NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

June 4, 2021

It is my pleasure to invite you to attend APi Group Corporation’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meeting will be held on July 14, 2021, at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time). The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual-only format and information on the reasons for utilizing this format, as well as how to attend and vote at the meeting, are described below. At the meeting, you will be asked to:

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2021 may vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting.

We thoughtfully considered whether to schedule the Annual Meeting utilizing an in-person or virtual format. Among other factors, we reviewed the likely timing of rollout and implementation of vaccination programs at the state and federal level and the impact such programs will have on the availability and desirability of travel in the summer of 2021, as well as implications for adequate meeting space. In addition, we considered the accessibility of both in-person and virtual meetings for our stockholders more broadly and reviewed the efficacy of our 2020 Annual Meeting, held virtually. We also considered the merits of announcing an in-person meeting with notice that we might move to a virtual format if circumstances merited such a move. Our conclusion was that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to conduct the 2021 Annual Meeting virtually and that announcing the virtual format with the filing of the proxy statement allows the greatest participation in our Annual Meeting by reducing uncertainty about how to participate. We have designed the format of the 2021 Annual Meeting to provide stockholders the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would have at an in-person meeting. We will continue to monitor best practices in connection with the use of technology as an adjunct to, or modality for, the conduct of Annual Meetings in determining the format for future stockholder meetings.

It is important that your shares be represented at the 2021 Annual Meeting, regardless of the number of shares you may hold. Whether or not you plan to attend, please vote using the Internet, by telephone or by mail, in each case by following the instructions in our proxy statement. This will not prevent you from voting your shares in person if you are present virtually at the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

Russell A. Becker

Chief Executive Officer

We have elected to use the “Notice and Access” method of providing our proxy materials over the internet. Accordingly, we mailed a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement and annual report on or about June 4, 2021.

PROXY STATEMENT

PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JULY 14, 2021

You are receiving this proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), the accompanying proxy card or other voting instruction card (the “Proxy Card”) and our annual report to stockholders (the “Annual Report”) because you own shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) or shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) of APi Group Corporation (the “Company,” “our,” “we” or “us”) that entitle you to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”). Our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) is soliciting proxies from stockholders entitled to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting. By use of the enclosed Proxy Card, you can vote even if you do not attend the 2021 Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement describes the matters on which you are being asked to vote and provides information on those matters so that you can make an informed decision. These proxy materials are being distributed and/or made available to stockholders on or about June 4, 2021.

Date, Time and Place of the 2021 Annual Meeting

We will hold the 2021 Annual Meeting on July 14, 2021, at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) in virtual format.

Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on May 17, 2021 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting. Each stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock held as of the Record Date on all matters to come before the 2021 Annual Meeting and may vote in person virtually at the meeting, via Internet or telephone or by proxy authorized in writing, except as qualified below.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT VOTING AT THE

2021 ANNUAL MEETING AND RELATED MATTERS

If your shares are held by a bank or broker, the bank or broker is the stockholder of record. You are the “beneficial owner” (and hold your shares in “street name”) and the bank or broker is your “nominee.”

If you hold shares as a participant in the (1) APi Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)¹, (2) APi Group 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan, (3) APi Group Safe Harbor 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan, and/or (4) the Vipond Inc. Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan (collectively, “employee benefit plans”), the plan trustee of the applicable plan is the stockholder of record and your nominee.

1

Beneficial Owners: If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” a proxy card has been forwarded to you by your broker or other nominee. You have the right to direct your broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares by following the instructions on the proxy card, which generally provides four ways to vote:

A legal proxy is a written document that will authorize you to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting virtually as a “Stockholder” and to vote your shares held in “street name” at the 2021 Annual Meeting. Please see the information below for information on obtaining a legal proxy. If you attend the 2021 Annual Meeting as a Stockholder, you can follow the online instructions to vote your shares during the 2021 Annual Meeting.

If you vote on the Internet or by telephone, you do not need to return your proxy card. Internet and telephone voting for stockholders will be available 24 hours a day. Even if you plan to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Participants in the employee benefit plans:

PROXY SUMMARY

Annual Meeting

Voting Matters and Board Recommendations

Overview and 2020 Financial Highlights

We are a market-leading business services provider of safety, specialty and industrial services in over 200 locations, primarily in North America and with an expanding platform in Europe. We provide statutorily mandated and other contracted services to a strong base of long-standing customers across multiple industries. We have a winning leadership culture driven by entrepreneurial business leader to deliver innovative solutions to our customers.

We focus on growing our recurring revenue and repeat business from our diversified long-standing customers across a variety of end markets, which provides us with stable cash flows and a platform for organic growth. Maintenance and service revenues are generally more predictable through contractual arrangements with typical terms ranging from days to three years, with the majority having durations of less than six months and are often recurring due to consistent renewal rates and long-standing customer relationships.

We were incorporated on September 18, 2017 with limited liability under the laws of the British Virgin Islands under the name J2 Acquisition Limited (“J2”). J2 was created for the purpose of acquiring a target company or business. On October 1, 2019, we completed our acquisition of APi Group, Inc. (the “APi Acquisition”) and changed our name to APi Group Corporation in connection with the APi Acquisition. On April 28, 2020, we changed our jurisdiction of incorporation from the British Virgin Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”) and our shares became listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In the financial information provided below, APi Group, Inc. financial information as of and for the periods prior to the APi Acquisition date are referred to as “Predecessor” and financial information including APi Group, Inc. from the APi Acquisition date is referred to as “Successor.”

A summary of the 2020 Financial Highlights are as follows:

Board and Governance Highlights

We are committed to principles of effective corporate governance and to high ethical standards, as well as compliance with all applicable governance standards of the SEC and NYSE. Highlights of the framework we have established for governance are outlined here, and further described below.

9

Executive Compensation Highlights

Since becoming a US issuer listed on the NYSE in April 2020, the Compensation Committee has developed a formalized executive compensation program, consistent with its compensation philosophy and market and peer based practices. Fundamentally, this program is designed to assure that the Company’s compensation policies attract and retain the key employees necessary to support the Company’s growth and success, both operationally and strategically, and to motivate executives to contribute to the achievement of the Company’s short- and long-term goals with the ultimate objective of creating sustainable improvements in stockholder value. The following briefly describes our compensation program implemented in 2021, which is fully outlined below in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Policies that Promote Sustainable Stockholder Value Creation

10

Focus on Risk Management

Rigor in Goal Setting

As discussed in detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” in 2020 the Compensation Committee maintained a flexible approach to compensation for our executive officers for reasons relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company’s continued transition and integration following the APi Acquisition. During 2020, executive officer base salaries were reduced once the wide ranging macroeconomic impacts of the pandemic began to emerge as part of a comprehensive approach to tightly align expense with the pandemic’s impacts. In some cases, these reductions were dramatic. They continued until the impact of the pandemic on the Company was better understood and were not fully restored until November of 2020. Based on the financial results achieved for 2020 and other factors outlined in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the executive officers were awarded annual incentives at target amounts, where applicable, and consistent with historical practice for those without contractually enumerated targets. In addition, in 2021 a one-time stock award was made to three executive officers whose base compensation in 2020 had been dramatically reduced, beyond the level incurred generally by senior management level employees.

