Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares in advance online, or, if you requested printed copies of the proxy materials, by phone or by mail to ensure that your vote will be represented at the Annual Meeting.

Voting Your Shares

Your Vote is Important to Us

Regardless of whether you are planning to attend this year’s Annual Meeting, please submit your vote over the Internet, by phone or by mail by following the applicable voting instructions as soon as you can so that we can be assured of obtaining a quorum. A proxy that is signed and dated, but which does not contain voting instructions, will be voted as recommended by our Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) on each proposal.

Who Can Vote

The securities that can be voted at the Annual Meeting consist of shares of common stock of Webster with each share entitling its owner to one vote on all matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting of shares.

The Board fixed the close of business on April 1, 2025 as the record date for the determination of stockholders of Webster entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 7,916 holders of record of the 168,301,119 shares of common stock then outstanding and eligible to be voted at the Annual Meeting.

How to Vote

For shares held in “street name.” If your common stock is held by a bank, broker, or other nominee (i.e., in “street name”), you should receive instructions from that person or entity that you must follow in order to have your shares of common stock voted.
