To be valid, a form of proxy must be submitted in accordance with the instructions set out in the section entitled “2023“2024 Annual General Meeting InformationInformation” on page 2.

2022 marked a key year for Luxfer, as we advancedI would like to take this opportunity to reflect on our mission to “help to create a safe, clean and energy efficient world.” I am pleased to share some of the many accomplishments of the past year on which my fellow Board members and I have collaborated.

The Boardoutline our vision for the future. Despite facing unprecedented challenges in 2023, we remained committed to our long-term strategy to create shareholder and customer value through the development and supply of sustainable transportation solutions and life-saving defense, medical and emergency response equipment. Throughout 2023, we continued to affirmserve niche end markets, where our technical know-how and manufacturing expertise combine to deliver a superior product. While we launched innovative products and entered new markets across a range of applications, several factors adversely impacted Luxfer’s positive longperformance in 2023, especially in the second half of the year. Record-term-high trajectory with the appointment of Andy Butcher as CEOinput costs for key raw materials presented significant challenges for our global operations and commercial teams to remain competitive without sacrificing market share. Additionally, our Elektron business experienced low demand in May of 2022, following the appointment of Stephen Webster as CFOkey end markets. Despite these obstacles, our Gas Cylinders segment saw solid growth, particularly in March of 2022. These experienced and internally promoted executives, as well as our broader leadership team, are helping to drive our business through a transition towards profitable growth.self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) applications.

Although Graphic Arts is a quality business that delivers valuable products supported by an outstanding team, the business is not central to Luxfer’s strategic direction. In addition to the tactical optimization steps previously outlined, we are also highly encouraged by the opportunities aligned with megatrends, such as the dividend.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

A MESSAGE FROM OUR

CEO

Andy Butcher

Chief Executive 
Officer

Dear Luxfer Shareholders,

Reflecting on 2023 requires looking at accomplishments while acknowledging a period of adversity. The start to the year was in line with our expectations, including a strong and broad-based uplift from our Defense, First Response, and Healthcare offerings. During the second half of the year, however, Luxfer faced significant challenges and took proactive steps towards unlocking shareholder value and positioning the business for sustainable long-term growth, a focus that we are continuing in 2024.

For the full year 2023, our Net Sales were $373.5 million with Adjusted EBITDA of $43.3 million.1 We encountered lower sales and profitability in the last six months of 2023, primarily driven by high raw material input costs and lower demand in key Elektron end markets. Despite these headwinds, our business delivered strong cash flow throughout the year. We ended 2023 with a strong balance sheet, Net Debt at $69.9 million and Net Debt Leverage of 1.6x.1

Strategic Review & 2023 Highlights and Achievements

Recognizing the urgency to address cost and demand issues, our Board of Directors and Executive Leadership Team embarked on a comprehensive strategic review to identify opportunities for improvement.

As a result of the strategic review, we made three important decisions. First, we determined that the Graphic Arts business is not central to Luxfer’s go-forward strategy and does not align with our value proposition. Second, our revised internal Strategic Growth plan offers strong upside, and we remain highly encouraged by the opportunities for improved performance over the next few years. And third, the Gas Cylinders and Elektron segments have no significant strategic synergies, but there is no immediate need to separate them.

Throughout this review process, I have been immensely proud of all our global leaders and associates, including all those in Graphic Arts. Our teams have remained focused and committed to putting the Customer First, while taking Accountability for driving improvements, two of Luxfer’s core values. Their dedication, resolve, and creative thinking were instrumental in delivering key actions that are strengthening our business.

In Gas Cylinders, we further solidified our position in the global first responder market, extending long-term agreements with our largest customers. These agreements underscore the value our customers place on our expertise and technological know-how. We invested in our new bulk gas transportation module facility in the UK, which is slated to come online towards the end of 2024, with future capacity for revenues of up to $40 million annually. Moreover, I am enthusiastic about the future growth opportunities in the North American CNG clean energy sector, especially with the Boardrecent developments in new engine design expected to launch in 2024.

I am also optimistic about future revenue projections for the Elektron segment. Here, we continue to develop our products and managementcapabilities for the important Defense, Aerospace, and Clean Energy markets. Additionally, we have strategically positioned this segment to operate with an improved cost base; thanks to the recent consolidation program implemented across two of our facilities. A bright future is ahead for all these businesses.

Looking Ahead

At the heart of our strategic decisions lies our mission to help to create a safe, clean, and energy-efficient world. This is our guiding principle, driving us to innovate and deliver further progress towards meeting our 2025 Environmental Goals.

Luxfer accomplished much in 2022, which marked the Company’s 125th anniversary since founding and 10th anniversary since listing on the New York Stock Exchange. I look forward to sustaining this momentum in the years ahead, as the Company makes progress on our journey to sustainably grow shareholder value.

The Board considers all resolutions set out in the Notice to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders and believessolutions that such resolutions are likely to contribute to a better future for all.

We are already seeing some relief in some raw material pricing in 2024, especially with magnesium, which is helpful. We are actively pursuing future business growth aligned with macro trends in clean energy, aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. I am increasingly confident in our ability to increase margins and profitability as we move forward.

As we embrace the Company’s success. Accordingly, the Board recommends that you voteopportunities ahead, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support and confidence in favor of each resolution being put before the shareholders at the AGM, in the same way as the Directors intend to vote their own shareholdings.our company. Thank you for being a Luxfer shareholder.

Sincerely,

Patrick K. Mullen

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

A MESSAGE FROM OUR

CEO

  

Andy Butcher

Chief Executive Officer

Dear Luxfer Shareholders,

Luxfer’s executional focus proved indispensable throughout 2022, amid challenging supply chain conditions, unprecedented price inflation in many of our key inputs, and an evolving macroeconomic backdrop. Our teamwork and our customer-first approach formed the cornerstones of our revenue and profit expansion. I am grateful for the dedication, resolve, and creative thinking that our 1,350 employees demonstrated in the last year. Combined with our technical expertise, commitment to operational excellence, and balanced approach to capital deployment, these same factors will drive Luxfer’s success in 2023 and beyond.

As you know, we are focused on delivering profitable growth through product innovation. In the last year, we made significant progress in the development of our composite cylinders for on-board hydrogen storage in vehicles, converting prototypes to initial production quantity orders from several customers. This progress affirms our long-term optimism for growth in Clean Energy. The Inflation Reduction Act passed in August 2022 should bring intermediate to long-term investment in US hydrogen infrastructure and related incremental tailwinds to our business, including our lightweight cylinder offering. Our research and development investment in magnesium alloys led to the recent debut of Marathon Mag® photoengraving plate, which has industry-leading durability and performance attributes. Strong demand for our zirconium products from a wide range of applications, including automotive and industrial catalysis, technology, and healthcare, also added visibility to our business plan.

Our differentiated product offering and commercial execution drove Luxfer’s financial success in 2022, headlined by a 13% expansion in sales. This top line increase, in turn, helped us drive 8% growth in GAAP EPS from continuing operations and 5% growth in adjusted EPS. We also reinforced our resilient capital position, ending the year with net debt to EBITDA of 1.1x and $81 million in available liquidity. Luxfer continued to reward its shareholders, returning $25 million in capital in the form of dividends and share buybacks. I am proud of these and many other accomplishments of our team over the last year.1

We remain focused on advancing towards our goal of delivering $2.00 or more in adjusted EPS in 2025 against the backdrop of increasingly mixed cyclical indicators. We have made substantial progress in implementing the Luxfer Business System, which drives best practice across six key areas and will serve as a key tool to realize the growth potential embedded in our business. We are investing in personnel to accelerate new product development. We are increasing capacity at key facilities where strong demand has pushed the limits of our current processes, and we are cultivating Luxfer’s future leaders with our management development program. At the same time, we are furthering our commitments to sustainability, diversity, and inclusion, benefiting our communities and all of our stakeholders.

Luxfer’s mission to “help to create a safe, clean, and energy efficient world” continues to grow in both importance and opportunity. With our world-class people and industry leading product portfolio, we are poised to execute on a long runway of profitable growth.

Thank you for being a Luxfer shareholder.

Sincerely,

Andy Butcher
Chief Executive Officer

SHAREHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

In addition to furnishing proxy materials electronically, we take advantage of the SEC’s “householding” rules to reduce the delivery cost of materials. Under such rules, only one set of proxy materials is delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders.

If you are a shareholder sharing an address and wish to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, you may so request by contacting Computershare by phone at 1-866-641-4276 or by email at investorvote@computershare.com (please include “Proxy Materials Luxfer Holdings PLC” in the subject line and include your full name and address). A separate copy will be promptly provided following receipt of your request, and you will receive separate materials in the future.

If you currently share an address with another shareholder but are nonetheless receiving separate copies of the materials, you may request delivery of a single copy in the future by contacting Computershare at the phone number or email address provided above.

The meeting will be held at the Luxfer MEL Technologies site, which is located at Lumns Lane, Manchester, M27 8LN, United Kingdom, on June 7, 2023,6, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. BST.

The following are questions that Luxfer shareholders may have regarding the proposals being considered at the Annual General Meeting and brief answers to those questions. Luxfer urges you to carefully read this entire Proxy Statement and the appendices, as the information in this section does not provide all information that may be important to you.

Q:        Who can vote at the Luxfer Annual General Meeting?

A:         The Board has set the close of business, Eastern Daylight Time, on April 19, 2023,17, 2024, as the Voting Record Date for the Annual General Meeting. At the close of business on the Voting Record Date, we had 27,596,234[•] ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on each matter that is properly brought before the Annual General Meeting.

Q:        What is a proxy statement and what is a proxy?

A:         A proxy statement is a document that US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations require us to provide when we ask you to sign a proxy designating individuals to vote on your behalf. A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote on your behalf. By voting your proxy, you are giving the persons named on the proxy card the authority to vote your shares in the manner you indicate on your proxy card. You may vote your proxy over the internet, by phone, or by signing and dating the proxy card and submitting it by mail.

A:         The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “for” Resolutions 1 - 89 and 101113,15, and “every 1 year” for Resolution 9.10.

Q:        What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner?

A:         If your shares are registered directly in your name with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”), you are a “shareholder of record.” If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other custodian, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name.” As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other custodian on how to vote your shares.

Q:        How do I vote my shares?

A:         Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote promptly, which may save us the expense of a second mailing. If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares in any of the following ways:

        By Internet. You may vote your shares via the website www.envisionreports.com/www.envisionreports.com/LXFR. You may vote via the internet 24 hours a day through 6:00 p.m. EDT on June 6, 20235, 2024 (11:00 p.m. BST on June 6, 2023)5, 2024). You may confirm that the system has properly recorded your vote. If you vote via the internet, you do not need to mail a proxy card. You may incur costs, such as internet access charges, if you vote online.

        By Phone. Holders within the US, US territories, and Canada may vote their shares toll free by calling 1-800-652-VOTE (8683).

        By Mail. You may vote your shares by marking, dating, and signing your proxy card and returning it by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

        In Person at the Annual General Meeting. If you are a registered shareholder and choose not to vote via the internet, phone, or by mail, you may still attend the meeting and vote in person. If you vote prior to the meeting, you may still attend the meeting and vote in person.

If you are a beneficial holder, the instructions that accompany your proxy materials will indicate how you may vote. If you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, you must bring a legal proxy from the organization that holds your Luxfer ordinary shares or a brokerage statement showing ownership of Luxfer ordinary shares as of the close of business, Eastern Daylight Time, on the Voting Record Date.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

Q:        What is the deadline to vote my shares if I do not vote in person at the Annual General Meeting?

A:         If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by internet or phone until 6:00 p.m. EDT on June 6, 20235, 2024 (11:00 p.m. BST on June 6, 2023)5, 2024) or, if you are a shareholder of record and submit a proxy card by mail, the proxy card must be received at the address stated on the proxy card by June 6, 2023.5, 2024. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, or other custodian.

Q:        How do I attend the Annual General Meeting?

A:         All shareholders of record, whether registered or beneficial, as of the close of business, Eastern Daylight Time, on the Voting Record Date are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting. Representatives of institutional shareholders must bring a legal proxy or other proof that they are representatives of an institution that held shares as of the close of business, Eastern Daylight Time, on the Voting Record Date and are authorized to vote on behalf of such institution.

Page 6

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

Q:        May I change or revoke my proxy?

A:         If you are a shareholder of record and have already voted, you may change or revoke your proxy before it is exercised at the Annual General Meeting in the following ways:

        By voting via internet or phone at a later date than your previous vote but prior to the voting deadline of 6:00 p.m. EDT on June 6, 20235, 2024 (11:00 p.m. BST on June 6, 2023)5, 2024);

        By mailing a proxy card that is properly signed and dated later than your previous vote and that is received by June 6, 2023;5, 2024; or

        By attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person.

If you are a beneficial owner, you must contact the record holder of your shares to revoke a previously authorized proxy or voting instructions.

Q:        If my Luxfer ordinary shares are held in “street name” by my broker, bank, or other custodian, will my broker, bank, or other custodian vote my shares for me?

A:         Yes. If your Luxfer ordinary shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank, or other custodian, only that holder can vote your Luxfer ordinary shares, and the vote cannot be cast unless you provide instructions to your broker, bank, or other custodian or obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank, or other custodian. Please follow the directions provided by your broker, bank, or other custodian regarding how to instruct such person to vote your Luxfer ordinary shares.

Q:        What is the effect of broker non-votesnon-votes and abstentions?

A:         A broker non-votenon-vote occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular agenda item because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Although brokers have discretionary power to vote your shares with respect to “routine” matters, they do not have discretionary power to vote your shares on “non-routine”“non-routine matters pursuant to NYSE rules. If you do not provide voting instructions for matters considered “non-routine,“non-routine,” a broker non-votenon-vote occurs. If a broker does not receive voting instructions from you regarding non-routinenon-routine matters, the broker non-votenon-vote will have no effect on the vote on such agenda items. For example, the ratification of the selection of the independent auditor is considered a routine matter, and your broker can vote for or against this resolution at its discretion, but the election of Directors is not considered routine for these purposes.

Q:        How will my shares be voted if I do not specify how they should be voted?

A:         If you submit a proxy to Luxfer-designatedLuxfer-designated proxy holders and do not provide specific voting instructions, you instruct Luxfer-designatedLuxfer-designated proxy holders to vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

Q:        How will voting on any other business be conducted?

A:         Other than matters incidental to the conduct of the Annual General Meeting and those set forth in this Proxy Statement, we do not know of any business or proposals to be considered at the Annual General Meeting. If any other business is proposed and properly presented at the Annual General Meeting, you instruct Luxfer-designatedLuxfer-designated proxy holders, in the absence of other specific instructions or the appointment of other proxy holders, to vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.

Q:        What constitutes a quorum for the Annual General Meeting?

A:         A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting of shareholders. Our Articles of Association require a quorum of two members present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote in order to transact business at a general meeting. A shareholder that is a company is to be considered present if it is represented by a duly authorized representative.

Page 7

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum if you submit a proxy or vote at the Annual General Meeting. If there is not a quorum, the Annual General Meeting shall be adjourned to another day (being not less than 10 days later, excluding the day on which the meeting is adjourned and the day for which it is reconvened) and at such other time or place as the Chair of the meeting may decide.

Q:        What happens if the Annual General Meeting is adjourned or postponed?

A:         Your proxy will still be effective and will be voted at the rescheduled Annual General Meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted.

Q:        How can I find the results of the Annual General Meeting?

A:         Preliminary results will be announced at the Annual General Meeting. Results will also be published in a current report on Form 8-K8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the meeting. If the official results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K8-K as soon as they become available.

Q:        Why did I receive more than one set of proxy materials or multiple proxy cards?

A:         You may have received multiple sets of proxy materials if you hold your shares in different ways or accounts (for example, 401(k) accounts, joint tenancy, trusts, custodial accounts) or in multiple accounts. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” you will receive your voting information from your bank, broker, or other custodian, and you will vote in accordance with the instructions set forth in the materials you receive from your bank, broker, or other custodian. Please vote your proxy for each separate account you have.

Q:        Why did my household receive only one copy of the proxy materials?

A:         We take advantage of the SEC’s “householding” rules to reduce the delivery cost of materials. Under such rules, only one set of proxy materials is delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. If you are a shareholder sharing an address and wish to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, you may so request by contacting Computershare by phone at 1-866-641-42761-866-641-4276 or by email at investorvote@computershare.com (please include “Proxy Materials Luxfer Holdings PLC” in the subject line and include your full name and address).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS

Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate behaviors that cultivate sustainable growth and shareholder value creation, provide rewards commensurate with individual and Company performance, reward executives for achieving financial and strategic objectives, and provide an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term and fixed and variable pay. The majorityA substantial portion of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation is variable and contingent on performance. In designing our executive compensation program, establishing performance measures, and setting executive compensation packages, we conduct benchmarking analyses, no less frequently than every three years but oftentimes annually, to ensure compensation is competitive with market practices. Total compensation packages, as well as base salary, annual cash incentive opportunities, and target equity awards, are evaluated against compensation levels at our comparative peer group companies. While target incentive opportunities are set by reference to a comparable market rate, our incentive plans provide for payouts to be based upon performance, which can result in payouts above or below target levels. Our compensation programs are designed to provide an appropriate balance of short and long-term compensation, fixed and variable pay, and cash and equity-based compensation, as well as reflect our philosophy of providing pay for performance.

