 Although the live webcast is available only to stockholders at the time of the meeting, a replay of the meeting is made publicly available on the Company’s investor relations website. For more information about the virtual stockholder meeting, see “Information About The Annual Meeting And Voting.” Investor Meeting We hold our annual Investor Meeting (“Investor Meeting”) in January or February of each year. At the Investor Meeting, our CEO and CFO and other members of the executive leadership team discuss the previous quarter and year-endresults and provide an update on our strategy and the financial outlook for our upcoming fiscal year. The Investor Meeting is an important opportunity for investors to have access to our management team and provides a deeper understanding of, and direct insight into, our business, strategy, and outlook, as well as any other important topics. Year-Round Engagement Our stockholder engagement practices and controls, which are designed to support our commitment to constructive communications between our stockholders and the independent directors, include the ability of our stockholders to cast an annual advisory vote on executive compensation (“say-on-pay”),the ability to submit stockholder proposals and recommend candidates for election to our Board, and the ability to communicate directly with our Board of Directors. We also engage with our stockholders throughout the year. Our comprehensive stockholder engagement program includes, in addition to the Annual Stockholder Meeting and Investor Meeting, earnings calls and post-earnings communications, conference presentations and meetings, individual meetings and responses to investor inquiries. The multi-faceted nature of our program allows us to maintain meaningful engagement with our broad investor community, including advisory firms. We value our stockholders’ feedback and are committed to engaging in constructive and meaningful dialogue with stockholders throughout the year, including with respect to our performance, governance practices, executive compensation, and the Board’s oversight of risk, strategy, talent and sustainability matters. In 2024, we engaged with a number of stockholders, and topics discussed included our executive compensation program, governance practices, Board education, risk management, political contributions, and sustainability. Meetings regarding those matters were led by our CFO, with support from various subject matter experts within the Company, including our General Counsel, and in some instances a Board member. In addition, we hosted numerous investor meetings on our business performance, category performance, and competitive actions. Those meetings were attended at times by both our CEO and CFO or with our CFO and an investor relations representative. Maintaining a disciplined approach to the discussions and allowing adequate meeting time ensures that matters important to stockholders are not neglected in favor of
