Our Board recommends a vote:

Array will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies. This includes the charges and expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding solicitation material to beneficial owners of our outstanding common stock. This cost also includes support for the hosting of the virtual Annual Meeting. Array may solicit proxies by mail, personal interview, telephone or via the Internet through its officers, directors and other management employees, who will receive no additional compensation for their services.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by notifying the Secretary in writing, by returning a signed proxy with a later date, by transmitting a subsequent vote over the Internet or by telephone prior to the close of the Internet voting facility or the telephone voting facility, or by attending and voting live at the virtual meeting. If your stock is held in street name, you must contact your broker or nominee for instructions as to how to change your vote.

The presence, virtually online or by proxy, of holders of at least a majority of the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withheld votes and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares represented at the meeting held by brokers, bankers or other nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote such shares and, with respect to one or more but not all issues, such brokers or nominees do not have discretionary voting power to vote such shares), if any, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the meeting.

If there are insufficient votes to approve these proposals, your proxy may be voted by the persons named in the proxy card to adjourn the Annual Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of such proposal(s). If the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed for any purpose, at any subsequent reconvening of the meeting, your proxy will be voted in the same manner as it would have been voted at the original convening of the Annual Meeting unless you withdraw or revoke your proxy.

We do not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. Should any other business come before the meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxies in accordance with their best judgment. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as described above, they will not be able to vote your shares on any other business that comes before the Annual Meeting unless they receive instructions from you with respect to such matter.

Your proxy may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change your proxy until it is voted.

It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with brokers. Please complete and return all proxy cards or voting instruction forms to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting website. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting website during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the meeting log-in page.

As a utility-scale solar company, ESG is a part of who we are as a company. Array believes that sustainability is the essence of our business, driving us to create products that enable the transition to a low-carbon, renewable energy future. In our own facilities, we are engaged in ongoing efforts to manage and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental impacts from our operations, and we are in the process of implementing an ISO 14001 environmental management system to better track, measure and monitor those impacts.

Array recognizes that our people are our most critical resource, and we value them not only as employees but also as human beings with vital roles in their families and communities. By embracing diversity and inclusion, we are expanding the definition of success and creating a space where each of us work together to fuel opportunities for our people, our company, and our customers, suppliers and communities. Our multi-year plan aims to create meaningful and measurable progress to advance diversity, equity and inclusion across Array’s organization.

As we continue on our path to global growth, we rely on the success of our recruitment efforts to attract and retain technically-skilled people who can support our ongoing innovation and expansion. We drive high levels of performance and improvement by prioritizing training and development to ensure our team members are equipped with the knowledge, skills and tools to succeed. We motivate and develop our employees by providing them with opportunities for advancement, specifically around our investments in on-site training, development and leadership programs.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion at all levels of the organization because we believe that diversity leads to better outcomes for our business and for our customers. We have worked to reflect gender and ethnic diversity and inclusion on our Board, and diversity in gender and ethnicity is well-established within our workforce. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 29% of our employees were women and approximately 62% of our employees (who self-identified as particular a race or ethnicity) are racially or ethnically diverse.

Array is committed to safeguarding our employees through training, provision of appropriate work surroundings and application of health and safety procedures. We subscribe to the principle that all accidents are preventable through the proper implementation of these policies and programs, supported by employees reporting any unsafe work practices or safety hazards they encounter on the job. It minimizes human harm, creates better working conditions for everyone, deepens customers’ regard for our Company and increases productivity. That is why Array complies with all applicable safety and health regulations and requires our employees to do the same.

We seek to have a Board that represents diversity, equity and inclusion as to experience, gender, race and ethnicity, but we do not have a formal policy with respect to diversity. We also seek to have a Board that reflects a range of talents, ages, skills, character and expertise, particularly in the areas of leadership, operations, risk management, accounting and finance, strategic planning and the areas most important to us and our corporate mission, sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to our operations and interests.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board will consist of a majority of independent directors and in making independence determinations, the Board will observe all applicable requirements, including the applicable corporate governance listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Under Nasdaq rules, the Board has a responsibility to make an affirmative determination that those members of its Board that serve as independent directors do not have any relationships with the Company and its businesses that would impair their independence. In connection with these determinations, the Board reviews information regarding transactions, relationships, and arrangements involving the Company and its businesses and each director that it deems relevant to independence, including those required by Nasdaq rules.

Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, and including family relationships, our Board has determined that all eight of the current non-management directors of the Company (Messrs. Almirante, Alstead, Ashford, Corio, Forth, Khan, Schmid and Ms. Iyengar) qualify as “independent” under the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq, that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as “independent” under Rule 10A-3 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and that each member of the Compensation Committee qualifies as “independent” under Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act. Our Board has not established separate independence requirements beyond those of Nasdaq, the Exchange Act or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

The Board held 13 meetings during the year ended December 31, 2021. Each of the directors attended at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which he or she served during the year ended December 31, 2021 (in each case, which were held during the period for which he or she was a director and/or a member of the applicable committee and excluding any meetings in which a director was an interested party).

The non-employee directors met in executive session during each of the regularly scheduled Board meetings during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Board has adopted a policy requiring that members of the Board make every effort to attend our annual stockholder meetings. The 2021 Annual Meeting was attended by all eight of the directors then serving on the Board.

Our current Board leadership structure separates the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, although we do not have a corporate policy requiring that structure. The Board believes that this separation is appropriate for the organization at this time because it allows for a division of responsibilities and a sharing of ideas between individuals having different perspectives. Our Chief Executive Officer, who is also a member of our Board, is primarily responsible for our operations and strategic direction, while our Board Chair

is primarily focused on matters pertaining to corporate governance, including management oversight, and strategic guidance. While the Board believes that this is the most appropriate structure at this time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the Board leadership structure from time to time and may recommend alterations of this structure in the future.

The Board plays an important role in risk oversight at Array through direct decision-making authority with respect to significant matters, as well as through the oversight of management by the Board and its committees. In particular, the Board administers its risk oversight function through (1) the review and discussion of regular periodic reports by the Board and its committees on topics relating to the risks that Array faces; (2) the required approval by the Board (or a committee of the Board) of significant transactions and other decisions; (3) the direct oversight of specific areas of Array’s business by the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees; and (4) regular periodic reports from the auditors and other outside consultants regarding various areas of potential risk, including, among others, those relating to our internal control over financial reporting. The Board also relies on management to bring significant matters impacting Array to the attention of the Board.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and discussing with management and Array’s independent registered public accounting firm, Array’s system of internal controls, its critical accounting practices, and policies relating to risk assessment and management. As part of this process, the Audit Committee discusses Array’s major financial risk exposures and steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposure. In addition, the Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous submissions by employees of concerns regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing and compliance matters.

Because of the role of the Board and the Audit Committee in risk oversight, the Board believes that any leadership structure that it adopts must allow it to effectively oversee the management of the risks relating to Array’s operations. The Board acknowledges that there are different leadership structures that could allow it to effectively oversee the management of the risks relating to the Company’s operations and believes its current leadership structure enables it to effectively provide oversight with respect to such risks.

The Board has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees is described more fully below. Each committee operates pursuant to a written charter, reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter periodically and submits its charter to the Board for approval. The charters for each committee are all available on our investor relations website ir.arraytechinc.com under the “Governance Highlights” section found under the “Corporate Governance” tab.

The following table describes which directors currently serve on each of the committees.

Our Audit Committee is composed of Troy Alstead, Paulo Almirante and Gerrard Schmid, with Mr. Alstead serving as Chair of the committee. The composition of our Audit Committee currently meets the requirements for independence under current rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. Our Board has determined that Troy Alstead is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable federal securities laws and regulations and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules.

The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other matters: (1) appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm; (2) discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm its independence from us; (3) reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be reviewed by applicable auditing requirements; (4) approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm; (5) overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that we file with the SEC; (6) reviewing and monitoring our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and (7) establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls, auditing and federal securities law matters.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Audit Committee met nine times. The report of the Audit Committee is included in this proxy statement under “Audit Committee Report.”

