Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 20, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Minerals Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) elected Dr. Kristina M. Johnson as a member of the
Board, effective May 13, 2024. A copy of the press release announcing Dr. Johnson’s election is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
As a new member of the Board, Dr. Johnson will be entitled to the same compensation provided to each of the current non-employee members of the Board. This
includes an annual retainer fee of $205,000, comprised of $80,000 paid in cash and $125,000 in phantom stock units which have the economic value of one share of the Company’s common stock. Under the Company’s Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Unit
Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), Dr. Johnson will have the right to defer her fee, which would then be credited to her account as phantom stock units. Dr. Johnson will also be eligible to receive additional
phantom stock units awarded pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan.
In addition, the Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with Dr. Johnson (the “Indemnification Agreement”) the terms of which are consistent
with those previously executed by each of the current members of the Board. The form of such Indemnification Agreement is more fully described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 8, 2009, which description is incorporated by
reference herein. Such description does not purport to be complete, however, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed
on May 8, 2009, and incorporated herein by reference.
The Board has not yet made a determination regarding any committee assignments for Dr. Johnson. There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr.
Johnson and any other persons pursuant to which Dr. Johnson was elected as a director. There are no current or proposed transactions in which the Company is a participant and for which disclosure is required with respect to Dr. Johnson under Item
404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
