EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) on Form 10-K/A amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, of SPX FLOW, Inc. (“SPX FLOW,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 16, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-K”). The Original Form 10-K omitted certain disclosures within Part III, Items 10 (Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance), 11 (Executive Compensation), 12 (Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters), 13 (Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence) and 14 (Principal Accountant Fees and Services) (the “Part III Disclosure”) in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which provides that such information may be incorporated by reference from a registrant’s definitive proxy statement to be filed with the SEC not later than 120 days after the Company’s fiscal year-end.

The information included herein as required by the Part III Disclosure is more limited than what is required to be included in the definitive proxy statement. At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on March 3, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 12, 2021 between the Company and certain affiliates of Lone Star Funds (“Lone Star”). See “Agreement and Plan of Merger,” below, for additional information. As a result, the Company does not currently anticipate that a definitive proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders will be filed within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year and is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) to include the disclosures omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance upon General Instruction G(3).

Pursuant to the SEC rules, Part IV, Item 15 has also been amended to contain the currently dated certificates from the Company’s principal executive and financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certificates of the Company’s principal executive and financial officer are attached to this Amendment as Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Additionally, SPX FLOW is not including the certificate under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.

Accordingly, this Amendment is being filed solely to:

•amend Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the Original Form 10-K to include the information required by such Items;

•revise the reference on the cover of the Original Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference of portions of our proxy statement into Part III of the Original Form 10-K; and

•file new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV hereof, pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and to restate Item 15 to reflect the filing of these certifications.

Except for the information described above, this Amendment does not otherwise change or update any of the disclosures set forth in the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original 10-K or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On December 12, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with LSF11 Redwood Acquisitions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Redwood Star Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As a result of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares, owned by Parent or Merger Sub or held by any holders who have properly demanded and perfected appraisal rights in compliance with Delaware law) will automatically be canceled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $86.50, without interest thereon.

The Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, (1) receipt of the vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger Agreement; (2) the expiration or earlier termination of the applicable waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (3) obtaining certain consents from government entities under applicable foreign merger control laws; and (4) the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger. Parent’s obligations to consummate the Merger are conditioned upon, without limitation, the absence of a material adverse change and obtaining certain consents from government entities under applicable foreign merger control and foreign direct investment laws. The Merger Agreement also includes certain termination rights for both the Company and Parent and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, termination fees may be owed by the Company to Parent, depending on the circumstances surrounding a termination.

If the Merger is consummated, we anticipate that the shares of Company Common Stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The foregoing summary is qualified by reference to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.3 hereto by incorporation by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 15, 2021.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that SPX FLOW’s officers, directors and 10% stockholders file reports of ownership and changes of ownership of SPX FLOW common stock with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Based on a review of copies of these reports filed with the SEC, we believe that all filing requirements in 2021 were timely met, except that one report for Sonya M. Roberts reporting the restricted stock award granted to her upon her election as a director was filed several days late as a result of a delay in obtaining Edgar filing codes needed to file the report.

Such shares of restricted stock will vest the day prior to the 2022 annual meeting, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board as of the vesting date. Time-vested restricted stock awards are designed to help ensure directors remain engaged and have interests closely aligned with those of our long-term stockholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of such restricted stock will, upon the effective time of the Merger, be fully vested canceled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $86.50.

Any cash dividends paid with respect to shares of unvested restricted stock are deposited in the director’s name in an escrow or similar account maintained by SPX FLOW for that purpose. These dividends are subject to the same time restrictions as the shares of restricted stock to which they relate and are payable only upon vesting of the underlying stock.

For 2021, our directors were compensated as set forth below:


Compensatory Element						2021 ($)
Time-Vested Restricted Stock Annual Grant						130,000
Annual Cash Retainer						70,000
Non-Executive Chairman of the Board						125,000
Audit Committee Chair						20,000
Compensation Committee Chair						15,000
Nominating Committee Chair						10,000

OTHER

The SPX FLOW Foundation (the “Foundation”) makes matching donations for qualified charitable contributions for any director up to a total of $20,000 per annum.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Non-employee director stock ownership guidelines are three times the annual cash retainer. Our guidelines require each director to attain the desired level of ownership within five years of the date of appointment as a director of our company. Shares held in family trusts and shares held in retirement plan accounts are deemed to be owned shares for purposes of these guidelines. Unexercised stock options and unvested performance-based equity awards are excluded.

Once a director attains the desired level of share ownership, he or she shall continue to be considered in compliance with these guidelines if the cause of the non-compliance was a decrease in the price of the Company stock, so long as the director retains at least 50% of the net shares acquired pursuant to vested restricted stock grants until the director’s holdings of Company stock equals or exceeds the ownership guideline. Each director was in compliance with these requirements as of February 23, 2022.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) outlines our executive compensation programs for 2021 for our named executive officers who are listed below and appear in the Summary Compensation Table (each a “NEO”).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following pages describe SPX FLOW’s executive compensation program and the compensation decisions made by the Compensation Committee for NEOs listed below.


