Role | Responsibilities | Description | |||
Compensation Committee | Oversees Programs and Decisions | Our Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee Charter that governs the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things: •reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for the CEO, evaluating the CEO’s performance and approving the CEO’s compensation based on such evaluation; and •determining compensation for the Company’s other executive officers. In reviewing and determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee generally considers: compensation levels at peer companies and information derived from compensation surveys provided by outside consultants, as further described below; the Company’s past-year performance and growth; the results of any Say-on-Pay votes by shareholders; achievement of specific pre-established financial goals; a subjective determination of the executives’ past performance and expected future contributions to the Company; past equity awards granted to such executives; and the recommendation of the CEO. | |||
Shareholders | Provide Feedback | The Compensation Committee evaluates the most recent advisory vote of the Company's shareholders on executive compensation, known as the "Say-on- Pay" vote, as well as other feedback that it may receive from the Company's largest shareholders in connection with this vote. Our Say-on-Pay results consistently reflect strong support for the linkage between pay and performance in our compensation programs. Over the past three years our Say- on-Pay results have been above 95%. | |||
2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |||
Say on Pay Results | 98.5% | 95.5% | 96.5% | ||
The Compensation Committee believes these voting results demonstrate significant continuing support for our executive compensation program. We seek input from our shareholders and conduct shareholder engagement efforts throughout the year. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the views of our shareholders in connection with executive pay practices and programs and will make adjustments based on evolving best practices and changing regulatory or other requirements. | |||||
Independent Compensation Consultant | Advises Compensation Committee | In 2024, the Compensation Committee used WTW to serve as the independent compensation consultant. The information from WTW regarding pay practices at peer companies is used by the Compensation Committee as a resource in its deliberations regarding executive compensation and will be useful in determining the marketplace competitiveness as well as reasonableness and appropriateness of our executive compensation programs. | |||
Executive Officers | Provide Input and Insights | The Compensation Committee considers input from our CEO, CFO, and Chief People Officer when determining performance metrics and objectives for our STI and LTI plans and evaluating performance against such metrics and objectives. Our CEO and Chief People Officer then evaluate the individual performance and the competitive pay positioning of senior management members who report directly to the CEO, including the NEOs, and then make recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the target compensation for such NEOs and other executive officers of the Company. |

Q: | Who can attend the 2025 Annual Meeting? | ||
A: | Shareholders of record as of the Record Date (March 21, 2025), beneficial owners with control numbers or legal proxies obtained from the shareholders of record as of the Record Date, and guests may attend the 2025 Annual Meeting virtually. See the Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting for additional information on how to gain access to the 2025 Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are a “registered holder,” which means you are the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held by a bank or broker, the bank or broker is the shareholder of record. You are the “beneficial owner” (and hold your shares in “street name”) and the bank or broker is your “nominee.” If you hold shares as a participant in the (1) APi Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), (2) APi Group 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan, (3) APi Group Safe Harbor 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan, and/or (4) the Vipond Inc. Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan (collectively, “employee benefit plans”), the plan trustee of the applicable plan is the shareholder of record and your nominee. | ||
Q: | Who may vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting? | ||
A: | You are receiving this proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction form and our annual report to shareholders because you own shares of common stock or shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) of APi Group Corporation that entitle you to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting. If you are a participant in an employee benefit plan, you may vote in advance of the 2025 Annual Meeting (as described below under “How do I Vote?”) and, if you do, your vote will be counted at that meeting; however, except as otherwise described below, you will not be able to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting. With that exception, anyone owning shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on the Record Date may vote electronically at the 2025 Annual Meeting. You may cast at or prior to the 2025 Annual Meeting (1) one vote for each share of common stock held by you on the Record Date and (2) one vote for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by you on the Record Date, on all items of business presented in this proxy statement and at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class. As of the close of business on the Record Date, we had (a) 276,220,967 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and (b) 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per share. | ||

Q: | How do I vote? (Continued) | ||
A: | Participants in the employee benefit plans: •Shares Held in Your Account under the ESOP. If you are a participant or beneficiary with an account in the ESOP, you are entitled to direct the ESOP’s trustee as to how any shares that have been allocated to your ESOP account and that remained in your ESOP account as of the Record Date should be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting. •Shares Held in Your Account under the APi Group 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan, the APi Group Safe Harbor 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan or the Vipond Inc.

If you are a participant or beneficiary with an account in one or more of (1) the APi Group 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan, (2) the APi Group Safe Harbor 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan and/or (3) the Vipond Inc. Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan, you will be permitted to direct the applicable plan trustee(s) or other intermediary as to how any shares held in your plan account as of the Record Date should be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting. You have the right to direct your nominee(s) or other intermediary on how to vote your shares by following the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction form forwarded to you by your nominee(s), which generally provides three ways to vote: •Via the Internet.

