Vote Required and Method of Counting Votes

The presence at the Annual Meeting – in person or by duly authorized proxy – of a majority of all the stock issued and outstanding and having voting power shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions are counted as shares present at the meeting.

Item 1: Election of Directors

In an uncontested director election, each director nominee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. A majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50 percent of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. Votes cast include votes “against,” but exclude “abstentions” and “broker nonvotes” with respect to that director’s election. Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws, an incumbent director that is not elected by a majority vote will tender his or her resignation subject to acceptance by the Board. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Proxies signed, dated and returned unmarked will be voted FOR all of the nominees.

Please note that brokers and custodians may not vote on the election of directors in the absence of specific client instruction. Those who hold shares in such accounts are encouraged to provide voting instructions to the broker or custodian.

If any nominee is unable to act as director because of an unexpected occurrence, the proxy holders may vote the proxies for another person or the Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors to be elected.

Item 2: Advisory Resolution to Approve Executive Compensation (“Say on Pay”)

Proxies signed, dated and returned unmarked will be voted FOR Item 2.

To be approved, Item 2 must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on this item at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the item. Broker nonvotes will not affect the outcome of the vote.

Item 3: Advisory Vote on the Ratification of Independent Auditors

Proxies signed, dated and returned unmarked will be voted FOR Item 3.

To be approved, Item 3 must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on this item at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the item.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR EACH OF THE NOMINEES.

BOARD GOVERNANCE

The Board of Directors has determined that the following persons served as independent directors in 2025 as defined by Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2): Pierre R. Breber, Dame Alison J. Carnwath, Kirk S. Hachigian, Brice A. Hill, Barbara B. Hulit, Roderick C. McGeary (retired 4/27/25), Cynthia A. Niekamp (retired 4/26/26), Luiz A. S. Pretti, Ganesh Ramaswamy, Mark A. Schulz and Gregory M. E. Spierkel (retired 4/27/25).

The Board of Directors maintains a corporate governance section on the Company’s website, which includes key information about its governance practices. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Board Committee Charters, Code of Business Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are located at www.paccar.com/about-us/board-of-directors. The Corporate Governance Guidelines prohibit the Company’s directors and executive officers from hedging or pledging their ownership of PACCAR stock. Employees, other than executive officers, are generally permitted to engage in transactions designed to hedge or offset market risk. The Company has adopted insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities by directors, officers and employees that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing standards. See Exhibit 19 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

The Company’s leadership structure includes an Executive Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer and an independent lead director who serves for a three-year term. M. A. Schulz currently serves as lead director and was reelected for 2026. This leadership structure, in which the roles of the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are separate, together with an experienced and engaged lead director and independent key committees, is appropriate for the Company because it effectively allocates authority, responsibility and oversight between management, the Executive Chairman and the independent members of the Board.

The Company has policies to ensure a strong and independent board. The Board regularly meets in executive session without management. The lead director presides over the executive sessions of the Board’s independent directors. Seventy-five percent of the Company’s twelve director nominees are independent as defined under Nasdaq rules.

The Board oversees risk through management presentations at Board meetings and through its Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees. The Audit Committee charter provides that the Committee shall discuss with management the Company’s risk exposures, including cybersecurity risk, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. As part of this process, the Committee receives periodic reports from the Company’s internal auditor, chief information security officer and general counsel and the Committee reports to the full Board at least four times a year. The Compensation Committee oversees risk arising from the Company’s compensation programs and annually reviews how those programs manage and mitigate risk. The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees potential environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and monitors legal developments and trends.

Stockholders may contact the Board of Directors by writing to: The Board of Directors, PACCAR Inc, 11th floor, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, WA 98009, or by e-mailing PACCAR.Board@paccar.com. The Corporate Secretary will receive, process and acknowledge receipt of all written stockholder communications. Suggestions or concerns involving accounting, internal controls or auditing matters will be directed to the Audit Committee chairman. Concerns regarding other matters will be directed to the individual director or committee named in the correspondence. If no identification is made, the matter will be directed to the Executive Committee of the Board.

The Board of Directors met four times during 2025. Each member attended at least 75 percent of the combined total of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board on which each served. All Company directors are expected to attend the annual stockholder meeting. Eleven directors attended the annual stockholder meeting in April 2025.