NEO						Title
Marcus G. Michael						President and Chief Executive Officer
Jaime M. Easley						Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Alvin T. Jeffers						Vice President, Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain
Kevin Eamigh						Chief Information Officer and Vice President, Global Business Services
Peter J. Ryan						Vice President, Chief People Officer and General Counsel

Our compensation programs are metric-driven and designed to align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our long-term stockholders. Our Compensation Committee rewards performance that meets or exceeds our goals, builds stockholder value and compares favorably to the Company’s peers. In line with our pay-for-performance philosophy, the total compensation received by our NEOs will vary based on corporate performance measured against annual and long-term targets. In 2021, our annual incentive plan focused on Organic Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Working Capital as a Percentage of Revenue (“Adjusted Working Capital Percentage”) and Strategic Objectives. Our long-term incentive plan measures two criteria over a three-year period: (i) three year average annual operating income margin (“OIM”) and (ii) relative Total Shareholder Return measured against the S&P MidCap 400 Capital Goods Industry Group (“rTSR”). The total compensation of our NEOs is therefore comprised of base salary, annual incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and reasonable perquisites.

In 2021, our focus on supporting our key customers, accelerating new product development, seamlessly integrating acquisitions and refocusing on our highest margin and growth product categories resulted in growing our revenue organically by 7% and increasing our operating income by over 40%. While we made meaningful progress in 2021, we did not satisfy the three-year average Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) targets under the 2019 ROIC long-term incentive awards, resulting in the forfeiture of those awards. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed description of our fiscal year 2021 results.

The Company’s performance in 2021 was the key factor in the compensation decisions and outcomes that are reflected in this report.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

•Our annual incentive plan, the Enterprise Incentive Plan (“EIP”), measured Organic Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Working Capital Percentage and Strategic Objectives against pre-determined targets calibrated to reward employees with a portion of the incremental value created for our stockholders during the year. The metric weightings under the EIP give emphasis to profitability, with the weighting for Adjusted Operating Income Margin at 38%, Organic Revenue at 18.5%, Adjusted Working Capital Percentage at 18.5% and Strategic Objectives at 25%.

•Our long-term incentive awards under our Stock Compensation Plan comprise a significant portion of the NEOs’ compensation. For each grant of restricted stock units to our NEOs under this plan, 25% of the award vests ratably over three-years and 75% of the award cliff-vests at the end of three-years dependent upon OIM and rTSR performance.

•The Compensation Committee reviewed the base salary of our NEOs compared to our peers and the overall economy and determined base salary increases for Mr. Easley (5.1%), Mr. Jeffers (3.2%) and Mr. Ryan (12.1%) during its annual review process. The other NEOs did not receive a salary increase in 2021.

CEO Compensation – Mr. Michael’s annual base salary for 2021 was $950,000, his target annual bonus opportunity was set at 100% of his annual base salary, and the grant date fair value of equity awarded was $4,999,868. Mr. Michael does not participate in any SPX FLOW pension plan. We describe his perquisites below, and believe they are typical in both type and amount for our peer companies.

Annual Bonus Awards – The Company sets a target annual cash bonus award for the majority of employees, including our NEOs, based upon overall Company performance against key internal metrics. For 2021, our NEOs were eligible for a bonus based on Company achievement of goals for Organic Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Working Capital Percentage and Strategic Objectives. While the Company met or exceeded target levels on all goals, the Compensation Committee applied negative discretion to lower the Adjusted Working Capital Percentage metric payout due to slower cash development, overall Q4 2021 results and front-end weighting in the annualized calculation, which lowered the EIP payout from 127% to 100%.

Long-term Incentive Plan – Our long-term incentive plans are designed to align the incentives of NEOs with those of our long-term stockholders. For 2021, NEOs, including Mr. Michael, received 75% of their long-term incentive awards as performance-based equity that cliff-vests after three years and 25% of their long-term incentive awards as time-based awards that vest ratably over three years.

Key attributes of the performance-based portion of the Stock Compensation Awards made in 2021:

•Cliff vesting after three-year performance measurement period.

•Two performance metrics

◦rTSR, versus the S&P MidCap 400 Capital Goods Industry Group (the “Comparator Group”) over a 3-year period whereby between 0% and up to 200% of the stock grant may vest based on the Company’s percentile rank versus the Comparator Group. If the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) is negative in any year, then the payout multiplier is capped at 100% regardless of relative performance to peers. Upon vesting, the rTSR awards generally restrict the recipient from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the underlying shares for a one-year period, ending December 31, 2024. In addition, the value of the rTSR awards upon vesting is capped at four (4) times the grant date fair market value; and

◦OIM, measured on a 3-year annual average basis whereby between 0% and up to 400% of the stock grant may vest based on the Company’s achievement against pre-defined improvement targets.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

◦The rTSR award is weighed at 25%, and the OIM award is weighted at 50%, of the total long-term incentive award value.

Pension – Our NEOs do not participate in a pension plan.

