Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of stock grants computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 718. The assumptions used to determine the value of the awards are discussed in
Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Represents the change in pension value between the end of fiscal 2022 and the end of fiscal 2023 under the Modine Manufacturing Company Director Emeritus Retirement Plan. The change in pension value is solely a result of the
change in the interest rate used to calculate the present value of the pension benefit under the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan because no benefits otherwise continue to accrue under that plan. The Company used discount rates of
5.2 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively, to calculate the present value of the pension benefit obligation at March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022.

Neil D. Brinker, President and Chief Executive Officer;
|
• |
Michael B. Lucareli, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer;
|
• |
Sylvia A. Stein, former Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer;
|
• |
Brian J. Agen, Vice President, Human Resources; and
|
• |
Eric S. McGinnis, President, Climate Solutions.
|
• |
Fiscal 2023 was a record year for the Company, with the highest sales and earnings in our history. Mr. Brinker has successfully focused the organization by simplifying and segmenting the business, strengthening our leadership
team and decentralizing operations. We transitioned to a two-segment structure in fiscal 2023: Performance Technologies and Climate Solutions.
|
• |
Fiscal 2023 net sales were $2.3 billion, a 12 percent increase from the prior year. Operating income of $150 million increased $31 million from the prior year, primarily driven by higher gross profit on higher sales volume.
|
• |
We reported a record-breaking adjusted EBITDA of $212 million, a 34 percent increase from the prior year, driven by strong earnings growth in both the Climate Solutions and Performance Technologies segments.
|
• |
The Company achieved $108 million of cash flow from operating activities and $57 million of free cash flow, which was a significant improvement over the prior year.
|
• |
The Climate Solutions segment had an outstanding year. Net sales increased 11 percent from the prior year, with sales increases across all product groups. Gross margin in
the Climate Solutions segment improved 380 basis points to 22.1 percent.
|
• |
The Climate Solutions segment converted an existing warehouse in Rockbridge, Virginia to a full-scale chiller manufacturing facility to support Data Center customers in North America, complete with state-of-the art end of line
testing capabilities. Bringing the chiller product to North America allows the Company to provide a complete system solution to our colocation data center customers, expand partnerships and broaden the scope of our capabilities.
|
• |
Performance Technologies segment net sales increased 12 percent from the prior year and gross margin improved 50 basis points to 12.6 percent.
|
• |
Performance Technologies made solid commercial progress with its EVantage™ brand of battery thermal management systems and electronic cooling packages, winning nine new production orders with an incremental increase of $80
million in peak revenue for these orders, for a total of over $140 million.
|
• |
Set CEO and CFO compensation at or near the median of Modine’s Compensation Peer Group and the median of a broad survey of manufacturing companies, weighted equally, and compensation for the other NEOs at or near the median of a

|
• |
A median compensation positioning strategy that targets total pay as well as each element of compensation at the median of the market, and allows actual compensation to vary from the median based on higher or lower performance,
i.e., above median for above-market performance and below median for below-market performance;
|
• |
A significant portion of compensation tied to performance, including short-term and long-term incentives tied to strong financial/operational performance;
|
• |
Use of performance measures for incentives that balance strong growth and returns and provide a direct link to shareholder value over time;
|
• |
A significant weighting on long-term incentives, particularly performance stock or cash; and
|
• |
Share ownership guidelines (described on pages 30-31), requiring that executives be meaningfully invested in the Company’s stock, and therefore be personally invested in the Company’s performance.
|
• |

Compensation levels of the Company’s CEO and CFO; and
|
• |
Company’s compensation practices.
|
• |
Compensation is a primary factor in attracting and retaining employees, and the Company can only achieve its goals if it attracts and retains qualified and highly skilled people;
|
• |
All elements of executive compensation, including base salary, targeted annual incentives (cash-based), and targeted long-term incentives (both equity- and cash-based), are set to levels that the HCC Committee believes ensure
that executives are fairly, but not excessively, compensated;
|
• |
Strong financial and operational performance is expected, and shareholder value must be preserved and enhanced over time;
|
• |
Compensation must be linked to the interests of shareholders and the most effective means of ensuring this linkage is by granting equity incentives such as stock awards, stock options and performance stock or cash awards;
|
• |
The Company continued to use 80/20 principles in fiscal 2023 to reduce complexity, improve pricing discipline and improve segment profitability. The fiscal 2023 MIP was designed to develop segment-specific incentive plans, and a
corporate-wide plan for the Company’s corporate functional employees; and
|
• |
The executive compensation program should reflect the economic condition of the Company, as well as Company performance relative to the Performance Peer Group companies, so that in a year in which the Company underperforms, the
compensation of the executive officers should be lower than in years when the Company is achieving or exceeding its objectives.

