On July 1, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Mativ Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from 6 to 7 members and appointed Bruce Hausmann to serve as a director of the Company, effective July 1, 2026, to fill the newly created vacancy. Mr. Hausmann was appointed as a Class I director, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Mr. Hausmann, age 56, has served as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: TILE), a global manufacturer of flooring solutions and leader in sustainability, since April 2017. At Interface, Mr. Hausmann leads the company’s global financial operations and is responsible for overall leadership of Interface’s finance, accounting, tax, treasury, risk management, financial reporting, and investor relations functions. Mr. Hausmann is a seasoned corporate and operational finance leader with over 25 years of experience across a range of industries — including Technology, Managed Services, Consumer Products, and Commercial Industrials — and with public, private equity, and venture-backed capital structures. Throughout his career, Mr. Hausmann has played an integral role in leading organizations through transformational mergers and acquisitions and other corporate finance transactions. Prior to joining Interface, Mr. Hausmann held senior financial leadership roles with Aramark Corporation and The Walt Disney Company.

In connection with his service on the Board, Mr. Hausmann will participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program on the same basis as the Company’s other non-employee directors. Compensation for the Company’s non-employee directors is described under “Compensation of Directors” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2026; provided, however, that on June 17, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved an increase in the annual stock-based retainer for non-employee directors to $150,000 following a review of market data with its independent compensation consultant. The Company will also enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Hausmann, the form of which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
