PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Luxembourg law and our articles of association (“Articles”) permit our shareholders to fix the size of the Board. At the date of this Proxy Statement, our Board is comprised of nine directors, seven of whom are non-employee directors and five of whom are independent.
The Board is committed to recruiting and nominating directors for election who will collectively provide the Board with the necessary diversity of experiences, skills and characteristics to enhance the Board’s ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Company and to make fully informed, comprehensive decisions. In recommending candidates for election to the Board, in the context of the perceived needs of the Board at that time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates a candidate’s knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and diversity, and any other factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems relevant. In particular, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe that the Board should be comprised of a well-balanced group of individuals.
In 2024, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee unanimously recommended to the Board, and the Board unanimously approved the nomination of W. Nicholas Howley, William N. Thorndike, Jr., Edward Goldberg, Tracy Britt Cool, Sean Hennessy, Robert S. Henderson, Bernt Iversen II and Jorge Valladares III to the Board, each to hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified. Each nominee has consented to serve if elected. Messrs. Khouri and Raj were elected to serve as directors of the Company in June 2021 with terms expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until their respective successors are elected and qualified; therefore, Messrs. Khouri and Raj are not nominated for election at the Annual Meeting.
Shareholder Vote Requirement
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for a director nominee to be elected. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” for each director nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote.
Recommendation of the Board
Our Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” each of the eight nominees recommended by the Board.
Director Nominees
The following persons are our Board’s nominees for election to serve as directors. There are no family relationships between any of the director nominees. Certain information relating to our Board’s nominees, furnished by each of them, is set forth below. The ages set forth below are accurate as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
Our Board has determined that all of its nominees are qualified to serve as directors of the Company. In addition to the specified business experience listed below, each of the directors has the background, skills and attributes which the Board believes are required to be an effective director of the Company, including experience at senior levels in areas of expertise helpful to the Company, a willingness and commitment to assume the responsibilities required of a director of the Company and the character and integrity the Board expects of its directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board is responsible for overseeing the management of our Company. Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Governance Guidelines”), which set forth our governance principles and policies relating to, among other things:
director independence;
director qualifications and responsibilities;
board structure and meetings;
management succession; and
the performance evaluation of our Board.
Our Governance Guidelines are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.perimeter-solutions.com.
Meetings
During 2023, the Board held five meetings and adopted various resolutions by means of unanimous written consent. Except for Mr. Thorndike, each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board during the period for which he or she was a director and (ii) the total number of meetings of all Committees on which he or she served during the period for which he or she was a director. It is a policy of the Board to encourage its members to attend the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is held in Luxembourg. Mr. Khouri attended the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board has not adopted a formal policy regarding the need to separate or combine the offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and instead the Board remains free to make this determination from time to time in a manner that seems most appropriate for the Company. Although the Board recognizes the benefits of having a combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, currently, we separate the positions of our Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairmen of the Board in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Co-Chairmen of the Board provide strategic guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and set the agenda for and preside over the Board meetings. In addition, we believe that the current separation provides a more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance. The separation also allows the Co-Chairmen of the Board to strengthen the Board’s independent oversight of our performance and governance standards.
Director Independence
Our Board reviews the independence of the current and potential members of the Board in accordance with independence requirements set forth in the NYSE rules and applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). During its review, the Board considers transactions and relationships between each director and potential director, as well as any member of his or her immediate family, and the Company and its affiliates, including those related-party transactions contemplated by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. The Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with the Company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company, that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such relationships or transactions exist that are inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. Our Board has determined that all nominees except Messrs. Goldberg, Howley, Khouri and Thorndike are “independent” as such term is defined by NYSE rules, our corporate governance standards and the federal securities laws.
8


Board Committees
Our Board has four standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Executive Committee. Copies of the committee charters of each of the committees setting forth the responsibilities of the committees are available on our website at www.perimeter-solutions.com. Information contained in, or accessible through, our website is not a part of, and is not incorporated into, this proxy statement. The committees will periodically review their respective charters and recommend any needed revisions to our Board. Assuming election of all of the director nominees, the following is a list of persons who will constitute the Board following the Annual Meeting, including their current committee assignments.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Number of Meetings in 2023: Four
Responsibilities. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a formal charter that governs the responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

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

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

Insider Trading and Anti-Hedging Policy

We have adopted a written Insider Trading Policy (“Insider Trading Policy”) that prohibits all directors, officers and employees from engaging in transactions in our Ordinary Shares while they are aware of material non-public information and restricts directors, officers and other “designated employees” from engaging in most transactions involving our Ordinary Shares during periods which those individuals are most likely to be aware of material, non-public information. Our Insider Trading Policy also prohibits any officer or director from entering into any transaction which has the effect of hedging or locking in the value of his or her stock holdings. Additionally, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits any officer, director or employee from, directly or indirectly, engaging in “short sales” of our Ordinary Shares or transactions involving trading activities which by their aggressive or speculative nature may give rise to an appearance of impropriety, including the purchase or writing of put or call options.

Commitment to Sustainability
We are a leading global solutions provider, producing high-quality firefighting products and lubricant additives. At Perimeter, we characterize the solutions we develop as “Solutions That Save” — because it helps underscore what we are trying to accomplish for our customers, and the world at large, across all of our business segments. We believe that the effective integration and management of environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) issues support sustainable long-term growth. By embedding sustainability practices into our operations and investment decisions, we create value for our business by driving innovation, expanding our value proposition, deepening relationships with our stakeholders, attracting and retaining top talent, and reducing our capital costs through ESG-related financing.
ESG Oversight
In spring of 2022, we completed our first assessment of ESG priorities, which included examining a range of key stakeholders, including investors, clients, employees, and ESG rating organizations and by studying industry peers. Our analysis of ESG topics included alignment to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”). We also drew upon subject matter expertise to collect and organize content.
In January 2023, Perimeter released its inaugural ESG Report, which detailed our progress against the SASB framework. After the release of our Report, Perimeter continued to build upon and improve our oversight framework throughout 2023. This spring, we completed our second assessment of sustainability priorities. Our analysis of sustainability topics included the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”), the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”), as well as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) Standard.
In January 2024, we released our second ESG Report, which covers a range of topics including Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. The highlights from our 2023 ESG Report include a description of our progress in:
Enhancing our cybersecurity and data protection program through investments in monitoring capabilities, threat prevention and training.
Fostering a global inclusive workforce through enhancing work-life balance resources to support employee needs and ongoing company-wide diversity initiatives.
Supporting community engagement and volunteerism through ongoing philanthropic endeavors.
Developing governance through best practices and policies meant to reflect Perimeter Solutions’ ongoing commitment to sustainable operations.
Creating a corporate culture where health & safety are cornerstones.
ESG Strategy
We strive to be transparent by communicating through our ESG reporting how we understand, prioritize, and approach the topics most relevant to our business. Against this backdrop, we have, with the assistance of outside expertise, engaged with our internal and external stakeholders on sustainability topics to help further inform our future direction and determine our ESG strategic priorities. The three tenets of our sustainability strategy are: (1) Environmental Stewardship; (2) Social Impact; and (3) Governance.
Environmental Stewardship
The Company’s focus on environmental stewardship is integral to the work it does every day. Wildfire control products developed by the Company save tens of thousands of hectares of forest every year, helping these forests to continue to sequester carbon and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released to the atmosphere. Our fire safety products also require dramatically less water to be effective, reducing the amount of water customers use while protecting a valuable natural resource. Internally, we have taken steps to increase recycling, made capital investments to reduce the amount of energy used in its manufacturing processes, and increased the use of e-records to reduce the Company’s carbon footprint.
13