2021 ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee reviewed the results of the 2021 stockholder advisory vote on NEO compensation and incorporated the results as one of the many factors considered in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. Since a substantial majority (99%) of our stockholders voting at the annual meeting approved the compensation program described in our 2021 Proxy Statement, the Compensation Committee did not implement changes to our executive compensation program as a direct result of the stockholders’ advisory vote.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

We follow these guiding principles when designing and setting compensation for our NEOs:

•Compensation should reward performance

•Compensation should align the interests of our NEOs with those of our long-term stockholders

•Compensation should support our business and human capital strategies

•Compensation should attract, motivate and retain quality NEOs

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES

We tailor compensation to the business and competitive environment because our success depends on our ability to attract and retain experienced and proven leaders and to motivate them to deliver superior results.

The proportion of incentive-based pay increases along with responsibility and authority. For our senior-level management, and in particular for our NEOs, a majority of total direct compensation at target, defined as salary, bonus, and equity awards, is variable.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

NEO performance is judged primarily by reference to performance of the Company as a whole. Additional, subjective, assessments are made, including direct assessments of performance, formal talent assessment reviews, and assessments of adherence to our values. The Compensation Committee also reviews total compensation at least annually and termination values periodically. The Compensation Committee establishes and approves all elements of compensation for our CEO based on input from and discussions with management and the Committee’s independent compensation advisor, as well as its own assessments.

Role of the Independent Compensation Advisor and Management

The Compensation Committee has retained Pearl Meyer as its independent compensation advisor. The independent compensation advisor consults on all aspects of executive officer and director compensation. The most significant aspects of management’s role in the compensation-setting process are as follows:

•Our human resources, finance and legal departments prepare materials for the Compensation Committee, as does the Committee’s independent compensation advisor.

•Our CEO provides his evaluation of the performance of each of the other NEOs and offers recommendations regarding their salary levels, bonus targets and equity awards. These recommendations are reviewed with the Committee’s independent compensation advisor and then submitted to the Committee for review, discussion, and approval.

•Management prepares and recommends business performance targets and objectives.

SPX FLOW PEER GROUP

The Compensation Committee and its outside compensation advisor have set a group of peer companies for our company for the purpose of compensation comparisons. Our peer group includes companies with a revenue range of 0.5 - 2.5 times the Company’s annual revenue, similar industries and business mix and which are key competitors for senior talent. Other factors include international exposure, number of employees, total stockholder return profile over various periods, and the GICs industry sub-group. For 2021, our peer companies, in descending order based on 2020 revenue, included Flowserve Corporation, Colfax Corporation, Crane Co., Regal Rexnord Corporation, Valmont Industries, Inc., Woodward, Inc., ITT Inc., Curtiss-Wright Corporation, IDEX Corporation, Harsco Corporation, Graco, Inc., SPX Corporation, Watts Water Technologies, Inc., Barnes Group Inc., EnPro Industries, Inc., CIRCOR International, Inc. and Enerpac Tool Group Corp.

Please note that peer company compensation analysis is used only for comparative purposes. We do not target specific benchmark percentiles. We award compensation considering factors including market forces, Company or individual performance, longevity of contribution to the Company, existing contractual obligations, and differing levels of responsibility and value created by officers with the same or similar title.

2021 COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee established the executive compensation program to implement our focus on pay-for-performance, aligning the interests of our executive officers to our stockholders, supporting our business strategy and attracting key talent to the Company. Following are the key elements:

See the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table for a listing of other compensation.

NEO performance was judged primarily by reference to performance of the Company as a whole. Additional, subjective assessments were made by the Compensation Committee in respect of adherence to Company values, competence, potential and alignment with Company goals. The Compensation Committee established, reviewed and approved all elements of compensation for the CEO based on review of key financial metrics, input from and discussions with members of the management team and its independent compensation advisor, Pearl Meyer.

Base Salary

Base salary is designed to offer competitive base income in the context of the NEO’s role and responsibilities, experience and tenure, internal equity considerations, individual performance and contribution to Company results. In 2021, Messrs. Easley, Jeffers and Ryan received salary increases of 5.1%, 3.2% and 12.1%, respectively. Each salary increase was in line with the Company’s U.S. merit increase budget and became effective in the first payroll date of April 2021. The other NEOs did not receive a salary increase in 2021.

Bonuses

Our annual incentive plan, the EIP, measured Organic Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Working Capital Percentage and Strategic Objectives against pre-determined targets calibrated to reward employees with a portion of the incremental value created for our stockholders during the year.

Targets

Annual cash bonus awards are targeted as a percentage of annual salary. This percentage increases as the employee’s responsibilities and authority increase to help ensure that those most able to impact Company performance have the greatest percentage of their total compensation tied to Company performance.

Target bonuses for the NEOs were unchanged for 2021, with targets of 100% of salary for Mr. Michael, President and CEO, and 70% for each of Messrs. Easley, Jeffers, Eamigh and Ryan.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

Awards

The Organic Revenue metric is intended to focus the organization on the importance of increasing productivity and improving customer experience and measures all revenue of the Company related to the sale of goods and provision of services to its customers, subject to adjustments for foreign currency fluctuations and other matters.