The Board has four standing committees. The members of each committee in 2025 are listed below with the chair of each committee listed first:

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has responsibility for the selection, evaluation and compensation of the independent auditors and approval of all services they provide. The Committee annually assesses the independent public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence, performance and whether there should be a rotation of the Company’s independent accounting firm. The Committee and its chairperson are involved in the selection of the audit firm’s lead engagement partner. The Committee reviews the Company’s annual and quarterly financial statements, monitors the integrity and effectiveness of the audit process and reviews the corporate compliance programs. It monitors the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting and oversees the internal audit function.

The Company has a rigorous and thorough cybersecurity protocol. The Company’s information security risk council updates the Audit Committee throughout the year and also prepares reports for the Board of Directors. Members of the Audit Committee have cybersecurity expertise.

The Audit Committee charter describes the Committee’s responsibilities. It is posted at www.paccar.com/about-us/board-of-directors/audit-committee-charter. All members of the Audit Committee meet the independence and financial literacy requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq rules. The Board of Directors designated all members of the Audit Committee as financial experts. The Committee met six times in 2025.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee has responsibility for reviewing and approving salaries and other compensation matters for executive officers. It administers the Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Senior Executive Yearly Incentive Compensation Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Committee establishes base salaries and annual and long-term performance goals for executive officers. It considers the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer when determining compensation for the executives that report to him. It also evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance annually in executive session. It approves the attainment of annual and long-term goals by the executive officers. The Committee does not grant stock options within four business days before or one business day after the release of a Form 10-Q, 10-K or 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information. The Committee grants stock options once per year on a predetermined date that occurs after the release of the Company’s financial results for the prior fiscal year and before the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K. This allows the market time to evaluate the information provided in the Company’s earnings press release and accompanying earnings call before the Committee grants the stock options.

The Committee has authority to employ a compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. The Company did not engage a compensation consultant in 2025.

The Compensation Committee charter describes the Committee’s responsibilities. It is posted at www.paccar.com/about-us/board-of-directors/compensation-committee-charter. All members of the Committee meet the director independence requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq rules and the “nonemployee director” requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Committee met five times in 2025.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for evaluating director candidates and selecting nominees for approval by the independent members of the Board of Directors. It also makes recommendations to the Board on corporate governance matters, including director compensation, and environmental and social matters.

The Committee has established written criteria for the selection of new directors, which are available at www.paccar.com/about-us/board-of-directors/guidelines-for-board-membership. The criteria state that a diversity of perspectives, skills and business experience relevant to the Company’s global operations should be represented on the Board. The Committee recognizes the importance of having a diversity of gender, heritage and backgrounds to ensure that a variety of opinions and perspectives are represented on the Board. Initial lists of director candidates include qualified racially/ethnically and gender diverse candidates. To be a qualified director candidate, a person must have achieved significant success in business, education or public service, must not have a conflict of interest and must be committed to representing the long-term interests of the stockholders. In addition, the candidate must have the following attributes:

The Committee considers the names of director candidates submitted by management and members of the Board of Directors. It also considers recommendations by stockholders submitted in writing to: Chair, Nominating and Governance Committee, PACCAR Inc, 11th Floor, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, WA 98009. Nominations by stockholders must include information set forth in the Company’s Bylaws. The Committee engages the services of a private search firm from time to time to assist in identifying and screening director candidates. The Committee evaluates qualified director candidates and selects nominees for approval by the members of the Board of Directors.

The Company’s Bylaws provide for proxy access by eligible stockholders. Stockholder nominations require compliance with Article III, Section 7 of the Bylaws.

The Nominating and Governance Committee charter describes the Committee’s responsibilities. It is posted at www.paccar.com/about-us/board-of-directors/nominating-and-governance-committee. All members of the Committee meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq rules. The Committee met four times in 2025.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee acts on routine Board matters when the Board is not in session. The Committee took action three times in 2025.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

The following table provides information on compensation for non-employee directors who served during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025:

Summary Compensation

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

In addition to the cash compensation described in footnote (a) in the previous table, on the first business day of the year, each non-employee director receives $175,000 in restricted stock or RSUs under the RSDC Plan. The number of restricted shares or RSUs is determined by dividing $175,000 by the closing price of a share of Company stock on the first business day of the year and rounding up to the nearest whole share. Non-employee directors newly elected during the calendar year receive a prorated award to reflect the number of calendar quarters the director will serve in the year of election. RSUs are credited to the director’s deferred stock unit account. Restricted shares or RSUs vest three years after the date of grant or upon retirement, death or disability. Restricted shares receive dividends and voting rights and RSUs receive dividend equivalents (treated as if reinvested at the closing price of Company stock on the dividend date) and have no voting rights.

