Letter from our Chair and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholders:

Thank you for your investment in ScanSource. On behalf of ScanSource’s Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the upcoming 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and encourage you to review the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement and vote using the attached proxy card.

I want to take this opportunity to share the Board’s priorities for creating long-term shareholder value and to highlight some important developments at ScanSource this year:

Our Performance in Fiscal 2026: Our strategy is focused on driving profitable revenue growth as we continue to shift our business toward a higher-margin, higher-recurring revenue model, with a focus on free cash flow. For our full year results, we delivered higher net sales, gross profit and earnings, expanded gross profit margins and generated strong free cash flow. Full year net sales increased 6.1% to $3.23 billion, reflecting renewed growth for key technologies in the second half of the year. Gross profit of $437.4 million and adjusted EBITDA* of $151.5 million grew by 7.0% and 4.8%, respectively. Gross profit margin increased 20 basis points year-over-year to 13.6%. For the full year, the percentage of gross profits from recurring revenue increased to 33.7% from 32.8% for the prior year. Non-GAAP net income* of $91.9 million increased 8.0% over last year, and full year free cash flow* of $113.8 million represented 124% of our non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP EPS* of $4.24 increased 18.8% year-over-year, including the benefit of share repurchases totaling $97.9 million. Our balance sheet strength continued. We ended fiscal 2026 with $88.4 million in cash and generated $123.1 million of operating cash flow. Adjusted ROIC* for the year increased to 14.7%.

We are accelerating the future of technology distribution, leading the channel and connecting our partners with innovative solutions. Our multiple sales channels are a key competitive advantage for ScanSource with our suppliers as they seek new routes to market. In May 2026, we launched a Converged Communications business unit that brings together our Specialty Communications and Intelisys CX cloud-based solutions teams. This new business unit is designed to help solution providers sell more cloud recurring revenue and Intelisys partners add hardware to their solutions.

In September 2026, we completed our acquisition of MicroAge, a leading IT solutions integrator, managed services provider and digital transformation partner. Consistent with our strategy, the acquisition adds higher-margin capabilities and expands our reach in strategic growth technologies, including cloud, cybersecurity, data center and AI, while creating new opportunities to support our channel partners as they address increasingly complex customer needs. We expect the acquisition to be accretive to gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP EPS* in the first year following close.

Looking Ahead to Fiscal 2027: We are excited about the growth opportunities ahead for our channel partners and the expanding role for ScanSource as a differentiated leader in a converging technology ecosystem. The convergence of IT, connectivity, and cloud computing is redefining success in technology distribution. We are well positioned to build cutting-edge skills, capabilities, and expertise to excel in a device-connected, cloud-driven world. We believe IT decision makers face increasing complexity given the need for integration and the number of solutions, especially as technologies like AI are part of the solution.

Together with our investments in the business and capabilities added through acquisitions, this approach supports our strategy to serve channel partners across hardware, SaaS, connectivity and cloud services. As we execute our strategic plan, our capital allocation priorities remain to invest in our business, evaluate acquisitions with discipline and continue share repurchases while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

In summary, we have a successful, long-term strategic plan combined with an amazingly strong people culture led by a highly engaged Executive Leadership Team.

Board Composition: Overseeing our business is a Board that is actively engaged in ensuring that management develops and executes our differentiated technology distribution strategy. Our Board consists of a group of highly skilled directors with diverse backgrounds who bring knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to the Company and are committed to driving long-term value for our shareholders.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Peter Browning retired from our Board after more than twelve years of service. We thank Peter for his leadership and many contributions to ScanSource. Charlie Mathis now serves as our Lead Independent Director, bringing extensive financial leadership and acquisition experience, together with a deep understanding of ScanSource’s business.

People and Culture: The Company and the Board believe that our purpose remains clear: to serve as a trusted partner, delivering exceptional value for our channel partners and suppliers. This commitment is brought to life each day through the dedication and expertise of our people, which is our competitive advantage. Guided by our core values and aligning our strategies with evolving customer needs, we help our partners thrive in dynamic technology markets. Our people and culture are at the heart of ScanSource’s success.

In fiscal 2026, we continued to invest in employee engagement, training and development. Employees completed more than 600 unique trainings, and we introduced an artificial intelligence (“AI”) channel through The Hub, our global learning platform, to accelerate responsible AI adoption across the Company. Feedback from our Employee Voices survey in North America and Pulses survey in Brazil continues to help guide enhancements to our programs and processes.

These initiatives foster a more connected and collaborative workforce and help develop the skills and capabilities our people need as we execute our strategy and pursue future growth opportunities.

Corporate Citizenship: Giving back to our communities is a core value at ScanSource. Over the past year, we continued to expand our Impact 360 program, a partnership focused on supporting underserved schools through hands-on volunteerism, relationship-building and needs-based programming. Impact 360 has expanded to more than a dozen schools across ScanSource’s footprint and received a Silver Halo Award for Best Education Initiative from Engage for Good. During 2025, more than 400 ScanSource volunteers contributed more than 2,000 hours to support our communities. Looking ahead, we remain focused on the corporate citizenship priorities that matter most to our business and stakeholders. Leading with our people and guided by our core values, we are committed to advancing sustainable growth and building long-term resilience for ScanSource.

Shareholder Engagement Efforts: Engaging with our shareholders and considering their views as we make decisions is an important part of the Board’s commitment to strong corporate governance. Our engagement efforts focus on building relationships, expanding dialogue to cover strategy and governance topics and collecting shareholder feedback. Over the past year, we reached out to shareholders representing nearly 70% of shares outstanding and held engagement calls with some of our largest shareholders, representing approximately 60% of shares outstanding. This dialogue helps us to better understand shareholders’ views on a variety of relevant issues, including Company strategy and performance, Board composition and refreshment, executive compensation and governance practices. The Board continues to encourage you to share your opinions with us.

We look forward to the year ahead, and, on behalf of the Board, thank you for your continued support.

Best regards,

\n\n\n $\"LOGO\"$ \n

Annual Meeting Information

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of ScanSource, Inc. for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Tuesday, December 8, 2026 at our principal executive offices located at 6 Logue Court, Greenville, South Carolina 29615 and any adjournment or postponement thereof. This Proxy Statement contains information relating to the proposals to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting, the voting process, the Board, the compensation of our named executive officers (“Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”) and certain other information.

The solicitation of proxies is being made by our directors and employees, and the cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. Copies of solicitation materials may be furnished to brokers, custodians, nominees and other fiduciaries for forwarding to beneficial owners of shares of our common stock, and the Company will reimburse the normal handling charges for such forwarding services. Solicitation of proxies may be made by mail, in person, by telephone or by other electronic means, and by our directors, executive officers and other employees, who will receive no additional compensation for their services.

On or about October 26, 2026, we intend to make this Proxy Statement available online and to mail the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

As used in this Proxy Statement, the terms “ScanSource,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to ScanSource, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a combined entity, except where it is clear that the terms mean only ScanSource, Inc. The term “common stock” means shares of our common stock, no par value per share.

PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED

The following proposals are expected to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting:

\n\n\n\n

■

The election of the seven director nominees nominated by the Board to serve as directors until the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

\n\n\n\n

■

The approval, in a non-binding, advisory vote, of the compensation of our NEOs; and

\n\n\n\n

■

The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

VOTE REQUIRED

All shares of our common stock represented by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation, and not revoked before they are exercised, will be voted in the manner specified. If no specification is made, properly executed and returned proxies will be voted (i) “FOR” the election of each of the seven director nominees nominated by the Board; (ii) “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our NEOs; and (iii) “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. Management is not aware of any matters, other than those specified herein, that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, the proxies named on the proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Signed proxies that reflect abstentions or broker non-votes (as described below) will be counted for purposes of determining if a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the shareholders holding a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting; however, if the reconvened meeting is more than 120 days after the date of the original meeting, then we must establish a new record date. At any reconvened meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been properly transacted at the Annual Meeting as originally scheduled.

2026 NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT		1
\n

Vote Required

Brokers that are members of certain securities exchanges and that hold shares of our common stock in “street name” on behalf of beneficial owners have authority to vote on certain “discretionary” items when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. Under applicable securities exchange rules, our proposal to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is considered a discretionary item. However, proposal numbers one and two in this Proxy Statement are considered “non-discretionary” items and brokers cannot vote on these items without instructions, and a “broker non-vote” occurs when brokers do not receive instructions.

Assuming the existence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting:

\n\n\n\n

■

Directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast (meaning that the number of shares voted “for” a nominee must exceed the number of shares voted “against” such nominee) in uncontested elections. If any nominee for director who is an incumbent director receives a greater number of votes “against” their election than votes “for” their election in an uncontested election of directors, our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (as amended from time to time, the “Articles”) and our Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) provide that the director must tender their resignation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for its consideration. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and therefore will have no effect on the election of nominees.

\n\n\n\n

■

Advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast (meaning that the number of shares voted “for” the proposal must exceed the number of shares voted “against” such proposal). Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and therefore will have no effect on the vote for this proposal. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

\n\n\n\n

■

Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast (meaning that the number of shares voted “for” the proposal must exceed the number of shares voted “against” such proposal). Abstentions are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and therefore will have no effect on the vote for this proposal. If your shares are held in street name and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker has discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to this proposal.

INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS

We are furnishing proxy materials to some of our shareholders via the Internet by mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, instead of mailing or e-mailing copies of those materials. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials directs shareholders to a website where they can access our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report, and view instructions on how to vote in person, via the Internet, by telephone or by mail. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and would prefer to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you have previously elected to receive our proxy materials via e-mail, you will continue to receive access to those materials electronically unless you elect otherwise. We encourage you to register to receive all future shareholder communications electronically, instead of in print. This means that access to the Annual Report, this Proxy Statement and other correspondence will be delivered to you via e-mail.

Corporate Governance

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Director Independence

In accordance with the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and the Guidelines, the Board consists of a majority of independent directors. The Board has determined that all members of the Board, other than Michael L. Baur (“Mike Baur” or “Baur”), meet the requirements for being “independent” as that term is defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and regulations (the “SEC rules”) and the Nasdaq listing standards. The Board also determined that Peter C. Browning (“Peter Browning” or “Browning”), who retired from the Board in August 2026, met such independence requirements during the period he served as a director.

The Board maintains an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (see membership information below under “—Committees of the Board”) is independent, including that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

In addition, under the Guidelines, executive officers of the Company are prohibited from serving as a director of another company that concurrently employs a director of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board does not have a set policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chair of the Board (the “Chair”). Mike Baur, who is also the CEO of the Company, serves as Chair of the Board and Charles A. Mathis (“Charles Mathis” or “Mathis”) serves as Lead Independent Director of the Board.

The Board reviews the Company’s Board leadership structure annually. As part of this process, the Board considers the structures used by peer companies, alternative structures and the effectiveness of the Company’s current structure. The Board believes that Mike Baur, with his in-depth knowledge and understanding of ScanSource’s business gained from his more than 30 years of employment with the Company, is uniquely positioned to lead the Board, particularly as it focuses on identifying and managing the key strategic risks facing the Company, while the Lead Independent Director provides independent leadership to the directors and serves as an intermediary between the independent directors and the Chair. The Board believes that the resulting structure sends a message to our employees, customers and shareholders that we believe in having strong, unifying leadership at the highest levels of management. At the same time, the Board believes that having a Lead Independent Director with a well-defined role provides an appropriate level of independent oversight and an effective channel for communications when needed.

The Guidelines set forth the role of the Lead Independent Director, who must satisfy our independence standards. The Lead Independent Director has the following duties and responsibilities, among others:

\n\n\n\n

■

presiding at meetings of the Board in the absence of, or upon the request of, the Chair;

\n\n\n\n

■

presiding over all executive meetings of non-employee and independent directors;

\n\n\n\n

■

serving as a liaison and supplemental channel of communication between the Chair and the independent directors;

\n\n\n\n

■

reviewing Board agendas and recommending matters in collaboration with the Chair and CEO; and

\n\n\n\n

■

if requested by major shareholders, being available for consultation and direct communication.

