 are all matters considered non-routine under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore there may be broker non-votes on Proposals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. A broker non-vote will have no effect on these proposals.

#### Other Information

#### Who is paying for this solicitation?
Synopsys will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. We have retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated (Innisfree) to assist us in soliciting proxies, for which we will pay Innisfree a fee of approximately $15,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners. We will furnish copies of solicitation material to such brokerage firms and other representatives. Proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or email by our directors, officers and employees without additional compensation.

I received notice that communications to my address are being householded. What does that mean?

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (for example, brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials addressed to those stockholders. A number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders “household” our proxy materials in this manner.

If you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K or Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify your broker and our Investor Relations department in writing by email at synopsys-ir@synopsys.com or mail sent to our Secretary’s Mailing Address, attention Investor Relations. If you currently receive multiple copies of the Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy statement at your address and would like to request householding of your communications, please contact your broker, bank or other agent and our Investor Relations department in the same manner as outlined above.
