Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 20, 2024, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Ingersoll Rand Inc. (the “Company”) granted the below equity awards to Vikram Kini, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Michael Weatherred, the Company’s Senior Vice President, IR Execution Excellence (IRX) and Business Excellence. After conducting a comprehensive mid-year review of the total compensation of the Company’s named executive officers in coordination with the Company’s independent compensation consultant, the Committee approved the grants to ensure that total compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers was market competitive.

The additional grants are intended to supplement the previously reported 2024 annual long-term incentive awards granted to the Company’s named executive officers, pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended), with the same terms and conditions. The Company’s long-term incentive awards are intended to drive executives to deliver strong stock performance, align the Company’s executives’ compensation with long-term value creation, and to attract and retain highly qualified executives. The Committee expects to incorporate the value of these supplemental market awards into the annual grants to Mr. Kini and Mr. Weatherred in future award cycles.

The Committee approved the following grants pursuant to the Company’s standard forms of award agreements as follows:

•

Mr. Kini: (i) 3,591 restricted stock units (RSUs) and (ii) 8,694 stock options; and

•

Mr. Weatherred: (i) 3,867 RSUs and (ii) 9,363 stock options.

The RSUs and stock options vest in four equal annual installments beginning on August 20, 2025. Each RSU will vest into one share of the Company’s common stock and each vested stock option will be exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $90.50, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 20, 2024.
