Town Hall Transcript Hello everybody. I'm Johnny Sirpilla, and I come to you today with a heart full of gratitude and excitement for the opportunity to serve as interim CEO of this incredible company. Before I say anything about the future, I wanna begin with gratitude and respect for the past. For more than seventy years, Lippert has been built by remarkable leaders and remarkable team members. From Larry Lippert's vision and entrepreneurial spirit, to Doug Lippert's leadership and, most recently, Jason Lippert's bold commitment to growth, innovation, and people, this company has continually evolved while staying true to who we are. Jason helped transform Lippert into the diversified company we know today. His impact on this business, our culture, and our people will be felt for years to come. I'm grateful for his leadership and for all he has done to help make Lippert the company it is today. As I step into this role to help steward us through this season of transition, I'd love to share a little of my story with you. I was blessed to be born and raised in the RV and marine industries. My family has been in the dealership business since the late 1950s, and I've had the opportunity to lead and grow our family business before selling it to Camping World in 2003. I spent the next 15 years serving as an executive leader, including as president and chief business development officer of Camping World and Good Sam. I know this industry, our dealer customers, and our OEM customers, and more importantly, I love this industry and the adjacent markets that we serve. It has always been in my blood. After retiring, I joined the LCI Board of Directors seven years ago. Over the past seven years, I've had the privilege of getting to know many of our leaders and team members across the organization. Through my time on the board, I've gained a deep appreciation for the manufacturing excellence, innovation, and operational discipline that drives Lippert every day. This perspective gives me tremendous confidence in our future. I also have greatly admired the way this company has diversified into broader recreation and transportation markets, allowing us to better serve customers while creating long-term shareholder value. As for me, I don't believe respect automatically comes with a title. Respect is earned, and I intend to earn yours. You will hear me talk often about four principles that guide my leadership: curiosity, alignment, accountability, and gratitude. I will ask questions because curiosity creates learning. I will seek alignment because great teams move faster when they move together. And I believe in accountability because commitments matter I lead with gratitude because none of us accomplish anything meaningful alone. I am here to support our leaders, support our teams, and help create an environment where people can do their best work. I will continue to lead with gratitude for our core values, our leader qualities, and the standards that have helped make Lippert special. We will continue to sharpen one another through our LAP goals, both personally and professionally, because growth is the responsibility of all of us. And as we move forward, especially during the
times of change, this matters even more I want to be clear about how we will operate from a business and cultural perspective. Ryan Smith and Jamie Schnur will continue to lead our business as group presidents. They have an extensive understanding of our people, our operations, and our customers. They are exceptional leaders, and it is an honor to work alongside them. I will continue to support them and the rest of the senior leadership team, ensuring they have the resources, alignment, and support they need to lead with confidence. Furthermore, our culture remains a priority. Our core values are not simply words on a wall. They are standards by which we lead, work together, and serve others. We are passionate about winning. We believe in team play with trust. We lead with honesty, integrity, and candor. We care about people, and we choose to bring a positive attitude every day. That is so important. Those values helped build Lippert, and they will continue to guide us through this next chapter. And finally, our pillars remain our priorities. That means an unwavering commitment to safety. Nothing is more important than ensuring our teammates return home safely to their families every single day. It also means an uncompromising commitment to quality. The products we build represent our reputation, our craftsmanship, and our promise to our customers. We will continue to focus on innovation, customer experience, operational excellence, and continuous improvement, and we will never lose sight of the fundamentals that built this company: caring about people, building quality products, serving customers exceptionally well, and working together as one team. Lippert will remain a high-growth company committed to making lives better for our coworkers, customers, and communities while creating value for our shareholders. We recently announced a planned merger with Patrick Industries. By bringing together expanded capabilities, broader product solutions, and greater resources to serve our customers, we will be better positioned to continue growing, innovating, and creating new opportunities for our team members well into the future. What matters most to me, and what I want you to hear directly, is this: we are building on strengths. Two organizations with solid legacies, deep expertise, and a shared commitment to people, customers, and communities are coming together to strive towards something even better I also recognize that announcements like this naturally create questions and uncertainty. That is understandable. Many of you are wondering what comes next, what this means for our teams, and how the process will unfold over the months ahead. The reality is that we are still early in the journey. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of twenty twenty-seven, and there are still important steps and approvals ahead of us before we get there. As detail becomes available, we are committed to communicating openly and consistently. You should expect regular cadenced updates from our leadership team so that we can stay aligned, focused, and engaged. In the meantime, it is important to understand that this remains very much business as usual. We are a manufacturing company with commitments to customers who depend on us every day. We continue
building products, servicing customers, and supporting the growth of our business and one another. That work remains essential, and it does not stop because two companies have announced plans to come together. In fact, one of the reasons this merger is so compelling is because of the strength of the businesses that both organizations have built. Our manufacturing and engineering capabilities, customer relationships, frontline operation, and business proficiencies are foundational to that strength and to the future we are building together. As we move through the integration process, our goal will be to take the best of both organizations and create something new together. Over time, that will include establishing a new company identity and name that reflects our shared future. But throughout that process, we will remain focused on preserving the values, capabilities, and culture that have made both companies successful. What I can promise is this: We will communicate openly, treat people with dignity and respect, and make decisions thoughtfully, not hastily. Our people have always been one of our greatest strengths, and that will not change I truly believe we can continue to be a business for good and a force for good in the world. Why? Because every single one of us has the opportunity each day to take care of the person beside us, every teammate, every customer, every supplier, every community we serve. That is how great cultures are built. I'm excited about what lies ahead because of you, because of the leaders throughout this company, because of the teammates who show up every day in our facilities, offices, and operations around the world, and because of the culture that all of you have helped build over the last seventy years. I come to this role with deep gratitude for what you have built, all that you continue to build, and the opportunity we now have to build what comes next together. We will continue to hold ourselves to the high standards of excellence that have defined Lippert for decades. Thank you for everything you bring to this organization. Together, we will navigate this season. Together, we will continue to grow. Together, we will continue to make lives better for one another, our customers, and our communities. And together, we will continue shaping a workplace defined by trust, teamwork, and opportunity, making Lippert a place where people can grow, contribute, and succeed. I look forward to earning your trust. Thank you.
