Set forth below is certain additional information for each executive officer and director of the Company, including his principal occupation or employment for at least the previous five years and, with respect to each director, his specific experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), qualifies him to serve as a director and are likely to enhance the Board’s ability to manage and direct the Company’s business and affairs.
Henry Nahmad has served as a director of the Company and as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company since March 2015. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Nahmad served as Chief Executive Officer of Chemstar Corp., a provider of food safety and sanitation solutions, from July 2009 to March 2014. From 2001 to 2004 and from 2007 to 2009, Mr. Nahmad worked in various capacities at Watsco, Inc., the largest distributor of HVAC/R products. The Board believes that Mr. Nahmad’s knowledge, leadership skills, business relationships, and experience, including with respect to growth from acquisitions and other strategic transactions, make Mr. Nahmad a valuable member of the Board and benefit the Company, including with respect to its business, operations and growth strategy.
Tom Marks has served as Executive Vice President of the Company since October 2016 when he was appointed to such position in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Western State Design at that time. In December 2018, his corporate title was changed to Executive Vice President, Business Development and he was named President of the Company’s West Region in January 2021.

He continues to serve the Company in a non-executive position as strategic advisor to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Mack founded Western State Design in 1974 and has served as its President since its inception.

David Blyer has served as a director of the Company since 1998. Since April 2017, Mr. Blyer has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Arreva LLC, which provides software to serve the fundraising and donor relationship management needs of nonprofit organizations.

From November 1999 until December 2000, Mr. Blyer served as Vice President of Vento and, from January 2001 until July 2002, he served as President of the Enabling Technology Division of SPSS. The Board believes that Mr. Blyer brings to the Board broad experience in developing sales and marketing strategies, in addition to business operations skills gained through his founding and running of a number of diverse companies as well as his leading of a division of SPSS, which at the time was a publicly-held company. Mr. Blyer has an MBA in finance.

Additional Information Regarding Directors and Executive Officers
Under the Company’s Bylaws, each director serves for a term expiring at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders. Executive officers serve until they resign or are replaced or removed by the Board of Directors.
There is no family relationship between any director and executive officer. No director or executive officer has any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person(s) pursuant to which he is to be selected as a director or officer of the Company.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and other equity securities, if any, with the SEC and the NYSE American. The Company’s directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations from the Company’s directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, the Company believes that, except as described below, its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”). On December 19, 2023, 500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by director Glen Kruger through a 401(k) plan were sold in connection with the liquidation of such plan. A Form 4 reporting such transaction was filed on October 11, 2024.
Insider Trading Policy
The Company has adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing transactions in the Company’s securities (including purchases, sales and other dispositions of the Company’s securities) by directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as certain affiliates of such individuals, which the Company believes is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy is filed as Exhibit 19 to the Company’s Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on September 13, 2024.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of its directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is supplemented by a Senior Financial Officers Code of Ethics that applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and any other senior financial officers. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Senior Financial Officers Code of Ethics are posted in the “Investors – Governance – Governance Documents” section of the Company’s website at www.evi-ind.com. Any amendments to, or waivers of, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or Senior Financial Officers Code of Ethics (in each case, to the extent applicable to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer) will be posted on the Company’s website or made available by other appropriate means as required or permitted under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE American.
Audit Committee
The Company’s Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee. The Audit Committee consists of Timothy P. LaMacchia, Chairman, and Glen Kruger. As permitted by the Audit Committee’s Charter and by the rules of the NYSE American due to the Company qualifying as a “smaller reporting company” under Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, the Audit Committee is permitted to be comprised of two members. The Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “financially literate” and “independent” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE American (including, with respect to their independence, the additional independence requirements applicable to audit committee members thereunder) and applicable SEC rules and regulations. The Board also determined that Mr. LaMacchia is qualified as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

(1) | The Company does not have an employment agreement with any of the Named Executive Officers. The compensation of the Named Executive Officers is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Each Named Executive Officer receives an annual base salary and may receive bonuses, in cash and/or equity awards, pursuant to bonus plans which may be established from time to time by the Compensation Committee or otherwise at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Equity awards, if any, are granted under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The Named Executive Officers are also provided certain benefits, including health and welfare benefits and the right to participate in the Company’s participatory Section 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan described below on the same basis as the Company’s other employees. |
(2) | Represents the annual base salary paid to the Named Executive Officer during the applicable fiscal year. Each Named Executive Officer's annual base salary is subject to adjustment from time to time at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. During October 2023, Mr. Lazar’s annual base salary was increased from $240,000 to $300,000. |
(3) | Represents discretionary bonuses paid upon the approval of the Compensation Committee, in each cash, based upon a subjective evaluation of the performance of the Company and the applicable Named Executive Officer. See “Chief Executive Officer Compensation” below for information with respect to the bonuses paid to Mr. Nahmad, including the factors considered by the Compensation Committee in approving such bonuses and the restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Nahmad (as described in footnote 4 below). With respect to the bonuses paid to Mr. Marks and Mr. Lazar and the restricted stock units and awards granted to Mr. Marks and Mr. Lazar, respectively (as described in footnote 4 below), the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the recommendations of Mr. Nahmad and the performance, financial condition and achievements of the Company. The bonus amount for Mr. Marks for each of fiscal 2024 and 2023 is comprised of a $150,000 discretionary cash bonus and a quarterly cash bonus of $37,500 (or a total of $150,000 of quarterly cash bonuses during each such fiscal year). The payment of the quarterly cash bonus to Mr. Marks is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and may be modified or terminated at any time by the Compensation Committee. |