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Gerrard Schmid, Troy Alstead and Jayanthi Iyengar, with Mr. Schmid serving as Chair of the committee. The composition of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently meets the requirements for independence under current rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other matters: (1) identifying individuals qualified to become members of our Board, consistent with criteria approved by our Board; (2) overseeing the organization of our Board to discharge the board’s duties and responsibilities properly and efficiently; (3) developing and recommending to our Board a set of corporate governance guidelines and principles; and (4) reviewing and approving related person transactions.

In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in our Board’s slate of recommended director nominees, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account each candidate’s ability, judgment and experience and the overall diversity and composition of our Board. We also value experience on other public company boards of directors and board committees.

The biography for each of the director nominees included herein indicate each nominee’s experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led our nominating and corporate governance committee and our Board to conclude each such director should continue to serve as a director of our Company. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board believe that each of the nominees has the individual attributes and characteristics required of each of our directors, and the nominees as a group possess the skill sets and specific experience desired of our Board as a whole.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met five times.

Our Compensation Committee is composed of Orlando D. Ashford and Jayanthi Iyengar, with Mr. Ashford serving as Chair of the committee. The composition of our Compensation Committee currently meets the requirements for independence under current rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. Each member of the compensation committee is also a “non-employee director,” as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and an “outside director,” as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other matters: (1) reviewing officer and executive compensation goals, policies, plans and programs; (2) reviewing and approving or recommending to our Board or

the independent directors, as applicable, the compensation of our directors, Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers; (3) reviewing and approving employment agreements and other similar arrangements between us and our officers and other key executives; and (4) appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants. In addition, the Compensation Committee may delegate any of its responsibilities, along with the authority to take action in relation to such responsibilities, to one or more subcommittees as it deems appropriate, so long as any such committee is comprised entirely of independent directors and has a written charter.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Compensation Committee met nine times.

The Compensation Committee has engaged Pay Governance, as its independent compensation consultant. Pay Governance provides analysis and recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding:

When requested, Pay Governance consultants attend meetings of the Compensation Committee, including executive sessions in which executive compensation related matters are discussed without the presence of management. Pay Governance reports to the Compensation Committee and not to management, although Pay Governance meets with management for purposes of gathering information for its analyses and recommendations.

In determining to engage Pay Governance, the Compensation Committee considered the relevant independence factors under Nasdaq rules. For the year ending December 31, 2021, aggregate fees for Pay Governance’s consulting services provided to the Compensation Committee were approximately $180,644. All of Pay Governance’s services in 2021 pertained to executive compensation consulting services to the Compensation Committee. Pay Governance did not provide any direct services to management.

None of the members of our Compensation Committee has at any time during the prior fiscal year been one of our executive officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board or compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.

We adopted, effective upon the consummation of our initial public offering (“IPO”), a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the code is available on our website at ir.arraytechinc.com. We intend to make any disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers from, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics required under Form 8-K by posting such information on our website.

Our insider trading policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees from entering into hedging transactions, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, because such transactions may permit a director, officer or employee to continue to own securities obtained through our employee benefit plans or otherwise, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the individual may no longer have the same objectives as our other stockholders.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reporting annually to the Board an evaluation of the overall performance of the Board. In addition, the written charters of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee provide that each such committee shall evaluate its performance on an annual basis using criteria that it has developed and shall report to the Board on its findings.

In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs” refers to the following executive officers:

Under rules adopted by the SEC which permit companies to delay their initial advisory say-on-pay vote on executive compensation until the third year following their initial public offering, we will hold our first say-on-pay vote at our next annual meeting of stockholders in 2023 and plan to hold such a vote on an annual basis thereafter, after taking into account feedback from our shareholders on the advisory say-on-frequency vote included in this proxy statement.

Array first became public in October 2020, and we have made and are continuing to make significant changes to our executive compensation program to reflect our transition from a private company to publicly-traded corporation. Our Board believes that holding the say-on-pay vote at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders will enable our stockholders to provide more meaningful feedback regarding the development of our compensatory programs and practices and the effectiveness of our executive compensation program and related business outcomes of our Company.

Our executive compensation program reflects our commitment to best practices in compensation governance, and alignment of pay with Company performance, all while allowing us to attract and retain highly qualified executives. Our program is designed to motivate our executives to achieve important business objectives and to reward them for creating long-term value for our stockholders by delivering superior operational and financial performance.

We believe our executive compensation program includes features that effectively align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders and does not include features that may result in misalignment. Important features of our executive compensation programs and practices are provided in the following table:

Our executive compensation program is administered by our Compensation Committee. All of the members of our Compensation Committee are independent as required by Nasdaq and are “non-employee directors” as defined by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our Compensation Committee currently consists of two members: Orlando D. Ashford (Chair) and Jayanthi Iyengar. Our Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include, among other things, the following:

Although the Compensation Committee has the responsibility to approve compensation for our NEOs, management also plays a role in the executive compensation process. Specifically, our Chief Executive Officer is involved in the design and implementation of our executive compensation program as it applies to his direct reports. He is typically present at Compensation Committee meetings, except that he is not present when the Compensation Committee deliberates or votes on his compensation arrangements in executive session. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews the individual performance of each executive officer annually and makes recommendations to our Compensation Committee regarding their compensation arrangements.

Our Compensation Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain and terminate compensation consultants, outside legal counsel and other advisors as it deems necessary to fulfill its duties and responsibilities under its charter. The Compensation Committee retained Pay Governance to serve as its independent compensation consultant for fiscal year 2021. Pay Governance provides analysis and recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding: (i) trends and emerging topics with respect to executive compensation; (ii) peer group selection for executive compensation benchmarking; (iii) compensation practices of our peer group, (iv) compensation programs for our executive officers, non-employee directors, and employees; and (v) stock utilization and related metrics. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to modify or approve Pay Governance’s compensation, determine the nature and scope of its services, evaluate its performance, terminate its engagement, and hire a replacement or additional consultant at any time. No other consulting firm made recommendations to the Compensation Committee or management on the peer group composition or on the form, amount or design of executive compensation in fiscal year 2021.

Pay Governance consultants regularly attend meetings of the Compensation Committee, including executive sessions in which executive compensation related matters are discussed without the presence of management. In 2021, Pay Governance attended all regularly-scheduled and special meetings of the Compensation Committee. Pay Governance reports to the Compensation Committee and not to management, although Pay Governance meets with management for purposes of gathering information for its analyses and recommendations. The Compensation Committee reviewed the independence of Pay Governance and concluded that it is independent and that its work for the Compensation Committee does not raise any conflicts of interest.

Our executive compensation program seeks to attract, retain and motivate a high-performance executive management team in alignment with the following principles:

Periodically, our Compensation Committee reviews the objectives and components of our executive compensation program to ensure they are appropriate and achieve their intended purpose, while allowing us to keep compensation costs manageable. To establish compensation parameters for our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, our Compensation Committee evaluated the information provided by our compensation consultant relative to a compensation peer group (discussed below), including each element of compensation separately and the target total direct compensation (the combined value of annual base salary,

target annual incentives and long-term incentive grants (at target, with respect to performance-based awards)) for each executive officer. It is our belief that while the market 50th percentile generally represents a desirable benchmark for each of the components of our compensation program at target, with respect to annual incentives and long-term incentives, an individual component as well as the combined value represented by total direct compensation may exceed the market 50th percentile, in the event of strong Company or individual performance. From the data and analysis provided by our compensation consultant, our Compensation Committee concluded that, for fiscal year 2021, overall base salaries, target annual incentives, and the value of long-term incentives for our Named Executive Officers are aligned between the market 50th percentile and market 75th percentile of our compensation peer group. Due to the performance-based structure of the target compensation opportunity provided to our Named Executive Officers, the actual value of compensation delivered to our executives may be higher or lower than target based on Company and individual performance. Our Compensation Committee determined that our process for determining executive compensation is aligned with stockholder interests with a percentage of executive pay being at risk and contingent on Company performance.