Adjusted Operating Income Margin is intended to reward operational performance without the impact of certain, discrete, and/or non-cash expenses and is calculated as the Company’s operating profit (determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”)) as a percentage of revenue during the 2021 plan year, adjusted for, but not limited to, expense related to the EIP, restructuring charges, goodwill/asset impairments, amortization, material effects of foreign currency translation, and certain expenses related to mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, subject to such adjustments as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Adjusted Working Capital Percentage is intended to reward working capital management and drive free cash flow generation and is defined as the simple average of the quarterly working capital percentage for all quarters of 2021, adjusted for any unusual items as determined by the Compensation Committee. Quarterly working capital percentage is the percentage determined for a particular quarter by dividing (i) select current assets minus select current liabilities, calculated on an average monthly basis for such quarter, by (ii) annualized Organic Revenue for such quarter.

The 2021 EIP also included two Strategic Objectives, collectively worth up to 25% of the target amount of the Plan. The Strategic Objectives were developed to focus the management team on critical elements of the Company’s long-term strategy that may not produce financial results in the early years. The first objective was the deployment of the 80/20 focus on higher quality revenue for customer experience and operational excellence, with the highest degree of focus on those customers whose business relationships comprise the largest portion of our profits. The second objective was to enhance people and culture performance. The Compensation Committee believes the Company made significant progress on both strategic objectives.

Based on the Company’s performance, the Compensation Committee awarded a bonus payout of 100% of target:


EIP Metric*	2021 Threshold	2021 Target	2021 Stretch	2021 Actual Results	Metric Weighting	Payout Percentage
Organic Revenue	$1,412	$1,470	$1,521	$1,498	18.5%	23.0%
Adjusted Operating Income Margin	11.7%	12.6%	16.7%	13.6%	38.0%	41.0%
Adjusted Working Capital Percentage	17.5%	16.7%	16.0%	15.9%	18.5%	38.0%
Strategic Objectives	50.0%	100.0%	N/A	100.0%	25.0%	25.0%
Cumulative Bonus Percentage Payout Earned under the EIP:						100.0% (1)

•$ amounts in millions.

(1)The Compensation Committee applied negative discretion to lower the Adjusted Working Capital Percentage metric payout due to slower cash development, overall fourth quarter 2021 results and front-end weighting in the annualized calculation, which lowered the total EIP payout from 127% to 100%.

Equity-Based Awards

Long-term equity awards are designed to promote stock ownership and expose senior-level management to the risks and rewards faced by long-term stockholders. Each award includes (i) performance-based restricted stock units that are subject to the Company’s rTSR versus the Comparator Group and OIM, and (ii) time-based restricted stock units that vest evenly in annual increments over three years subject to continued employment, with continued vesting (in the case of performance-based awards) or accelerated vesting (in the case of time-based awards) in the event of retirement.

Because time-based restricted stock unit awards vest ratably over three years based on continued employment, they have significant employee retention value and also continue to tie the interests of NEOs to those of stockholders after they are awarded. Grants of performance-based and time-based restricted stock unit awards are the most significant component of our NEOs’ direct compensation opportunity.

Performance-based restricted stock unit awards feature cliff-vesting after a three-year performance period in which two criteria are measured: (i) for one-third of the award (the “rTSR Award”), the Company’s rTSR is measured against the Comparator Group and between 0% and up to 200% of that portion of the award may vest based on the Company’s percentile ranking versus the Comparator Group between the 35th and 75th percentile, and (ii) for the other two-thirds of the award (the “OIM Award”), the Company’s three-year annual average OIM is measured and compared against predetermined targets whereby between 0% and up to 400% of that portion of the award may vest based upon the Company’s performance. Upon vesting, the rTSR awards generally restrict the recipient from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the underlying shares for a one-year period, ending December 31, 2024.

The rTSR Awards are intended to align the interests of NEOs with those of stockholders and reward exceptional performance in comparison to the Comparator Group. The OIM Awards are intended to align NEOs with the Company’s focus on long-term OIM growth.

The table below shows the long-term incentive awards granted in 2021 for each of our NEOs:


NEO	Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award (at target level) (1)(#)	Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award (2)(#)
Marcus G. Michael	56,843	18,242
Jaime M. Easley	12,918	4,145
Alvin T. Jeffers	9,688	3,109

(1)Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards are awards that feature cliff-vesting after a three-year performance period.

(2)Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards are awards that vest at the rate of 1/3 per year over three years based on continued employment.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

We made performance-based restricted stock awards in 2019, with one-half of the value of the awards being similar to the rTSR Awards granted in 2021. As a result of the Company’s rTSR ranking in the 97th percentile against the S&P MidCap 400 Capital Goods Industry Group, the 2019 rTSR Award would vest at 150.0%. The other half of the target performance-based restricted stock awards (the “ROIC Awards”) granted in 2019 based performance on the Company’s three-year average return on invested capital on an adjusted, pre-tax basis (“ROIC”), compared against predetermined performance levels with vesting ranging from 0% up to 150% of the target award amount based upon the Company’s performance. The 2019 ROIC Award vested at 0% as a result of the Company’s ROIC of 5.56% compared against predetermined targets. These predetermined targets were as follows: 7.00% ROIC for Threshold (50% vesting), 7.75% ROIC for Target (100% vesting) and 8.50% ROIC for Maximum (150% vesting).