Perimeter abides by all applicable legal and regulatory requirements to control and reduce its environmental footprint. Perimeter’s management team plays a crucial role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities. As we work to reduce our own emissions, we are also realizing sustainability opportunities in our supply chain. Through a proactive approach to supplier onboarding, combined with ongoing assessments of potential supply chain risks, we actively manage our supply chain, and have the ability to audit our supply chain partners for compliance with our requirements, including with respect to achievement of sustainability objectives.
Social Responsibility
We are also fully committed to providing equal employment opportunities. All recruiting, payment, performance and promotion decisions are based on merit, without discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, age, family status, ethnic origin, nationality, disability, or religious belief. Women represent approximately 20% of Perimeter Solutions’ total workforce. Members with diverse background comprise 33% of the Company’s Board.
We believe that investing in communities where we do business nationally and locally to create social and economic outcomes is at the heart of generating social impact. At the community level, Perimeter Solutions devoted approximately 500,000 hours of dedicated service to forest fire remediation. We are focused on contributing to the creation of a better world through its strategic nonprofit partnerships, volunteerism, and philanthropy.
Governance
We emphasize a culture of accountability and conduct our business in a manner that is fair, ethical and responsible to earn the trust of our stakeholders. The Company has corporate governance policies and structures in place to support its culture of accountability and transparency. We continue to focus on diversity and independence at the Board level and its current Board includes a majority of independent directors. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, together with our comprehensive corporate governance principles and structures, foster accountability and transparency across Perimeter.
Our Board is responsible for oversight of our risk management processes and regularly discusses with management our major risk exposures and strategies. We implement robust risk management programs to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing ethical business practices, including our relationships with suppliers, customers and business partners and our industry. Our IT team works 24/7 and uses a combination of industry-leading tools and innovative technologies to help protect our stakeholder’s data. Our team members are responsible for complying with our data security standards and complete mandatory annual training to understand the behaviors and technical requirements necessary to keep data secure.
ESG Engagement
We routinely engage with our stakeholders to better understand their views on sustainability matters, carefully considering the feedback we receive and acting when appropriate. For more information on our sustainability program, policies, or to view our 2023 Report, please visit: https://www.perimeter-solutions.com/en/2024/02/16/perimeter-solutions-releases-2023-environmental-social-and-governance-report/.
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
During 2023, we did not enter into any related party transactions other than as set forth below.
Founder Advisory Agreement
On November 9, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the business combination agreement, dated June 15, 2021, by and among the Company, EverArc Holdings Limited (“EverArc”), EverArc (BVI) Merger Sub Limited, and SK Invictus Holdings S.à r.l. (the “Business Combination”), the Company, EverArc and the EverArc Founders, LLC (“EverArc Founder Entity”) entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Founder Assignment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company assumed, and agreed to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, all of EverArc’s liabilities and obligations under the previously disclosed advisory services agreement dated December 12, 2019 (the “Founder Advisory Agreement”) between the EverArc Founder Entity and EverArc. Pursuant to the Founder Advisory Agreement and Founder Assignment Agreement, the EverArc Founder Entity provides services to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice. The EverArc Founder Entity is owned and operated by William N. Thorndike, Jr., W. Nicholas Howley, Haitham Khouri, Tracy Britt Cool and Vivek Raj (the “Founders”). Each of the Founders serves as a director of the Company and Haitham Khouri also serves as an executive officer of the Company.
14


In exchange for the services provided under the Founder Advisory Agreement, the EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to receive both a variable amount (the “Variable Annual Advisory Amount”) and a fixed amount (the “Fixed Annual Advisory Amount,” each an “Advisory Amount” and collectively, the “Advisory Amounts”), each as described below:
Variable Annual Advisory Amount. Effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination through December 31, 2031, and once the Average Price (as defined in the Founder Advisory Agreement) per ordinary share of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") is at least $10.00 for ten consecutive trading days, the Variable Annual Advisory Amount will be equal in value to:
in the first year in which the Variable Annual Advisory Amount is payable, (x) 18% of the increase in the market value of one Ordinary Share of the Company over $10.00 (such increase in market value, the “Payment Price”) multiplied by (y) 157,137,410 Ordinary Shares, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number; and
in the following years in which the Variable Annual Advisory Amount may be payable (if at all), (x) 18% of the increase in Payment Price over the previous year Payment Price multiplied by (y) 157,137,410 Ordinary Shares, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number.
Fixed Annual Advisory Amount. Effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination through December 31, 2027, the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount will be equal to 2,357,061 Ordinary Shares (1.5% of the 157,137,410 Ordinary Shares, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number).
For 2023, the EverArc Founder Entity did not receive a variable annual advisory fee (the "2023 Variable Amount") as there was not an increase in the Payment Price over the previous year. The EverArc Founder Entity received the fixed annual advisory amount which, for 2023, was equal to 1.5% of the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number: 2,357,061 Ordinary Shares or a value of approximately $10.6 million (based on the Average Price for 2023) (the “2023 Fixed Amount” and together with the 2023 Variable Amount, the “2023 Advisory Amounts”). William N. Thorndike, Jr., W. Nicholas Howley, Haitham Khouri, Vivek Raj and Tracy Britt Cool hold ownership interests of 33%, 33%, 25%, 7% and 2%, respectively, in the EverArc Founder Entity.
The Founder Advisory Agreement can be terminated at any time (i) by the EverArc Founder Entity if the Company ceases to be traded on the NYSE; or (ii) by the EverArc Founder Entity or the Company if there is (A) a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Founder Advisory Agreement) or (B) a liquidation of the Company.
Subject to certain limited exceptions, the EverArc Founder Entity’s liability for losses in connection with the services provided is excluded and the Company has agreed to indemnify the EverArc Founder Entity and its affiliates in relation to certain liabilities incurred in connection with acts or omissions by or on behalf of the Company or the EverArc Founder Entity. If the Founder Advisory Agreement is terminated under (i) or (ii)(A), the Company will pay the EverArc Founder Entity an amount in cash equal to: (a) the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount for the year in which termination occurs and for each remaining year of the term of the agreement, in each case at the Payment Price; and (b) the Variable Annual Advisory Amount that would have been payable for the year of termination and for each remaining year of the term of the agreement. In each case the Payment Price in the year of termination will be calculated on the basis of the Payment Year ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of termination, save that in the event of a Sale of the Company, the Payment Price will be calculated on the basis of the amount paid by the relevant third party (or cash equivalent if such amount is not paid in cash). For each remaining year of the term of the agreement the Payment Price in each case will increase by 15% each year. No account will be taken of any Payment Price in any year preceding the termination when calculating amounts due on termination. Payment will be immediately due and payable on the date of termination of the Founder Advisory Agreement. On the entry into liquidation of the Company, an Advisory Amount will be payable in respect of a shortened year which will end on the trading day immediately prior to the date of commencement of liquidation. The Founder Advisory Agreement is governed by New York law.
Related Party Leases
The Company paid $0.4 million to lease real property from the sellers of First Response Fire Rescue, LLC, River City Fabrication, LLC, and H&S Transport, LLC (collectively, “Ironman”) during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Board Role in Risk Management
Our Board is responsible for overseeing our risk management process. Our Board performs its risk oversight function primarily through its standing Audit Committee, which reports to the entire Board and is comprised solely of Independent Directors. As described above in more detail under “Board Committees – Audit Committee,” the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee’s risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing the financial reporting process, our system of internal controls and compliance regarding finance and accounting, audits of our financial statements and our policies on risk assessment and risk management. Our Board reviews the annual report from the Audit Committee, discussing the adequacy and effectiveness of our compliance policies and procedures. Our Board also assesses any recommendations from the Audit Committee based upon its annual review of the Audit Charter for changes that may be required to further assist the Audit Committee in performing its risk oversight responsibilities.
Our Board also focuses on our general risk management strategy, the most significant risks facing us, and oversees the implementation of risk mitigation strategies by management. The Executive Committee, which reports to the entire Board, assists the Board by providing oversight relating to our enterprise risks. Our Executive Committee responsibilities include overseeing overall strategy, including top-level organizational structure and products or markets served and capital allocation and capital markets activities.
Communication with the Board
Shareholders and other parties interested in communicating directly with one or more individual directors or with the non-management directors as a group, may do so by writing to the individual director or group, c/o Perimeter Solutions, SA, 12E, rue Guillaume Kroll, L-1882 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (registered office of Perimeter Solutions, SA) or 8000 Maryland Ave. Suite 350, Clayton, Missouri 63105, Attention: Corporate Secretary (offices of Perimeter Solutions, SA). The Board has directed our corporate secretary to forward shareholder communications to our Co-Chairmen of the Board and any other director to whom the communications are directed. In order to facilitate an efficient and reliable means for directors to receive all legitimate communications directed to them regarding our governance or operations, our corporate secretary will use his or her discretion to refrain from forwarding the following: sales literature; defamatory material regarding us and/or our directors; incoherent or inflammatory correspondence, particularly when such correspondence is repetitive and was addressed previously in some manner; and other correspondence unrelated to the Board’s corporate governance and oversight responsibilities.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Our non-employee independent director compensation policy, which was adopted on November 8, 2021, immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, provides for the following compensation for our non-employee independent directors:
Annual Retainer. Each non-employee independent director is paid a cash retainer of $75,000 per year.
Committee Fees. Each Committee chairperson is paid a cash retainer fee per year, as follows: $15,000 to the chairperson of our Audit Committee, $5,000 to the chairperson of our Compensation Committee and $5,000 to the chairperson of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Annual Equity Award. Every year, we will make grants of stock options to each non-employee independent director covering compensation for one fiscal year, granted on the same terms and conditions as those granted to our employees, which vest over five years, subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions. The terms and conditions of these options are discussed in greater detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Equity Compensation.”

