No Executive Officer (as defined below), employee or member of the Company's Board of Directors (“Directors”) may purchase or sell securities (including publicly traded options) of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (“Apogee”) or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Apogee (Apogee and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the “Company”) when aware of Material Non-Public Information (as defined below), except as otherwise provided for in this policy. If Material Non-Public Information relating to the Company has not been available to the public for at least two (2) full trading days, Executive Officers, employees and Directors are prohibited from trading in Company securities, or directly or indirectly disclosing the Material Non-Public Information to any other persons that may trade in Company securities. In order to avoid the appearance of illegal trading, Executive Officers, Directors and Designated Employees (as defined below) may only purchase or sell Company securities during a quarterly trading window, which shall commence on the third trading day after the release of quarterly earnings results to the public and shall cease thirty (30) days prior to the close of the quarter.

If an Executive Officer, employee or Director has obtained any Material Non–Public Information relating to another company with which the Company has done or is doing business, that Executive Officer, employee or Director may not buy or sell securities of such other company or engage in any other action to take advantage of, or pass on to others, that information.

Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure) are no exception. Even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve the Company’s reputation for adhering to the highest standards of conduct.

No Executive Officer, employee or Director may engage in a hedging transaction related to the Company’s securities, i.e. the purchase or sale of financial instruments that are designed to offset any decrease in the market value of the Company’s securities. No Executive Officer or Director may, directly or indirectly, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for indebtedness.

The purpose of this policy is to require that all employees and all members of the Apogee Board of Directors comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to insider trading. U.S. federal securities laws prohibit employees, members of the Apogee Board of Directors and others from buying or selling securities based on information not publicly available that could affect the price of those securities.

This policy applies to every Company employee, including employees of Apogee and employees of any Apogee direct or indirect subsidiary, segment, division, market unit, business unit or facility, except to the extent this policy conflicts with any obligation of the Company under federal, state or local labor law. This policy also applies to all members of the Apogee Board of Directors.

When a Director or Executive Officer (as defined below) has adopted, modified or terminated a Pre-Arranged Trading Program (as defined below) or similar arrangement during a fiscal quarter, the event will be disclosed on the report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K covering that quarter, in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

Each Director and Executive Officer of the Company understands that the approval or adoption of a Pre-Arranged Trading Program in no way reduces or eliminates such person’s obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including such person’s disclosure obligations and potential short-swing trading liabilities thereunder.

Material Non-Public Information: Material Non-Public Information is any information about a company, or its business, not generally available to the public which a reasonable investor would consider important in deciding whether to buy, hold or sell any securities of a public company. In other words, any information that could reasonably affect the market price of a security is material information. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and U.S. courts have generally given a broad interpretation to what is considered “Material Information.”

Arranged Trading Program”) that (a) meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, (b) was established at a time when the Company, the Executive Officer or Director was not aware of Material Non-Public Information, and (c) was approved in advance by Apogee’s Chief Legal Officer, then the Company, the Executive Officer or Director may sell or purchase Apogee securities while aware of Material Non-Public Information or during other periods in which Apogee has required or recommended the suspension of trading by the Company, Executive Officers and Directors, so long as such sales or purchases are made pursuant to such Pre-Arranged Trading Program.

Any Executive Officer, employee or Director of the Company who is aware of Material Non-Public Information relating to the Company or to any other company with which the Company does business, which has not yet been available to the public for two (2) full trading days, may not trade in, or gift, securities of Apogee (unless such trading is pursuant to a Pre-Arranged Trading Program that meets all of the requirements set forth above) or the other company or directly or indirectly disclose such information to any other persons that may trade in such securities.

•An employee enters a trade immediately after a public announcement of material information has been made by the company. Because the investing public should be afforded the time to receive and absorb the information, an employee should not engage in any transactions in company securities until at least 48 hours after the announcement. If the released information is particularly complex or voluminous, a longer period may be appropriate.

If the Company is involved in a transaction with another public company, whether or not the transaction has been announced, no Executive Officer, employee or Director who is aware of the transaction or possible transaction, may purchase or sell any securities or options of the Company or the other public company.

To avoid the appearance of trading on Material Non-Public Information relating to earnings, Executive Officers, Directors, and other employees designated in writing by the Chief Legal Officer (“Designated Employees”) may only purchase or sell securities of the Company in the open market during a quarterly trading window, unless the purchases or sales are pursuant to a Pre-Arranged Trading Program that meets the requirements set forth above or are regular purchases of Apogee stock under the Apogee Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”); provided, however, Executive Officers and Designated Employees may only increase, decrease or discontinue their contributions to any such ESPP during a quarterly trading window. Executive Officers, Directors, and Designated Employees may only exercise stock options and/or stock appreciation rights during a quarterly trading window, unless such exercises are pursuant to a Pre-Arranged Trading Program that meets the requirements set forth above or are “exercise and hold” transactions, with the exercise price and tax withholding of such options or stock appreciation rights being paid in cash or shares of Apogee stock tendered to the Company.

The trading window opens on the third trading day following the day announcement of earnings is made. The Company’s trading window closes 30 days prior to the close of the quarter. Trading in these window periods will not relieve liability for trading on or tipping Material Non-Public Information or if such trading results in recoverable “short-swing profits.”

