ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES | 6 | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT | ||||
TABLE OF CONTENTS
PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS | A plurality of the votes cast by the shares of our common stock present in person (including virtually) or represented at the Annual Meeting by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors is required to elect each nominee (meaning that the three nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected, even if those votes do not constitute a majority of the votes cast). “WITHHOLD” votes with respect to one or more director nominees will result in the respective nominee receiving fewer votes, but they will be counted as present, and will not have the effect of an “AGAINST” vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 1. | ||
PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM | The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our common stock present in person (including virtually) or represented at the Annual Meeting by proxy and entitled to vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting is required to approve Proposal 2 (meaning that, of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal, a majority of them must be voted “FOR” the proposal for it to be approved). Abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote on Proposal 2 and will therefore have the effect of an “AGAINST” vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of our stockholders to select our independent registered public accounting firm. | ||
PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION | The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our common stock present in person (including virtually) or represented at the Annual Meeting by proxy and entitled to vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting is required to approve Proposal 3 (meaning that, of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal, a majority of them must be voted “FOR” the proposal for it to be approved). Abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote on Proposal 3 and will therefore have the effect of an “AGAINST” vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 3. Although the results of Proposal 3 will not be binding on the Board, the Board will consider the results of the stockholder vote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation. | ||
PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO DECLASSIFY OUR BOARD AND PHASE-IN ANNUAL DIRECTOR ELECTIONS | The affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon is required to approve Proposal 4. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of an “AGAINST” vote. | ||

• | Awards of 2024 special RSUs, granted for retention purposes; and |
• | Desire for additional detail with respect to compensation disclosures. |
• | Revenues were substantially lower than the Company’s operating plan, which was the primary driver of forecasted 2024 LIP achievement of 35%, at the time of the Human Capital Committee’s mid-cycle review; |
• | As a result, the 2024 LIP, as originally developed, was unlikely to effectively serve its goal of incentivizing the performance and retention of those above-named executive officers and other key employees; and |
• | The historical lack of PSU payouts and projections of no payouts for in-flight PSU cycles presented an additional factor in which the consideration of each executive’s realizable value may have been insufficient to retain such executives. |

• | No Change to 2026 Target Compensation Levels |
○ | The Human Capital Committee carefully considers the competitiveness of our executive pay program and makes adjustments only when competitive positioning versus the external market, in combination with internal equity and retention considerations, warrants such adjustment; and |
○ | In March 2026, the Human Capital Committee approved 2026 target compensation levels (base salary, target opportunity under the LIP, and target long-term incentive awards) that were unchanged from 2025 levels for all NEOs and Section 16 Officers, and all but one of the CEO’s direct reports. |
• | Short-Term LIP Program: |
○ | Outside of unforeseen extraordinary circumstances, the Human Capital Committee does not generally anticipate mid-cycle changes to LIP incentive measures or overall design (the mid-cycle change to program design implemented in 2024 was unique to the specific circumstances faced by the Company at that time); |
○ | The Human Capital Committee decided that the use of two six-month performance measurement periods was appropriate for 2025 financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and cash conversion cycle, to align performance goals to the Company’s external operating environment, while minimizing the impact of macroeconomic volatility and regulatory uncertainty. Such design was part of the original 2025 LIP design and approval, and was not the result of a mid-cycle change. LIP metrics other than Adjusted EBITDA and cash conversion cycle were evaluated on a 12-month basis. The Human Capital Committee will continue to evaluate the most appropriate LIP design in 2026 and beyond, with a focus on returning to 12-month financial metrics when macroeconomic and market conditions warrant; and |
○ | All of the Company’s LIP metrics reflect financial and strategic outcomes that align with the Company’s viability and success, and the vast majority of such metrics (90%) have quantitative targets required for goal achievement. |
• | Long-Term Incentive Award: |
○ | Outside of unforeseen extraordinary circumstances, the Human Capital Committee does not generally anticipate the use of special grants outside of new-hire and promotional awards for our executives; |
ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES | 33 | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT | ||||

○ | Long-term incentive award mix is set at 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs to help ensure that a substantial portion of our executives’ compensation is performance-based; and |
○ | PSU payout is impacted by a relative TSR modifier (explained in more detail under “—Long-Term Stock Incentive Awards—PSUs” on page 44 below), directly aligning executives’ compensation with stockholder outcomes. |
• | Enhanced Compensation Disclosures: |
○ | We have updated our CD&A disclosure to provide additional detail related to past special awards, as well as increase simplicity and transparency with respect to our executive compensation program. |

ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES | 40 | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT | ||||
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | Adjusted EBITDA(1). Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, is a core measure of our profitability that considers both top line revenue performance and cost management and represents a key metric that our stockholders utilize to measure our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted by (1) other (income) expense, net, (2) gain on extinguishment of debts, net (3) foreign currency (gain) loss, net, (4) preferred dividends and accretion, (5) interest expense, (6) income tax (benefit) expense, (7) depreciation expense, (8) amortization of intangibles, (9) amortization of developed technology and backlog, (10) equity-based compensation, (11) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (12) impairment of long-lived assets, (13) goodwill impairment, (14) certain legal expenses, (15) acquisition-related expenses, (16) inventory valuation charge, and (17) other costs. See Appendix A for reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA; |
• | Cash Conversion Cycle. Cash Conversion Cycle, or CCC, measures the efficiency of our capital allocation and represents the number of days it takes for us to convert sales into cash flow, and it also represents a key performance measure that our stockholders regularly analyze to assess our performance; |
• | Human Capital Committee Objective—Qualitative Assessment. As part of the Company’s 2025 annual incentive framework, the Human Capital Committee conducted a qualitative, holistic assessment of management effectiveness and overall business performance. This assessment is designed to capture critical performance achievement that may not be fully reflected in quantitative financial and operational measures, including leadership effectiveness, execution against strategic priorities, organizational health, talent management, risk management, and the sustainability of business results; and |
• | Company MBOs. For the 2025 LIP plan design, the Human Capital Committee continued to utilize Company MBOs to focus its executive officers on the Company’s strategic objectives for 2025. Three measures were chosen to track these strategic objectives: (1) total reportable incident rate (“TRIR”); (2) on-time delivery rate; and (3) strategic cost objectives related to total purchasing productivity, incentivizing efficient sourcing of certain components and materials. |

