(e)	CEO Evaluation – Based Incentive Agreement

On June 25, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), made a performance-based incentive award to Joseph F. Puishys, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The form of Agreement used in connection with this performance-based incentive award, a copy of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 30, 2019 (the “CEO Evaluation-Based Incentive Agreement”), is incorporated herein by reference.

The CEO Evaluation-Based Incentive Agreement established a one-year, evaluation-based performance award. Under the CEO Evaluation-Based Incentive Agreement, the amount of the award earned, if any, will be based upon the average rating Mr. Puishys receives on the annual performance evaluation conducted by the Board. The amount of the award earned will then be deferred into the Company’s 2011 Deferred Compensation Plan, a copy of which is on file with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 12, 2010, as amended by the First Amendment to the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2011 Deferred Compensation Plan, a copy of which is on file with the SEC as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 1, 2014, the Second Amendment to the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2011 Deferred Compensation Plan, a copy of which is on file with the SEC as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2016, the Third Amendment to the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2011 Deferred Compensation Plan, as so amended through such third amendment, a copy of which is on file with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 10, 2017, and the Fourth Amendment to the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2011 Deferred Compensation Plan, as so amended through such fourth amendment, the 2011 Deferred Compensation Plan, a copy of which is on file with the SEC as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 3, 2018. The performance evaluation criteria for fiscal 2021 for Mr. Puishys are based upon the Architectural Framing Systems segment organizational and savings initiatives, the Architectural Glass small project initiative, the Company’s procurement savings initiative, updated strategic plan and succession planning.

The amount deferred under the 2011 Deferred Compensation Plan is forfeitable unless Mr. Puishys remains employed until April 30, 2024 (the “Evaluation-Based Retention Period”). In the event Mr. Puishys’ employment is terminated prior to the end of the Evaluation-Based Retention Period, the amount awarded pursuant to the CEO Evaluation-Based Incentive Agreement shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited. In the case of Mr. Puishys’ death or disability, Mr. Puishys, or his estate, as applicable, shall receive a pro-rata portion of the award. In the case of a Change in Control, as defined in the CEO Evaluation-Based Incentive Agreement, the Evaluation-Based Retention Period shall end on the date of the Change in Control, and the award shall be adjusted by the Committee in its sole discretion. The award shall be subject to the Company’s Clawback Policy.

Under the CEO Evaluation-Based Incentive Agreement, if the Board determines that Mr. Puishys has met or exceeded his performance evaluation criteria for fiscal 2021, Mr. Puishys will earn an award ranging from $233,750, at target, up to $467,500, at maximum. There is no threshold performance level for an award under the CEO Evaluation-Based Incentive Agreement. The Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, to reduce the award or that no award should be made.