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Under our bylaws, directors are elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board of Directors has nominated Sir Martin E. Franklin, James E. Lillie, Ian G.H. Ashken, Russell A. Becker, Anthony E. Malkin, Thomas V. Milroy, Lord Paul Myners, Cyrus D. Walker and Carrie A. Wheeler for re-election, each for a one-year term that will expire at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each of our directors consented to serve if elected.

Our bylaws provide that directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the nominee for election to the Board of Directors at any meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected and a quorum is present, except in the case of a contested election. As set forth in our bylaws, “a majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a nominee for election to the Board of Directors exceeds the votes cast “against” such nominee and shall not include abstentions. In the event of a contested election, in accordance with our bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

We believe that each of our directors possesses the experience, skills and qualities to fully perform his or her duties as a director and contribute to our success. Our directors were nominated because we believe each is of high ethical character, highly accomplished in his or her field with superior credentials and recognition, has a reputation, both personal and professional, that is consistent with our image and reputation, has the ability to exercise sound business judgment, and is able to dedicate sufficient time to fulfilling his or her obligations as a director. Our directors as a group complement each other and each of their respective experiences, skills and qualities so that collectively the Board operates in an effective, collegial and responsive manner. Each director’s principal occupation and other pertinent information about particular experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the Board to conclude that such person should serve as a director, appears on the following pages.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Meetings

During 2020, the Board of Directors held a total of 5 meetings. Each incumbent director attended at least seventy five percent (75%) of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board during the period for which he or she was a director and (ii) the total number of meetings of all Board committees (the “Committees”) on which he or she served during the period for which he or she was a director. Three directors attended the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. It is the policy of the Board of Directors to encourage its members to attend our annual meeting of stockholders.

During 2020 our Board generally held executive sessions, or meetings of non-employee directors without management present, as part of regularly scheduled Board, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meetings. In March 2020, the Company appointed Thomas V. Milroy as its lead independent director and he presides over executive sessions of the Board. Messrs. Ashken, Milroy and Lord Myners generally presided over the executive sessions of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees, respectively.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the management of our Company. Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Governance Guidelines”), which set forth our governance principles and policies relating to, among other things:

Our Governance Guidelines are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.apigroupcorp.com.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board has not adopted a formal policy regarding the need to separate or combine the offices of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chair of the Board and instead the Board remains free to make this determination from time to time in a manner that seems most appropriate for the Company. Although the Board recognizes the benefits of having a combined Chair and CEO, currently, we separate the positions of our CEO and Co-Chairs of the Board in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Co-Chairs of the Board provide strategic guidance to the CEO and set the agenda for and preside over the Board meetings. In addition, we believe that the current separation provides a more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of the CEO’s performance. The separation also allows the Co-Chairs of the Board to strengthen the Board’s independent oversight of our performance and governance standards.

Director Independence

Upon the listing of our Common Stock on the NYSE, the composition of the Board and its Committees became subject to the independence requirements set forth under the NYSE corporate governance listing

17

standards as well as the Governance Guidelines which have been adopted by the Board. Under the NYSE governance standards, a director qualifies as independent if the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us. While the focus of the inquiry is independence from management, the Board is required to broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination. In making each of these independence determinations, the Board has considered all of the information provided by each director in response to detailed inquiries concerning his or her independence and any direct or indirect business, family, employment, transactional or other relationship or affiliation of such director with us. Specifically, Mr. Malkin currently serves as an executive officer of a company that has in the past procured services from one or more Company subsidiaries. We reviewed these commercial relationships and found that all transactions between us and the relevant companies were made in the ordinary course of business and negotiated at arms’ length. Furthermore, these commercial relationships were below the threshold set forth in the NYSE governance standards (i.e., two percent of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues for such year or $1 million, whichever is greater). As a result, our Board determined that these commercial relationships did not impair Mr. Malkin’s independence.

Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, and after considering the transactions described above, the Board has affirmatively determined that each of Lord Myners, Messrs. Ashken, Lillie, Milroy, Malkin and Walker and Ms. Wheeler are “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE governance standards. Because Sir Martin owns the entity which receives advisory fees from us, he is not independent under NYSE governance standards. As CEO of the Company, Mr. Becker is also not independent.

Board Committees

Our Board has three standing Committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Copies of the committee charters setting forth the responsibilities of the Committees are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.apigroupcorp.com, and such information is also available in print to any stockholder who requests it through our Investor Relations department. The Committees will periodically review their respective charters and recommend any needed revisions to the Board. The following is a summary of the composition of each Committee:

Audit Committee

Number of Meetings in 2020: Four

Responsibilities. Our Audit Committee operates pursuant to a formal charter that governs the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

18

The Audit Committee has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and to retain counsel for this purpose where appropriate. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent accountant.

Independence and Financial Expertise. The Board has reviewed the background, experience and independence of the Audit Committee members and based on this review, has determined that each member of the Audit Committee:

In addition, the Board has determined that each of Mr. Ashken and Ms. Wheeler qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules.

Compensation Committee

Number of Meetings in 2020: Two

Responsibilities. Our Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a formal charter that governs the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

19

Independence. The Board has reviewed the background, experience and independence of the Compensation Committee members and based on this review, has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee:

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. None of the members of the Compensation Committee who presently serve or, in the past year, have served on the Compensation Committee has interlocking relationships as defined by the SEC or had any relationships requiring disclosure by the Company under the SEC’s rules requiring disclosure of certain relationships and related party transactions.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.

Use of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain compensation consultants, outside counsel and other advisors as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The Compensation Committee has sole authority to approve related fees and retention terms.

During 2020, the Compensation Committee utilized the services of Willis Tower Watson (“WTW”), a global management consulting firm, which acted as its compensation consultant to assist in developing a formal executive compensation program, which has been implemented for 2021. The total fees paid to WTW for these services were approximately $158,000.

During 2020, our management also retained a separate business unit of WTW to provide insurance brokerage services to the Company. The total fees paid to WTW’s separate business unit with respect to services provided during 2020 (excluding services provided as compensation consultant as discussed above) were approximately $1.3 million. The Compensation Committee was not involved in management’s decision to retain the separate business unit of WTW to provide such services.

