NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 23, 2024
To Our Shareholders:
L.B. Foster Company (the “Company”) will hold its Annual Meeting of Shareholders in a virtual-only format on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 8:30 AM, Eastern Daylight Time (the “Annual Meeting” or the “Meeting”). You will not be able to attend the Meeting in person at a physical location. We believe that hosting a virtual Annual Meeting enables greater shareholder attendance and participation from any location around the world, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our shareholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of the Meeting. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting atwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FSTR2024 you must enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) you previously received. Once admitted to the Meeting, you may vote during the Annual Meeting, submit questions, and view the list of shareholders entitled to vote by following the instructions available on the Meeting website. The Meeting will be held for the purposes of:
| 1. | Election of a board of eight directors for one-year terms; |
| 2. | Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2024; |
| 3. | Advisory approval of the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers in 2023; and |
| 4. | Approval of the L.B. Foster Company 2022 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (as Amended and Restated). |
Shareholders will also be asked to consider and act upon such other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.
Shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Only holders of record of Company common stock at the close of business on March 21, 2024 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules allow companies to furnish proxy materials to their shareholders over the Internet. This process expedites shareholder receipt of proxy materials and lowers the cost of our Annual Meeting. On or about April 12, 2024, we released to our shareholders a Notice containing instructions on how to access our 2024 Proxy Statement and 2023 Annual Report and how to cast your vote. The Notice also includes instructions on how to receive a paper copy of the Annual Meeting materials.
Your vote is important. Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we hope you will vote your shares as soon as possible. Please sign, date, and return your proxy card or voting instruction form or vote by telephone or via the Internet; instructions are included on the Notice, proxy card, and voting instruction form.
