Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 22, 2025, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of Lindsay Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the Management Incentive Plan for the Company’s fiscal year ending August 31, 2026 (the “2026 MIP”) under which the Company’s senior officers can earn annual cash incentive awards. With the exception of Brian Ketcham, the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer who is retiring at the end of the calendar year, each current senior officer who will be a named executive officer in the Company’s proxy statement for its fiscal 2026 annual meeting is a participant in the 2026 MIP. Sam Hinrichsen, who will commence employment with the Company as Senior Vice President on November 3, 2025 and will officially succeed Mr. Ketcham as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer upon Mr. Ketcham's retirement, will also be a participant in the 2026 MIP.

The 2026 MIP establishes target bonus amounts for each participating officer ranging from 40% to 100% of such officer’s base salary. Participants are eligible for awards of between 0% and 200% of their target bonus depending on the achievement of certain Company financial performance criteria and individual performance criteria. The Company financial performance component and individual performance component are weighted as 80% and 20% of the overall performance criteria for each participant, respectively. The Company financial performance component is based on achieving stated goals for fiscal 2026 revenue, operating margin percentage, and free cash flow, with target bonuses for these subcomponents keyed to the Company’s fiscal 2026 operating budget. The amount of bonus awarded under the individual performance component is dependent upon an officer’s personal performance as evaluated using individual or team performance objectives established by the Committee for each participating officer.
