Mr. Daniel L. Johnson retired as chief executive officer of M. A. Mortenson Company at the end of 2024. Mr. Johnson is currently a member of the board of directors for Mortenson, a family-owned commercial, energy, and
infrastructure construction company that provides construction-related contracting, development, and program management
services throughout North America, and is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mortenson employs more than 7,000
team members and generates in excess of $6.0 billion of annual revenues. Before assuming his role as chief executive
officer in January 2017, Mr. Johnson served as president of Mortenson from January 2015 to December 2016 and as chief
operating officer of Mortenson from 2008 to December 2014. Prior to that, he held various leadership and managerial positions
with Mortenson since joining that company in 1986. Non-residential construction customers have historically represented a
meaningful portion of Fastenal's sales, and Mr. Johnson's background in executive and managerial leadership of a major
construction company provides the board with valuable insight into and guidance regarding this important sector of Fastenal's business.