Even though a quarterly trading window may be open, there are a number of other restrictions which may prohibit any trading by certain individuals, including trading restrictions relating to “short-swing” profits and trading restrictions imposed because of confidential material transactions. To avoid any inadvertent violation of trading prohibitions, unless the transaction is completed in accordance with a Pre-Arranged Trading Program that meets the requirements set forth above, or is a regular purchase (but not a sale) of Apogee stock pursuant to Apogee’s ESPP, no Executive Officer or Director may purchase or sell, or otherwise make any other transfer of, any Apogee securities in the open market (including any increases, decreases or discontinuation of contributions to the Apogee ESPP), or make a gift of any Apogee securities, unless the Apogee’s Chief Legal Officer or, in their absence, Apogee’s Chief Financial Officer, is advised in advance of such intent and approves the transaction.

Furthermore, all employees are encouraged to seek the advice of Apogee’s Chief Legal Officer or, in their absence, of Apogee’s Chief Financial Officer, prior to effecting any transaction in securities of the Company during any “blackout” period. “Blackout” periods include the periods before trading windows and any days during a trading window with respect to which the Company or Chief Legal Officer or, in their absence, Apogee’s Chief Financial Officer, has advised you that you are not permitted to trade Company securities. Approved transactions should be completed within three trading days of approval by the Chief Legal Officer or, in their absence, by the Chief Financial Officer.

Under U.S. federal law, “short-swing” profits belong to and are recoverable by the Company. The Company cannot waive its right to recover short-swing profits; if the Company fails or refuses to collect the profits, a shareholder may commence a lawsuit for collection on behalf of the Company. This U.S. federal law applies regardless of whether the Executive Officer or Director was actually in possession of Material Non-Public Information. Lack of intent to trade on Material Non-Public Information is similarly irrelevant. Trades made through a Pre-Arranged Trading Program are not exempt from the short-swing profit rules.

Short-swing profits include any “profit” resulting from any combination of purchase and sale or sale and purchase of Company securities, including derivative securities, within six months of each other. The highest sale price of any securities sold during the six-month period will be matched against the lowest purchase price of any securities purchased during that period to determine if a short-swing profit exists. The order in which the purchase and sale occurred and the fact that they may have involved different shares in the Company are both irrelevant to whether a “profit” exists.

U.S. federal law prohibits Executive Officers and Directors from making “short” sales or “sales against the box” of Company securities. A short sale is the sale of securities where the Company securities are not actually owned and where delivery on the sale is made with borrowed or subsequently purchased securities. It is unlawful and improper for an Executive Officer or Director to sell Company securities which they do not own and an acquisition of a put or issuance of a call for Company securities may result in a violation of the short sale prohibition. A “sale against the box” is the sale of securities owned but not promptly delivered after the sale. It is a violation of U.S. federal law for an Executive Officer or Director to sell Company securities if the certificate representing the securities is not delivered within 20 days after the sale or deposited in the mail or other usual means of delivery within five days after the sale.

Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions allow a shareholder to lock in much of the value of their stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. Such transactions in securities of the Company by an Executive Officer, other employee of the Company or Director would allow such individual to continue to own the covered securities of the Company, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the Executive Officer, other employee of the Company or Director may no longer have the same objectives as other shareholders of the Company. For this reason, the Company prohibits all Executive Officers, other employees of the Company and Directors from engaging in the purchase or sale of financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company’s securities.

No Executive Officer or Director may, directly or indirectly, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for indebtedness. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, holding such shares in a margin account or any other account that could cause Apogee common stock to be subject to a margin call or otherwise be available as collateral for a margin loan.

Executive Officers, employees and Directors must not pass Material Non–Public Information on to others. Penalties under U.S. federal securities laws apply whether or not the employee derives a benefit from another’s actions. In fact, the SEC has imposed substantial penalties on tippers even though they did not profit financially from their tippee’s trading.

The restrictions contained in this policy apply equally to family members and any other individuals living in an Executive Officer’s, employee’s or Director’s household. Executive Officer’s, employees and Directors are expected to be responsible for the compliance of their immediate family and personal household. Family members and any other individuals living in an Executive Officer’s or Director’s household are required to comply with the preclearance procedures outlined in section 4 above prior to engaging in any transactions in Company securities.

Serious problems could be caused for the Company by unauthorized disclosure of internal information about the Company, whether or not such disclosure is for the purpose of facilitating improper trading in shares of Company securities. Company personnel should not discuss internal Company matters or developments with anyone outside of the Company, except as required in the performance of regular duties.

This prohibition on sharing Company information applies specifically (but not exclusively) to inquiries about the Company which may be made by the press, investment analysts or others in the financial community. It is important that all such communications on behalf of the Company be through an appropriately designated officer under carefully controlled circumstances. Unless you are expressly authorized to the contrary, if you receive any inquiries of this nature, you should decline comment and refer the inquirer to the Company’s designated spokesperson. See Disclosure of Information to the Public, the Media and Analysts Corporate Policy (Legal 025).

This policy continues to apply to transactions in Company securities even after termination of service to the Company. If an Executive Officer, employee or Director is in possession of Material Non-Public Information when their service terminates, that individual may not trade in Company securities until that information has become public or is no longer material.
