JBI Janus International Group Inc

Exhibit 10.1

1.    Purpose and Effective Date. This Janus International Group, Inc. Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan (this “Plan”) has been established by Janus International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Employer”), effective as of September 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), to provide severance pay and benefits to Eligible Executives (as defined below) in the event of a termination of employment under certain qualifying circumstances on or after the Effective Date. This Plan is intended to be maintained primarily for the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

2.    Definitions. The following terms, when capitalized herein, shall have the meanings given below. Other defined terms are included throughout this Plan.

1

2

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that an Eligible Executive and a member of the Company Group are party to a written agreement that contains a different definition of any of the defined terms in this Section 2, the definition set forth in this Section 2 shall be applicable to such Eligible Executive for purposes of this Plan and not the definition contained in such written agreement.

3.    Eligibility. Only individuals who are Eligible Executives may participate in this Plan. The Committee has full and absolute discretion to determine and select which employees of the Company Group are Eligible Executives. Once an employee becomes an Eligible Executive, such individual shall automatically continue to be an Eligible Executive until the Eligible Executive ceases to be an employee or is removed as an Eligible Executive by the Committee, subject to Section 11. This Plan shall supersede all prior agreements, practices, policies, procedures and plans relating to severance payments or benefits from all members of the Company Group with respect to the Eligible Executives.

4.    Severance Benefits.

3

For clarity, in the event that an Eligible Executive’s employment with any member of the Company Group terminates (pursuant to an Eligible Termination or otherwise), all outstanding equity incentive awards then held by such Eligible Executive, pursuant to the Incentive Plan or otherwise, will be treated in accordance with the award agreement applicable to such award or the Incentive Plan, as applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an Eligible Executive’s employment with any member of the Company Group terminates other than pursuant to an Eligible Termination, then all compensation and benefits to the Eligible Executive shall terminate contemporaneously with such termination of employment, except that the Eligible Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts.

5.    Requirement of Release. Payment of the Severance Benefits under this Plan is expressly conditioned upon the Eligible Executive timely signing, and not revoking, a release agreement (in a form satisfactory to the Company and in compliance with any laws applicable to such release) which will include a release of all claims (including, but not limited to, pursuant to any contract, tort, or wage and hour claims, and any claims under any federal, state or local laws) against the Company Group (the “Release”). The Eligible Executive must sign (and not revoke) the Release within the timeframes set forth therein; provided, that unless otherwise required by law, the cumulative period given to the Eligible Executive to review and revoke the Release shall not the sixty (60)-day period following the Termination Date. In no event shall payment of any Severance Benefit be made prior to the effective date of the Release.

6.    Application of Sections 280G and 4999. Upon a Change in Control, in the event that the Company’s legal counsel or accountants determine that any payment, benefit or transfer by the Company under this Plan or any other plan, agreement, or arrangement to or for the benefit of an Eligible Executive (in the aggregate, the “Total Payments”) to be subject to the tax (“Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code but for this Section 6, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Total Payments shall be delivered either (a) in full or (b) in an amount such that the value of the aggregate Total Payments that the Eligible Executive is entitled to receive shall be One Dollar ($1.00) less than the maximum amount that the Eligible Executive may receive without being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of (a) or (b) results in the receipt by the Eligible Executive of the greatest benefit on an after-tax basis (taking into account applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax). In the event that clause (b) results in a greater after-tax benefit to the Eligible Executive, payments or benefits included in the Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated by applying the following principles, in order: (i) the payment or benefit with the higher ratio of the parachute payment value to present economic value (determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions) shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with a lower ratio; (ii) the payment or benefit with the later possible payment date shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with an earlier payment date; and (iii) cash payments shall be reduced prior to non-cash benefits; provided that if the foregoing order of reduction or elimination would

4

violate Section 409A, then the reduction shall be made pro rata among the payments or benefits included in the Total Payments (on the basis of the relative present value of the parachute payments). The Company shall direct its legal counsel or accountants to prepare the calculation described hereinabove, including the calculation regarding whether payments are owed under clause (a) or (b) above, upon the written request of the Eligible Executive.

7.    Death of Executive. If an Eligible Executive dies after becoming eligible for Severance Benefits and executing the Release but before full receipt of the Severance Benefits, then the Severance Benefits for which Executive is eligible shall be paid to the Eligible Executive’s estate, other than the benefits set forth in Section 4(a)(ii) or 4(b)(ii), as applicable, which shall be available to the Eligible Executive’s dependents who are otherwise eligible for such benefits in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii) or 4(b)(ii), as applicable. If an Eligible Executive dies after becoming eligible for Severance Benefits but before executing the Release, then no Severance Benefits with respect to the Eligible Executive are payable under this Plan unless the Eligible Executive’s estate executes a release in substantially the same form as the Release for and on behalf of the estate of the Eligible Executive.

8.    Offsets. The Company may, in its discretion and to the extent permitted under applicable law and/or Section 409A, offset against the Eligible Executive’s benefits under this Plan the fair market value of unreturned property, and any outstanding loan, debt or other amount the Eligible Executive owes to the Employer. The Company may recover any overpayment of benefits made to an Eligible Executive or an Eligible Executive’s estate under this Plan or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, offset any other overpayment made to the Eligible Executive against any Plan benefits or other amount the Employer owes the Eligible Executive or the Eligible Executive’s estate.

9.    Repayment Obligations. Should the Eligible Executive violate any of the Restrictive Covenants, or should the Company discover after such Eligible Executive’s Termination Date that the Eligible Executive engaged, while employed by the Employer, in conduct that could have resulted in a termination for Cause had the facts been known to the Company at the time of the Eligible Executive’s termination, then the Company shall be entitled to immediately cease payment of any remaining Severance Benefits under this Plan and, to the extent permitted by law, to require the Eligible Executive to repay the Severance Benefits.

10.    Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the absolute discretion and exclusive right to interpret, construe and administer this Plan and to make final determinations on all questions arising under this Plan, including, but not limited to, questions concerning eligibility for, the amount of and receipt of, Plan benefits. All decisions of the Committee will be conclusive, final and binding upon the parties.

11.    Amendment or Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any time in its sole discretion by action of the Board or the Committee. The Committee reserves the right to adjust the Severance Benefits payable to any particular Eligible Executive in its sole discretion and without such Eligible Executive’s consent, and such adjustment shall automatically be considered an amendment to this Plan as applicable to such Eligible Executive.

12.    Claims and Appeals Procedure. Any claim for Plan benefits shall be made in accordance with this Section 12.

5

13.    Section 409A. This Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, payments provided under this Plan may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Plan that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. Any payments to be made under this Plan upon the termination of an Eligible Executive’s employment shall only be made if such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A. In no event may an Eligible Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Plan. Each installment payment under this Plan is intended to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided for herein would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A if an Eligible Executive’s receipt of such payment or benefit is not delayed until the earlier of (i) the date of the Eligible Executive’s death or (ii) the date that is six (6) months after the Eligible Executive’s Termination Date (such earlier date, the “Section 409A Payment Date”), then such payment or benefit shall not be provided to the Eligible Executive (or the Eligible Executive’s estate, if applicable) until the Section 409A Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Plan are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A and in no event shall any member of the Company Group be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by any Eligible Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

14.    Miscellaneous.

12.    Severability; Reformation.
