[Address Withheld]

Dear Jeremy,

We are excited to have you join Modine as President of our Performance Technologies Segment, reporting to Neil Brinker, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Outlined below are the terms and conditions of your position with Modine. In developing this offer, our goal has been to provide you with an attractive and competitive compensation package as you undertake your new position with Modine on or about September 22, 2025 (the date you start hereinafter the “Employment Start Date”). Upon acceptance of this offer and commencement of work on the Employment Start Date, the following will apply to you:

1.Base Salary. Your starting base salary will be $500,000, less applicable taxes, deductions and withholdings. Your base salary will be reviewed annually.

2.Incentive Compensation. You are eligible to participate in Modine’s annual management incentive program. Bonus awards are based on attainment of specified corporate operating and financial goals. For Fiscal Year 2026 (for clarity, the fiscal year ending 3/31/2026), targeted annual management incentive opportunity is 60% of base annual salary, with upside potential to 250% of this target (effectively 150% of base salary) where eligibility for such bonus shall be based upon results and performance in FY26, with any payout earned being pro-rated by the number of months employed in FY26, rounded to the nearest full month. The terms and conditions of Modine’s annual management incentive program are subject to the discretion of the Human Capital & Compensation Committee (the Committee) and the Board.

3.Equity Awards. Your targeted annual long-term incentive (LTI) opportunity for fiscal year 2026 is 140% of base salary in the form of 20% Restricted Stock Units and 80% Performance Shares (“FY26 LTI Grant”). The terms and conditions of this FY26 LTI Grant will be subject to the Modine Manufacturing Company 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 ICP”), as applicable, and will be similar to the long-term incentive awards granted to other senior executive officers of the Company for FY26.  Your FY26 LTI Grant target will be pro-rated based on the number of months you are employed in FY26, rounded to the nearest full month.  Additionally, as compensation for certain equity compensation you are forfeiting by accepting this position with Modine, you shall also be granted awards under the 2020 ICP, as follows:  A total equity value of $850,000 in the form of 20% Restricted Stock Units and 80% Performance Shares (“Make Whole Award”).  The Make Whole Award shall contain the same terms and conditions as your FY26 LTI Grant. Commencing with the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2026, you will be eligible for annual equity or long-term incentive awards under the 2020 ICP or any subsequent or similar plan adopted by Modine. The terms and conditions of these grants (including, without limitation, the form of award(s), vesting schedule, performance objectives, restrictive provisions, etc.) will be on terms and conditions similar to the annual long-term incentive awards granted to other senior executive officers of the Company at the time of such grants. Following FY26, the actual grant date value and form of any equity awards during your employment with Modine shall be determined in the discretion of the Human Capital & Compensation Committee and the Board. All of such annual grants/vestings shall be subject to any applicable tax withholding or deductions.


Exhibit 10.1

4.Sign-on Bonus: The company will provide you with a sign-on bonus in the amount of $100,000 (subject to normal payroll and tax withholdings), payable within 14 days following your start date with Modine.