_____________

(1)Reflects the compensation earned by the Named Executive Officers in 2023, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table on page 83, except with respect to the annual cash incentive, which reflects the target cash incentive applicable to each Named Executive Officer. Reference to the target cash incentive, rather than the cash incentive earned in 2023, more accurately depicts the intended 2023 executive compensation structure.

(2)Calculated as an average of the compensation earned by Stephen Webster, Howard Mead, Jeffrey Moorefield, and Graham Wardlow in 2023, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table on page 83, except with respect to the annual cash incentive, which reflects the target cash incentive applicable to each Named Executive Officer. Reference to the target cash incentive, rather than the cash incentive earned in 2023, more accurately depicts the intended 2023 executive compensation structure.

Despite achieving Maximum Cash Conversion, the Company as a whole achieved Management EBITA and Cash ConversionRevenue at levels below Target, with Management EBITA exceeding the Threshold level but falling below Target level and Cash Conversion falling below Threshold. Lower cash incentive payouts were driven by unprecedented increaseschallenging market conditions, including high raw material prices in the cost of raw materials,magnesium and carbon fiber and continued weakness in global industrial demand, which placed considerable pressure on delivery of Management EBITA and Cash ConversionRevenue in many business units. The performance periods with respect to the performance-based equity awards remain ongoing.ongoing; however, the Company did not achieve any EPS Growth in 2023 and the Company’s relative TSR performance as of December 31, 2023 was in the First Quartile.2 These Executive Compensation Highlights should be read in connection with the executive compensation information included in this Proxy Statement, including the sections entitled “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation Tables” on pages 4754 through 82.89.

RESOLUTION 7

APPROVAL OF DIRECTORS’
REMUNERATION POLICY

As required by sections 439 and 440 of the Companies Act, a company incorporated in England and Wales whose shares are publicly listed, whether in or outside of the UK, must submit its Directors’ Remuneration Policy to a binding shareholder vote at least once every three (3) years. The Directors’ Remuneration Policy was last approved at the 2021 Annual General Meeting, where 99.76% of the votes cast were cast in favor of approving the Directors’ Remuneration Policy. The Company’s proposed Directors’ Remuneration Policy is set out in the UK Annual Report and Accounts and is reproduced in Appendix B of this Proxy Statement.

Director remuneration is an important matter to the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee, and our shareholders. The Directors’ Remuneration Policy sets forth the Company’s forward-looking policy in relation to Director remuneration and describes the various components of the Executive and Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration. We believe our Director remuneration program provides competitive remuneration that motivates and rewards Directors for achieving strategic objectives that create long-term shareholder value.

The key proposed changes to the Directors’ Remuneration Policy are as follows:

an increase in the maximum amount of equity awards that may be awarded to Non-Executive Directors, from 100% of the Non-Executive Director’s annual retainer fee to 150%; and

to ensure consistent application, removal of the clawback policies set forth in the Remuneration Policy, given that the Company maintains other policies related to the recovery of incentive or performance-based compensation, which are set forth in a standalone Executive Compensation Clawback Policy adopted in accordance with section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, as well as award agreements applicable to equity awards and other incentive-based compensation issued pursuant to the Company’s Long-Term Umbrella Incentive Plan and Non-Executive Directors Equity Incentive Plan.

In accordance with the Companies Act, the Directors’ Remuneration Policy has been approved by, and signed on behalf of, the Board of Directors, and, if approved, will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales following the Annual General Meeting. Subject to shareholder approval, the Directors’ Remuneration Policy will take effect immediately following the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, without requiring further shareholder action. Once the Directors’ Remuneration Policy is approved, the Company may not make any remuneration payment to a current or prospective Director unless that payment is consistent with the Directors’ Remuneration Policy or has been approved by a separate shareholder resolution. Subject to approval and provided the Directors’ Remuneration Policy remains unchanged, it is valid for up to three (3) years. In the event the Directors’ Remuneration Policy is not approved for any reason, the Company will, to the extent permitted by the Companies Act, continue to make payments to Directors in accordance with the existing Directors’ Remuneration Policy and seek shareholder approval of a further revised Policy as soon as reasonably practical.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution. The text of Resolution 7 is as follows:

7.IT IS RESOLVED that the Directors’ Remuneration Policy be approved.

Approval of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting.

Executive compensation is an important matter to the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee, and our shareholders.

The Remuneration Committee has overseen the development and implementation of our executive compensation program in line with the foregoing compensation objectives. The Remuneration Committee also continuously reviews, evaluates, and updates our executive compensation program to ensure that we provide competitive compensation that motivates the Named Executive Officers and other key executives to perform at their highest levels, while increasing value to our shareholders.

FREQUENCY OF “SAY-ON-PAY”
“SAY-ON-PAY”
VOTES

In accordance with the requirements of Sectionsection 14A of the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934as amended, and the related rules of the SEC and NYSE, our shareholders have the opportunity to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. Resolution 910 affords shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on how often we should include a say-on-pay proposal in our proxy materials for future annual shareholder meetings or any special shareholder meeting for which we must include executive compensation information in that meeting’s proxy statement (a “Say-on-Pay Vote”). Under this Resolution 9,10, shareholders may vote to hold a Say-on-Pay Vote every year, every two years, or every three years.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on Luxfer, the Board of Directors, or the Remuneration Committee. However, the Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee value the opinions expressed by shareholders in their votes on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of conducting Say-on-Pay Votes.

At the 20222023 Annual General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted to hold a Say-on-Pay Vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers every 1 year, consistent with the recommendation of the Board. In light of these results and other factors, on June 8, 2022,7, 2023, the Board resolved that it would hold an advisory vote on the compensation of its Named Executive Officers every 1 year until the Board holds the next shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay Votes, which shallwill occur at the 20232024 Annual General Meeting. It is expected that the next Say-on-Pay Vote will occur at the 20242025 Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 910 is an ordinary resolution. The text of Resolution 910 is as follows:

9.10. IT IS RESOLVED, by non-binding advisory vote, that a Say-on-Pay Vote be held every 1 year.

As Resolution 910 is an advisory vote, the result of the vote is advisory only and will not be legally binding on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof to take or refrain from taking any action. However, our Board values the opinions of our shareholders as expressed through advisory votes and other communications and will carefully consider the outcome of the advisory vote.

RESOLUTION 1011

APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

The Audit Committee has selected and appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.2024. The Board, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, is asking Luxfer shareholders to ratify the re-appointment of PwC as the Independent Auditor of the Company. Although approval is not required by our Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is submitting the re-appointment of PwC to our shareholders because we value our shareholders’ views on our Independent Auditor. If the re-appointment of PwC is not ratified by shareholders, it will be considered a notice to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different Independent Auditor at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. In accordance with the Companies Act, any appointment of the Company’s Independent Auditor will continue to be subject to shareholder ratification.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, remuneration, retention, and oversight of the Independent Auditor retained to audit the Company’s financial statements. PwC has been retained as the Company’s Independent Auditor since 2015. In determining whether to re-appoint PwC as the Company’s Independent Auditor, the Audit Committee took into account a number of factors, including PwC’s independence and objectivity; PwC’s capability and expertise in handling our industry, including the expertise and capability of the lead engagement partner; historic and recent performance, including the extent and quality of PwC’s communications with the Audit Committee; the results of management and Audit Committee evaluations of PwC’s overall performance; the appropriateness of PwC’s fees, both on an absolute basis and as compared with its peers; and the length of time that PwC has been engaged. Consistent with regular rotation requirements, a new lead engagement partner was appointed to lead PwC’s audit of Luxfer’s financial statements in 2020.for fiscal year 2024. The members of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the continued retention of PwC as the Company’s Independent Auditor is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

We expect that a representative of PwC will be present at the Annual General Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires,they so desire, as well as be available to respond to any questions.

Resolution 1011 is an ordinary resolution. The text of Resolution 1011 is as follows:

10.11. IT IS RESOLVEDthat the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Independent Auditor of the Company untilthrough conclusion of the 20242025 Annual General Meeting be ratified.

RESOLUTION 1213

APPROVAL OF THE SECOND
AMENDED AND RESTATED
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

As an important retention tool and to align the long-term financial interests of the Company’s Non-Executive Directors with those of our shareholders, we maintain the Luxfer Holdings PLC Non-Executive Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The EIP, as amended and restated on June 8, 2022, was approved by 94.5% of the votes cast at our 2022 Annual General Meeting. As background, the EIP, as amended and restated on June 8, 2022, provides that (i) its term will end on June 8, 2032; (ii) a maximum of 150,000 of our ordinary shares (“Shares”) can be issued with respect to awards granted under the EIP on or after June 8, 2022; and (iii) the value of annual non-discretionary equity awards granted to Non-Executive Directors may not exceed 100% of such Director’s annual cash retainer fee. As of April 1, 2024, approximately 90,700 Shares remained available for future grants under the EIP.

Because awards to Non-Executive Directors are structured as a percentage of their annual cash retainer fee and the Company’s Share price has fluctuated since the EIP was last approved by our shareholders, the pool of Shares available to satisfy awards will likely be exhausted by 2025. Furthermore, to increase the competitiveness of our Non-Executive Director remuneration program, the Remuneration Committee and the Board has proposed a $20,000 increase in the maximum value of non-discretionary equity awards that may be awarded to Non-Executive Directors under the EIP, which will slightly increase our Share usage under the EIP.

Given that equity awards are a key component of our Non-Executive Director compensation program and essential in attracting, retaining, and compensating qualified Non-Executive Directors, the Board believes that it would be in the best interest of our shareholders to approve a second amendment and restatement of the EIP to (i) extend the term of the EIP through June 6, 2034; (ii) increase the aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance under the EIP to 450,000 Shares (i.e. an increase of 300,000 Shares); and (iii) increase the maximum annual equity awards that may be awarded to Non-Executive Directors to 150% of such Director’s annual cash retainer fee (as so amended and restated, the “Second Amended and Restated EIP”). In accordance with the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires a company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange to submit material revisions to equity compensation plans to a shareholder vote, the Board submits this Resolution 13 to shareholders to approve the Second Amended and Restated EIP.

As a reminder, the EIP already includes the following best practices, all of which would remain part of the Second Amended and Restated EIP that we are proposing shareholders approve:

Prohibition on Repricing. The EIP explicitly prohibits repricing of Awards, including any Award granted in substitution for outstanding Awards previously granted if such action would be considered repricing.

Separate Fixed Pool. The aggregate number of Shares available under the EIP is fixed and separate from the Shares available under the Company’s other equity plans. The EIP does not contain an “evergreen” provision that would automatically increase the number of Shares available for issuance.

No Liberal Share Recycling. The EIP provides that any Shares (i) surrendered to pay the exercise price of an Option, (ii) withheld by the Company or tendered by the Participant to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to any Award, or (iii) purchased by the Company using Option exercise proceeds will not be added back, or recycled, to the EIP.

No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents Paid on Unvested Awards. The EIP prohibits the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on Awards until those Awards are earned and vested.

If this Resolution 13 is approved by shareholders, then the Second Amended and Restated EIP will govern the grant of Awards on or after June 6, 2024. If shareholders do not approve this Resolution13, then the EIP, as amended and restated on June 8, 2022, will remain in effect, and we would continue to grant awards to Non-Executive Directors thereunder until the existing Share pool is exhausted, at which time the Board would be required to devise other programs to attract, retain, and compensate the Company’s Non-Executive Directors.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL TERMS OF THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EIP

The following is a summary of the key terms of the Second Amended and Restated EIP. A copy of the Second Amended and Restated EIP, which shows the proposed revisions by way of comparison against the EIP, as amended and restated on June 8, 2022, is attached hereto as Appendix C and incorporated herein. The information regarding the Second Amended and Restated EIP set forth in this Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the Second Amended and Restated EIP. Any inconsistencies between the information set forth herein and the text of the Second Amended and Restated EIP shall be governed by the text of the Second Amended and Restated EIP.

Purpose

The purpose of the Second Amended and Restated EIP is to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by allowing the Company to attract and retain highly qualified Non-Executive Directors by permitting them to obtain or increase their proprietary interest in the Company.

Term

Unless the Second Amended and Restated EIP is earlier terminated by the Board, Awards may be granted thereunder until June 6, 2034.

Types of Awards

The Second Amended and Restated EIP allows for the grant of (i) stock options (“Options”); (ii) restricted Shares (“Restricted Stock Awards”); and (iii) restricted stock units, which represent the right to receive Shares (or the value thereof) in the future (“RSUs”) (collectively referred to as “Awards”). The terms of these Awards are described in more detail below.

Administration

The Board (or other committee as the Board may appoint) (either, the “Committee”) will administer the Second Amended and Restated EIP. Consistent with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated EIP, the Committee will have the power to designate the type and other terms and conditions of Awards; interpret the terms and provisions of the Second Amended and Restated EIP and Award Agreements; accelerate the exercise, vesting, or transfer of Awards; extend the term of Awards; provide for the crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to an Award; waive any conditions to exercise, vesting, or transferability of Awards; and execute certain other actions authorized under the Second Amended and Restated EIP.

Eligibility

Any member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company (each, a “Non-Executive Director”) is eligible to receive Awards under the Second Amended and Restated EIP (such a Non-Executive Director who receives an Award is referred to herein as a “Participant”). As of April 1, 2024, the Company had five Non-Executive Directors, all of whom would be eligible for Awards under the Second Amended and Restated EIP.

Available Shares

The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Awards granted under the Second Amended and Restated EIP on or after June 8, 2022 shall not exceed 450,000 Shares, subject to adjustments due to recapitalization, reclassification, or other corporate events, as provided in the Second Amended and Restated EIP. If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, if any Award or any portion of an Award lapses or expires, or if any Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part) in accordance with its terms, the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, lapse, expiration, or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Second Amended and Restated EIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall not be added to the Shares authorized for grant and shall not be available for future grants of Awards: (i) Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (ii) Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to any Award; and (iii) Shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of Options. As of April 1, 2024, the market value of a Share was $10.40, representing the closing price on the NYSE on such day.

Awards

•  Non-Discretionary Grants. Each calendar year during the term of the Second Amended and Restated EIP, within 10 days of the Company’s annual general meeting, on a date determined by the Committee (the “Award Grant Date”), each Non-Executive Director who is acting as a director of the Company on the Award Grant Date and who has at the Award Grant Date been acting as a director of the Company for at least six months after his or her initial appointment or election shall receive an Award of up to 150% of such director’s annual cash retainer

fee. In the event a Non-Executive Director has not been acting as a director of the Company for at least six months on the Award Grant Date, the annual fee earned in that year and payable in Awards shall be included in the Awards in respect of the following calendar year. The Committee will select the type (or types) of Awards that will be granted to the Non-Executive Directors each year from the available Award types under the Plan (Options, Restricted Stock, and RSUs).

Options. The Committee determines the number of Shares subject to an Option, the exercise price, vesting conditions, and all other terms and conditions of the Option, provided that (i) the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of a Share as of the Award Grant Date with respect to any Option granted to a Participant that is a U.S. taxpayer and (ii) Options may not be exercised later than ten years from the Award Grant Date. The Committee will determine the methods and form of payment for the exercise price of an Option (including, in the discretion of the Committee, net physical settlement or other method of cashless exercise). Subject to the Committee’s discretion, upon a Participant ceasing to be a director of the Company for any reason other than for “cause” (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated EIP), the portion of any Option that has not become vested or exercisable will lapse immediately, and, except as otherwise provided in the Second Amended and Restated EIP or in the applicable Award Agreement, the portion of any Option that is or becomes vested or exercisable as of the date the Participant ceases to be a director will lapse on the first anniversary of such date to the extent not theretofore exercised. If the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company for “cause,” all Shares subject to an Option will lapse immediately.

Restricted Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock Award is a grant of Shares subject to vesting conditions, restrictions on transferability, and any other restrictions determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, the holder of a Restricted Stock Award will have the right to vote the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award during the vesting period. Subject to the discretion of the Committee, if the Participant ceases to be a director of the Committee for any reason, any unvested Restricted Stock Awards will be forfeited immediately.

RSUs. RSUs are rights to receive a number of Shares subject to the Award or the value thereof as of the specified date. The Committee may subject RSUs to restrictions specified in the Award Agreement. RSUs may be settled by the delivery of Shares or cash equal to the fair market value of the specified number of Shares covered by the RSUs, or any combination thereof determined by the Committee at the Award Grant Date. Subject to the discretion of the Committee, if the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason, any unvested RSUs will be forfeited immediately.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. No dividends or dividend equivalents will be paid to a Participant with respect to unvested Restricted Stock or RSUs. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock and RSUs subject to the same restrictions, including but not limited to vesting, transferability or payment restrictions, that apply to the Restricted Stock and RSUs to which they relate. For clarity, no Option granted under the Second Amended and Restated EIP may include the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents.

Miscellaneous

Tax Withholding. Subject to the Committee’s approval, statutory tax withholding with respect to an Award may be satisfied by withholding from any payment related to an Award, by withholding Shares deliverable pursuant to the Award, or by tender by the Participant of Shares owned by such Participant for at least six months.