The Compensation Committee determined that the work of the separate business unit of WTW on matters other than executive compensation did not raise any conflict of interest with WTW’s services as compensation consultant, taking into account, among other factors, WTW’s policies and procedures relating to the prevention and mitigation of conflicts of interest, the use of separate teams for compensation consulting services and other services provided by WTW and its business units.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Number of Meetings in 2020: One

Responsibilities. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a formal charter that governs the responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Pursuant to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

20

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may, when it deems appropriate, delegate certain of its responsibilities to one or more Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members or subcommittees.

Independence. The Board has reviewed the background, experience and independence of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members and based on this review, has determined that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the independence requirements of the NYSE governance standards and SEC rules and regulations.

Consideration of Director Nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers possible candidates for nominees for directors from many sources, including stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the suitability of potential candidates nominated by stockholders in the same manner as other candidates recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

In making nominations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is required to submit candidates who have the highest personal and professional integrity, who have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment and who shall be most effective, in conjunction with the other nominees to the Board, in collectively serving the long-term interests of the stockholders. In evaluating nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is required to take into consideration the following attributes, which are desirable for a member of the Board: leadership, independence, interpersonal skills, financial acumen, business experiences, industry knowledge and diversity of viewpoints. In addition, while we do not have a formal, written diversity policy, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will attempt to select candidates who will assist in making the Board a diverse body. We believe that a diverse group of directors brings a broader range of experiences to the Board and generates a greater volume of ideas and perspectives, and therefore, is in a better position to make complex decisions.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code of Conduct”) that establishes the standards of ethical conduct applicable to all our directors, officers, and employees. In addition, we have adopted a written Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers (“Code of Ethics”) applicable to our CEO and senior financial officers. Copies of our Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics are publicly available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.apigroupcorp.com. Any waiver of our Code of Ethics with respect to our CEO, chief financial officer, controller or persons performing similar functions or waiver of our Code of Conduct with respect to our directors or executive officers may only be authorized by our Board of Directors and will be disclosed on our website as promptly as practicable, as may be required under applicable SEC and NYSE rules.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Since January 1, 2020, we did not enter into any related party transactions other than as set forth below.

21

Advisory Services Agreement

On October 1, 2019, we entered into an Advisory Services Agreement with Mariposa Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Sir Martin. Under this agreement, Mariposa Capital, LLC agreed to provide certain services, including corporate development and advisory services, advisory services with respect to mergers and acquisitions, investor relations services, strategic planning advisory services, capital expenditure allocation advisory services, strategic treasury advisory services and such other services relating to the Company as may from time to time be mutually agreed. In connection with these services, Mariposa Capital, LLC is entitled to receive an annual fee equal to $4,000,000, payable in quarterly installments. The initial term of this agreement was through October 1, 2020 and has been and will in the future be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its intention not to renew this agreement no later than 90 days prior to the expiration of the term. This agreement may only be terminated by the Company upon a vote of a majority of our directors. In the event that this agreement is terminated by the Company, the effective date of the termination will be six months following the expiration of the initial term or a renewal term, as the case may be.

Registration Rights

The Company has agreed to provide Sir Martin, Mr. Lillie, Mr. Ashken and the Mariposa Acquisition IV, LLC with certain registration rights that require the Company to provide them with such information and assistance following the APi Acquisition, subject to certain restrictions and customary exceptions, as they may reasonably request to enable it to effect a disposition of all or part of their Common Stock or warrants, including, without limitation, the preparation, qualification and approval of a prospectus in respect of such Common Stock or warrants.

In connection with an early warrant exercise financing (the “Warrant Financing”), each of Mariposa Acquisition IV, LLC and certain entities managed by Viking Global Investors LP (the “Viking Opportunities Fund”) that beneficially owned more than 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, irrevocably committed to exercise their respective APi Group Corporation warrants. In exchange for such commitment, the Company agreed, among other things, that when requested by written notice (delivered not earlier than three months following the APi Acquisition), the Company would use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly enter into a customary registration rights agreement with such entity, which agreement would provide for customary registration rights (subject to customary exceptions) with respect to the Common Stock, or any other equity interests later acquired by such entity in exchange for the Common Stock in connection with a recapitalization, redomiciliation or similar transaction.

Pursuant to the foregoing agreement, on March 24, 2020, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Viking Global Opportunities Liquid Portfolio Sub-Master LP (“Viking”), the beneficial owner of approximately 19.7% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. Those shares were acquired by Viking in our initial public offering and the Warrant Financing. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed that, subject to certain terms and conditions, (i) on or promptly after the one year anniversary of our becoming subject to the SEC reporting company requirements, we will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the Common Stock held by the Viking Opportunities Fund and use our commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after its filing (but no later than 60 days after filing) and (ii) if we propose to register any of our Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in certain excluded registrations), we will register all of the shares that the Viking Opportunities Fund requests to be included in such registration (subject to customary cutbacks if the underwriters determine that less than all of the shares requested to be registered can be included in such offering). On May 12, 2021, we filed a registration statement to register the resale of such Common Stock and on May 21, 2021, such registration statement was declared effective by the SEC.

In addition, we agreed, among other things to, (i) make and keep available adequate current public information (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144); (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to

22

file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of us under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after we have become subject to such reporting requirements); (iii) furnish certain information as may be requested by Viking as to our compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (iv) cooperate with Viking’s reasonable requests to facilitate any proposed sale of shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, by providing opinions of counsel, to the extent required.

The registration rights agreement contains customary indemnities. Our obligations under the registration rights agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) such time as all of the shares that may be registered under the agreement have been sold and (b) such time as all of such shares may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a single transaction without limitation under Rule 144.

Commercial Relationships

During 2020, we, through certain of our subsidiaries, provided fire safety and dust mitigation services to Royal Oak Enterprises, LLC (“ROE”), a manufacturer and distributor of charcoal, fire logs and related products, in the ordinary course of business and on arm’s length terms. As consideration for our services, we received aggregate revenue of approximately $335,267 from ROE. Our Co-Chair, Sir Martin E. Franklin, is the chairman and controlling shareholder of ROE.

Policy Concerning Related Party Transactions

The Board of Directors has determined that the Audit Committee is best suited to review and approve or ratify transactions with related persons, in accordance with the policy set forth in the Audit Committee Charter. Such review will apply to any material transaction or series of related transactions or any material amendment to any such transaction involving a related person and the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of the policy, “related persons” will consist of executive officers, directors, director nominees, any stockholder beneficially owning more than 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock, and immediate family members of any such persons. In reviewing related person transactions, the Audit Committee will take into account all factors that it deems appropriate, 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 person’s interest in the transaction. No member of the Audit Committee will be permitted to participate in any review, consideration or approval of any related person transaction in which the director or any of his or her immediate family members is the related person.