Non-employee directors may also elect to defer all or a part of their cash retainer and fees to an income account or to a stock unit account under the RSDC Plan. The income account accrues interest at a rate equal to the simple combined average of the monthly Aa Industrial Bond yield averages for the immediately preceding quarter and is compounded quarterly. The stock unit account is credited with the number of shares of Company common stock that could have been purchased at the closing price on the date the cash compensation is payable. Stock units receive dividend equivalents (as described above) and have no voting rights.

Deferred accounts are paid out at or after retirement or termination in accordance with the director’s election. The stock unit account is distributed in shares of the Company’s common stock. The deferred stock units held by non-employee directors are reflected in footnote (b) to the Stock Ownership Table on page 5.

The Company provides transportation or reimburses non-employee directors for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their services. It also pays or reimburses directors for expenses incurred to participate in continuing education programs related to their service as a PACCAR director.

2025 Financial Results and Business Highlights:

Key Compensation and Governance Practices

The Company emphasizes pay for performance and equity-based incentive programs designed to compensate executives for generating outstanding performance for stockholders.

Compensation Program Objectives and Structure

PACCAR’s compensation programs are directed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, composed exclusively of independent directors. The programs are designed to attract and retain high-quality executives, link incentives to the Company’s performance and align the interests of management with those of stockholders. These programs offer compensation that is competitive with companies that operate in the same industries globally. PACCAR’s goal is to achieve superior performance measured against its industry peers. The Company has achieved 87 consecutive years of net income, paid annual dividends every year since 1941 and delivered a total stockholder return of 8 percent in 2025. PACCAR’s average annual total return to stockholders has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index over the last 5-, 10- and 20- year periods ended December 31, 2025. The compensation framework has these components:

Short-term performance compensation:

Long-term performance compensation:

The Committee believes that this combination of salary, cash incentives and equity-based compensation provides appropriate incentives for executives to deliver superior short- and long-term business performance and stockholder returns.

The Named Executive Officers and all U.S. salaried employees participate in the Company’s retirement programs. The Named Executive Officers also participate in the Company’s unfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan described on page 30, which provides a retirement benefit to those employees affected by the maximum benefit limitations permitted for qualified plans by the Internal Revenue Code and other qualified plan benefit limitations.

The Company does not provide any other significant perquisites or executive benefits to its Named Executive Officers.

Stockholder Approval for the Company’s Executive Compensation Programs (“Say on Pay”)

In 2025, stockholders voted on an advisory basis to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers with over 93 percent of the shares voting to approve the Company’s compensation practices. The Committee believes the stockholder vote affirms the Company’s conservative approach to executive compensation.

Executive Compensation Criteria

The Committee considers a number of important factors when reviewing and determining executive compensation, including job responsibilities, Company performance, business unit performance, individual performance and compensation for executives among peer organizations. The Committee also considers the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer when determining compensation for the executives that report to him.

Industry Compensation Comparison Groups. The Committee periodically utilizes information from published compensation surveys as well as compensation data from Peer Companies to determine if compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers is competitive with the market. The Committee believes that comparative compensation information should be used in its deliberations. It does not specify a “target” compensation level for any given executive but rather a range of target compensation. The Committee has discretion to determine the nature and extent to which it will use comparative compensation data.

Role of Compensation Consultants. The Committee typically retains a compensation consultant to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s compensation programs every two years. It did not employ a compensation consultant in 2025. The Committee adopted the current executive salary structure effective January 1, 2025.

Peer Companies. As part of its analysis of comparative data, the Committee includes compensation data from Peer Companies. In particular, the Company measures its financial performance against Peer Companies when evaluating achievement of the cash portion of the LTIP Company Performance Goal. The Committee reviews the composition of the Peer Companies annually to ensure the companies are appropriate for comparative purposes. The Peer Companies are listed below. The Peer Group Index is shown on page 42.

Elements of Total Compensation

The Company’s executive compensation program is comprised of base salaries, annual incentive cash and long-term incentives consisting of cash, stock options and restricted stock/RSUs.

