You may vote on the following proposals:

•

the recommendation, by non-binding vote, of the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation (commonly known as a “say-on-frequency” proposal) (“Proposal 4”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Who may vote?

Stockholders of record of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“common stock”), at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive the Notice and these proxy materials and to vote their respective shares at the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter that is properly brought before the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, ~~105,849,524~~107,010,712 shares of common stock were outstanding.

How do I vote?

We have elected to provide access to proxy materials over the Internet under the SEC’s “notice and access” rules to reduce the environmental impact and cost of the Annual Meeting. However, if you prefer to receive paper copies of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice.

Stockholders of Record

If your common stock is registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, ~~American Stock Transfer &~~Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are considered a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to vote by proxy.

You may authorize your proxy in any of the following ~~three~~two ways:

Internet. Go to www.voteproxy.com to use the Internet to transmit your voting instructions and for electronic delivery of information. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the website.

~~Phone.~~ ~~Call 800-776-9437 (800-PROXIES) or 1-718-921-8500 from foreign countries using any touch-tone telephone to transmit your voting instructions. Have your proxy card in hand when you call.~~

Mail. Mark, sign and date your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided, or return it to ~~American Stock Transfer &~~Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, ~~6201 15~~th ~~Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.~~Attn: Proxy Tabulation Department, 55 Challenger Rd, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660.

Authorizing your proxy by any of these methods will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. However, for those who will not be voting in person at the Annual Meeting, your final voting instructions must be received by no later than 11:59 P.M. ETEastern Time, on May ~~10, 2022.~~7, 2024.

Beneficial Owners

Most of our stockholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee, rather than directly in their own names. If you hold your shares in one of these ways, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”, and the Notice is being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote. Your broker, bank or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction form for you to use in directing the broker, bank or nominee on how to vote your shares. Unless you provide specific voting instructions, your brokerage firm will only have the discretion to vote shares it holds on your behalf with respect to Proposal 2 (the ratification of EY as independent auditors for our ~~2022~~2024 fiscal year), but not with respect to Proposal 1 (the election of ~~three~~eleven directors), ~~and~~ Proposal 3 (the say-on-pay proposal), and Proposal 4 (the say-on-frequency proposal) as more fully described under “What is a broker ‘non-vote’?” below.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. If you are the stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy before it is exercised by doing any of the following:

•

sending a letter to us stating that your proxy is revoked;

•

signing a new proxy and sending it to us; or

•

attending the Annual Meeting and voting by ballot.

Beneficial owners should contact their broker, bank or nominee for instructions on changing their votes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A “quorum” is necessary to hold the Annual Meeting. A quorum is a majority in voting power of the ~~votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders~~issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. They may be present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are not counted as votes cast either “FOR” or “AGAINST” a given proposal, but are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

How many votes are needed to approve the proposals?

The following table sets forth the voting requirements with respect to each of the proposals at the Annual Meeting:

	Proposal	Vote Required
1	The election of ~~three~~eleven directors	A “FOR” vote by a majority of votes cast
2	The ratification of EY as independent auditors for our ~~2022~~2024 fiscal year	A “FOR” vote by a majority of votes cast
3	The Say-On-Pay Proposal	A “FOR” vote by a majority of votes cast
4	The Say-On-Frequency Proposal	A “FOR” vote by a majority of votes cast

A “FOR” vote by a “majority of votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “FOR” exceeds the number of shares voted “AGAINST.”

How can I submit questions relating to the Annual Meeting?

Stockholders may submit questions relating to Annual Meeting matters by sending an email our Investor Relations department at InvestorRelations@flooranddecor.com with ~~“2022~~“2024 Annual Meeting” in the subject line. Only questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints. Questions regarding other matters, including those related to employment, product or service issues, or suggestions for product innovations, are not pertinent to meeting matters and therefore will not be answered. Questions that are substantially similar may be grouped and answered together to avoid repetition.

How can I access the list of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Access to the list of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for any purpose germane to the meeting will be available ~~beginning~~for ten days ~~prior to~~ending on May 7, 2024, the day before the meeting, by emailing InvestorRelations@flooranddecor.com with “Annual Meeting Stockholder List” in the subject line. Stockholders submitting any such request must include their control number.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

The Company will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the completion of the meeting.

What is an abstention?

An abstention is a properly signed proxy card that is marked “abstain.” Abstentions do not constitute votes “FOR” or votes “AGAINST.”

What is a broker “non-vote?”

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and do not provide the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, such organization

TABLE OF CONTENTS

will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is commonly referred to as a broker “non-vote.”

The election of directors (Proposal 1) ~~and~~, the say-on-pay proposal (Proposal 3) and the say-on-frequency proposal (Proposal 4) are matters considered non-routine under applicable rules. A broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote without your instructions on non-routine matters. For your vote to be counted in the above proposals, you will need to communicate your voting decisions to your broker, bank or other nominee before the date of the meeting using the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee.

Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors (Proposal 1), the say-on-pay proposal (Proposal 3) or the ~~say on pay~~say-on-frequency proposal (Proposal 3)4).

The ratification of the appointment of EY as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December ~~29, 2022~~26, 2024 (Proposal 2) is a matter considered routine under applicable rules. A broker, bank or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters.

Will any other matters be acted on at the Annual Meeting?

If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the persons named in the proxy will have discretion to vote on those matters. As of ~~February 11, 2022,~~November 21, 2023, the date by which any proposal for consideration at the Annual Meeting submitted by a stockholder must have been received by us to be presented at the Annual Meeting, and as of the date of these proxy materials, we did not know of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited in person or by telephone or other means by our directors or associates. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other nominees, custodians and fiduciaries for costs incurred by them in mailing these proxy materials to the beneficial owners of common stock held of record by such persons.

Whom should I contact with other questions?

If you have additional questions about these proxy materials or the Annual Meeting, please contact: Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc., 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway, SE, Atlanta, GA 30339, Attention: David V. Christopherson, Telephone: (404) 471-1634.

The Board is currently comprised of ~~11 directors. At~~eleven directors, Norman Axelrod, William Giles, Dwight James, Melissa Kersey, Ryan Marshall, Peter Starrett, Richard Sullivan, Thomas Taylor, Felicia Thornton, George Vincent West and Charles Young (the “Directors”).

Our Board was previously classified. Pursuant to an amendment to our Charter approved at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders voted to approve an amendment to our Charter that provides for the phased-in declassification of our Board and the annual election of all directors. Specifically, our Charter, as amended, provides that (1) commencing at thebeginning with this Annual Meeting, directors shall be elected annually to serve for a term of one year and (2) any director in office at the Annual Meeting whose term expires at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in calendar year 2023 or calendar year 2024 shall continue to hold office until the end of term of which such director was elected and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. Beginning with the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, the declassification of the Board will be complete and all of our directors will be subject to annual ~~election.~~election and shall continue to hold office until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.

Upon the expiration of the term of a director, the ~~Nominating~~nominating and ~~Corporate Governance Committee~~corporate governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”) will recommend to the Board for its approval a director nominee to be nominated for election for a one-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which the term of such of director expires. Until the Board is completely declassified, any director appointed to the Board to fill a vacancy will hold office for the remaining term of his or her predecessor; thereafter, any director so appointed will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders.

On October 27, 2020, Brad Brutocao, Rachel Lee, and John Roth each resigned from the Board, effective as of January 1, 2021. Mr. Brutocao and Ms. Lee served on the Compensation Committee of the Board, and Mr. Roth and Ms. Lee served on the Nominating Committee of the Board. On October 28, 2020, the Board determined, effective as of the January 1, 2021, to appoint Ryan Marshall, Kamy Scarlett and Charles Young to the Board. On February 10, 2021, Michael Fung, a member of our Board and the chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board, passed away. Effective February 24, 2021, the Board appointed Felicia Thornton, an existing member of the Board, as chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board. On April 8, 2021, the Board determined, effective as of April 15, 2021, to appoint William T. Giles to the Board and to chair the Audit Committee of the Board.