Equity Awards Practices

A full review of executive compensation, including equity awards, is conducted at least annually. Equity awards were reviewed, approved and granted within the first quarter of the award year. Dividends and dividend equivalents with respect to any shares of unvested restricted stock or restricted stock units are deposited in the NEO’s name in an escrow or similar account maintained by SPX FLOW for that purpose. The NEO receives these dividends or dividend equivalents only if and when the related shares of equity or restricted stock units vest. Dividends and dividend equivalents are forfeited if the equity or restricted stock unit on which those dividends or dividend equivalents were paid is forfeited. The Company paid three quarterly dividends of $0.09 each in 2021. In the event of retirement, unvested time-based restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards will vest immediately and unvested performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards will remain subject to the original performance requirements and vesting schedule (to the extent provided under such agreement).

Other Benefits and Perquisites

We provide perquisites to attract and retain executives in a competitive marketplace, and believe these benefits are generally consistent with market practices of our peer group and other comparable public industrial manufacturing companies. See the Summary Compensation Table and accompanying footnotes on pages 25 and 26 for a full listing of benefits and perquisites. We do not provide tax gross-up payments for perquisites.

The CEO may utilize the Company-leased aircraft for personal travel for himself and his family. Other NEOs may be permitted personal use of the Company-leased aircraft for themselves and their families if approved by our CEO. This benefit enhances security for our officers and allows them to devote more time to SPX FLOW business. We report the value of any personal use of the Company-leased aircraft by NEOs as ordinary taxable income and the incremental cost of such use as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table.

Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans

NEOs and other senior-level management are eligible to participate in the SPX FLOW Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) and the SPX FLOW Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (the “SRSP”), a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that permits voluntary deferrals of base salary and annual bonuses in excess of those permitted under the 401(k) Plan. See the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2021 table and accompanying narrative and footnotes on pages 30 and 31 for more information regarding these plans.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

Termination and Change-in-Control Provisions

We design termination and change-in-control contractual provisions to be competitive at the time we enter into an agreement. These arrangements are designed to protect stockholder interests by stabilizing management during periods of uncertainty. Generally, executives are more willing to accept risks and costs if they are protected in the event their employment is terminated due to unanticipated changes, including a change in control. Additionally, executives often assign significant value to severance agreements because they provide compensation for lost professional opportunities in the event of a change in control. These arrangements also can be a powerful tool to discourage entrenchment of management, in that severance agreements can offset the risk of financial and professional loss that management may face when recommending a sale to or merger with another company.

In the case of certain terminations following a change in control, the NEOs become immediately vested in all previously granted unvested SPX FLOW equity, including shares and units subject to performance vesting at the target level of vesting. This feature is designed to be equitable in the event of dismissal without cause or resignation for good reason, and we believe it is appropriate in the event of termination following a change in control. Additionally, other benefits may be paid in the event the executive is terminated following a change in control (sometimes called a “double trigger”).

Termination and change-in-control agreements are further discussed and quantified in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” on pages 31-33.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We maintain stock ownership guidelines to emphasize the importance of substantive, long-term share ownership by senior executives to align their financial interests with those of stockholders. The guidelines are:


Chief Executive Officer									500% of salary
Other Executive Officers									300% of salary
Other executives designated by the Compensation Committee									100% - 200% of salary

Shares held in family trusts and shares held in retirement plan accounts are deemed to be owned shares for purposes of these guidelines. Unexercised stock options and unvested performance-based equity awards are excluded.

Executive leaders are asked to attain the desired level of share ownership within five years of the later of appointment to an executive position or the date the relevant stock ownership guidelines were increased, whether through promotion or by revision to the guidelines.

Once an executive leader attains the desired level of share ownership, he or she shall continue to be considered in compliance with these guidelines if the cause of the non-compliance was a decrease in the price of the Company stock, so long as the executive leader retains at least 50% of the net shares acquired upon exercise of stock options and at least 50% of the net shares acquired pursuant to vested restricted stock grants and vested restricted stock unit grants until the executive leader’s holdings of Company stock equals or exceeds the applicable target value. For these purposes, “net shares” means the shares remaining after disposition of shares necessary to pay the related tax liability and, if applicable, the stock option exercise price. In addition to existing Company trading policy requirements, executive leaders shall obtain the approval of the Company General Counsel prior to selling Company stock where their stock ownership is below the Target Value or where the sale would reduce their ownership below the target value. This rule does not apply to dispositions of shares for tax withholding purposes.

The Nominating & Governance Committee periodically reviews these guidelines and recommends revisions to the guidelines to the Board as it deems appropriate. Each NEO was in compliance with these requirements as of February 23, 2022.

Impact on Compensation from Misconduct—Clawbacks

If the Board were to determine that an NEO had engaged in fraudulent or intentional misconduct, it would take action to remedy the misconduct and impose appropriate discipline. Discipline would vary based on the facts and circumstances but may include termination of employment or other appropriate actions.

We retroactively adjust compensation in the event of a restatement of financial or other performance results to the extent required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The EIP provides for repayment or forfeiture of awards under specified circumstances if the Company, as a result of misconduct, is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. Any awards earned or accrued during the twelve-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurred) of the financial document that failed to materially comply with a financial reporting requirement must be paid back to the Company. To the extent that the affected award was deferred under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by the Company rather than paid to the executive officer, the deferred amount (and any earnings from it) must be forfeited. Our equity award agreements provide that awards are subject to any compensation recovery policy adopted by us, as amended from time to time.

