How can I receive a paper copy of the proxy materials?

Instead of mailing a printed copy of this Proxy Statement and accompanying materials to each shareholder of record, we have elected to provide a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice) as permitted by the rules of the SEC. The Notice instructs you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials and how you may provide your proxy. If you would like to receive a printed or electronic copy of this Proxy Statement and accompanying materials, you must follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice.

Will I have an opportunity to ask questions before or during the Annual Meeting?

Shareholders entitled to vote will be able to submit questions relevant to the business of the meeting during the meeting via www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NOC2025 by typing the question into the "Ask a Question" box and clicking “Submit.” In order to ask a question, shareholders will need to have a valid voting control number. You may also submit a question in advance of the meeting at www.proxyvote.com by logging in with the 16-digit voting control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form, Notice, or email notification. Once you are past the login screen, click on “Questions for Management,” type in your question and click “Submit.” All questions should relate to the official business of the meeting, and management and shareholder proposals in particular. Management will seek to answer questions at the relevant time, when the proposal or matter is up for consideration.