Our directors have a balance of tenure and age, which provides our Board with an effective mix of experience and perspective, as shown in the chart and biographies below:

The terms of all Directors will expire at the Annual Meeting. In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, has nominated each ~~of Kamy Scarlett, Thomas V.

Director Resignation Policy

In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in an uncontested election of directors, any Nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” his or her election will, within five days following the certification of the stockholder vote, tender his or her written resignation to the chairman of the Board for consideration by the Nominating Committee. As used herein, an “uncontested election of directors” is an election in which the number of Nominees is not greater than the number of Board seats open for election. The Nominating Committee will then review the director’s continuation on the Board and recommend to the Board whether the Board should accept such

TABLE OF CONTENTS

tendered resignation. The Board, giving due consideration to the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, will then evaluate the relevant facts and circumstances in connection with such director’s resignation, and make a decision, within 90 days following the certification of the stockholder vote, on whether to accept the tendered resignation.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE ELEVEN NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS.

OTHER BOARD INFORMATION

Board Meetings in ~~2021~~2023

The Board held ~~six~~four meetings during our fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2021~~28, 2023 (“Fiscal ~~2021”~~2023”).

Director Attendance

During Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, each of our directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served that were held during the period he or she served as a director or committee member, as applicable.

We encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. ~~Three~~Ten of our directors who served on the Board in Fiscal ~~2021~~2023 attended our ~~2021~~2023 annual meeting of stockholders.

Director Independence

Our Board has reviewed the independence of our directors and has considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out that director’s responsibilities. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Axelrod, Giles, James, Marshall, Starrett, Sullivan and Young and Mses. ~~Scarlett~~Kersey and Thornton qualifies as an “independent director,” as defined in the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).

Our common stock has been listed for trading on the NYSE under the symbol “FND” since April 27, 2017.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board has no policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. It is the Board’s view that the most effective leadership structure for the Company is for the Board, with the advice and assistance of the Nominating Committee, and upon consideration of all

TABLE OF CONTENTS

relevant factors and circumstances, to determine, as and when appropriate, whether the two offices should be separate, rather than having a rigid policy.

Currently, our leadership structure separates the offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board with Mr. Taylor serving as our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Axelrod as Chairman of the Board. We believe this is appropriate as it provides Mr. Taylor with the ability to focus on our day-to-day operations while Mr. Axelrod focuses on oversight of our Board.

From time to time, and, consistent with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, at least once a year, the Board meets in executive session without members of management present. The Chairman of the Board presides at these executive sessions. Whenever the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director, the Chairman of the Nominating Committee shall act as the presiding independent director and shall preside at meetings of the independent directors or non-management directors.

The procedures by which a particular director is selected to preside at each executive session meeting of the independent or non-management directors of our Board are disclosed in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on the Governance Documents page of the Investors section of our website

The Nominating Committee is responsible for managing risks associated with the independence of the Board. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, our full Board keeps itself regularly informed regarding such risks through committee reports and otherwise.

Board Committees

Our Board has the authority to appoint committees to perform certain management and administration functions. Our Board has the following standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. The composition and responsibilities of each standing committee are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board. The Board has adopted a written charter for each of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee, which are available, along with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, on the Governance Documents page of the Investors section of our website located at ir.FloorandDecor.com. We intend to disclose any amendments to the above documents, or any waivers of their requirements, on our website to the extent required by applicable SEC rules or the rules of the NYSE.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee held ~~five~~four meetings during Fiscal ~~2021.~~2023. The Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Marshall, Sullivan and Giles, who acts as its chair. Our Board determined that each of Messrs. Giles, Marshall, and Sullivan qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, has the attributes set forth in such section and is financially literate, as required by the rules of the NYSE. In addition, our Board has determined that each of Messrs. Giles, Marshall and Sullivan is independent as independence is defined under the rules of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The principal duties and responsibilities of our Audit Committee are as follows:

•

to serve as an independent party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting processes and internal control system;

•

to discuss the audit conducted by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and

•

to provide an open avenue of communication among the independent registered public accounting firm, management and the Board.

The Audit Committee has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties. It also has the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee held ~~two~~three meetings during Fiscal ~~2021.~~2023. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Ms. Kersey, Mr. Starrett ~~Ms. Scarlett~~ and Mr. Axelrod, who acts as its chair.

The principal duties and responsibilities of our Compensation Committee are as follows:

•

Role of Outside Advisors. Pursuant to the charter of the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage independent counsel, accountants, consultants and other advisers as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its duties and responsibilities. As discussed in these proxy materials under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” in Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, our Compensation Committee engaged Korn Ferry to provide analysis related to the competitiveness of our executive and director compensation programs, periodic reviews of our compensation peer group, the presentation of compensation and governance trends to the Compensation Committee, advice with respect to reporting requirements pursuant to the Pay versus Performance rules released by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as mandated by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and other mandates as directed by the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee annually reviews the independence of Korn Ferry as its consultant under applicable SEC and NYSE rules on conflict of interest. Following this review, the Compensation Committee determined that Korn Ferry’s work for us does not raise any conflicts of interest. The Compensation Committee’s evaluation included consideration of all services provided to us, the amount of fees received as a percentage of Korn Ferry’s annual revenue, its policies and procedures designed to prevent conflicts of interest, any business or personal relationships between Korn Ferry and the members of our Compensation Committee or executive officers and any ownership of our stock by the advisors providing executive and director compensation services to us.

Compensation Risk Assessment.

In Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, Korn Ferry supported management and the Compensation Committee in conducting their risk assessment of our incentive compensation plans and practices. As a result of this analysis as well

TABLE OF CONTENTS

as their regular review of compensation policies and practices, management has concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and agrees with management’s conclusion.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee held ~~four~~two meetings during Fiscal ~~2021.~~2023. The Nominating Committee is comprised of Messrs. Young and ~~Starrett~~James and Ms. Thornton, who acts as its chair.

The principal duties and responsibilities of the Nominating Committee are as follows:

•

to establish criteria for board and committee membership and recommend to our Board proposed nominees for election to the Board and for membership on committees of the Board;

•

oversee the evaluations of the Board, the committees of the Board and management;

•

advise and assist the Board with oversight of environmental, social and governance-related (“ESG”) ~~matters;~~matters, including sustainability, responsible business and climate-related issues; and

•

to make recommendations to our Board regarding board governance matters and practices.

Director Qualifications; Nominating Committee Process; Board Diversity. The Nominating Committee’s policy is to identify potential nominees from any properly submitted nominations, including any properly submitted nominations from our stockholders, and subsequently evaluate each potential nominee. To properly submit a nomination, our stockholders must provide timely notice of such nomination in accordance with Section 1.10 of our ~~Second~~Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

The Nominating Committee conducts the appropriate and necessary inquiries (as determined by the Nominating Committee) with respect to the backgrounds and qualifications of any potential nominees, without regard to whether a potential nominee has been recommended by our stockholders, and, upon consideration of all relevant factors and circumstances, recommends to the Board for its approval the slate

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

of director nominees to be nominated for election at our annual meeting of stockholders. Given the complex nature of the Company’s business, the Board believes it is important to consider diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, education, cultural background, and professional experiences in evaluating candidates. Accordingly, when evaluating candidates for nomination as new directors, the Nominating Committee will consider (and will require any search firm that it engages to provide) a set of candidates that includes diverse candidates. We intend to succeed in accomplishing that goal through, among other things, soliciting suggestions from our Board and senior management, hiring third-party search firms as needed, and considering candidates proposed by shareholders in the same manner we evaluate candidates proposed by our Board or senior management. We have previously engaged the third-party search firm Russell Reynolds Associates to help us identify qualified candidates for our Board.

We believe the enhanced quality that results from a diverse board is beyond any reasonable dispute. We will continue the progress made to date by continuing to implement our policy of recruiting diverse nominee candidates.

The Nominating Committee is committed to a policy of inclusiveness and seeks members with diverse backgrounds, an understanding of our business and a reputation for integrity. Our director refreshment over the last several years has resulted in a diverse group of independent directors with low average tenure, gender diversity and significant experience. Highlights of our recent progress in building a diverse Board include:

•

~~In 2021,~~During the majority of 2023, three of the Board’s members were racially or ethnically diverse, and two were female.