In making compensation determinations relative to our executive officers, our Compensation Committee takes into account the following important considerations:

We believe that the compensation provided to our executive officers should be closely related to the Company’s overall results as measured against goals approved by our Board each year. Our Compensation Committee evaluates each individual executive officer’s overall contribution to the Company’s ongoing and long-term performance and approves performance targets, which include operational and financial measures. The Committee also establishes incentive compensation targets for each individual executive officer, expressed as a percentage of annual base salary. Compensation targets are correlated with competitive market data and provide for differentiation in job responsibilities.

At the beginning of fiscal year 2021, our Compensation Committee considered individual performance objectives for each executive officer based upon the responsibilities assigned to each executive. These objectives included both objective factors such as the executive’s role in achieving the goals and metrics considered in the formula-based portion of the bonus discussed below, as well as subjective factors such as overall corporate results, service and operational excellence, creating a culture of problem solving and employee retention.

Our Compensation Committee considers competitive industry data in making executive pay determinations and utilizes an executive compensation benchmarking peer group of companies (“compensation peer group”) comprised of companies our Compensation Committee considers to be appropriate for benchmarking compensation. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the compensation peer group included fifteen companies:

For fiscal year 2022, the compensation peer group was reviewed and evaluated by the Compensation Committee with the input of Pay Governance. Based on an analysis by Pay Governance, the Compensation Committee added three companies to our peer group. The three additions represent peer companies that are similar in size to Array:

The Compensation Committee will review and refine the compensation peer group periodically to reflect the Company's growth, evolving business model and other relevant factors.

In order to achieve the objectives of our executive compensation program, we have developed a balanced compensation package consisting of base salary, annual incentive bonus and long-term incentive stock awards. The Compensation Committee reviews these elements in the first quarter of each year in light of Company and individual performance, recommendations from management and other relevant information, including prior compensation history and outstanding long-term compensation arrangements. From time to time, our Compensation Committee may vary the composition and structure of the compensation program, the allocation among components and the criteria associated with each component. The incorporation of cash and equity elements is intended to balance the reward associated with short-term performance with the potential for achieving longer term results, as well as to support effective retention. Our Compensation Committee reviews the components of our compensation program together to determine the appropriate mix of compensation, including the level of fixed versus variable compensation and the percentage of compensation that is performance-based. Our Compensation Committee utilized information provided by Pay Governance in analyzing each component and the mix of these components as compared to our compensation peer group. Each one of these elements of compensation serves a particular purpose, as discussed below.

For 2021, our executive compensation program consisted of three components:

In addition, each of our Named Executive Officers is provided with severance protections, including “double trigger” severance in connection with a change in control of the Company

For 2021, the target pay mix for our Chief Executive Officer and for all other Named Executive Officers was predominantly comprised of at-risk compensation, as the overwhelming majority of target pay was in the form of the annual bonus opportunity and long-term stock-based incentive compensation.

Base salaries compensate our executive officers for services rendered and are set in proportion to the job responsibilities of each individual. An executive officer’s base salary is initially determined upon hire or promotion based on the executive officer’s responsibilities, prior experience and the base salaries of similarly situated executives at companies in our compensation peer group. The salaries of our executive officers are generally reviewed following the end of each fiscal year and are eligible for adjustment in recognition of individual performance and to reflect our desired position in the competitive market. We seek to compensate for market movement of salaries in our compensation peer group, utilizing data provided by Pay Governance relative to peer group practices, general industry compensation surveys and competitive trends.

The following are the base salaries for our Named Executive Officers for the 2021 calendar year.

Other than Mr. Stacherski, who received a salary adjustment related to his transition into the role of Chief Operations Officer, and Mr. Krantz, who received market adjustment, none of our executive officers received any salary increases in 2021.

Changes for 2022. In early 2022, our Compensation Committee conducted its annual review of our executive team’s compensation, including evaluating their performance and reviewing external compensation

benchmarking information provided by Pay Governance. Based on its review, our Compensation Committee approved the following base salaries for 2022 for our Named Executive Officers:

We maintain a leadership incentive plan (the “LIP”) under which our Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus based on financial, operational, and individual achievements during the prior fiscal year intended to support the Company’s approved goals and metrics, encouraging further individual contributions to stockholder value.

The graphic below illustrates how the bonus is calculated in the fiscal year 2021 LIP design, including the weighting of the corporate metrics.

Annual incentive bonuses under the LIP may range from 50% of target (at Threshold performance) to 100% of target (at Target performance) to 200% of target (at Stretch performance). Performance below Threshold results in a payout of 0%. In all cases, payouts are subject to a maximum of 200% of target.

The fiscal year 2021 target annual incentive opportunities were determined by our Compensation Committee as a percentage of annual base salary in the range of competitive target bonus amounts of companies in our compensation peer group. Target annual incentive opportunities are subject to review based on market movement as well as to pro-rata adjustment due to promotions occurring during the fiscal year or other relevant changes in job responsibilities. The following were the target annual incentive opportunities represented as a percentage of annual base salaries for each of the Named Executive Officers:

Our Compensation Committee structured the annual incentive bonus to be formulaic and directly linked to the achievement of Company-wide goals and metrics and individual objectives approved by our Board. The final determinations of the annual incentive bonus are based upon the extent to which results for the fiscal year met, failed to meet, or exceeded our established goals and metrics.

In determining the goals and metrics for fiscal year 2021, the Committee based the metrics on the Company’s budget as approved by our Board. Each metric was associated with a threshold, target and a stretch level of possible

achievement. Each performance measure also was assigned a weighting factor to reflect the Company’s goals and priorities as interpreted by our Compensation Committee. In consultation with Pay Governance, our Compensation Committee established for each metric threshold, target, and stretch level of objectives and related levels of payment opportunities. These levels of achievement represent the minimum and maximum payout opportunity for each metric. In the event the threshold performance level is not met for a metric, none of the bonus is earned for that metric. Similarly, achieving the stretch performance level earns the maximum percentage for a metric. In the event that a metric was achieved at a level between defined achievement levels, our Compensation Committee makes a linear interpolation to determine the bonus earned for that metric.

EBITDA. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, is a core measure of our profitability that takes into account both top line revenue performance and cost management and represents a key performance metric that our stockholders utilize to measure our performance.

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 also represents a key performance metric that our stockholders regularly analyze to assess our performance.

For fiscal year 2021, our Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s overall results against approved corporate performance targets as follows:

In January 2022, our Compensation Committee completed the evaluation of our results and the weighting of metrics discussed above to ensure that the corporate performance portion of the incentive bonus determinations was appropriate and commensurate with actual performance as it related to such metric. The corporate performance portion of the incentive bonus determinations for fiscal year 2021 for Named Executive Officers was as follows:

For each of the executive officers, our Compensation Committee determined the individual performance portion of the annual incentive bonus by assessing the officer’s performance and contributions both against individual goals and objectives established for each officer at the beginning of the year and against other relevant factors not covered directly by the individual goals and objectives.

For fiscal year 2021, the Committee considered the Company’s fiscal year 2021 financial results as compared to fiscal year 2020 financial results and the strategic steps taken by management to position the Company for success, to enhance stockholder value and to ensure continued improvement in financial performance. While our executive management team did attain significant individual performance achievements in 2021, notably securing long-term supply agreements with key steel suppliers, closing on the Blackstone PIPE investment to provide growth capital from a leading alternative investment firm, redesigning our sales contracting process to protect margin in the current inflationary and supply chain-constrained environment, and announcing

the STI Norland acquisition to facilitate international growth, our Chief Executive Officer recommended, and our Compensation Committee concurred, that no funding be approved for the 10% allocation of the LIP for our Named Executive Officers in light of the challenging financial year.

