 Compensation Committee and approving any such consultant’s or advisor’s fees and other terms of engagement, including determinations regarding any conflicts of interest with such consultants or advisors.

The Compensation Committee may delegate its responsibilities to subcommittees comprised of one or more committee members or to selected members of management, subject to requirements of our bylaws and applicable laws, regulations and the terms of our stock plan.

#### Compensation Consultant to the Committee
The Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant to assist it in evaluating executive compensation programs and advise it regarding the amount and form of executive and director compensation. It uses a consultant to provide additional assurance that our executive and director compensation programs are reasonable, competitive and consistent with our objectives.

The Compensation Committee has retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“F.W. Cook”) as its independent compensation consultant. During fiscal 2025, F.W. Cook provided the Compensation Committee advice and services, including:

• regularly participating in Compensation Committee meetings including executive sessions that exclude management;

• consulting with the Compensation Committee Chair and being available to consult with other committee members between committee meetings;

• providing competitive market information for executive positions and evaluating how the compensation we pay the NEOs (as described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”) relates both to Lamb Weston’s performance and to how the competitive market compensates executives;

• analyzing “best practices” and providing advice about the design of the annual and long-term incentive plans, including selecting performance metrics;

• advising on the composition of competitive market information for benchmarking pay and performance;

• updating the Compensation Committee on executive compensation trends, issues and regulatory developments; and

Cook provides to it on executive and non-employee director compensation. The Compensation Committee considered the specific independence factors adopted by the SEC and NYSE and determined that F.W. Cook is independent and F.W. Cook’s work did not raise any conflicts of interest.