The options vest in four equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant, except options awarded in fiscal 2023 vest in three annual installments.
|
(2) |
All of these shares are restricted stock unit awards. Other than Mid-Year Retention Grants and Transition Retention Grants, all restricted stock units granted prior to fiscal 2023 vest in four equal annual installments
commencing one year after the date of grant, and awards granted in fiscal 2023 vest in three annual installments. The market value of the awards was determined by multiplying the number of restricted stock units by $23.05, the
closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on March 31, 2023 (the last trading day of fiscal 2023). The Mid-Year Retention Grants vest in full on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant but only if the
performance conditions are met and the Transition Retention Grants vest in full on the second anniversary of the date of grant. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Equity Incentives –
Long-Term Incentive Compensation for a description of retention restricted stock unit awards.

The Company used the following assumptions to determine the present value of accumulated benefit as set forth in the table above: discount rate of 5.2 percent; Mortality: use of Pri-2012 (70 percent Blue Collar/30 percent White
Collar Blend) table projected generationally using scale MP-2021 converging to the 2022 Proxy SSA ultimate improvement factors over 10 years for age and 20 year for cohort (post - retirement decrement only); service up to March 31,
2006 and pay up to December 31, 2007 (the plan froze service accumulation on March 31, 2006 and pay changes on December 31, 2007); employees elect to begin payments as soon as they are eligible to receive unreduced benefits; 80
percent of employees elect lump sums from the qualified plan and 20 percent elect annuities.

Amounts represent the vesting of Retention Restricted Awards and certain performance cash awards and the spread value of the stock options at the closing stock price of $23.05 on March 31, 2023 (the last trading day of fiscal
2023). In addition, a prorated portion of the performance cash awards (based on the period worked during each performance period as of March 31, 2023) is illustrated in the events of a change in control termination of employment
or termination of employment due to death or permanent disability. In the event of a change in control termination of employment, the pro rata vesting of performance cash awards is illustrated at the Target level of performance
for all awards. In the case of death or permanent disability, the pro rata vesting of performance cash awards is illustrated at actual performance of 86% of Target for fiscal 2021 awards, 120% of Target for fiscal 2022 awards,
and 190% of Target for fiscal 2023 awards (the current projected achievement).