Board and Committee Meetings in Fiscal 2026

The Board met a total of 11 times during fiscal year ending June 30, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”) and committees of the Board met a total of 15 times collectively during fiscal 2026. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees of the Board on which the director served during fiscal 2026. Directors are expected to attend the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board, as a whole, actively oversees the risk management of the Company. Risks — the specific financial, operational, business and strategic risks that we face, whether internal or external — are identified by the Board and management together, and then each risk is assigned to either the full Board or a Board committee for oversight in accordance with its charter. Certain business and strategic risks, such as those relating to our products, markets and capital investments, are overseen by the entire Board. The full Board oversees the Company’s risk identification, risk

Board of Directors

assessment and risk management practices for strategic enterprise risks facing the Company. In addition, each of the standing committees of the Board oversees risks relevant to its scope of review. The Audit Committee oversees management of market and operational risks that could have a financial impact or impact financial reporting, such as those relating to internal controls or liquidity. The Compensation Committee is responsible for managing the risks relating to our executive compensation plans and policies and, in conjunction with the Board, key executive succession. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee manages the risks associated with governance issues, such as the independence of the Board. Management regularly reports to the Board or the relevant Board committee on actions that we are taking to manage these risks. In addition, the Board committees annually evaluate compliance with their respective charters, ensuring that the committees are exercising proper oversight.

The Board believes that this division of responsibilities is the most effective risk management approach and that the Board leadership structure supports this approach. As CEO, Mike Baur uses his experience and performance at the Company to function as the Company’s overall leader. In addition, the Board believes that Charles Mathis provides leadership and helps guide the Board’s independent oversight of the Company’s risk exposures through his role as Lead Independent Director. Furthermore, as noted above, Board committees comprised solely of independent directors review and evaluate various areas of significant risk to ScanSource, thereby preserving the benefit of independent risk oversight along with full Board review and responsibility.

Information Security and Cybersecurity

Information security and cybersecurity are critical components of our risk management program and are vital to maintaining our proprietary information and the trust of our customers and employees. Our information security program includes policies and procedures, prevention and detection mechanisms, incident response, business continuity planning and employee compliance and security awareness training. We also engage with third-party information security experts to assess our defense mechanisms and have a cyber risk insurance policy in place that provides coverage for security incident response expenses, certain losses due to network security failures, investigation expenses, privacy liability and certain third-party liability.

Given the importance of information security and privacy to our stakeholders, the Board receives regular reports from senior management assessing our program for managing information security risks, including data privacy and data protection risks.

Director Education

The Company and each Board member are members of the National Association of Corporate Directors (the “NACD”). As members of the NACD and through other external director education service providers, the Company and each Board member have access to various programs, materials, reports and research teams.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Board has established Guidelines that address various governance matters, including the role, function, size and composition of the Board, Board tenure, service on other public company boards, conflict of interest issues, executive sessions of non-management directors, shareholder engagement, review of committee charters and the Board self-evaluation process. Copies of the Guidelines and certain other policies adopted by the Board are available on the “Investors” page of the Company’s website, www.scansource.com, under the “Corporate Governance” tab. By referring to the Company’s website, www.scansource.com, or any portion thereof, including the “Investors” page of the Company’s website, the Company does not incorporate its website or its contents into this Proxy Statement.

GENERAL BOARD FUNCTIONS

The Guidelines set forth general functions of the Board, including holding regularly scheduled meetings and special meetings where appropriate; periodically reviewing management’s performance and our organizational structure; regularly reviewing management talent development and succession planning for our NEOs; providing guidance, reviewing and, when appropriate, approving corporate strategy; determining compensation for our NEOs through the Compensation Committee and with advice from the CEO and approving awards of equity-based compensation; overseeing our accounting and financial reporting process and the audits of our financial statements through the Audit Committee; identifying potential candidates for Board membership and regularly reviewing Board succession planning through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; overseeing our risk management activities; and retaining independent advisors on behalf of the Board when appropriate.

Board of Directors

DIRECTOR RESIGNATION POLICY

Section 4(c) of the Articles provides that directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast on the election of directors in uncontested elections and a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors in contested elections. The Articles and the Guidelines provide that a nominee for director who is an incumbent director will tender their resignation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for its consideration if, in an uncontested election, the director fails to receive an affirmative majority of the votes cast. The Board, on recommendation from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, will then determine whether to accept the director’s resignation.

RETENTION OF INDEPENDENT ADVISORS

The Guidelines provide that the Board may retain independent advisors when appropriate.

SUCCESSION PLANNING

The Board engages in an active succession planning process, including both CEO and senior management succession planning. On an annual basis, with the assistance of our CEO, the Board reviews the potential in-house candidates for each of the critical senior management positions and identifies areas of growth for those candidates that will best enable them to fill any need that we might have. Where there is not a satisfactory in-house candidate for a position, the Board considers whether outside candidates are likely to be available in a timely manner and whether other alternatives need to be considered. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also regularly reviews Board succession planning and identifies potential candidates for nomination for election to the Board, with the objective being that all new, non-CEO candidates will be independent.

BOARD TENURE

The Board is elected annually and is not classified. The Board does not have a mandatory retirement age or term limits for directors. We believe our shareholders benefit from continuity of directors. To ensure the Board continues to generate new ideas and operate effectively, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually evaluates the Board’s performance and takes steps as necessary regarding continuing director tenure. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers each director’s age and length of tenure when considering Board composition and seeks to maintain a balance of experience and continuity, along with fresh perspectives.

BOARD SIZE

The size of the Board may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board. Peter Browning, who had served on the Board since 2014, retired from the Board in August 2026. In connection with Browning’s retirement, the Board was decreased in size to seven members.

INDEPENDENCE OF BOARD

The Guidelines provide that a majority of the Board at all times will be independent. Through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board identifies potential candidates for nomination for election to the Board with the objective being that all new, non-employee candidates will be independent. The Board, with the assistance of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determines the independence of the non-management directors on an annual basis. The Board has determined that each of Frank E. Emory, Jr. (“Frank Emory” or “Emory”), Charles Mathis, Vernon J. Nagel (“Vernon Nagel” or “Nagel”), Dorothy F. Ramoneda (“Dorothy Ramoneda” or “Ramoneda”), Jeffrey R. Rodek (“Jeffrey Rodek” or “Rodek”) and Elizabeth O. Temple (“Elizabeth Temple” or “Temple”) meet the requirements for being “independent” as that term is defined in the SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing standards. Mike Baur is the only management member of the Board.

COMPOSITION OF BOARD

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly reviews skills, expertise, background and other characteristics of existing and potential director candidates in deciding on nominations for election to the Board by our shareholders or for appointment to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks director nominees that would complement and enhance the effectiveness of the existing Board with respect to skills, knowledge, perspectives, experience, background and other characteristics.

SERVICE ON OTHER PUBLIC COMPANY BOARDS

The Guidelines provide that a non-management director may serve on no more than four public company boards of directors (including the Board) and no more than three public company audit committees. The Guidelines further

Board of Directors

provide that the CEO of the Company may serve on no more than two public company boards of directors (including the Board). All members of the Board, including the CEO, were in compliance with the guidelines regarding service on boards and audit committees of other public companies as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OF NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the Guidelines, the non-management directors must meet regularly as a board and in committees in executive session, without the participation of the CEO or other members of the Company’s management. Our non-management directors met regularly in executive session during fiscal 2026 Board and committee meetings.

DIRECTOR EVALUATIONS AND REVIEWS

In accordance with the Guidelines, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conduct annual performance reviews of the Board and its committees. As a part of the evaluation process, the Board and each of the Board committees meet and discuss self-assessments and corporate governance matters.

ANTI-PLEDGING POLICY

Under the Company’s anti-pledging policy, directors, officers and employees of the Company are prohibited from holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. All our executive officers and directors were in compliance with this policy as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

ANTI-HEDGING POLICY

Under the Company’s anti-hedging policy, directors, officers and employees of the Company are prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions. All our executive officers and directors were in compliance with this policy as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

Shareholder Engagement

Engagement with our shareholders remains a key focus for ScanSource and an important part of the Board’s governance commitment. We have long believed maintaining a strong and transparent relationship with our shareholders is essential. We remain committed to engaging with our shareholders on key issues, including board composition, leadership transitions, executive compensation, capital allocation and governance practices. We believe our engagement efforts allow us to better understand the priorities, perspectives, and concerns of our shareholders, strengthen our relationships with our shareholders and make more informed decisions for the benefit of our shareholders.

Engagement Team. Our governance engagement team typically includes the Chair of our Compensation Committee, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer and Senior Vice President of Investor Relations. However, depending on the specific topic that our investors may wish to discuss, we may have other members of the Board, other members of our executive team or internal subject-matter leaders participate. Over the past year, we reached out to shareholders representing nearly 70% of shares outstanding and we held engagement calls with some of our largest shareholders, which represented approximately 60% of shares outstanding.

Engagement Framework & Response Plan
\n
Pre-Meeting		■ Review updates to investors’ and proxy advisory firms’ governance policies. ■ Monitor governance-related trends and regulatory developments. ■ Conduct off-cycle engagement to further understand investors’ views and priorities.
\n
Annual Meeting		■ Conduct in-season outreach to discuss ballot items, as needed. ■ Solicit feedback on new or revised governance practices and disclosures, if relevant.
\n
Post-Meeting		■ Review annual meeting voting results. ■ Discuss feedback from in-season engagement. ■ Prioritize potential governance and engagement initiatives for the future.
\n
Year-Round		■ Discuss business, financial performance and long-term strategy with sell-side analysts, institutional investors and other stakeholders in connection with quarterly earnings releases, investor conferences or one-on-one meetings.
\n
Review		■ Share feedback and insights, both complimentary and constructive, with management and the Board for consideration and discussion.
\n
Evaluate		■ Evaluate potential changes to existing practices or policies to determine what action plan is most appropriate for ScanSource. ■ Where appropriate, collect additional input from senior leadership or independent third parties to better understand issues, risks and opportunities.
\n
Respond		■ Implement governance changes, disclosure enhancements or other actions, if warranted. ■ Discuss responsive actions in subsequent Proxy Statement, Corporate Citizenship Report, or other public communications, with rationale and background.

Engagement Framework. Our engagement program has evolved over the years, consistent with the expectations of our investors. Historically, we have taken a more organic approach to shareholder engagement, primarily focused on financial performance and long-term strategy. In recent years, we invited shareholders to discuss governance and corporate responsibility topics with us, with the majority of these calls occurring “off-season” or not in connection with the annual meeting of shareholders. Today, we have a more intentional and proactive approach to shareholder engagement, in which we both invite and seek feedback and perspectives on a variety of topics during the year. We believe these various engagement efforts, whether they are part of a broad-based discussion or the result of a targeted outreach effort we have initiated, are invaluable as they allow us to better understand the priorities, perspectives and suggestions or concerns of our shareholders, strengthen our relationships and make more informed decisions for their benefit.

The Audit Committee met 5 times during fiscal 2026. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements for audit committee members as set forth in the Nasdaq listing standards and the Exchange Act. The Board has determined that (i) each of Charles Mathis, Vernon Nagel, Jeffrey Rodek and Elizabeth Temple is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC rules and (ii) all Audit Committee members meet the Nasdaq listing standard of financial sophistication.

Compensation Committee

The functions of the Compensation Committee include reviewing and approving executive compensation policies and practices; reviewing salaries and bonuses for our NEOs; overseeing our equity-based compensation plans; overseeing compensation risk assessment; and considering such other matters as may from time to time be referred to the Compensation Committee by the Board. The Compensation Committee met 6 times during fiscal 2026.

Candidates for the Board

CANDIDATES FOR THE BOARD

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will identify and screen potential nominees for directors, including nominees recommended by shareholders or third-party search firms, and recommend nominees to the Board. See “Shareholder Proposals” for a discussion of the Company’s policies for shareholder nominees for directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted specific objective requirements for service on the Board. Instead, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider various factors in determining whether to recommend to the Board potential new board members, or the continued service of existing members, including the nominee’s experience and skills and whether such experience or skills are particularly relevant to us; whether the nominee would be an independent director under Nasdaq listing standards and applicable law; and, in the case of existing members, the nominee’s contributions as a member of the Board during their prior service. Generally, the Board considers such factors as race, age, gender, national origin and other factors as part of the consideration with regard to diversity. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee strives to nominate directors with a variety of complementary skills so that the Board, as a whole, will possess the appropriate talent, skills and expertise to oversee our business. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may engage a third-party search firm to assist the committee in locating, recruiting and vetting potential candidates for election or appointment as directors.

Board Skills & Composition

The matrix below provides information regarding the current members of the Board, including certain types of knowledge, skills, experiences and attributes possessed by one or more of our directors which the Board believes are relevant to our business and industry and demographic information. The matrix does not encompass all of the knowledge, skills, experiences or attributes of our directors, and the fact that a particular knowledge, skill, experience or attribute with respect to any of our directors is not marked does not mean the director in question is unable to contribute to the decision-making process in that area. The type and degree of knowledge, skill, experience or attribute listed below may vary among the members of the Board.

