On July 23, 2018, Mr. Robert Kuhns commenced service as the Vice President, Controller (principal accounting officer) of TopBuild Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

Mr. Kuhns, who is 44 years old, joined the Company from Mohawk Industries (“Mohawk”), a $10.0 billion flooring manufacturer located in Calhoun, Georgia, where he had been employed since 2007.  His most recent position with Mohawk was as senior director, assistant controller, a position he had held since 2015.  In that role, Mr. Kuhns was responsible for all of Mohawk’s corporate accounting and financial planning and analysis.  Prior to that role, Mr. Kuhns, spent two years in Modena, Italy as Mohawk’s senior director of international finance, leading the finance and accounting integration of an acquired Italian company. Mr. Kuhns’ previous assignments with Mohawk included division controller and senior director of finance for its Dal-Tile Division and division controller of Mohawk’s laminate and wood flooring business.  Prior to joining Mohawk, Mr. Kuhns worked for three years at NCH Corporation as the director, international treasury and controller of its plumbing products business.

In connection with his employment, the Company granted to Mr. Kuhns an aggregate of 1,230 shares of its restricted common stock, vesting ratably in three annual installments commencing on July 1, 2019. Mr. Kuhns is otherwise entitled to receive such benefits of employment as are generally available to the Company’s other executive officers, as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2018.

Other than as described in this Current Report on Form 8‑K, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Kuhns and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Kuhns was selected as an officer of the Company.  Since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, the Company has not engaged in any transaction, or any currently proposed transaction, in which Mr. Kuhns had or will have a direct or indirect material interest in which the amount involved exceeded or would exceed $120,000.