■ |
CAP to our PEOs (i.e., CEOs) and average NEOs has generally tracked with our TSR performance – CAP has declined in years where TSR has declined, and CAP has increased in years of positive TSR. This alignment reflects the
design choices of our compensation program that include a mix of equity incentives and cash incentives tied to key financial performance indicators, which then translate in our market performance. Additionally, CAP values
reflect changes in the value of executives’ outstanding equity holdings that fluctuate with changes in our stock price.
|
■ |
CAP has also generally tracked with our Adjusted EBITDA, moving directionally together year-over-year. This is influenced by the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure in our incentive program, and the measure being
a key performance measure influencing the value of our stock. Conversely, CAP has not moved in alignment with Net Income due to the measure’s significant fluctuations as a result of accounting requirements.
|
■ |
Modine’s TSR has significantly outperformed the Pay versus Performance comparator group, the S&P 600 Industrials Index, over the 3-year period and in the latest year.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING
Why are you holding a virtual meeting instead of a physical meeting?
In light of significant improvements in technology and changes in applicable law in recent years, we have again determined to hold an entirely virtual meeting. We believe that hosting a virtual meeting will enable more of
our shareholders to attend and participate in the meeting.
Why did I receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials this year?
In order to be efficient with the Company’s resources, and in keeping with our commitment to sustainable practices, we have chosen to taken advantage of SEC rules that allow us to make our proxy statement and other Annual
Meeting materials available to you on the Internet.
How can I access the proxy statement and other Annual Meeting Materials on the Internet?
On or about July 7, 2023, we began mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our shareholders, advising them that this proxy statement and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2023, along with voting instructions, may be accessed over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. You may access these materials and vote your shares over the Internet, or request that a printed copy of the
materials be sent to you.
How do I receive a copy of the printed proxy statement and Annual Meeting materials?
If you want to receive a paper or e-mail copy of these materials, you must make the request over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, by calling toll free 1-800-579-1639, or by sending an e-mail to sendmaterial@proxyvote.com.
There is no charge to you for requesting a paper or e-mail copy. If you would like to receive a paper or e-mail copy of the Annual Meeting materials, please make your request on or before August
3, 2023, in order to facilitate timely delivery. If you previously elected to receive our proxy materials electronically, these materials will continue to be sent via e-mail unless you change your election.
How may I access the virtual Annual Meeting?
You may access the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOD2023 where you will be able to attend and participate online, vote your shares electronically, and submit questions prior to and during the
meeting.
How do I ask questions during the Annual Meeting?
You may submit questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOD2023, where you will enter the 16-digit control number found on
the proxy card or voter instruction form provided to you with
|
this proxy statement. Shareholders who do not have a 16-digit control number should contact their bank or broker to obtain one.
Shareholders are able to submit questions for the Annual Meeting’s question and answer session during the meeting through www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOD2023. Shareholders who have been provided or obtained a 16-digit control number may submit a question during the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOD2023 after logging in
with that control number.
Shareholder questions must be pertinent to matters properly before the meeting. The Annual Meeting is not to be used as a forum to present views that are not directly related to the business
before the Annual Meeting. Recording of the Annual Meeting is prohibited. A webcast playback will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOD2023 24 hours after the completion
of the meeting.
Any additional information regarding the rules and procedures for participating in the Annual Meeting will be available during the meeting on the meeting website. We encourage you to access the
Annual Meeting before it begins. Online check-in will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOD2023 approximately 15 minutes before the Annual Meeting starts on August 17,
2023. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual Annual Meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting login page.
Who may vote?
You may vote your shares of common stock if our records show that you owned the shares at the close of business on June 23, 2023, the record date for the Annual Meeting. A total of 52,218,756 shares of common stock were
outstanding as of the record date and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock you own.
How do I vote?
You may vote your shares electronically via the Internet, electronically at the Annual Meeting, by telephone or by a properly appointed proxy.
Registered Holders
Registered holders may vote prior to the Annual Meeting (i) by completing and mailing the proxy card, or (ii) electronically via the Internet, or (iii) by calling Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Specific instructions
for each voting option are set forth on the Notice or the proxy card. You may also vote electronically at the Annual Meeting.
The Internet and telephone voting procedures on the Notice or the proxy card to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting are for your convenience and reduce costs for Modine. The procedures are designed to authenticate
your identity, allow you to give voting instructions and confirm that those instructions have been recorded properly.
|
Street Name Holders
If your shares are registered in the name of a bank or brokerage firm, you may be eligible to vote your shares electronically via the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm is participating in the
Broadridge Investor Communication Services’ program, your voting form will provide you with instructions.
401(k) Retirement Plan Participants
If you are a participant in one of Modine’s 401(k) Retirement Plans, you will receive a proxy on which you may indicate your voting instructions for the shares held in your plan account. The trustee for the plan, Equiniti
Trust Company, will vote your shares as you direct. If a proxy is not returned for shares held in a plan, the trustee generally will vote those shares in the same proportion that all shares in the plan for which voting
