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

On May 27, 2026, Alan J.M. Haughie, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (“LP”, the “Company”), notified the Board of Directors of LP (the “Board”) of his intention to retire from the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective September 1, 2026. To ensure a seamless transition and continuity through the completion of the Company’s 2026 annual reporting process, Mr. Haughie will serve in an advisory capacity through February 28, 2027. Mr. Haughie’s base salary and benefits will continue at their current levels through this date, and he will be eligible for a prorated annual cash incentive award for his service to LP in 2027. The Board has expressed its appreciation for Mr. Haughie’s leadership and contributions to the company.

In connection with this transition, on May 28, 2026, the Board appointed Aaron Howald, who currently serves as Vice President, Investor Relations and Business Development, to succeed Mr. Haughie as Chief Financial Officer, effective September 1, 2026. Mr. Howald will also be appointed as a Senior Vice President of LP, effective September 1, 2026.

Mr. Howald joined LP 15 years ago and has held various leadership positions at the company across continuous improvement, corporate finance, business development, investor relations, and financial planning and analysis. Mr. Howald served as the Director of Investor Relations at LP from October 2019 until he was promoted to Vice President, Investor Relations, Business Development in November 2021. Prior to joining LP in 2011, Mr. Howald was a Senior Manager with The Thomas Group, a management consulting firm. He earned an MBA from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business and a Bachelor of Arts in Finance and Economics from Franklin College.

In connection with Mr. Howald’s promotion, effective September 1, 2026, LP has approved (a) an increase to Mr. Howald’s annual base salary to $560,000, and (b) an increase to Mr. Howald's target award value under LP’s Annual Incentive Plan to 75% of his annual base salary (to be prorated for 2026). In addition, Mr. Howald will be eligible for long-term equity grants under LP’s 2022 Omnibus Stock Award Plan commensurate with his new position with an aggregate value equal to $975,000 (split equally between restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units), beginning with LP’s annual equity grants in February 2027. Additionally, Mr. Howald will receive a one-time RSU award on September 1, 2026, with a value of $625,000, which will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The number of RSUs to be granted to Mr. Howald will be calculated based on the closing price of LP’s common stock on September 1, 2026, the grant date of such award.

In accordance with LP’s customary practice, on September 1, 2026, Mr. Howald and LP will enter into LP’s standard form of severance agreement for its executive officers, previously filed as Exhibit 10.11 to LP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 17, 2026.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Howald and any director, executive officer or any other person nominated or chosen by LP to become a director or executive officer. There are no related person transactions (within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) between Mr. Howald and LP.

Additionally, on May 27, 2026, Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer (“CCO”) Craig Sichling notified the Company of his intention to retire in the first half of 2027 after his successor has been named. Mr. Sichling will continue in his current role and support the transition process. The Company will conduct a comprehensive internal and external search for its next CCO to ensure strong leadership continuity and alignment with its long-term strategy.