•

Of the ~~five~~six new directors recommended by the Nominating Committee in 2020, 2021 and ~~2021~~2023 to replace departing directors, 67% were diverse, as two are racially or ethnically diverse, and ~~one is~~two are female.

The Nominating Committee is mindful of the fact that the percentage of women on our Board is below 30% and is committed to increasing such percentage through our Board refreshment process.

Environmental, Social and Governance Matters

We believe that the Company is able to advance ESG-related considerations and that sound corporate citizenship includes responsiveness to ESG issues that materially impact our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate. We are committed to operating our business with integrity; focusing on material ESG issues; giving back to the communities we serve; being environmentally conscious; and operating a responsible supply chain that focuses on the quality of our products and improves the lives of workers involved in manufacturing our products. Our Board provides overall oversight of the Company’s ESG efforts, and the charter of the Nominating ~~and Governance~~ Committee specifically tasks that committee with development and review of our ESG efforts, —and with making recommendations to the Board and/or management regarding the same. The Nominating Committee’s oversight includes assessing and planning for the potential impact of climate change and other sustainability risks and opportunities on our business. A copy of the charter of the Nominating ~~and Governance~~ Committee is available on our website at ir.FloorandDecor.com under “Governance Documents.” Below are just a few examples demonstrating our commitment to ESG matters:

•

Since 2015, we have raised over ~~$1,000,000~~$1,300,000 from our associates and directors for The West Fund, our financial assistance program for associates in ~~need through our employee assistance organization, the West Fund.~~need.

Employees

We believe that one of the biggest drivers in our growth and success is our employees and the culture that attracts them. We have built a strong team of employees to support our continued success. Each of our stores is led by a Chief Executive Merchant (“CEM”) and is supported by an operations manager, product category department managers, a design team, a Pro sales and support team, a Connected Customer Manager, and a number of additional associates. Outside of our stores, we have employees dedicated to serving our stores in corporate, store support, infrastructure, e-commerce, and similar functions as well as support for our distribution centers and Asian sourcing office. We dedicate significant resources to training our employees and believe they are key to our success. As of December ~~30, 2021,~~28, 2023, we had ~~10,566~~12,783 employees, with ~~10,554~~12,771 of these employees located

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

in the United States and 12 located outside of the United States. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, and temporary employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor organization or are a party to any collective bargaining arrangement.

We are mindful of diversity throughout the employment cycle and believe that diversity is key to our culture and long-term success. We strive to foster a supportive environment that cultivates professional growth and encourages employees to continuously develop their skills. We consider our relationship with employees to be vital, and are focused on effective attraction, onboarding, and implementation of our values. We intend to make additional investments in ~~diversity, equity~~culture and ~~inclusion~~diversity initiatives in the future.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee is comprised of three independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Corporate Governance page of the Investors section of our website located at ir.FloorandDecor.com. The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Giles, Marshall and Sullivan is independent as independence is defined under the applicable section of the NYSE rules, and that each of Messrs. Giles, Marshall and Sullivan is independent as independence is defined under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. The Board has also determined that each of Messrs. Giles, Marshall and Sullivan qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.”

The primary purposes of the Audit Committee are to: monitor our financial reporting process and internal control system; appoint our independent registered public accounting firm, determine its compensation and other terms of engagement and oversee its work; oversee the performance of our internal audit function; and oversee our compliance with legal, ethical and regulatory matters.

As noted above, the Audit Committee assists the Board in appointing our independent registered public accounting firm, EY, which includes, among other things, reviewing and evaluating the qualifications, performance and independence of the lead audit partner responsible for our audit, overseeing the required rotation of the lead audit partner and reviewing and considering the selection of the lead audit partner. In appointing EY and the lead audit partner, the Audit Committee considered, among other things, the quality and efficiency of the services provided, including the results of a global internal survey of EY’s performance, the technical capabilities of the engagement teams, external data concerning EY’s audit quality and performance obtained from reports of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), the engagement teams’ understanding of our company’s business as well as the potential impact of changing auditors. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of EY to serve as the Company’s independent auditor is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and have recommended that stockholders ratify the appointment of EY as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ~~2022.~~2024.

The Audit Committee discussed the auditors’ review of our quarterly financial information with the auditors prior to the release of such information and the filing of our quarterly reports with the SEC. The Audit Committee also met and held discussions with management and EY with respect to our audited year-end financial statements.

Further, the Audit Committee discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301, as amended (Communications With Audit Committees), received the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, has discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence and has considered, among other things, the audit and non-audit services performed by, and the amount of fees paid for such services to, the independent registered public accounting firm. In determining EY’s independence, the Audit Committee considered whether EY’s provision of non-audit services were compatible with the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also discussed with the auditors and our financial management matters related to our internal control over financial reporting. Based on these discussions and the written disclosures received from EY, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2021,~~28, 2023, for filing with the SEC. The Board has approved this recommendation.

This audit committee report is not deemed filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and is not incorporated by reference into any filings that we may make with the SEC.

•

Thomas V. Taylor, who serves as Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board and is our principal executive officer;

•

~~Trevor S. Lang,~~Bryan. H. Langley, who serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and is our principal financial officer;

Brian K. Robbins, who served as Executive Vice President, Business Development Strategy, until his departure from the Company ~~that she intends to retire~~ on ~~April 30, 2022.~~March 1, 2024.

Highlights of ~~2021~~2023 Business Performance

We believe that our NEOs were instrumental in helping us ~~drive positive results for our stockholders~~perform well in Fiscal ~~2021, particularly in light of the continued challenging circumstances posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the global supply chain and the labor market.~~2023, despite macroeconomic challenges. Our positive results are evidenced by the following:

•

the Company opened 2731 new warehouse-format stores;

•

net sales increased ~~41.5%~~3.5% to ~~$3,433.5~~$4,413.9 million in Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, compared to ~~$2,425.8~~$4,264.5 million in Fiscal ~~2020; relatedly, comparable store sales increased 27.6% in Fiscal 2021;~~2022; and

•

~~operating income increased 58.0% to $339.0 million in Fiscal 2021, compared to $214.6 million in Fiscal 2020; relatedly, operating~~gross margin increased ~~110~~160 basis points to ~~9.9%~~42.1% in Fiscal ~~2021; and~~

•

~~net income increased 45.3%~~2023, compared to ~~$283.2 million~~40.5% in Fiscal ~~2021, compared to $195.0 million in Fiscal 2020; relatedly, net income per diluted share was $2.64 in Fiscal 2021 compared to $1.84 in Fiscal 2020.~~2022.

Despite the challenges noted above, the overall growth in operating and net income and in net sales for Fiscal 2021 resulted in us exceeding our 2021 Bonus Program target goals, leading to a 200% annual cash bonus payout for our executive officers as more fully described below.

For more information on our financial results for Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2021,~~28, 2023, filed with the SEC on February ~~24, 2022.~~22, 2024.

Fiscal ~~2021~~2023 Compensation

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The primary objectives of our executive pay program are to:

•

attract and retain an exceptional executive team needed to outperform our peers and execute our strategy;

•

drive our short- and long-term growth objectives;

•

align the interests of our executive team with that of our shareholders; and

•

~~promote a performance-orientation within the organization.~~align our organization’s pay programs with metrics that we generally view as being important drivers of our performance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

To achieve that, our compensation program relies on the following core principles:

	Core Principles
	Simplicity and Transparency			Base salary, incentive compensation and equity awards should be easy for executives and for our shareholders to understand.
	Linked to our Strategy			Our pay design should create a direct bridge to our strategy, and clearly reflect our key short- and long-term business objectives.
	Attractive Compensation for Top Talent			Pay quantums and design should be compelling enough to attract the best talent we can to support the successful execution of our strategies.
	Pay for Performance			Compensation should be paid only when financial performance levels achieved align with the strategic and financial priorities set by the Board.
	Appropriate Risk Orientation			The more senior a role, the more the total mix of that role’s compensation should be “at risk.” However, our compensation programs ~~should be~~are designed in a manner that is intended to provide for performance-based compensation that is both challenging and achievable, and that does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking.