Compensation Mix. The Company’s executive compensation program structure includes a balance of salary and annual and long-term incentives, including Company equity. For 2025, the Committee approved target allocations as displayed below for R. P. Feight, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the other Named Executive Officers. The Company believes these allocations promote its objectives of profitable growth and superior long-term results, which benefit stockholders.

Base Salary. Base salary provides a level of compensation that is competitive with industry Peer Companies to attract and retain high-caliber executives. The midpoints of the base salary ranges are set at approximately the market median of the 2024 Mercer report with the minimum salary at 70 percent of the midpoint and the maximum salary at 130 percent of the midpoint. An executive officer’s actual salary relative to this salary range reflects his or her responsibility, experience, tenure with the Company and individual performance.

The Committee reviews base salaries every 12 to 24 months and may or may not approve changes. Consistent with this practice, the Committee reviewed the salary of each Named Executive Officer in 2025. The Committee considered performance, the addition of new responsibilities and the midpoint of the base salary range. The Chief Executive Officer suggested salary revisions for the other Named Executive Officers. The Committee approved salary percentage increases in 2025 as follows: R. P. Feight, 4.5 percent; B. J. Poplawski, 13.3 percent; K. D. Baney, 9.1 percent; C. M. Dozier, 4.9 percent; D. C. Siver, 4.9 percent. The Committee believes these increases align the Named Executive Officers with the salaries of the median of the industry peer group reflecting current market trends and the responsibilities of the Named Executive Officers. The Committee believes that the base salary of each Named Executive Officer is appropriate based on scope of responsibility, experience, tenure with the Company, individual performance and competitive pay practices.

Annual Incentive Cash Compensation (“IC”). This program provides yearly cash incentives for the Named Executive Officers to achieve annual Company profit and business unit goals. Subject to the funding maximums established by the Committee that are described below under the heading “IC Funding Limit,” the Committee sets annual performance goals and a threshold, target and maximum award for each Named Executive Officer, expressed as a percentage of base salary. 2025 awards are measured on a sliding scale as follows:

A hallmark of the annual cash incentive program has been a consistent and rigorous focus on achieving the Company’s annual net income goal. The Committee has chosen net income, not EBITDA or operating profit, as the chief financial metric for this program because it is the primary indicator of corporate performance to stockholders. When setting incentive compensation goals for the Named Executive Officers, the Committee believes that corporate performance is an appropriate measure of individual performance. Accordingly, the majority of the 2025 annual incentive compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and a substantial portion of the annual incentive compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers is based upon Company net income performance. The net income goal is proposed by Company management and approved by the Board and the Committee before or within the first 90 days of each year. The target level represents an amount of net income that the Committee determines is attainable with excellent performance under expected economic conditions. The remaining goals for the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive Officers are based upon individual business unit or leadership criteria determined by the Committee for the Chief Executive Officer and by the Chief Executive Officer for the other Named Executive Officers. The Committee assesses annual goal achievement and approves awards for the Named Executive Officers.

For 2025, the Company’s IC net income target was $3.70 billion with a minimum threshold of $2.80 billion and a maximum threshold of $4.90 billion. The Committee approved the Company’s adjusted income of $2.85 billion, which excluded the $264.5 million after-tax charge related to civil litigation in Europe as well as the negative financial impact of direct tariffs. The Committee approved an overall payment for R. P. Feight of 62.7 percent of target, based on 71.8 percent achievement of the Company profit goal and 110 percent for his leadership in achieving the Company’s strategic initiatives in his role as Chief Executive Officer. The Committee approved an overall payment for B. J. Poplawski of 71.4 percent of target, including 71.8 percent achievement of the Company profit goal and 95 percent achievement for his leadership of Company growth initiatives. The Committee approved an overall payment for K. D. Baney of 66.6 percent of target, including 72 percent achievement of the business unit profit goals and 110 percent for his leadership of Company growth initiatives. The Committee approved an overall payment for C. M. Dozier of 70.6 percent of target, including 88.7 percent achievement of the business unit profit goals and 100 percent achievement for his leadership of Company growth initiatives. The Committee approved an overall payment for D. C. Siver of 62.5 percent of target, including 71.7 percent achievement of the business unit profit goals and 86.7 percent achievement for his leadership of Company initiatives. The Committee exercised discretion to reduce each Named Executive Officer’s maximum funding amount described below under the heading “IC Funding Limit” in determining payout as described above.

