Awards granted under the Plan and the Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Plan (the “2004 Plan”) forfeited after December 4, 2015 will again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares subject to an award granted under the Plan or the 2004 Plan that after December 4, 2015 are delivered or withheld as payment for the withholding taxes due in connection with the award or as payment for the exercise price of a stock option or SAR will again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares issuable under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The Committee can grant awards under the Plan until February 9, 2026.