As the Company did not meet threshold-level performance for the financial components of the 2021 LIP, and as our Compensation Committee elected not to fund payouts under the individual performance component of the plan in light of the challenging operating environment in 2021, no payouts were earned under the 2021 LIP. Mr. Stacherski did receive a $75,000 cash bonus for 2021 per the terms of his offer agreement. His offer agreement was negotiated in connection to his commencement of employment in July 2021 prior to his appointment to a senior executive officer in October 2021. None of our executive officers, including none of our Named Executive Officers, have any current agreements in place with future guaranteed bonuses.

Our Compensation Committee considers stock ownership by management through stock-based compensation arrangements beneficial in aligning management’s and stockholders’ interests. Under the provisions of our 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), our Compensation Committee has the ability to grant stock and stock-based awards, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to our employees, including our Named Executive Officers, non-employee directors and consultants.

Our Compensation Committee grants long-term incentive awards to our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, in line with competitive market norms based upon each officer’s performance in a fiscal year. These awards are primarily designed to tie a substantial portion of each executive officer’s compensation to longer-term future performance of the Company and to support the compensation philosophy adopted by our Compensation Committee. The grant determinations are made by our Compensation Committee using, as a reference, the relevant competitive market information and recommendations provided to our Compensation Committee by Pay Governance, in order to provide an appropriate level of target total direct compensation compared to compensation of executive officers in our compensation peer group. Our Compensation Committee sets the individual grant values to reflect (a) the level of responsibility and individual contribution of each executive officer and their potential impact on the long-term success of the business, (b) a desire to maintain market-competitive compensation package for each officer, and (c) talent retention considerations, as appropriate.

To determine long-term incentive awards granted in a year, our Compensation Committee first approves a target aggregate grant date fair value to be awarded to each Named Executive Officer. The target aggregate grant date fair value is then allocated among the types of awards granted for such year.

In fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee approved equity awards to executive officers to incentivize the new leadership team following the IPO, comprised of PSUs (60%) (based on target level of performance) and RSUs (40%).

The Compensation Committee approved long-term incentive awards for fiscal year 2021 to our Named Executive Officers as follows:

The RSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers in 2021 vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, generally subject to the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

In 2021, Messrs. Hottinger and Stacherski also received new hire RSU grants to induce them to join the Company and to, in part, mitigate the economic impact with respect to the forfeiture of outstanding awards when they terminated their prior employment. Their new hire RSUs also vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, generally subject to their continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

All outstanding and unvested restricted stock units will vest upon a qualifying termination in connection with change in control (as defined in the 2020 Plan) or in the event that the officer’s employment is terminated due to his death or disability.

The PSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers in 2021 vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the achievement of corporate financial results and relative market performance over the 2021-2023 performance period, and generally subject to the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment through the vesting date. Specifically, the PSUs granted in 2021 vest 50% based on the achievement of 3-year average annual revenue growth and 50% based on the achievement of 3-year cumulative adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) as follows:

At the end of the performance period, after calculating the degree to which the above performance requirements were achieved, we then will evaluate our total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index over the 2021-2023 performance period (“RTSR Modifier”). If our TSR is at or above the 75^th percentile of the Index, the RTSR Modifier will be 125%, and if our TSR is at or below the 25^th percentile of the Index, the RTSR Modifier will be 75%. The RTSR Modifier for TSR performance between the 25^th and 75^th percentiles will be determined by linear interpolation. In all cases, payouts are capped at 200% of target.

The graphic below illustrates how the number of PSUs earned will be calculated.

We provide certain severance benefits to our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, in order to attract and retain key talent, and minimize turnover of our executive team. We also believe the provision of these benefits serves the interests of our stockholders by encouraging certain valued employees to remain employed with the Company in the event of a change of control. Our Named Executive Officers’ offer letters have historically provided severance benefits upon a termination by us for any reason other than for “cause” or upon a resignation by the executive for “good reason,” each as defined in the applicable offer letter, subject to the execution and delivery of a fully effective release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants.

The letters also provide “double trigger” change of control benefits for our executive officers, designed to be competitive to those provided by companies in our compensation peer group. On December 28, 2021, our Compensation Committee approved an amendment to select severance terms to better align our severance benefits with the prevailing market, determined based on peer group data.

For more information regarding our severance and change of control arrangements, including the changes approved by the Compensation Committee in 2021, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control. Our Compensation Committee believes the provision of such change of control benefits is competitive and appropriate in light of our compensation peer group.

The Compensation Committee takes into account severance benefits, including post-change in control severance benefits, payable to Mr. Fusaro and the other Named Executive Officers, in reviewing overall compensation packages of our Named Executive Officers.

On April 3, 2022, the Company and Kevin Hostetler entered executed an Employment Offer Letter (the “Offer Letter”). Under the terms of the Offer Letter, Mr. Hostetler will receive (i) an initial annual base salary of $850,000, (ii) an annual incentive bonus at a target level of 125% of his base salary, based on the achievement of the Company’s corporate objectives and Mr. Hostetler’s individual objectives, in each case, as established by the Board or the Compensation Committee, (iii) a one-time sign-on bonus of $1,000,000, payable on Mr. Hostetler’s first regularly scheduled payroll, subject to applicable withholdings and certain time-based repayment requirements in the event Mr. Hostetler’s employment is terminated for cause or Mr. Hostetler resigns without good reason (each as defined below), and (iv) a one-time relocation bonus of $200,000 to assist with certain relocation expenses, payable with Mr. Hostetler’s first regularly scheduled payroll, subject to applicable withholdings and subject to certain time-based repayment requirements in the event Mr. Hostetler’s employment is terminated for cause or Mr. Hostetler resigns without good reason.

Mr. Hostetler will also be eligible to receive an annual grant under the LTIP, in the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. Subject to applicable approvals, Mr. Hostetler will receive an initial equity grant under the LTIP upon the commencement of his employment, with an approximate value of $3,200,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date preceding the announcement of Mr. Hostetler’s appointment (the “Initial Equity Grant”). Sixty percent of the Initial Equity Grant will be in the form of PSUs subject to vesting over a three-year performance period contingent upon the achievement of certain Company performance criteria determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee and set forth in the LTIP, and forty percent of the Initial Equity Grant will be in the form of RSUs vesting in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case subject to Mr. Hostetler’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

Under the Offer Letter, Mr. Hostetler would be entitled to severance upon the termination of his employment in certain circumstances pursuant to the Company’s written executive severance and change in control plan (the “Severance Policy”). Pursuant to our Severance Policy, upon a termination of employment without cause, Mr. Hostetler’s resignation with good reason or a termination by mutual agreement that qualifies as an involuntary termination, and subject to Mr. Hostetler’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and Mr. Hostetler’s compliance with his existing restrictive covenants, Mr. Hostetler is entitled to (i) 150% of the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus opportunity and (ii) subject to his timely election of COBRA coverage, payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for 18 months (or, if earlier, until he becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health plan). In addition, If Mr. Hostetler is terminated in connection with or within 12 months following a

change in control of the Company, he is instead entitled to (i) 200% of the sum of his annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity and (ii) subject to his timely election of COBRA coverage, payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for 24 months (or, if earlier, until he becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health plan). Additionally, upon Mr. Hostetler’s qualifying termination, whether or not in connection with a change in control of the Company, all outstanding RSUs would continue to vest over the severance period as if Mr. Hostetler had remained employed through each subsequent vesting date and all outstanding PSUs for which the performance period has not been completed will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the performance metrics through the applicable performance period, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which Mr. Hostetler was employed by the Company.

Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans on the same terms as other employees. The Company’s 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) is a safe harbor qualified defined contribution plan which allows employees, including Named Executive Officers, to save for retirement through a tax-advantaged combination of employee and Company contributions. Under the terms of the Retirement Plan, the Company matches up to 100% of the first 3% of eligible compensation contributed by the employee plus 50% of eligible compensation contributed between 3% and 5%. The Company may also make a discretionary profit-sharing contribution to the Retirement Plan, but has not made any such contributions to date.