Mergers, Certain Changes in Capital Structure, or Change in Control. If any change is made to our capital structure without fair market value consideration, such as a stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification, or similar change, which results in a change in the number of outstanding Shares or an extraordinary cash dividend or distribution, appropriate adjustments may be made by the Committee to (i) the number of Shares available for Awards; (ii) the exercise prices of Options; and (iii) the number of Shares subject to any outstanding Awards. The Committee will also have the discretion to make certain adjustments to Awards in the event of certain mergers. Upon occurrence of certain transactions, such as dissolution, liquidation, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or a merger in which we are not a surviving corporation, the Committee may provide for the cancellation or exchange of the Awards for some or all of the property received by the shareholders in a transaction. In the event of a change in control, all outstanding Awards will become fully vested and exercisable, and all restrictions will lapse.

No Repricing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Second Amended and Restated EIP, in no event shall (i) any repricing (within the meaning of US generally accepted accounting principles or any applicable stock exchange rule) of Awards be permitted at any time under any circumstances or (ii) any new Awards be granted in substitution for outstanding Awards previously granted if such action would be considered a repricing (within the meaning of US generally accepted accounting principles or any applicable stock exchange rule).

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

•  Limited Transferability of Awards. Awards granted under the Second Amended and Restated EIP may not be transferred other than upon the death of the Participant.

Termination and Amendment

The Board may, at any time, suspend or discontinue the Second Amended and Restated EIP or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, to the extent that any applicable law, regulation, or rule of a stock exchange requires shareholder approval in order for any such revision or amendment to be effective, such revision or amendment shall not be effective without such approval.

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards

Options. A Participant who is granted an Option generally will not recognize any ordinary income at the time of grant. Upon exercise, the Participant recognizes ordinary income equal to the aggregate fair market value of the Shares subject to the Option over the aggregate exercise price of such Shares. The Company is generally entitled to a deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the Participant recognizes ordinary income.

Restricted Stock. A Participant generally will not recognize any ordinary income at the time a Restricted Stock Award is granted. When the restrictions lapse with regard to any portion of Restricted Stock, the Participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Shares with respect to which the restrictions lapse, unless the Participant elected to realize ordinary income in the year the Award is granted in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Restricted Stock awarded, determined without regard to the restrictions. The Company is generally entitled to a deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the Participant recognizes ordinary income.

RSUs. A Participant generally will not recognize income at the time an award of RSUs is granted. When RSUs vest, the Participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the cash paid or the fair market value of the Shares delivered. The Company is generally entitled to a deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the Participant recognizes ordinary income.

THE FOREGOING IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE EFFECT OF US FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION WITH RESPECT TO THE GRANT AND EXERCISE OF AWARDS UNDER THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EIP. IT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND DOES NOT DISCUSS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INDIVIDUAL’S DEATH OR THE PROVISIONS OF THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE, OR FOREIGN COUNTRY IN WHICH ANY ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT MAY RESIDE.

SHARE HISTORY AND SHARE USAGE

In order to determine the number of Shares to be authorized for issuance under the EIP, the Company considered historical burn rate calculations relative to market levels, projected equity awards to be granted to Non-Executive Directors during the term of the plan, potential dilution that the requested shares may cause to existing shareholders, and a headroom analysis. Based on the Company’s review of historical and projected grant practices, we propose that an additional 300,000 Shares be authorized for issuance under the Second Amended and Restated EIP, which means the maximum aggregate number of Shares that can be issued pursuant to Awards granted after June 8, 2022 (i.e., the date we separated the EIP’s share pool from the LTIP share pool) would be 450,000.

The following table sets forth information regarding historical Awards granted to Non-Executive Directors under the EIP in the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023 – the three annual award periods preceding the date of the 2024 Annual General Meeting – and the corresponding burn rate. For purposes herein, burn rate is defined as the number of Shares subject to equity-based Awards granted in the year, divided by the weighted-average number of Shares outstanding for that year.

NEW PLAN BENEFITS

The amount and timing of Awards granted under the EIP are determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, other than the annual timing requirements described above under “Non-Discretionary Grants.” Therefore, the exact amount of future awards that could be received by our Non-Executive Directors under the EIP are not determinable at this time. However, if the Second Amended and Restated EIP is approved, and subject to approval of Resolution 7 regarding the Directors’ Remuneration Policy, then we intend to grant each Non-Executive Director who is acting as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and who has been acting as a Director of the Company for at least six (6) months, a non-discretionary grant of RSUs equal to approximately 125% of their annual cash retainer on the date of the 2024 Annual General Meeting; the total estimated value of which is shown in the table below.

RESOLUTION 14

AUTHORITY TO ALLOTISSUE SHARES AND
TO GRANT RIGHTS TO SUBSCRIBE
FOR OR CONVERT SECURITIES
INTO SHARES

This Resolution 1214 is required under the Companies Act for the Company to allot, or issue shares and to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares. This authorization is customary for public limited companies incorporated under the laws ofin England and Wales, required as a matter of UK law, and is not otherwise required for companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange orthat are organized within the United States.

UnderUnlike most NYSE-listed companies that are authorized to issue shares up to the Companies Act, Directors are,level of authorized share capital specified in their Charter or Articles of Incorporation without submitting such issuances to a shareholder vote unless required by NYSE listing standards, Luxfer is, with certain exceptions (such as in connection with employees’ share schemes), unable to allotissue shares without being authorized either by the Company’s Articles of Association or by shareholder resolution. Unlike most companies listedUnder the Companies Act, shareholders may provide this authorization with respect to a specific issuance or generally (subject to such general authority being valid for no more than five years and stating a limit on the New York Stock Exchange with perpetual authority to allot shares provided for in their Charter or Articles of Incorporation, our Board’s power to allot shares is restricted in terms of the number of shares and the time period during which theythat may be allotted.issued under it).

Pursuant to this Resolution14, the Board is seeking general issuance authority. The Company sought a similar authority at the 20162023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which has since expired. will expire upon conclusion of the 2024 Annual General Meeting. This general authority is customarily sought by UK companies like Luxfer, as it allows companies the flexibility to address capital needs, particularly those related to routine matters, in a timely fashion without incurring the costs and delays associated with calling a special meeting and circulating proxy materials to approve each issuance of shares. Acknowledging evolving shareholder expectations and concerns around the potential for general issuance authorities to cause excessive dilution, we intend to seek general issuance authority on an annual basis, limiting this authority to 20% of issued share capital or as generally recommended by then-current proxy voting policies.

Therefore, the Company is now requesting that the Board of Directors be authorized to allotissue shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of $8,752,767,$60,203,520, which is equivalent to approximately 33%20% of the aggregate nominal value of theCompany’s issued ordinary share capital of the Company as of April 1, 20232024 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Proxy Statement).

Unless previously renewed, revoked or varied, the authority sought under this Resolution 1214 will, if granted, (i) apply in substitution for all existing authorities under section 551 of the Companies Act; and (ii) expire upon conclusion of the 20242025 Annual General Meeting or, if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date on which the resolution is passed, which is consistent with the approach taken by UK public companies. The authority sought under this Resolution 12 permits the Company to make, before expiration of said authority, any offer or agreement that would or might require shares in the Company to be allotted, or rights to subscribe for or convert securities into shares in the Company to be granted, and to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or covert securities into shares in furtherance of any such offer made before expiration of said authority, notwithstanding that the authority conferred by this resolution has expired.

The Board of Directors has no present intention to exercise the authority sought under this Resolution12, other than to satisfy awards pursuant to the Luxfer Holdings PLC Non-Executive Directors Equity Incentive Plan, amended and restated as of June 8, 2022. However, the Board believes that it is important for the Company to retain the flexibility to allot shares on an accelerated basis should the Directors determine it is necessary or advisable and in the best interests of shareholders, without incurring the costs or delays associated with calling a special meeting and preparing and circulating proxy materials to approve specific allotment of shares.Meeting.

Granting the Board this authority is a routine matter for public limited companies incorporated in England and Wales and is consistent with English market practice.Wales. We are not asking our shareholders to approve an increase in our authorized share capital or to approve a specific issuance of shares. Instead, approval of this Resolution 1214 will only grant the Board of Directors the general authority to allotissue shares upon the terms set forth below. In addition, we note that, because we are a NYSE-listed company, our shareholders continue to benefit from the protections afforded to them under the rules and regulations of the NYSE and SEC, including those rules that limit our ability to issue shares in specified circumstances.

Per these statutory preemptionpreemptive rights, equity securities allottedissued or sold for cash must first be offered, on the same or more favorable terms, to existing shareholders of the Company on a pro-rata basis, unless these statutory preemptionpreemptive rights are disapplied by the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The statutory preemptionpreemptive rights do not apply where equity securities are issued for non-cash consideration (such as in a stock-for-stock acquisition) and do not apply to the issue of non-equity shares (that is, shares that have the right to participate only up to a specified amount in any income or capital distribution) or where equity securities are issued pursuant to an employee option or similar equity plan.employees’ share scheme.

The Company is now requesting that, when the Board of Directors allots, or issues equity securities for cash or sells ordinary shares held as treasury shares for cash, it not be required to offer preemptionpreemptive rights to existing shareholders, provided such allotmentissuance and/or sale is limited to an aggregate amount of $1,326,177,$15,050,880 which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the aggregate nominal value of theCompany’s issued ordinary share capital of the Company as of April 1, 20232024 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Proxy Statement).

DIRECTOR NOMINEE SKILLS AND CHARACTERISTICS

DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS

The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the performance and contributions of existing Board membersDirectors to the extent they are candidates for re-election and considers all aspects of each candidate’s qualifications and skills in the context of the Company’s needs. Accordingly, the Committee and the Board evaluate director nominees based on several criteria with a view of (i) bringing to the Board a variety of experience and backgrounds and (ii) establishing a core team of business advisors with relevant financial and management expertise.

Among the qualifications and skills of a candidate considered important by the Committee are: a commitment to representing the long-term interests of shareholders; leadership ability; willingness to take appropriate risk; professional and personal ethics, integrity and values; practical wisdom and sound judgement;judgment; international business experience; and business and professional experience in fields such as materials engineering, industrial manufacturing, technology and cybersecurity, operations, product development, legal, and human resources. Candidates with substantial experience outside of the business community, such as in the public, academic, or scientific communities, are also considered by the Board and Committee. Board composition, effectiveness, and processes are all subject areas of our annual Board evaluation, which is described in more detail below.

Our Board members offer a range of skills and experiences relevant to the Board’s oversight role. As part of our annual Directors’ and Officers’ Questionnaire, our Board members were asked to identify their specific skills and experiences as they pertain to each category below. The following table summarizes the key skills and experiences identified by each Director that our Board considered important in its decision to nominate that individual for election or re-election to our Board. Further details about each Director’s qualifications are set forth in their individual biographies.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

DIRECTOR DIVERSITY

Diversity factors such as age, gender, race, and ethnic background are important characteristics considered in identifying director candidates and determining nominees. The Committee also considers the tenure of incumbent Directors to ensure a mix of shorter-tenured Directors who provide fresh perspectives and longer-tenured Directors who provide experience in the Company and its business. While Luxfer has not adopted a formal diversity policy in connection with the evaluation of director candidates or the selection of nominees, the Board realizes that diversity amongst its members promotes differing perspectives and overall Board effectiveness. As such, promoting diversity is consistent with our goal of creating a Board that best serves the needs of the Company and the interests of our shareholders.

DIRECTOR SELECTION PROCESS

The Nominating and Governance Committee selects director candidates and nominees using a procedure by which it:

reviews the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills of existing Directors;

determines the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills desired and/or required in new Directors;

solicits suggestions from the Chief Executive Officer and Directors on potential candidates;

considers candidates recommended by shareholders;

retains a search consultant as needed to identify candidates;

evaluates the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills of all candidates recommended for consideration;

contacts the preferred candidate(s) to assess their interest;

interviews the preferred candidate(s) to assess their experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills; and

recommends candidate(s) for consideration by the Board of Directors.

Working closely with the full Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee develops criteria for open Board positions, taking into account the needs of the Board and the Company at the time. The Committee commenced a search for a new Non-Executive Director in early 2022, following the procedure set forth above. The Committee began by analyzing the current Directors’ experience, qualifications,above, and skills to identify gaps in the Board’s skill set. This analysis resulted in the creation of a new Director profile. The Committee did not utilize the services of a search consultant to identify Sylvia A. Stein as a potential director candidate. Rather, the Committee utilized contacts within the Directors’ professional networks, and Ms. Stein was identified as a potential candidate based on her background in advising global public companies, particularly in matters related to business strategy, sustainability, regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions, and talent management. Following interviews with the Committee, Chief Executive Officer, and the Board, the Committee proposed, and the Board approved, the appointment ofappointed Sylvia A. Stein as a Non-Executive Director in June 2022. The Committee did not undertake a formal recruitment process in 2023, due to the fact that two new Directors, Sylvia A. Stein and Andy Butcher, were appointed in 2022. Given the Company’s retirement policies, as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Committee plans to commence a Director recruitment process in 2024 in accordance with the foregoing process.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board determines the independence of each Director based upon the NYSE listing standards, SEC regulations, and the Directors’ answers to questions on independence included in our annual Directors’ and Officers’ Questionnaire. Based on these standards, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that all Non-Executive Directors standing for election at the AGM (i.e., Patrick Mullen, Richard Hipple, Clive Snowdon, Sylvia A. Stein, and Lisa Trimberger) are independent and have no material relationship with the Company that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment. The Company’s Board of Directors has historically included and, to date, includes the Chief Executive Officer as the sole Executive Director. The Board has affirmatively determined that Andy Butcher, currently the only Executive Director, is not independent because he serves as Luxfer’s Chief Executive Officer.

In determining independence, the Board considers several factors related to the materiality of each Director’s relationship with Luxfer, including the Director’s affiliations with other organizations, such as employment, director, officer, shareholder, commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, and familial affiliations. Given the nature of the advanced materials industry, an important factor the Board considers is whether the Director serves as an employee of

Page 39

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

another company that is a customer, supplier, or competitor of Luxfer. While the Board has reviewed relevant relationships and found no significant relationships that would interfere with a Director’s independent judgment, the Board discloses the following relationships as part of its commitment to transparency:

Richard Hipple serves as a Director of KeyCorp, a provider of retail and commercial banking services in the United States. A Metals Equity Research Analyst at KeyCorp has conducted research on Luxfer in the past and continuesfrom 2018 to do so;2023; however, KeyCorp began research coverage of Luxfer prior to Mr.Hipple joining the LuxferCompany’s Board of Directors, and Mr.Hipple has not been involved in any such research. Moreover, KeyCorp does not provide financing, investment banking, or other advisory services to Luxfer, although it has provided banking services to Luxfer prior to Mr.Hipple joining the Board.Board in 2018. Because Luxfer’s former relationship with KeyCorp is at arms-length and Mr.Hipple has not been directly involved in any of Luxfer’s dealings with KeyCorp, the Board does not view this relationship significant enough to affect Mr.Hipple’s independence as a Director of Luxfer.

Prior to her retirement in 2014, Lisa Trimberger served as an Audit Partner at Deloitte & Touche LLP. Prior to Ms. Trimberger joining the Board, Deloitte was providing and continued to provide non-audit advisory services to the Company through March 2022. Because Luxfer’s former relationship with Deloitte iswas at arms-length and is not independent audit-related, the Board does not view this previous relationship significant enough to affect Ms. Trimberger’s independence as a Director of Luxfer.

BOARD LEADERSHIP

The Board believes it is important to maintain flexibility in choosing the leadership structure that best meets the needs of the Company and its shareholders, based on circumstances that exist at the time and the qualifications of available individuals. We do not have a policy requiring the positions of Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer to be held by different persons. However, these two positions have historically been separate and are expected to remain separate. The Board believes this structure is advantageous because it provides the appropriate balance between strategy development and oversight of management. It also allows the CEO to focus attention on driving business performance rather than Board governance. Additionally, this structure is consistent with corporate best practices, the Institutional Shareholder Services’ (ISS) recommendation, the views of Luxfer’s shareholders, and the UK Corporate Governance Code. The responsibilities of an independent Board Chair include, among other things:

leading the Board, including the oversight and coordination of the Board’s and its Committees’ work;

serving as a liaison between the CEO, other members of senior management, the Non-Executive Directors, and the Committee Chairs;

presiding at all meetings of the Board, including executive sessions of the independent Non-Executive Directors;

presiding at all meetings of the shareholders;

setting the Board’s meeting agendas and ensuring there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;

recommending agendas for shareholder meetings and providing guidance to the Board on positions the Board should take on issues to come before shareholder meetings;

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

participating in discussions with the Nominating and Governance Committee on matters related to Board and Committee organization, composition, membership terms, and meeting structure; and

participating in discussions with the Nominating and Governance Committee and Remuneration Committee on matters related to the hiring, evaluation, and compensation of, and the succession planning for, the CEO, other executives, and Directors.

Luxfer’s Board of Directors is currently led by Patrick Mullen, who was appointed Board Chair in March 2022. Mr.Mullen is a Non-Executive Director and is considered independent under the NYSE listing standards and relevant SEC regulations. Luxfer believes that Patrick Mullen’s service as Board Chair is appropriate because of his extensive global industrial experience, including his previous executive leadership and management roles within industrial manufacturing companies; history of serving on the boards of other public companies; and knowledge of the manufacturing and engineering industries in general.

