(c) Appointment of New Principal Accounting Officer

Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2016 (the “Prior 8-K”), announcing that Gregory T. Jorgensen had accepted the position of Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is to amend the Prior 8-K to report that Mr. Jorgensen began employment with the Company on July 18, 2016 and that on August 15, 2016, Mr. Jorgensen was awarded 2,691 stock options and 810 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Plan.

The stock options have an exercise price of $46.31 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 15, 2016. The stock options vest in three equal annual installments over a three-year period beginning with the one-year anniversary of the grant date. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock on the date of vest, which is the three-year anniversary of the grant date. All stock option and RSU awards are subject to continued employment, except under certain conditions, and vesting shall automatically accelerate upon a Change of Control (as defined in the award agreements).

The remainder of the information contained in the Prior 8-K is not hereby amended.