While the Compensation Committee considers competitive compensation data to generally inform decisions relating to NEO compensation, it does not seek to benchmark NEO compensation to any particular level in the market.

The material components of our executive compensation program and their purposes and key characteristics are summarized in the following chart:

	What We Do			What We Don’t Do
	✓ Pay-for-Performance: Majority of fiscal year pay is performance-based and not guaranteed			X ✓ ~~No Excise Tax Gross-ups: The Company does not provide any excise tax gross-up payments in connection with a change in control~~
	✓ Annual Compensation Risk Review: Our Compensation Committee annually assesses risk in compensation programs associated with regulatory, stockholder and market changes			X ✓ ~~No Tax Gross-ups for Perquisites: The Company does not provide tax gross-ups to NEOs for the limited perquisites we provide~~
	✓ Share Ownership Guidelines: We maintain meaningful share ownership guidelines			X ✓ ~~No Hedging or Pledging: NEOs are prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions, pledging Company stock as collateral and similar arrangements with respect to the Company’s securities~~
	✓ Annual Assessment of Compensation Program: Our Compensation Committee annually assesses the design and alignment of our incentive plans in relation to performance goals, business strategy, organizational priorities and shareholder interests ✓ Maximum Payouts: We limit both short-term and long-term incentive payouts as a percentage of target awards ✓ Clawback Policies: All cash-based incentive or performance-based equity compensation granted to our NEOs is subject to our Clawback Policies			X No Excise Tax Gross-ups: The Company does not provide any excise tax gross-up payments in connection with a change in control X No Tax Gross-ups for Perquisites: The Company does not provide tax gross-ups to NEOs for the perquisites we provide X No Hedging or Pledging: NEOs are prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions, pledging Company stock as collateral and similar arrangements with respect to the Company’s securities X No Problematic Option Practices: The Company does not have a practice of granting discounted stock options, extending the original option term, or repricing or exchanging underwater options
	✓ ~~Maximum Payouts: We limit incentive payouts as a percentage of target awards~~
	✓ ~~Clawback Policy: All cash-based incentive or performance-based equity compensation granted to our NEOs is subject to our Clawback Policy~~

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

For Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, our executive compensation program consisted of the following elements:

We do not have formal policies relating to the allocation of total compensation among the various elements of our compensation program. We generally allocate compensation between short-term and long-term components and between cash and equity in a manner that we believe will maximize executive performance and retention. The variable pay elements (annual cash incentive and long-term incentive equity awards) comprise an increasingly larger proportion of total compensation of our senior executives as position level increases. This is consistent with our belief that these at-risk elements of compensation more closely align management’s interests with our financial performance and with our employees’ and stockholders’ interests.

For Fiscal 2023, approximately 93.4% of our current CEO’s target compensation and approximately 90.1% on average for our other NEOs, was at risk and contingent upon the achievement of corporate performance objectives, service requirements and/or share price performance. The components of total target compensation for Fiscal 2023 were:

Base Salary. Base salary is a visible and stable foundation of our compensation program. The base salaries of our NEOs are intended to reflect the position, duties and responsibilities of each executive and the market for base salaries of similarly situated executives at other companies of similar size and in similar industries. On a prospective basis, we ~~will continue to~~ evaluate the mix of base salary, short-term incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation to appropriately align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders. When reviewing each executive’s base salary, the Compensation Committee considers the level of responsibility and complexity of the executive’s role, individual performance in the prior year, and the salaries paid for the same or similar positions in the ~~competitive~~ market. In February ~~2021,~~2023, the Compensation Committee and the Board, as applicable, approved salary increases for the NEOs, ~~other than Mr. Taylor,~~ effective February ~~12, 2021,~~24, 2023, as set forth in the table that follows. ~~The~~Following review of benchmarking analysis against our peer group and in light of increased job duties and responsibilities for certain of our NEOs, the Compensation Committee and the Board, as applicable, determined to increase base salaries of the NEOs ~~other than Mr. Taylor,~~ by approximately 2%2.9% to 7%8.7% after considering the factors listed above.

~~Base salaries~~

Annual Cash Incentive Bonuses. Our NEOs are eligible to receive annual cash incentives. We consider annual cash incentive bonuses to be “at-risk” compensation. As “at-risk” compensation, we increase the size of the target incentive as a percentage of base compensation, proportionate to each NEO’s position and responsibilities. The annual incentives are intended to reward our NEOs for achieving target operating income and net sales ~~objective~~objectives established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the year.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

~~For Fiscal 2021 under~~ The maximum annual cash incentive bonus payable pursuant to the ~~2021~~2023 Annual Performance Bonus Program (the ~~“2021~~“2023 Bonus Program”), is 200% of the NEO’s applicable target bonus.

For Fiscal 2023 under the 2023 Bonus Program, our NEOs were eligible to receive ~~a target~~an annual incentive with a target amount equal to a percentage of their respective full annual base salary earned in the fiscal year, as follows:

~~Name~~	~~Target 2021 Bonus as a~~ ~~% of Base Salary~~
~~Thomas V. Taylor~~		~~100~~%
~~Trevor S. Lang~~		65%
~~Lisa G. Laube~~		70%
~~Brian K. Robbins~~		60%
~~David V. Christopherson~~		60%

Name	Target 2023 Bonus as a % of Base Salary		Target 2023 Bonus ($)
Thomas V. Taylor		125%		$	1,325,000
Bryan H. Langley		60%		$	240,000
Trevor S. Lang		70%		$	437,500
David V. Christopherson		65%		$	308,750
Brian K. Robbins		65%		$	302,250

Under the ~~2021~~2023 Bonus Program, annual incentives for our NEOs were calculated based on achievement of Fiscal ~~2021~~2023 targeted net sales ~~20% weighting,~~(20% weighting) and operating income ~~80% weighting,~~(80% weighting), as determined by the Compensation Committee, calculated as ~~follows.~~follows:

Performance Metric	Threshold ($ in millions)			Target ($ in millions)			Maximum ($ in millions)			Weighting (%)
Net Sales		$	4,420.7		$	4,778.1		$	5,016.0		20%
Operating Income		$	346.6		$	431.0		$	479.4		80%

The goals were based on the Fiscal 2023 business outlook and plan. The Fiscal 2023 business outlook included our focus on store expansion and increased overall sales. However, during Fiscal 2023, operating income was impacted by macroeconomic pressures outside of the Company’s control, including inflation and increased interest rates. While the net sales performance target was nearly achieved, the relatively low weighting of net sales against the operating income performance metric meant that achievement of above-threshold performance for that metric was not sufficient to overcome below-threshold performance with respect to the operating income metric. Based on our achievement of ~~114%~~92.4% of our net sales target and ~~136%~~75.9% of our operating income target after the adjustments described below, the NEOs’ weighted average calculated payout percentage under the 2021 Bonus Program is approximately 527.7%. However, under the terms of the 2021 Bonus Program, the maximum payout is 200%, which is the amount actually payable to our NEOs under the 2021 Bonus Program.

~~Discretionary Cash Bonuses Paid in Fiscal 2021.~~ The annual cash incentive bonus program is the primary short-term cash incentive compensation element of our executive compensation program, and we do not regularly grant bonuses based on subjective performance assessments. However, in certain circumstances, the Compensation Committee may approve discretionary bonuses to recognize extraordinary efforts and successes of employees whose contributions to the Company’s results may not otherwise be recognized. As described in last year’s proxy statement, in February 2021, the Compensation Committee approved discretionary cash bonuses for Brian Robbins and David Christopherson in the amount of $40,000 each, in consideration of their respective extraordinary contributions and exceptional service provided to the Company in the Supply Chain and Legal functions in connection with the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic during Fiscal 2020.reflected below.