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

Messrs. Howley, Thorndike, Jr. and Khouri will not receive compensation for their service as directors in light of their affiliation and control over the entity which provides advisory services to the Company in exchange for a fee, as described under “Corporate Governance—Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Founder Advisory Agreement.” Mr. Goldberg also receives compensation for his services as Vice Chairman of the Company, but such compensation is not for his services as a director and therefore not included in the table below. In addition, Mr. Khouri, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer, is not entitled to receive compensation for his services as a director.
The table below sets forth the non-employee director compensation for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
We are committed to providing a fair and market competitive executive compensation program that will attract, retain and reward high-performing employees. Our compensation package is tied to the Company meeting short-term and long-term financial targets and individuals achieving annual performance goals. Below are the objectives of our program:
20


Focus on Long-Term Performance. We emphasize long-term performance and retention of superior executive talent by limiting short-term cash compensation, such as salary and annual incentive payouts, with a focus on long-term equity awards.
Performance Expectations and Shareholder Alignment. We provide incentives that reward the achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to the enhancement of shareholder value. We establish clear financial goals focused on the overall success of the Company.
Employee Retention. We reinforce our mission to recruit and retain a highly motivated workforce to support the overall growth and performance of the Company.
Overview of 2023 Performance
The 2023 North American fire season was very mild, with U.S. acres burned ex-Alaska at 2.3 million acres, which represented an almost 50% decrease compared to 2022 and almost 60% below the 10-year US average. Despite the mild 2023 fire season primarily driven by idiosyncratic weather events, including record aggregate rainfall and snowpack in some of the most fire prone regions of the United States in the first half of the year, 2023 Fire Safety revenue, EBITDA, and EBITDA margin were all roughly flat versus 2022. We believe the 2023 financial results for Fire Safety outperformed the decline in acres burned principally due to improved unit economics throughout our retardant business, strong performance from our international retardant markets and excellent performance from our suppressants business. As disclosed in our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Fire Safety Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $225.6 million and $76.2 million, respectively. Fire Safety Adjusted EBITDA margins were flat versions 2022—34% in 2023 compared to 34% in 2022.
The Specialty Products segment also experienced a weak demand environment in 2023 due to inventory destocking activity in the specialty chemicals supply chain. The Specialty Products segment 2023 full-year sales decreased by 28% to $96.6 million compared to $133.9 million in 2022. Full-year Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 57% to $20.6 million compared to $48.0 million in 2022. EBITDA margin was 21% compared to 36% for 2022. See Annex A for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to our results reported under GAAP.
During a mild 2023 fire season, our management team stayed committed to focusing on driving long-term equity value creation through consistent improvement of our operational value drivers: profitable new business, continual productivity improvements, and pricing to reflect the value we provide. In addition to making significant progress on the three operational value drivers, our management team sought to maximize equity value creation through allocation of capital, as well as management of our capital structure. We repurchased 6.3 million shares in the fourth quarter, with the average price of $4.21 and repurchased approximately 12.2 million shares in 2023, at the average price of $5.24.
Our management team delivered on a number of key strategic initiatives throughout 2023.
Introduction of Solberg 3% Mil-Spec Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam (SFFF), the first fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrate to be added to the Department of Defense Qualified Products List (QPL).
Fire suppressant sales increased $15.2 million in the Americas, $4.4 million in Europe and $0.7 million in Asia Pacific due to growth in sales of new fluorine free foam concentrates, a strong performance in emergency response business and expansion into new geographies and markets.
Canada experienced a historic fire season in 2023. Our Canadian Fire Safety operations accounted for 14% of the Company’s annual revenues, compared with 5% in 2022.
For more information, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and our audited financial statements included therein.
Compensation Governance Practices
Our executive compensation program is based on the following best practices:
21


