Effective as of August 17, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc.

Mr. Diaz will be entitled to participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation plan and certain indemnification rights. Such director compensation plan and indemnification rights are described in more detail under “Additional Executive Compensation Information — Director Compensation” in the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2017 (SEC File No. 001-37760) and “Description of Capital Stock—Limitations on Liability and Indemnification,” in the prospectus dated July 20, 2017 and filed as part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Registration No. 333- 219370).