RISK OVERSIGHT

Luxfer maintains an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program, which is the Company’s overall framework for identifying, assessing, monitoring, and mitigating the Company’s most significant risks. A wide breadth of potential risks relevant to the Company are evaluated under our ERM program, including those that could present financial, operational, or strategic risk. Through the ERM program, we apply standard risk management assessments and terminology aligned with the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management Framework to each of Luxfer’s business units and corporate functions.

Page 40

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

Luxfer’s Board oversees the management of risks relevant to the Company as part of regular Board and Committee meetings. Topics reviewed by the Board as part of its risk oversight responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the implementation of the Company’s strategic plan; its acquisitions and divestitures; its capital structure, allocation, and liquidity; material litigation; compliance with laws and regulation; cybersecurity; sustainability, climate, and ESG-related risks; and its organizational structure. While the full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, the Board delegates oversight responsibility for specific risks across its Committees, considering the Committees’ responsibilities, and the skills and experience of the Committees’ members. In particular, the Audit Committee oversees the Company’s annual ERM processes, including the establishment of the Risk Framework and completion of the annual Risk Assessment by various levels of management.

Luxfer’s management has day-to-day responsibility for identifying, evaluating, managing, and mitigating the Company’s risk. On an annual basis, Luxfer management establishes and/or updates, as appropriate, a Risk Framework and completes a Risk Assessment. Our Risk Framework and Assessments are accompanied by an internal manual to ensure a consistent and methodical assessment of the risks to which the Company is exposed. The manual provides guidance to help quantify the materiality of each risk, including its timing, likelihood, magnitude, scope, and financial impact. Each risk identified in the Risk Framework is reviewed by various levels of management, andincluding our Internal Audit team. Risks are prioritized based on their relative likelihood and magnitude of the range of expected financial impact. Management regularly assesses, reviews, and the Internal Audit team review and consolidateconsolidates risk assessment results at the enterprise level, ensuring they reflect the combined impact of interrelated risks such that they would be managed effectively. Risks identified as “top risks” are reviewed annually with Luxfer’s Executive Leadership Team, the Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors as a whole.

After material risks are reviewed, our ERM program involves the development, recommendation, and implementation of response plans appropriate to each risk. Response plans are developed and recommended by regional risk management teams, and then reviewed and modified as necessary by Internal Audit.necessary. Once approved, the response plans are implemented under the oversight of management teams across the relevant locations or functions. Throughout the year, Internal Audit, withWith oversight from the Board and/or a specific Board Committee, management, with the assistance of our Internal Audit team, monitors the implementation and progress of response plans. Results from such monitoring are reported to the Board of Directors as part of regular Committee updates during each quarterly meeting or as otherwise needed.

STRATEGY

Luxfer’s Board oversees the Company’s long-term business strategy, which includes, among other matters, our strategic framework; business performance and development strategies; growth plans; and approach to commercial excellence, human capital management, lean operations, innovation, and sustainability.

MANAGEMENT SUCCESSION PLANNING

The Board views its role in succession planning and talent development as a key responsibility. At least once annually, usually as part of the annual talent review process, the Board discusses and reviews the succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Leadership Team, and other key contributors. The Directors become familiar with potential successors for key management positions through various means, including annual talent reviews, presentations to the Board, regular updates to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, and communications outside of meetings. Our succession planning process is an organization-wide practice designed to proactively identify, develop, and retain the leadership talent critical to the future success of the Company.

BOARD, COMMITTEE AND DIRECTOR EVALUATIONS

In accordance with the Related Party Transactions Policy and consistent with Sectionsection 314.00 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, as amended, on April 2, 2021 and August 26, 2021, the Audit Committee must conduct a reasonable prior review of all “Related Party Transactions” and prohibit such a transaction if it determines it to be inconsistent with the interests of the company and its shareholders. A “Related Party Transaction” is any transaction directly or indirectly involving a Related Party that is required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act.Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under Item 404(a), the Company is required to disclose any transaction, arrangement, or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness), since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which (a) the amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any fiscal year; (b) the Company was or is to be a participant; and (c) any Related Party had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

All Covered Persons – including family members of Covered Persons, members of a Covered Person’s household, and entities controlled by Covered Persons – are expected to comply with the Insider Trading and Dealing Policy, as well as applicable securities laws and regulations.

Further, Luxfer has established Stock Ownership Guidelines, which apply to all Directors, Executive Officers, and any other key employees that the Remuneration Committee may identify from time to time in consultation with management. The Company’s Articles of Association do not currently require Directors to hold a minimum number of shares in the Company in order to qualify for appointment to the Board of Directors; however, the Stock Ownership Guidelines provide the Company’s expectations as to the minimum amount of shares such persons should own in the Company. These minimum amounts are based on the total value of the shares owned by a person being equal to a certain multiple of such person’s annual base salary or retainer fee. Additionally, the Stock Ownership Guidelines include share retention ratios to assist in a person’s continuous progress toward their respective ownership guideline. Directors and Executive Officers are expected to achieve the minimum ownership guidelines within five years of the effective date of the Stock Ownership Guidelines or their appointment or election, whichever occurs later.

ENERGY AND EMISSIONS

In 2022,2023, we continued tracking energy and emissions data through our internal ESG Scorecard, which measures progress across a wide range of ESG key performance indicators. In addition to recording data, the ESG Scorecard is the mechanism through which we trackevaluate performance against our 2025 Environmental Goals, which includes our commitment to reducing our absolute carbon dioxide equivalent (“CO2e”) emissions by 20% by 2025 using a 2019 baseline. Having finalized our full year 20222023 emissions figures, we are pleased to have exceeded our 2025 emissions reduction goal ahead of schedule with a 29%48% decrease in our total absolute CO2eCO2e emissions in 20222023 from our 2019 baseline. In addition to updates provided in annual reports and other sustainability-related publications, we plan to provide additional details on final full-year 2022 and 2023 emissions data, and an update on progress towards all our 2025 Environmental Goals, in a future sustainability report anticipated in December 2024.

Each Luxfer site compiles greenhouse gas emission inventories and monitors electricity and natural gas usage. All other greenhouse gases produced as a result of manufacturing operations, such as propane and direct CO2, are also recorded. Scope 1 emissions consist of all direct emissions from fuel combustion, natural gas, propane, and all other sources of direct emissions. Scope 2 emissions consist of all indirect emissions attributable to the Company through the consumption of purchased electricity, steam, heating, or cooling. This data is compiled and converted to emissions to calculate our total CO2e output. Our US and Canada facilities use standard CO2 conversion factors published by the US Environmental Protection Agency, and our UK facilities use CO2 conversion factors published by the UK Government. Broadly speaking, the gases that compile the bulk of our emissions have very similar CO2e equivalency regardless of where they are sourced. Year-on-year figures are used to identify any anomalies, and similar sites are compared to one another to ensure consistency and understanding of this data. At present, we do not collect details ofpublicly report any Scope 3 emissions.

The table below provides a summary of the Company’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions for 2022 and 2021.since 2019.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

  

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

In 2022,2023, our total absolute emissions (i.e., total metric tons of CO2e)CO2e) decreased by 30.6%26.4% compared to 2021.2022. Absolute Scope 1 emissions decreased 28.5%23.68% and absolute Scope 2 emissions decreased 35.7%33.43% year-over-year. We attribute this decrease to various energy- and emissions-saving projects implemented, and operational efficiency gains in late 2021 and throughout 2022,2023, which are described in greater detail below. These projects also impacted our total emissions intensity (i.e., CO2eCO2e emissions per $million in sales), which decreased by 35.0%21.46% in 20222023 compared to 2021.2022. Scope 1 emissions intensity decreased by 32.9%18.52% and Scope 2 emissions intensity decreased by 39.7%28.98% year-over-year. While emissions intensity are useful metrics to normalize our emissions, sales value is affected by exchange and inflation rate effects. Accordingly, it is important to note that the Company’s efforts to pass through inflationary costs in 20222023 has impacted our sales value and likewise impacted our emissions intensity metrics.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

Beginning in 2021, the establishment of new commercial contracts and the continuation of existing commercial arrangements with Luxfer require that third parties complete and return an acknowledgement form as a means to verify compliance with the Third Party Code of Conduct. To ensure ongoing compliance, Luxfer requests that third parties renew their signature on the form once every three years.

In 2022, 49%2023, 91% of suppliers and distributors who meet this threshold attested compliance in writing to Luxfer’s Third Party Code of Conduct. Our goal in 20232024 is to continue implementing the appropriate internal processes to achieve a 90%100% attestation rate from third parties who meet this threshold. This metric is tracked quarterly by each Luxfer location on our internal ESG Scorecard and is reviewed twice annually with the CEO and senior management. We look forward to further refiningcontinuously improving our internal processes so that we may extend this requirement to 100% of our supply chain in the future.

To further improve the sustainability performance of our supply chain, examinationsevaluations of new and existing vendors are conducted regularly. We utilize several methods to ensure that our standards are met, including vendor risk assessments.

Risk

Risk Description

Management of Risk

Network and Systems

Luxfer’s operations are increasingly dependent on IT systems and management of information, and a cyber-attack could inhibit our business operations including disruption to sales, production and cash flows.

Luxfer has a wide breadth of controls in place to protect against cyber-attacks including firewalls, threat monitoring systems, protected cloud architecture, and more frequent security patching. We have phased out vulnerable operating systems and updated legacy servers with advanced security. Applications that run and manage our core operating data are fully backed up.

Employee Error or Misuse

As cyber-attacks and phishing scams are becoming more advanced, employees may fail to recognize the signs of a cyber-attack or rely solely on the Company’s IT defenses.

Policies and Employee Training.We have global policies covering IT security standards and provide annual training modules for employees. We also train our employees on cybersecurity through phishing simulations.

Third-Party Cybersecurity Measures

In part, we depend on the reliability of certain tested third parties’ cybersecurity measures, including firewalls, virus solutions and backup solutions. Our business may be affected if these third-party resources are compromised.

We make every effort to comply with the GDPR and implement best practices including annual review of our Data Protection Policy. We also train employees to maintain secure systems, access control measures, and regularly monitor and test our networks to protect data, payment information, and personally identifiable information.

Cyber Resilience. Although we devote significant resources to network security, data encryption and other measures to protect our information technology systems and data from unauthorized access or misuse, including those measures necessary to meet certain information security standards that may be required by our customers, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful in preventing a cybersecurity or general information security incident. We also rely in part on the reliability of certain tested third-party cybersecurity measures, including firewalls, virus solutions and quarterly compliance training for employees.backup solutions, and our business may be affected if these third-party resources are compromised.

Training and Compliance. Our employees are a key line of defense against cybersecurity threats and malicious actors. In addition to our IT Policies, Luxfer has a comprehensive cybersecurity training and awareness program to educate employees on how to recognize cybersecurity threats, prevent cyber-related incidents, and how to report a potential threat or breach. Our online compliance training program is mandatory for all employees worldwide, and includes cybersecurity awareness and IT security training, along with other compliance and governance related topics. Within each training module, employees must review a Company IT policy applicable to the training topic and attest that they have read, understood, and agree to comply with the Policy.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our director compensation program reflects our belief that a significant portion of the Directors’ compensation should be tied to long-term growth in shareholder value.

We use a combination of annualcash retainer fees and equity awards to attract and retain qualified Directors.

In conducting such review, the Remuneration Committee may utilize publicly available market data, compensation survey data, and advice provided by compensation consultants. The Remuneration Committee then reaches a recommendation regarding our director compensation program and the compensation paid to our Directors. The Remuneration Committee’s recommendation is subsequently provided to the full Board for review and final approval.

Meridian, the Remuneration Committee’s independent compensation consultant, provided the Committee with a benchmark study, as well as advice and recommendations on the composition of the peer group and competitive data used for benchmarking our director compensation program. The Remuneration Committee used the information provided by Meridian, as well as other trend data, to reach an independent recommendation regarding the compensation paid to our Directors. This recommendation was provided to the full Board for review and final approval.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FRAMEWORK

 

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our goal is to provide executive compensation programs that:

deliver competitive levels of compensation to attract, motivate, and retain executive talent;

alignexecutive compensation with shareholder interests and andlong-term long-termCompanyvalue; and

tie executive compensationto Company performance.

 

Executive Compensation Program Design

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

provide appropriate balance between short-term and long-term pay and fixed and variablevariable/at-risk pay;

include multiple components,each designed consistent with our compensation philosophy, including a base salary, an annual cash incentive, long-termlong-term equity awards, and other benefits;

cultivatesustainable growth and andlong-termlong-term value creation, without imposing unnecessary risks; and

rewardexecutives for achieving financial and strategic objectives.

 

Executive Compensation Governance and Process

Executive compensation decisions are made independent from management, subject to Remuneration Committee review, as well as approval and/or ratification by the independent Non-Executive Directors of the Board. In reviewing and establishing compensation levels and components, we consider the following factors:

benchmark and market datafor executives serving in similar positions at peer companies;

individualknowledge, experience,and capabilities of the Company’s executives;

the executive’s scope ofresponsibility, authority, and accountability;and

the level of compensation relative to the Company’s other executives and the Company’s and/or business unit’s size and revenue.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

Luxfer seeks to create and maintain a culture of high performance, teamwork, and accountability. Our executive compensation program is one of the tools we utilize to accomplish this objective. Philosophically, we aim to treat our executives fairly when considering factors such as (i) the complexity of their jobs; (ii) the market for their executive talent; (iii) their individual performance; (iv) the financial and strategic performance of the Company overall, or where applicable, the executive’s particular business unit; (iv) the need to attract and retain the executives; and (v) the geographic location of the executive.

The Remuneration Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program aligns executive initiatives with our shareholders’ interests. The Committee seeks to accomplish such alignment by rewarding the achievement of short-term and long-term financial and strategic goals that create lasting shareholder value. Through regular assessment

Page 56

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

and revision of the Company’s executive compensation program, the Committee continues to align executive compensation with Luxfer’s growth and shareholder value creation. In reviewing our executive compensation philosophy, strategy, and program design and in setting compensation levels for our Named Executive Officers, the Remuneration Committee considers, among other factors, the key financial and operating metrics that drive Luxfer’s growth and shareholder value; the objectives of and risks related to our operations and compensation program; and the components and level of executive compensation at companies within our peer group.

Within that framework, it is critical that we meet our executive compensation objectives to:

motivate and reward executives for achieving financial and strategic objectives;

attract and retain high caliber executives;

align management and shareholder interests by encouraging employee stock ownership;

encourage growth and innovation; and

provide rewards commensurate with individual and Company performance.

50

 
 

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

The Remuneration Committee reviews total compensation for executives and the relative levels of each compensation component against these objectives. We expect that our executives will, in aggregate, be paid fairly compared to the compensation peer group approved by the Remuneration Committee and considering Company performance, individual performance, tenure, and experience.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM DESIGN

Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate behaviors that cultivate sustainable growth and shareholder value creation, provide rewards commensurate with individual and Company performance, reward executives for achieving financial and strategic objectives, and provide an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term and fixed and variable pay. The majority of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation is variable and contingent on performance. In designing our executive compensation program, establishing performance measures, and setting executive compensation packages, we conduct benchmarking analyses, no less than every three years, to ensure compensation is competitive with market practices. Total compensation packages, as well as base salary, annual cash incentive opportunities, and target equity awards, are evaluated against comparative peer group companies. While target incentive opportunities are set by reference to a comparable market rate, our incentive plans provide for payouts to be based upon performance, which can result in payouts above or below target levels. Further information regarding our 2022 executive compensation program is provided in the section entitled “2022 Executive Compensation Program” starting on page 53.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

COMPARATIVE FRAMEWORK

In setting compensation for our executives, including our Named Executive Officers, the Remuneration Committee uses competitive compensation data from a total compensation study of selected peer companies and other relevant survey sources to inform its decisions about overall compensation levels and specific compensation components. Additionally, the Committee uses multiple reference points when establishing target compensation levels. The Committee applies judgementjudgment and discretion in establishing target compensation levels, considering not only competitive market data but also factors such as company, business unit, and individual performance; scope of responsibility; critical needs and skill sets; experience; leadership potential; succession planning; and the geographic location of the executive. In setting compensation for 2022,2023, the Committee referenced the output from thea total compensation analysis and benchmarking study performed by Meridian in December 2020.Meridian. In its analysis, Meridian utilized data sourced from 2020 proxy statements, Meridian’s Trends and Developments Survey, and other public sources related to a group of peer companies (the “Comparator Group”) to provide a comparison between market pay levels and the target total compensation of Luxfer’s executives.

Based on Meridian’s review and recommendations, as well as the foregoing criteria, the Committee used the following Comparator Group for benchmarking purposes:

Chart Industries, Inc.

ESCO Technologies, Inc.

Haynes International, Inc.

Helios Technologies, Inc.

Kadant, Inc.

SPX FLOW, Inc.

Ciner Resources LP

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation

Quaker Chemical Corporation

TriMas Corporation

All companies included in the Comparator Group were (i) publicly traded on a major exchange; (ii) similar in business size to our business units and global in nature; and (iii) engaged in the same or a similar industry to ours. As provided by Meridian as part of this total compensationbenchmarking study completed, in December 2020, the Comparator Group companies had full year 2022 revenues ranging from approximately US$370 495million to US$1,389 1,400million, with median revenues of approximately US$765 880million. On a similar basis, Luxfer’s revenue for the year ended December31, 20202022 was US$324.8 423million.