What We DoWhat We Don't Do
Equity compensation is based on performance-based options.Our option program is driven by specific performance criteria. We do not issue time-vested options or any other types of time-vested equity awards.
Regular review of compensation, especially incentive compensation to ensure, continued alignment with our strategy. We do not provide any post-employment retirement or pension benefits to our executive officers that are not available to our employees generally.
Compensation Committee consisting entirely of independent directors.We do not provide tax gross-ups for payments or benefits paid in connection with a change in control.
The Compensation Committee directly retains an independent compensation consultant.We do not permit short sales, hedging, or pledging of share ownership positions involving derivatives of our Ordinary Shares.
Robust share ownership and share retention guidelines.We do not permit re-pricing or backdating of equity awards.
Executive Compensation Setting Process
Compensation Committee Review and Discretion
Our Board has:
established on November 1, 2021 a compensation committee in accordance with article 441-6 of the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915 on commercial companies as amended; and
adopted a written Compensation Committee Charter that governs the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation of the Company’s NEOs in accordance with the Company’s executive compensation philosophy. Our Compensation Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors who are informed by the experience of their members and advised by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, other directors, the CEO and other members of our management team.
In its evaluation of the annual performance of the CEO in light of our goals and objectives, the Compensation Committee considers all relevant factors, including our performance and relative shareholder return, execution on our operational value drivers, the value of similar awards to chief executive officers of comparable companies and the awards given to our CEO in past years. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves option grants to executive officers and any other participants under our equity-based compensation plan. The Compensation Committee has full power and authority to administer these plans, establish guidelines, interpret plan documents, select participants, approve grants and awards, and exercise such other power and authority as may be permitted or required under such plans.
The Role of the Chief Executive Officer
The CEO provides compensation recommendations for the NEOs (other than himself) to the Compensation Committee, which considers these recommendations as part of its evaluation. However, the review, analysis, and final approval of compensation actions are made solely by the Compensation Committee. Recommendations for the annual incentive payments are made based on our financial performance for the relevant year, and the CEO’s personal review of each NEOs performance, job responsibilities, execution against our value drivers and our overall business strategy, as well as our compensation philosophy. At the Compensation Committee’s request, for 2023, Mr. Khouri provided an assessment of each NEO’s job performance against the company value drivers, execution on key business strategies and any performance highlights that provided additional value to the Company.
The Role of the Compensation Consultant
During 2023,the Compensation Committee continued to engage F.W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) to serve as the Company’s compensation consultant and to provide independent advice, research, and analytical
22


services on a variety of subjects, including compensation of executive officers and executive compensation trends. FW Cook evaluated executive compensation policies and guidelines and provided analysis of policies and guidelines compared to best practices in the industry. The Compensation Committee has reviewed the independence of FW Cook in light of SEC rules and NYSE Listing Standards regarding compensation consultants and has concluded that FW Cook’s work for the Compensation Committee during 2023 did not raise any conflict of interest and that FW Cook is independent.
Consideration of the Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
We held an advisory vote on executive compensation in the 2023 fiscal year, which received the support of 81% of our shareholders at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Both our Compensation Committee and our Board periodically reevaluate our executive compensation philosophy and practices in light of our performance, needs and development, and will take into account the outcome of future non-binding advisory votes by our shareholders.
Peer Group and Market Benchmarking
We benchmark NEO compensation levels using a peer group of companies. The peer group identified by FW Cook, our compensation consultant, consisted of 16 publicly traded chemical companies:
AgroFresh Solutions, Inc.
(AGFS)
Chase Corporation
(CCF)
Ingevity Corporation
(NGVT)
LSB Industries, Inc. (LXU)
American Vanguard Corporation (AVD)CVR Partners LP (UAN)Innospec Inc. (IOSP)Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc.(RYAM)
Amyris, Inc. (AMRS)Ecovyst, Inc. (ECVT)Intrepid Potash, Inc. (IPI)Trecora Resources (TREC)
Balchem Corporation (BCPC)Hawkins, Inc. (HWKN)Livent Corporation (LTHM)Tredegar Corporation (TG)
The peer group was selected by evaluating size, analogous industries, annual revenues, statistical reliability, and market capitalization as well as those companies that are perceived competitors for talent. Overall, our cash compensation levels are generally below a competitive range of the market median, while the total direct compensation is above market which reflects the risk premium associated with the performance-based options.

Base Salaries
Each of our NEOs receives a base salary which has been established by our Compensation Committee, taking into account each individual’s role, responsibilities, skills, and experience. Base salaries for our NEOs are reviewed annually by our Compensation Committee or Board, as applicable, and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the annual base salaries for each of Messrs. Khouri, Goldberg, Sable, Kropp, Emery, Horn and Ms. Yokozuka were $524,992, $614,349, $330,000, $330,000, $329,992, $266,240 and $320,008, respectively. This represents an increase of approximately 5% for all NEOs except Mr. Khouri, whose salary increase was approximately 9.4% with his promotion to CEO in 2023. Mr. Sable, whose salary increase was approximately 12% in connection with his promotion to CFO in 2023 and Mr. Horn, whose salary increase was approximately 3.8%.
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation
Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, and to promote alignment with shareholders’ interests, we expect that each NEO’s compensation will be based, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee,
24


on both Company and individual performance. For 2023, payouts under our annual cash incentive plan were based on the combination of our EBITDA performance and each executive’s individual performance.
Target Opportunity. For 2023, all of our NEOs were eligible for an annual cash incentive opportunity calculated as a percent of their base salaries, as outlined below, based on the achievement of performance criteria tied to (i) our annual Adjusted EBITDA performance and (ii) the NEOs individual achievement targets that were tied to Company level financial, operational value driver and business strategies.
The Company adjusted its compensation program in 2023 to better align its financial incentives to consolidated or platform level performance. Each NEO’s incentive opportunity was adjusted from 60% annual Adjusted EBITDA performance of the entire Company and 40% NEOs individual achievement targets, to 75% Adjusted EBITDA performance of consolidated or platform level performance and 25% NEOs individual achievement targets. By adjusting the weighting more to Adjusted EBITDA targets, achievement of financial performance was further emphasized, and by attaching financial targets to consolidated or platform level performance, each NEO’s performance became more closely aligned to his or her areas of responsibilities.

After such change, for 2023, Mr. Khouri, Mr. Goldberg, Mr. Sable, Mr. Kropp and Ms. Yokozuka’s Adjusted EBITDA component is tied to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA performance. Mr. Emery’s Adjusted EBITDA component is tied to the EBITDA performance of the Fire Safety Platform and Mr. Horn's Adjusted EBITDA component is tied to the applicable area of his responsibilities within the Fire Safety Platform.

EBITDA Performance
2023 Performance and Payout. For 2023, when considering Adjusted EBITDA targets for the consolidated business or platform, the Compensation Committee considered many factors, including (i) the implementation of our key operational value drivers of (A) profitable new business, (B) productivity, (C) pricing our products to the value they provide, (ii) fluctuations in the severity of the North American fire season, and (iii) any other materially impactful external factors.

For 2023, actual Adjusted EBITDA was 60% of the 2023 target for Adjusted EBITDA Consolidated and 78% of the 2023 target for the Adjusted EBITDA Fire Safety Platform. The Adjusted EBITDA Fire Safety Platform includes certain adjustment factors, including adjustment for costs and expenses allocable to the platform as well as an adjustment factor based on ex-Alaska acres burned, as published by the National Interagency Fire Center. A portion of the budget for the Adjusted EBITDA Fire Safety Platform is adjusted upwards or downwards up to 25% based on the severity of the fire season. Specifically, the Fire Safety Platform Adjusted EBITDA is revised by a linear adjustment of a portion of the budget downwards to 75% between 3 million and 6 million acres ex-Alaska
25


burned, or upwards to 125% between 7 million and 10 million acres ex-Alaska burned. For 2023, a portion of the Adjusted EBITDA Fire Safety Platform budget was adjusted downwards to 75% based on 2.3 million acres burned ex-Alaska. The Adjusted EBITDA Fire Safety Platform is calculated against the budget of five business units: Fire Safety EMEA, Fire Safety APAC, Fire Safety Americas Suppressants, Fire Safety Prevention and Protection and Fire Safety Americas Retardant, and the Adjusted EBITDA Fire Safety Platform achievements is the sum of the achievement of all five business units subject to adjustments as described above.