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which applies to all our officers, directors, and their Family Members (as defined in the Insider Trading Policy). The policy prohibits such individuals, when they are aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Company, from engaging in transactions in the Company’s securities, recommending the purchase or sale of any of the Company’s securities or disclosing such material nonpublic information to individuals outside the Company. The policy provides for a limited number of exceptions, such as when a transaction is effected pursuant to a valid Rule

10b5-1

plan. The policy also provides for restricted trading periods during which our executive officers and directors generally cannot engage in trading. We believe the Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the Nasdaq listing standards.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Audit Committee reviews and, if appropriate, approves or ratifies all transactions that could potentially be required to be reported under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards.

In addition, the Audit Committee’s charter requires the Audit Committee to review all director and officer related party transactions and potential conflicts of interests on an ongoing basis and to review a summary of the same on an annual basis.

There are no family relationships between any executive officer, director or nominee for director, and there are no arrangements or understandings between any director or nominee for director and any other person pursuant to which such person was selected as a director or nominee for director of the Company.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD

Corporate Citizenship Strategy and Progress

CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP STRATEGY AND PROGRESS

In October of 2026, the Company issued its Corporate Citizenship report for fiscal 2026.

ScanSource’s Corporate Citizenship Steering Committee – a cross-functional team with members across the business – has guided our strategy and driven progress, including the development of our Corporate Citizenship reports. As we continue to advance our business, we remain focused on the corporate citizenship topics that matter most to our key stakeholders, including employees, channel sales partners, suppliers, investors, and the communities we serve. Building on how ScanSource embeds corporate citizenship considerations into business strategy, the report emphasizes ScanSource’s commitment to people, culture, and communities.

The report can be found at www.scansource.com/about/responsibility. Select highlights include:

\n\n\n\n

■

Materiality Matrix: Aligned with the SASB framework and prioritizes topics based on their importance to stakeholders and the business

\n\n\n\n

■

Materiality Matrix Priorities: Business ethics; inclusion and belonging; data security and privacy; and employee engagement, training and development

\n\n\n\n

■

People and Culture: Employee engagement, training and development, including more than 600 unique employee trainings and the introduction of an artificial intelligence (“AI”) channel through our global learning platform

\n\n\n\n

■

Community Impact: Grants awarded during the 2025 grant cycle supporting more than 57 nonprofit organizations, as well as continued expansion of our Impact 360 community partnership program

\n\n\n\n

■

Environment and Sustainability: Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data through 2025; energy and recycling initiatives; and completion of our first qualitative assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities

\n\n\n\n

■

Ethics and Governance: Continued Board and management oversight of corporate citizenship matters

The report also outlines our continued progress on key priorities — particularly in regard to keeping our people and culture front and center, in alignment with our materiality matrix and business goals. Employee engagement remains closely linked to our overall success, and we continue to gather employee feedback through surveys and focus groups to guide improvements to our programs and processes. Our Employee Voices survey in North America, complemented by the Pulses survey in Brazil, covers topics including leadership, engagement, teamwork, retention, recognition, compensation and benefits, development, and well-being. Participation in Employee Voices has exceeded 60 percent, and its insights continue to guide enhancements to our programs and processes.

At ScanSource, we prioritize our Corporate Citizenship strategy to focus on what matters most for our business and stakeholders. Leading with our people and guided by our core values, we continue to advance sustainable growth and build long-term resilience for ScanSource.

SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE

We are committed to building a supply chain that is focused on shared values and resilience. As a distributor of technology solutions and not a manufacturer, ScanSource is not an emissions-intensive business and has lower exposure to risks such as product redesign costs and responsible mineral sourcing.

Our Business Partner Code of Conduct requires suppliers and partners to uphold corporate social responsibility, fairness, and ethics. Our Business Continuity of Operations plan includes response plans for incidents that could disrupt operations or affect employees or partners. A 2025 qualitative climate-related risk assessment considered severe-weather risks to our supply chain, logistics network, and distribution operations. We believe our business continuity planning, diversified supplier base, and logistics partnerships help mitigate potential disruptions.

Charitable Activities

CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES

In 1997, we established the ScanSource Charitable Foundation to support our commitment to giving back to our communities through investments of time, talent and resources where we have operations. Our philanthropic efforts support the following areas of focus for giving back: education, community enrichment, environmental sustainability, workforce development, recruiting, and child welfare. Since its founding, through corporate and Foundation contributions, ScanSource has invested more than $22 million in our communities.

During the 2025 grant cycle, the ScanSource Charitable Foundation donated approximately $300,000, supporting more than 57 nonprofit organizations through financial contributions and volunteer efforts. ScanSource further supports this commitment by matching employee donations 100 percent and offering a volunteer time-off policy.

Our Impact 360 program expanded to more than a dozen schools across ScanSource’s footprint. During 2025, more than 400 ScanSource volunteers contributed more than 2,000 hours in support of our communities. Impact 360 also received a Silver Halo Award for Best Education Initiative from Engage for Good, and ScanSource received recognition from the Greenville County School District and the South Carolina School Boards Association for its support of public education.

DATA SECURITY AND PRIVACY

At ScanSource, we continuously monitor the ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity while empowering our people to uphold a strong security awareness culture. We are dedicated to safeguarding and protecting customer, supplier, employee, and Company data through our cybersecurity measures and controls described in our ScanSource Privacy Policy and related internal and public-facing policies.

As part of our cybersecurity program, our employees receive monthly, mandatory security training and awareness alerts on phishing, ransomware, and emerging threats. ScanSource’s management also engages in regular cybersecurity tabletop exercises to advance preparedness in cybersecurity threat scenarios.

The Company understands the importance of security and makes every effort to ensure that partner information held in our systems and other related areas is protected. Employees who handle personal or private information must follow ScanSource guidelines and applicable local privacy laws and regulations.

ScanSource follows the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and applicable privacy regulations, including LGPD, CCPA, and CPRA. Our program also helps us monitor and address new requirements where we operate.

The need for rapid response is integral to our information security program. Our Cyber Incident Response Team (“CIRT”), supported by established relationships with digital forensics and incident response providers, is prepared for appropriate response to cybersecurity threats or incidents. We continue to adopt a forward-thinking view of business decisions, including the continual review of relevant risks that may have an impact on information security. The Company’s management and Board view this as one of their primary responsibilities and fundamental to business best practices, with our Board receiving regular updates on the topic. We will continue to evolve our Corporate Citizenship program in a manner that is beneficial to the Company and our stakeholders.

ScanSource publishes a Corporate Citizenship report that is periodically updated and can be found at www.scansource.com/about/responsibility. The Corporate Citizenship report is not being incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.

For a discussion of the assumptions made in such valuation, see Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2026, included in the Annual Report (as defined below). Each non-employee director received restricted stock units on September 1, 2025 for 3,693 shares, based on the trailing 10-day average closing stock price on September 1, 2025 of $43.65, that vested on September 1, 2026.

\n\n\n

⁽⁴⁾	Browning retired from the Board in August 2026.

Cash Retainers

Directors who are not our employees are paid an annual retainer of $90,000. An additional annual retainer of $70,000 is paid, as applicable, to a non-executive chair or lead independent director of the Board. An additional annual retainer of: (i) $25,000 is paid to the chair of the Audit Committee, (ii) $20,000 is paid to the chair of the Compensation Committee, and (iii) $15,000 is paid to the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Annual service for this purpose relates to the Company’s fiscal year. All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their service as directors as well as the cost of any director education. Directors may elect to receive any portion of their cash fees in shares.

Equity Retainers

Under the terms of our non-employee director compensation program, our non-employee directors receive an annual equity retainer in the form of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units that is generally granted at the same time as the annual equity awards for our employees. In addition, non-employee directors also may be eligible to receive other awards under the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan.

For directors serving on the Board on the date of the fiscal 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, the number of shares subject to such director’s annual equity retainer was determined by dividing $160,000 by the trailing 10-day average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Any director who first becomes a non-employee director on a date other than a regularly scheduled annual meeting of shareholders will receive a restricted stock unit for a pro-rated number of shares of common stock.

In fiscal 2026, directors received their equity retainer under the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. All equity retainers granted under the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan will vest in full on the day that is one year after the date of grant, or upon the earlier occurrence of (i) the director’s termination of service as a director by reason of death, disability or retirement or (ii) a change in control of the Company. If a director terminates service for any other reason, he or she will forfeit all of their right, title and interest in and to the unvested equity award as of the date of termination, unless the Board determines otherwise. Each non-employee director can elect to defer their equity retainer under the ScanSource, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”).

Director Compensation Table

In August 2026, the Board approved changes to our Board of Directors Compensation Program. As a result, the number of shares subject to such director’s annual equity retainer for fiscal 2027 was determined by dividing $180,000 by the trailing 10-day average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Stock Ownership and Retention Policy

Under the equity ownership policy, directors are expected to hold five times their annual Board cash retainer in Company securities. The policy also incorporates a retention requirement by requiring such persons to retain 50% of the net shares resulting from the vesting of certain awards until the required ownership under the policy is met. As of the end of fiscal 2026, all directors were in compliance with this policy.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the election of each of the seven nominees previously listed in this Proxy Statement. Unless otherwise specified, proxies will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the seven nominees previously listed in this Proxy Statement.

Proposal Number 2 – Advisory Vote To Approve Named Executive

Officer Compensation

BACKGROUND OF THE PROPOSAL

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity at the Annual Meeting to vote on a non-binding advisory resolution, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, approving the compensation of our NEOs. The Company holds this non-binding advisory vote annually. Except as otherwise discussed below, there have been no material changes to our compensation policies this year. This vote is not intended to address any specific item or element of compensation or the compensation of any specific NEO, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices used to determine compensation described in this Proxy Statement. A discussion of these items is found in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee has overseen the development of a compensation program designed to attract, retain and motivate executives who enable us to achieve our strategic and financial goals. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the executive compensation tables regarding NEO compensation, together with the accompanying narrative disclosure, illustrate the trends in compensation and the application of our compensation philosophy, policies and practices for the years presented. Highlights of our compensation program include the following:

\n\n\n\n

■

Variable cash incentives are payable to NEOs to encourage the achievement of various pre-determined performance metrics, business growth opportunities, management goals and profitability of business units, all of which focus our NEOs on performance goals intended to enhance shareholder value.

\n\n\n\n

Awards of long-term equity incentives, in the form of performance-based and service-based restricted stock unit awards, directly align the interests of our NEOs and shareholders.

\n\n\n\n

■

Linking the personal financial interests of our NEOs to the Company’s long-term performance discourages excessive risk-taking and encourages behavior that supports sustainable shareholder value creation.

Maintaining policies covering stock ownership and retention, incentive compensation recoupment, and anti-pledging and anti-hedging for executive officers mitigates risk in connection with our executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee believes that our executive compensation program achieves an appropriate balance between fixed compensation and variable incentive compensation, pays for performance and promotes an alignment between the interests of our NEOs and our shareholders. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders at the Annual Meeting to vote “FOR” the non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation of our NEOs, including in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion below.

RESOLUTION

For the reasons stated above, we are asking shareholders to vote, on an advisory basis, “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.

EFFECT OF RESOLUTION

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board value the opinions of our shareholders and will take the outcome of the vote into account when considering future executive compensation arrangements for our NEOs.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board believes that our executive compensation program aligns our NEOs’ compensation with the long-term interests of our shareholders. Our program is guided by the philosophy that total executive compensation should vary based on achievement of goals and objectives, both individual and corporate, and should be focused on long-term

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

Proposal Number 3 – Ratification of the Appointment of

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, which appointment has been ratified by the Board. See “Audit Committee Report” below for more information.

The Company expects that a representative of Deloitte will attend the Annual Meeting, and the representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if the representative desires to do so. The Company also expects that a representative of Deloitte will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

Shareholder ratification of the appointment of Deloitte to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027 is not required by law, but is being presented in the discretion of the Board. If the Company’s shareholders do not ratify this appointment, other independent registered public accounting firms will be considered by the Audit Committee. Even if this appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the fiscal year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) previously served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On October 9, 2025, the Audit Committee dismissed Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon completion of the interim review of the quarterly information on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2025. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and for the subsequent interim period through October 9, 2025 (the date of Deloitte’s engagement), neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Deloitte regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K. Grant Thornton’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and in the subsequent interim period through October 9, 2025, there were no (i) disagreements (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K (“Regulation S-K”) of the rules and regulations of the SEC) with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which if not resolved to Grant Thornton’s satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement in connection with its report, or (ii) reportable events (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the rules and regulations of the SEC).

FEES PAID TO INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

As reflected in the table below, we incurred fees in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 for services performed by Deloitte and Grant Thornton related to such periods.