Our Stock Ownership Guidelines are designed to assist in aligning the financial interests of the directors and senior employees with our stockholders and to promote sound corporate governance practices. Our Stock Ownership Guidelines apply to non-executive directors who receive compensation for their service on the Board and executive officers. Common stock underlying RSUs and deferred shares or share units held by directors and executive officers is considered owned for purposes of determining stock ownership levels under the Stock Ownership Guidelines. Common stock underlying unexercised stock options and unearned PSUs held by directors and executive officers is not considered owned for purposes of determining stock ownership levels under the Stock Ownership Guidelines.

Executive officers and directors subject to this policy are required to achieve a minimum ownership requirement by five years from the later of (i) June 8, 2021 (or, in the case of non-executive directors, as of the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders), or (ii) the date the individual becomes a director or executive officer, as applicable, is promoted to a position that causes the covered individual to be subject to a greater ownership requirement or is otherwise designated as a covered individual. Upon achieving his or her respective minimum ownership requirement, each covered individual must continue to maintain the minimum ownership requirement at all times during a given calendar year and for so long as the covered individual remains subject to this policy.

Each director and covered employee must maintain ownership of shares of common stock with a fair market price equal to a multiple of the director’s base annual retainer or the covered employee’s annual base salary, as follows:

The failure by a director or covered employee to meet or to demonstrate sustained progress toward the achievement of the applicable minimum ownership requirement will result in the imposition of a restriction on sales of common stock and a requirement that they retain 50% of the net number of shares acquired upon vesting or settlement of equity awards or exercise of stock options until compliance with the ownership guideline is attained.

Our Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board employ a risk management process conducted periodically to ensure that potential risks that might arise from any of our executive compensation practices and policies do not result in potential adverse impact on the Company, financially or otherwise. Our Compensation

Committee, with the assistance of Pay Governance, has reviewed the policies and guidelines underlying our executive compensation determinations and concluded that the following factors promote the creation of long-term value and thereby discourage behavior that leads to excessive or unnecessary risk:

Based on our review, we have determined our compensation programs and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, we maintain a Clawback Policy that provides for the forfeiture or recovery of stock or amounts paid or payable to an executive officer in the event the Company or the Committee determines the executive officer has taken unlawful action detrimental to the Company or violated Company policy.

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with Company management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement. Based on that review and discussion, our Compensation Committee has recommended to our Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

April 8, 2022

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing information about the relationship of the total annual compensation of Jim Fusaro, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), to the total annual compensation of our median employee. The Company believes that the pay ratio included below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

As of December 31, 2021, our last completed fiscal year:

Based on this information, for 2021, the ratio of the total annual compensation for Mr. Fusaro, our CEO, to the total annual compensation of our median employee was 107 to 1.

To determine this ratio, we first prepared a list of all our full-time, part-time and temporary employees as of December 31, 2021, the last day of our fiscal year. To identify the median employee from our employee population, we reviewed the amount of regular wages and overtime pay for of all of our employees for 2021.

Once we identified the median employee, we then determined the total annual compensation for 2021 of that employee using the same rules that apply to reporting compensation for our Named Executive Officers in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table.

The pay ratio disclosure rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies in calculating their own pay ratios.

The following table summarizes the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our Named Executive Officers for the 2021, 2020, and 2019 fiscal years:

The following table presents information regarding grants of equity-based awards made to our Named Executive Officers during the 2021 fiscal year:

On December 28, 2021, our Compensation Committee approved an amended Severance Policy that governs severance payable to our executive officers, including each of our Named Executive Officers, under various termination scenarios. Our Severance Policy provides for severance payments and benefits in the event of a termination by the Company without Cause, a termination by mutual agreement of the executive and the Company that is deemed by the Compensation Committee to qualify as an involuntary termination or a resignation by the executive for Good Reason (a “qualifying termination”), both in connection with and outside the context of a change in control (“CIC”). The severance entitlements under the Severance Policy in connection with a CIC are subject to a double trigger that requires a termination of employment in order for severance to become payable.

In the event of a qualifying termination other than in connection with or within 12 months following a CIC, the Severance Policy provides the following cash severance:

Additionally, subject to his or her timely election of COBRA coverage, the executive would be entitled to payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for a specified severance period (18 months for our Chief Executive Officer and 12 months for all other executives) or until the executive becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health plan. Upon the executive’s qualifying termination, all outstanding RSUs would continue to vest over the specified severance period as if the executive had remained employed through each subsequent vesting date and all outstanding PSUs for which the performance period has not been completed will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the performance metrics through the applicable performance period, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which the executive was employed by the Company.

In the event of a qualifying termination that occurs upon or within 12 months after a CIC, the Severance Policy provides cash severance to each executive of 200% of the sum of the executive’s (i) annual base salary and (ii) target bonus opportunity.

Additionally, subject to his or her timely election of COBRA coverage, the executive would be entitled to payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for a specified severance period (24 months for each executive) or until the executive becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health

plan. Upon the executive’s qualifying termination, all outstanding RSUs would continue to vest over the specified severance period as if the executive had remained employed through each subsequent vesting date and all outstanding PSUs for which the performance period has not been completed will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the performance metrics through the applicable performance period, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which the executive was employed by the Company.

For purposes of our Severance Policy, the following definitions apply:

“Change in Control” is defined as (i) an independent third party becoming the beneficial owner of securities of the Company representing at least 50% of the voting power of the Company’s securities, (ii) a merger, reorganization, or consolidation of the Company, unless the voting securities of the Company continue to represent more than 50% of the voting power of the Company or surviving entity, (iii) a change in the membership of our Board over a period of two consecutive years, in which incumbent directors and new directors whose election by the Board or nomination for election by our stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of our directors, cease to constitute a majority of our Board membership and (iv) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

“Cause” is defined as: (i) the commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude or the commission of any other act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates or any of their customers, vendors or suppliers, (ii) reporting to work under the influence of alcohol or under the influence or in the possession of illegal drugs, (iii) substantial and repeated failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the Board or any other person to whom the executive reports after notice of such failure and, if curable, an opportunity to permanently cure such failure within 30 days of such notice, (iv) breach of fiduciary duty, gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates, (v) a willful and material failure to observe policies or standards of the Company regarding employment practices (including nondiscrimination and sexual harassment policies) as prescribed thereby from time to time after notice of such failure and, if curable, an opportunity to permanently cure such failure within 30 days of such notice or (vi) any breach by the executive of any non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire or confidentiality covenant between the executive and the Company or any of its affiliates or any material breach by the executive of any provision of the Severance Policy, or any agreement to which the executive and the Company or any of its affiliates are parties after notice of such failure and, if curable, an opportunity to permanently cure such failure within 30 days of such notice.

“Good Reason” is defined as (i) a material reduction in the executive’s annual base salary without the executive’s consent, (ii) a relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment, without his or her consent, to a location more than 50 miles from his or her then-current principal place of employment, or (iii) an adverse change in the executive’s position or title without his or her consent; provided, that, in any case, (x) written notice of the executive’s resignation for Good Reason must be delivered to the Company within 30 days after the occurrence of any such event in order for his or her resignation for Good Reason to be effective hereunder, (y) the Company shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice during which the Company may remedy the occurrence giving rise to the claim for Good Reason termination (if such occurrence is capable of being remedied), and, if the Company cures such occurrence within such 30-day period, there shall be no Good Reason, and (z) the executive must actually resign within 90 days following the event constituting Good Reason.

Separately, pursuant to the terms of the equity award agreements between us and the Named Executive Officers,, in the event of a termination of the executive’s employment by reason of death or disability, all outstanding RSUs would immediately vest in full and all outstanding PSUs would be deemed to be earned at target and pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which the executive was employed by the Company.

On March 31, 2022, Mr. Fusaro and the Company entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”), which confirms the date of Mr. Fusaro’s separation (the “Separation Date”), the terms of Mr. Fusaro’s separation and the amounts due pursuant to our Severance Policy. Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, subject to Mr. Fusaro’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and Mr. Fusaro’s compliance with his existing restrictive covenants, the Company will pay Mr. Fusaro the following, pursuant to the terms of our Severance Policy: (i) an amount equal to $1,950,000, which

represents 1.5 times the sum of Mr. Fusaro’s annual base salary plus his target annual bonus, for a severance period of 18 months following the Separation Date and (ii) subject to his timely election of COBRA coverage, payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for 18 months (or, if earlier, until he becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health plan).