Notwithstanding their significant accomplishments,dedication and notable progress, the impact of these external disruptionsweakened demand, competitive cost pressures, and challenging market conditions on the Company’s full year performance led to a meaningful reduction in Named Executive Officer compensation in 2022,2023, particularly annual cash incentives for most executives.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

Annually, the Committee reviews total compensation for Named Executive Officers, and the relative levels of each of these forms of compensation, against the objectives of the compensation program to (i) align the interests of the Named Executive Officers with those of our shareholders; (ii) attract, retain, and incentivize talented executives; (iii) provide competitive compensation that motivates and rewards the Named Executive Officers for achieving financial and strategic objectives; and (iv) provide compensation commensurate with performance.

BASE SALARY

 

  

We provide each Named Executive Officer with a fixed base salary. Base salaries are set upon appointment to a specific role and periodically adjusted for performance, scope of responsibility, inflation, and other factors. In setting base salaries, the Remuneration Committee generally references comparable positions at peer companies based on available market data, which includes published survey data and proxy statement data for our Comparator Group. The Committee considers compensation at comparable companies as one of many factors in setting base salaries. Differences in base salaries among the Named Executive Officers are based on numerous factors, such as competitive conditions for the Named Executive Officer’s position within the Comparator Group and in the broader employment market, as well as the Named Executive Officer’s level of responsibility, experience, location, business unit size and revenue, and individual performance.

In December 2021,2022, the Committee reviewed the Named Executive Officers’ base salaries in accordance with its normal procedures. Following this review, the Committee implemented a 3%an approximate 2% salary increase to the base salaries of Andy Butcher (in his previous role as Presidentand Howard Mead, an approximate 3% salary increase to the base salaries of Luxfer Gas Cylinders), Peter Gibbons,Stephen Webster and Jeffrey Moorefield, and an approximate 5% salary increase to the base salary of Graham Wardlow, Alok Maskara, and Heather Harding.Wardlow. This broad-based salary increase was intended to address inflation. Effective January Furthermore, effective July1, 2022,2023, the Committee approved a 33%implemented an additional 6% annualized increase to Stephen Webster’s base salary, upon his assumption of the CFO role. Similarly, Andy Butcher received a 70% annualized increase to his base salary upon his appointment as CEO, resulting in a 53%total 9% increase in base salary paid year-over-year. Further information regarding the Committee’s considerations when setting Mr. Webster’s and Mr. Butcher’s 2022 target compensation upon appointment to their respective CFO and CEO roles is included in the section entitled “Comparative Framework” on page 54.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE

 

  

The goal of Luxfer’s annual cash incentive is to retain, motivate, and incentivize high caliber individualsexecutives and promote the achievement of Luxfer’s key financial and strategic goals by:

providing above-market award opportunities for superior performance;

placing emphasis on combined company-wide and business unit results;

recognizing as appropriate, individual and non-financial factors that contributecontributions to Luxfer’s overall success; and

emphasizing teamwork and collaboration across all business units.

To achieve these objectives, cash incentives are tied to financial and, in the case of Named Executive Officers other than the CEO and CFO, individual performance measures aligned with the Company’s long-term strategy.

20222023 Target Cash Incentives

The Remuneration Committee sets a target cash incentive for each Named Executive Officer annually. The target cash incentive represents a percentage of each Named Executive Officer’s base salary. When setting the target cash incentive for each Named Executive Officer, the Remuneration Committee considers Meridian’s recommendations, the median target cash incentives for the Comparator Group, relevant survey data, and – in the case of Named Executive Officers other than the CEO – the recommendations of the CEO. The target cash incentive for each Named Executive Officer varies depending on a wide range of factors, including competitive conditions for the Named Executive Officer’s position within the Comparator Group and in the broader employment market, as well as the Named Executive Officer’s performance, level of responsibility, and experience.

Following the completion of the fiscal year, the target cash incentive is used by the Remuneration Committee, together with its assessment of Company performance against established performance measures (the “Performance Payout Factor”), to determine the cash incentive payout. The Performance Payout Factor can range from 0% to 200%0-200%.

2023 Cash Incentive PayoutsPayout

Luxfer’s cash incentive program provides for payout levels between 0% and 200% of the target incentive award for each Named Executive Officer. At the end of the fiscal year, each performance measure is assessed on a sliding scale basis. No payout is made if performance is below the Threshold levels set forth in the foregoing tables, and the full incentive opportunity (200%) is earned if performance meets or exceeds the Maximum levels set forth in the foregoing tables. As Management EBITA is the Company’s primary financial deliverable, no cash incentive is payable with respect to the Cash Conversion or Revenue measures in the event that Threshold Management EBITA is not achieved. Additionally, ourthe 2023 cash incentive program permits the Committee to withhold cash incentives if the Company’s EBITA, as a whole, falls below the established Threshold, even if the business units achieve or exceed their own EBITA Target. Although the cash incentive program usesprovides for a formulaic approach,adjustment to the Remuneration Committee retains discretion in administering the program, which discretion includes selecting the performance measures prior to commencement of the performance period; setting and adjusting Threshold, Target, and Maximum levels; and assessing financial and operational results.Cash Conversion targets in the event that Maximum Management EBITA is obtained, as achievement of Maximum Management EBITA unintentionally results in lower Cash Conversion. Specifically, if Maximum Management EBITA is obtained, one-half of the Management EBITA figure exceeding Target level is added to the adjusted operating cash flow figure used in calculating Cash Conversion, resulting in a decrease to the Cash Conversion targets at a ratio of 1:2.

Following considerationassessment of the financial and individual performance measures, (as applicable), the Remuneration Committee calculated a Performance Payout Factor applicable to each Named Executive Officer. The Performance Payout Factor, target cash incentive, maximum cash incentive, and 20222023 cash incentive payout for each of our Named Executive Officers are set forth in the below table.

(1)  Andy Butcher was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company on March 23, 2022, with his appointment taking effect on May 6, 2022. The Company entered into an employment contract with Mr. Butcher upon his appointment as Chief Executive Officer. In accordance with the terms of his employment contract, Mr. Butcher’s annual cash incentive for 2022 was calculated using the total base salary actually paid to Mr. Butcher as President of Luxfer Gas Cylinders for January 1 - March 31, 2022 ($372,000 per annum, as pro-rated for said period), plus the base salary paid to Mr. Butcher as Chief Executive Officer for April 1 - December 31, 2022 ($615,000 per annum, as pro-rated for said period), which totaled $554,250.

(2)  Stephen Webster and Graham Wardlow are employed in the United Kingdom and paid in GBP sterling. The foregoing amounts have been translated into US dollars at the average exchange rate for 2022:2023: £1: US$1.2333.

(3)  Alok Maskara resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective May 5, 2022, to pursue another opportunity. The terms of Mr. Maskara’s resignation were formalized in a contract, under which Mr. Maskara received a cash incentive award for fiscal year 2022 of $306,667. This figure represents Mr. Maskara’s target cash incentive, as pro-rated to reflect actual dates of service in fiscal year 2022. This cash incentive was paid in conjunction with Mr. Maskara’s final paycheck and was in lieu of any amounts to which he may have been entitled under the Company’s cash incentive program.

(4)  Heather Harding retired from her position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective March 1, 2022. From March 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, Ms. Harding served as a Strategic Advisor to the CFO, and her compensation was reduced by 80% from $31,250 to $6,250 per month. This arrangement was formalized in a contract, under which Ms. Harding received an annual cash incentive for fiscal year 2022 of $81,250, irrespective of the Company’s performance against the specified performance measures. This figure represents Ms. Harding’s target cash incentive and is based on compensation actually paid in 2022, taking into account the reduction in her compensation following this change in position. It was agreed that this cash incentive was in lieu of any amounts to which she may have been entitled under the Company’s cash incentive program.1.2451.

Overall, the cash incentives earned by each of our Named Executive Officers in 20222023 were lower than those earned in 2021. The Company as a whole achieved Management EBITA and Cash Conversion at levels below Target,previous years, with Management EBITA exceeding the Threshold level but falling below Target level and Cash Conversion falling below Threshold.majority of our Named Executive Officers receiving no cash incentive in 2023. Lower cash incentive payouts were driven by unprecedentedmacroeconomic conditions, particularly impacting our Industrial end markets. Additionally, continued increases in the cost of raw materials which placed considerable pressure on delivery of Management EBITA and Cash Conversion in many business units. Management EBITA and Revenue performance in Luxfer (Group), Luxfer MEL Technologies, successfully passed through raw material costs,and Luxfer Magtech were below Threshold, resulting in exceptionalno cash incentive earned with respect to said performance measures. Although Luxfer (Group) achieved 117% Cash Conversion, exceeding Maximum level, no cash incentive was earned with respect to the Cash Conversion measure, given that Threshold Management EBITA performance. As maximizing bothwas not achieved. For the same reason, no cash incentive was earned with respect to Cash Conversion in Luxfer MEL Technologies and Luxfer Magtech, despite achieving Threshold and Target Cash Conversion levels respectively.

Howard Mead was the only Named Executive Officer to earn a cash incentive in 2023, with Luxfer Gas Cylinders achieving Management EBITA and Revenue above Threshold but below Target level and Cash Conversion is critical, and achievingexceeding Maximum EBITA unintentionally results in lower Cash Conversion, the Remuneration Committee approved an adjustment to the Threshold, Target, and Maximum Cash Conversion levels and Performance Payout Factor applicable to Luxfer MEL Technologies to account for additional inventory holding and non-cash profit resulting from higher raw material prices.level.

2023 EPS Growth Awards. EPS Growth is measured annually, using the prior year’s adjusted diluted EPS (as reported externally) as a baseline. The payout percentage for each individual year is “banked,” and the average annual payout percentage over the three-year performance period determines the final payout percentage. The 2023 EPS Growth Awards were communicated on March 20, 2023. Accordingly, EPS and the corresponding growth percentage will be measured on December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025, using adjusted diluted EPS of $1.36 as the baseline for the period ending December 31, 2023.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

In addition to achievethe foregoing performance-based equity awards regularly granted under the Company’s incentive compensation program, the Remuneration Committee approved special performance-based equity awards to Andy Butcher, Stephen Webster, Jeffrey Moorefield, and Graham Wardlow in 2022. These awards, which were tied to the Company’s former 2025 EPS goal of $2.00 or more, the Remuneration Committee approved additional EPS performance-based awards to be awarded to Andy Butcher, Stephen Webster, Peter Gibbons, Jeffrey Moorefield, and Graham Wardlow. These additional EPS awards arewere dependent on the Company’s attainment of a certainan adjusted diluted EPS of $2.00 or more on or before December 31, 2025. Provided the adjusted diluted EPS targets are attained, the awards will be granted and immediately vest on March 14, 2026. If the Company attainswere to attain an adjusted diluted EPS of $2.00 on or before December 31, 2025, the Target number of awards listed below will bewould have been awarded to each of the Named Executive Officers. The Maximum number of awards will bewould have been awarded to each of the Named Executive Officers if the Company attainsattained an adjusted diluted EPS of $2.40 or more than $2.00 (the Maximum level is not publicly disclosed at the time of award communication due to the proprietary nature and competitive sensitivity of the information).on or before December 31, 2025. In the event that the Company attainsattained an adjusted diluted EPS between the Target and Maximum level, a pro-rated number of awards between the Target and Maximum levels will bewould have been awarded to the Named Executive Officers based on the adjusted diluted EPS actually attained. Given the Company’s withdrawal of its 2025 EPS goal of $2.00 or more in the third quarter of 2023, these special grants are no longer likely to be realized.

OTHER BENEFITS

 

  

Perquisites

Each of our Named Executive Officers receives an annual perquisite allowance, which is paid as a monthly cash stipend. We believe providing reasonable perquisites is a market-competitive practice to attract and retain top executive talent. Rather than offering individual perquisites, we provide a monthly cash stipend to each of our Named Executive Officers to allow more flexibility and choice. Our Named Executive Officers have full discretion on how the cash perquisite stipend is spent, and it is not tracked by the Company after the money is paid. Perquisite allowances are intended to cover expenses incidental to the executive’s employment responsibilities, such as use of their personal automobile and mobile phone for business purposes. Perquisite allowances are not considered in cash incentive and equity award calculations, which are calculated with reference to base salary, and cannot be contributed to the Company’s 401(k) plan or otherwise considered in pension calculations. Perquisite allowances for our Named Executive Officers in 20222023 are set forth in the section entitled “2022“2023 Target Compensation” on page 5359 and included in the Summary Compensation Table below.on page 83.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

Retirement Benefit Programs

All of our Named Executive Officers who are based in the US are eligible to participate in Luxfer’s 401(k) Savings Plan in the same manner as all US employees. Participants in the 401(k) Savings Plan are eligible for a 100% match on up to 6% of eligible pay saved, subject to IRS-qualified plan compensation limits and highly compensated threshold limits. Eligible employees may not receive 401(k) benefits in excess of these limits.

Named Executive Officers based in the UK are eligible to participate in the defined contribution pension scheme and may have participated in the Luxfer Group Pension and Supplementary Pension Plans in the past, which are now frozen. These pension plans are further described in the section entitled “2022“2023 Pension Benefits” on page 82. Alok Maskara was paid the equivalent of 25% of his annual base salary as a salary supplement in lieu of contributions to the Company’s pension plans. In 2022, a portion of this supplement was paid into Luxfer’s 401(k) Savings Plan for Alok Maskara.89.

Employee Share Purchase Plans

Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the Company’s US Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and UK Share Incentive Plan (SIP), which provide employees with an opportunity to become Luxfer shareholders at a reduced price. Through payroll deductions, US employees can purchase Luxfer shares, subject to certain limits, at a 15% discount under the ESPP. Similarly, under the SIP, UK employees can purchase Luxfer shares through payroll deductions, and, in turn, the Company awards participating employees one free share per every two shares purchased. The Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the foregoing employee share purchase plans on the same basis as the Company’s other employees.

Health and Welfare Benefits

We provide employee benefits – such as medical, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance; and disability coverage – to our Named Executive Officers and other employees. These benefits are available to all full-time US employees through our active employee plans. Luxfer provides complimentary life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance to its full-time US employees, with a benefit equal to 1x annual pay plus US$15,000, subject to a minimum benefit amount of US$50,000.50,000 and maximum of US$300,000. Luxfer provides Andy Butcher, Chief Executive Officer, a US$1 million life insurance policy in accordance with the terms of a historical employment agreement. Employees are also offered voluntary life and AD&D insurance coverage with a benefit amount of 5xup to 7x such employee’s salary, (upsubject to a maximum of US$500,000).500,000. US employees who work in a State not subject to state-mandated short-term disability are provided complimentary short-term disability insurance, with a maximum benefit of US$400 per week. Employees are offered buy-up short-term disability coverage, which, along with the employer paid short term disability insurance, covers 66.67% of the employee’s pay, up to US$1,500 per week. Additionally, long-term disability insurance coverage is provided complimentary, with a benefit amount of 60% of such employee’s salary (uppay, subject to a maximum of US$6,000 per pay period). In addition to these benefits for active, full-time US employees, we provide post-retirement medical, dental, vision,month. A variety of other voluntary coverages, such as critical illness, accident, hospital indemnity insurance, and life insurance coverage to certain retirees in accordance with the legacy company plans that applied at the time the retiree was actively employed.health and dependent care savings accounts are also offered.

The UK equivalent of certain health and welfare benefits and insurance coverages are made available to UK employees. UK employees that are invited and elect to join the healthcare insurance program receive this benefit as a benefit-in-kind. UK employees that belong to a Company pension plan receive life insurance coverage with a benefit amount of 7x such employee’s salary. UK employees that have chosen not to join a Company pension plan receive life insurance coverage with a benefit amount of 3x such employee’s salary.

The value of these health and welfare benefits areis not required to be included in the Summary Compensation Table, as they are generally available on a non-discriminatory basis to all full-time employees.

Vacation and Holiday Entitlement

We also provide vacation and other paid holiday entitlement to all employees, including the Named Executive Officers, which we have determined to be comparable to those provided at other similar companies.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

  

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

As required by the pay versus performance rules adopted by the SEC in 2022 (the “PVP Rules”) and in effect for the first time and applicable to this Proxy Statement, the Pay Versus Performance Table provides information about Named Executive Officer compensation set forth in this Proxy Statement, as well as compensation for the Named Executive Officers set forth in our 2023, 2022, and 2021 Proxy Statements (each of 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2022,2023, a “Covered Year”). The Pay Versus Performance Table also provides results of certain financial performance measures during those same Covered Years.