Audit Committee’s Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

AUDIT COMMITTEE’S PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

It is the policy of the Audit Committee to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services proposed to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. All audit and permitted non-audit services performed in fiscal 2026 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The process for such pre-approval is typically as follows: Audit Committee pre-approval is sought at one of the Audit Committee’s regularly scheduled meetings following the presentation of information at such meeting detailing the particular services proposed to be performed. The authority to pre-approve non-audit services may be delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to guidelines approved by the Audit Committee, to one or more members of the Audit Committee. None of the services described above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the exception provided by the Exchange Act rules.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the non-audit services provided by Deloitte and has determined that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining Deloitte’s independence for the period of time during which it has served as our independent registered public accounting firm.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. Unless otherwise specified, proxies will be voted “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

Executive Summary

2026 Business Results

Fiscal 2026 was a year of accelerating growth, strong profitability, and disciplined capital allocation. Net sales increased 6.1% to $3.23 billion, reflecting improving technology demand and strong execution across our business. Gross profit increased 7.0% to $437.4 million, while adjusted EBITDA grew 4.8% to $151.5 million. On a GAAP basis, net income for fiscal 2026 totaled $78.9 million, or $3.64 per diluted share, compared to $71.5 million, or $3.00 per diluted share, in fiscal 2025. Non-GAAP net income increased 8.0% to $91.9 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 18.8% to $4.24, representing record annual earnings performance.

Fiscal 2026 represented continued progress in our strategy to orchestrate complex technology solutions that enable our channel partners to meet the evolving needs of their customers. We delivered growth across both our Specialty Technology Solutions and Intelisys & Advisory segments, supported by broad-based demand in physical security, networking, mobility, cloud, and communications technologies. Our diversified sales models, technology portfolio, and recurring revenue offerings continue to position ScanSource to help partners accelerate growth across hardware, software, connectivity and cloud services.

In fiscal 2026, our gross profit margin expanded to 13.6%, compared to 13.4% in fiscal 2025. The continued growth of recurring revenue remained a key contributor to profitability and margin expansion. Recurring revenue increased 10.6% during the year and represented approximately 34% of consolidated gross profit, up from 32.8% in the prior year.

We remained focused on driving shareholder value through disciplined execution and strong cash flow generation. Fiscal 2026 operating cash flow totaled $123 million, and free cash flow was $114 million, representing free cash flow conversion of approximately 124% of non-GAAP net income. Our strong balance sheet and cash generation provided flexibility to invest in strategic growth opportunities while continuing to return capital to shareholders. We continued to execute our capital allocation strategy through both strategic investments and share repurchases. During fiscal 2026, we repurchased approximately $98 million of ScanSource shares.

In August 2026, we announced an agreement to acquire MicroAge, a leading IT solutions integrator that expands our services capabilities and customer value proposition, and is expected to support future growth and margin expansion.

As we enter fiscal 2027, we remain confident in our strategy and long-term growth opportunities. Building on our strong fiscal 2026 performance, we expect continued revenue growth, expanding recurring revenue opportunities, and sustained profitability as we help our channel partners capitalize on the ongoing convergence of hardware, software, cloud, communications, and services technologies.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Fiscal 2026 Pay Mix

The Compensation Committee strives to provide our NEOs with a compensation package that balances short-term and long-term compensation. We believe that our current executive compensation program, consisting primarily of a mix of base salary, annual performance-based cash incentive awards and both performance-based and service-based grants of equity, (i) provides a predictable and transparent structure for executive compensation, (ii) provides a significant percentage of a NEO’s compensation through variable performance-based vehicles and (iii) attracts, retains and motivates our NEOs.

Our executive compensation program emphasizes performance-based pay. The elements of compensation and the general mix of compensation among the various elements remained largely unchanged from the previous year.

Our financial performance during fiscal 2026 is reflected in the compensation of each of our current NEOs for fiscal 2026, particularly with respect to payouts pursuant to our annual cash incentive program. Our cash incentive opportunity is designed so that, if our financial results, as measured by certain consolidated adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow conversion numbers, reflect an increase in the financial performance of the Company, then our executives should realize a greater cash incentive. Awards are also capped at 175% of each executive’s target bonus regardless of our financial performance.

For fiscal 2026, the cash incentives paid to our NEOs increased from fiscal 2025 based primarily on (i) our financial performance and (ii) the Compensation Committee’s pre-established Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) operating targets for the cash incentive opportunity. The value of the equity awarded to our NEOs increased in fiscal 2026, following the Compensation Committee’s review of their compensation against the market and in light of their individual performance in the prior fiscal year. Half of such awards remain subject to performance targets. We believe this result is appropriately aligned with the Company’s fiscal 2026 financial performance and the Company’s long-term compensation program.

In addition, we believe that it is important to link each of our current NEO’s compensation and personal financial interests with long-term shareholder value creation. Accordingly, 62% of our CEO’s total compensation, 49% of Jones’ total compensation, 42% of Smith’s total compensation, 0% of Webb’s total compensation, 30% of Hayden’s total compensation and 39% of Conde’s total compensation for fiscal 2026 was in the form of long-term equity incentives (each as reported in the Summary Compensation Table). For fiscal 2026, variable performance-based compensation in the form of cash and long-term equity incentives constituted 85% of our CEO’s total compensation, 76% of Jones’ total compensation, 71% of Smith’s total compensation, 16% of Webb’s total compensation, 46% of Hayden’s total compensation and 63% of Conde’s total compensation (each as reported in the Summary Compensation Table).

Consideration of Results of Shareholder Advisory Votes in Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee monitors the results of our annual “Say-on-Pay” vote and considers those results, together with shareholder feedback and our compensation objectives, in evaluating our executive compensation program. At our December 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, approximately 75% of the shares voted supported our executive compensation program. While this represented majority support, it was below historical levels. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee sought feedback on our executive compensation program as part of our ongoing shareholder engagement activities.

As more fully described in the Shareholder Engagement section above, for our governance team outreach, during 2026 we reached out to shareholders representing approximately 60% of our shares outstanding and held engagement calls with some of our largest shareholders, representing nearly 50% of our shares outstanding. Our Compensation Committee Chair participated in six of these engagement meetings, underscoring the Compensation Committee’s commitment to maintaining an open dialogue with our shareholders and understanding their perspectives on executive compensation and governance matters.

Overall, shareholders expressed general support for our executive compensation program and its alignment with our business strategy and performance objectives. At the same time, a key theme emerging from these discussions was a preference for a longer performance measurement period for our long-term equity incentive awards.

Beginning with the awards granted in fiscal 2026, the Compensation Committee extended the performance measurement period for the normalized non-GAAP earnings per share metric under our performance share awards from

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

two years to three years, which was consistent with the feedback we received following the most recent say-on-pay vote. This change reinforced our emphasis on sustained financial performance and further aligns our long-term incentive program with the interests of our shareholders.

The Compensation Committee will continue to consider shareholder feedback and Say-on-Pay results as part of its ongoing evaluation of our executive compensation program.

Objectives of the Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate executives through achieving the following three objectives:

\n\n\n\n

■

Pay-for-Performance

\n\n\n\n

■

Align Interests of Executives with Shareholders

\n\n\n\n

■

Retain Talented Leadership

Pay-for-Performance

The guiding principle of our compensation philosophy is that pay should be linked to performance and that the interests of executives and shareholders should be aligned. Our compensation program is designed to provide significant performance-based compensation through our cash incentive plan, and a large portion of the compensation is in the form of equity awards. As a result, a significant portion of our NEOs’ compensation is directly contingent on our operating results and/or aligned with shareholder interests.

Best Practice Compensation Policies and Practices

The following compensation policies and practices are designed to align the interests of our NEOs and our shareholders:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Retain Talented Leadership

We operate in a marketplace characterized by significant competition for talented executives. Our executive compensation program is designed to enable us to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent necessary to achieve both long-term and short-term corporate objectives and enhance shareholder value. We also aim to establish executive compensation levels that correlate directly to the NEO’s level of responsibility, with the compensation of our NEOs being tied both to our performance as a whole and to individual performance. To do this effectively, our philosophy is that our compensation program must provide our NEOs with a total compensation package that is reasonable in relation to our performance, and sufficiently competitive with the packages offered by similarly sized companies within or outside our industry.

Material Elements of Our Compensation Programs

In determining the compensation of our NEOs, the Compensation Committee uses the following material compensation elements, which it believes support our compensation objectives.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Compensation Committee determines the amounts of each element and the aggregate compensation for our NEOs without using any specific formula or attempting to satisfy any specific ratio for compensation among our NEOs; however, the differences in the aggregate compensation between our CEO and the other NEOs are intended to reflect the individual responsibilities with respect to their respective positions, experience in the applicable role, experience in our industry and market compensation data for peer companies. In determining compensation for our NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers the amount of compensation they receive in cash versus equity, along with the status of outstanding equity awards.

The Compensation Committee views the components of compensation as related, but distinct, and therefore regularly reevaluates the appropriate mix of elements, including the appropriate targets for incentive awards. The Compensation Committee also relies on the independent expertise compiled from the general knowledge, experience and good judgment of its members, both with regard to competitive compensation levels and the relative success that the Company has achieved. The Compensation Committee also retains, and relies on information provided by Pearl Meyer, an independent compensation consultant.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Process for Determining Named Executive Officer Compensation

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing, approving, and monitoring compensation policies and programs that are consistent with our business strategy and aligned with shareholders’ interests. Specifically, the Compensation Committee is responsible for:

\n\n\n\n

■

reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO and other NEOs;

\n\n\n\n

■

negotiating the employment agreement of the CEO;

\n\n\n\n

■

reviewing and approving any employment letters or contracts and severance plans of all other NEOs;

\n\n\n\n

■

reviewing and approving annual incentive awards to NEOs; and

\n\n\n\n

■

reviewing and approving equity-based compensation plans and grants of equity awards under such plans and the Board-approved policies or guidelines applicable to them.

The Compensation Committee meets several times each year to review and approve executive compensation programs and performance and, if necessary, recommend approval to the Board.

Role of Management

The Compensation Committee regularly meets with the CEO to receive reports and recommendations regarding the compensation of our NEOs other than the CEO. In particular, the CEO recommends to the Compensation Committee annual base salaries, annual incentive awards and long-term or performance equity grants for the NEOs other than himself. Although the Compensation Committee considers the CEO’s recommendations, the final decisions regarding base salary, annual incentive awards and equity awards of the NEOs are made by the Compensation Committee. As part of its evaluation process, the Compensation Committee considers, among other things, performance and consistency, the NEO’s individual performance over the prior year, changes in responsibilities and future potential as well as data available from compensation surveys and recommendations from its independent compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee evaluates each NEO, including the CEO, sets performance criteria for annual cash incentive awards, and makes long-term equity grants, if any. MIP targets for certain financial measures are established following consultation with management, with consideration for adjustments for one-time expenses or longer-term investments that are planned, at the beginning of each fiscal year and as necessary throughout the year.

Role of Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain independent compensation consultants to provide counsel and advice. For fiscal 2026, the Compensation Committee retained Pearl Meyer. The Compensation Committee reviewed all factors relevant to the independence of Pearl Meyer, including:

\n\n\n\n

■

The provision of services to the Company by the consultant other than those requested by the Compensation Committee;

\n\n\n\n

■

The amount of fees received by the consultant as a percentage of its total revenue;

\n\n\n\n

■

The policies and procedures adopted by the consultant that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest;

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Role of Peer Companies and Benchmarking

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews benchmarking and market surveys to ensure that our compensation is competitive with that of our peers.

Pearl Meyer provides the Compensation Committee with general market surveys and other information related to the general market for executive compensation, including best practices and emerging trends. In addition, in fiscal 2026 Pearl Meyer provided information derived from proxy statements from peer companies and from surveys that include publicly traded and privately held technology distributors and other technology industry companies with similar revenues. The peer companies referred to for evaluation of fiscal 2026 compensation included the following:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Benchmark Electronics, Inc.		NCR Voyix Corporation f/k/a NCR Corporation		Zebra Technologies Corporation
Brady Corporation		PC Connection, Inc.
Diebold Nixdorf, Inc.		Plexus Corp.
ePlus, Inc.		TTM Technologies, Inc.

The Compensation Committee reviewed compensation information from this peer group by comparable executive position and level to better understand the market for other participants at similar levels for all aspects of compensation. In a review of the available applicable data, the Compensation Committee sought to ensure that the overall compensation to our NEOs was competitive and within norms for the industry and other companies of similar characteristics based on the executive’s position, level and job performance. The Compensation Committee took this evaluation into account in determining all elements of NEO compensation for fiscal 2026, including the fiscal 2026 MIP design and equity awards.