Equity Incentive Awards

2017 Stock Incentive Plan

In connection with our 2017 initial public offering (“IPO”), our Board adopted and our stockholders approved the Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”), pursuant to which we may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and performance-based cash awards to our employees, including the NEOs, which may be subject to such service-based, performance-based or other ~~such other~~ vesting factors or criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion in accordance with the 2017 Plan. Awards under the 2017 Plan are intended to drive and reward performance over an extended period of time to promote creation of long-term value for our stockholders, create strong alignment with the long-term interests of our stockholders, assist in retaining highly qualified executives, and contribute to competitive total rewards.

Fiscal ~~2021~~2023 Equity Awards

We generally grant equity incentive awards to our NEOs ~~every 12 to 18 months,~~annually, with interim grants for new hires and promotions after the regular grant date. We believe that regular equity-based long-term incentive awards align the interests of our NEOs with our stockholders and focus our NEOs on our long-term growth. In Fiscal ~~2021~~2023 we granted a mix of ~~stock options and~~ service-based vesting restricted share awards. The Compensation Committee believes that awarding a mix of stock options and restricted share awards achieves a balance in linking NEO long-term compensation to Company performance. Options do not provide any value unless our stock price appreciates and focus and reward our NEOs for increasing our stock price. The value of restricted shares increases or decreases in the same way stockholders’ stock value increases or decreases and restricted shares are generally less dilutive to our stockholders than options.

In Fiscal 2021, in connection with our regular cycle of granting equity incentive awards, we granted stock options and service-based vesting restricted share awards to our NEOs under the 2017 Plan. Options and service-based restricted shares vest in four ratable annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, generally subject to the grantee’s continued employment as of each applicable vesting date. The NEOs have all the rights of stockholders with respect to the restricted stock (including the right to receive dividends on the restricted stock and to vote the shares of restricted stock).

~~401(k) Plan and other Benefits~~

All full-time employees are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan after six months of service and are eligible to receive matching contributions from us after six months of service. We match employee contributions in cash at a rate of 40% of the first 5% of base compensation that an employee contributes, with graded vesting over a six-year period. In fiscal 2021, the Company also contributed an additional 5% match based on the strength of the Company’s operating results. Our NEOs are also eligible for our matches, subject to regulatory limits on contributions to 401(k) plans. Messrs. Lang, Robbins and Christopherson and Ms. Laube each participate in the 401(k) plan. In addition to participation in our 401(k) plan, we provide our NEOs with employer paid group term life insurance. In order to maximize productivity and ensure that Mr. Taylor can be immediately available to respond to business priorities, we pay for, or reimburse costs of, certain air travel arising in connection with Mr. Taylor’s regular business-related commuting to our corporate office. These amounts constitute taxable income to Mr. Taylor, and we do not gross-up or in any way compensate Mr. Taylor for income tax owed in respect of such amounts

~~Employment Agreements~~

~~We are party to employment agreements with Messrs. Taylor, Lang, Robbins and Christopherson and Ms. Laube (as amended and restated in February 2020) (the “A&R Agreements”). Each A&R Agreement~~

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

provides for the payment of base salary and certain other benefits. Each of the NEOs is also eligible to earn an annual bonus equal to a percentage of base salary, based on the achievement of performance criteria.

The NEOs are also eligible to receive severance benefits in the event of certain terminations of employment. For a more detailed description of such benefits, see “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.” The other material terms and conditions of the NEOs’ employment agreements generally remain unchanged.

~~Restrictive Covenants~~

Each of the NEOs is subject to certain non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions while employed and for one year after termination of employment (or, in the case of Mr. Taylor, for two years after termination of employment). In addition, each NEO is subject to confidentiality and non-disparagement restrictions.

~~Fiscal 2022 Compensation~~

As described under the heading “Equity Incentive Awards”, under the 2017 Plan, we may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and performance-based cash awards to our employees, including the NEOs, which may be subject to such service-based, performance-based or other such other vesting factors or criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion in accordance with the 2017 Plan.

As part of our regular cycle equity incentive grants, effective February 28, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved or, as applicable, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, a change to our long-term equity incentive compensation program for our NEOs to shift from a mix of stock options and restricted share awards that vest over a four-year period subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date, to (i) restricted stock unit awards (RSUs) ~~that vest over a three-year period subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date, which represent 50% of the long-term equity opportunity of our NEOs,~~ and ~~(ii)~~performance and service-based performance stock units (PSUs) that vest after a three-year performance period subject to achievement of approved performance metrics and generally subject to continued service through the date the Compensation Committee certifies the extent to which the applicable performance metrics have been met, which represent 50% of the long-term equity opportunity of our NEOs.. The Compensation Committee believes that awarding a mix of RSUs and PSUs encourages our NEOs to create and sustain stockholder value over longer periods because their value is directly attributable to changes in the price of our common stock over time, and because their full value cannot be realized until vesting occurs, which generally requires continued employment for multiple years and/or achievement of performance goals. The Compensation Committee ~~further~~ views RSUs ~~and PSUs~~ as a form of long-term incentive that focuses our NEOs on long-term strategy ~~execution and that is generally less dilutive~~execution. In addition to ~~our stockholders than stock options and that~~the considerations applied to RSUs, the Compensation Committee views the long-term financial metrics applicable to the PSUs, which incorporate both operating profit and balance sheet return on investment performance, as valuable to ensure that our NEOs are appropriately incentivized to create long-term value for the Company and the Company’s stockholders and to effectively allocate capital toward investments that are intended to provide future growth for the Company’s stockholders.

In determining the size of equity-based grants, the Compensation Committee considers, among other things, the number of shares available under the 2017 Plan, the potential dilutive impact of such grants on our stockholders and the individual’s position with ~~us.~~the Company. The number of RSUs and PSUs granted to our NEOs in Fiscal ~~2022~~2023 is shown below. ~~Additional detail on each grant will be reported in our proxy statement for Fiscal 2022.~~

The number of PSUs shown is based on the target number of PSUs that may become vested, subject to the attainment of the performance ~~goals~~metrics applicable to the PSUs.

The RSUs granted in Fiscal 2023 as a part of Annual Awards vest in three ratable annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, generally subject to the grantee’s continued employment as of each applicable vesting date. The vesting of the PSUs ~~vest following the completion~~granted in Fiscal 2023 as a part of Annual Awards is subject to achievement of a three-year average ROIC of at least 13.0%, and the achievement

of Adjusted EBIT targets, as described in the following table. To the extent Adjusted EBIT target performance ~~period, with~~falls between the levels specified below, the vesting percentage will be determined on a straight-line interpolated basis. The percentage of the PSUs that ~~become~~becomes vested (if any) will be based on the Compensation Committee’s certification of the Company’s achievement with respect to the performance targets over the three-year performance period. We believe this design most effectively incentivizes our NEOs to drive earnings growth as well as efficiently allocate capital. The Fiscal 2023 PSUs are not expected to meet the threshold requirements for vesting based on performance as of ~~specified adjusted cumulative earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) goals over~~the end of Fiscal 2023. At the end of the performance period asin December 2025, the Compensation Committee will review and certify the level of achievement of performance goals with respect to the Fiscal 2023 PSUs, which will be described in ~~the following table. Payout of the PSUs is further subject to the Company maintaining a minimum average 17% return on invested capital (“ROIC”)~~our proxy statement for each year of the three year performance period such that if, ROIC in any given fiscal year during the three-year performance period is less than 17%, then the payout percentage will be zero notwithstanding Adjusted EBIT performance, in each case subject to the Compensation Committee’s discretion to make certain customary adjustments to reflect unusual, nonrecurring or extraordinary events or items.Fiscal 2026.