The following table outlines the 2025 goals and incentive awards for each of the current Named Executive Officers:

IC Funding Limit. IC awards for the Named Executive Officers are subject to the terms of the Senior Executive Yearly Incentive Compensation Plan (the “IC Plan”) approved by the stockholders. The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the IC Plan is $4,500,000. Pursuant to the IC Plan, the Committee established a yearly funding plan limit for 2025 IC awards equal to a percentage of the Company’s net income (the “Annual Pool”) and assigned a percentage of the Annual Pool to each Named Executive Officer. The 2025 funding limit equaled three percent of the Company’s net income and the corresponding maximum share of such pool for the current Chief Executive Officer and the next four most highly compensated executive officers was 43.3 percent, 22.5 percent, 12 percent, 12 percent and 10.2 percent, respectively. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) any award otherwise payable to the Named Executive Officers under each officer’s funding maximum based on the achievement of the IC Plan goals, an assessment of individual performance and other factors within the discretion of the Committee. The Committee exercised such discretion in determining the IC awards for 2025 performance.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation (“LTIP”). The Company’s long-term incentive program is based on a multi-year performance period and provides annual grants of stock options and cash incentive awards. The program also includes restricted stock/RSUs, which are awarded to certain executives based on the attainment of an annual performance goal and vest over three years. The LTIP aligns the interests of executives with those of stockholders to focus on long-term growth in stockholder value. The 2025 target for each element of the long-term compensation program for each Named Executive Officer is calculated as a percentage of base salary as indicated in the table below:

Long-term incentive compensation cash award. This program focuses on long-term growth in stockholder value by providing an incentive for superior Company performance that is measured against Peer Companies’ performance over a three-year period. Company performance is measured by the three-year change in net income, return on sales, return on capital and total shareholder return (weighted equally) as compared to the Peer Companies (“Company Performance Goal”). Named Executive Officers and all executive officers are eligible for a long-term incentive cash award based upon the three-year Company Performance Goal approved by the Committee with a new performance period beginning every calendar year.

Subject to the funding maximums established by the Committee that are described below under the heading “LTIP Funding Limit,” the Named Executive Officers’ goals for the 2025-2027 cycle are the following:

The Committee believes that the three-year change in net income, return on sales, return on capital and total shareholder return are excellent indicators of the Company’s performance against the Peer Companies. The target amount will be earned if the Company’s financial performance ranks above at least half of the Peer Companies. The maximum cash award amount will be earned if the Company’s financial performance ranks above all of the Peer Companies. No award will be earned if the Company’s financial performance ranks in the bottom 25 percent of the Peer Companies. The Company has used this rigorous comparison goal for over 15 years. During that period, the Company ranked above 50 percent of the Peer Companies in 13 of the last 15 years, demonstrating excellent performance against the Peer Companies and providing superior returns to stockholders.

The remaining portion of the award for the Chief Executive Officer and the Named Executive Officers is based upon individual business unit and leadership goals determined by the Committee for the Chief Executive Officer and by the Chief Executive Officer for the other Named Executive Officers, measured over a three-year performance cycle. The Committee assesses goal achievement for the prior three-year period in April following completion of the applicable cycle and approves awards for the Named Executive Officers at such time. Long-term incentive cash awards are measured on a sliding scale as indicated below:

In April 2025, the Committee determined cash awards for the three-year period ending December 31, 2024. For the 2022-2024 LTIP cycle, the Company ranked third among the eleven Peer Companies and the Committee approved a payout of 160 percent of target on the Company Performance Goal for each Named Executive Officer.

All Named Executive Officers in the 2022-2024 LTIP cycle had goals in addition to the Company Performance Goal. The award for R. P. Feight was based 30 percent on strategic goals focused on market share growth, parts sales and PACCAR’s emerging technologies strategy development. The Committee determined that R. P. Feight exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 148 percent of target. The award for H. C. Schippers was based 30 percent on business unit profit at DAF and Worldwide Financial Services and 20 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that H. C. Schippers met or exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 155.9 percent of target. The award for K. D. Baney was based 50 percent on business unit profit at Kenworth and 20 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that K. D. Baney met or exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 168 percent of target. The award for C. M. Dozier was based 25 percent on business unit profit at Kenworth, PACCAR Australia, Brasil and Mexico, and 25 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that C. M. Dozier exceeded the business unit goal and approved an overall payout of 147.5 percent of target. The award for D. C. Siver was based 25 percent on business unit profit at Peterbilt, PACCAR Parts and Dynacraft and 25 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that D. C. Siver met or exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 155 percent of target. The Committee exercised discretion to reduce each Named Executive Officer’s maximum funding amount described below under the heading “LTIP Funding Limit” in determining payout as described above. The long-term cash awards for the 2023-2025 LTIP cycle have not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement because peer group comparison data was not available.

