Stock ownership guideline: We amended our stock ownership guidelines in March 2022 to increase the value of shares of Griffon common stock expected to be acquired by each director (from three times to four times the base annual retainer fee); this amendment also lengthens the time after joining the board by which a new director is expected to acquire such value of shares, from three years to four years.