2023 Equity Compensation
On March 8, 2023 and November 16, 2023, we granted 2,000,000 and 100,000 performance-based nonqualified stock options to Haitham Khouri and Kyle Sable, respectively. Each grant is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2021 Equity Plan and a stock option agreement entered into between the Company and the applicable recipient.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, no portion of the performance-based options granted to our NEOs have vested to date as the achievement of annual operating performance per diluted share ("AOP"), based on EBITDA compounded annual growth rate criteria, was not achieved for 2023, but can still be earned based on performance in future periods.
Performance-Based Non-Qualified Stock Option Program
Overview
The equity component of our management’s compensation emphasizes long-term shareholder value creation through performance-based options. This is a substantial, at-risk component of our management’s compensation that is tied to performance. We believe that performance-based non-qualified stock option grants motivate and incentivize management to focus on long-term performance and align the interests of our management with the interests of shareholders by reinforcing the long-term goal of increasing shareholder value and yielding returns comparable to or higher than well-performing private equity funds and promoting the stability and retention of our high-performing executive team over the long-term. Each of our NEOs are recipients of option awards under our stock option program.
We typically grant options that are eligible to vest over a five-year period to employees in connection with new hires, promotions or as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee (each, a “5-Year Option”). Thereafter, we generally expect plan participants to receive extension awards in connection with assumption of increased responsibilities and execution on the company’s long term business strategy.

In February 2024, the Compensation Committee approved annual extension awards that are eligible to vest based on performance in the fifth year following the awards (each, an “Annual Extension”) and biennial extension awards that are eligible to vest in the fourth and fifth year following such extension awards (each, a “Biennial Extension”). Biennial Extensions were granted to certain recipients who previously received a 5-Year Option covering the performance years of 2022 through 2026 (the options covered by these Biennial extensions will be eligible to vest based on performance goals for 2027 and 2028); and Annual Extensions to certain recipients who previously received a 5-Year Option covering the performance years of 2023 through 2027 (the options covered by these Annual Extensions will be eligible to vest based on performance goals for 2028). In February 2024, we also granted an additional 5-Year Option covering 500,000 performance-based options to Mr. Khouri.

Performance-Based Option Vesting at Specific Targets
Option vesting is subject to specific performance criteria. The 5-Year Options had been eligible to vest over a five-year period in equal annual tranches based on the AOP targets. The AOP targets are based on a minimum and maximum compounded annual growth rate from a baseline AOP. For the initial 5-Year Options granted in connection with our initial public offering in November 2021, we used a baseline AOP of $10 to set the annual AOP targets. For the subsequent 5-Year Options granted to our newly hired or promoted executives in 2022
27


and 2023, we continued to use the same AOP targets to ensure that the initial short- and long-term performance goals for our executive management team were aligned. The Company intends to use the actual or estimated AOP for a recently completed performance year as the baseline AOP to establish the AOP targets for new grants. This was the approach taken in establishing the future performance goals for the Biennial Extensions and Annual Extensions granted in February 2024. Resetting the baseline AOP means that the growth targets will appropriately reflect the then-current goals of the Company and ensures that the performance-based options will be more likely to continue to serve as a meaningful incentive to the participants.
The actual AOP achieved for any given year is calculated in accordance with a formula set forth in the award agreements. For each yearly tranche, the 5-Year Options had required 13.5% compounded annual growth for minimum vesting (resulting in 25% of that tranche vesting) and 23.5% compounded annual growth for maximum vesting (resulting in 100% of that tranche vesting).
However, in May 2023, we amended all our outstanding 5-Year Option agreements to better promote sustained growth and value creation over time, while also accounting for seasonal fluctuations outside the Company’s control, to ensure that its employees remain motivated and incentivized to achieve short- and long-term goals. In furtherance of these objectives, these amendments:
adjusted the minimum and maximum AOP compound annual growth targets from 13.5% and 23.5% to 10% and 20%, respectively;
adjusted and simplified the manner in which the option may vest after each performance year by eliminating the two-year look-back and look-forward provisions for excess AOP, and replacing it with the cumulative vesting provision described below under “Cumulative Vesting”; and
added an alternative vesting provision based on the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares exceeding a certain price threshold for a sustained period commencing in the third fiscal year after grant, as described in more detail below under “Equity Sweep Provision.”
The amendments also made certain clarifying and other changes. The exercise price and the number of the options granted by the original stock option agreements did not change. The Biennial Extensions and the Annual Extensions contained the same substantive terms and conditions as the as-amended option agreements.
For any given performance year, the AOP for such year will be an amount equal to: (1) the difference of (a) the product of (i) EBITDA and (ii) a weighted EBITDA multiple of future acquisitions as determined by the Compensation Committee, less (b) net debt; divided by (2) the number of fully diluted shares, excluding ordinary shares issuable pursuant to the Founder Advisory Agreement (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year. The targets and definitions tied to the AOP calculation may be adjusted, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, for, among other things, any acquisition or disposition of any business by the Company or any dividend or other distribution, merger or share repurchase.
2023 AOP did not meet the 10% minimum growth rate, so no options were earned based on 2023 performance, but may still be earned based on performance in future years.
AOP takes into consideration:
growth in EBITDA,
management of capital structure;
cash generation;
acquisition performance, including the acquisition price paid; and
the impact of option dilution on common shares outstanding.
We use AOP as the performance-based metric because it focuses management on the fundamentals of shareholder value creation.
Cumulative Vesting
We view our performance on a long-term basis and set our targets to achieve long-term compound annual and cumulative growth. The original option agreements provided that if the actual AOP achieved for any given year had exceeded the maximum target, such excess could have been treated as having been achieved in the following
28