LTIP Funding Limit. The maximum cash portion amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the LTIP program is $7,000,000. The LTIP awards for the Named Executive Officers are subject to the conditions of payment set forth in the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the LTIP, the Committee established a funding limit for the 2025-2027 LTIP performance cycle equal to one percent of the Company’s cumulative net income and the maximum share of such pool assigned to the current Chief Executive Officer and the next four most highly compensated executive officers was 55.8 percent, 16.7 percent, 9.7 percent, 9.7 percent and 8.1 percent, respectively. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) any award otherwise payable to the Named Executive Officers under each officer’s funding maximum based on the achievement of the LTIP goals, an assessment of individual performance and other factors within the discretion of the Committee.

Stock options. The Committee includes stock options in its compensation program because stock options link the interests of executives directly with stockholders’ interests through increased individual stock ownership. Stock options are granted by the Committee once each year on a predetermined date after the fourth-quarter earnings release and are not repriced, backdated or purchased by the Company. The number of options is determined by multiplying the executive’s base salary on the grant date by a target award percentage and dividing by the average closing price of the Company’s stock on the first five trading days of the year. The exercise price of stock options is the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Options become exercisable at the end of a three-year vesting period and expire ten years after the date of grant. A participant who elects to retire at age 62 with 15 years of service, but before age 65, has ten years from date of grant to exercise vested options and a prorated number of stock options which are not otherwise exercisable at the time of retirement will become immediately exercisable, and may thereafter be exercised by the participant at any time within ten years after the date of grant. A participant who retires at or after age 65 has the full term to exercise options and unvested options will continue to vest. Vesting may be accelerated in the event of a change in control.

The Committee granted stock options on February 3, 2025 in accordance with the target award percentages listed on page 20. All stock options granted in 2025 vest and become exercisable on January 1, 2028 and remain exercisable until February 3, 2035, unless the participant’s employment terminates earlier for reasons other than retirement or the participant is demoted to an ineligible position.

Annual restricted stock program. Performance-based restricted stock and RSUs are included in the program because they link the interests of executives directly with stockholders’ interests through increased individual stock ownership and add a performance goal that is tied to the success of the Company’s business. The Committee sets a Company performance goal and makes dollar-denominated restricted stock or RSU grants, subject to the achievement of the annual performance goal, on or before the first 90 days of the year. If the Committee determines that the annual performance goal was achieved, the number of restricted shares or RSUs is determined and settled by multiplying the executive’s base salary by the target award percentage and dividing by the average closing price of the Company’s stock on the first five trading days of the following year. The restricted stock or RSUs vest 25 percent on the first day of the month following the first anniversary of the grant and an additional 25 percent on each succeeding first of January. Unvested awards are forfeited upon termination unless termination is by reason of death, disability or retirement. All awards vest immediately upon a change in control. Each Named Executive Officer has the same rights as all other stockholders to vote the restricted shares and to receive cash dividends. Named Executive Officers may elect to receive RSUs instead of restricted stock on the above terms, except that RSUs do not have voting rights and receive dividend equivalents that are credited to a stock unit account.

The performance goal for 2025 was five percent after-tax return on revenue. The goal was determined based on the average return on revenues of heavy- and medium-duty truck manufacturers in Europe and North America. Return on revenue is defined as net income divided by total revenues.

On February 6, 2026, the Committee determined that the 2025 performance goal was achieved and approved the grant of restricted stock or RSUs consistent with the target award percentages listed on page 20. The restricted stock or RSUs granted on February 6, 2026 for 2025 performance are included in footnote (b) on page 27.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

The Committee applies the same compensation philosophy, policies and comparative data analysis to the Chief Executive Officer as it applies to the other Named Executive Officers. The Chief Executive Officer is the only officer with overall responsibility for all corporate functions and, as a result, has a greater percentage of his total compensation based on the overall financial performance of the Company. Under his leadership in 2025, the Company achieved $28.44 billion annual revenues and $2.38 billion net income.