Board Role in Risk Management

The Board is actively involved in the oversight and management of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through Committees of the Board, as disclosed in the descriptions of each of the Committees above and in the charters of each of the Committees, but the full Board has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our policies and procedures with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The other Committees of the Board consider the risks within their areas of responsibility. The Board satisfies their oversight responsibility through full reports by each Committee chair regarding the Committee’s considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Insider Trading Policy, which is applicable to all employees (including officers) and directors of the Company, makes clear that no employee or director may engage in hedging transactions or any other forms of monetization transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities granted as compensation, or held directly or indirectly by the employee or director.

23

Director Compensation

Our non-employee director compensation policy provides for the following compensation for our non-employee directors:

In addition, all of our directors are entitled to be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable expenses incurred by them in the course of their directors’ duties relating to the Company.

Lord Myners and Messrs. Ashken, Milroy, Malkin and Walker and Ms. Wheeler will be paid compensation for their respective services on our Board. Sir Martin will not receive any additional compensation for services as a director in light of his affiliation with Mariposa Capital, LLC, which provides advisory services to the Company in exchange for a fee. In addition, Mr. Becker, who serves as our CEO, is not entitled to receive any additional compensation for his services as a director. Mr. Lillie has elected to waive all compensation for service as a director.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Overview

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides information regarding our executive compensation philosophy, programs and decisions for 2020 for our named executive officers. For 2020, our named executive officers were:

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our Compensation Committee’s guiding principle when reviewing and determining executive compensation is to assure that the Company’s compensation policies attract and retain the key employees necessary to support the Company’s growth and success, both operationally and strategically, and to motivate executives to achieve short- and long-term goals with the ultimate objective of creating sustainable improvements in stockholder value.

Because we had no executive officers prior to the APi Acquisition, we did not have or maintain an executive compensation program until the APi Acquisition. During 2020, the Compensation Committee retained WTW as its compensation consultant, and with their assistance, developed a formal executive compensation program which has been implemented for 2021. This program is designed to further the Company’s compensation philosophy and objectives of maintaining a top-tier management team and seeks to ensure that:

Overview of 2020 Performance

Our operational and financial performance in 2020 was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our management moved quickly to stabilize the business and develop the Company’s response to the pandemic. The extraordinary efforts of the entire APi team allowed the Company to continue serving our customers, support our employees and business partners and position us to execute as we move into 2021.

Driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a year-over-year net revenue decline of 12.3%. The decline was driven by the negative impact from the sale of two industrial services businesses that accounted for $91 million of revenue in 2020 compared to $290 million of revenue in 2019. In addition, COVID-19 negatively impacted revenue in 2020 resulting from access restrictions to buildings and project sites and our customers delaying or cancelling projects due to the uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 on their businesses. Reported net loss was $153 million, compared to a net loss of $153 million in the prior year

27

(Successor) and net income of $86 million in the period from January 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019 (Predecessor). The net loss in 2020 was primarily driven by a $197 million impairment charge related to goodwill and intangible assets, higher depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the mark-up of certain depreciable and intangible assets associated with the APi Acquisition, and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net income as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 was (4.3%) compared to (15.5%) for the 2019 Successor period and 2.8% in the 2019 Predecessor period. The change in 2020 was primarily attributable to improvements in gross margin resulting from a combination of a focus on project selection, targeted price improvements, project efficiencies and a favorable mix of services. Net cash provided by operating activities was $496 million, up $201 million from $150 million and $145 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the prior year (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively, driven by the decline in revenues which changed in the mix and timing of demand for our services and working capital requirements. More specifically, a decrease in outstanding accounts receivable from rigorous collection efforts and a reduction in contract assets from a focused effort to improve the timeliness of invoicing, drove significant improvement in operating cash flow.

Management remained focused on our strategic priorities and driving margin expansion through our efforts to improve our mix of recurring service revenue, establishing a rigorous and disciplined project and customer selection process, driving organic growth through attracting new customers and increasing work from repeat customers, increasing demand for services, utilizing technology platforms to drive business process improvements, and executing on strategic M&A activities. Despite the negative impact from the pandemic, we made significant progress on these strategic priorities during 2020 as evidenced by our margin expansion and strong free cash flow.

Compensation Governance Practices

Our executive compensation governance practices are intended to support the needs of the business, drive performance, and ensure management alignment with the short- and long-term interests of our stockholders. Selected key policies embedded in our new executive compensation program are set forth below:

28

Executive Compensation Setting Process

Review of the Compensation Committee

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written Compensation Committee Charter that governs the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

When making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee analyzes data relating to our Peer Group (as identified below in “Peer Group and Market Benchmarking”) and considers the dynamics of operating in the safety services, specialty services and industrial services industries, the importance of rewarding and retaining talented and experienced executives to continue to guide the Company, the alignment of our executive compensation program with stockholders’ interests and the voting guidelines of certain proxy advisory firms and stockholders. In reviewing and determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also considers: compensation levels at peer companies and information derived from compensation surveys provided by outside consultants; the Company’s past-year performance and growth; the results of any say on pay votes by stockholders; achievement of specific pre-established financial goals; a subjective determination of the executives’ past performance and expected future contributions to the Company; and past equity awards granted to such executives. In addition, in connection with the 2021 executive compensation program design, the Committee received analyses, guidance and recommendations, including information on executive compensation market trends and practices of peer companies, provided by WTW.

Consideration of the Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

As part of its decision making on compensation, the Compensation Committee evaluates the most recent advisory vote of the Company’s stockholders on executive compensation, known as the “Say-on-Pay” vote, as well as other feedback that it may receive from the Company’s largest shareholders in connection with this vote.

At our annual meeting on August 13, 2020, our executive compensation for 2019 received the support of approximately 93% of the votes cast on the “Say-on-Pay” proposal. We understand that our stockholders support an executive compensation program the majority of which is based on the achievement of performance objectives. In establishing our 2021 executive compensation program, this perspective was reviewed and considered by the Compensation Committee, in combination with the other information outlined herein. As further described below, 80% of our 2021 annual awards to our named executive officers are performance-based and the Compensation Committee expects that future equity awards will have a significant component that is performance-based. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the views of our stockholders in connection with executive pay practices and programs and will make adjustments based on evolving best practices, competitive market information and practices, and changing regulatory or other requirements.

Peer Group and Market Benchmarking

As part of the work in 2020 to develop an executive compensation program for 2021, the Compensation Committee identified a representative peer group in the same or similar industries that the Compensation Committee believes is representative of the labor market from which we recruit talent. Factors used to select the

29

peer group included industry segment, revenues, profitability, market capitalization, number of employees, capital structure and a qualitative review of potential companies’ business fundamentals to ensure alignment with our company. Several companies were identified whose business models more closely align with the Company, but which have a larger revenue base. The approach taken by the Compensation Committee in selecting the primary peer group excluded these larger companies from the market data review but included them as “reference peers” for the purpose of providing qualitative data about program design for the Committee’s reference. The primary peer group is composed of the following companies: ADT, Inc.; Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc.; Cintas Corporation; Comfort Systems USA, Inc.; Dycom Industries, Inc.; EMCOR Group, Inc.; Flowserve Corporation; MasTec, Inc.; MYR Group, Inc.; Otis Worldwide Corporation; Primoris Services Corporation; Quanta Services, Inc.; Residio Technologies, Inc.; SPX Corporation; Tutor Perini Corporation; Watts Water Technologies, Inc., and; Xylem Inc. The reference peer group is composed of the following companies: Johnson Controls International PLC; Carrier Global Corporation, and; Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. In addition to current market trends, the Compensation Committee will consider the primary peer group to inform pay decisions and both the primary and reference peer groups to inform executive compensation program design.