Each such grant was made under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan upon the approval of the Compensation Committee. Additional information regarding these grants, including the vesting schedules, is set forth below under “Outstanding Equity Awards at June 30, 2024” and, in the case of the grant to Mr. Nahmad, “Chief Executive Officer Compensation.” Assumptions used in the calculation of the grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards and units are included in Note 17 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K. Due to the long-term vesting of a majority of these restricted stock awards and units (subject to potential vesting acceleration under certain circumstances) and the risk of forfeiture until vesting, the present value of the restricted stock awards and units is significantly less than the grant date fair value presented in the table. |
During September 2024, the Company, upon the approval of the Compensation Committee, (i) paid discretionary cash bonuses of $650,000 to Mr. Nahmad, $150,000 to Mr. Marks and $60,000 to Mr. Lazar, and (ii) granted (a) a restricted stock award of 248,447 shares of the Company's Common Stock to Mr. Nahmad, (b) 24,844 restricted stock units to Mr. Marks, and (c) a restricted stock award of 15,527 shares of the Company's Common Stock to Mr. Lazar. Such restricted stock awards and units are scheduled to vest 50% on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date and 50% in four equal annual installments commencing in September 2025, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and the related restricted stock award or unit agreement. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock upon vesting. These cash bonuses and restricted stock awards and units are not reflected in the Summary Compensation Table above but will be included in the applicable Named Executive Officer's compensation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. In making the compensation decisions with respect to Mr. Marks and Mr. Lazar, the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the recommendations of Mr. Nahmad, the current and past compensation of Mr. Marks and Mr. Lazar, and the achievements of the Company, including with respect to its financial performance, business acquisitions, technology and modernization investments and initiatives, supplier relationships and investor relations. See “Chief Executive Officer Compensation” below for additional information with respect to the bonus paid and restricted stock award granted to Mr. Nahmad during September 2024, including the factors considered by the Compensation Committee in approving such items.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The compensation of Henry M. Nahmad, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is determined by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Nahmad receives an annual base salary and may receive bonuses, in cash and/or equity awards, pursuant to bonus plans which may be established from time to time by the Compensation Committee or otherwise at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. He is also provided certain benefits, including health and welfare benefits and the right to participate in the Company’s participatory Section 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan described below, on the same basis as the Company’s other employees.
Mr. Nahmad’s annual base salary during fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 was, and his annual base salary currently is, $650,000.
During September 2022, the Company paid to Mr. Nahmad a discretionary cash bonus of $550,000 and granted to Mr. Nahmad a restricted stock award of 202,430 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

In approving the bonus and restricted stock award grant, the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the success and performance, including continued growth, of the Company, the continued implementation of the Company’s optimization and modernization initiatives, and the continued success of the Company’s growth strategy, both through organic growth initiatives and the Company’s buy-and-build growth strategy, and, in each case, Mr. Nahmad’s role and contributions with respect thereto.

During October 2023, the Company paid to Mr. Nahmad a discretionary cash bonus of $750,000 and granted to Mr. Nahmad a restricted stock award of 166,667 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

In approving the bonus and restricted stock award grant, the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the factors described in the previous paragraph as well as the execution of long-term distribution agreements with certain of the Company’s key suppliers.
In addition, as previously described, during September 2024, the Company paid to Mr. Nahmad a discretionary cash bonus of $650,000 and granted to Mr. Nahmad a restricted stock award of 248,447 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

See “Compensation Plans and Arrangements” below for information regarding the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards in the event of Mr. Nahmad’s death or Disability (as defined in his restricted stock award agreements) and the potential accelerated vesting in connection with any Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan).