instructions have been received are voted, although it may do otherwise in its discretion.
May I vote during the Annual Meeting?
Although we encourage you to vote via the Internet, complete and return the proxy card or vote by telephone prior to the Annual Meeting to ensure that your vote is counted, you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote your
shares electronically at the Annual Meeting.
What does the Board of Directors recommend?
The Board of Directors’ recommendation is included with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:
“FOR” election of each of the Company-nominated directors for terms expiring in 2026 (see Item 1); and
“FOR” approval of the Company’s NEO compensation (see Item 2);
For “EVERY YEAR” as to the frequency of the shareholder advisory vote on the Company’s NEO compensation (see Item 3); and
“FOR” ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (see Item 4).
Unless you give other instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote “FOR” Items 1, 2, 3 and 4.
What if other matters come up at the Annual Meeting?
To our knowledge, the matters described in this proxy statement are the only matters that will be subject to a vote at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented, the persons appointed as proxies will vote
your shares on those other matters in accordance with their best judgment.
|
May I change my vote after I appoint a proxy?
Yes, you may change your vote by revoking your proxy. You may revoke your proxy by:
• submitting a new proxy;
• giving written notice before the Annual Meeting to the Company’s Secretary stating that you are revoking your previous proxy;
• revoking your proxy in the same manner you initially submitted it – by mail, Internet, or the telephone; or
• virtually attending the Annual Meeting and voting your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting.
If you decide to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting, we prefer that you first revoke your prior proxy in the same way you initially submitted it – that is, by mail, Internet or the telephone. The presence
at the Annual Meeting of a shareholder who has made an effective proxy appointment does not, by itself, constitute a revocation of a proxy appointment.
How are votes counted?
A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
Voting on the Election of Directors (Item 1)
Directors in an uncontested election are elected by a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote in the election at a shareholder meeting at which a quorum is present.
Because abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will not have an effect on the vote.
Advisory Vote on NEO Compensation (Item 2)
Approval of the advisory resolution on the Company’s NEO compensation policies and procedures for its NEOs requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, provided a quorum is present. Because abstentions and
broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will not have an effect on the vote.
Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Shareholder Advisory Vote on the Company’s Execution Compensation (Item 3)
Approval of the advisory resolution on the frequency of shareholder advisory vote on the Company’s executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, provided a quorum is present. Because
abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will not have an effect on the vote.
|
Voting on the Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Item 4)
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, provided a quorum is present. Because abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will not have an effect on
the vote.
Who will count the votes?
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., an independent tabulator, will count the votes under the supervision of the Inspectors of Election appointed by the Board of Directors.
Shareholder Proposals for 2024 Annual Meeting
Shareholder proposals for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company must be received no later than March 9, 2024 at the Company’s principal executive office, Modine Manufacturing Company, 1500 DeKoven Avenue,
Racine, Wisconsin 53403-2552, directed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary, in order to be considered for inclusion in next year’s Annual Meeting proxy material under the proxy rules of the SEC. Written notice of
shareholder proposals and director nominations for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company that are not intended to be considered for inclusion in next year’s annual meeting proxy material (shareholder proposals
submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8) must be received no earlier than April 19, 2024 and no later than May 19, 2024 at such offices, directed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary, and must be submitted in
accordance with the requirements of the Bylaws of the Company.
In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director
nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that complies with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act by June 18, 2024.
|
Who pays for this proxy solicitation?
Modine pays for the proxy solicitation. Directors, officers and employees of Modine, who will receive no additional compensation for their services, may solicit proxies in person or by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission
or other means. Brokers, banks, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to solicit beneficial owners of shares and will be reimbursed for their expenses.
How may I help reduce mailing costs?
Eligible shareholders who have more than one account in their name or the same address as other shareholders may authorize us to discontinue mailings of multiple annual reports and proxy statements. Most shareholders can
also view future annual reports and proxy statements on the Internet rather than receiving paper copies in the mail. See the next two questions and answers and your proxy card for more information.
What happens if multiple shareholders share the same address?
We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” so we are sending only one Notice to shareholders with the same last name at a single address, unless we have received instructions to do otherwise. Householding reduces our
printing and postage costs. If a shareholder of record wishes to receive a separate copy of a proxy statement or annual report in the future, he or she may tell us so by providing written notice to the Company’s Secretary,
Modine Manufacturing Company, 1500 DeKoven Avenue, Racine, WI 53403-2552, or oral notice by calling 262-636-1517. Upon written or oral request, the Company will promptly send a copy of either document.
Shareholders of record sharing the same address and receiving multiple copies of the Notice may request householding by contacting us in the same manner. If you own your shares in street name, you may request householding by
contacting the entity in whose name the shares are held.
