Effective as of the Transition Date, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, Greg Lewis, age 50, will be named as Mr. Szlosek’s successor as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and will become an officer of the Company at that time.

Since October 2016, Lewis has served as Vice President, Enterprise Information Management, and overseen the elimination of 32 enterprise resource planning systems and put the Company on a path to drive significant savings over the next several years.

Prior to that, Mr. Lewis served as the Company’s Vice President, Business Analysis and Planning.

Before joining the Company, Mr. Lewis spent three years in the plastics industry at Tyco International (“Tyco”), where he was Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer for the A&E Products division and co-led that business’s divestiture. For five years prior to Tyco, Mr. Lewis held a number of finance leadership roles at The Stanley Works, including Finance Manager and Global FP&A Manager.