Golden Parachute Payment Mitigation

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the NEOs may become entitled to payments and benefits that could constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G (“Section 280G”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To mitigate the potential impact of Section 280G on the Company and the NEOs, on December 20, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the acceleration into December 2021 of the following compensation items with respect to the Company's NEOs: (i) the payment of the portion of the 2021 annual bonuses under the EIP that would have otherwise been paid in the first quarter of 2022 to each NEO at 100% performance level (as noted above, the percentage payout earned under the EIP for 2021 as certified by the Compensation Committee was 100%), and (ii) the immediate vesting of time-based restricted stock unit awards scheduled to vest in the first quarter of 2022 and the 2019 rTSR Awards at the 150% level (as noted above, based on the Company’s rTSR ranking in the 97th percentile, the vesting level for the 2019 rTSR Awards would have been at 150.0%). Because each of the NEO’s remained employed through the scheduled vesting date for these awards and the amount of payment or vesting, as applicable, was consistent with the relevant performance level, the action by the Compensation Committee simply accelerated into December 2021 the amounts that the NEOs would have otherwise been entitled to receive in the first quarter of 2022.

Notes

The discussion of performance targets in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis section is exclusively in the context of executive compensation, and you should not use these targets for any other purpose or regard them as an indication of management’s expectations of future results.

References to “bonuses” are to performance-based payments as reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Long-Term Incentives

The long-term equity awards were granted pursuant to the Stock Compensation Plan, a summary of which is set forth above under the heading, “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – 2021 Compensation – Equity-Based Awards.” In general, time-based restricted stock unit awards vest ratably over three years based on continued employment for eligible officers.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION IN 2021

The following table sets forth information relating to the SRSP.

The NEOs may defer up to 50% of their base compensation (excluding bonuses) and up to 100% of their annual bonuses into the SRSP.

A company match is made to the SRSP after the maximum company match has been made under the 401(k) Plan. The deferrals and match are allocated to the fund(s) under the SRSP as selected by the participant.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

In general, “eligible compensation” for purposes of the SRSP is the amount reported as wages on a participant’s Form W-2, (A) increased by (i) amounts contributed by the participant to the 401(k) Plan and the SPX FLOW Flexible Spending Account Plans, and (ii) vacation and holiday pay paid after termination of employment; and (B) decreased by (i) reimbursements or other expense allowances, (ii) fringe benefits (cash and non-cash), (iii) moving expenses, (iv) welfare benefits (provided that short-term disability payments are included and long-term disability payments are excluded), (v) employer-provided mileage reimbursements for which no documentation is required, taxable and non-taxable tuition reimbursements and the taxable value of physical examinations and group term life insurance coverage in excess of $50,000, (vi) pay in lieu of notice, (vii) deferred compensation, (viii) the value of restricted shares and other equity awards, and (ix) severance pay received after termination of employment.

All matching contributions into the 401(k) Plan and SRSP are made in cash and invested according to the participant’s elections. All participant and matching contributions vest immediately. The SRSP is unfunded and earnings are credited on account balances based on participant direction within the same investment choices available in the 401(k) Plan. All returns in the SRSP and the 401(k) Plan are at market rates. In-service distributions are not allowed under the SRSP. In accordance with the rules set forth under the SRSP, participants generally elect the form and timing of payment of their SRSP deferral account prior to the years in which such amounts are deferred. All amounts deferred under the SRSP after 2009 and before 2016 will be paid in a lump sum payment six months following termination of employment. Beginning with 2016, participants may elect to receive their amounts deferred in 2016 and later in either a lump sum or five annual installments, six months following employment termination.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL

We have entered into agreements, including an employment agreement for our President and Chief Executive Officer, and a change-in-control agreement and stock plan award agreements with each of the NEOs, governing compensation in the event of a termination of employment or a change in control of our company. The following tables set forth the expected benefit to be received by each NEO pursuant to these agreements in the event of his termination resulting from various scenarios, assuming a termination date of December 31, 2021 and a stock price of $86.48, our closing stock price on the NYSE on December 31, 2021. Assumptions and explanations of the numbers set forth in the table below are set forth in the footnotes to, and in the additional text following, the table.

ASSUMPTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS OF NUMBERS IN TABLES

The Compensation Committee retains discretion to provide, and in the past has provided, additional benefits to executive officers upon termination or resignation if it determines the circumstances so warrant.

Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreements

As a condition to each executive officer’s entitlement to receive the base salary amounts and equity award acceleration referenced in the applicable tables, the executive is required to execute a waiver of claims against us and shall be bound by the terms of a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, which prohibits the executive from soliciting or diverting any customer, potential customer, employee or potential employee or competing with any of our businesses in which the executive has been employed for a period of one year from the date of termination.

Key Manager Life Insurance Benefits

Because portions of these benefits are self-insured, we calculate and maintain liabilities for these programs under appropriate accounting standards. Generally, the assumptions and methods used for financial reporting were also used in determining the values in this disclosure (discount rates, mortality, etc.).