Named Executive Officer Compensation in Fiscal 2026

In deciding whether to increase a NEO’s compensation, the Compensation Committee considers company performance, market trends, the consistency of the NEO’s individual performance over the prior year, changes in the NEO’s responsibilities and the NEO’s future potential. The Compensation Committee also considers data and information provided by its independent compensation consultant, including comparisons of peer companies comprised of other participants in the industry and other similar companies based on size and other objective factors.

In evaluating the Company’s performance in fiscal 2026, the primary consideration was our financial performance for the relevant annual period, with a focus on driving greater long-term shareholder value through our differentiated distribution strategy and improved free cash flow. To enhance management’s alignment with shareholders, we revised the metrics for the annual variable performance-based cash incentive awards for our NEOs in fiscal 2025 to add free cash flow conversion and individual performance measures, while continuing to incorporate adjusted EBITDA, and we continued this plan design in fiscal 2026.

Base Salary

Base salary generally provides a fixed base level of compensation for our executives for the services they render during the year. The purpose of base salary is to compensate our NEOs in light of their respective roles and responsibilities over time. Base salary is essential to allow us to compete in the employment marketplace for talent and is an important component of total compensation for the NEOs. It is vital to our goal of recruiting and retaining NEOs with proven abilities. A NEO’s base salary is initially set in accordance with the terms of their employment agreement or letter and is reviewed annually or as needed.

The Compensation Committee met in August of 2025 to review and determine the NEOs’ base salaries for fiscal 2026. In making its decisions, the Compensation Committee considered each NEO’s position, past performance, time in role, and competitive market data from the Company’s peer group. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee approved base salary adjustments for fiscal 2026, including market-based increases of 15.8% for Baur and 13.0% for Jones to better align their salaries with competitive market levels for their respective positions.

Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives

Annual variable performance-based cash incentive awards are granted under the MIP and are designed to encourage the achievement of various pre-determined goals. Beginning in fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee set MIP targets for achievement of both Company financial and operating performance goals and individual performance goals and objectives and continued this design in fiscal 2026. Annual performance-based cash incentive opportunities were set based on an analysis of market data and assessing the experience of the respective individual and their respective role. The design provides that each NEO’s cash incentive opportunity will be expressed as a percentage of their base salary and earned based on non-GAAP operating results and the attainment of certain individual performance goals and objectives as compared to pre-established threshold and stretch goals. The cash incentive opportunities for each of our NEOs function as a multiple of their base salary, and since base salaries increased for each NEO (other than Webb) in fiscal 2026, their target cash incentive opportunity increased as well. Hayden and Smith each had their target bonus as a percentage of their base salary increase from 75% to 85%. Each NEO has a variable factor by role or position applied as a percentage against their respective base salary, as set forth in the table below.

The performance targets were established by the Compensation Committee in August 2025.

The Company’s financial and operating performance goals under the MIP were consolidated adjusted EBITDA (“Performance Award Adjusted EBITDA”) and free cash flow conversion (“FCF Conversion”) based on the Compensation Committee’s belief that these measurements currently best align with driving shareholder value. These metrics encourage healthy financial growth by assisting management in comparing the Company’s performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis while removing the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance from the Company’s operating results.

Each Company performance metric is adopted with certain adjustments to align management’s performance on focused strategic objectives. Seventy-five percent of the target cash incentive opportunity is subject to Company performance, and the maximum cash incentive opportunity for any NEO with respect to Company performance is 150%

of their target incentive opportunity. The payouts of this portion of the opportunity depend on our results in comparison to these targets. If performance of any measure does not meet the applicable threshold for that measure, no award will be earned for that measure. If the performance of a measure reaches the applicable threshold, the award earned for that measure will be 30% of the target. If the performance reaches the applicable target, the award earned for that measure will be 100%, and if the performance reaches or exceeds the applicable maximum, the award earned for the measure will be 200% of target. The award earned for results between either the threshold and target or the target and maximum are calculated using straight-line interpolation. The weightings of each of the Company performance measures are as follows:

Performance Award Adjusted EBITDA and FCF Conversion are non-GAAP financial measures. “Performance Award Adjusted EBITDA” for MIP purposes starts with net income and adds back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash share-based compensation expense and other non-GAAP adjustments. “FCF Conversion” is determined by dividing free cash flow by non-GAAP net income. For compensation purposes “free cash flow” means cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and “non-GAAP net income” and starts with net income and excludes amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, acquisition and divestiture costs, restructuring costs, and other non-GAAP adjustments. For more information on our non-GAAP measures used for compensation purposes and reconciliations to GAAP measures, see Appendix A.

The Compensation Committee has the discretion to adjust these measurements for extraordinary one-time events, or other items beyond management’s control, and to award cash incentives based on other criteria.

As a result of attaining a payout of 110.4% with respect to Performance Award Adjusted EBITDA, which is weighted at 45%, each NEO received approximately 49.7% as a percentage of the total target cash incentive opportunity. As a result of attaining a payout of 200.0% with respect to Performance Award Free Cash Flow Conversion, which is weighted at 30%, each NEO received approximately 60% as a percentage of the total target cash incentive opportunity.

For fiscal 2026, NEOs can earn up to 25% of the target cash incentive opportunity on achievement of individual goals and strategic objectives (i.e., the individual performance factor) that the Compensation Committee established for each. The Compensation Committee seeks to establish challenging, yet realistic, goals and objectives that will motivate performance and align with our strategic initiatives. These goals and objectives can include both qualitative and quantitative goals and objectives. At the end of the year, the Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of each of the NEOs against their respective goals and objectives and approves the related achievement and payout levels for each NEO.

If individual performance does not meet the applicable threshold, no individual performance factor will be earned. If individual performance is at or above the threshold, the cash incentive opportunity will be 50% of the 25% individual performance factor. If individual performance reaches or exceeds target, cash incentive opportunity will be 100% of the 25% individual performance factor.

Supplemental MIP Bonus Program

In August 2023, against the backdrop of losses incurred by the Company in connection with the cybersecurity attack in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 (the “Cyberattack”) and the resulting impact on bonus plan achievement, the Compensation Committee established a supplemental plan under the MIP to provide for the award to the NEOs of an additional cash bonus payment (the “Cyber Insurance Program”). Under the Cyber Insurance Program, each NEO will be eligible to receive an additional cash bonus payment in the event the Company accrues any insurance proceeds to reimburse the Company for the losses incurred in connection with the Cyberattack. Any cash bonus payments that become payable under the Cyber Insurance Program will be paid no later than 30 days after accrual of the reimbursements. The Cyber Insurance Program enables the NEOs to earn the portion of the cash bonus they would have received under the MIP for fiscal 2023 if the insurance proceeds for losses incurred in connection with the Cyberattack were accrued during fiscal 2023. The Cyber Insurance Program concluded in fiscal 2026. In fiscal 2026, a bonus payment totaling $12,715 in the aggregate was made to the NEOs (other than Conde and Smith) in connection with the recovery of $850,000 in insurance proceeds received in December 2025 to reimburse the Company for the Cyberattack loss amounts.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Long-Term Equity Incentives

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Equity awards are a significant component of our NEO compensation. The Compensation Committee annually grants equity awards, typically in the form of restricted stock awards and/or restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units or awards. We believe this element of our compensation program provides our NEOs with the opportunity to develop a significant ownership stake in the Company and directly aligns their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. In addition, equity awards serve as a retention vehicle for the NEOs because, if the applicable criteria are met, they typically vest over a set number of years and generally are forfeited if not vested upon termination of employment. We maintain a formal Equity Award Grant Policy, whereby equity awards to employees are made by, or with the oversight of, the Compensation Committee or the Board. Under the policy, the Compensation Committee must approve any equity awards to the NEOs, and our Principal Accounting Officer and People & Culture management oversee the documentation of, and accounting for, equity award grants.

The number of shares subject to equity awards granted by the Compensation Committee to NEOs in a given year is based on, among other things, overall Company performance, the number of shares available for awards under the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan or successor plan, the value of the proposed award, the amount and realizable value of equity awards awarded in prior years, total compensation and consideration of the competitive market practice for the respective position level and experience, with the ultimate objective of motivating, rewarding and retaining NEOs while maintaining efficient use of equity and preserving shareholder value. For fiscal 2026, the Compensation Committee determined the number of shares of a value-based restricted stock unit award by using the closing price of our stock on the grant date and the awards were granted under the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. In August 2025, the Compensation Committee amended the Equity Award Grant Policy such that it will determine the number of shares of a value-based restricted stock unit award by using the average closing price of our stock for the 10-day trading period ending on the grant date.

Under the Equity Award Grant Policy, the grant date for annual equity awards will be September 1, provided that the Company is in an open trading window, and otherwise on the first trading day of the next open trading window. The Equity Award Grant Policy also provides that special grants of equity awards may be made during the year in the case of the hiring or promotion of certain eligible persons, or in other situations not involving annual grants. The grant date for non-annual grants made pursuant to the Equity Award Grant Policy will generally be the third trading day following the Company’s filing of a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable.

Vesting of equity awards accelerates on a change in control followed by termination in certain instances or upon death, disability or termination due to retirement. In certain circumstances, the vesting term may be reduced due to termination of employment, death or disability of a participant.

FISCAL 2026 ANNUAL LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS

The annual grant of long-term equity incentives was awarded to our NEOs on September 1, 2025. In fiscal 2026, 50% of the long-term equity incentives awarded to our NEOs were in the form of time-based restricted stock units and the remaining 50% were in the form of performance-based restricted stock units. The time-based restricted stock units generally vest and become exercisable in one-fourth increments on the anniversary of the grant date over four years, subject to the continued employment of the NEO on the applicable vesting date. The performance-based restricted stock units generally vest upon the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the continued employment of the NEO on the applicable vesting date and achievement of the performance targets set by the Compensation Committee over the applicable performance period.

Fiscal 2026 Performance-Based Equity Awards Performance Metrics

As discussed above, the Compensation Committee grants certain employees, including our NEOs, performance-based restricted stock units that contain both performance and service vesting conditions over a multi-year period. Performance-based awards are conditioned on achievement of pre-established performance targets. New performance periods begin each fiscal year, and performance targets and the target awards for our NEOs are established shortly after the beginning of the applicable performance period.

For fiscal 2026, the performance-based restricted stock units granted will vest, if at all, based on two equally weighted performance metrics: (i) an earnings per share performance metric based on the achievement of annual targets for normalized non-GAAP earnings per share over a three-year performance period (the “Normalized EPS”) and (ii) a return on invested capital performance metric based on annual targets for adjusted return on invested capital over a three-year performance period (the “Performance Award Adjusted ROIC”), subject to adjustments for certain nonrecurring items as approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee considers Normalized EPS and Performance Award Adjusted ROIC to be key drivers of shareholder value and fundamental to long-term value creation. The Compensation Committee also believes that measuring our performance against multiple metrics provides a more complete picture of our performance.

The fiscal 2026 performance-based restricted stock units cliff vest, if at all, on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through the vesting date and achievement of the performance metrics. Achievement of the Normalized EPS and Performance Award Adjusted ROIC performance targets is determined over the three-year performance period. Half of the target performance-based restricted stock units that each NEO is awarded must achieve the Normalized EPS metrics (the “Normalized EPS PSUs”) and the other half must achieve the Performance Award Adjusted ROIC metrics (the “Adjusted ROIC PSUs”). The total sum of restricted stock units earned is capped at 200% of the aggregate target number of restricted stock units for the fiscal 2026 through fiscal 2028 performance period.

“Normalized EPS” means the Company’s aggregate earnings achieved for the period adjusted to eliminate the effect of share buybacks, corporate tax rates, and mergers and acquisitions and normalized based on a target tax rate divided by the weighted average diluted number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025.

For fiscal 2026, the performance period for the Adjusted ROIC PSUs is based on measuring performance annually from July 1, 2025 until June 30, 2028 (i.e., from the beginning of fiscal 2026 until the end of fiscal 2028).

The following table summarizes the performance metrics that must be attained annually for the fiscal 2026 Adjusted ROIC PSUs. If the performance targets are achieved at a level between the stated performance levels, vesting will be determined by linear interpolation.