In addition, (i) the unvested portion of any outstanding time-based RSUs on the Separation Date (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting provide under the terms of the award agreements evidencing such awards) will continue to vest over the severance period as if Mr. Fusaro had remained employed through each subsequent vesting date, and (ii) any outstanding PSUs for which the performance period has not been completed will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the performance metrics through the applicable performance period, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which Mr. Fusaro was employed by the Company through the Separation Date.

The information below describes and quantifies certain compensation that would become payable under existing plans and arrangements if the executive’s employment had terminated on December 31, 2021, given the executive’s compensation as of such date and, if applicable, based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2021. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any benefits provided upon the events discussed below, any actual amounts paid or distributed may be different than the estimates presented in the table. Factors that could affect these amounts include the timing of any such event and our stock price.

During 2021, Mr. Ashford (Chair), Mr. Forth, and Ms. Iyengar served on our Compensation Committee. No member of our Compensation Committee is or was an officer or employee of the Company, except for Brad Forth, who previously served as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Forth left that role in 2018 and ceased serving on our Compensation Committee in December 2021. During 2021, no executive officer of the Company served as (i) a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Compensation Committee, (ii) a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Compensation Committee, or (iii) a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as our director.

The table below provides information relating to our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2021, all of which have been approved by our stockholders:

The following table summarizes the compensation awarded or paid to the members of our Board for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Mr. Fusaro, as an employee-director, received no additional compensation for service as a director, and, consequently, is not included in this table. The compensation received by Mr. Fusaro as an employee during 2021 is included in the “Summary Compensation Table” above.

During 2021, Pay Governance evaluated our director compensation relative to our peer group. Based on this review, we established a 2021 director compensation program for non-employee directors comprised of (i) an annual cash retainer for service on the Board and as committee chairperson and (ii) an annual stock retainer of $140,000 in restricted stock units payable at the time of our annual stockholder meeting. The cash retainers for 2021, which were paid in four equal quarterly installments and prorated for any partial year of service on our board of directors, were as follows:

Our directors are reimbursed for travel, food, lodging and other expenses directly related to their activities as directors. Our directors are also entitled to the protection provided by the indemnification provisions in our bylaws that became effective upon the consummation of our IPO. Our Board may revise the compensation arrangements for our directors from time to time.

The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” or incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of Array for the year ended December 31, 2021 and has discussed these statements with management and BDO USA, LLP, or BDO, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Array management is responsible for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and for maintaining an adequate system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. The independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual consolidated financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those consolidated financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Array in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and discusses any issues they believe should be raised with us. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls, and its review included a discussion of the quality and acceptability of the Company’s financial reporting and internal controls.

The Audit Committee also received from, and discussed with, BDO the written disclosures and other communications that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed under the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB.

BDO also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB regarding independence. PCAOB rules require independent registered public accounting firms annually to disclose in writing all relationships that in their professional opinion may reasonably be thought to bear on independence, to confirm their perceived independence and engage in a discussion of independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed this disclosure and has discussed with BDO their independence from Array.

Based on its discussions with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Array Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by regulation of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms or written representations from certain reporting persons received by us with respect to fiscal year 2021, we believe that our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities have complied with all applicable filing requirements, except for Form 4’s for current directors Orlando Ashford, Jayanthi Iyengar, Brad Forth, Ron Corio and Troy Alstead, as well as former directors Frank Cannova and Jason Lee, which were filed on June 17, 2021 in connection with a grant of restricted stock units made on June 7, 2021.

The following is a summary of transactions to which we are a party in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements with directors and executive officers, which are described under “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation.” For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Company recognized $0.8 million, $4.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively, in equity-based compensation.

Ron Corio founded the business of the Company in 1989. On July 8, 2016, Oaktree, through ATI Investment Parent, LLC (“ATI Investment”), our former parent company, purchased a majority of the ownership of Array Tech, Inc. with Ron Corio and the other selling stockholders rolling over a portion of their ownership into ATI Investment. Although Ron Corio is no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company, he is a member of our Board.

Concurrent with ATI Investment’s acquisition of Array Technologies Patent Holdings Co., LLC, Array Tech, Inc. (f/k/a Array Technologies, Inc.) entered into a Taxes Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with the former majority shareholder of Array. The TRA is valued based on the future expected payments under the agreement. The TRA provides for the payment by Array Tech, Inc. to the former owner for certain federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax benefits deemed realized in post-closing taxable periods by Array, from the use of certain deductions generated by the increase in the tax value of the developed technology. The TRA is accounted for as contingent consideration and subsequent changes in fair value of the contingent liability are recognized in contingent consideration in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and December 2019, the fair value of the TRA was $14.6 million, $19.7 million and $17.8 respectively.

Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the TRA is by nature imprecise. The significant fair value inputs used to estimate the future expected TRA payments to the former owners include the timing of tax payments, a discount rate, book income projections, timing of expected adjustments to calculate taxable income and the projected rate of use for attributes defined in the TRA.

Payments made under the TRA consider tax positions taken by the Company and are due within 125 days following the filing of the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns under procedures described in the agreement. The current portion of the TRA liability is based on tax returns. The TRA will continue until all tax benefit payments have been made or the Company elects early termination under the terms described in the TRA.

As of December 31, 2021, the undiscounted future expected payments through December 31, under the TRA are as follows (in thousands):

The Company incurred $2.2 million in consent fees with the former majority shareholder of Array to allow a carryback of post-acquisition net operating losses to pre-acquisition periods under the CARES Act.

In connection with the IPO of our common stock in October 2020, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “IPO Registration Rights Agreement”), with Oaktree, the Corio Group and certain members of our management. Subject to certain conditions, the IPO Registration Rights Agreement provides Oaktree and the Corio Group with “long-form” demand registrations and “short-form” demand registration rights, as well as shelf registration rights. The IPO Registration Rights Agreement also provides Oaktree, the Corio Group and certain members of our management with customary “piggyback” registration rights. The IPO Registration Rights Agreement contains provisions that require the parties thereto to coordinate with one another with respect to sales of our common stock and will contain certain limitations on the ability of the members of our management party to the IPO Registration Rights Agreement to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of our common stock. The IPO Registration Rights Agreement also provides that we will pay certain expenses of these holders relating to such registrations and indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the IPO Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report.

In connection with the entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated August 10, 2021, between the Company and BCP Helios Aggregator L.P. (the “Purchaser”), the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “BCP Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted the Purchaser certain registration rights with respect to Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Non-Cash Dividend pursuant to the Certificate of Designations governing our Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, including customary shelf registration rights and “piggyback” registration rights. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our BCP Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L., as previously described in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 12, 2022 (the “STI Acquisition”), on January 11, 2022, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “STI Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain affiliates of STI (the “STI Holders”) that will receive a portion of the Stock Consideration issued at the closing of the STI Acquisition (the “STI Issuance”). Pursuant to the STI Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, the Company is required to file with the SEC a registration statement registering for resale the shares of the Company’s Common Stock received by the STI Holders as part of the STI Issuance. The STI Registration Rights Agreement also provides, among other things, that each STI Holder will agree not to sell its portion of the Stock Consideration received in the STI Issuance for 180 days following the closing of the STI Acquisition (the “Lock-Up Period); provided, however, the Lock-Up shall expire in respect of 20% of each STI Holder’s Registrable Securities (as defined in the STI Registration Rights Agreement) if for ten consecutive trading days beginning on the date that is three months after the date of the STI Registration Rights Agreement and prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds by 20% or more the price of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of the STI Registration Rights Agreement. Additionally, certain members of STI’s management who receive Common Stock in connection with the Transaction have entered into restrictions on the sale or transfer of their shares of the Common Stock for a period of 18 months, subject to certain early release conditions. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report.

