Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Hayward Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 19, 2022 (the “Annual Meeting”). The results for each matter voted on by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

Each of the nominees was elected as a director for a term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders by a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders.

Based on the foregoing vote, the Company’s stockholders recommended that future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers be held every year. Based on the foregoing voting results and consistent with the Board of Directors’ recommendation, once an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers is required to be held at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors has determined to hold such advisory vote every year until the next advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers is submitted to the stockholders or the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the Company.