In reviewing this information, there are a few important things to consider:

The information in columns (B) and (D) comes directly from this and prior year’s Summary Compensation Tables, without adjustment unless otherwise noted (such totals being referred to herein as the “SCT Total”);

As required by the PVP Rules, we describe the information in columns (C) and (E) as “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to the applicable Named Executive Officers, but these amounts do not necessarily reflect compensation that our Named Executive Officers actually earned for their service in the Covered Years. Instead, CAP reflects a calculation involving a combination of realized pay (for cash amounts and some equity award amounts) and realizable or accrued pay (primarily for pension benefits and other equity awards);

The PVP Rules require that we choose a peer group for purposes of TSR comparisons, and we have chosen the same peer groups utilized by the Company for purposes of measuring total shareholder return performance with respect to performance-based equity awards. Accordingly, these peer groups differ for eachsome of the Covered Year,Years, as the Remuneration Committee revised said peer group in 2022, utilizing the companies included in the Company’s GICS Code as of March 1, 2022, rather than comparable companies selected by the Remuneration Committee with reference to market data. The companies comprising the peer group for each Covered Year are detailed in footnotes 3 through 5 of the Pay Versus Performance Table on page 6874 (collectively and individually referred to herein as the “PVP Peer Group”); and

As required by the PVP Rules, we provide information about our cumulative TSR, cumulative PVP Peer Group TSR, results, and US GAAP net income results during the Covered Years in the Pay Versus Performance Table.

Pursuant to the PVP Rules, the Company is required to designate one financial measure as the “Company-Selected Measure,” or the most important financial measure that demonstrates how the Company sought to link executive compensation to Company performance in the fiscal year. For 2022,2023, the Company selected adjusted EBITA. However, the Company believes that all of the measures designated under the “Important Financial Performance Measures” section on page 7076 are important drivers of Company performance that are designed to link executive compensation to performance.

(1)Andy Butcher’s compensation is not included within column (B) and column (C) for the years 2021 and 2020, as he was not the PEO at that time. His compensation is, however, included within columns (D) and (E) for 2021 and 2020 when he was employed as a Non-PEO Named Executive Officer.

(2)Non-PEO Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) included within columns (D) and (E) in 2023 are: Stephen Webster, Howard Mead, Jeffrey Moorefield, and Graham Wardlow. The Non-PEO NEOs included within columns (D) and (E) for 2022 are: Stephen Webster, Peter Gibbons, Jeffrey Moorefield, and Graham Wardlow. Heather Harding is not included as a Non-PEO NEO in 2022, given she resigned as CFO effective March 1, 2022 and served in an advisory role for the remainder of fiscal year 2022. As a result, the compensation paid to Ms. Harding in 2022 distorts the 2022 average SCT and CAP figures included in columns (D) and (E), justifying exclusion. The Non-PEO NEOs included within columns (D) and (E) for 2021 are: Andy Butcher, Stephen Webster, Graham Wardlow, and Heather HardingHarding. The Non-PEO NEOs included within columns (D) and (E) for 2020 are: Andy Butcher, Graham Wardlow, Heather Harding, and James Gardella.

(3)For 2023 and 2022, the average Peer Group Total Shareholder Return was calculated with reference to the following companies: Albany International Corp.; Barnes Group, Inc.; Chart Industries, Inc.; CIRCOR International, Inc.; Columbus McKinnon Corporation; Energy Recovery, Inc.; Enerpac Tool Group Corp.; EnPro Industries, Inc.; ESCO Technologies, Inc.; Evoqua Water Technologies Corp.; Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation; Graham Corporation; Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation; Helios Technologies, Inc.; Hillman Solutions Corp.; Hurco Companies, Inc.; Kadant Inc;.

(4)For 2021, the average Peer Group Total Shareholder Return was calculated with reference to the following companies: Barnes Group, Inc.; Cabot Corporation; Carpenter Technology Corporation; Colfax Corporation; Element Solutions, Inc.; Ferroglobe PLC; Graco Inc.; Hexagon Composites ASA; Hexcel Corporation; Kaiser Aluminum Corporation; Koppers Holdings Inc.; Materion Corporation; MSA Safety Incorporated; Mueller Industries, Inc.; Neo Performance Materials Inc.; Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc.; SunCoke Energy Inc.; TPI Composites Inc.; TriMas Corporation; and Worthington Industries Inc.

(5)For 2020, the average Peer Group Total Shareholder Return was calculated with reference to the following companies: Barnes Group, Inc.; Cabot Corporation; Carpenter Technology Corporation; Colfax Corporation; Element Solutions, Inc;, Graco Inc.; Grupo Simec SAB de CV; Hexagon Composites ASA; Hexcel Corporation; Kaiser Aluminum Corporation; Koppers Holdings Inc.; Materion Corporation; MSA Safety Incorporated; Mueller Industries, Inc.; Neo Performance Materials Inc.; Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc.; SunCoke Energy Inc.; TPI Composites Inc.; TriMas Corporation; and Worthington Industries Inc.

(6)For each Covered Year, in determining both the CAP for our PEO and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs, we deducted or added back the following amounts from or to the total amounts of compensation reported in column (b) and column (d) of the Summary Compensation Table for such Covered Year:

the aggregate change in actuarial present value of the accumulated benefit under all defined benefit and actuarial pension plans reported in the Summary Compensation Table;

values reported in the Annual Equity Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table;

for any equity awards granted in the Covered Year that are outstanding and unvested as of December 31 of the relevant Covered Year, the year-end fair value of said awards is added;

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

  

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

for any awards granted in years prior to the Covered Year that are outstanding and unvested as of December 31 of the relevant Covered Year, the increase in fair value is added (or the decrease in fair value is deducted) by comparing the fair value as of December 31 of the Covered Year to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year;

for awards that are granted and vest in the same Covered Year, the fair value as of the vesting date is added;

for awards granted in prior years that vest in the Covered Year, the increase in fair value is added (or the decrease in fair value is deducted), by comparing the fair value on the vesting date with the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and

for awards granted in prior years that are deemed to fail to meet the applicable vesting condition during the Covered Year, the fair value as of December 31 of the prior fiscal year is deducted.

(7)TSR as set forth in the Pay Versus Performance Table assumes, in each case, an initial fixed investment of $100 on January 1 of that year, in Luxfer ordinary shares for our cumulative TSR, and in the PVP Peer Group for the PVP Peer Group cumulative TSR, based on market prices at the end of each fiscal year reported, and reinvestment of dividends.

(8)Net income for the purposes of this pay versus performance disclosure is calculated as the consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries, determined in accordance with US GAAP.

(9)For purposes of this pay versus performance disclosure, adjusted EBITA is calculated based on operating income adjusted for share-based compensation charges; loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment; restructuring charges; acquisitions and disposals costs; other charges; and amortization. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITA as used for external reporting to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

RELATIONSHIPSRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPENSATION ACTUALLY PAID AND CERTAIN PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The PVP Rules require that comparisons be made between certain columns in the Pay Versus Performance Table. Such comparisons can be provided graphically without further explanation, and we have done so below. In accordance with that approach, the following charts and graphs show the relationships between (i) our cumulative TSR, the cumulative TSR for the PVP Peer Group reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table above, and our PEO CAP and average CAP for Non-PEO NEOs, as applicable; (ii) the Company’s net income, and our PEO CAP and average CAP for Non-PEO NEOs, as applicable; and (iii) the Company’s adjusted EBITA, and our PEO CAP and average CAP for Non-PEO NEOs, as applicable, for each of the Covered Years.

COMPENSATION-RELATED POLICIES AND
ARRANGEMENTS

COMPENSATION-RELATED RISK

The Company’s executive and broad-based compensation programs are intended to promote decision-making that supports a pay for performance philosophy and utilize the following design features to mitigate risk:

Balance of fixed and variable or at-riskpay opportunities

 

Stock ownership guidelines and requirements

Oversight by Remuneration Committee comprised of independent Non-Executive Directors

 

Regular risk assessments, particularly when implementing any changes to compensation programs

Multiple performance measures and performance periods, as well as capped payouts

 

Enhanced clawback policy

Performance measures and targets set at a Company-
wide
Company-wide or Business Unit level

 

Anti-hedging policy

Incentive Plan limits on individual awards, pool size, and accelerated vesting

 

Institutional focus on ethical behavior through deployment of Luxfer Values and Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

Remuneration Committee oversight of equity burn rate and dilution

  

The Remuneration Committee, in consultation with management, conducts aan annual review of the Company’s compensation plans and practices with respect to risk. To aid in this review, the Remuneration Committee consulted with Meridian, the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, to identify risk aggravators and mitigating factors, particularly in the incentive programs offered to executives, and opine whether such programs and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In considering Meridian’s analysis and its own discussions, with and without management present, the Remuneration Committee concluded that the Company’s compensation programs and practices are not reasonably likely to incentivize employees to take risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The reasons for concluding that Luxfer’s executive and broad-based compensation programs do not create material risk for the Company include the fact that the Company (i) implements risk mitigation mechanisms; specifically, it utilizes a variety of short performance periods ranging from one to three years, measures performance at a Company-wide and Business Unit level, considers discretionary individual performance factors,uses a formulaic approach, and utilizes the Remuneration Committee to oversee awards to executives and employees; (ii) sufficiently monitors the appropriateness of the compensation and benefit plans that are available to Luxfer’s executives and employees; and (iii) leverages the expertise of third party advisors, such as Meridian, where necessary to ensure that Luxfer’s compensation programs are appropriate when compared to market.

CLAWBACK POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Luxfer has established policies and procedures for the recovery of incentive compensation, which apply to all employees,Executive Officers, our Named Executive Officers, Directors, and Directors in relationemployees who receive performance-based incentive compensation. All recipients of incentive compensation are subject to the recovery or clawback policies set forth in the award agreement issued in conjunction with their receipt of certain incentive compensation.

These award agreements provide for recovery of the annual cash incentive and equity awards granted with respect to suchany misstated financial results may occur.discovered by the Company. The Remuneration Committee has discretion in applying such policy to recover or recoup incentive compensation in situations involving a material misstatement of financial results. Furthermore, the Remuneration Committee may take into account any factors it deems reasonable in determining whether to seek recoupment of previously paid incentive compensation; how much incentive compensation to recoup from individual Executive Officers, employees, and Directors; and the form of such incentive compensation to be recouped. Given

Notably, our Named Executive Officers, including all of the SEC’s adoptionCompany’s current and former executive officers, are subject to the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy, established in accordance with section 10D of new Rule 10D-1, the Company will continue to monitorExchange Act and section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards applicableExchange Listed Company Manual. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to Rule 10Dthem in the Executive Compensation Clawback Policy. The following summary of the key provisions of this Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified, in its entirety, by reference to the full text of the Policy.

Under the Executive Compensation Clawback Policy, in the event the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Company is required to recover any Incentive-1-Based Compensation received by a Covered Executive during the three (3) completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Restatement Date, provided that the Incentive-Based Compensation received by such Covered Executive is in excess of the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that the Covered Executive would have otherwise received had it been determined on the restated amounts or after giving effect to the Accounting Restatement. In Luxfer’s case, this Policy generally applies, but is not limited, to annual cash incentives (or portions thereof that are based upon financial metrics, such as EBITA, Cash Conversion, and revise,Revenue) and performance-based equity awards, such as necessary, its current clawback policyawards related to earnings per share and total shareholder return performance. The Board of Directors retains discretion as to the recovery method to be used. Recovery methods may include, but are not limited to: (i) repayment of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company (or, if required by the Company, any other person specified by the Company) in accordance withthe event the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is a cash incentive; (ii) payment of a cash equivalent to the Company (or, if required by the Company, any other person specified by the Company) in the event the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is an equity award; or (iii) transfer to the Company (or, if required by the Company, any other person specified by the Company) all or some of the shares acquired by the Covered Executive pursuant to an equity award that constitutes Erroneously Awarded Compensation. There are limited exceptions to the recovery requirement established under this Policy. The recovery requirement shall not apply to the extent that both of the following factors are satisfied: (a) the independent directors of the Board and/or the Company’s Remuneration Committee (comprised solely of independent directors) has determined that recovery would be impracticable; and (b) either (i) the direct expense paid by the Company to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the Erroneously Awarded Compensation to be recovered, (ii) recovery would violate home country law where said law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022, or (iii) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements thereof.of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C 411(a) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on the expense of enforcement, as detailed in (b)(i) above, the Company must make a reasonable attempt to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation, document its reasonable recovery attempt(s), and provide the documentation to the NYSE.

Except in the event of termination for Cause or a Change in Control, the Company reserves the right, in lieu of notice and without giving any reason, to pay Mr. Wardlow his gross salary (less such tax and national insurance, and any pension contributions, as may be properly deductible) for the Notice Period or outstanding balance thereof, without any further liability on the part of the Company. Outstanding equity awards as of the termination date are handled in accordance with the rules of the LTIP, which provide that, except in the event of termination for Cause and subject to the Remuneration Committee’s discretion, (i) the portion of any time-based option that has not become vested or exercisable as of the date of such termination shall immediately lapse and (ii) any performance-based option shall vest in accordance with the rules of the LTIP, which considers performance as of the termination date and the total and elapsed number of days in the performance period. The portion of any option that is or becomes vested or exercisable as of the date of termination will lapse on the first anniversary of the date of termination to the extent not theretofore exercised. In the event of termination for Cause, all options, whether then vested or exercisable or not, shall immediately lapse on such termination.

________________________

7 As Alok Maskara’s and Heather Harding’s employment contracts were voluntarily terminated in accordance with their terms, and therefore the triggering event is not assumed to have occurred on the last business day of the Company’s last completed fiscal year, an analysis of their employment contracts is not provided herein.

Andy Butcher.If Mr. Butcher’s employment is terminated in connection with a Change in Control (other than for Cause) and Mr. Butcher does not receive an offer of employment for an Equivalent Position with a Successor, then Mr. Butcher will be eligible to receive (i) a redundancy payment equal to two times his base salary at the annualized rate in effect on the effective date of termination; (ii) a payment equal to the actual cash incentive earned for the fiscal year in which employment terminates, as determined in accordance with the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan then in effect; however, if the actual cash incentive earned has not been determined as of the effective date of the termination, then the cash incentive will be paid at the Target level; (iii) immediate vesting of all outstanding, unvested time-based equity awards, which may be settled in cash or shares in accordance with the rules of the LTIP; and (iv) immediate vesting of any performance-based equity awards, which may be settled in cash or shares and which amount shall be calculated in accordance with the rules of the LTIP. Subject to the Remuneration Committee’s discretion, the formula set forth in the LTIP considers performance as of the termination date and the total and elapsed number of days in the performance period.

Stephen Webster.If Mr. Webster’s employment is terminated in connection with a Change in Control and Mr. Webster does not receive an offer of employment for an Equivalent Position with a Successor, then Mr. Webster will be eligible to receive (i) a redundancy payment equal to two times his base salary at the annualized rate in effect on the termination date; (ii) a payment equal to the actual cash incentive earned for the year in which his employment terminates, as determined in accordance with the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan then in effect; however, if the actual cash incentive earned has not been determined as of the termination date because the relevant performance period remains ongoing, then the cash incentive will be paid at Target level; (iii) immediate vesting of all outstanding, unvested time-based equity awards, which may be settled in cash or shares in accordance with the rules of the LTIP; and (iv) immediate vesting of any performance-based equity awards, which may be settled in cash or shares and which amount shall be calculated in accordance with the rules of the LTIP. Subject to the Remuneration Committee’s discretion, the formula set forth in the LTIP considers performance as of the termination date and the total and elapsed number of days in the performance period.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

2023 PENSION BENEFITS

Luxfer’s pension plans, the Luxfer Group Pension Plan and the Luxfer Group Supplementary Pension Plan (“Salaried Pension Plans”), were closed to new participants in 1998 but remained open for accrual of future benefits based on career-average salary until April 5, 2016. The Salaried Pension Plans are now frozen. Participants in the Salaried Pension Plans no longer earn additional credited service, and changes in salary for a participant are not considered in determining pension benefits. The Salaried Pension Plans were frozen consistent with contemporary benefit practices.

The Named Executive Officers who were employed by Luxfer on or before 1998 participate on the same basis as other salaried employees in the non-contributory Salaried Pension Plans. Stephen Webster, Peter Gibbons,Howard Mead, and Jeffrey Moorefield Alok Maskara, and Heather Harding do not participate in the Salaried Pension Plans because they joined Luxfer following the Salaried Pension Plans’ closure to new participants in 1998.

The table below lists the number of years of credited service and present value of accumulated pension benefits as of December 31, 2022,2023, for each of the Named Executive Officers who participated in the Salaried Pension Plans. The disclosed amounts are actuarial estimates only and do not necessarily reflect the actual amounts that will be paid to the Named Executive Officers, which will only be known at the time they become eligible for payment.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

  

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

CEO

PAY RATIO

In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to provide certain information concerning the ratio between the annual total compensation of Luxfer’s CEO, Andy Butcher, and the annual total compensation of the Company’s median compensated employee (“MCE”), in each case generally calculated in the manner that annual total compensation is calculated for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table.

Methodology

Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K requires the identification of a median compensated employee at least once every three years. We identified a different MCE during and for fiscal year 20222023 for the purposes of calculating the CEO Pay Ratio. As of December 31, 2022,2023, Luxfer had approximately 1,3501,391 employees worldwide. Pursuant to the 5% de minimusexception established by the SEC, we excluded a total of 6359 employees from this analysis, given the number of employees working at these facilities. The countries and applicable number of employees that were excluded from this analysis were as follows:

Country

Headcount

Australia

32

Canada

4543

China

1514

From the remaining 1,2871,332 employees, we identified the MCE via payroll data, calculating annual total compensation for these 1,2871,332 employees using the same methodology that we use to determine the annual total compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table. This calculation included adding the employee’s actual fiscal 20222023 hourly pay; overtime pay; fiscal 20222023 bonus or cash incentive, if any; perquisites, such as mobile phone allowance, if any; amounts contributed by Luxfer to the employee’s individual defined contribution account in fiscal year 2022;2023; Company contributions to the employee’s ESPP or SIP account, if applicable; and any equity awards granted to the employee in 20222023 (valued as of the grant date).

