On April 3, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Oil-Dri Corporation of America (the “Company”) approved the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Oil-Dri Corporation of America 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), in which the Company’s executive officers and other senior managers are eligible to participate. The Second Amendment, among other things, (i) amends the definition of “Eligible Employee or Director” to better align with the Company’s current salary grade structure, (ii) amends the definition of “Separation from Service” to clarify the factors that qualify as a termination of employment for an employee reducing their level of services to the Company, and (iii) adjusts the process for crediting Earnings (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) from annually to at least quarterly. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

These amended forms of restricted stock agreements better align with current Company practices, and replace the current forms of restricted stock agreement which were filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. Copies of these documents are filed as Exhibits 10.2 through 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
