Letter to Stockholders

To Our Fellow Stockholders:

Thank you for your continued investment in Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (the "Company", "Simpson", "we" or "us"). We cordially invite you to attend Simpson's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), to be held virtually, via live webcast at https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SSD2026, at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time, on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Stockholders attending the virtual meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting. Further information on attending, voting, and submitting questions at the Annual Meeting is included in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement.

Despite continuing sluggishness in housing starts across the U.S., our industry position and growth strategies allowed us to deliver improved profitability in 2025, with $2.3 billion in annual net sales, a 19.6% operating income margin and $8.24 of earnings per diluted share. In North America, sales revenue increased 4.5% primarily due to price increases to offset rising costs including tariffs on imports. In Europe, sales increased 4.3% mostly due to the positive effect of foreign currency translations as well as a slight increase in volume and product price increases despite a difficult demand environment driven by our customer-focused business model and innovative product applications.

Our Proxy Statement is an opportunity to reflect on the Company's performance, highlight the strengths and efforts of our Board and provide transparency into our corporate governance, sustainability and executive compensation practices. Our directors bring a diverse set of skills and experiences aligned with the needs of our business, and through thoughtful ongoing refreshment we have ensured that our Board continues to possess the knowledge and expertise to support Simpson's long-term success.

The accompanying Proxy Statement further highlights key activities and accomplishments in 2025 and contains information on the matters that we are seeking your vote at the Annual Meeting. On behalf of the Board, our executive management team, and the entire Simpson organization, thank you for your continued interest and support.

Sincerely yours,

Mike Olosky

President and Chief Executive Officer

We have established deeply rooted core values that define our business. Our founder, Barclay Simpson, outlined nine essential attributes for company and employee success. Those "Nine Principles of Business" are our company values, and we continue to uphold them.

At the forefront of these values is doing what is right for our employees' safety and well-being, as well as for our customers, communities and environment. We honor the Nine Principles of Business through our involvement in our local communities and efforts to help protect our environment.

At the management level, the CSR Steering Committee provides oversight of the execution of our sustainability strategy and reporting on our progress

Our Nominating and CSR Committee provides Board-level oversight of the Company's environmental and social policies, practices, and strategy

We continuously review our energy, water and waste usage to determine capacity for improvement

More than 1,100 North American employees participated in various charitable activities benefiting individuals and families

UN Sustainable Development Goals assessment provides insight into our alignment with societal goals

We produce a SASB Index to provide stakeholders with our performance on materials topics

We produce a TCFD report to recognize the impacts of climate change and highlight the Company's efforts to mitigate and adapt to the identified risks and opportunities by ensuring they are addressed within its business strategy. The Company's TCFD Report follows the recommended TCFD framework, including governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.

Item 2: Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

We recommend that you review our executive compensation disclosure, including the Compensation Discussion & Analysis beginning on page 34, which explains in greater detail the philosophy of the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee and its actions and decisions in 2025 regarding our named executive officer compensation programs. While the outcome of this proposal is non-binding, the Board and Compensation and Leadership Development Committee value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their votes on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions.

The Board recommends a vote FOR this proposal. Page 31

In November 2025, Nozomi (Kei) Bullock joined the Company as Executive Vice President, Human Resources, in anticipation of Jennifer Lutz's retirement, effective December 31, 2025.

Below we highlight certain of our executive compensation policies and practices, including both those which we utilize to drive performance and those which we prohibit because we do not believe they would serve our stockholders' long-term interests.

Executive Compensation Summary

Compensation Philosophy

Simpson's executive compensation philosophy emphasizes pay-for-performance. Our philosophy is to provide executive compensation opportunities that are competitively positioned in light of appropriate comparative market data for companies similar to us in terms of revenue size and industry. Our incentive plans are designed to reward strong performance, with greater compensation paid when performance exceeds expectations and less compensation paid when performance falls below expectations. Thus, the actual compensation realized by our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") will be commensurate with the Company's actual performance.

Our Compensation and Leadership Development Committee regularly reviews our executive compensation program's components, targets and payouts to support the strength of our pay-for-performance alignment. Our performance is evaluated against both short-term goals, which support Simpson's business strategy, and long-term goals, which measure the creation of sustainable stockholder value.