The Compensation Committee expects to continue to utilize outside compensation and benefits consultants from time to time to assist the Compensation Committee in designing management pay, compensation design and other related matters. The information from any outside consultant regarding pay practices at peer companies will be used by the Compensation Committee as a resource in its deliberations regarding executive compensation and will be useful in determining the marketplace competitiveness as well as reasonableness and appropriateness of our executive compensation programs. Although at this time we do not intend to target executive compensation to a specific market percentile, we intend to provide a compensation package that is competitive in the market and rewards each executive’s performance for executing the strategic and financial goals of the Company for the long term benefit of our stockholders.

Role of Executives in Establishing Compensation

We expect our CEO to evaluate the individual performance and the competitive pay positioning of senior management members who report directly to the CEO, including the named executive officers. Our CEO can then make recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the target compensation, job leveling and grading for such named executive officers and other executive officers of the Company.

Components of the Executive Compensation Program

In connection with the APi Acquisition, our Board of Directors approved executive employment agreements for Messrs. Becker and Lydon and an offer of employment for each of Ms. Fike and Mr. Grunau (collectively, the “Employment Agreements”) which provide for a base salary, annual cash incentive compensation, annual time- and performance-based equity incentive awards (each, an “LTI Award”) and participation in our employee benefits plans.

The Company’s 2020 executive compensation program contained three primary components: Base Salary; Annual Incentive Compensation, and Long-Term Equity Compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that a combination of these components provides the named executive officers with a competitive executive compensation package that serves to motivate and retain the executive while promoting the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy. The 2020 executive compensation program was a continuation of the post-APi Acquisition compensation program, pending the implementation of program design changes adopted in connection with the work and recommendations of the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, WTW, in 2021. As outlined in greater detail below, the Compensation Committee determined to implement these program changes in 2021 rather than in 2020, due to the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, including the need to minimize the management distraction that would result from implementing compensation program changes during the midst of the pandemic.

30

In the first quarter of 2021, the Compensation Committee approved, and the Company implemented, a 2021 executive compensation program. As with the 2020 program, the 2021 executive compensation program is intended to attract and retain a high caliber of executive talent, align incentives with stockholder’s interests, and support the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy. From time to time, the Compensation Committee may also approve discretionary awards to executives in connection with their initial employment or for extraordinary performance, a significant contribution to the Company’s strategic objectives or other retention or business purposes.

The following table summarizes the primary components of the 2021 executive compensation program:

31

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee believes base salary, in combination with health, welfare and retirement benefits, serves to attract and retain high-quality executives needed to lead our complex business by providing basic compensation and financial stability. The Compensation Committee expects to annually review the named executive officers’ base salaries and make appropriate adjustments subject to the terms of any individual employment agreements. Any adjustments will be based on individual responsibilities and performance, internal pay equity, compensation history, executive potential and peer group and market based data.

During 2020, none of our named executive officers received any increase in base salary. Moreover, due to the uncertainties presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s management team took early preemptive cost-containment measures, including the voluntary reduction of named executive officer base salaries. These reductions were effective on March 16, 2020 and ranged from 20% to 97%, with the reduction for our CEO at 97%. These reductions continued for a minimum of 4 months, at which time the base salaries for Messrs. Lydon, Chepey and Polovitz and Ms. Fike were incrementally returned to their original levels over three months’ time. The base salaries for Messrs. Becker and Grunau stayed at fully reduced levels until mid-November, when they were fully restored. Prior to these reductions, the base salaries of our named executive officers were: Mr. Becker—$1.25 million; Mr. Lydon—$825,000; Mr. Grunau—$340,000; Mr. Chepey—$300,000; Ms. Fike—$350,000; and, Mr. Polovitz—$275,000. In February 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries for our named executive officers and determined that base salaries for Messrs. Becker, Lydon and Grunau would remain unchanged. Base salary for Ms. Fike was set at $400,000.

In addition, in 2021 the Committee reviewed the overall company performance and determined that, in light of the financial performance achieved, the outsized base pay reductions taken by certain named executives reflected a diminution in annual compensation that was not merited based on actual company performance and which far exceed the general pay reduction of 20% or less for other employees. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee awarded a one-time stock grant to each named executive officer whose pay reduction exceed 20% of base salary, in the amount of the difference between the actual pay reductions and a 20% pay reduction. The value of the one-time stock grants were: Mr. Becker—$700,246; Mr. Lydon—$186,667; and Mr. Grunau—$173,250.

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation

2020 Annual Incentive

In 2020, the Compensation Committee reviewed the numerous significant circumstances facing the Company, each of which could have a material impact on the Company’s results. These included:

32

In light of these circumstances, the Compensation Committee chose to maintain a flexible approach to annual incentive compensation in 2020 and not to establish financial or other performance goals to determine 2020 incentives at a time when the pandemic and its impacts were emerging. Nevertheless, the Committee continued its ongoing review of the Company’s executive compensation program during 2020 with a goal of establishing a more formal executive compensation program for 2021, while temporarily maintaining this flexible approach to annual incentive compensation.

Consistent with this approach, in the first quarter 2021, the Committee examined the totality of the results delivered by the organization. As part of this review the Committee examined the financial and strategic results the Company had achieved during 2020, including progress on key business initiatives. In addition, however, given the extraordinary impacts of COVID-19 on economies and businesses, the Committee also focused on the effectiveness of the Company’s executives’ efforts to mitigate the impact of COVID-19. This included consideration of the rapid and proactive moves that the Company’s executives took to closely align expenses to demand, as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic emerged; the continual surveillance of these impacts and shifts in expense and demand side strategies in response to changes in impacts; the proactive and material (and in some cases dramatic) voluntary reductions in salary taken by the executive team; the proactive and comprehensive work to monitor federal, state and local developments in governmental orders and recommendations governing the conduct of essential work during various waves of the pandemic; and the vigilance to ensure that the Company maintained a sharp focus on the safety and wellbeing of its employees. The Compensation Committee’s view was that the executive team drove significant financial, strategic and operational achievement despite the negative economic impacts of COVID-19 in the Company’s markets; the incremental costs required to operate under state and local COVID-19 quarantines; and the diversion of management attention required to address the new operating conditions created by COVID-19. The Committee determined that the 2020 performance of the executive team demonstrated exemplary leadership and management skill under very difficult conditions. Based on this conclusion, the Committee awarded 100% of the cash incentive target opportunity established in Messrs. Becker’s and Lydon’s respective employment agreements, in the amounts of $1,250,000 and $825,000, respectively and Messrs. Chepey, Grunau, and Polovitz and Ms. Fike received annual cash incentives of $200,000, $300,000, $211,437, and $160,000, respectively.

