Key Terms

audit committee financial

A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.

compensation committee financial

A compensation committee is a group within a company's leadership responsible for setting and reviewing how much top executives and employees are paid, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits. It matters to investors because fair and effective pay decisions can influence a company's performance, leadership motivation, and overall governance, helping ensure that the company’s management is aligned with shareholders’ interests.

WINCHESTER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Trex Company, Inc.

Previously, Mr. Rose served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Worthington Industries, where he led its successful separation into two public companies: Worthington Enterprises and Worthington Steel. Having joined Worthington in December 2008, as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, he played a central role in shaping the company’s financial strategy and capital allocation, and took on expanded leadership roles in company operations and corporate strategy before being named President and CEO in 2020.

Prior to joining Worthington, Mr. Rose held partner and principal positions at several financial services firms. He currently serves on the boards of two public companies, Sterling Infrastructure, a provider of e-infrastructure, building, and transportation solutions; and Greif, Inc., a global industrial packaging company.

James Cline, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said, “The Board is pleased to welcome Andy as a director.