two fiscal years and/or the prior two fiscal years (without duplication) if less than the full amount of options would otherwise have vested for such years. However, in May 2023, we amended our option agreements to eliminate this two-year look-back and look-forward provision, replacing it with a cumulative vesting mechanism whereby the unvested portion from each annual tranche is added to the eligible amount of options that may vest based on performance the following year. By allowing the unvested portions to carry forward in this manner, the vesting at the end of each year will be no less than representative of the cumulative AOP performance through such year. This cumulative vesting approach is intended to reward performance over time, while also continuing to provide the employees the opportunity to earn yearly tranches prior to the completion of the full performance period. We believe this will ensure that our employees remain incentivized throughout the full performance period to meet the cumulative performance goals. It also creates a simpler process that is more intuitive for participants to understand than the two-year look-back and look-forward provision.
In addition, if any options remain unvested at the end of the fifth performance year covered by the option agreement, such unvested options may still vest based on the AOP achieved for the sixth and seventh performance years. The minimum and maximum AOP targets for these final two years will continue to reflect the same 10% and 20% cumulative growth, respectively, compared to the then-prior year. Therefore, if there is a seasonal fluctuation outside the Company’s control in the fifth performance year covered by a 5-Year Option or any Biennial Extension or Annual Extension, this provides our employees with a meaningful opportunity to still obtain full vesting of their options by meeting the cumulative growth targets in the following two performance years.
Equity Sweep Provision
The as-amended option agreements also added an equity sweep provision whereby if the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares exceeds an amount equal to (i) two times the exercise price less (b) any dividends per share paid after the applicable grant date, on any 60 trading days within any 12-month period commencing on or after the first day of the third performance year covered by the 5-Year Option and ending on the last day of the fifth performance year covered by the 5-Year Option (the 60th day on which such price threshold is met during such period, the “Trigger Date”), then all options that remain unvested as of the Trigger Date will no longer be subject to the AOP performance-based conditions. If the Trigger Date is prior to the first day of the fifth performance year, then 50% of such unvested options will vest on the last day of the fourth performance year and the remaining 50% will vest on the last day of the fifth performance year. If the Trigger Date is during the fifth performance year, then 100% of the unvested options will vest on the last day of the fifth performance year. In each case, such vesting will remain subject to the participant’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date.
Other Performance Vesting Criteria
Pursuant to the Goldberg Amendment, Mr. Goldberg’s option agreement was amended to adjust the performance terms and conditions of the outstanding 5-Year Options granted thereunder so that 50% of such outstanding options eligible to vest in each of fiscal years 2023 through 2026 will remain subject to the existing performance terms and conditions, and the remaining 50% of such outstanding options eligible to vest in such fiscal years based on the achievement of certain performance goals to be established annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board related to the Mr. Goldberg’s position and duties as Vice Chairman. See “Employment Agreements—Edward Goldberg” for additional details. In February 2024, Mr. Goldberg received a Biennial Extension that provided for the same split of performance criteria.
Employee Benefit Plans
Our NEOs are eligible to participate in employee benefit plans, including medical, life and disability benefits on the same basis as other eligible employees. These benefits include:
health, dental and vision insurance;
vacation, paid holidays and sick days;
group term life insurance, voluntary life insurance and supplemental accident and critical illness insurance; and
short-term and long-term disability insurance.
The employment agreements and related severance payments available to our NEOs are described in more detail under the Sections entitled “Employment Agreements” and “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.
29


401(k) Plan
Our NEOs are eligible to participate in an employee 401(k) plan, which consists of a match and an employer discretionary contribution. The plan allows both pre-tax and ROTH contribution options.
The company match formula under the 401(k) safe harbor plan is 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2%, which is vested when contributed.
The employer discretionary amount for non-safe harbor employer contribution is 3% of eligible compensation, which has an initial 3-year cliff vesting schedule.
Other Compensation-Related Practices and Policies
Prohibition on Hedging, Pledging and Short Sales. No director, officer or employee is permitted to pledge our shares or engage in short sales or other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our shares. We allow for certain portfolio diversification transactions, such as investments in exchange funds. All of the directors and executive officers are in compliance with this policy.
Share Retention Guidelines. The majority of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and other NEOs are required to hold a minimum level of personal investment of $2.2 million (for Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman), $1.5 million (Business Director, North America Retardant & Services), $1.2 million (for President of Fire Safety), $600,000 (Chief Financial Officer), $400,000 (President of Specialty Products), and $450,000 (General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer), respectively, in our shares pursuant to share retention guidelines attached to their respective award agreement. The aggregate value may include the fair market value of shares associated with underlying options over the exercise price, but half of the value must be attributable to our shares held by each officer.
Clawback Policy. In 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a clawback policy for the Company’s executive officers (the “Executive Officer Clawback Policy”) that authorized the Company to recover incentive-based compensation previously paid to its Section 16 officers and any other senior executives as determined by the Compensation Committee. The policy provides that, in the event of an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Board or, if so designated by the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board, is authorized to take action to recoup all or part of any incentive-based compensation received by a Section 16 officer of the Company. For purposes of this policy, incentive-based compensation means any compensation that is granted, earned or vested wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure, which may include stock price, total shareholder return (and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from stock price or total shareholder return, and AOP criteria.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested During 2023
In 2023, none of our NEOs exercised their vested options for shares and therefore, no value was realized to report during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following table shows the estimated benefits payable to each NEO in the event of termination of employment and/or change in control of the Company. The amounts shown assume that a termination of employment or a change in control occurs on December 31, 2023. The amounts do not include payments or benefits provided under insurance or other plans that are generally available to all full-time employees.

(1)Each of our NEOs is entitled to a cash severance amount equal to: (i) 1.25 times his or her annual salary and (ii) 1.0 times his or her target bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs
(2)Insurance benefits is calculated by multiplying by 15.0 the difference of: (a) the Monthly COBRA Continuation Coverage Rate (as defined in the applicable employment agreement) as of the date of termination; less (b) the monthly cost that is being charged to the NEO for such coverage as of the date of termination.
(3)Reflects the Cash Severance and Insurance Benefits actually paid in 2023 in connection with Mr. Kropp’s departure on November 16, 2023.
Possible Acceleration of Vesting Upon a Change of Control
In the event of a change of control, a percentage of the unvested options that remain eligible for vesting with respect to the then-current performance year and each remaining performance year will vest in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the average vesting percentage of the prior two performance years and (ii) the amount that would have vested for each applicable remaining year if such determination had been based on the price per share paid at the closing of such change of control transaction instead of AOP.
Treatment of Options Upon Termination
Option agreements for certain officers, including all of the NEOs, provide that upon any termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability, no portion of the options that remain unvested at the time of such termination may thereafter become vested, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.

If the officer’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, then a portion of the then-remaining options may continue to vest following such termination. The applicable portion that will remain eligible to vest is based on a percentage that is tied to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, with the possible percentage increasing by 20% increments for each such fiscal year (beginning in the year the option is granted). The applicable percentage of the then-remaining options permitted to vest will then be spread ratably over the remaining vesting schedule and will remain subject to the performance-based vesting conditions set forth in the award agreement.
CEO Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Haitham Khouri, and Former CEO, Edward Goldberg.
As of December 31, 2023, our employee population consisted of approximately 228 individuals working at Perimeter and its subsidiaries, of which approximately 128 are located in the United States and approximately 100 are located outside the United States.
There were no changes in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements in 2023 that we reasonably believe would result in a significant change in our pay ratio disclosure. Therefore, we have based our pay ratio calculation for 2023 using compensation for the same median employee identified for 2022, which median employee was identified under the process described in our 2022 pay ratio calculation set forth in our 2023 proxy statement. Under this calculation, the median employee’s annual total compensation was $63,871.

Utilizing the same executive compensation rules, and calculating the compensation provided to each person who served as CEO during 2023 for the duration that each person served as CEO and combining those figures, the total compensation of our CEO was $7,869,572. The resulting ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO under this calculation to the annual total compensation of the median employee was 123 to 1. This ratio represents a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on the methodology described above. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio permit companies to use various methodologies and assumptions, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable with the pay ratio that we have reported.
38


Pay Versus Performance
We are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“CAP”) and certain financial performance of the Company as required by SEC rules. Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for discussion of our compensation philosophy and how the Compensation Committee structures our compensation program to motivate and reward the achievement of performance-based financial and other goals that align with our operational and strategic objectives. The SEC-defined CAP data set forth in the table below does not reflect amounts actually realized by our NEOs, and the Compensation Committee has not used or considered CAP previously in establishing the NEO compensation program. A significant portion of the CAP amounts shown relate to changes in values of unvested awards over the course of the reporting year. The fair value as of December 31, 2023 for the equity awards adjustment shown below was calculated using the Hull-White model as this model considers the future movement in the price of Ordinary Shares and option holders’ behavior with respect to option exercises. The Hull-White model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the sub-optimal exercise factor, drift rate, the blended volatility based on the Company’s short trading history of its Ordinary Shares and on the trading history of the common stock of a set of comparable publicly listed companies, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. These unvested awards remain subject to significant risk from forfeiture conditions and possible future declines in value based on changes in the price of our Ordinary Shares. The ultimate values actually realized by our NEOs from unvested equity awards, if any, will not be determined until the awards fully vest.