2021 Annual Incentive

Consistent with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, and to promote alignment with stockholders’ interests, the 2021 executive compensation program is based on Company performance. Under this program, Company executives have annual cash incentive targets represented by a percentage of their base salary. Cash incentives awarded will be determined by the Compensation Committee, based on the achievement of annual performance goals, developed in the annual budget process and approved by the Compensation Committee.

For 2021, all our named executive officers (other than Mr. Chepey who left the Company in February 2021 and Mr. Polovitz who is no longer an executive officer of the Company) will be eligible for an annual cash incentive opportunity as outlined below, based on the achievement of a performance goal tied to the Company’s annual adjusted EBITDA performance.

33

Amounts payable under the annual incentive portion of the executive compensation plan will be subject to threshold (25% of target) and maximum (125%-200% of target) payouts for achievement of the performance goal at threshold and max levels, respectively. The premium payouts levels are: Messrs. Becker, Lydon, and Ms. Fike—200%; and Mr. Grunau – 125%. If performance is achieved between the threshold level and target or between the target and maximum level, the amount of the annual incentive payment with respect to that metric will be calculated on a linear basis from the target level.

LTI Awards

LTI Awards granted by the Compensation Committee are intended to align the financial interests of our executives with those of the stockholders of the Company. We believe that stockholders’ interests are best served by balancing the focus of executives’ decisions between short and long-term measures. We also believe that providing executives with opportunities to acquire significant stakes in the Company’s growth incentivizes and rewards executives for sound business decisions and high-performance team environments, while fostering the accomplishment of short- and long-term strategic objectives and improvement in stockholder value, all of which are essential to our ongoing success. We expect our executive officers and other key management personnel to be and remain stockholders in the Company.

LTI Awards are granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our Board of Directors effective as of October 1, 2019 in connection with the closing of the APi Acquisition, or such other long-term incentive plans, programs and arrangements established and modified from time to time by the Compensation Committee. We expect any LTI Awards will be granted in the form of stock options, restricted stock units, performance shares or other forms of equity or long-term incentive as determined by the Compensation Committee and on terms to be specified by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our Equity Incentive Plan and any other long-term incentive plan, program and/or arrangements applicable to senior-level executives as established and modified from time to time by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion.

2020 Equity Awards

On January 1, 2020, Messrs. Chepey and Polovitz were granted 19,510 and 24,390 restricted stock units, respectively, which vest in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Additionally, Ms. Fike was granted 24,390 restricted stock units when she joined the Company in January 2020, which vest in equal installments on January 1, 2021, 2022 and 2023. These grants were made as part of the integration activities related to the APi Acquisition. No additional grants were made to the named executive officers in 2020.

2021 LTIP

The Compensation Committee has adopted a 2021 executive compensation program, including provisions relating to the award of LTI grants. The Compensation Committee believes that named executive officer long-term compensation should be correlated with salary and short term incentive compensation. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee will use a percentage of each named executive officer’s base salary to determine the value of the LTI award to be granted each named executive officer each year. The Compensation Committee also believes that the structure of LTI grants should correlate the value of any such award to the achievement by the Company of long-term and strategic objectives. As such, the Compensation Committee expects that a significant percentage of the amount of LTI awards will be subject to the achievement of three-year Company performance goals. Time-based awards may be awarded as part of a balanced approach to encourage retention and ensure that the Company’s compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk-taking.

Pursuant to the newly adopted executive compensation program, on February 15, 2021 the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a mix of performance stock units and restricted stock units to the named

34

executive officers. The restricted stock units represent 20% of the total target award amount and will vest ratably over three years, from the date of grant. The performance stock units represent 80% of the total target award amount, assuming performance and vesting at target levels. The performance stock units will vest at threshold or target levels of 25% or 100%, respectively, if the applicable performance goal is met at the corresponding threshold or target level. In the event the performance goal is met at the maximum level, a premium factor of 125% to 200% will apply. The performance goal is an adjusted EBITDA margin goal and the achievement of the goal will be determined by the Compensation Committee following the three year performance period of January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023. In addition, an adjusted consolidated net revenue performance goal must be met at the end of the three year performance period for any performance stock units to be earned at the end of the performance period. The awards granted to the named executive officers are as follows:

The premium factor to be applied to the award to Messrs. Becker, Lydon, and Ms. Fike is 200%; and the premium factor to be applied to the award to Mr. Grunau is 125%. Each of the above performance stock unit awards represents the target grant amount; actual shares earned at vesting, if any, may be higher or lower depending on the level of performance achieved.

Benefits and Other Perquisites

We provide employees, including the named executive officers, with a range of employee benefits including life and health insurance, disability benefits and retirement benefits (as described below), that are designed to assist in attracting and retaining skilled employees critical to our long-term success, provide basic financial stability, and to be competitive with market practice.

Profit Sharing & 401(k) Plan

Most of our domestic employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s tax-qualified Profit Sharing & 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, employees may elect to contribute a portion of their current compensation to the 401(k) Plan, in an amount up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. The 401(k) Plan provides the option for the Company to make matching contributions. Participants may also direct the investment of their 401(k) Plan accounts into several investment alternatives.

Other Benefits and Perquisites

We also provide each of our named executive officers with an executive term life insurance policy which provides a death benefit of $550,000 and an executive disability insurance policy which covers up to 75% of their base salary. In addition, we provide certain of our named executive officers with a car allowance.

Company matching contributions and cash profit sharing contributions allocated to named executive officers under the 401(k) Plan, premiums paid by the Company on the life and disability insurance policies on behalf of named executive officers and amounts paid by the Company for the car allowance for named executive officers are shown in the “All Other Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal 2019 in the “Executive Compensation” section.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Most of our domestic employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Sales of shares of our Common Stock under the ESPP

35

are generally made pursuant to offerings that are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP permits employees of the Company, including our named executive officers, to purchase Common Stock at a discount equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the market value of the Common Stock on the first day of the offering period, or (ii) the market value of the Common Stock on the purchase date, whichever is lower. Participants are subject to eligibility requirements and may not purchase more than 500 shares in any offering period or more than $10,000 of Common Stock in a year under the ESPP.

