Transactions with Related Persons and Control Persons

#### Related Person Transactions
The Company has a written policy approved by the Board, for the review, approval and ratification of transactions between our Company and our directors, executive officers and other related persons. A copy of the policy is available on the Investor Relations section of our website ( www.northropgrumman.com ). The policy provides for related person transactions to be reviewed in advance and approved or ratified, as applicable, by the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A related person transaction may be approved if, after reviewing the relevant facts and circumstances, the reviewing party concludes that approving the related person transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The policy defines a related person transaction as any transaction in which the Company was, is or will be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which a related person had, has or is expected to have a direct or indirect material interest. A “related person” includes:

• any of our directors, nominees for director or executive officers;

• any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock; or

#### •

#### an immediate family member of any such persons.
Under exceptional circumstances, if a related person transaction has not been approved in advance, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will recommend to the Board of Directors such action as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems appropriate, including ratification, amendment or termination of the transaction.

The policy requires each director and executive officer to complete an annual questionnaire to identify his or her related interests and to notify the Corporate Secretary of any changes in their information.

During 2024, the Company employed one family member of an executive officer who received compensation in excess of the reporting threshold. The spouse of our Corporate Vice President and President, Defense Systems, Ben Davies, was employed by the Company as a Senior Manager, Electronics Engineering, in our Mission Systems sector. She received cash compensation of approximately $182,400 and participated in the Company’s benefit plans, commensurate with her position at the Company.