Company Selected Measure
We have presented Adjusted EBITDA as the Company-selected measure in the table above in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. While the Company uses financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure used by the Company to link CAP for the Company’s NEOs to Company performance for the most recently completed year that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the pay versus performance table above.
41


Financial Performance Measures
As described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” a significant portion of the NEO pay is performance-based and at-risk, consistent with the compensation philosophy established by the Compensation Committee. Our NEO compensation program rewards the achievement of specific short-term (annual) and long-term financial and other goals, which are aligned with our operational and strategic goals. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link CAP for the Company’s NEOs to the Company’s performance for the most recently completed year is Adjusted EBITDA.
Analysis of Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table
The Company is providing the following graphs regarding the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table, including CAP, as required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The Compensation Committee utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, and only some of those Company measures are presented in the pay versus performance table above and the graphs below. The Compensation Committee has not used or considered CAP previously as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K to set target compensation amounts or align our NEO compensation to Company performance. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for a discussion of how the Compensation designs our compensation program and sets target compensation amounts.
CAP and Cumulative TSR
The CAP for Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Khouri and the average CAP for the Company’s other NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Goldberg or Mr. Khouri, as applicable) for 2021, 2022 and 2023 is presented in comparison to the Company’s cumulative TSR over such periods in the table below.

All of the fixed and variable founder advisory amounts vested on November 9, 2021, the date of the business combination, because the Company believes that, as a result of the consummation of the business combination, it has incurred an obligation equal to the present value of the fixed and variable founder advisory amounts. Share-based compensation expense related to the fixed and variable founder advisory amounts of $653.0 million recognized by the Company resulted in a net loss of $661.5 million as of December 31, 2021.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (known as the Dodd-Frank Act) requires us to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs.
We provide our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the narrative disclosures that accompany those tables. At the Annual Meeting, we are asking our shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the 2024 compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.
We encourage shareholders to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure on pages 20 to 30. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we believe that our compensation policies and decisions are designed to incentivize and reward the creation of shareholder value.
We believe that our executive compensation program provides a fair and market competitive executive compensation that will attract, retain and reward high-performing employees and will incentivize our executives to meet short-term and long-term financial targets of the company and achieve individual performance goals.
Shareholder Vote Requirement
This proposal will be approved by a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” this proposal and will have no effect on the vote.
Proposal
On the basis of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure on pages 20 to 30 of this Proxy Statement, we are requesting that our shareholders vote on the following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure, set forth in the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period through March 18, 2024, there were no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, relating to (1) accounting for performance-based stock, (2) accounting and related disclosures related to business combinations and goodwill impairment assessment, specifically related to the determination of carrying value and review of valuation assumptions and (3) the business combination and its effects on the presentation of the statement of cash flows, equity issuance costs, and transaction costs and the judgments made in the determination of purchase consideration, all of which were reported in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and all of which were remediated as of December 31, 2023.
These reportable events were discussed among the Audit Committee and BDO. BDO has been authorized by the Company to respond fully to the inquiries of KPMG LLP, the successor independent registered public accounting firm, concerning these reportable events.
BDO provided to the Company a letter stating that it agrees with the above statements, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is a committee of the Board comprised solely of financially literate independent directors as required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to (i) the integrity of our financial statements and financial reporting process and systems of internal controls; (ii) the qualifications, independence, and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm; (iii) the performance of our internal audit function; and (iv) other matters as set forth in the charter of the Audit Committee approved by the Board.

Management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and the financial reporting process, including its system of internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes as more specifically set forth in its charter.

In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB. In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the SEC.

The Annual Accounts are prepared in accordance with Luxembourg GAAP, are expressed in USD, give a true and fair view of the Company’s business and consist of a balance sheet, a profit and loss account and the accompanying notes, for the unconsolidated Perimeter Solutions, SA entity.

PROPOSAL 6 — ALLOCATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS FOR THE 2023 FINANCIAL YEAR
Each year, the shareholders of the Company are required by Luxembourg law to approve the allocation of the results of the unconsolidated Perimeter Solutions, SA entity, as determined by the Annual Accounts.
Article 461-1 of the Law requires that at least 5% of the profits, if any, shown by the Annual Accounts be allocated to a legal reserve; provided however that an allocation ceases to be compulsory when the legal reserve reaches 10% of the share capital of the Company, but again becomes compulsory when the reserve amount falls below this threshold.
As of December 31, 2023, the Annual Accounts reflect a loss for the year then ended. As noted in Proposal No. 5, profits earned by subsidiaries of Perimeter Solutions, SA are not included in the calculation of profits for the Annual Accounts unless such profits have been distributed to the Company.
The Board proposes to allocate the loss reflected in the Annual Accounts to be carried forward.
Shareholder Vote Requirement
This proposal will be approved by a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” this proposal and will have no effect on the vote.

PROPOSAL 7 — DISCHARGE OF LIABILITY TO CURRENT DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE EXERCISE OF THEIR MANDATES AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY IN RELATION TO THE 2023 FINANCIAL YEAR
In accordance with Article 461-7 of the Law, upon approval of the Annual Accounts and Consolidated Financial Statements, the shareholders must vote as to whether to discharge those who were members of the Board during the 2023 financial year from any liability in connection with their mandates for such period.
If the shareholders grant the discharge for the relevant period, shareholders will not be able to initiate a liability claim against such directors in connection with the performance of their mandates for such period. However, such discharge will be valid only if the Annual Accounts and the Consolidated Financial Statements contain no omission or false information concealing the true situation of the Company, and with regard to any acts carried out which fall outside the scope of the Articles, only if they have been specifically indicated in the convening notice for the Annual Meeting. For the 2023 financial year, the Company believes no such instances that would invalidate the discharge have occurred.
Shareholder Vote Requirement
This proposal will be approved by a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” this proposal and will have no effect on the vote.
Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the granting of full discharge of liability to the current directors of the Company for the exercise of their mandates as directors of the Company in relation to the 2023 financial year.


55


PROPOSAL 8 — APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN OF THE NON-EMPLOYEE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY FOR 2023
The compensation of certain of the Company’s non-employee independent directors is approved annually at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders. Messrs. Howley, Thorndike, Jr. and Khouri will not receive any additional compensation for their service as directors in light of their affiliation and control over the entity which provides advisory services to the Company in exchange for a fee. In addition, neither Mr. Goldberg, who served as our Chief Executive Officer from November 2021 until March 2023, nor Mr. Khouri, who served as our Chief Executive Officer from March 2023, are entitled to receive any additional compensation for their services as a director.
It is proposed that the compensation described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Director Compensation” be approved by the shareholders to be paid to certain of the Company’s non-employee independent directors for their service in 2023.

