Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 30, 2026, Patrick Industries, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), LCI Industries, a Delaware corporation (“LCI”), Planet First Merger Sub Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), and Planet Second Merger Sub LLC, a newly formed Indiana limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions set forth therein, the merger of First Merger Sub with and into LCI (the “First Merger”), with LCI surviving the First Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Initial Surviving Entity”), and immediately following the First Merger, and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of the Initial Surviving Entity with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) and the Board of Directors of LCI (the “LCI Board”) have each unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers.

Merger Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of LCI’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“LCI Common Stock”) (excluding shares of LCI Common Stock held by LCI, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries immediately prior to the First Effective Time) will be converted into the right to receive 1.2440 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (“Company Common Stock”) (such ratio, as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the “Exchange Ratio”), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares of Company Common Stock, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”) and subject to any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Following the Closing Effective Time, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock prior to the Mergers will own approximately 52% of the Company and the holders of shares of LCI Common Stock prior to the Mergers will own approximately 48% of the Company.

Certain Governance Matters

The Merger Agreement sets forth certain post-closing arrangements, including that the Company will take all actions such that, at the Closing Effective Time, the Company Board will consist of twelve directors, (i) six of whom will be persons designated by the Company from the directors of the Company serving prior to the Closing Effective Time (the “Company Designees”) and (ii) six of whom will be persons designated from the directors of LCI serving prior to the Closing Effective Time (the “LCI Designees”). The Merger Agreement provides that the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause (i) all of the Company Designees and LCI Designees to be appointed, elected and approved as directors of the Company Board effective as of the Closing Effective Time and (ii) all Company Board members prior to the Closing not designated as Company Designees to resign from the Company Board as of the Closing Effective Time.

The Merger Agreement provides that (i) Andy L. Nemeth, current Chief Executive Officer of the Company and member of the Company Board, will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company (provided that he remains Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing Effective Time); (ii) Todd M. Cleveland, current member of the Company Board, will be appointed to serve as the Chair of the Company Board (provided that he remains a director of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing Effective Time); and (iii) John A. Sirpilla, current interim Chief Executive Officer of LCI and a member of the LCI Board, will be appointed to serve as Vice Chair of the Company Board (provided that he remains a director of LCI as of immediately prior to the Closing Effective Time). The Company will identify four additional Company Designees and LCI will identify five additional LCI Designees, in each case prior to the Closing Effective Time.

The Merger Agreement also provides that the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause, as of the Closing Effective Time, the Company Board to have the following standing committees: an Audit Committee; a Nominating and Governance Committee; a Compensation Committee; and a Capital Allocation and Strategy Committee. Each committee will consist of four (4) directors as of the Closing Effective Time comprised of two (2) LCI Designees and two (2) Company Designees (unless a greater number of directors is mutually agreed by the parties), subject to applicable law and applicable stock exchange listing standards (including applicable independence requirements). As of the Closing Effective Time, the Chair of each of the Audit Committee of the Company Board and the Compensation Committee of the Company Board will be a Company Designee and the Chair of each of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Company Board and the Capital Allocation and Strategy Committee of the Company Board will be a LCI Designee.

Prior to the Closing, the Company and LCI will mutually agree upon a new corporate name for the Company, which shall become effective concurrently with the Closing and will be set forth in the Final Charter Amendment. Company Common Stock will continue to remain listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “PATK” following the Closing Effective Time.

Treatment of Equity Awards

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the First Effective Time, each outstanding Lightspeed RSU Award and Lightspeed PSU Award will automatically convert into a restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, on generally the same terms and conditions as applied immediately prior to the First Effective Time and after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio, except that the number of shares underlying each Lightspeed PSU Award will be determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance through the First Effective Time extrapolated through the end of the applicable performance period, and such converted award will vest solely based on continued service. Each outstanding cash-settled deferred stock unit of LCI will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment based on the closing price of a share of LCI Common Stock on the NYSE on the last trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, plus any accrued or credited and unpaid dividend or dividend equivalent amounts, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Planet Equity Awards will generally remain outstanding in accordance with the applicable plan and award agreement terms, except that Planet Performance Shares will be deemed earned at the greater of target and actual performance through the First Effective Time extrapolated through the end of the applicable performance period and will thereafter vest solely based on continued service, and Planet Equity Awards will be eligible to vest upon a Qualifying Termination.
