Second Amendment to the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan
On April 3, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Oil-Dri Corporation of America (the “Company”) approved the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Oil-Dri Corporation of America 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), in which the Company’s executive officers and other senior managers are eligible to participate. The Second Amendment, among other things, (i) amends the definition of “Eligible Employee or Director” to better align with the Company’s current salary grade structure, (ii) amends the definition of “Separation from Service” to clarify the factors that qualify as a termination of employment for an employee reducing their level of services to the Company, and (iii) adjusts the process for crediting Earnings (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) from annually to at least quarterly. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