Annual Say on Pay Vote

At our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Simpson again received strong support for its NEO compensation programs, with over 97.5% of votes cast approving, on an advisory basis, our NEO compensation. In 2025, as in prior years, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee considered input from our stockholders and other stakeholders as part of its annual review of Simpson's executive compensation program.

Please see the "Compensation Discussion & Analysis" section in this Proxy Statement for a detailed description of our NEO compensation programs.

Compensation Risk Assessment

As part of its oversight of the Company's executive compensation program, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee reviews and considers any potential risk implications created by compensation. The Compensation and Leadership Development Committee believes that the executive compensation program is designed with the appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to the Company's overall business strategy and that the balance of compensation elements does not encourage excessive risk taking. The Compensation and Leadership Development Committee will continue to consider compensation risk implications, as appropriate, in designing any new executive compensation components. In connection with its ongoing risk assessment, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee notes the following attributes of the executive compensation program:

the balance between fixed and variable compensation, short- and long-term compensation, and cash and equity payouts;

the alignment of long-term incentives with selected performance measures that are anchored to the growth in US housing starts,consider peer performance expectations, and reflect the Company's historical results, business plan and its financial and operational goals;

the placement of a significant portion of executive pay "at risk" and dependent upon the achievement of specific corporate performance goals with verifiable results, with pre-established threshold, target and maximum payment levels;

the Company's compensation recovery policy, which applies to performance-based cash and performance-based equity compensation paid to executive officers and other recipients;

the balance between risks and benefits of compensation as related to attracting and retaining executives and other senior leaders;

the Company's executive stock ownership guidelines, which align the interests of the executive officers with those of the Company's stockholders; and

the regular review of the executive compensation program by an independent compensation consultant. The Compensation and Leadership Development Committee also has oversight over the Company's responsibility to review significant Company compensation policies and procedures, including the incentives that they create, to assess risk. At the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee's direction, the Company's Human Resources Department, in partnership with Meridian, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee's independent consultant, annually conducts a risk assessment of the Company's compensation programs. Based on the most recent assessment, management has concluded that the compensation policies and practices of the Company and its subsidiaries for employees do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, and management has presented the results of its assessment to the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee.

Item 3:

Ratification of Appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as Auditors

Our Board has ratified our Audit and Finance Committee's appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as Simpson's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026, and, as a matter of good governance, we are seeking stockholder ratification of that appointment.

The Board recommends a vote FOR this proposal. Page 70

‌Corporate Governance

Our Board maintains a strong commitment to corporate governance and has implemented policies and procedures that we believe are among the best practices in corporate governance.

We maintain a corporate governance section on our website which contains copies of our principal governance documents. The corporate governance section, which may be found at ir.simpsonmfg.com under "Governance," includes, among others, the following documents:

Anti Hedging and Anti Pledging Policy

** Tenure statistics represent nonemployee director nominees and do not include Mr. Olosky.

‌Item 1: Election of Directors

Unless otherwise directed, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card intend to vote "FOR" the election of each of the nominees. If any nominee should become unavailable for election, the shares will be voted for such substitute nominee as may be proposed by our Board. However, we are not aware of any circumstances that would prevent any of the nominees from serving.

Our Charter provides that all directors shall be elected annually for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

Accordingly, on the recommendation of our Nominating and CSR Committee, our Board nominates James Andrasick, Chau Banks, Felica Coney, Philip Donaldson, Angela Drake, Celeste Volz Ford, Kenneth Knight, and Michael Olosky, who will stand for election as directors at this year's Annual Meeting, each for a term expiring at our 2027 Annual Meeting. All director nominees are current directors of the Company who were previously elected by stockholders.

In nominating individuals to become members of the Board, the Nominating and CSR Committee considers the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each potential member. Each nominee brings a strong and unique background and set of skills to the Board, giving the Board, as a whole, competence and experience in a wide variety of areas.

The Nominating and CSR Committee and the Board considered the following information, including the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each individual, in concluding each was an appropriate nominee to serve as a member of our Board for a one-year term commencing at the Annual Meeting (ages are as of March 11, 2026).

Our Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" each of the nominees named below.
