 Board members, management and stockholders. The Governance Committee will consider any candidate a stockholder properly presents for election to the Board in accordance with the procedures set forth in our bylaws. The Governance Committee uses the same criteria to evaluate a candidate suggested by a stockholder as the Governance Committee uses to evaluate a candidate it identifies, which are described above under “Item 1. Election of Directors—Director Nomination and Qualification,” and makes a recommendation to the Board regarding the candidate’s appointment or nomination for election to the Board. After the Board’s consideration of the candidate suggested by a stockholder, our Corporate Secretary will notify that stockholder whether the Board decided to appoint or nominate the candidate. For a description of how stockholders may nominate a candidate for the Governance Committee to consider for election to the Board at an annual meeting, see “2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders” in this Proxy Statement.

If a potential candidate is identified, the Governance Committee will determine whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. This determination is based on whether additional Board members are necessary or desirable. It is also based on whether, in light of the information provided or otherwise available to the Governance Committee, the prospective nominee is likely to satisfy the director qualifications and other factors described above under “Item 1. Election of Directors—Director Nomination and Qualification.” If the Governance Committee determines that additional consideration is warranted, it may request a third-party search firm or other third party to gather additional information about the prospective nominee. The Governance Committee may also elect to interview a candidate. After completing its evaluation process, the Governance Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board.

Stockholders wishing to submit candidates for election as directors must notify our Corporate Secretary in writing by delivering or mailing a notice to our principal executive offices at 599 S. Rivershore Lane, Eagle, Idaho 83616. Such submissions must comply with the requirements set forth in our bylaws, including advance notice procedures.

If a stockholder or group of stockholders wishes to nominate a candidate directly, they may also do so in accordance with the provisions set forth in our bylaws. Specifically, our bylaws permit any stockholder, or group of up to 20 stockholders collectively, owning at least 3% of the outstanding shares of Lamb Weston common stock continuously for at least three years, to nominate director candidates for inclusion in our proxy materials. A stockholder or stockholders, as applicable, can nominate up to the greater