Other Compensation-Related Practices and Policies

Change in Control

The Employment Agreements (other than Ms. Fike’s) provide that if an executive is terminated either without “cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreements) or terminates their employment for “good reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreements) during the two-year period immediately following a “change in control” (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), they shall be entitled to certain payments and benefits. See the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section below. We believe such change in control provisions serve the best interests of the Company and our stockholders by allowing our executives to exercise sound business judgement without fear of significant economic loss in the event they lose their employment with the Company as a result of a change in control. We also believe that such arrangements are competitive, reasonable and necessary to attract and retain key executives.

Severance

The Employment Agreements provide that if an executive is involuntarily terminated without “cause” or terminates their employment for “good reason,” they shall be entitled to all previously earned and accrued but unpaid amounts of their base salary up to their termination date. Subject to certain conditions, such an executive will also be entitled to severance pay as set forth in their Employment Agreement and described under the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section below.

Clawback Policy

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (known as the “Dodd-Frank Act”), enacted in July 2010, required stock exchanges to adopt rules requiring listed companies to develop and implement a policy for recovery (i.e., clawback) of incentive-based compensation from executive officers in the event of the restatement of previously published financial statements resulting from a material accounting error, material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements or violations of U.S. securities laws. These rules have not yet been adopted.

The Equity Incentive Plan includes a clawback policy which allows the Company to recoup compensation, including any equity awards issued thereunder under certain circumstances, affording the Company significant flexibility to require recoupment in appropriate circumstances. The Compensation Committee will review, amend or adopt a clawback policy as necessary to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Stock Vested During 2020

The following table provides information regarding vesting of restricted stock units and the value realized on vesting of restricted stock units on an aggregated basis during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for each of the named executive officers.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our Employment Agreements with Messrs. Becker, Lydon and Grunau and Ms. Fike (each an “Executive,” and collectively “Executives”) provide for severance payments under certain circumstances. Under these Employment Agreements, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time with or without “cause,” as defined in the Employment Agreements, and Executive may terminate employment at any time for “good reason,” as defined in the applicable Employment Agreements. With respect to Messrs. Becker and Lydon, if the Company should terminate Executive without cause or if Executive terminates employment for good reason, Executive would be entitled to receive (i) his base salary for two years from the date of termination, (ii) an amount equal to two times his target annual bonus, paid in two annual installments, (iii) any earned and accrued but unpaid base salary up to the date of termination, (iv) his pro-rata annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, (v) any unpaid annual bonus with respect to any completed fiscal year and (vi) his vested employee benefits. Executive would not be entitled to any unearned salary, bonus or other benefits if the Company were to terminate him for cause or if Executive were to terminate employment voluntarily without good reason. With respect to Mr. Grunau, if the Company should terminate Executive without cause, he would be entitled to receive an amount equal to two times his annual base salary, payable in equal installments over a 24-month period. With respect to Ms. Fike, if the Company should terminate Executive without cause, she would be entitled to receive an amount equal to her annual base salary, payable in equal installments over a 12-month period.

With respect to Messrs. Becker and Lydon, pursuant to his Employment Agreement, if the Company should terminate Executive without cause or if Executive terminates employment for good reason during the two-year period immediately following a “change in control,” as defined in the Employment Agreements, then in lieu of any amounts otherwise payable, Executive would be entitled to receive (i) all earned and accrued but unpaid base salary and annual bonus amounts up to the date of termination, (ii) an amount equal to two times his base salary, (iii) an amount equal to two times his target annual bonus, (iv) continued insurance coverage for eighteen months following the date of termination, (v) full and immediate vesting of all outstanding long-term incentive awards, (vi) reasonable legal fees and related expenses as a result of the termination and (vii) outplacement counseling.

Upon a change in control, each Executive will be entitled to the benefit resulting from the acceleration of his or her unvested restricted stock units upon a change in control as provided in his or her restricted stock unit agreement, whether or not his or her employment is terminated.

41

With respect to Messrs. Becker and Lydon, pursuant to his Employment Agreement, if employment should terminate as a result of the death or disability of the Executive, the Executive, or his estate, would be entitled to receive (i) all previously earned and accrued but unpaid base salary up to the date of termination and (ii) his pro-rata annual bonus for the year in which termination occurs. The Company’s obligation under the Employment Agreements with Executives terminates on the last day of the month in which Executive’s death occurs or on the date of termination of employment on account of Executive’s disability.

Mr. Chepey’s employment with the Company terminated in February 2021. In connection with his termination, the Company entered into an Executive Severance Agreement with Mr. Chepey pursuant to which Mr. Chepey will be entitled to (1) a severance payment equal to $300,000, less applicable withholdings and deductions, payable over a twelve-month period, (2) payment of his 2020 annual cash incentive in the amount of $200,000 and (3) payment of COBRA premiums for continued coverage under APi Group’s health plans for twelve months. In consideration for such benefits, Mr. Chepey has agreed to various restrictive covenants, including non-solicitation of employees or other business partners for two years post-termination and confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants as well as a release of claims in favor of APi Group. As a result of his termination, the 13,006 restricted stock units that had not vested as of the effective date of termination were forfeited per the terms of the award.

Mr. Polovitz is not entitled to any severance or related benefits upon termination. Upon a change in control, Mr. Polovitz would be entitled to receive the benefit resulting from the acceleration of his unvested restricted stock units as provided in his restricted stock unit agreements.

The following table shows the estimated benefits payable to each Executive in the event of termination of employment and/or change in control of the Company. The amounts shown assume that a termination of employment or a change in control occurs on December 31, 2020. The amounts do not include payments or benefits provided under insurance or other plans that are generally available to all full-time employees.

42

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Becker. In 2019, to identify our median employee and calculate such employee’s annual total compensation, we used the following methodology:

Based on this methodology, we identified the median employee. As of December 31, 2020, this employee was employed in the same capacity. As part of our efforts to contain costs during the pandemic, our median employee had a 20% reduction in wage for a four month period, after which the employee’s pre-pandemic wage rate was restored. This, combined with fewer hours worked in 2020 at both regular and overtime rates, resulted in a year-over-year decline in the median employee’s annual total compensation. We believe there were no significant changes in our employee population and, accordingly, we reasonably believe that there have been no changes that would significantly affect our pay ratio disclosure. Therefore, to determine our pay ratio for 2020, we used the same median employee identified in 2019.

We then calculated the 2020 total annual compensation of such median employee in accordance with the requirements of the executive compensation rules for the Summary Compensation Table (Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K). Under this calculation, the median employee’s annual total compensation was $60,272.00.

Utilizing the same executive compensation rules, and consistent with the amount reported in the “Total” Column of our Summary Compensation Table for 2020 above for our CEO, the annual total compensation of our CEO was $1,742,994. The resulting ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total

43

compensation of the median employee was 29 to 1. This ratio represents a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on the methodology described above.

