On December 12, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Atkore Inc. (the “Company”) temporarily increased the number of directors of the Company from nine directors to ten directors and elected B. Joanne Edwards to fill the vacancy resulting from the newly-created directorship, in each case effective February 1, 2023. The size of the board will automatically return to nine directors upon the next retirement or resignation of any member of the Board.

Ms. Edwards will hold office for an initial term expiring at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024.

Ms. Edwards will receive the director compensation described in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 13, 2022. The Company also expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Edwards. The form of indemnification agreement is an exhibit on the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 18, 2022. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Edwards and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Edwards was selected as a director. There are no related party transactions reportable under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K and Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K other than the previously disclosed indemnification arrangements entered into by the Company and each of its directors.

The Company’s press release announcing Ms. Edwards’ election is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
