(the "Company") held its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved theMSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan"). The 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, onDecember 1, 2022 , subject to shareholder approval. Upon shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting, the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan became effective as ofJanuary 25, 2023 (the "Effective Date"). The Company previously maintained theMSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan"). Upon effectiveness of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan was frozen and no new awards will be made under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan. All outstanding awards under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the agreements pursuant to which the awards were made.

If any shares subject to an award are forfeited, an award expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of shares, or an award is settled for cash (in whole or in part) or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the shares subject to such award, such shares shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, be added to the Share Authorization on a one-for-one basis. Awards under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan may be made to the Company's employees (including the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer and other named executive officers), non-executive directors or consultants in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other share-based awards, and performance cash, performance shares or performance units. The Compensation Committee of the Board may, in its sole discretion, grant other types of awards, which awards may be payable in cash, shares, other property or any combination thereof. The 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan imposes a limitation of$750,000 on the aggregate amount of equity and cash-based awards and other cash fees that may be made to a non-executive director for his or her services to the Company as a non-executive director during any single calendar year.