Deferral of Annual and Long-Term Performance Awards

The Committee administers a Deferred Compensation Plan described on page 31, which allows eligible employees to defer cash incentive awards into an income account or a stock unit account. Both accounts are unfunded and unsecured. This program provides tax and retirement planning benefits to participants and market-based returns on amounts deferred. Certain deferrals are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Payouts from the income account are made in cash either in a lump sum or in a maximum of 15 annual installments in accordance with the executive’s payment election. Stock unit accounts are paid out in Company stock either in a one-time distribution or in a maximum of 15 annual installments in accordance with the executive’s payment election. Participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan is voluntary.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company’s executive officers are required to meet stock ownership guidelines that reflect alignment of senior executives’ long-term goals with that of the Company stockholders. The minimum number of shares of Company stock and deferred stock units expected to be held by each category of executive officer is as follows: the Chief Executive Officer — five times base salary; other Named Executive Officers — three times base salary; and other executive officers — one times base salary. Company executive officers have three years from the first January after the executive first holds the qualifying position to attain the stock ownership target.

The Committee reviews compliance with the guidelines each year. Executives who are not in compliance with the ownership threshold must retain all vested stock awards and at least 50 percent of after-tax shares acquired through the exercise of stock options until the applicable stock ownership threshold is met. As of January 1, 2026, all executive officers either had achieved the stock ownership threshold or were within the time allowed to meet it.

Effect of Post-Termination Events

The Company has no written employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer or with any Named Executive Officer. Executive compensation programs provide full benefits only if a Named Executive Officer remains with the Company until normal retirement at age 65. In general, upon a termination without cause, a Named Executive Officer retains vested benefits but receives no enhancements or severance. In a termination for cause, the executive forfeits all benefits except those provided under a qualified pension plan. Long-term cash incentives are prorated upon retirement at age 62, with 15 years of service, or death and are awarded at the maximum level upon a change in control. The annual restricted stock/RSU grants become fully vested at retirement, death or a change in control. The Company believes that the benefits described in this section help it attract and retain its executive officers by providing financial security in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. The fact that the Company provides these benefits does not materially affect other decisions that the Company makes regarding compensation. The Company maintains a separation pay plan for all U.S. salaried employees that provides a single payment of up to six months of base salary in the event of job elimination in a business restructuring or reduction in the workforce. The Named Executive Officers are eligible for the benefit on the same terms as any other eligible U.S. salaried employee.

Effect of Tax Treatment

While the Committee considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Committee believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to structure a program that is considered to be the most effective in attracting, motivating and retaining key executives.

Compensation Forfeiture

In the event the Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in misconduct detrimental to the Company, including fraudulent conduct which results in a material inaccuracy in the Company’s financial statements, the officer may be terminated for cause and all unpaid compensation forfeited. Cause is defined to include: an act of embezzlement, fraud or theft; the deliberate disregard of the rules of the Company or a subsidiary; any unauthorized disclosure of any secret or confidential information of the Company or a subsidiary; any conduct which constitutes unfair competition with the Company or a subsidiary; or inducing any customer of the Company or a subsidiary to breach any contracts with the Company or a subsidiary. The provisions do not allow for recoupment of base salary which has been previously paid.

The Company maintains an incentive compensation recovery policy in accordance with Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Rule 5608 that requires the Company to recover excess incentive compensation that was paid to an executive officer based in whole or in part on financial results that were subject to a restatement of the Company’s financial statements. Additionally, in the event the Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in fraud that has caused or substantially contributed to the restatement, the Board in its discretion may recover from the officer or former officer any or all incentive compensation based in whole or in part on the financial results that were subject to the restatement.

Conclusion

The Company’s compensation programs are designed and administered in a manner consistent with its conservative executive compensation philosophy and guiding principles. The programs emphasize the retention of key executives and appropriate rewards for excellent results. The Committee monitors these programs in recognition of the dynamic marketplace in which the Company competes for talent. The Company will continue to emphasize Pay for Performance and equity-based incentive programs that compensate executives for results that are consistent with generating outstanding performance for its stockholders.

Compensation Committee Report

The Committee reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis Section (“CD&A”) for 2025 with management. Based on the Committee’s review and its discussions with management, the Committee recommends to the Board of Directors that the CD&A be included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting and incorporated by reference into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
