Proposal 2: Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Policy for Pre-Approval of Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee of the Board has adopted policies and procedures providing for the pre-approval of audit and non- audit services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Pre-approval may be given as part of the Audit Committee’s approval on the engagement of the independent auditor or on an individual case-by-case basis before the independent auditor is engaged to provide each service. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to the Audit Committee chairperson, but the decision is subsequently reported to the full Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee of the Company is composed of three directors, each of whom meets the current independence and experience requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Audit Committee operates under a written charter which was amended and restated on March 8, 2024. A complete copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on the Company’s website at www.eastgroup.net .

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting, internal controls, and audit functions. Management is primarily responsible for the Company’s financial statements and reporting process. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company
