(c) On February 22, 2023, the Board of Directors of Pool Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Walker F. Saik as Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) and designated Mr. Saik as the Company's principal accounting officer, effective March 1, 2023. The designation of principal accounting officer transitions from Melanie Housey Hart, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who has served as principal accounting officer since 2008 and as CAO from 2008 until her appointment as CFO in 2021.

Mr. Saik, age 39, joined the Company as its Corporate Controller in July 2021 and will continue to hold that position. He is a certified public accountant. Prior to joining POOLCORP, he was a Managing Director in the audit practice at Ernst & Young LLP, where he worked for the previous 13 years. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Davidson College and holds a Master of Science in Accountancy from Wake Forest University.

The selection of Mr. Saik to serve as CAO was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with respect to any other person. There are no family relationships between Mr. Saik and any director, executive officer or other person that would require disclosure under Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Regulation S-K”). The Company has not engaged in any transaction in which Mr. Saik had a direct or indirect material interest within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