We have had an employment agreement in place with Michael Corio since 2005. Michael Corio is a non-executive employee of the Company and the son of one of our non-executive directors, Ron Corio. Mr. Corio’s total compensation for fiscal 2021 was $173,190. We seek to fill positions with qualified employees, whether or not they are related to our executive officers or directors. We compensate employees who have such relationships within what we believe to be the current market rate for their position and provide benefits consistent with our policies that apply to similarly situated employees.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we shall indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). For further information, see the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock—Indemnification and Limitations on Directors’ Liability” in our Annual Report. We intend to enter into customary indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors that provide them, in general, with customary indemnification in connection with their service to us or on our behalf.

The audit committee of our Board has primary responsibility for reviewing and approving transactions with related parties. Our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall review and approve in advance any related party transactions.

We have adopted a formal written policy providing that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as directors, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our voting stock, any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, and any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed, is a general partner or principal or in a similar position, or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest, is not permitted to enter into a related party transaction with us without the consent of our audit committee, subject to the exceptions described below. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our audit committee is to consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to our audit committee, including whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. Our audit committee is expected to determine that certain transactions will not require audit committee approval, including certain employment arrangements of executive officers, director compensation, transactions with another company at which a related party’s only relationship is as a non-executive employee or beneficial owner of less than 5% of that company’s shares, transactions where a related party’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our common stock and all holders of our common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis, and transactions available to all employees generally.

In accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Board is divided into three classes of approximately equal size.

The members of each class are elected to serve a three-year term with the term of office of each class ending in successive years. Paulo Almirante, Ron Corio and Jayanthi Iyengar are the Class II directors whose terms expire at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of stockholders. Each of Messrs. Almirante, Corio and Ms. Iyengar has been nominated for and has agreed to stand for re-election to the Board to serve as a Class II director of the Company for three years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Our bylaws provide that director nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast by holders of shares of common stock present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be elected. Stockholders have the option to vote “FOR” each of the nominees, or “WITHHOLD” their vote from each of the nominees or “WITHHOLD” their vote from any one of the nominees. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes will not be treated as a vote for or against any particular director nominee and will not affect the outcome of the election. Stockholders may not vote, or submit a proxy, for a greater number of nominees than named above.

It is intended that, unless you give contrary instructions, shares represented by proxies will be voted for the election of the two nominees listed above as director nominees. Array has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. In the event that one or more nominees is unexpectedly not available to serve, proxies may be voted for another person nominated as a substitute by the Board, or the Board may reduce the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Information relating to each nominee for election as director and for each continuing director, including his or her period of service as a director of Array, principal occupation and other biographical material is shown earlier in this proxy statement.

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of BDO USA, LLP or BDO, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of BDO, and BDO has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2016.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares of common stock who are present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required (on a non-binding advisory basis) to ratify the appointment of BDO. Abstentions will have no effect on the results of this vote.

The Audit Committee annually reviews the independent registered public accounting firm's independence, including reviewing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us and any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s performance. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of BDO to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. To assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of our independent external audit firm. In addition, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of BDO’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee is directly involved with the selection of BDO’s new lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of BDO to serve as our independent external auditor is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

We expect that a representative of BDO will attend the Annual Meeting and the representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so chooses. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

The Audit Committee pre-approves all auditing services, internal control related services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed by BDO, subject to the de minimis exception for non-audit services that are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of an audit. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more members of the Audit Committee consistent with applicable law and listing standards, provided that the decisions of such Audit Committee member or members must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee is responsible for the audit fee negotiations associated with our retention of BDO.

We regularly review the services and fees of our independent registered public accounting firm. These services and fees are also reviewed by the Audit Committee on an annual basis. The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for each of the following categories of services are as follows (in thousands):

Audit Fees. Consist of aggregate fees for professional services provided in connection with the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements, the review of our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements, consultations on accounting matters directly related to the audit. For 2020, includes fees for professional services

rendered in connection with our Form S-1 and amendments thereto related to our initial public offering of common stock completed in October 2020 and our secondary offering of common stock completed in December 2020. For 2021, includes (i) fees for professional services rendered in connection with our Form S-1 and amendments thereto related to our secondary offering of common stock completed in March 2021, (ii) fees for professional services in connection with our offering of Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, and (iii) fees for professional services in connection with our offering of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028.

Audit-Related Fees. Consist of aggregate fees for accounting consultations and other services that were reasonably related to the performance of audits or reviews of our consolidated financial statements and were not reported above under “Audit Fees.”

Tax Fees. Consist of aggregate fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services including the review and preparation of our federal and state income tax returns.

All Other Fees. Consist of aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm other than those disclosed above.

The Audit Committee pre-approved all services performed since the pre-approval policy was adopted.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders are being asked to approve the Array Technologies, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved by the Board on December 1, 2021, subject to shareholder approval. The material features of the ESPP are summarized below.

The purpose of the ESPP is to enable eligible employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of our common stock and thereby acquire an ownership interest in the Company. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

As of March 31, 2022, 19,081,046 shares of our Common Stock were available for future issuance or subject to outstanding awards under our 2020 Plan, which represents 12.7% of our common stock outstanding on such date. The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be purchased under the ESPP will be 3,500,000 (the “Share Pool”), subject to adjustment as provided for in the ESPP, which represents 2.3% of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022. In establishing the Share Pool, our Board considered the potential dilutive impact to stockholders, the estimated projected participation rate over the ten-year term of the plan, equity plan guidelines established by certain proxy advisory firms and advice provided by Pay Governance, the compensation consultant to the Compensation Committee. For information about options and restricted stock units outstanding under our existing equity plans and the number of shares available for issuance under these plans, each as of December 31, 2021, please see “Equity Compensation Plans” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

The full text of the ESPP is set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement. The following description of certain features of the ESPP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP.

Administration. The ESPP will be administered by the Compensation Committee (except that the Board may at any time act in the capacity of administrator), which will have the authority to interpret and determine eligibility under the plan, prescribe forms, rules and procedures relating to the plan, and otherwise do all things necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of the plan. The Compensation Committee (or the Board, as applicable) may delegate its authority under the ESPP to one or more of its members (or one or more members of our Board) such of its duties, powers, and responsibilities as it may determine and to employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate. As used in this summary, the term “administrator” refers to the Compensation Committee, our Board or any authorized delegates, as applicable.

Shares Subject to the ESPP. As noted above, the Share Pool consists of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment, as described below. Shares delivered upon exercise of options under the ESPP may be either shares of authorized but unissued common stock, treasury stock, or previously issued common stock acquired by the Company. In the event of any change in our outstanding common stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital structure, the administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the aggregate number and type of shares available for purchase under the ESPP, the number and type of shares granted under any outstanding options, the maximum number and type of shares purchasable under any outstanding option, and/or the purchase price per share under an outstanding option.

Shares will not be treated as delivered, and will not reduce the number of shares in the aggregate unless and until, and to the extent, they are actually delivered to a participant. If any option granted under the ESPP expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full or ceases for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares of common stock subject to such option will not reduce the Share Pool and will remain available for purchase under the ESPP. On March 31, 2022, the closing price of a share of our common stock was $11.27.

Eligibility. Participation in the ESPP will be limited to employees of the Company or a designated subsidiary (i) who have been continuously employed for a period of at least 14 days as of the first day of the option period, (ii) whose customary employment is for more than five months per calendar year, (iii) who

customarily work 20 hours or more per week, and (iv) who satisfy the other requirements set forth in the ESPP. Under the ESPP, designated subsidiaries include any subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Company that has been designated by our Board or the Compensation Committee as eligible to participate in the ESPP.

No employee may be granted an option under the ESPP if, immediately after the option is granted, the employee would own (or, pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, would be deemed to own) shares possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The administrator may establish additional eligibility requirements for option periods that have not yet commenced that are not inconsistent with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

As of March 31, 2022, approximately 473 employees would be eligible to participate in the ESPP, including all of our executive officers.