“Adjusted EBIT” is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is generally defined as earnings before interest and taxes, adjusted for certain special, unusual or non-recurring items affecting the Company or its financial statements, items related to the disposal of business or discontinued operations (including termination expenses), certain items related to acquisitions and the impact of acquisitions, employer taxes tied to stock-based compensation, asset impairments, one-time personnel-related expenses, material litigation charges or gains, goodwill impairment charges, items related to equity and/or debt related transactions, items related to changes in accounting principles or applicable law or regulations, and certain other adjustments as determined to be appropriate by the Compensation Committee (which may include adjustments taken into account in calculating Adjusted EBIT as reported by the Company in one or more of its earnings releases for the performance period), in each case, as determined by the Compensation Committee to be appropriate taking into account all relevant objective information or financial data, with the Compensation Committee’s determination to be final and conclusive on all parties. ~~“ROIC”~~

“ROIC” is generally defined as, with respect to each fiscal year during the three-year performance period, the Company’s return on invested capital for a fiscal year, determined as the quotient of (i) an amount equal to (A) the Company’s Adjusted EBIT, plus (B) the Company’s expenses and amortization related to the Company’s leased property, minus (C) the product of (I) the Company’s Adjusted EBIT, (II) plus the Company’s expenses and amortization related to the Company’s leased property multiplied by (III) the Company’s effective tax rate (the average tax rate applicable to pre-tax profits that would be applied to the next dollar of income, as determined by the Committee), divided by (ii) an amount equal to (A) the previous five-quarter-average net fixed assets, as reported by the Company in its quarterly and annual financial statements for the five quarters ending with the last quarter of the applicable fiscal year, plus (B) the Company’s then-current net working capital, as reported by the Company in its quarterly and annual financial statements for the five quarters ending with the last quarter of the applicable fiscal year (calculated as (1) total current assets, minus (2) cash and cash equivalents, less (3) total current liabilities, minus (4) current portion of debt), plus (C) the Company’s expenses and amortization related to the Company’s leased ~~property~~ ~~multiplied by~~ ~~7.5, in each case determined in~~

Special Performance Stock Unit Award

~~With respect to all PSUs, vesting generally requires continued employment through the date~~long-term strategy, in February 2023 the Compensation Committee ~~certifies~~and the ~~extent~~Board, as applicable, approved a grant of special performance- and service-based PSUs (the “Special PSUs”) to ~~which~~our NEOs under the 2017 Plan.

The Special PSU design includes the following key features:

✓

Three-year performance period, covering Fiscal 2023 – 2025;

✓

Mix of performance- and service-based Special PSUs and service-based Special PSUs as outlined in the table below;

Equity Vehicle	Percentage of Total Special PSUs Granted
Performance- and service-based Special PSUs		67%
Service-based Special PSUs		33%

✓

Performance- and service-based Special PSUs

•

Special PSUs vest based on achievement of performance goals as outlined in the table below;

Performance Goal	Percentage of Total Special PSUs Granted
Adjusted EBIT/Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC Special PSUs		45%
Relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) Special PSUs		22%

•

rTSR Special PSUs vest based on achievement of relative TSR against a specified peer group and no above-target vesting can occur in the event of negative three-year absolute TSR;

•

Vesting based on achievement of threshold, target, or maximum performance metrics and linear interpolation for performance achieved between the various goals;

•

The maximum number of Special PSUs that can vest is 100% of the service-based Special PSUs and 150% of the performance- and service-based Special PSUs;

✓

Service-based PSUs will vest as outlined in the table below;

NEO	Continued Service Through Date	Percent Vesting
Mr. Taylor	First Anniversary of Grant Date	0%
	Second Anniversary of Grant Date	33%
	Third Anniversary of Grant Date	67%
Other NEOs	First Anniversary of Grant Date	0%
	Second Anniversary of Grant Date	25%
	Third Anniversary of Grant Date	25%
	Fourth Anniversary of Grant Date	50%

✓

No automatic accelerated vesting upon change in control or termination of employment or service.

Adjusted EBIT/Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC PSUs

Adjusted EBIT/Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC PSUs vest based on achieving threshold, target, or maximum levels of Adjusted EBIT as of the end of the performance period and a targeted level of Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC for the performance period, as follows:

Three-Year Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC	Adjusted EBIT	Percent of PSUs Vested
Equal to or greater than 13.0%	Equal to or greater than $610,300,000 but less than $693,000,000 (Represents CAGR of 15%)	50% (Threshold)
	Equal to or greater than $693,000,000 but less than $783,200,000 (Represents CAGR of 20%)	100% (Target)
	Equal to or greater than $783,200,000 (Represents CAGR of 25%)	150% (Maximum)

As noted above, vesting of the Adjusted EBIT/Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC PSUs requires achievement of both the Adjusted EBIT and Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC goals. Regardless of the achievement of the Adjust EBIT goal, if the Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC of at least 13.0% is not achieved, no Adjusted EBIT/Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC PSUs will vest. The maximum number of Adjusted EBIT/Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC PSUs that can vest is 150% of the target number of Adjusted EBIT/Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC PSUs.

For this purpose, “Adjusted EBIT” is determined in a manner consistent with the annual PSUs (described above) but includes an adjustment for the stock-based compensation expense of the Special PSUs, and “Average Adjusted EBIT ROIC” is determined based on the three-year average of the Company’s return on invested capital for the performance ~~criteria have been met. However,~~period (calculated as Adjusted EBIT divided by the five-quarter average net working capital and net fixed assets).

rTSR PSUs

Vesting of rTSR PSUs is determined based on the Company’s average TSR as of the last trading day of the three-year performance period as compared to threshold, target, and maximum levels in relation to the rTSR Peer Group, determined without regard to the Company, as set forth in the table below. If the three-year average TSR for the performance period falls between the percentiles specified in the table, the payout percentages shall be determined on a straight-line interpolated basis. Additionally, the rTSR PSUs will not be eligible to vest above the target number of rTSR PSUs if ~~one~~the Company’s three-year absolute TSR is negative.

	Average Three-year TSR			Percent of rTSR PSUs Vested
	35th Percentile			50% (Threshold)
	55th Percentile			100% (Target)
	75th Percentile			150% (Maximum)

The rTSR Peer Group is comprised of the following companies in the specialty retail and household durables industries, with exposure to homebuilding and/or home improvement markets.

401(k) Plan and other Benefits

All full-time employees are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan after six months of service and are eligible to receive matching contributions from us after six months of service. We match employee contributions in cash at a rate of 45% of the first 5% of base compensation that an employee contributes, with graded vesting over a six-year period. Our NEOs are also eligible for the Company matching contribution, subject to regulatory limits on contributions to 401(k) plans. Messrs. Langley, Lang, Christopherson and Robbins each participate in the 401(k) plan. In addition to participation in our 401(k) plan, we provide our NEOs with employer paid group term life insurance. Pursuant to the Company’s aircraft policy, in order to maximize productivity and ensure that Mr. Taylor can be immediately available to respond to business priorities, we pay for, or reimburse costs of, certain air travel arising in connection with Mr. Taylor’s regular business-related commuting to and from our corporate office and certain personal travel for Mr. Taylor and/or his family members or other guests.

Determination of Compensation

Role of the Compensation Committee in Executive Compensation

During Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, the Compensation Committee (and, with respect to Messrs. Taylor and Lang, ~~and Ms. Laube,~~ the Board), made all decisions regarding the compensation levels of our executive officers.

It is the Compensation Committee’s responsibility to:

•

oversee the design of our executive compensation programs, policies and practices;

•

determine the types and amounts of most compensation for executive officers; and

•

review and approve the adoption, termination and amendment of, and to administer and, as appropriate, make recommendations to the Board regarding, our cash incentive compensation and equity incentive compensation plans.

In addition, as described in these proxy materials, the Compensation Committee has directly engaged Korn Ferry to assist in its review of compensation for our executive officers.

In Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, the Compensation Committee made recommendations to the Board regarding, and the Board approved, the individual compensation of ~~Mr.~~Messrs. Taylor ~~Mr. Lang,~~ and ~~Ms. Laube.~~Lang.

Role of Executive Officers in Determining Executive and Director Compensation

As described above, during Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, the Compensation Committee and, as applicable, the Board made all decisions regarding the compensation of our executive officers and directors, after considering recommendations by Mr. Taylor (other than with respect to his own compensation).

Our human resources department supported the Compensation Committee’s work, and in some cases acted under delegated authority to administer compensation programs.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has retained Korn Ferry as its consultant to provide advice on executive and director compensation practices. Korn Ferry’s support generally includes analysis related to the competitiveness of our executive and director compensation programs, periodic reviews of our compensation peer group, the presentation of compensation and governance trends to the Compensation Committee, and other mandates as directed by the Compensation Committee.

In Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, we paid Korn Ferry ~~approximately $193,000,~~$158,773, which consisted of approximately ~~$133,000~~$143,000 for services related to executive and director compensation and ~~approximately $60,000~~$15,773 for services related to store employee compensation.

The Compensation Committee annually reviews the independence of Korn Ferry as its consultant under applicable SEC and NYSE rules on conflict of interest. Following this review, the Compensation

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Committee determined that Korn Ferry’s work for us does not raise any conflicts of interest. The Compensation Committee’s evaluation included consideration of all services provided to us, the amount of fees received as a percentage of Korn Ferry’s annual revenue, its policies and procedures designed to prevent conflicts of interest, any business or personal relationships between Korn Ferry and the members of the Compensation Committee or executive officers and any ownership of our stock by the advisors providing executive and director compensation services to us.

Peer Group Construction

In making executive compensation determinations for Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, we relied on the ~~significant~~ experience of the members of our ~~directors in establishing compensation across many companies,~~Compensation Committee, as well as the input of our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to his own compensation), who has many years of experience in our industry. ~~Our Compensation Committee analyzed market data for executive compensation focusing on retail companies with $1.1 billion to $3.9 billion in annual revenue.~~ For Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, the Compensation Committee ~~also~~ reviewed compensation data from the public filings for the following companies, which our Compensation Committee identified as our peer group for Fiscal ~~2021.~~2023. The following group of companies reflect certain changes from the group reviewed in the prior fiscal year to reflect revenue size, growth rates and other characteristics that the Compensation Committee believes provide a more appropriate comparison.

While the Compensation Committee considered this data from time to time to generally inform decisions relating to NEO compensation, it did not seek to benchmark our NEO compensation to any particular level. The Compensation Committee expects to periodically evaluate competitive market data to include the most suitable peer group as well as other market data deemed relevant. The Compensation Committee will review our NEO compensation against an appropriate peer group on a more formal basis and will also consider other relevant market data to ensure that our NEO compensation is competitive and sufficient to recruit and retain our NEOs.

The Compensation Committee expects to periodically review and update this peer group and to utilize Korn Ferry for peer group analysis in determining and developing compensation packages for our NEOs.

Say-on-Pay Consideration

At our ~~2021~~2023 annual meeting of stockholders, we held a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs in Fiscal ~~2020~~2022 (“~~2021~~2023 say-on-pay”). Our stockholders overwhelmingly approved the compensation of our NEOs, with approximately ~~98.8%~~93.3% of the votes cast in favor of our ~~2021~~2023 say-on-pay resolution. We believe that the outcome of our ~~2021~~2023 say-on-pay vote signals our stockholders’ support of our compensation programs and philosophy, specifically our efforts to retain and motivate our NEOs and to align pay with performance and the long-term interests of our stockholders.

The Compensation Committee reviewed and considered these voting results, among other factors described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, in evaluating our executive compensation programs and philosophy.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

As a general matter, our Board and the Compensation Committee review and consider the various tax and accounting implications of our existing and proposed compensation programs.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 requires us to recognize an expense for the fair value of share-based compensation awards.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

Grants of equity incentive awards under the 2017 Plan are accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 718. The Board and the Compensation Committee consider the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our long-term incentive program. As

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align accounting expenses of our share-based compensation awards with our overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) generally disallows publicly-listed companies a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to certain current and former executive officers (the “covered employees”). Generally, compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to each of the covered ~~current and former executive officers~~employees will not be deductible by us. However, the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Code include certain transition rules and grandfathering rules for certain compensation that is not counted toward the deduction limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code. Following our 2021 Annual Meeting of stockholders, the transition rules allowing us to exempt certain compensation from the deduction limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code following our 2017 IPO are no longer applicable. However, certain compensation paid or payable to the Company’s covered employees may be eligible to be excluded from the deductibility limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code pursuant to the grandfathering rules under Section 162(m) of the Code. While the Compensation Committee considers the impact of Section 162(m) of the Code when designing and implementing our compensation programs, the Compensation Committee will continue to develop compensation programs that use a full range of criteria important to our success, recognizing that compensation paid under such programs may not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. In the exercise of our business judgment, we continue to have the flexibility to award compensation that may not be tax-deductible if we determine that is appropriate.

Hedging and Pledging Policy

We have an insider trading policy, which, among other items, expressly prohibits Covered Persons (defined as our and our subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees) as well as their immediate families and members of their households, from engaging in transactions of a speculative nature involving our common stock, including, but not limited to, buying or selling puts or calls or other derivative securities based on our common stock. In addition, such persons are prohibited from engaging in short sales of our common stock or entering into hedging or monetization transactions or similar arrangements with respect to our common stock (other than with respect to common stock granted under our employee stock purchase plan).

Stock Ownership Guidelines

To further align the long-term interests of our executives and our stockholders, in connection with our IPO, we adopted stock ownership guidelines applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers and non-employee directors. The guidelines require our executives and non-executive directors to maintain the following beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock (measured in market value):

	Group			Required ownership
	Chief Executive Officer			5 times annual base salary
	President / Executive Vice Presidents ~~/ President~~			3 times annual base salary
	Senior Vice Presidents			2 times annual base salary
	Non-employee directors			5 times annual cash retainer

Our executives and non-employee directors have ~~until May 2022 or, if later,~~ five years from the effective date of their respective election, appointment or promotion, as the case may be, to satisfy these stock ownership guidelines. For the purposes of these stock ownership guidelines, the annual consulting fee received by Mr. West under his consulting agreement with us will be deemed to be his annual cash retainer. For purposes of determining ownership levels, shares of common stock owned outright, unvested shares of restricted stock and shares underlying vested and certain unvested, in-the-money options to purchase common stock are included. Shares of common stock underlying an award subject to performance-vesting for which the performance criteria have not been satisfied are not included. As of the end of Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, all of our executive officers were in compliance with these guidelines.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

Clawback ~~Policy~~Policies

In order to encourage sound financial reporting and enhance individual accountability, we maintain a discretionary clawback policy for our executive officers ~~providing~~(the “Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy”), which provides that if our financial statements are restated, we may seek to recover or cancel any cash-based incentive or performance-based equity compensation paid or payable that was awarded as a result of achieving financial performance goals that are not met under the restated financial results. In Fiscal 2023, we amended our Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy to cover Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents of the Company, and to allow for recovery of compensation if a covered person engages in certain types of misconduct. Additionally, in Fiscal 2023, we adopted our Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy consistent with the requirements recently adopted by the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Dodd-Frank Policy” and, together with the Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy, the “Clawback Policies”). Under the Dodd-Frank Policy, except for certain enumerated exceptions, we are required to recoup erroneously received incentive-based compensation from each current or former executive officer of the Company if we are required to prepare a restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under U.S. securities laws. For the complete terms of our Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy and our Dodd-Frank Policy, please see exhibits 10.56 and 97, respectively, of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024.

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, which was mandated by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank ~~Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection~~ Act, ~~of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”),~~ we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Tom Taylor, our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”) and Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”), based on data as of December ~~30, 2021~~28, 2023 (the “Determination Date”).

Our employee population consists of a significant number of part-time employees, many of whom are also compensated on an hourly basis. Approximately 92% of our employees are compensated on an hourly basis, and part-time employees represent approximately ~~24%~~23% of our total workforce. Our median employee in Fiscal ~~2021~~2023 was determined to be a full-time hourly employee.

For Fiscal ~~2021:~~2023:

•

The median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our company (other than our CEO) was determined to be ~~$23,768,~~$33,404, and

•

the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement was ~~$5,143,661.~~$15,516,834.

Based on this information, for Fiscal ~~2021,~~2023, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was ~~216~~465 to 1.

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in good faith, in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee and our CEO, we took the following steps:

•

We determined that, as of the Determination Date, our employee population consisted of approximately ~~10,566~~12,783 individuals with 99.9% of these employees located in the United States and ~~.1%~~0.1% located outside of the United States. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, and temporary employees.