Q. | How can I attend the 2025 Annual Meeting? | ||
A. | The 2025 Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual-only format via live webcast. No physical meeting will be held. To access the 2025 Annual Meeting, please visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ APG2025. You may begin logging into the 2025 Annual Meeting on the day of the meeting at 8:15 a.m., Central Time, 15 minutes in advance of the start of the meeting. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time and allow ample time for the check-in procedures. You may log in using one of two options: (1) join as a guest or (2) join as a shareholder. To join as a guest, you will need to enter the information requested on the screen to register as a guest. If you enter the meeting as a guest, you will not be able to vote your shares or submit questions during the meeting. If you were a registered holder or a beneficial owner as of the Record Date, you may join the 2025 Annual Meeting as a shareholder by entering the 16-digit control number found on the proxy card or voting instruction form previously received in connection with the 2025 Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner as of the Record Date and you do not have a 16-digit control number, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee (preferably at least 5 days before the meeting) and obtain a “legal proxy” in order to be able to attend and participate in the meeting. You must join the meeting as a shareholder to vote your shares or submit questions during the meeting. If you were a participant in an employee benefit plan and you have a control number, you may join the 2025 Annual Meeting as a shareholder using that control number. Otherwise, you may join the meeting as a guest. | ||
Q. | What if I need technical assistance accessing the virtual-only meeting? | ||
A. | The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most updated version of applicable software and plugins. Beginning 15 minutes prior to the meeting start, technicians will be available to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting webcast. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the webcast, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the annual meeting website log-in page located at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/APG2025. | ||
Q. | How do I ask questions at the 2025 Annual Meeting? | ||
A. | Shareholders will have the ability to submit questions during the 2025 Annual Meeting via the meeting website at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/APG2025 by following the instructions available on the meeting page. Questions relevant to 2025 Annual Meeting matters will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints. To ensure that as many shareholders as possible are able to ask questions during the 2025 Annual Meeting, each shareholder will be permitted no more than two questions. Questions from multiple shareholders on the same topic or that are otherwise related may be grouped, summarized and answered together. If you join the meeting as a guest, you will not be able to ask questions. Responses to questions relevant to 2025 Annual Meeting matters that are not answered during the meeting will be posted on the Company’s Investor Relations webpage. | ||

Q. | How do I obtain electronic access to the proxy materials? | ||
A. | This proxy statement and our Annual Report are available to shareholders free of charge at http://materials.proxyvote.com/00187Y. If you are a beneficial owner or a participant in an employee benefit plan, you may be able to elect to receive future annual reports or proxy statements by email. For information regarding electronic delivery of proxy materials for shares held in “street name” or in an employee benefit plan, you should contact your broker or other nominee. | ||
Q. | What constitutes a quorum, and why is a quorum required? | ||
A. | State law requires that we have a quorum of shareholders present in person or by proxy for all items of business to be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting. The presence at the 2025 Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum, permitting us to conduct the business of the 2025 Annual Meeting. Proxies received but marked as abstentions, if any, and broker non-votes (described below) will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting for quorum purposes. If we do not have a quorum, then the person presiding over the 2025 Annual Meeting or the shareholders present at the 2025 Annual Meeting may, by a majority in voting power thereof, adjourn the meeting from time to time, as authorized by our bylaws, until a quorum is present. | ||
Q. | What am I voting on? | ||
A. | Those entitled to vote are asked to vote on the following three proposals. Our Board’s recommendation for each of these proposals is set forth below: | ||
Proposal | Board Recommendation | ||
1.To elect nine directors for a one-year term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders | FOR each Director Nominee | ||
2. To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year. | FOR | ||
3. To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs | FOR | ||
4. To approve the amendment of our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. | FOR | ||
We will also consider other proposals that properly come before the 2025 Annual Meeting in accordance with our bylaws. |

Q. | Is my vote confidential? | ||
A. | Yes. We encourage shareholder participation in corporate governance by ensuring the confidentiality of shareholder votes.

Q. | What happens if additional matters are presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting? | ||

Q. | What if I am a registered holder and I return my proxy without making any selections? | ||
A. | If you are a registered holder and sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form without making any selections, your shares will be voted “FOR” all director nominees and “FOR” proposals 2 and 3. If other matters properly come before the 2025 Annual Meeting, Russell A. Becker, G. David Jackola and Louis B. Lambert will have the authority to vote on those matters for you at their discretion. As of the date of this proxy statement, we are not aware of any matters that will come before the 2025 Annual Meeting other than those disclosed in this proxy statement. | ||
Q. | What if I am a beneficial owner and I do not give the broker or other nominee voting instructions? | ||
A. | If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, such nominee is bound by the rules of the NYSE regarding whether or not it can exercise discretionary voting power for any particular proposal if the broker has not received voting instructions from you. Brokers have the authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain “routine” matters. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee who holds shares for another does not vote on a particular item because the nominee does not have discretionary voting authority for that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes are included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but are not considered a vote cast. The table below sets forth, for each proposal described in this proxy statement, whether a broker can exercise discretion and vote your shares absent your instructions and if not, the impact of such broker non-vote on the approval of the applicable proposal | ||
Proposal | Can Brokers Vote Absent Instruction s? | Impact of Broker Non-Vote | |
1.To elect nine directors for a one-year term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders | No | None | |
2. To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year. | Yes | Not Applicable | |
3. To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs | No | None | |
4. To approve the amendment of our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. | No | None | |

Q. | What if I am a participant in an employee benefit plan and I do not give the nominee voting instructions? | ||
A. | If you are a participant in an employee benefit plan and you do not provide voting instructions (or your instructions are incomplete or unclear) as to one or more of the matters to be voted on, the unvoted shares in your account will be treated as follows: •The ESOP. The ESOP’s trustee will vote shares in your account with respect to each applicable proposal in the same proportion for which the trustee received timely, complete and clear voting instructions. •The APi Group 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan and APi Group Safe Harbor 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan.

A. | If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form marked “Abstain” on any proposal, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. Marking “Abstain” with respect to any of the proposals described in this proxy statement will not have any impact on the approval of the applicable proposal. | ||
Q. | Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I have delivered my proxy card or voting instruction form? | ||
