Transaction Policy with respect to the JVs. Mr. Dyer will not participate in any discussion or approval of an Interested Transaction (as defined in the policy) for which he is a Related Party.

**Proposal No. 2<br>Ratification of Independent Auditors**

We are asking stockholders to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Tempur Sealy International's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2023. Ernst & Young LLP has served as independent auditor since 2002.

The Audit Committee annually considers the independence, qualifications and performance of Ernst & Young LLP. Such consideration includes reviewing the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussing with Ernst & Young LLP their independence. The Audit Committee periodically reviews and evaluates the performance of Ernst & Young LLP's lead audit partner, oversees the required rotation of Ernst & Young LLP's lead audit partner responsible for the Company's audit and reviews and considers the selection of the lead audit partner. Rotation of the lead audit partner occurred for the 2021 audit.

In order to help ensure auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a rotation of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. In 2023, the Audit Committee also considered several factors in deciding whether to re-engage its independent registered public accounting firm including the length of time Ernst & Young LLP has served as the Company's independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP's general reputation for adherence to professional auditing standards, the breadth and complexity of the Company's business and its global scope, and the resulting demands placed on the Company's auditing firm in terms of expertise in the Company's business, the quantity and quality of Ernst & Young LLP's staff and the Company's global reach.

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to virtually attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. It is also expected that they will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Although stockholder ratification of Ernst & Young LLP is not required by law, the Board believes it is advisable to provide stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. In the event that stockholders fail to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee may reconsider the appointment, but is not required to do so. Even if the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year should it determine that such change is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

**Vote Required to Ratify the Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our Independent Auditors for 2023**

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify such appointment.

**Board of Directors' Recommendation on Proposal No. 2**

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "<u>FOR</u>" THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP TO SERVE AS TEMPUR SEALY INTERNATIONAL'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2023.**

**Fees for Independent Auditors During the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021** 

The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 were approximately as follows (amounts in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022** | **2021** |
| **Audit fees** <sup>(1)</sup> | $5006 | $4899 |
| **Audit-related fees** <sup>(2)</sup> | 550 | 444 |
| **Tax fees** <sup>(3)</sup> | 1765 | 2114 |
| **All other fees** |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** | $7321 | $7457 |

---

(1)Audit fees for 2022 and 2021 relate to professional services provided in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, the reviews of our quarterly consolidated financial statements and audit services provided in connection with other regulatory filings and the statutory audits of certain subsidiaries.

(2)Audit-related fees in 2022 and 2021 principally relate to acquisition related due diligence services.

(3)Tax fees in 2022 consist of approximately $1.6 million for domestic and international tax compliance and related activities and $0.2 million for domestic and international tax advisory services. Tax fees in 2021 consist of approximately $1.6 million for domestic and international tax compliance and related activities and $0.5 million for domestic and international tax advisory services.

**Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of the Independent Auditors**

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation, and overseeing the work of the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors.

On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is required. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and scope of services and through discussions with the independent auditors and management, advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of the independent auditors to perform such services. The Audit Committee authorizes its Chair to pre-approve all non-audit services on behalf of the Audit Committee during periods between regularly scheduled meetings, subject to ratification by the Audit Committee. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services compared to the approved amounts. These services are actively monitored (both spending level and work content) by the Audit Committee to maintain the appropriate objectivity and independence in the auditor's core work, the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The services performed by the independent auditors may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and, in limited circumstances, other services.

During each of the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Audit Committee approved all of the services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with the foregoing policies and procedures.

**Audit Committee Report**

*The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or "filed" or incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that Tempur Sealy International specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.*

The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight with respect to the Company's accounting and financial reporting functions, internal and external audit functions, and system of internal controls over financial reporting and legal, ethical and regulatory compliance. During 2022, the Audit Committee was composed of Evelyn S. Dilsaver, Cathy R. Gates and Richard W. Neu. The Board has determined that each of these persons is "independent" as defined in the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the SEC. The Board has also determined that all Audit Committee members are "audit committee financial experts" as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC. The charter of the Audit Committee is available on Tempur Sealy International's investor website at <u>http://investor.tempursealy.com</u> under the caption "Sustainability and Corporate Governance - Corporate Governance."

Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and financial reporting processes. Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent auditor, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. The Audit Committee assists in fulfilling the oversight responsibilities of the Board of Directors relating to the integrity of the Company's financial statements and financial reporting process, the integrity of the Company's systems of internal accounting and financial controls, the performance of the Company's internal audit function and independent auditors, the independent auditors' qualifications, independence and audit of the Company's financial statements, the Company's risk management policies and processes, including cybersecurity risks, the Company's financial affairs, including capital allocation framework, and legal and regulatory compliance requirements.