We understand that the CEO pay ratio disclosure is intended to provide greater transparency to annual CEO pay and how it compares to the pay of the median employee. As reported in the bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2019, Mr. Becker received a $2,500,000 one-time transaction bonus in 2019 connection with the closing of the APi Acquisition and a $3,756,461 bonus in 2019 relating to a bonus arrangement with APi Group, Inc. that was terminated upon the closing of the APi Acquisition. We attribute the substantial decrease in the CEO pay ratio in 2020 as compared to 2019 to the inclusion of these payments in Mr. Becker’s annual total compensation for 2019, combined with the fact that no equity award was made to Mr. Becker during 2020 and further combined with the reduction in Mr. Becker’s base salary during 2020, as discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section. During 2021, we anticipate the year-over-year comparison of the CEO pay ratio will reflect more normalized compensation for Mr. Becker as well as the one-time stock award granted in 2021, as also discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.

The SEC rules for identifying the median 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 employee populations and 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 have different employee populations and compensation practices, and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

This information is being provided in response to SEC disclosure requirements. Neither the Compensation Committee nor management of the Company uses the pay ratio measure in making any compensation decisions.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP

The following table sets forth certain information regarding (i) all stockholders known by the Company to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock and (ii) each director, each named executive officer and all directors and executive officers as a group, together with the approximate percentages of issued and outstanding Common Stock owned by each of them. Percentages are calculated based upon shares issued and outstanding plus shares which the holder has the right to acquire under share options, restricted stock units, warrants or Series A Preferred Stock exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts are as of May 17, 2021, and each of the stockholders has sole voting and investment power with respect to the Common Stock beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable. As of May 17, 2021, we had 201,282,227 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

PROPOSAL 2—APPROVE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Act requires us to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, often referred to as “Say on Pay.”

The core of our executive compensation philosophy is to assure that the Company’s compensation policies attract and retain the key employees necessary to support the Company’s growth and success, both operationally and strategically, and to motivate executives to achieve short- and long-term goals with the ultimate objective of creating sustainable improvements in stockholder value.

In deciding how to cast their vote on this proposal, stockholders should consider the significant work performed during 2020 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic to develop a new executive compensation program for application in 2021; the efforts of the management team during 2020 to meet the challenges of the pandemic; and the disciplined approach of the Compensation Committee in determining the final compensation outcomes for the named executive officers only after the final results of the Company’s financial, operational, and strategic performance had been determined. Embedded in the compensation decisions for 2020 and the 2021 executive compensation program is the core philosophy that our executive compensation should be linked to achievement of financial and operating performance metrics that drive stockholder value over both the short- and long-term. We have designed our compensation program to focus on the Company’s strategic objectives, value drivers and priorities. As such, through our executive compensation program we seek to ensure that:

Stockholders’ vote on this proposal is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. The vote will not be construed to create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of the Company or the Board, or to create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for the Company or the Board. However, we value the opinions of our stockholders and, accordingly, the Board and the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of this advisory vote in connection with future executive compensation decisions.

For reasons set forth above, the Board recommends that you vote for the compensation paid to the named executive officers in 2020.

Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote on the following resolution at the 2021 Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers in 2020, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related narrative disclosure, is hereby approved.”

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN 2020.

PROPOSAL 3—RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR 2021 FISCAL YEAR

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed KPMG to continue to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2021 fiscal year. We engaged KPMG as our new independent registered public accounting firm as of November 14, 2019.

In the event our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, such appointment may be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. Ratification of the appointment of KPMG to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2021 fiscal year will in no way limit the Audit Committee’s authority to terminate or otherwise change the engagement of KPMG for the 2021 fiscal year. We expect representatives of KPMG to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting virtually.

Fees Billed to the Company by its Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms

The following table presents fees billed for audit and other services rendered by KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (United Kingdom) (“PWC”) in 2020 and 2019:

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures for Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee requires that it preapprove all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by its independent auditor, subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. Either the Chair of the Audit Committee acting alone or the other two members acting jointly may grant preapprovals of audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that decisions of such subcommittee to grant preapprovals shall be presented to the full Audit Committee or the Board of Directors at its next scheduled meeting.

Consistent with these policies and procedures, the Audit Committee has approved all of the services rendered by KPMG during fiscal year 2020, as described above.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements, financial reporting process and internal controls over financial reporting. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and evaluating the effectiveness of internal controls and issuing reports thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to select the independent auditors and monitor and oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company, including the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and the audits of the financial statements of the Company.

During 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Audit Committee regularly met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors. In the discussions related to the Company’s financial statements for

51

fiscal year 2020, management represented to the Audit Committee that such financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditors the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2020 and management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors those matters required to be discussed by the auditors with the Audit Committee under the applicable rules adopted by the PCAOB and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee received from the independent auditors the written disclosures and letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors that firm’s independence. In connection with this discussion, the Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of services by the independent auditors not related to the audit of the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2020 is compatible with maintaining the independent auditors’ independence. The Audit Committee’s policy requires that the Audit Committee approve any audit or permitted non-audit service proposed to be performed by its independent auditors in advance of the performance of such service.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent auditors and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the written disclosures and letter of the independent auditors provided to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 be included in the Company’s Annual Report.

See the portion of this Proxy Statement titled “Corporate Governance—Board Committees” for information on the Audit Committee’s meetings in 2020.

The Company’s bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure with regard to director nominations and stockholder proposals that are not submitted for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement, but that a stockholder instead wishes to present directly at an annual meeting. To be properly brought before our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a notice of the director nomination or the matter the stockholder wishes to present at the meeting complying with the Company’s bylaws must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal office in New Brighton, MN (see above), not less than 90 or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting, except that if the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, such notice must be delivered not earlier than 120 days prior to such anniversary date or the 10^th day following our public announcement of the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As a result, and assuming that the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is not more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after the first anniversary of the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting, any notice given by or on behalf of a stockholder pursuant to these provisions of the Company’s bylaws (and not pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14a-8) must be delivered no earlier than February 14, 2022, and no later than March 16, 2022. All director nominations and stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of the Company’s bylaws, a copy of which may be obtained at no cost from the Corporate Secretary of the Company.

Other than the items of business described in this Proxy Statement, the Company does not expect any matters to be presented for a vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders on the Proxy Card will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting. If, for any unforeseen reason, any one or more of the Company’s nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors or the chair of the Annual Meeting may refuse to allow the transaction of any business or the consideration of any director nomination not made in compliance with the Company’s bylaws.

List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting

The names of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting will be available at the Company’s principal office in New Brighton, MN, for a period of ten (10) days prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting and continuing through the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Expenses Relating to this Proxy Solicitation

This proxy solicitation is being made by the Company and we will pay all expenses relating to this proxy solicitation.

reimburse our transfer agent, banks, brokers and other persons for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of our Common Stock and obtaining the proxies of those owners. We have engaged Georgeson LLC (“Georgeson”) as our proxy solicitor at an anticipated cost of approximately $11,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees for optional services.
