On September 29, 2021, Ronald J. Myers, Executive Vice President – Human Resources, of The Timken Company (the “Company”) notified the Company of his intention to retire by the end of November 2021. Mr. Myers will retire with nearly 40 years of dedicated service to the Company. In connection with his retirement, on October 1, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a modification of the February 6, 2020 award of 5,000 deferred shares to Mr. Myers. Under the modification, instead of requiring Mr. Myers to remain employed by the Company until December 31, 2021 in order to earn the deferred shares, the Committee provided that, as long as Mr. Myers remains employed with the Company until November 30, 2021, then the deferred shares will continue to vest following Mr. Myer’s retirement from the Company as if he remained in continuous employment through December 31, 2021. Mr. Myers’ deferred shares from this grant will remain subject to settlement consistent with the original vesting schedule. The balance of Mr. Myer’s unvested equity holdings will be treated in accordance with the original terms of the respective grants.
