Performance Period. Your payout under this Performance Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) will depend on (i) the base award shown on your Award Agreement and (ii) the Company’s performance during the three-year period beginning January 1, 2024 and ending December 31, 2026 (the “Performance Period”).

Performance Objectives and Payout Multiplier. The payout under this Award is based upon the level of achievement of two performance objectives and a payout multiplier. The “Base Payout Percentage” of your Award is the aggregate of (i) 50% based upon the vesting percentage for the Company’s Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and (ii) 50% based upon the vesting percentage for the Company’s Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). The Base Payout Percentage will be adjusted by the Relative TSR Multiplier (described below) to determine your Award’s final payout percentage. The maximum payout percentage for the Award is 200%.

EBITDA. EBITDA during the Performance Period is the total earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the Company during the three-year Performance Period.

ROIC. ROIC during the Performance Period is (i) the Company’s average net operating profit after tax in the first, second and third years of the Performance Period divided by (ii) the Company’s average Invested Capital on the last day of the fiscal year immediately preceding the Performance Period and the last day of the first, second and third years of the Performance Period. “Invested Capital” is the sum of shareholder equity, long-term debt and short-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents.

Relative TSR Modifier. Your Base Payout Percentage will be adjusted by applying the Relative TSR Multiplier determined by the Company’s Relative TSR percentile during the Performance Period, according to the following schedule. The multiplier will be interpolated for results falling between the levels shown.

Vesting of Award and Form of Payout. With the exception of early vesting for circumstances described in Sections 4 and 5, this Award will vest on December 31, 2026 (the “Vesting Date”). Fifty percent (50%) of your vested Award will be paid out in cash (the “Cash Portion”), and the Company intends to pay out the remaining fifty percent (50%) in shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Portion”), although the Company reserves the right, except for distributions to persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a “Section 16 Officer”), to pay up to one hundred percent (100%) of the vested Award in cash. Your vested Award will be paid out as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Performance Period but in no event later than March 15, 2027 (the “Payout Date”). On the Payout Date, the Company will issue to you (i) one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested Performance Stock Unit comprising the Stock Portion of your Award, subject to reduction for tax withholding, and (ii) a check with a gross value equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the Performance Period (or the date of the Change of Control if Section 5 applies) times the number of vested Performance Stock Units comprising the Cash Portion of your Award, subject to reduction for tax withholding as described in Section 8.

Termination of Employment.

Except as provided in Section 4(b), Section 4(c), and Section 5, if your employment is terminated for any reason before the Vesting Date, your right to this Award will terminate immediately upon such termination of employment. Termination of employment and similar terms when used in this Award refer to a termination of employment that constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

If your termination of employment during the Performance Period is due to Retirement (as defined below), your Award will vest at the end of the Performance Period and will be prorated for the number of days during the Performance Period prior to your termination.

If your termination of employment during the Performance Period is due to death or Disability (as defined below), your Award will vest immediately at 100% of your Base Award and be payable within 60 days of such event.

The employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while you are on military, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if (i) the Company does not terminate the employment relationship or (ii) your right to re-employment is guaranteed by statute or by contract.

Change in Control. If, during the Performance Period, a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Flexible Stock Plan, the “Plan”) occurs and your employment is terminated either (i) by the Company (for reasons other than Disability or Cause, as defined below) or (ii) by you for Good Reason (as defined below), then the Company (or its successor) will issue to you 200% of your Base Award, within thirty (30) days following your termination of employment (subject to delay until the first day of the first month that is more than six months following your separation from service to the extent required in Section 16.7 of the Plan, if you are a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code).

Termination by Company for Cause. Termination for “Cause” under this Agreement shall be limited to the following:

Your conviction of any crime involving money or other property of the Company or any of its affiliates (including entering any plea bargain admitting criminal guilt), or a conviction of any other crime (whether or not involving the Company or any of its affiliates) that constitutes a felony in the jurisdiction involved; or

Your willful act or omission involving fraud, misappropriation, or dishonesty that (i) causes significant injury to the Company or (ii) results in significant personal enrichment to you at the expense of the Company; or

Your continued, repeated, willful failure to substantially perform your duties; provided, however, that no discharge shall be deemed for Cause under this subsection (a) unless you first receive written notice from the Company advising you of specific acts or omissions alleged to constitute a failure to perform your duties, and such failure continues after you have had a reasonable opportunity to correct the acts or omissions so complained of.