“Performance Award Adjusted ROIC” means for Adjusted ROIC PSU award purposes, Performance Award Adjusted EBITDA divided by Performance Award Invested Capital. “Performance Award Adjusted EBITDA” means net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization expense and other non-GAAP adjustments. “Performance Award Invested Capital” means average equity plus average funded debt. Average funded debt includes continuing and discontinued operations and is calculated as the average daily amounts outstanding on short-term and long-term interest-bearing debt.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Fiscal 2024 Performance-Based Equity Awards

Certain of our NEOs were granted performance-based restricted stock units in fiscal 2024 which vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through the vesting date. Similar to the fiscal 2026 performance-based equity awards, vesting of the fiscal 2024 awards is subject to attainment of certain performance targets over the applicable performance periods and other terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee. The fiscal 2024 awards were subject to two equally weighted performance metrics: (i) Normalized EPS (subject to an rTSR Modifier) and (ii) Performance Award Adjusted ROIC. Baur, Jones, Smith and Conde earned 51.5% of their fiscal 2024 performance-based restricted stock units (including 52% of the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Normalized EPS target and 51% of the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance Award Adjusted ROIC target). Achievement of the performance targets for the fiscal 2024 awards was as follows:

Other Important Compensation Policies Affecting the Named Executive Officers

Compensation Recovery Policy

The Compensation Recovery Policy provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation “received” by current and former NEOs in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, regardless of fault or misconduct. If an NEO receives an award under our equity or cash incentive plans based on financial statements that subsequently are restated in a way that would decrease the amount of the award to which such NEO was entitled, then the NEO will be required to refund the Company the difference between what they received and what they should have received. In addition, this policy requires the recoupment of any compensation to the extent mandated by all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The Compensation Recovery Policy applies to compensation received on or after October 2, 2023. The Compensation Committee monitors laws, rules and regulations on compensation recovery policies and will amend this policy as required to comply with any new compensation recovery rules or regulations.

Stock Ownership Requirements

The Compensation Committee has adopted minimum ownership requirements for Company stock for the CEO. The ownership target for the CEO has been established as three times his annual base compensation. Our CEO is expected

\n

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

to utilize grants under equity compensation plans to maintain the levels of ownership required by the policy. The policy also incorporates an equity retention requirement by requiring him to retain 50% of the net shares resulting from the vesting or exercise of certain awards to obtain the required ownership under the policy.

As of June 30, 2026, our CEO was in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

Our NEOs and directors are prohibited from holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. All NEOs and directors are in compliance with this policy as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Our NEOs and directors are also prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions.

Perquisites

We provide only limited perquisites to our NEOs, including relocation cost reimbursements and the availability of a voluntary comprehensive physical examination for them and/or their spouse once every fiscal year. The physical examinations help ensure our NEOs’ continued health and ability to render services to the Company. The physicals are provided to encourage senior leaders of the Company to set an example for living positively and active healthy living.

Health and Insurance Plans

Our NEOs are entitled to participate in our health, vision, dental, paid time off, life, disability and employee stock purchase plans to the same degree that our other employees are entitled to participate. In addition, our NEOs participate in a company paid supplemental long-term disability plan and each receives company paid term life insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 (subject to underwriting) and $500,000 (subject to limited underwriting).

Deferred Compensation Plan

We maintain the Deferred Compensation Plan pursuant to which NEOs may defer a portion of their annual compensation. These deferrals are matched to the extent specified in each NEO’s employment agreement or letter, and such contributions vest over a five-year period. Participants invest their deferrals and Company matching contributions among various funds designated by the plan administrator (and currently may not be invested in our common stock). Participants become fully vested in any employer contributions as long as they are continuously employed until their death or total disability, they reach the date in which the sum of age and years of service equals or exceeds 65, or the occurrence of a change in control. We maintain the Deferred Compensation Plan to provide a competitive benefit and to facilitate adequate savings for retirement on a tax efficient basis for our NEOs.

Retirement Benefits

The NEOs are eligible to participate in our 401(k) Plan, which is a Company-wide, tax-qualified retirement plan. The intent of this plan is to provide all employees with a tax-advantaged savings opportunity for retirement. We sponsor this plan to help employees at all levels save and accumulate assets for use during their retirement. Eligible pay under this plan is capped at Internal Revenue Code annual limits. We provide a 50% matching contribution on the first 6% that an employee contributes. These Company contributions vest over a five-year period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Eligible employees may participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which is a Company-wide employee stock purchase plan. The intent of the ESPP is to assist our employees in acquiring stock ownership interests in the Company.

Employment Agreements and Employment Letters

We have determined that the Company’s and our shareholders’ interests are best served by entering into (i) an employment agreement with our CEO and (ii) employment letters with an accompanying severance plan with our other NEOs. Such agreements, letters and plans are the result of arm’s length negotiations between the Compensation Committee, the Company, the CEO and other NEOs, and all are approved by the Compensation Committee. We believe that these employment arrangements benefit us and our shareholders by permitting us to attract and retain NEOs with

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

demonstrated leadership abilities and to secure their services over an extended period of time. In addition, the employment arrangements align executive interests with the long-term interests of the Company and serve our recruitment and retention goals by providing NEOs with security based on the knowledge of how they will be compensated over the course of their employment, while at the same time providing the Company with significant protections regarding non-competition, non-solicitation of business and employees, and confidential business information.

On June 15, 2017, we entered into an employment agreement, effective July 1, 2017, with Mike Baur. Baur’s employment agreement provides for:

\n\n\n\n

■

a base salary of $1,100,000 per year;

\n\n\n\n

■

an annual target variable compensation opportunity of 150% of his base salary (with a maximum opportunity of 200% of target) based upon performance and the attainment of performance goals set by the Compensation Committee;

\n\n\n\n

■

consideration for inclusion in our annual equity grant program at a grant level opportunity of $6,000,000;

\n\n\n\n

■

the opportunity to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan by deferring up to 50% of base salary and/or up to 100% of annual variable compensation, with a match of 50% of deferred amounts to be made by the Company, up to a maximum of $200,000 per year; and

\n\n\n\n

■

automatic one-year renewals unless 180 days’ prior notice of non-renewal is given to the other party following the initial term.

In addition, we will make additional payments to Baur’s deferred compensation account to cover the cost of future premiums for “access only” continuation coverage under our medical and dental plan following termination of employment assuming Baur is enrolled in Medicare Parts A, B and D, obtains a Medicare supplemental policy until age 80, and pays the full cost for such coverage.

Under Baur’s employment agreement, variable cash incentive opportunities will continue to be based upon the performance and attainment of performance goals to be established annually by the Compensation Committee, subject to maximum amounts that may be earned. Baur’s annual equity award opportunity is subject to the Compensation Committee’s discretion and the terms of our equity plan and related equity award agreements.

Baur’s employment agreement also provides for severance payments to Baur upon certain events, as further described in the “Severance Plan” section below.

On November 16, 2020, we entered into an employment letter with Stephen Jones in connection with his appointment as our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective December 14, 2020. Under the employment letter, Jones is paid an annual base salary and eligible to participate in the variable cash compensation incentive program. He also receives other benefits, including relocation benefits, change-in-control payments as a participant in the Severance Plan described below, and is eligible for participation in our other long-term incentive programs and the Deferred Compensation Plan.

On February 9, 2023, we entered into an employment letter with Shana Smith in connection with her appointment as our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, effective February 21, 2023. Under the employment letter, Smith is paid an annual base salary and eligible to participate in the variable cash compensation incentive program. She receives other benefits, including relocation benefits, change-in-control payments as a participant in a Severance Plan described below, and is eligible for participation in our other long-term incentive programs and the Deferred Compensation Plan.

On March 6, 2026, we entered into an employment letter with Michael R. Webb in connection with his appointment as our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, effective March 16, 2026. Under the employment letter, Webb was paid an annual base salary and was eligible to participate in the variable cash compensation incentive program. He received other benefits, including a signing bonus, relocation benefits, change-in-control payments as a participant in a Severance Plan described below, and was eligible for participation in our other long-term incentive programs and the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

On June 29, 2022, we entered into an employment letter with Alexandre Conde in connection with his appointment as our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer, effective August 1, 2022. Under the employment letter, Conde is paid an annual base salary and eligible to participate in the variable cash compensation incentive program. He receives other benefits, including relocation benefits, change-in-control payments as a participant in a Severance Plan described below, and is eligible for participation in our other long-term incentive programs and the Deferred Compensation Plan.

On May 6, 2021, we entered into an employment letter with Rachel Hayden in connection with her appointment as our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, effective June 7, 2021. Under the employment letter, Hayden was paid an annual base salary and was eligible to participate in the variable cash compensation incentive program. She received other benefits, including relocation benefits, change-in-control payments as a participant in a Severance Plan described below, and was eligible for participation in our other long-term incentive programs and the Deferred Compensation Plan. We entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release with Hayden in June 2026 that superseded her rights under her employment letter and the Severance Plan.

See the “Employment Arrangements and Potential Payments upon Certain Events” section for more information on Baur’s, Jones’, Smith’s, Webb’s, Hayden’s and Conde’s employment arrangements that were in effect during fiscal 2026.

Severance Plan

We have established a severance plan to provide severance and other benefits to certain executives selected by the Compensation Committee to participate in the severance plan. The Company’s severance plan is uniform for the current executives selected by the Compensation Committee to participate at their respective levels. We refer to the Company severance plan as the “Severance Plan.”

The employment arrangements with our NEOs and the Severance Plan provide that, if the employment of any participant in the Severance Plan is terminated by the Company without cause, or if the executive resigns for good reason, we will be required to pay or provide the executive’s base salary earned through the date of termination. In addition, we will also be required to pay to the executive in such instances any other amounts or benefits the executive is eligible to receive under any Company plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement in accordance with their terms. In such instances, we will also be required to provide severance benefits to the executive, subject to the executive’s execution of a release, consisting of compensation equal to the average annual base salary and variable compensation earned by the executive, including any amounts earned but deferred, in the last three fiscal years completed prior to the termination (the “Average Compensation Amount”), multiplied by a severance multiple, less withholdings. In the case of Mike Baur, the severance multiple is equal to 2.5, in the case of Jones, Smith and Conde, the severance multiple is (and for Webb and Hayden was) 1.5, and in the case of any other executive participating in the Severance Plan, the severance multiple will be set forth in a participation agreement between the Company and such executive (a “Participation Agreement”), but such multiple may not exceed 2.5. In the event the termination occurs within 12 months after or prior to and in contemplation of certain change in control events, Baur would receive three times his Average Compensation Amount, Jones, Smith and Conde each would receive two times their respective Average Compensation Amount and, in the case of any other executive participating in the Severance Plan, such executive would receive their Average Compensation Amount multiplied by their change in control multiple, as set forth in a Participation Agreement. In addition, in the event that the executive’s employment is terminated by us without cause, or if the executive resigns for good reason, the executive would be entitled to receive a bonus equal to the pro-rata portion of the then current fiscal year annual variable compensation that otherwise would be payable to the executive based on actual performance. For a period of up to twenty-four months following the date of such a termination, the executives (other than Baur) shall be entitled to participate in our medical and dental plans, with the executive paying the full premium charged for such coverage subject to the terms of the employment agreement, the employment letter, and/or the Severance Plan, as applicable.

If the executive’s employment is terminated for cause or if the executive voluntarily terminates their employment during the term of the agreement, other than for good reason, we will only be obligated to provide any accrued amounts payable on the executive’s annual base salary or any other amounts not previously paid, but earned, by the executive through the date of termination, and benefits under other plans in accordance with their terms. If the executive dies, becomes disabled, or retires during the term of the employment agreement, the employment letter, and/or the

\n		\n\n\n $\"LOGO\"$ \n
2026 NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT		43
\n

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Severance Plan, as applicable, we will only be obligated to provide any accrued amounts payable on the executive’s annual base salary or any other amounts not previously paid, but earned, by the executive as of the date of termination, a bonus equal to the pro-rata portion of the then current fiscal year annual variable compensation that would otherwise be payable to the executive based on actual performance, and benefits under other plans in accordance with their terms.

If we do not renew the employment agreement, or we enter into a new employment agreement with the same or similar terms after the end of the employment period, and Baur remains an employee of the Company in any capacity, Baur’s employment will be on an at-will basis, and Baur generally will be eligible to receive the same severance benefits set forth in the employment agreement.

In addition, each employment agreement, employment letter, and/or Severance Plan, as applicable, requires the executive not to, during the term of their employment and for a period of two years following the termination of such executive’s employment: (a) compete with the Company; (b) solicit certain customers or suppliers and certain prospective customers or suppliers of the Company; or (c) solicit employees to leave the Company. Each of the employment agreement, the employment letter, and/or the Severance Plan, as applicable, also requires the executive not to use or disclose our confidential information or trade secrets during the term of their employment and for a period of five years thereafter or for so long as the trade secrets remain protected. In addition, the Company and each executive agree not to disparage each other during the term of employment or for a period of five years thereafter. If an executive breaches or threatens to breach such restrictions on conduct, we may immediately cease any severance benefits or refuse such payment and shall be entitled to recover from any such executive any amounts previously paid as a severance benefit.