The MCE identified and used for purposes of determining our CEO Pay Ratio for fiscal year 20222023 was an officea manufacturing employee at one of the Company’s UKU.S. facilities. The MCE’s annual total compensation was translated from pounds sterling into US dollars at the following average exchange rate for 2022: £1: US$1.2333.

Conclusion

The MCE’s total compensation for fiscal year 20222023 was US$53,215.60,628. Mr. Butcher’s compensation for purposes of the ratio totaled US$2,348,216,1,823,752, being the same as that reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 7583 of this Proxy Statement. Based on the foregoing information, the ratio between our CEO’s total 20222023 compensation and the median total compensation of our workforce is estimated to be 4430 to 1.

SEC rules and guidance for identifying the median annual total compensation of employees and calculating the pay ratio based on the MCE’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies; to apply certain exclusions; and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect employee populations and compensation practices.Accordingly, the pay ratios reported by other companies may not be comparable to Luxfer’s pay ratio, as other companies may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
REPORT

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, internal control over financial reporting, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Company’s internal audit function is responsible for, among other things, evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control processes, and governance practices. The Independent Auditor is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, the fairness of the presentation of the Company’s financial statement schedules, and the effectiveness of internal controlscontrol over financial reporting in accordance with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). standards. The role of the Audit Committee is to oversee the foregoing activities.

Management completed its evaluation of the Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting pursuant to the requirements set forth in Sectionsection 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations. The Audit Committee was kept apprised of the progress of the evaluation and provided oversight during the process. In connection with this oversight, the Committee received periodic updates provided by management and the internal audit function at each regularly scheduled Committee meeting. At the conclusionThe effectiveness of the process, management concluded that the Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2022 and reported its conclusion to2023 was audited by the Audit Committee. The Committee reviewed Management’s AssessmentIndependent Auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as more fully described in Item 8 of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20222023, filed with the SEC on March 1,February 27, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”). At the conclusion of the process, management concluded that the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, due to a material weakness in certain of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As described more fully in Item 9A of the Form 10-K, management identified a lack of controls related to the Company’s accounting for inventory in transit. As a result, management concluded it did not properly design or maintain effective risk assessment control activities to allow for timely reassessment of the material risk of misstatement in financial reporting. While this material weakness could result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, it did not result in a misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements filed or included in the Form 10-K.

Following the identification of the material weakness described above, management developed and is actively executing a remediation plan to address the material weakness. Management implemented a new period-end control over the recording of inventory in transit. Management also plans to develop and design enhanced risk assessment procedures to identify and analyze changes in the business that could have a significant impact on financial reporting and determine actions necessary to mitigate new or evolving risks. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until management has implemented their plan and operated the controls for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

The Committee reviewed Management’s Assessment of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting set forth in Item 9A of the Form 10-K, as well as the Independent Auditor’s Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.Firm set forth in Item 8 of the Form 10-K. The Committee concurred with the Independent Auditor’s opinion and management’s conclusion that (i) the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, due to the material weakness described above; and (ii) the consolidated financial statements set forth in the Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years preceding the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Furthermore, the Audit Committee met with the Company’s accounting and financial management team, the internal audit function, and the Independent Auditor to review the Company’s annual and quarterly periodic reports containing consolidated financial statements prior to the Company’s filing of such reports with the SEC. The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s internal auditors and the Independent Auditor the overall scope and plans for their

Page 91

respective audits. The Committee meets with the Company’s internal auditors and the Independent Auditor, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements with management, and discussed the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgements,judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. Additionally, in conformance with PCAOB rules, the Committee reviewed and discussed with the Independent Auditor one critical audit matter arising from the current period audit of the Company’s financial statements. A critical audit matter (“CAM”) is defined to be any matter arising from the audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (ii) involves especially challenging, subjective, or complex audit judgment. The Committee concurred with the Independent Auditor’s assessment and identification of the CAM contained in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm included withinas Item 8 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In connection with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022,2023, the Audit Committee has:

reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited US GAAP consolidated financial statements and UK statutory financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20222023 with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;

discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301 and Rule 2-07 of SEC Regulation S-X, which addresses communication between audit committees and independent registered public accounting firms; and

received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence with representatives of the firm.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT 

  

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

APPENDIX A

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES

Luxfer Holdings PLC prepares its financial statements using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). When a company discloses material information containing non-GAAP financial measures, SEC regulations require that the disclosure include a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Management’s inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures in this Proxy Statement is intended to supplement, not replace, the presentation of the financial results in accordance with GAAP. Luxfer management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company’s business trends and understand the Company’s performance. In addition, management may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in the Company’s forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning process. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table of non-GAAP summary financial data presents a reconciliation of adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITA (also referred to as Management EBITA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net debt, adjusted net income, adjusted net sales, adjusted operating cash flow, free cash flow from continuing operations, net cash from continuing operations, and organic revenue (as calculated with respect to the Business Units) for the periods presented, being the most comparable GAAP measure.

Management believes that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating cash flow, and organic revenue are key performance indicators (“KPIs”) used by the investment community and that such presentation will enhance an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operational results. In addition, Luxfer’s CEO, CFO, and other senior management use these KPIs, among others, to evaluate business performance. However, investors should not consider these metrics in isolation as an alternative to net income, earnings per share, EBITA, EBITDA, operating cash flow, or revenue when evaluating Luxfer’s operating performance or measuring Luxfer’s profitability.

Discontinued Operations

As a result of our decision to exit non-strategic aluminum product lines, such as our Superform aluminum superplastic forming business operating from sites in the UK and US and our US aluminum gas cylinders business, we have reflected the results of operations of these businesses as discontinued operations in the tables below. Certain amounts in prior-year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation primarily due to the classification of these businesses as discontinued operations.

APPENDIX B

DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION POLICY

1.0

INTRODUCTION

1.1

Background.As required by sections 439 and 440 of the Companies Act 2006 (the “Companies Act”), a company incorporated in England and Wales whose shares are publicly listed, whether in or outside of the UK, must submit its Directors’ Remuneration Policy to a binding shareholder vote at least once every three (3) years. The current Directors’ Remuneration Policy was last approved at the 2021 Annual General Meeting held on June 9, 2021, where 99.76% of the votes cast were cast in favor of approving the Directors’ Remuneration Policy. The Board of Directors of Luxfer Holdings PLC (the “Board” and the “Company” respectively) approved at its meeting on March 5, 2024, upon recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, the submission of this Directors’ Remuneration Policy (this “Policy”) to a binding shareholder vote at the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on June 6, 2024 (the “Annual General Meeting” or “AGM”).

1.2

Effective Date.Subject to shareholder approval, this Policy will take effect immediately following conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, without requiring further shareholder action, and will be valid for a period of three (3) years or until a subsequent version is approved by an ordinary resolution of the Company’s shareholders.

2.0

ADMINISTRATION, OBJECTIVES, AND REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES

2.1

Administration. This Policy (i) sets forth the criteria and objectives applicable to the remuneration of the Company’s Directors; and (ii) guides the activities of the Remuneration Committee and the Board with respect to Director remuneration. This Policy is administered by the Remuneration Committee (the “Committee”), with appropriate oversight from and ratification of certain actions by the Board. The Committee considers this Policy annually to ensure it remains aligned with business needs and is appropriately positioned relative to the market. However, in the absence of exceptional or unexpected circumstances which may necessitate change to the Policy, there is currently no intention to revise this Policy more frequently than every three (3) years. The Committee may exercise operational and administrative discretion in several areas, as described in further detail in this Policy, including under relevant standalone award agreements or applicable plan rules. In addition to this Policy, the Committee is governed by the Remuneration Committee Charter, which sets forth the responsibilities of the Committee and the rules governing its composition and conduct.

2.2

Objectives. With respect to Non-Executive Directors, this Policy is intended to remunerate Directors appropriately in accordance with their qualifications, responsibility assumed, and dedication to the Company. The Committee seeks to ensure that such remuneration is in line with market standards and sufficient to attract and retain Directors of the desired profile, but not so high as to compromise the independence of the Non-Executive Directors. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is currently the only Executive Director. With respect to Executive Directors, this Policy aims to attract, retain, and incentivize Executive Directors, tie executive compensation to Company performance, and align executive compensation with shareholder interests and long-term Company value.

2.3

Remuneration Principles. To further these objectives, this Policy is based on the following principles, which are described in further detail below: (i) alignment with shareholder interests and long-term value creation; (ii) talent attraction, motivation, and retention; (iii) professional accountability; (iv) external competitiveness and internal equity; and (v) balance between remuneration components. The Company’s director remuneration programs are specifically designed with these principles in mind, forming a foundation for all remuneration-related actions and decisions.

B-1

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

Alignment with Shareholder Interests and Long-Term Value Creation

Ensure alignment between the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of long-term shareholder value

Tie a significant portion of Executive Director remuneration to Company performance and the achievement of value-enhancing financial, strategic, and sustainability objectives

Talent Attraction, Motivation, and Retention

Offer competitive and fair remuneration to attract, motivate, and retain high-quality talent

Motivate Directors to cultivate sustainable growth and long-term value creation, without imposing unnecessary risk or compromising independence

Consider the evolution of national and international standards, best practices, recommendations, and trends in Director remuneration to ensure remuneration packages remain competitive

Professional Accountability

Compensate each Director’s professional responsibility, accountability, dedication, and experience

Provide transparency with respect to the Company’s director remuneration programs, establishing trust and accountability amongst the Company and its shareholders

External Competitiveness and Internal Equity

Offer remuneration packages that are competitive with that of comparable companies on an international scale, in terms of both structure and overall size

Establish remuneration levels that are appropriate in terms of the Directors’ qualifications, responsibilities, and experience

Ensure that remuneration is fair and non-discriminatory

Balance Between Remuneration Components

Provide appropriate balance between short-term and long-term remuneration to further align Director and shareholder interests

Deliver an overall remuneration package to Executive Directors that includes multiple components to ensure balance between fixed and variable or at-risk remuneration

2.4Prior Policies and Commitments. For the duration of this Policy, the Company will honor any commitments made in respect of director remuneration before the date on which either (i) this Policy becomes effective or (ii) an individual becomes a Director, even where such commitments are not consistent with the Remuneration Policy prevailing at the time any such commitment is fulfilled. This includes, without limitation, all existing equity awards that remain outstanding and any commitments agreed, such as previous grants of equity awards, consistent with a previously approved Remuneration Policy that was applicable at the relevant time.

3.0

PROPOSED POLICY CHANGES

3.1

Proposed Policy Changes. While this Policy does not contain any additional remuneration components that were not included in Remuneration Policies previously approved by the Company’s shareholders, certain changes were made to allow for consideration of the latest remuneration practices and benchmarking studies when setting Director remuneration. The key changes proposed to be made under this Policy include:

an increase in the maximum amount of equity awards that may be awarded to Non-Executive Directors, from 100% of the Non-Executive Director’s annual retainer fee to 150%; and

to ensure consistent application, removal of the clawback policies set forth in this Policy, given that the Company maintains other policies related to the recovery of incentive or performance-based compensation, which are set forth in a standalone Executive Compensation Clawback Policy adopted in accordance with section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, as well as award agreements applicable to equity awards and other incentive-based compensation issued pursuant to the Company’s Long-Term Umbrella Incentive Plan and Non-Executive Directors Equity Incentive Plan.

4.0

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION

4.1

Remuneration Components. Each component comprising Executive Director remuneration is described in the below table, including the purpose of such component and its relevance to the Company’s remuneration principles described herein, its operation, the maximum opportunity available to Executive Director(s), any applicable performance measures, and relevant policies with respect to the recovery, withholding, or payment of said remuneration.

B-2

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

FIXED REMUNERATION

BASE SALARY

Purpose

Attract, retain, and incentivize talented executives who can deliver on the Company’s strategic and financial objectives

Recognize market value of the role and an individual’s skills, experience, and performance to ensure the Company attracts and retains high-caliber talent

Offer competitive remuneration

Operation

Salaries are reviewed annually and normally fixed for a period of twelve (12) months from January 1st to December 31st. Salaries are paid in equal monthly installments, either monthly or semimonthly. The setting and adjustment of salaries consider numerous factors, including:

compensation packages for executives of the same position at comparable companies;

competitive conditions for the executive’s role in the broader employment market;

the executive’s level of responsibility, experience, performance, and skills;

market data and pay practices in the United States and United Kingdom;

rises in the cost of living, inflation, and market rates;

scale of the Company’s operations;

company and/or business unit performance, size, and revenue, including affordability in relation thereto;

total remuneration level; and

adjustments throughout the rest of the organization

Maximum Opportunity

There is no prescribed maximum to base salaries to avoid setting expectations. Salaries are typically set at or about the median salaries of the external comparator group, as determined by the Committee in consultation with its independent compensation consultant. The Committee retains discretion to adjust salaries, at or about the median salaries of the external comparator group, to maximize the Company’s top-quartile performance. When the Committee is satisfied that salaries are at or about the median of the external comparator group, annual increases are typically limited to the general level of increases given to the Company’s wider workforce, but may be higher in certain circumstances, such as a change in the role or an increase in responsibilities, in which case the Committee adjusts salaries at its discretion, with reference to available benchmark data.

Performance Measure

None

Policies on Recovery, Withholding, or Payment

Not Applicable

PERQUISITES AND BENEFITS

Purpose

Aid in the recruitment and retention of high-caliber talent

Offer total remuneration packages that are market-competitive

Operation

Perquisites and benefits include (i) an annual perquisite allowance; (ii) health and welfare benefits, such as medical, dental, and vision insurance; and (iii) life and disability insurance. These benefits are provided directly by the Company or through the Company’s benefit plans or pension schemes. Additional perquisites or benefits may be provided where required by law or to align with market practice, so long as such benefits are not significant in value. The Company may introduce new benefits that become prevalent in the jurisdiction in which it operates or in which an Executive Director is located. Where an Executive Director is relocated, benefits such as relocation expenses, travel expenses, accommodation, tax equalization, professional advice, and post-retirement medical expenses may be provided. As to the annual perquisite allowance, the Company provides a monthly cash stipend to allow Executive Directors more flexibility and choice. Perquisite allowances are intended to cover expenses incidental to the executive’s employment responsibilities, such as use of their personal automobile and mobile phone for business purposes. Perquisite allowances are not considered in cash incentive and equity award calculations, which are calculated with reference to base salary, and cannot be contributed to the Company’s 401(k) plan or otherwise considered in pension calculations.

Maximum Opportunity

Perquisites and benefits are set at a level which the Committee considers to be appropriate against comparable roles in companies of similar size in the relevant market. No maximum value is set, but the Committee regularly monitors the overall cost of these benefits to ensure they are affordable, competitive, and in line with market practice.

Performance Measure

None

Policies on Recovery, Withholding, or Payment

Not Applicable



RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Purpose

Provide competitive post-retirement benefits or cash equivalent

Encourage and enable individuals to build savings towards their retirement

Operation

Executive Directors are eligible to participate in the Company’s defined contribution plans or retirement savings plans. The Company previously maintained defined benefit pension plans; however, those plans were frozen in 2016, consistent with contemporary benefit practices. The Company makes contributions to pension plans or retirement savings plans (i) in accordance with the terms of such plans; (ii) in accordance with regulatory requirements; and (iii) to match prevailing local market practices. In certain circumstances, such as when an individual Director’s retirement savings is restricted by one or more tax allowance, an equivalent allocation or payment may be made to an unregistered alternative savings vehicle or as a salary supplement in lieu of pension contributions. Arrangements are reviewed annually to ensure consistency with market practice and to take into account the effect of regulatory changes on an individual Director’s benefits.

Maximum Opportunity

The UK defined contribution plan provides a maximum Company contribution of 25% of base salary with respect to the current Executive Director. With limited exceptions, the Company’s 401(k) savings plan currently provides matching Company contributions up to six percent (6%) of base salary, subject to US statutory limits

Operation

The annual cash incentive is awarded with respect to the achievement of certain performance targets over the previous financial year. Performance measures and relevant targets are set at the beginning of the financial year. Historically, these performance measures have included EBITA, Cash Conversion, and Revenue. However, the Committee may select non-financial performance measures, such as personal, operational, or other objectives. Cash incentives are awarded for achieving performance targets on a sliding scale between “Threshold,” “Budget,” and “Maximum” and measured against the budgeted levels approved by the Committee for the financial year. Although the cash incentive program uses a formulaic approach, the Committee retains discretion in administering the program, which discretion includes selecting the performance measures prior to commencement of the performance period; setting and adjusting Threshold, Budget, and Maximum targets; and assessing financial and operational results.

Maximum Opportunity

The annual cash incentive is capped at 200% of an Executive Director’s base salary.