As previously described, in addition to the restricted stock awards set forth in the table above, during September 2024, the Company, upon the approval of the Compensation Committee, granted (a) a restricted stock award of 248,447 shares of the Company's Common Stock to Mr. Nahmad, (b) 24,844 restricted stock units to Mr. Marks, and (c) a restricted stock award of 15,527 shares of the Company's Common Stock to Mr. Lazar. Such restricted stock awards and units are scheduled to vest 50% on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date and 50% in four equal annual installments commencing in September 2025, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and the related restricted stock award or unit agreement. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock upon vesting.
Compensation Plans and Arrangements
As described above, no Named Executive Officer is a party to an employment agreement with the Company. In addition, the Company has no plans or arrangements with any Named Executive Officer which provide for the payment of retirement benefits, or benefits that would be paid primarily following retirement, other than the Company’s participatory Section 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, a deferred compensation plan under which the Company currently matches 50% of employee contributions up to 6% of an eligible employee’s yearly compensation on a discretionary basis. Such compensation is tax deferred under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Further, the Company has no contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements that provide for the payment in the future to any Named Executive Officer following or in connection with his resignation, termination of employment, or a change in control of the Company. However, outstanding restricted stock awards and units of the Company’s Common Stock, including those granted to the Named Executive Officers, will accelerate and immediately vest, to the extent not previously vested or forfeited, in the event of the award holder’s death or Disability (as defined in the restricted stock award or unit agreements). In addition, pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, such restricted stock awards and units may, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, accelerate and immediately vest, to the extent not previously vested or forfeited, upon a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan). In the event that vesting is accelerated, any unrecognized stock-based compensation expense would be immediately recognized. Had the restricted stock awards and units held by the Named Executive Officers as of June 30, 2024 vested upon their death or Disability or upon a Change in Control of the Company, in each case, occurring on June 30, 2024, the value of the accelerated vesting would have been approximately $24.9 million (based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the NYSE American on June 30, 2024) and the Company would have recognized approximately $21.9 million of stock-based compensation.

Director Compensation
The Compensation Committee, with the input and assistance of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, recommends director compensation to the full Board of Directors. The Board of Directors approves director compensation based on factors it considers to be appropriate, market conditions and trends, and the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.
The compensation program for the Company’s non-employee directors is intended to assist the Company in attracting and retaining qualified directors, reward non-employee directors for their service on the Board and its committees through both equity awards and cash fees, and align the interests of the non-employee directors with those of stockholders. Pursuant to the program, each non-employee director currently receives annually a grant of $50,000 of restricted stock units (based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant), which generally vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The restricted stock units are granted under, and subject to, the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and related restricted stock unit agreements. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock upon vesting. In addition, the Company’s compensation program for its non-employee directors also includes a cash component, pursuant to which (i) each non-employee director currently receives an annual cash fee of $5,000, (ii) the Chairman of the Audit Committee currently receives an additional annual cash fee of $20,000 (which was increased from $12,000 during December 2023), (iii) each other member of the Audit Committee currently receives an additional annual cash fee of $5,000 (which was increased from $4,000 during December 2023), (iv) the Chairman of the Compensation Committee currently receives an additional annual cash fee of $10,000 (which was increased from $7,500 during December 2023), and (v) each other member of the Compensation Committee currently receives an additional annual cash fee of $7,000 (which was increased from $4,000 during December 2023).
The Company does not provide any tax gross-ups to its non-employee directors, all of whom are responsible for their respective tax obligations relating to their compensation for Board and committee service. Directors are also reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with performing their duties. Directors of the Company who are also employees of the Company do not receive compensation for their service as directors, but are reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with performing their duties as directors.

(“FRI”). The Schedule 13G/A also states that when an investment management contract (including a sub advisory agreement) delegates to RALP investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats RALP as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement specifies otherwise and, accordingly, RALP reports on the Schedule 13G/A that it has sole investment discretion and voting authority over, and may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, the shares. |

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The following table sets forth the fees billed to the Company by BDO USA, P.C. (“BDO”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, |

All Other Fees | — | — | ||||||
Total Fees | $ | 1,290,660 | $ | 1,072,406 |
Audit Fees. Audit fees were for the audits of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2024 and 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for those fiscal years, and reviews of the Company’s quarterly financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during such fiscal years. The audit fees for each fiscal year also include fees related to the auditor attestation of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year.
Tax Fees. Tax fees were for services related to tax return preparation and tax advice.
All Other Fees. No fees other than audit fees and tax fees were paid by the Company to BDO for fiscal 2024 or 2023.
In connection with the standards for independence of a company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services by BDO was compatible with maintaining the independence of such firm in the conduct of its auditing functions.
It is the policy of the Audit Committee that all audit, audit-related, tax and other permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. It is expected that pre-approval will be for periods up to one year and be set forth in an engagement letter approved by the Audit Committee that applies to the particular services or category of services to be provided and subject to a specific budget. The policy also requires additional approval of any engagements that were previously approved but are anticipated to exceed the pre-approved fee budget level. The policy permits the Chairman of the Audit Committee to pre-approve services by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm where the Company deems it necessary or advisable that such services commence prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee, provided that the Chairman of the Audit Committee is required to report to the full Audit Committee on any pre-approval determinations made in this manner at the next Audit Committee meeting. All of the services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm during fiscal 2024 and 2023 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
