Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On September 25, 2026, Janus International Group, Inc. (the “Company”)

disclosed a series of independent restructuring initiatives undertaken during 2026, designed to improve operating performance, profitability,

and operational efficiency. These initiatives, undertaken in ongoing response to evolving business conditions, consist of three distinct

restructuring events.

In January 2026, the Company committed to certain cost-reduction measures,

including the consolidation of its ASTA Industries, Inc. (“ASTA”) manufacturing facility operations into its existing Janus

International Group, LLC (“Janus Core”) manufacturing facility operations, both located in Houston, Texas (the “Consolidation”).

The ASTA facility was subsequently subleased to a third party in September 2026. Further, Janus Core implemented a reduction in force.

The Company estimates that it will realize annualized cost savings of approximately $2.6 million from the Consolidation and $1.7 million

in connection with the Janus Core reduction in force, with aggregate severance and exit costs of approximately $3.1 million.

In March 2026, the Company committed to additional cost-reduction measures.

These measures included additional reductions in force at both the Company and Janus Core, as well as cost-cutting initiatives across

various business units and divisions. The Company estimates that it will realize annualized cost savings of approximately $3.8 million

from these initiatives, with aggregate severance costs of approximately $1.1 million.

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company committed to the following

measures: (i) the conversion of Janus Core’s Indiana manufacturing plant into a distribution center and a corresponding reduction

in force; (ii) the early exit of the Company’s Nokē, Inc. facility in Utah in advance of the lease expiration in November

2026; and (iii) the relocation of Kiwi II Construction, Inc. manufacturing operations from California to Arizona at Janus Core’s

existing facility. The Company estimates that it will realize annualized cost savings of approximately $2.7 million from these initiatives,

with aggregate severance costs of approximately $1.4 million.

In the aggregate, the Company estimates that these restructuring initiatives

will result in annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $10.8 million. The Company currently estimates that it will incur non-recurring

pre-tax charges of approximately $5.6 million in connection with these restructuring initiatives, primarily related to severance and other

employee-related costs, costs associated with lease obligations and other real estate-related charges. The Company expects that the majority

of these charges will be incurred by the end of the third quarter ending October 3, 2026 and that the implementation of these restructuring

initiatives will be substantially complete by the end of fiscal year ending January 2, 2027. The charges that the Company expects to incur

are subject to a number of assumptions and actual expenses may differ materially from such estimates. The Company may also incur additional

costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, these restructuring initiatives.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election

of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

September 23, 2026 (the “Grant Date”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors

of the Company approved the grant of a special, one-time award of restricted stock units to Anselm Wong, Executive Vice President and

Chief Financial Officer, Morgan Hodges, Executive Vice President, and Vic Nettie, Executive Vice President of Corporate Operations under

the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (the “Special RSU Awards”). The Special RSU

Awards granted to Messrs. Wong, Hodges, and Nettie each have a grant date value of $750,000. The Committee approved the Special RSU Awards

for the purposes of: (i) providing meaningful retention incentives for the grantees, whose retention the Committee believes to be an important

factor in driving and executing the Company’s key business strategies, and (ii) strengthening the alignment of the interests of

the grantees with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Committee approved the Special RSU Awards after considering the

advice and input of the Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

The Special RSU Awards will vest annually in three equal installments

over three years, contingent upon each grantee’s continued employment with the Company.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Special RSU Awards is

a summary only, does not purport to be a complete description, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form

of restricted stock unit agreement for awards granted under the Plan, as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

and incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered

“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report are

forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the restructuring initiatives such as expected savings

and other benefits, the timing of initiation and completion of the restructuring initiatives, and the expected costs, cash expenditures,

and charges. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, words such as “may,” “should,” “will,”

“could,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,”

“estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs of the Company’s management, based on currently available information,

as to the outcome and timing of future events, and involve factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual results in future periods

to differ materially from such statements, many of which are outside of the Company’s control.

There can be no assurance that the events, results, or trends identified

in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and

the Company is not under any obligation and expressly disclaims any obligation to update, alter, or otherwise revise any forward-looking

statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. This Current Report on Form

8-K is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in the

Company and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in the Company. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking

statements concerning the Company or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified

in their entirety by the cautionary statements above and under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recently

filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as updated from time to time in amendments and the

Company’s subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