Payments upon a Termination in Connection with a Change in Control

The NEOs will be entitled to certain benefits as described in the applicable tables if they are terminated within, for Mr. Michael, 36 months, and for Messrs. Easley, Jeffers, Eamigh and Ryan, 24 months, following a change in control for a reason other than death, disability, retirement or termination for cause or if employment is terminated by the NEO other than for good reason.

For purposes of the change-in-control severance agreements, a change in control included the acquisition by any person (or group of related persons) of 25% or more of the voting power of our securities (including in an exchange or tender offer), or (1) liquidation of SPX FLOW, (2) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, (3) a merger or consolidation (except where our stockholders prior to the time of merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 75% of the voting power of the new or surviving entity), or (4) a change in the majority of our Board of Directors within a two-year period without the approval of the incumbent Board.

The column setting forth payments upon a change in control assumes that the NEO’s employment was terminated following the change in control.

RISK ANALYSIS

The Compensation Committee regularly monitors and reviews our compensation programs and risk management as an integral part of its program design and review.

The primary incentive compensation arrangements, one or both of which apply to the majority of personnel worldwide, are the Stock Compensation Plan and the EIP. These plans cover the employees we believe would most likely be in a position to create a material risk to our company.

The Compensation Committee does not believe our compensation policies and practices give rise to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company. In reaching this conclusion, we considered the following factors:

•Our compensation program is designed to provide a mix of both fixed and variable incentive compensation.

•The variable (cash incentive and performance-based equity awards) portions of compensation are designed to reward both annual performance (under both programs) and longer-term performance (under performance-based equity awards). We believe this design mitigates incentives for short-term risk-taking that could be detrimental to our company’s long-term best interests.

•A significant percentage of our senior executives’ incentive compensation is based on the performance of our total company. This is designed to mitigate incentives to pursue strategies that might maximize the performance of a single operating division to the detriment of our company as a whole.

•Our senior executives are subject to stock ownership guidelines, which we believe incentivize our executives to consider the long-term interests of our company and our stockholders and discourage excessive risk-taking that could negatively impact our stock price.

•Our incentive compensation program is designed with payout curves that are relatively smooth and seek to minimize steep payout “cliffs” that might encourage short-term business decisions in order to meet a payout threshold.

•A qualitative risk assessment concluded that our plans do not have an unreasonable ratio between fixed and variable compensation. The bonus plans are capped at specified maximum percentages, which limit incentives to undertake excessive risk.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

•The executive and management bonus plans also have forfeiture provisions relating to any fraud, manipulation or negligence in connection with computation of performance measures or payments under the plans.

•All of the incentive plans are determined primarily by a formula, rather than manager discretion.

•In addition to the structure of our plans, we mitigate any risk that may be generated by compensation plans through management oversight, compliance training and enforcement, and audits.

No single SPX FLOW business unit carries a significant portion of the Company’s risk profile, or has compensation structured significantly differently than other units within the Company, regardless of relative business unit profitability or compensation expense as a percentage of revenues.

The Compensation Committee does not believe that any of the design features of our compensation arrangements pose a significant concern.

CEO PAY RATIO

Pursuant to a mandate of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the SEC has adopted a rule requiring annual disclosure of the ratio (the “CEO Pay Ratio”) of the total annual compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael, to the total annual compensation of the employee of our company and its subsidiaries who is determined to have the median compensation of, generally, all such employees (excluding our Chief Executive Officer). The rule also requires annual disclosure of this median employee’s total compensation for the year and our Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation for the year. Our CEO Pay Ratio has been calculated in compliance with the requirements set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K of the SEC.

SEC rules require a company to identify the median-compensated employee only once every three years, absent changes to the employee population or employee compensation arrangements during that period that would reasonably affect the pay ratio. Because there were no such material changes since we undertook to identify the median-compensated employee for determination of the ratio in 2020, we elected to use the same employee for calculating the 2021 ratio.

For the 2020 calculation, we identified the median-compensated employee using our global employee population as of October 31, 2020. This included all global full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal employees who were active on that date. Although we had approximately 4,800 employees in 35 countries around the world, we did not exclude any employees from our calculation (other than, as required by the rule, our Chief Executive Officer).

We used a consistently applied compensation measure (“CACM”) across our global employee population to determine the median-compensated employee. The CACM that we used was base pay plus bonus. For our employees who are paid a salary, base pay was equal to their annual salary and allowances paid from November 1, 2019 to October 31, 2020 (the “Calculation Period”). For our employees who are paid an hourly rate, base pay was equal to total annual hourly wages, including overtime and allowances, paid during the Calculation Period. We did not perform any full-time equivalency adjustments for part-time workers and we did not apply a cost-of-living adjustment. We did, however, annualize pay for full-time employees who were hired after November 1, 2019 and remained actively employed on October 31, 2020. For both salaried and hourly workers, bonus referred to bonus payments received during the Calculation Period in connection with applicable annual cash incentive plans. The majority of our employees received a bonus payment during the Calculation Period.

