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

 

As described in Item 5.07 below, at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders of Leslie’s, Inc. (the “Company”) held on March 15, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), shareholders approved the Leslie’s, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") had previously approved the Plan on January 12, 2024, subject to shareholder approval. The Plan became effective following shareholder approval on March 15, 2024 and replaces the original 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”). The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 14,903,552 shares, less one share for every one share subject to an award granted under the Original Plan after September 30, 2023 and prior to March 15, 2024.

A description of the Plan was set forth in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 24, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”), under the heading “Proposal No. 4 Approval of the Leslie’s, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan” and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary and the summary set forth in the Proxy Statement do not purport to be a complete description of the Plan and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On March 15, 2024, the Company held the 2024 Annual Meeting. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, shareholders: (i) approved the election of three Class III directors, each to serve for a three-year term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of shareholders (the "2027 Annual Meeting") and until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal (subject to Mr Estep's reclassification as a Class II director following the 2024 Annual Meeting, as described below); (ii) ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 28, 2024; (iii) approved on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers; and (iv) approved the Leslie's, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Set forth below are the votes cast for, against, or withheld, as well as the number of abstentions and broker non-votes, as to each item of business at the 2024 Annual Meeting, as applicable:

In order to make the number of directors in each of Classes I, II and III of the Board as equal as possible, Mr. Estep ceased to be a Class III director effective immediately upon the completion of the 2024 Annual Meeting, and his seat was reassigned to Class II of the Board. Although Mr. Estep stood for re-election as a Class III director at the 2024 Annual Meeting, as a result of this change, he will again stand for election as a Class II director at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, rather than at the 2027 Annual Meeting.
