On October 14, 2025, Lindsay Corporation (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors appointed Sam Hinrichsen to succeed Brian Ketcham as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective January 1, 2026. Hinrichsen will commence employment with the Company as Senior Vice President on November 3, 2025 and will officially succeed Brian Ketcham as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer upon Ketcham’s previously announced retirement at the end of the calendar year.

Hinrichsen, 46, currently serves as Global Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations at Stepan Company. Prior to his current role, Hinrichsen also held positions at Stepan as Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer from October 2024 to July 2025 and as Global Finance Director from January 2022 to October 2024. From June 2018 to January 2022, Hinrichsen served as Global Finance Director at CMC Materials Inc. Prior to joining CMC, Hinrichsen served as Stepan’s Global Senior Finance Manager, Surfactants. Prior to joining Stepan, Hinrichsen held various finance positions with Dover Corporation, Rockwell Automation, TTI Floorcare North America and ALCOA, Inc. Hinrichsen holds an advanced degree in business administration, with an emphasis on finance and accounting, from the University of Luneberg, Germany.

Hinrichsen (i) will receive an annual base salary of $450,000; (ii) is eligible to receive a target bonus equal to 65% of his base salary and a maximum bonus of up to 200% of his target bonus (to be prorated for the remainder of fiscal 2026); and (iii) will be eligible to receive annual equity or long-term incentive awards, the aggregate grant-date accounting value of which is expected to be $600,000. In addition, on his start date, Hinrichsen will receive a $100,000 cash signing bonus and a special grant of restricted stock units with a value of $150,000 (based on the Company’s closing stock price on his start date). The special grant of restricted stock units is subject to vesting at the rate of 33‑1/3% per year on November 1, 2026, 2027 and 2028.

The Company and Hinrichsen have entered into a written agreement concerning his employment as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer which provides for a term of one year and the automatic extension of that term by one day for each day of employment unless the Company notifies Hinrichsen that it does not wish to further extend the term. Accordingly, the agreement will have a remaining term of one year from the date the Company notifies Hinrichsen that it does not wish to further extend the term. In addition to the compensation discussed above, the agreement also provides that Hinrichsen will be eligible to receive annual long-term equity incentives in the discretion of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and will be eligible to participate in other insurance and benefit plans generally available to senior executives of the Company. The agreement also provides for severance compensation equal to one times annual base salary (or base salary plus target bonus if termination occurs within one year following a “change in control” (as that term is defined in the agreement)) if Hinrichsen’s employment is terminated without “cause” (as that term is defined in the agreement) or if he terminates his employment for “good reason” (as that term is defined in the agreement) within one year following a change in control.