Post-Termination Restrictions and Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that our NEOs should be provided with reasonable severance benefits in the event a NEO is terminated under certain circumstances. Severance benefits for NEOs reflect the fact that the NEO may not be able to find reasonably comparable employment within a reasonable period of time following termination. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that certain post-termination benefits such as change in control payments will allow the NEOs to focus their time on potential transactions that may be beneficial to the Company, rather than have concern for their own employment prospects following a change in control. Severance benefits are provided under our employment agreements, employment letters and/or the Severance Plan, as applicable.

Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreements

Our NEOs are obligated pursuant to their employment agreements, employment letters, and/or the Severance Plan, as applicable, not to compete with the Company for a period of two years following their termination of employment with the Company. These agreements also restrict the NEOs’ disclosure and use of confidential information to which they were exposed during their employment. In addition, the agreements provide for restrictions on the solicitation of suppliers, customers and employees of the Company for a period of twenty-four months following termination of employment.

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

In the event of a termination of employment by the Company other than for cause, death, disability, retirement, the expiration of the employment agreement (in the case of Mike Baur), or by a NEO for good reason, the NEO will be entitled to a severance payment, provided that the NEO is in, and remains in, compliance with the non-competition, confidentiality, non-solicitation and related covenants provided in their employment agreement or the Severance Plan. The amount of a severance payment varies based upon the NEO’s historic compensation amounts, up to two and a half times the CEO’s and one and one-half times the other NEO’s average annual base salary and variable compensation over the last three fiscal years prior to a termination. These potential payments are discussed in more detail under the caption “Employment Arrangements and Potential Payments Upon Certain Events” below.

Our NEOs’ employment agreements, employment letters, and/or the Severance Plan, as applicable, provide for severance in the event of certain termination in connection with a change of control. Such severance payments will be made only if a “double trigger” is met. That is, both a change in control and a termination of employment are required.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This is discussed in more detail under the caption “Employment Arrangements and Potential Payments Upon Certain Events” below. The Compensation Committee believes this benefit is required to offer competitive benefits to attract and retain highly qualified executives.

Additional Compensation Matters

Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies and Practices

We have assessed our compensation programs for all employees and have concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We believe that our compensation program reflects an appropriate mix of compensation elements and balances current and long-term performance objectives, cash and equity compensation, and risks and rewards. During fiscal 2026, the Board reviewed the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and all financial targets associated with performance-based compensation, and in addition, the Compensation Committee reviewed our compensation policies and practices for all employees, including our NEOs, particularly as they relate to risk management practices and risk-taking incentives. As part of its review, the Compensation Committee discussed with management the ways in which risk is effectively managed or mitigated as it relates to our compensation programs and policies.

Based on this review, the Compensation Committee believes that our compensation programs encourage behaviors that support sustainable value creation without encouraging excessive risk. The following features of our executive incentive compensation program illustrate this point:

\n\n\n\n

■

Our compensation program design provides a balanced mix of cash and equity and annual and long-term incentives that are designed to encourage strategies and actions that are in the Company’s and our shareholders’ long-term best interests. Equity awards such as service and performance-based restricted stock awards and restricted stock units reinforce our long-term performance perspective.

\n\n\n\n

■

Our performance goals and objectives generally reflect a mix of corporate and other performance measures designed to promote progress towards both our annual and longer-term goals.

\n\n\n\n

■

A significant component of each of our NEOs’ total direct compensation consists of long-term, equity-based incentive awards that are designed to encourage these NEOs to focus on sustained stock price appreciation.

\n\n\n\n

■

Equity awards typically have vesting schedules of three or four years and, in some cases, have performance-based vesting components as well; thus, NEOs typically will always have unvested awards that could decrease significantly in value if our business is not well-managed for the long term.

\n\n\n\n

■

Equity incentive awards are granted periodically, typically annually, during open window periods and under an established equity grant program.

\n\n\n\n

■

The Compensation Committee believes that our overall compensation of our NEOs is at reasonable and sustainable levels, as determined by a review of historical analysis and a review of our economic positions and prospects, as well as the compensation offered by comparable companies.

\n\n\n\n

■

The Compensation Committee retains discretion to reduce compensation based on corporate and individual performance and other factors.

\n\n\n\n

■

Equity awards are subject to annual limitations on the number of shares that may be awarded during any year. The typical Company compensation structure has a threshold and maximum for cash bonuses.

\n\n\n\n

■

The target levels under our annual cash bonus program are designed to be set at a level where achieving the target incentive compensation levels is not guaranteed and the achievement of such levels is rewarding to both the NEO and the shareholders.

\n\n\n\n

■

NEO base salaries are consistent with the NEOs’ responsibilities so that they are not motivated to take excessive risks to achieve a reasonable level of financial security.

\n\n\n\n

■

Our internal reporting system ensures a consistent and ongoing assessment of financial results used to determine payouts.

\n\n\n\n

■

Our stock ownership policy sets out a minimum level of Company share ownership for our CEO so that he has personal wealth tied to the long-term success of Company and is therefore aligned with shareholders and imposes an equity retention requirement to facilitate attaining such levels of ownership.

\n\n\n\n

■

We maintain a “compensation recovery policy,” which requires the reimbursement to the Company of any incentive compensation to executive and certain other officers, the payment of which was predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement, or otherwise is required under applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

\n\n\n\n

■

NEOs must obtain permission from the Legal Department before the purchase or sale of any shares, even during an open trading period.

Based on a combination of the above, we believe that (i) our NEOs and other employees are encouraged to manage the Company in a prudent manner because our compensation programs are aligned with our business strategy and risk profile, and (ii) our incentive programs are not designed to encourage our NEOs or other employees to take excessive risks or risks that are inconsistent with the Company’s and shareholders’ best interests. In addition, we have in place various controls and management processes that help mitigate the potential for incentive compensation plans to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Impact of Accounting and Tax Treatment of Compensation

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Under FASB ASC Topic 718, we are required to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the vesting period of the award. We record share-based compensation expenses on an ongoing basis according to FASB ASC Topic 718. The accounting impact of our compensation programs is one of many factors that the Compensation Committee considers in determining the structure and size of our executive compensation programs.

CODE SECTION 162(M)

Section 162(m) of the Code generally sets a limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation that we may deduct for federal income tax purposes in any given year with respect to the compensation of each of our NEOs. We consider the potential impact of the deduction limit under Section 162(m) when developing and implementing our executive compensation programs. We intend to design our executive compensation arrangements to be consistent with the interests of our shareholders. We believe that it is important to preserve flexibility in administering compensation programs to promote various corporate goals. Accordingly, we have not adopted a policy that all compensation must qualify as deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code, and some amounts paid under our compensation programs may not be deductible as the result of Section 162(m).

CODE SECTION 409A

We generally intend to design and administer our compensation arrangements to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.

CODE SECTION 280G

The Compensation Committee considers the potential tax implications of executive compensation arrangements, including the deductibility limitations and excise taxes associated with certain change-in-control payments under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Compensation Committee may approve arrangements that are not fully tax deductible when it determines that doing so is appropriate to attract and retain executive talent.

(1)	For fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, reflects amounts paid pursuant to the Cyber Insurance Program. For fiscal 2024, reflects an additional amount paid pursuant to the MIP.

\n\n\n

(2)

Reflects all time-based and performance-based restricted stock units granted during fiscal 2026 at the grant date fair value. The values in the column assume that the performance was achieved at target for purposes of valuing the performance-based restricted stock units. Assuming the maximum level of performance will be achieved instead of target for the fiscal 2026 awards, the grant date fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units is $6,044,346 for Baur, $1,539,317 for Jones, $805,910 for Smith, $450,337 for Hayden and $549,030 for Conde. The amounts shown in the table are the aggregate grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of all time-based and performance-based restricted stock units was calculated using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant.

\n\n\n

(3)

Reflects the value of cash incentives earned pursuant to our annual incentive plan. Hayden received a pro-rated cash incentive, which is reported in the “All Other Compensation” column. For fiscal 2026, the cash incentives were awarded in August 2026. For fiscal 2025, the cash incentives under that program were awarded in August 2025. For fiscal 2024, the cash incentives under that program were awarded in August 2024. See the discussion in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section herein.

\n\n\n

(4)	See the “All Other Compensation” table below for additional information.

\n\n\n

(5)

Pursuant to Webb’s employment letter, dated as of March 6, 2026, he received a $475,000 signing bonus. Webb received a pro rata share of the cash incentive awards payable under the MIP for fiscal 2026 based on his March 16, 2026 start date. On October 13, 2026, Webb’s employment with the Company ended.

\n\n\n

(6)

On June 8, 2026, Hayden’s role at the Company was eliminated and she forfeited all stock awards granted in fiscal 2025 and 2026 pursuant to the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan. At the time of her separation, we entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release with her which modified and superseded her employment letter and the Severance Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement and General Release and in consideration of Hayden’s tenure and contributions to the Company, we agreed to provide Hayden with (i) a cash separation payment of $950,859, (ii) a pro rata share of the cash incentive awards payable under the MIP for fiscal 2026 of $413,347, (iii) a COBRA payment of $45,000, (iv) outplacement services of $10,000 (collectively the “Separation Payment”) and (v) acceleration of vesting of unvested service-based equity awards under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan in the amount of 7,815 shares with a value realized on vesting of $376,292. Assuming the maximum level of performance were to have been achieved for the fiscal 2026 awards, the grant date fair value of her performance units would have been $450,337.

\n\n\n

(7)

Effective March 16, 2026, Conde transitioned from Senior Executive Vice President, Chief People Officer to Senior Executive Vice President, Strategy. At that time, he ceased serving as an executive officer of the Company, with no change to his compensation. Conde earned $999,758 of his total compensation while he was still an executive officer and the remaining $409,146 after he ceased being an executive officer.

(1)

The amounts shown represent the number of shares of our common stock that could be earned with respect to the performance-based restricted stock units granted in fiscal 2026. The number of performance-based restricted stock units that will become earned and vest, and the resulting number of shares of our common stock to be issued, will be determined as soon as administratively practicable after completion of the three-year performance period ending June 30, 2028, and the number of shares can range from 0% to a maximum of 200% of the target number. The performance-based restricted stock units are described in further detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Named Executive Officer Compensation in Fiscal 2026 — Long-Term Equity Incentives,” above.

\n\n\n

(2)

The grant date fair values of the restricted stock units and the performance units are based on the closing prices of our common stock on Nasdaq on September 1, 2025. These equity awards were part of an equity grant granted on September 1, 2025 and the performance metrics for the performance-based portion of these awards were set at that time. These performance-and service-based equity awards were computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Named Executive Officer Compensation in Fiscal 2026 — Long-Term Equity Incentives,” above.

\n\n\n

(3)	Webb joined the Company on March 16, 2026 and as a result the MIP payment that he received for fiscal 2026 was prorated to reflect his start date.

(5)	On June 8, 2026, Hayden’s role at the Company was eliminated.

The Deferred Compensation Plan permits our NEOs to elect to defer a portion of their base salary and incentive bonus, and to receive matching contributions from the Company on a portion of the deferred amounts. Mike Baur may defer up to 50% of his base compensation and 100% of his bonus, and we will provide a matching contribution of 50% of the amount deferred up to a calendar year limit of $200,000 in matching contributions. Each of Jones, Smith and Conde may defer up to 50% of their base salary and 100% of their bonus, and we will provide a matching contribution of 30% on the first 15% of compensation deferred.

Deferred amounts are credited to each participant’s account, which are invested in one or more investment alternatives chosen by each participant from a range of mutual fund offerings and other investments available under the plan. Each participant’s account is adjusted to reflect the investment performance of the selected investments. Benefits under the plan are payable in cash and generally will be paid in either a lump sum or in annual installments over a certain term upon retirement, death or other termination of employment, or upon a change in control of the Company, as elected in advance by the participant. A participant may also elect to receive some or all of the deferred amounts and related earnings pursuant to an in-service distribution, subject to a minimum five-year deferral.

Employment Arrangements and Potential Payments Upon Certain Events

EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON CERTAIN EVENTS

We have entered into an employment agreement with Mike Baur that was effective July 1, 2017 and employment letters with Stephen Jones, Shana Smith and Alexandre Conde effective December 14, 2020, February 21, 2023 and June 29, 2022, respectively. Baur, Jones, Smith and Conde also participate in the Severance Plan. Notwithstanding these employment arrangements, each of Baur, Jones, Smith and Conde has the right to voluntarily terminate their employment at any time. These employment arrangements set forth the general terms and conditions of the employment and provide for certain severance benefits upon the occurrence of certain events, which are stated as column headings in the tables below.