In connection with its responsibilities, the Audit Committee met on seven (7) occasions during 2022, either in person or via teleconference. These meetings involved representatives of management, internal auditors and the independent auditor. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management, internal auditors and the independent auditors the audited consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee has also discussed with internal auditors and the independent auditors, with and without management present, the evaluations of the Company's internal controls, the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting, the quality of the Company's accounting principles, including all critical accounting policies and practices, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and all other material written communications between the independent auditor and management. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the SEC and the PCAOB. The Audit Committee received written disclosures and a letter from the Company's independent auditors required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB describing all relationships between the independent auditor and the Company that might bear on the independent auditors' independence. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors that firm's independence and satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. In addition, the Audit Committee has received written material addressing the independent auditors' internal quality control procedures and other matters, as required by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

Based on the review and discussions with management, internal auditors and the independent auditors referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC.

**Proposal No. 3<br>Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers**

The Board is committed to excellence in governance and recognizes the interest our stockholders have in our executive compensation program. As part of that commitment and in accordance with SEC rules, our stockholders are being asked to approve an advisory resolution on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as reported in this Proxy Statement.

This proposal, commonly known as the "say-on-pay" proposal, is advisory, which means that the vote on executive compensation is not binding on the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee. Nonetheless, the Board takes this vote and the opinions of our stockholders seriously, and the Compensation Committee will evaluate the outcome of this vote in making future compensation decisions with respect to our Named Executive Officers. The vote on this resolution is intended to address the Company's overall compensation of our named executive officers and our compensation philosophy and practices, as described in this Proxy Statement.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in this proxy statement by voting in favor of the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED on an advisory basis."

In considering how to vote on this proposal, we urge you to review the relevant disclosures in this proxy statement, particularly "Executive Compensation and Related Information – Compensation Discussion and Analysis," which contains detailed information about our executive compensation program, including changes implemented over the last several years.

**Vote Required to Approve, on an Advisory Basis, the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers**

The affirmative vote of the majority of shares of common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on the proposal is required to approve Proposal No. 3.

**Board of Directors' Recommendation on Proposal No. 3**

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "<u>FOR</u>" THE ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.**

------

**Proposal No. 4<br>Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers**

As required by SEC rules, we are asking you to vote, on an advisory, non-binding basis, on how frequently we should present to you the advisory vote on executive compensation. SEC rules require the Company to submit to a stockholder vote at least once every six years whether advisory votes on executive compensation should be presented every one, two or three years.

Stockholders will specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one-year, two-years, three-years or abstain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors continues to believe that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every year is the most appropriate alternative for the Company, and the Board of Directors recommends that you vote for a one-year interval for the advisory vote on executive compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In formulating its recommendation, our Board of Directors considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation will allow our stockholders to provide us with direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement each year. Additionally, an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with our policy of providing timely, transparent information on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices. We understand that our stockholders may have different views as to what is the best approach for the Company, and we look forward to hearing from our stockholders on this proposal.

**Vote Required to Approve, on an Advisory Basis, the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers**

The proxy card provides stockholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the vote every-year, every two-years or every three-years, or abstaining) and, therefore, stockholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board. Because this advisory vote has three possible substantive responses (every year, every two-years, or every three-years), we will consider stockholders to have "approved" the frequency selected by a plurality of the votes cast. The option that receives the most votes by stockholders will be considered the preferred frequency.

**Board of Directors' Recommendation on Proposal No. 4**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE TO HOLD THE ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION <u>EVERY YEAR</u>.**

We will also reimburse banks, brokers and other nominees for their costs in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of Tempur Sealy International stock. Tempur Sealy International has retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies at an anticipated approximate cost of $15,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Other proxy solicitation expenses that Tempur Sealy International will pay include those for preparing, mailing, returning and tabulating the proxies.

**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers, Directors, and persons who own more than 5% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on the information made available to us during the year ended December 31, 2022, we believe that all required reports were timely filed, except for the inadvertent failure to timely file a Form 4 for Mr. Thompson relating to one late transaction.

**APPENDIX A**

**Non-GAAP Financial Information**

We provide information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA which are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income, earnings per share and operating income (expense) as a measure of operating performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with performance measures that better reflect our underlying operations and trends, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income, earnings per share and operating income (expense). The adjustments we make to derive the non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments to exclude items that may cause short-term fluctuations in the nearest GAAP financial measure, but which we do not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of our business.

We believe that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results from continuing operations and trends, and we use these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage our business, to evaluate our consolidated and business segment performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, to establish operational goals and to provide continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as more significant than comparable financial measures defined by GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measure, please refer to the reconciliations on the following pages.