Using the median-compensated employee that we previously identified, we calculated the median-compensated employee’s total compensation for 2021 in the same manner as reported for the CEO in the Summary Compensation Table in this Form 10-K/A. The total compensation for the median-compensated employee was $70,750 using the Summary Compensation Table methodology. Our Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation was $7,142,941 using the same methodology during the same period. Accordingly, our CEO Pay Ratio for 2021 is 101:1.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-K INDEX (CONTINUED)

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median-compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices, the amount of compensation of the median-compensated employee and the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to our estimates reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

ITEM 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The following table shows how much of our common stock our directors and executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table, and all directors and executive officers as a group beneficially owned as of March 31, 2022.

Beneficial ownership is a technical term broadly defined by the SEC to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. In general, beneficial ownership includes any shares a director or executive officer can vote or transfer and stock options or other rights to receive common stock, such as restricted stock units, that are exercisable currently or become exercisable or vest within 60 days. The number of our shares beneficially owned by each of the named executive officers and by all directors and executive officers as a group includes shares held in the SPX FLOW Retirement Savings Plan. Except as otherwise noted, the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power for all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

The percent of SPX FLOW common stock owned is based on 42,115,741 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2022.

ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that a substantial majority of the Board meet the independence requirements of the listing standards of the NYSE. Our Board reviews annually whether each of our directors is independent. The Board has adopted categorical Independence Standards to help guide it in this process. Our Independence Standards are available on our website (http://investor.spxflow.com). Members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee must meet all applicable independence tests of the NYSE and SEC. Based on its most recent annual review, the Board has concluded that Mr. Abulaban, Ms. Altman, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Hull, Mr. Pratt, Ms. Roberts, Ms. Rowland and Mr. Singer are independent as defined in our Independence Standards and the listing standards of the NYSE. The Board concluded that Mr. Michael, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is not independent as defined in our Independence Standards and the listing standards of the NYSE.

The non-employee members of the Board meet in executive session without management at least at every regularly scheduled Board meeting. In addition, the non-employee members of the Board meet in executive session with the CEO and such other management as the Board deems appropriate on a regular basis. Meetings of independent directors are chaired by the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Hull.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to its charter and a written related-party policy, the Audit Committee is charged with reviewing and approving any related-party transactions. A related-party transaction is a transaction involving SPX FLOW and any of the following persons: a director, director nominee or executive officer of SPX FLOW or an immediate family member or person sharing the household of any of these persons; a holder of more than 5% of SPX FLOW common stock; and certain other parties with relationships with SPX FLOW. When considering a transaction, the Audit Committee is required to review all relevant factors, including whether the transaction is in the best interest of our company, our company’s rationale for entering into the transaction, alternatives to the transaction, whether the transaction is on terms at least as fair to our company as would be the case were the transaction entered into with an unrelated third party, potential for an actual or apparent conflict of interest, and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. Our legal staff is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of procedures and controls to obtain information for our directors and executive officers relating to related party transactions and then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether we or a related party has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. In the course of the Board’s determination regarding the independence of each of the non-employee directors, the Nominating Committee and Audit Committee considered any relevant transactions, relationships or arrangements. No member of our Board or management was aware of any transactions that would be required to be disclosed in this section.

ITEM 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) has been our independent public accountants since our spin-off from SPX Corporation in September 2015. The Audit Committee has approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche to perform the audits of the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting included in SPX FLOW’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

During fiscal years 2021 and 2020, we engaged Deloitte & Touche to perform services in the following categories and amounts:


	2021 ($)	2020 ($)
Audit Fees (1)	2,537,000	2,772,000
Audit-Related Fees (2)	40,000	25,000
Tax Fees (3)	982,000	982,000
All Other Fees	N/A	N/A

(1)Fees for audit services billed or expected to be billed relate to (i) audit of our annual financial statements, (ii) review of our quarterly financial statements, (iii) statutory and regulatory audits and (iv) consents and other services related to SEC matters.

(2)Fees for audit-related services include attest or audit services that are not required.

(3)Fees for tax services principally relate to tax compliance and preparation, including the preparation of original and amended tax returns, claims for refunds, and tax payment planning. We also incurred fees for tax consulting and advisory services and services related to transfer pricing.

Our Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires all audit and non-audit services performed by Deloitte & Touche be pre-approved. The Audit Committee annually approves the fees and expenses for audit services performed by Deloitte & Touche, as well as for any regularly recurring non-audit services of the type covered by our annual engagement of Deloitte & Touche. In addition, our pre-approval policy requires pre-approval by the chairman of the Audit Committee of fees and expenses for other non-audit services that may arise during the year. The policy requires the chairman to report any non-audit services that he has pre-approved to the Audit Committee at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Committee. In no event may Deloitte & Touche perform any of the following services for us: (1) bookkeeping or other services related to our accounting records or financial statements; (2) financial information systems design and implementation; (3) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (4) actuarial services; (5) internal audit outsourcing services; (6) management functions or human resources services; (7) broker-dealer, investment advisor or investment banking services; (8) legal services; or (9) expert services. The Audit Committee regularly considers whether specific projects or expenditures could potentially affect Deloitte & Touche’s independence. All of the fees for audit, audit-related, tax and other services performed by Deloitte & Touche were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policies and procedures described in this paragraph.