Termination by Employee for Good Reason. You may terminate your employment for “Good Reason” by giving notice of termination to the Company during the Performance Period following (i) any action or omission by the Company described in this Section or (ii) receipt of notice from the Company of the Company’s intention to take any such action or engage in any such omission.

A reduction by the Company in your base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

A change in your reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control that results in a material diminution within the Company of title, status, authority or responsibility; or

A material reduction in your target annual incentive opportunity as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, expressed as a percentage of base salary; or

A requirement by the Company that you be based or perform your duties anywhere other than at the location immediately prior to the Change in Control, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

A material reduction in annual target value of your long-term incentive awards as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control (with the value determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards); or

A failure by the Company to obtain the assumption agreement to perform this Agreement by any successor as contemplated by Section 13 of this Agreement; or

Any purported termination of your employment for Disability or for Cause that is not carried out pursuant to a notice of termination which satisfies the requirements of Section 5(c); and for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective.

Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by the Company of your employment shall be communicated by notice of termination to the other party. A notice of termination shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the Section so indicated.

Date of Termination. The date your employment is terminated under Section 5 of this Agreement is called the “Date of Termination”. In cases of Disability, the Date of Termination shall be 30 days after notice of termination is given (provided that you shall not have returned to the performance of your duties on a full-time basis during such 30-day period). If your employment is terminated for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date specified in the notice of termination. If your employment is terminated for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be the date set out in the notice of termination.

Transferability. The Performance Stock Units may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered until the underlying shares have been issued or settled in cash.

No Rights as Shareholder. You will not have the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Stock Portion of the Performance Stock Units until the underlying shares have been issued. You will not have the right to vote the shares or receive any dividends that may be paid on the underlying shares prior to issuance.

Withholding. You will recognize taxable income equal to the fair market value of the shares underlying the Stock Portion of the Award plus the dollar value of the Cash Portion of the Award on the Payout Date. This amount is subject to ordinary income tax and payroll tax. The Company will withhold (at the Company’s required withholding rate) any amount required to satisfy applicable tax laws (i) in cash from the Cash Portion of the payout and (ii) in shares from the Stock Portion of the payout.

Due to your leadership role in the Company, you are in a position of trust and confidence and have access to and knowledge of valuable confidential information of the Company, including business processes, techniques, plans, and strategies across the Company, trade secrets, sensitive financial and legal information, terms and arrangements with business partners, customers, and suppliers, trade secrets, and other confidential information that if known outside the Company would cause irreparable harm to the Company. In addition, you may have influence upon customer or supplier relationships, goodwill or loyalty which are valuable interests to the Company.

Repayment of Awards. If, within 36 months after an Award is paid, the Company is required to restate previously reported financial results, the Committee will require all Award recipients to repay any amounts paid in excess of the amounts that would have been paid based on the restated financial results. The Committee will issue a written Notice of Repayment documenting the corrected Award calculation and the amount and terms of repayment.

Award Not Benefit Eligible. This Award will be considered special incentive compensation and will not be included as earnings, wages, salary or compensation in any pension, retirement, welfare, life insurance or other employee benefit plan or arrangement of the Company.

Plan Controls; Committee. This Award is subject to all terms, provisions and definitions of the Plan, which is incorporated by reference. In the event of any conflict, the Plan will control over this Award. Upon request, a copy of the Plan will be furnished to you. The Plan is administered by a committee of non-employee directors or their designees (the “Committee”). The Committee’s decisions and interpretations with regard to this Award will be binding and conclusive.

Assignment. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Award in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Award. As used in this Award, “Company” means (i) Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and (ii) any successor to its business and/or assets which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Award by operation of law.
