Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of Alamo Group Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Mr. Jeffery A. Leonard to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 31, 2021, to succeed Ronald A. Robinson who is retiring as President and Chief Executive Officer, as previously announced. The Company’s press release announcing Mr. Leonard's appointment is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Mr. Leonard joined Alamo Group in September 2011 as Executive Vice President in charge of the Company's Industrial Division. Mr. Leonard previously was Senior Vice President of Metso Minerals Industries Inc., a supplier of technology and services for mining, construction, power generation, automation, recycling, and pulp and paper industries.

On March 29, 2021, following review of market data and other information provided by the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, the Board approved, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, a new compensatory arrangement for Mr. Leonard.

Effective May 31, 2021, Mr. Leonard’s annual base salary will increase to $750,000, his short-term annual incentive plan target will increase to 100% of base salary and he will receive a long-term equity incentive award with a value of $641,667, half of which will be in the form of a restricted stock award vesting ratably over a period of 3 years and the other half of which will be in the form of a performance share unit award that vests (if at all) on the basis of meeting certain long-term performance goals over the 3 year period beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023. In addition, the Committee approved an amendment to Mr. Leonard’s Change in Control Agreement, effective May 31, 2021, increasing his severance factor from 2 times annual base salary plus the annual target cash bonus to 3 times such amount.

As previously announced, Mr. Robinson will remain with the Company in a non-executive capacity as strategic advisor until August 1, 2021 and his compensation will remain at its current levels until his employment with the Company comes to an end on such date. In addition, Mr. Robinson will remain as a member of the Company's Board of Directors.