The grant date fair value of the 2025 awards is calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant (and, in the case of PSUs, using closing price on the service inception date and further determined using a Monte-Carlo model for each award on the date of grant and based on the probable outcome of the associated performance conditions). Please see Note 17 “Equity-Based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans” in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for additional details regarding assumptions underlying the value of these awards.

1. | This column reflects grant date associated with RSU awards. For PSUs, the listed date reflects the service inception date; the corresponding grant date fair value for PSUs represents the probable outcome as of the service inception date, consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the service inception date under FASB ASC 718. |
2. | Amounts in these columns represent potential payouts under our 2025 LIP, reflecting the combined opportunity between first-half, second-half, and full-year 2025 performance measures. For a threshold payout, the reported amounts reflect achievement of just one MBO goal, weighted 3.33%, at threshold (or 1.665% of target), which we consider to be the minimum amount of the 2025 LIP that could have been earned by an NEO if anything was earned under the award at all. |
3. | Amounts in these columns represent the potential number of PSUs that may be earned based on Company financial performance and RTSR performance. For a threshold payout, the reported amounts reflect achievement of just one weighted goal, weighed 50%, at threshold with further reduction for RTSR modifier results if the Company were to rank 4th among RTSR peers (or 21.25% of target), which we consider to be the minimum amount that could have been earned by an NEO if anything was earned under the award at all. We have included additional information about these awards under “—2025 Long-Term Incentive Award Grants.” |
4. | Amounts in this column represent the number of RSUs awarded to each NEO. We have included additional information about these awards under “—2025 Long-Term Incentive Award Grants.” |
5. | The amounts disclosed in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSU and PSU awards granted to each NEO, excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The grant date fair value of the awards is calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant (and, in the case of PSUs, the closing price on the service inception date and further using a Monte-Carlo model for each award on such date and based on the probable outcome of the associated performance conditions). See footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table for more information. |

2. | The amounts set forth in this column include the number of shares subject to the applicable award multiplied by $9.22, the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of 2025. |
3. | These RSU awards vest one-third per year over three years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, generally subject to the NEO’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. |
4. | These RSU awards vest as to 66 2/3% of the RSUs on the second anniversary of the grant date and as to 33 1/3% of the RSUs on third anniversary of the grant date, generally subject to the NEO’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. |
5. | Represents the number of shares subject to target PSU awards that were granted to our named executive officers in 2023 that were earned as of December 31, 2025 and eligible to vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant based on specified performance criteria over the 2023-2025 performance period. In February 2026, our Human Capital Committee completed the evaluation of the results of the 2023-2025 performance period and determined that none of the performance levels were achieved for any of the established performance metrics. As a result, none of the PSUs granted to our named executive officers in 2023 were earned or vested. |
6. | Represents 25% of shares subject to target PSU awards that were granted to our named executive officers in 2024 pursuant to our LTIP. The 2024 PSUs vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the achievement of corporate financial results and relative market performance over the 2024-2026 performance period (50% based on three-year average annual revenue growth and 50% based on three-year average cumulative adjusted EPS), and, generally, the named executive officers continued employment through the applicable vesting date. |
7. | Represents the target number of shares subject to target PSU awards that were granted to our NEOs in 2025 pursuant to our LTIP. The 2025 PSUs vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the achievement of corporate financial results and relative market performance over the 2025-2027 performance period (50% based on the three-year average of 1-year measurement of annual revenue growth and 50% based on three-year average of 1-year measurement of cumulative adjusted EPS), and, generally, the NEO’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. |
8. | This RSU award vests as to 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date, generally subject to Mr. Jenning’s continued employment through the vesting date. |

1. | For all of our currently employed NEOs, for all termination scenarios that result in continued vesting or accelerated vesting of outstanding RSUs or PSUs, the value shown in the table above is determined by multiplying the number of shares subject to continued vesting or accelerated vesting by $9.22 (our closing stock price on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of 2025); with exception to 2023 PSUs, which were originally granted to three 2025 NEOs, for which none of these PSUs were earned or vested and are therefore excluded from calculations above. With respect to a qualifying termination in connection with a CIC or outside of a CIC, the amount shown in respect of outstanding PSUs assumes target performance (100%), and for a qualifying termination outside of a CIC, is pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which the executive was employed by the Company through December 31, 2025. With respect to a termination of employment by reason of an executive’s death or disability, the amount shown in respect of outstanding PSUs is pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which the executive was employed by the Company through December 31, 2025, and assumes target performance (100%). Benefit continuation amounts are calculated based on the actual cost of the NEO’s premiums under our group health and welfare plans as of December 31, 2025. |
