Proposal 1 - Election of Directors Nominees for Election to the Board of Directors Tenet’s Board of Directors is elected annually by our shareholders. Our nominees for election include 12 independent directors and our Chief Executive Officer. The Board has selected the nominees that follow to serve as directors until the 2026 annual meeting, or until their successors are elected or appointed. Each of the nominees was last elected by the Company’s shareholders at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders. The nominees for director will be elected if the votes cast for the nominee exceed the votes cast against the nominee, with abstentions and broker non-votesnot counted either for or against a nominee.

| The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election