Transferability. Options granted to participants under the ESPP are not assignable or transferable and may be exercised only by the participant during his or her lifetime. For participants who have purchased shares under the ESPP, the administrator may impose restrictions prohibiting the transfer, sale, pledge or alienation of such shares, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as may be determined by the administrator.

Amendment and Termination of the ESPP. The administrator has the discretion to amend the ESPP to any extent and in any manner it may deem advisable, provided that any amendment that would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code will require stockholder approval.

The administrator also has the right at any time to suspend or terminate the ESPP. In connection with such a termination or suspension, the administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, either that the outstanding option s will be exercisable on the Exercise Date for the applicable option period (or such earlier date as the administrator may specify), or that each participant’s accumulated payroll deductions will be returned to the participant without interest.

Sub-Plans. Consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, the administrator may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the ESPP, or an offering, or provide for separate offerings under the ESPP to, among other things, reflect the impact of local law outside of the United States as applied to one or more eligible employees of a designated subsidiary and may, where appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans to reflect such amended provisions.

Effective Date and Term. The ESPP is effective as of the date our Board adopted the ESPP, subject to approval by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. No option s will be granted under the ESPP after the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the ESPP by the administrator and (ii) the issuance of all shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP.

Corporate Transactions. In the event of certain corporate transactions (including a consolidation, merger or similar transaction, a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or such other corporate transaction as is determined by the administrator), the administrator may, in its discretion, provide that each outstanding option will be assumed or exchanged for a substitute option granted by the acquiror or successor corporation or by a parent or subsidiary of such entity, or will be cancelled with accumulated payroll deductions returned to each participant, or that the option period will end on or before the date of the proposed sale, merger or similar transaction (in which case, the date on which the option period terminates will be treated as the Exercise Date for such option period).

The following is a summary of certain material federal income tax consequences associated with the grant and exercise of options under the ESPP under current federal tax laws. The summary does not address tax rates or non-U.S., state or local tax consequences, nor does it address employment tax or other federal tax consequences except as noted.

The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, an employee will not recognize U.S. taxable income until the sale or other disposition of the shares of our common stock purchased under the ESPP (“ESPP Shares”). Upon such sale or disposition, the employee will generally be subject to tax in an amount that depends on the employee’s holding period with respect to the ESPP Shares.

We are not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to an employee except to the extent of ordinary income recognized upon a sale or disposition of ESPP Shares prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above.

Because awards to employees under the ESPP are based on voluntary contributions in amounts determined by the participant, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated under the ESPP are not determinable at this time. Future purchase prices are not determinable because they are based upon the fair market value of shares of our common stock at the beginning and end of each applicable option period.

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, at least once every six years beginning with this Annual Meeting, our stockholders are entitled to vote on whether the advisory vote to approve Named Executive Officer (“NEO”) compensation (i.e., the “say-on-pay” vote) should occur every year, every two years, or every three years. A stockholder may also abstain from voting on this proposal.

The Board recommends that future say-on-pay votes be conducted every year to enable our stockholders to regularly evaluate the Company’s executive compensation program. An annual vote also allows our stockholders to comment in a more timely fashion on the Company’s annual incentive programs and enhance stockholder engagement on the topic of executive compensation. Accordingly, the Company asks the stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company hereby approve, on an advisory basis, that a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of the NEOs of the Company pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act (“say-on-pay”) should be held every year.”

Please mark on the Proxy Card your preference as to the frequency of holding “say-on-pay” stockholder advisory votes as every year, every two years, or every three years or mark “abstain.” Note that you are not voting on whether to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation; rather you are being asked to affirmatively select the option of holding an advisory say-on-pay vote every year, every two years or every three years.

The advisory vote on the frequency of holding the “say-on-pay” vote is non-binding. Although the vote is non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review the voting results and give serious consideration to the outcome of such voting. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Board in any way, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by a majority of our stockholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting. If no option receives a majority of the votes present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, the option receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency recommended by the Company’s stockholders.

We will hold our first “say-on-pay” vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting. A vote on the frequency of holding the “say-on-pay” vote will occur at least once every six years. The proxy holders named on the accompanying proxy card will vote to hold the advisory “say-on-pay” vote every year unless a stockholder directs otherwise.

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may be accessed free of charge by visiting our investor relations website at ir.arraytechinc.com and going to the “Governance Highlights” section under the “Corporate Governance” tab, or by requesting a copy in writing from our Secretary at our Albuquerque, New Mexico office.

A copy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines may also be accessed free of charge by visiting our investor relations website at ir.arraytechinc.com and going to the “Governance Highlights” section under the “Corporate Governance” tab, or by requesting a copy in writing from our Secretary at our Albuquerque, New Mexico office.

A copy of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K has been posted on the Internet along with this proxy statement. Upon written request, we will mail, without charge, a copy of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K excluding exhibits. Please send a written request to our Corporate Secretary at:

SEC rules concerning the delivery of annual disclosure documents allow us or your broker to send a single Notice of Proxy Materials or, if applicable, a single set of our proxy materials to any household at which two or more of our stockholders reside, if we or your broker believe that the stockholders are members of the same family, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This practice, referred to as “householding,” benefits both you and us. It reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce our expenses. The rule applies to our Notices of Proxy Materials, annual reports, proxy statements and information statements.

We will undertake to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Notice of Proxy Materials or proxy materials was delivered. You may make a written or oral request by sending a notification to our Secretary at the address or telephone number above, providing your name, your shared address, and the address to which we should direct the additional copy of the Notice of Proxy Materials or proxy materials. Multiple stockholders sharing an address who have received one copy of a mailing and would prefer us to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings should contact us at our principal executive offices. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of a mailing and would prefer us to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of that request may also be made through our principal executive offices. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Considered for Inclusion in our Proxy Materials. To be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement, stockholder proposals must have been received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than the close of business on December 9, 2022, which is 120 days prior to the date that is one year from this year’s mailing date of April 8, 2022.

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals or Director Nominations to be Brought Before an Annual Meeting. Our bylaws provide that, for stockholder nominations to the Board or other proposals to be considered at an annual meeting, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary at Array Technologies, Inc., 3901 Midway Place NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109. The nominating and corporate governance

committee does not have a written policy regarding stockholder nominations but has determined that it is the practice of the committee to consider candidates proposed by stockholders if made in accordance with our bylaws. To be timely for the 2022 annual meeting, although not included in the proxy statement, the stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by us not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day nor later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting, except that if the annual meeting is set for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, we must receive the notice not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which we first provide notice or public disclosure of the date of the meeting. Assuming the date of our 2022 annual meeting is not so advanced or delayed, stockholders who wish to make a proposal at the 2023 annual meeting must notify us no earlier than January 24, 2023 and no later than February 23, 2023. Such notice must provide the information required by our bylaws with respect to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the 2023 annual meeting.

Stockholders wishing to communicate with the Board may do so by writing to the Board or to the non-employee members of the Board as a group, at:

Array Technologies, Inc.

  3901 Midway Place NE

  Albuquerque, NM 87109

  Attention: Secretary

The communication must prominently display the legend “BOARD COMMUNICATION” in order to indicate to the Secretary that it is a communication for the Board. Upon receiving such a communication, the Secretary will promptly forward the communication to the relevant individual or group to which it is addressed. Certain items that are unrelated to the Board’s duties and responsibilities may be excluded, such as spam, junk mail and mass mailings, resumes and other forms of job inquiries, surveys and business solicitations or advertisements. The Secretary will not forward any communication determined in his good faith belief to be frivolous, unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable.

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board does not intend to present any matters other than those described herein at the Annual Meeting and is unaware of any matters to be presented by other parties. If other matters are properly brought before the meeting for action by the stockholders, proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holder.

The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format at https://virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ARRY2022.

To participate in the meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included in your Notice of Proxy Materials or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in the Plan and sets forth certain operational rules related to those terms.

The Plan is intended to enable Eligible Employees to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of Stock, and thereby acquire an interest in the Company. The Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 and to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and is to be construed consistently with that intent.