56


PROPOSAL 9 — APPROVAL OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The Board has approved a proposal to submit to the shareholders of the Company a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) whereby the Board is empowered to purchase outstanding Ordinary Shares within certain limits. The Share Repurchase Program shall be subject to Luxembourg law and provide for equal treatment for shareholders. The term of authorization to the Board will be five (5) years. The maximum number of Ordinary Shares authorized to be repurchased will be up to twenty-five percent (25%) of Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of shareholder approval. Ordinary Shares are eligible for purchase at a minimum price of one dollar ($1.00) per share and a maximum price of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per share. The purchase volumes will be subject to daily volume restrictions per SEC regulations. In accordance with the Articles, the Board is empowered to give authority to a repurchase committee, consisting of Messrs. Howley, Khouri and Thorndike, Jr., to decide within the limits of the authorization set out above, the timing and conditions of the Share Repurchase Program.
In lieu of accumulating cash, which provides a low rate of return to shareholders, or paying dividends, which are often subject to double taxation, the Board believes the Share Repurchase Program will be an effective use of the Company’s cash earnings to generate shareholder value.
Shareholder Vote Requirement
This proposal will be approved by a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” this proposal and will have no effect on the vote.
Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the approval and ratification of the Share Repurchase Program.

What constitutes a quorum at the Annual Meeting?
One half of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum, which is the minimum number of shares that must be present or represented by proxy at the meeting to transact business. All the Ordinary Shares present or represented will be counted as present to determine whether a quorum has been established.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to approve Proposals 1 through 9. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting for each of these proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposals.
What is the effect of the advisory vote on Proposal 2?
Proposal 2 is an advisory vote which means that while we ask shareholders to approve the resolution regarding Say on Pay, this is not an action that requires shareholder approval. If a majority of votes are cast “FOR” the Say on Pay proposal, we will consider the proposal to be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” this proposal. Although the vote on Proposal 2 is non-binding, our Board and the Compensation Committee will review the result of the vote and take it into account in making determinations concerning executive compensation.
What is a broker non-vote?
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
What happens if I hold shares in street name and do not submit voting instructions?
Under applicable rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers ordinarily have the discretion to vote on “routine” matters (e.g., approval of the selection of independent public accountants) but not on non-routine matters (e.g., election of directors).

How do I obtain admission to the Annual Meeting?
The Annual Meeting is open to all the shareholders of the Company including all record holders of Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date and their duly appointed proxyholders, representatives of the Company and the press and financial community. Beneficial owners of shares held in street name as of the close of business on the Record Date must obtain a legal proxy that will entitle them to vote and attend the Annual Meeting. See “Can I vote in person at the Annual Meeting?” above for instructions on how to obtain a proxy for that purpose.
What do I need to bring to attend the Annual Meeting?
If you are record holder or beneficial owner:
a.You will need a valid picture identification.
b.You will need proof of ownership of Ordinary Shares. A recent brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker is an example of proof of ownership.
c.If you are a registered holder, your Notice or proxy card will be your admission ticket.
d.If your shares are held in street name and you have obtained a legal proxy giving you the right to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need the proxy to be admitted to the Annual Meeting.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE VALID PICTURE IDENTIFICATION AND PROOF THAT YOU OWN ORDINARY SHARES OR ARE A LEGAL PROXYHOLDER, YOU MAY NOT BE ADMITTED INTO THE ANNUAL MEETING.
May I ask questions at the Annual Meeting?
Yes. As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live question and answer session, during which we intend to answer questions submitted during the meeting that are pertinent to the business of the meeting, as time permits. Rules of Conduct for the Annual Meeting, including the types of questions that the Company does not intend to address will be available on our website at www.perimeter-solutions.com prior to the meeting. Examples of questions that are not pertinent are questions related to general economic, political or other views that are not directly related to the business of the Annual Meeting, questions related to personal grievances and derogatory references to individuals.
If there are pertinent questions that cannot be answered during the Annual Meeting due to time constraints, we will post answers to a representative set of such questions (e.g., consolidating duplicative questions) on our website at www.perimeter-solutions.com. The questions and answers will be made available as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting.

Where can I find voting results of the Annual Meeting?

OTHER MATTERS
Additional Meeting Matters
The Board knows of no additional matters that may come before the meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement; however, if any additional matters should properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy in accordance with their best judgment.
Shareholder Proposals for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
Any proposal intended to be presented for action at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders by any shareholder of the Company must be received by the Secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices not later than December 12, 2024, in order for such proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to its 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to require the Company to include any shareholder proposal which does not meet all the requirements for such inclusion established by Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act.
For other shareholder proposals to be timely (but not considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders), a shareholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary of the Company by February 26, 2025 and comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b). In addition, the proposal and the shareholder must comply with Rule 14a-4 under the Exchange Act. In the event that a shareholder proposal intended to be presented for action at the next annual meeting is not received prior to February 26, 2025, proxies solicited by the Board in connection with the annual meeting will be permitted to use their discretionary voting authority with respect to the proposal, whether or not the proposal is discussed in the proxy statement for the annual meeting.
Any shareholder proposal must also meet all other requirements contained in our Articles.
Householding of Annual Meeting Materials
Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of this Notice of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Proxy Statement and 2023 Annual Report may have been sent to multiple shareholders in your household, unless the Company has received contrary instructions from one or more shareholders. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of each document to you if you write the Company’s Secretary at Perimeter Solutions, SA, 12E, rue Guillaume Kroll, L-1882 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (registered office of Perimeter Solutions, SA) or 8000 Maryland Avenue, Suite 350, Clayton, Missouri 63105 (offices of Perimeter Solutions, SA), or call (314) 396-7343. If you want to receive separate copies of the notice of the annual meeting of shareholders, proxy statement and annual report in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or, if the shares are not held in “street name,” you may contact the Company at the above address and phone number.
Shareholder Communications
Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board, a Board committee or any such other individual director or directors, may do so by sending written communications addressed to the Board, a Board committee or such individual director or directors, c/o Secretary, Perimeter Solutions, SA, 12E, rue Guillaume Kroll, L-1882 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (registered office of Perimeter Solutions, SA) or 8000 Maryland Avenue, Suite 350, Clayton, Missouri 63105 (offices of Perimeter Solutions, SA). The Company’s General Counsel will open all shareholder communication for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents represent correspondence to any member of the Board or any group or committee of directors. Any shareholder communication that is not in the nature of advertising, promotions of product or service, or patently offensive material will be forwarded promptly to the member(s) of the Board to whom the shareholder communication is addressed. In the case of any shareholder communication to the Board or any group or committee of directors, the General Counsel’s office will make sufficient copies of the contents to send to each director who is a member of the group or committee to which the envelope is addressed.

Annex A
Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
Adjusted EBITDA
The computation of Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus income tax expense, net interest and other financing expenses, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted on a consistent basis for certain non-recurring, unusual or non-operational items in a balanced manner. These items include (i) expenses related to the Business Combination, (ii) founder advisory fee expenses, (iii) stock compensation expense, (iv) non-cash impact of purchase accounting on the cost of inventory sold and intangible impairment and (v) unrealized foreign currency loss (gain). To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Perimeter is providing a summary to show the computations of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-U.S.GAAP measure used by the Company's management and by external users of Perimeter’s financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and others, to assess the Company's operating performance as compared to that of other companies, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (in thousands).