•

We used a consistently applied compensation measure to identify our median employee by comparing the amount of salary, wages, overtime pay, bonuses and tips of our employees as reflected in our payroll records as reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-2 for ~~2020.~~2023. We did not annualize the compensation for any employee in identifying our median employee.

•

We identified our median employee by consistently applying this compensation measure to all of our employees included in the analysis.

After we identified our median employee, we calculated such employee’s annual total compensation for ~~2020~~2023 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of ~~$23,768.~~$33,404.

With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our ~~2021~~2023 Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement.

Net sales is calculated in accordance with GAAP, as reflected in our audited financial statements. While we use various performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for our compensation programs, we have determined that net sales is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by us to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Required Tabular Disclosure of Most Important Measures to Determine Fiscal 2023 CAP

As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflets a pay-for-performance philosophy, where compensation is paid subject to achieving financial performance levels that align with our strategic and financial priorities. We consider the metrics in the table below to be the most important financial performance measures utilized by the Company to link CAP for Fiscal 2023 to the Company’s performance.

•

Net Sales

•

Comparable Store Sales

•

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“EBIT”)

Relationship Between Company TSR and Peer Group TSR; Financial Performance Measures and CAP

As described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy, where compensation is paid subject to achieving financial performance levels that align with our strategic and financial priorities. The Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance through long-term incentive equity awards. The calculation of “compensation actually paid”, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, is affected by, among other things, the impact of changing stock price on the fair value of outstanding long-term incentive equity awards. Various other factors can also negatively impact the fair value of outstanding long-term incentive equity awards, and thereby reduce “compensation actually paid”, even when financial metrics are met. As a result, “compensation actually paid” as presented in the Pay Versus Performance table for a particular year may appear to decrease while our non-TSR financial performance measures are positive (for example, in Fiscal 2022). Nevertheless, over time, we view long-term incentive equity awards as an effective and important means of aligning executive compensation with our strategic and financial priorities.

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (PROPOSAL 3)

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added by ~~The~~the Dodd-Frank ~~Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection~~ Act ~~of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank”)~~ and the related SEC rules promulgated thereunder, we are providing our stockholders the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2021.~~28, 2023. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers. ~~The~~Pursuant to our most recent say-on-frequency vote held at our 2018 annual meeting of the stockholders, the Board recommended, and the stockholders approved, ~~at our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders,~~ that such advisory vote would be conducted ~~once~~ every year.

As described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of these proxy materials, the primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to (i) attract and retain an exceptional executive team needed to outperform our peers and execute our strategy;, (ii) drive our short- and long-term growth ~~objectives,~~objectives; (iii) align the interests of our executive team with that of our ~~shareholders~~shareholders; and (iv) promote a performance orientation within the organization. The foregoing objectives are applicable to the compensation of our named executive officers. We urge our stockholders to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above and the compensation tables and narrative discussion included in that section for more information.

We believe that our executive compensation program achieves these objectives by balancing multiple compensation elements, while keeping an appropriate portion of compensation “at risk,” which has enabled us to successfully motivate and reward the named executive officers. We believe such program is appropriate in light of our overall compensation philosophy and objectives and has played an essential role in our continued growth and financial success by aligning the long-term interests of the named executive officers with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

For these reasons, the Board recommends a vote in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2021,~~28, 2023, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon us. Notwithstanding the advisory nature of this vote, the Compensation Committee values the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal, and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers. Furthermore, stockholders are welcome to bring any specific concerns regarding executive compensation to the attention of the Board at any time throughout the year. Please refer to “Other Board Information — Stockholder and Interested Party Communications” above for information about communicating with the Board.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to approve this Proposal 3.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER ~~30, 2021,~~28, 2023, AS DISCLOSED IN THESE PROXY MATERIALS.

ADVISORY VOTE ON SAY-ON-FREQUENCY VOTE (PROPOSAL 4)

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added by the Dodd-Frank Act and the related SEC rules promulgated thereunder, we are seeking the input of our stockholders on the frequency with which we will hold a non-binding, advisory vote by our stockholders to approve the compensation of our NEOs (commonly known as a “say-on-frequency” vote). In voting on this Proposal 4, stockholders are provided with four choices: stockholders may indicate their preference as to whether the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the NEOs should occur every year, every two years or every three years or stockholders may abstain from making a recommendation.

Our prior Say on Frequency vote occurred in 2018, with the majority of stockholders voting to hold the advisory Say on Pay vote every year. As such, we have sought an advisory Say on Pay vote annually since 2018, and we believe that seeking an advisory Say on Pay vote every year remains the best choice for the Company and its stockholders at the present time because it will allow our stockholders to continue to provide frequent, direct input on our compensation policies and practices, and the resulting compensation for our NEOs. Stockholders will continue to have the opportunity to consider our most recent compensation decisions in the context of our pay for performance policy and focus on increasing long-term stockholder value, and to provide feedback to us in a timely way. Finally, the Board believes an annual advisory stockholder vote promotes corporate transparency.

While the Board has determined that the say-on-pay vote shall be held annually, stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove of the Board’s determination. Rather, stockholders are being provided with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote through the resolution set forth above. As an advisory vote, the result of the vote is not binding. However, the Board values the opinions of our stockholders in their vote on this matter, and will consider the outcome of the vote when making a determination as to the frequency of future advisory votes to approve executive compensation.

The alternative receiving the greatest number of votes (once every one year, two years or three years) will be the resulting recommendation, on an advisory basis, of our stockholders.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, TO RECOMMEND HOLDING THE SAY-ON-PAY VOTEONCE EVERY YEAR.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March ~~17, 2022,~~13, 2024, by:

•

each of our directors and NEOs;

•

all of our directors, director nominees, executive officers and certain other officers as a group; and

•

each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Class A common stock.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March ~~17, 2022.~~13, 2024. Shares issuable pursuant to options are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options, but are not outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Class A common stock shown that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed below is c/o Floor and Decor Holdings, Inc., 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway, SE, Atlanta, GA 30339.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of our common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Householding Of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries to satisfy delivery requirements for notices of Internet availability of proxy materials and, if applicable, proxy statements and annual reports to stockholders, with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of the material addressed to those stockholders. This process, commonly referred to as “householding,” is designed to reduce duplicate printing and postage costs. We and some brokers may household notices of Internet availability of proxy materials and, if applicable, annual reports to stockholders and proxy materials, by delivering a single copy of the material to multiple stockholders sharing the same address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.

If a stockholder wishes in the future to receive a separate notice of Internet availability of proxy materials or, if applicable, the annual report to stockholders and proxy statement, or if a stockholder received multiple copies of some or all of these materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, the stockholder should submit a request by telephone or in writing to the stockholder’s broker if the shares are held in a brokerage account or, if the shares are registered in the name of the stockholder, to our transfer agent, ~~American Stock Transfer &~~Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, ~~6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.~~55 Challenger Rd, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660, telephone number 800-937-5449. We promptly will send additional copies of the relevant material following receipt of a request for additional copies.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Under U.S. securities laws, directors, certain officers and persons holding more than 10% of our common stock must report their initial ownership of our common stock and any changes in their ownership to the SEC. The SEC has designated specific due dates for these reports and we must identify in this Proxy Statement those persons who did not file these reports when due. Based solely on our review of copies of the reports filed with the SEC and the written representations of our directors and executive officers, we believe that all reporting requirements for fiscal year 2023 and as of the date of this Proxy Statement were complied with by each person who at any time during the 2023 fiscal year was a director or an executive officer or held more than 10% of our common stock, with the exception of (i) one report on Form 4 filed by Brian Robbins related to an inadvertent failure to report the exercise of 19,504 options on February 28, 2023 on the timely-filed Form 4 reporting the sale of shares acquired in connection with such exercise and (ii) one report on Form 4 filed by Bryan Langley related to an inadvertent failure to report the exercise of 5,685 options on February 27, 2024 on the timely-filed Form 4 reporting the sale of shares acquired in connection with such exercise.