We had an employment letter with Michael Webb effective March 6, 2026, and Webb participated in the Severance Plan prior to his departure from the Company on October 13, 2026.

We had an employment letter with Rachel Hayden effective June 7, 2021, and Hayden participated in the Severance Plan prior to the termination of her role in June 2026.

The material elements of compensation of each NEO as contained in their employment arrangements are described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section herein. The following sets forth in tabular format the incremental compensation that would be payable to such NEO in the event of their termination of employment under various scenarios, which we refer to as termination events. In accordance with the SEC rules, the following discussion assumes:

\n\n\n\n

■

That the termination event in question occurred on June 30, 2026, the last day of fiscal 2026; and

\n\n\n\n

■

With respect to calculations based on our stock price, the reported closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2026, $52.09, was used.

The tables contained in this section do not include payments made to a NEO with respect to contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements to the extent they do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation, in favor of our NEOs and that are available generally to all salaried employees, such as our 401(k) plan. The actual amounts that would be paid upon a termination event can only be determined at the time of such NEO’s termination. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any compensation or benefits provided upon the termination events, any actual amounts paid or distributed may be higher or lower than reported below. Factors that could affect these amounts include the timing during the year of any such event and our stock price at such time.

An “involuntary termination” means a termination without Cause or a resignation for Good Reason and other than due to death or Disability. An involuntary termination that occurs twelve months prior to, or 12 months following, a Change in Control and is otherwise in contemplation of a Change in Control (as determined by the Board) is considered occurring in connection with such Change in Control for purposes of the severance benefits listed above.

\n\n\n

(6)	Reflects the cost of providing continued health and welfare benefits to the NEO as provided in the NEO’s employment arrangements.

Employment Arrangements and Potential Payments Upon Certain Events

Michael R. Webb

Michael Webb served as our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. On October 13, 2026, Webb’s employment with the Company ended.

Rachel A. Hayden

Rachel Hayden served as our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer. On June 8, 2026, Hayden was terminated without Cause when her role was eliminated. In connection with Hayden’s departure from the Company, we entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release pursuant to the Severance Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement and General Release and in consideration of Hayden’s tenure and contributions to the Company, we agreed to provide Hayden with (i) a cash separation payment of $950,859, (ii) a pro rata share of the cash incentive awards payable under the MIP for fiscal 2026 (the “Separation Payment”) and (iii) acceleration of vesting of unvested service-based equity awards under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan in the amount of 7,815 shares with a value realized on vesting of $376,292. Hayden’s receipt of the Separation Payment was conditioned on her continued compliance with the Separation Agreement and General Release, which included a general release of claims against us, as well as confidentiality, non-disparagement, non-competition, non-solicitation and other customary provisions.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE

Pursuant to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, we are required to disclose the median annual total compensation of all the Company’s employees, the total compensation of our CEO and the ratio of those two amounts. The pay ratio set forth below is a reasonable estimate and has been calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC rules and based on the methodology described below. The SEC rules for identifying median employees allow companies to use a variety of methodologies. As a result, the pay ratio reported by others may not be comparable to our reported pay ratio. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026:

\n\n\n\n

■

the total compensation for our median employee was $60,885;

\n\n\n\n

■

the annual total compensation of our CEO was $ 9,682,834; and

\n\n\n\n

■

based on the information above, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees is 159:1.

Employee population. As of June 30, 2026, the date we selected to identify our median employee, our employee population consisted of approximately 2,038 individuals, with 677 employees representing 33% of our total employee population, who are located outside the United States, primarily in Brazil, and 1,361 employees representing 67% of our total employee population, who are located in the United States.

Identification of Median. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, we reviewed the total cash earnings of all employees for the twelve-month period ending on June 30, 2026 (the “reported compensation”). In making this calculation, we annualized the reported compensation of all our employees who were hired during the period. While we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments to the reported compensation in identifying the median employee, we did convert the reported compensation of our non-United States employees to United States dollars using the applicable conversion rate as of June 30, 2026. Using this methodology, we determined that our median employee was a full-time, salaried employee located in the United States.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES RELATED TO THE GRANTS OF CERTAIN EQUITY AWARDS CLOSE IN TIME TO THE RELEASE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION

Our compensation program has not included awards of stock options, SARs, or similar option-like instruments as a component of our long-term incentive plan since 2021. We recognize that a release of information in close proximity to the approval or grant of an equity award could create the appearance of an effort to time the recipient’s equity award to the recipient’s benefit, even if no such benefit was intended. We, however, do not purposely accelerate or delay the public release of material information in consideration of a pending equity award.

We have a policy that applies to the grant of all equity awards, which requires management to advise the Compensation Committee and the Board whenever material non-public information is planned to be released to the public in close proximity to the approval or grant of an equity award and the Compensation Committee and the Board must consider that information in connection with their approval and the timing of the grant. We have not timed, and do not plan to time, the release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of any NEO or director compensation. All equity awards are made only during an open window for stock transactions under the Company’s insider trading compliance program as applicable to the participant, and all grants are automatically delayed if they are not made on a date occurring during an open window.

Total shareholder return (“TSR”) is calculated based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 on June 30, 2021. The selected peer group is the S&P 600 Technology Hardware & Equipment (Industry Group) Index, which is the peer group used by the Company for purposes of Item 201(e) of SEC Regulation S-K in the Annual Report.

\n\n\n

(5)

We have determined that Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important financial performance measure used to link CAP to our NEOs to Company performance for fiscal 2026. “Adjusted EBITDA” starts with net income and adds back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization or intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash share-based compensation expense and other non-GAAP adjustments. Please refer to page 30 in the Annual Report for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Most Important Financial Performance Measures

In accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules, the following table lists the financial performance measures that, in the Company’s assessment, represent the most important financial performance measures used to link CAP to our NEOs for fiscal 2026 to Company performance:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Most Important Financial Performance Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

FCF Conversion1

Return On Invested Capital

Earnings Per Share

\n\n\n

“FCF Conversion” is determined by dividing free cash flow by non-GAAP net income. For compensation purposes “free cash flow” means cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and “non-GAAP net income” starts with net income and excludes amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, acquisition and divestiture costs, restructuring costs, and other non-GAAP adjustments. For more information on our non-GAAP measures used for compensation purposes and reconciliations to GAAP measures, see Appendix A.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on the “Investors” page of our website, www.scansource.com, under the “Corporate Governance” tab. This report reviews the actions taken by the Audit Committee with regard to our financial reporting process during fiscal 2026 and particularly with regard to the audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 and for the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2026.

The Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent directors. None of the committee members is or has been an officer or employee of the Company or any of our subsidiaries at any time during the past three years or has any current business or any family relationship with the Company or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates.

Our management has the primary responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes and to select annually the firm to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the coming year.

The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to fulfill its oversight responsibilities under the Audit Committee’s charter. To carry out its responsibilities, the Audit Committee met 5 times during fiscal 2026.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report, including a discussion of the quality, rather than just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, who is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited consolidated financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, its judgments as to the quality, rather than just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the critical audit matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved the independent registered public accounting firm’s especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of services during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 by the independent registered public accounting firm that were unrelated to its audit of the consolidated financial statements referred to above and to its reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements during the fiscal year is compatible with maintaining its independence.

Additionally, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plan for its audit. The Audit Committee met with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its examination, its evaluation of our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report for filing with the SEC.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (collectively, the “reporting persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of their beneficial ownership of our common stock and reports of changes in their beneficial ownership of our common stock. Based solely on a review of such reports and written representations made by our executive officers and directors with respect to the completeness and timeliness of their filings, we believe that the reporting persons complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements on a timely basis during fiscal 2026.

The Board is not aware of any other matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly raised at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will have discretionary authority to vote the shares thereby represented in accordance with their best judgment.

Shareholder Proposals

Any shareholder proposal intended to be included in ScanSource’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be in writing and received by the Company not later than June 28, 2027. However, if the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is changed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the Annual Meeting, the deadline will instead be a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail the proxy materials for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Any such shareholder proposal must also comply with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, which lists the requirements for the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Shareholder proposals should be addressed to the attention of the Company’s Corporate Secretary at ScanSource, Inc., 6 Logue Court, Greenville, South Carolina 29615. Pursuant to the SEC rules, submitting a proposal will not guarantee that it will be included in the Company’s proxy materials.

Shareholders intending to nominate a candidate for director for election or to present a proposal (other than a nomination for the election of directors) at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be eligible and give us advance written notice in accordance with the Bylaws and Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act.

The Bylaws provide that such notice shall set forth in writing: (i) whether the shareholder is providing the notice at the request of a beneficial holder of shares, whether the shareholder, any such beneficial holder or any nominee has any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, or has received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from, any other person with respect to the investment by the shareholder or such beneficial holder in the Company or the matter the notice relates to, and the details thereof, including the name of such other person (the shareholder, any beneficial holder on whose behalf the notice is being delivered, any nominees listed in the notice and any persons with whom such agreement, arrangement or understanding exists or from whom such assistance has been obtained are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Interested Persons”), (ii) the name and address of all Interested Persons, (iii) a complete listing of the record and beneficial ownership positions (including number or amount) of all equity securities and debt instruments, whether held in the form of loans or capital market instruments, of the Company or any of its subsidiaries held by all Interested Persons, (iv) whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transaction is in place or has been entered into within the prior six months preceding the date of delivery of the notice by or for the benefit of any Interested Person with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities, debt instruments or credit ratings, the effect or intent of which transaction is to give rise to gain or loss as a result of changes in the trading price of such securities or debt instruments or changes in the credit ratings for the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities or debt instruments (or, more generally, changes in the perceived creditworthiness of the Company or its subsidiaries), or to increase or decrease the voting power of such Interested Person, and if so, a summary of the material terms thereof, and (v) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company that would be entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose the matter set forth in the notice. As used herein, “beneficially owned” has the meaning provided in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act. The notice shall be updated not later than 10 days after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting to provide any material changes in the foregoing information as of the record date.

The deadline for shareholders to provide written notice of their intent to make nominations for the election of directors or to bring a proposal (other than a nomination for the election of directors) at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (but not for inclusion in the proxy materials relating to such meeting) is no more than 120 days and no less than 90 days prior to the first anniversary date of the Annual Meeting; provided, however, that if (and only if) the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before such anniversary date and ends within 60 days after such anniversary date (an annual meeting date outside such period being referred to herein as an “Other Meeting Date”), the notice shall be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the close of business on (i) the date 90 days prior to such Other Meeting Date or (ii) the tenth day following the date such Other Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed. Assuming that the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is not advanced or delayed in the manner described above, the required notice for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders would need to be provided to us not earlier than August 10, 2027 and not later than September 9, 2027.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act and complies with all other requirements under Rule 14a-19, including the minimum solicitation

requirements. Because the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws require earlier notice than is required by Rule 14a-19, the deadline for shareholders to provide notice must be submitted in accordance with the deadlines set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph. The Bylaws require that any notice relating to the nomination of directors must also contain (i) the information regarding each nominee required by paragraphs (a), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC (or the corresponding provisions of any successor regulation), (ii) each nominee’s signed consent to serve as a director of the Company if elected, and (iii) whether each nominee is eligible for consideration as an independent director under the relevant standards contemplated by Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K (or the corresponding provisions of any successor regulation). The Company may also require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information, including completion of the Company’s director’s questionnaire, as it may reasonably require to determine whether the nominee would be considered “independent” as a director or as a member of the audit committee of the Board under the various rules and standards applicable to the Company. In addition to complying with the foregoing procedures, any shareholder recommending a director candidate must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, including the rules and regulations under such Act. In the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and either all of the nominees for director or the size of the increased Board of Directors is not publicly announced or disclosed by the Company at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice shall also be considered timely hereunder, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the first date all of such nominees or the size of the increased Board of Directors shall have been publicly announced or disclosed.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders that are properly brought before the Company. The proper procedures shareholders must follow to receive nominee consideration are outlined in this section. These nominees will be evaluated in the same manner as Board nominees as described in “Corporate Governance — Candidates for the Board” above.

For business proposals to be brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must give timely notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for shareholder action. The Bylaws require that any notice with respect to a matter other than the nomination of directors must contain: (i) the text of the proposal to be presented, including the text of any resolutions to be proposed for consideration by shareholders and (ii) a brief written statement of the reasons why such shareholder favors the proposal. To be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company must also set forth in writing, as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, any material interest of the shareholder or such beneficial owner in such matter.

Appendix A: Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. We use non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that we report may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