Performance Measure

Performance measures and “Threshold,” “Budget,” and “Maximum” targets are set by the Committee at the beginning of the financial year, with reference to the Company’s budget for the applicable financial year. The weight assigned to each performance measure may be adjusted annually and is driven by the Company’s strategy, financial goals, and requirement to continuously improve financial performance and operating efficiencies.

Policies on Recovery, Withholding, or Payment

If an Executive Director’s employment with the Company terminates, and subject to the Committee’s determination that the Executive Director qualifies as a “good leaver,” the annual cash incentive for the financial year in which employment terminates is paid at Budget level and prorated to reflect actual dates of service in the relevant financial year.

The annual cash incentive is subject to the Company’s clawback and recovery policies, as in effect from time to time, including, without limitation the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy adopted in accordance with section 10D of the Exchange Act, and those policies set forth in applicable award agreements.

EQUITY AWARDS

Purpose

Align executive awards with returns to shareholders through personal financial investment in the Company

Promote and reward the achievement of key performance targets and strategic objectives

Attract, retain, and incentivize high-caliber talent

Operation

Equity awards are issued to Executive Directors under the Company’s Long-Term Umbrella Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). The size of the award is based on a targeted percentage of base salary, which is divided by the share price to determine the number of awards to be issued. The Committee considers the type, level, and vesting criteria of awards annually to ensure alignment with shareholder interests and Company strategy. The LTIP provides the Committee discretion to grant time-based, performance-based, or market value awards in the form of Options, Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), Restricted Stock, Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs), and other stock-based awards or a combination of such awards.

The award type or combination of award types is based upon what the Committee considers to be the market norm in the US and UK and the particular circumstances under which the award is made. Awards are made and satisfied through the use of existing treasury shares or the issue of new shares.

The Committee retains discretion (as deemed appropriate to a “good leaver” in a particular circumstance, such as retirement of long-serving employees or due to illness or disability) to: (i) accelerate vesting and exercise dates; (ii) waive conditions to vesting, exercise, or transferability; and (iii) extend exercise periods after termination of employment.

Awards may be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of both, at the discretion of the Committee, in accordance with the Company’s and its shareholders’ best interests. Awards may accrue dividends or dividend equivalents, under the rules of the LTIP and at the discretion of the Committee, which are payable in cash or shares. Dividend equivalents in respect of unvested awards may be paid, in cash or shares, at the time of vesting (or exercise, in the case of Options) and are not taken into account when determining an individual’s maximum opportunity with respect to equity awards.

Maximum Opportunity

The maximum award in any financial year may not exceed 300% of an Executive Director’s base salary. The maximum amount of dividend paid with respect to any award is limited to the dividends paid on the ordinary share over which the awards are granted between the grant date and vesting date.

Performance Measure

The Committee retains discretion to use a range of performance measures for performance-based awards, as deemed appropriate to support the long-term strategy of the Company at the time of grant. In recent years, the Committee has used profit, cash flow, Earnings Per Share (EPS), and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance measures in various combinations. The weight assigned to each performance measure may be adjusted annually and is driven by the Company’s strategy, financial goals, and requirement to continuously improve financial performance and operating efficiencies.

Policies on Recovery, Withholding, or Payment

Equity awards, particularly performance-based awards, are subject to the Company’s clawback and recovery policies, as in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy adopted in accordance with section 10D of the Exchange Act, and those policies set forth in applicable Award Agreements.

EMPLOYEE SHARE PLANS

Purpose

Encourage stock ownership by all employees

Increase alignment of employee and shareholder interests through personal financial investment in the Company

Operation

Executive Directors are eligible to participate in the Company’s UK Share Incentive Plan (the “UK SIP”) or US Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “US ESPP”) under the same conditions as all other employees. The UK SIP is an HMRC approved plan, subject to prescribed limits, to provide all eligible employees, including Executive Directors, with a tax-efficient method of purchasing ordinary shares out of monthly savings over a six month accumulation period. The Company currently provides 1 free matching share for every 2 shares purchased. Dividends on both purchased and matching shares are used to purchase additional shares. The US ESPP also allows eligible employees, including Executive Directors, a cost-efficient way of purchasing ordinary shares at a discounted rate out of regular payroll contributions made by the participant over a six (6) month offering period. The Company may offer additional share incentive schemes, where practical, on a cost-efficient basis.

Maximum Opportunity

Participants in the UK SIP can invest up to £150 per month (£1,800 per annum) or 10% of salary, if lower, in any tax year to purchase ordinary shares using the participant’s contributions at the end of each accumulation period. Such purchases are made at the lower of (i) the price at the start of the accumulation period or (ii) the price immediately before purchase. The maximum number of shares purchased by the participant through contributions is matched, at a minimum, 1:2 by the Company.

Participants in the US ESPP can purchase a maximum of 1,500 shares per each 6-month offering period and invest up to $25,000 annually.

In other jurisdictions where the Company operates, the plan(s) may have a maximum opportunity commensurate with the UK plan or applicable legislation, if deemed appropriate by the Committee.

2024 PROXY STATEMENT 

4.3Alignment with Employee Remuneration. The Committee considers the remuneration framework and practices applicable to other Luxfer employees when setting Executive Director remuneration. In this respect, the remuneration policy applicable to Executive Directors is aligned with that of other Luxfer employees and shares the following principles:

The Committee’s approach to annual salary reviews is consistent with the approach used across the Company, with consideration given to the scope of the role, level of responsibility, experience, performance, and market data for similar roles at other companies.

Senior, middle, and lower management may participate in an annual cash incentive program with similar structures and performance measures to those used for Executive Directors, although these bonuses are set at a lower percentage of base salary. Other employees may participate in performance-based incentive programs, which vary by organizational level and contain various performance measures relevant to the particular business or function. In general, there is a greater emphasis on performance-related pay for management, and cash incentive opportunities for other employees may be lower or not available, depending on the jurisdiction.

Equity awards issued under the LTIP, particularly performance-based awards, are limited to Executive Directors, executives, and certain senior officers or managers in the Company. The nature of any award under the LTIP depends on the individual’s location, role, and responsibilities. At the discretion of the Committee, time-based awards or market value awards may be awarded to employees in recognition of outstanding performance and to encourage stock ownership and retention.

Executive Directors are eligible to participate in the UK SIP and US ESPP on the same basis as other employees.

Participation in defined contribution or retirement savings plans are generally provided to all eligible employees on the same basis. Pension arrangements are offered where it is the norm in the jurisdiction in which the employee is located. Where local regulation permits and where it is market norm, higher contributions may be available for more senior management. The Company’s primary pension schemes and retirement savings plans are described in the Company’s financial statements.

Benefits available to Luxfer employees generally include health and welfare benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, and life and disability insurance benefits. Executives and certain senior officers or managers may also receive perquisites, such as a mobile phone or car allowances. However, the perquisites and benefits available are dependent on the employee’s position and the market norms of the jurisdiction in which they are located.

While Executive Director and employee remuneration are aligned in many respects, differences are due to levels of responsibility, seniority, and market norms in the jurisdictions in which such persons are employed.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION

5.1Remuneration Components. Each component comprising Non-Executive Director remuneration is described in the below table, including the purpose of such component and its relevance to the Company’s remuneration principles described herein, its operation, the maximum opportunity available to Non-Executive Directors, any applicable performance measures, and relevant policies with respect to the recovery, withholding, or payment of said remuneration.

FIXED REMUNERATION

ANNUAL RETAINER FEE

Purpose

Recruit and retain qualified Non-Executive Directors

Attract Non-Executive Directors who have a broad range of experience and skills to provide independent judgment on matters affecting the Company

Offer competitive remuneration to Non-Executive Directors in line with market practice

Operation

Each Non-Executive Director receives an annual retainer fee for their service, with an additional amount payable for acting as the Board Chair. Non-Executive Directors do not receive supplemental fees for acting as the chair of any Board committees or their respective committee responsibilities. The Committee reserves the discretion to implement such supplemental fees if deemed appropriate and in line with market practice.

Annual retainer fees are reviewed annually. In setting and reviewing the annual retainer, the Committee considers a variety of factors, including inflation, market rates, affordability, total remuneration levels, pay practices in both the US and UK, and increases in remuneration throughout the rest of the Company.

Non-Executive Directors may choose to forego annual or periodic increases to their annual retainer in lieu of an equivalent value of equity awards. The annual retainers are denominated in USD and paid in equal monthly installments.

Maximum Opportunity

There is no prescribed maximum with respect to annual retainers paid to Non-Executive Directors to avoid setting expectations. Retainers are regularly reviewed and increased in line with market practice.

EQUITY AWARDS

Purpose

Increase alignment of Non-Executive Director and shareholder interests through personal financial investment in the Company

Offer total remuneration packages that are market-competitive

Operation

Non-Executive Directors receive annual, non-discretionary equity awards under the Company’s Non-Executive Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”) in the form of Options, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). Awards are made once annually, within ten days of the Annual General Meeting. The awards vest the day prior to the following year’s Annual General Meeting. New Non-Executive Directors cannot participate in the annual equity awards until they have served six months on the Board; however, the awards they would have earned from the date of their appointment are added to the next annual award, provided they are elected or re-elected at the Annual General Meeting.

The size of the award is based on a targeted percentage of the annual retainer fee, which is divided by the share price to determine the number of awards to be issued. The award type or combination of award types is based upon what the Committee considers to be the market norm in the US and UK and the particular circumstances under which the award is made. Awards are made and satisfied through the use of existing treasury shares or the issue of new shares. The Committee retains discretion to: (i) accelerate vesting and exercise dates; (ii) waive conditions to vesting, exercise, or transferability; and (iii) extend exercise periods after cessation of directorship. Awards may be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of both, at the discretion of the Committee, in accordance with the Company’s best interests. Awards, other than Options, may accrue dividends or dividend equivalents, under the rules of the EIP and at the discretion of the Committee, which are payable in cash or shares. Dividends equivalents in respect of unvested awards, other than Options, may be paid, in cash or shares, at the time of vesting and are not taken into account when determining an individual’s maximum opportunity with respect to equity awards.

Maximum Opportunity

The maximum award in any financial year may not exceed 150% of the Non-Executive Director’s annual retainer, valued on the grant date. The maximum amount of dividend paid with respect to any award is limited to the dividends paid on the ordinary share over which the awards are granted between the grant date and vesting date.

CONTRACTS AND APPOINTMENT LETTERS

7.1General. In accordance with Luxfer’s long-standing policy, Executive Directors are party to an employment contract, while Non-Executive Directors are subject to appointment letters, which detail the basis of their appointment and service. Employment contracts and appointment letters are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office.

7.2Executive Director. It is generally the Company’s policy that an Executive Director’s employment contract shall not include a fixed term. Notice periods are set by the Board, having regard to the Company’s need to attract and retain talent, ensure an orderly succession, and enable the Company to manage personnel while avoiding excessive costs. Generally, employment contracts may be terminated by either party, upon twelve (12) months’ notice or another notice period set forth therein, and contain change in control provisions. At the Committee’s discretion, employment contracts may provide for pay in lieu of notice in the event of early termination. Such payment in lieu of notice may include base salary, perquisites and benefits, retirement benefits, vesting of equity awards, or payment of the annual cash incentive. The Company may summarily dismiss and terminate, without notice, an Executive Director’s employment contract upon the occurrence of certain events identified therein. Such termination would typically occur if an Executive Director’s conduct justifies dismissal, such as gross misconduct. In this event, the Company will pay the Executive Director all earned and unpaid base salary and benefits through the termination date, after which Luxfer will have no further obligation to the Executive Director under the employment contract, unless specified by further written agreement. Executive Directors have the same employment rights as any other employee in the case of redundancy or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that their termination was unlawful under applicable law.

The below table summarizes various terms of the current Executive Director’s employment contract.

Employment contracts for new Executive Directors, including internal promotions, will generally be made on the same or substantially similar terms as those offered to the current Executive Director, provided the Committee determines that such terms are consistent with market practice and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

7.3Non-Executive Directors. It is generally the Company’s policy that Non-Executive Director appointment letters shall not include a fixed term. However, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines contain term limits and provisions regarding retirement age. Moreover, all Directors are subject to regular election or re-election at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the “Retirement by Rotation” provisions set forth in the Company’s Articles of Association. Non-Executive Directors, including the Chair, do not have any employment rights with the Company.

POLICY REGARDING PAYMENT FOR LOSS OF OFFICE

8.1General Policy. Luxfer’s policy on payment for loss of office (i) provides a clear set of principles that govern payments that will be made for loss of office; and (ii) takes into account the individual circumstances relating to such loss of office, including the reason for termination, individual performance, and contractual obligations. Any termination payment made in connection with the departure of an Executive Director will be subject to the Committee’s approval, having regard to the terms of any applicable employment contract, other legal obligations, and circumstances surrounding the termination. At minimum, all contractual entitlements through the termination date will be honored, and the Company will pay any amounts it is required to pay in accordance with the Director’s statutory employment or contractual rights. In addition to the remuneration described below, the Committee may pay such amounts as are necessary to settle or compromise any claim or by way of damages, where the Committee views it as being in the Company’s best interest, including, without limitation, payment of or reimbursement of reasonable legal and professional fees incidentally incurred by the Director. In all cases, the Company will seek to apply the principles of mitigation to ensure that it is not paying more than is required.

8.2   Executive Director. Generally, Luxfer employment arrangements with Executive Directors include a notice provision and continuing payment obligations in accordance with the terms of the Executive Director’s employment contract in the event of termination without cause or in connection with a change in control. Payment obligations, if any, typically include base salary, all or some portion of the annual cash incentive, and the vesting of equity awards. Luxfer may offer payment in lieu of notice if it is considered to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Company’s general policies with respect to remuneration entitlement in the event of loss of office are set forth below. Notwithstanding this summary of Luxfer’s general practices, any terms contained in an Executive Director’s employment contract shall govern and control.

Such discretion is typically used in circumstances where Directors are retiring before the last vesting date or leaving the Company due to ill health or redundancy.

8.3Non-Executive Directors. Luxfer’s policy with respect to remuneration entitlement upon a Non-Executive Director’s loss of office is consistent with those terms set forth in section 7.3 of this Policy, as communicated in a Non-Executive Director’s appointment letter. Given the fixed nature of Non-Executive Director remuneration, Non-Executive Directors are entitled to receive any earned but unpaid retainer fees. Pursuant to the terms of the EIP, a Non-Executive Director must be actively serving as a Director on the vesting date in order to be entitled to unvested equity awards. However, the Committee retains the discretion to accelerate vesting and exercise dates or otherwise waive conditions to vesting, exercise, or transferability as it deems appropriate given the circumstances.

9.0

CONSIDERATION OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CONDITIONS

9.1Multi-Faceted Approach. The Committee commissions benchmarking studies related to the remuneration practices of comparable companies and gives consideration to the conditions of the Company’s broader workforce when making remuneration-related decisions for the Directors. Consideration is given to various factors, such as general inflationary and cost-of-living increases. Luxfer utilizes a clear structure of pay and benefits per layer of its workforce. The Committee does not consult employees, nor does it use internal comparison metrics when preparing the Directors’ Remuneration Policy. However, the Committee is aware of average pay and benefit packages available within the Company. The Committee also considers shareholder feedback and views expressed by institutional shareholder bodies, rating agencies, and interested parties, so far as it relates to remuneration, when reviewing the appropriateness of this Policy. In addition, the Committee considers potential conflicts of interest to ensure that Directors do not have sole discretion over their own remuneration.

Unless the Plan shall have been earlier terminated by the Board, Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time in the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on June 8, 2032 June 6, 2034. Awards granted pursuant to the Plan within that period shall not expire solely by reason of the termination of the Plan.

(b)Stock Subject to the Plan

The maximum number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan on or after June 8, 2022, in the aggregate, shall be 150,000 450,000. The maximum referred to in the preceding sentence of this paragraph shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10. The Board may, subject to any applicable law and approval by the shareholders of Luxfer to the extent required by law or listing conditions of the New York Stock Exchange, from time to time increase the maximum number of Shares that may be available for Awards under the Plan. The Company may satisfy its obligation to deliver Shares under the Plan in any manner permitted by law, including without limitation, by issuing new Shares that are authorized for issuance, using treasury shares or causing any trust to deliver Shares.

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, if any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, if any Award or any portion of an Award lapses or expires or if any Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part) in accordance with its terms, the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, lapse, expiration or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan.

Shares covered by Awards granted pursuant to the Plan in connection with the assumption, replacement, conversion or adjustment of outstanding equity-based awards in the context of a corporate acquisition or merger (within the meaning of Section 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual) shall not count as used under the Plan for purposes of this Section 3(b).

For the sake of clarity, no Shares that remained available under the Plan for issuance prior to June 8, 2022 will be issued on or after June 8, 2022, and no Shares underlying Awards granted prior to June 8, 2022 will be or become available for grants of Awards under the Plan on or after June 8, 2022.

The Committee may enforce any restrictions that the Committee may impose on Restricted Stock in such manner as the Committee shall determine, including legends, custody accounts or any other restrictions on Transfer.

(c) Dividends

(c) Certain Other Transactions

(ii) provide for the exchange of each Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested) for an award with respect to, as appropriate, some or all of the property which a holder of the number of Shares subject to such Award would have received in such transaction and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion in the Exercise Price of the Award, or the number of Shares or amount of property subject to the Award or, if appropriate, provide for a cash payment to the Participant to whom such Award was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Award.
