. 32 TABLE OF CONTENTS BEYOND THE BOARDROOM On-Site Visits to Nitrogen Manufacturing Facilities In a typical year, most Board and committee meetings are held on-site at our headquarters or near other CF Industries facilities. Locating the Board and committee meetings on-site or near our headquarters or manufacturing locations allows our directors to deepen their understanding of the company and interact with on-site employees. In 2025, the Board plans to visit our Donaldsonville complex to see firsthand our low-carbon ammonia projects. In 2022, our director Mr. Toelle led the Board and our executive officers on a tour of his 6,000 acre farm, as well as on a tour of a nearby state-of-the-art crop input distribution and grain processing center, owned by CHS Inc., one of the company’s largest customers, expanding the Board’s understanding of farming operations, agricultural innovations and developments, and business conditions faced by farmers and other stakeholders in the agricultural industry. Director Orientation All new members of the Board participate in the company’s new director orientation program led by members of senior management. The new director orientation program enables new members of the Board to quickly become active, knowledgeable and effective Board members. Orientation includes a visit to the company’s corporate headquarters for a personal comprehensive briefing by senior management on our business, financial position, strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk management issues, compensation practices, corporate governance and key policies and our principal officers and internal and independent auditors as well as the roles and responsibilities of our directors. In addition, within a few months of joining the Board, new directors visit one of our nitrogen manufacturing facilities to see our operations in person and learn about our manufacturing processes. Continuing Education All directors are encouraged to participate in outside continuing education programs to increase their knowledge and understanding of the duties and responsibilities of directors and the company, regulatory developments and best practices. The Board materials for every corporate governance and nominating committee meeting include a schedule and summary of upcoming relevant continuing education programs, sponsored by leading universities or other organizations, with any associated expenses to be reimbursed by the company. Directors who have participated in such programs share their lessons and insights with other members of the Board. The company also provides continuing director education through individual speakers who make relevant presentations in connection with Board meetings, for our directors to stay current and knowledgeable about the company’s industry, market and overall business environment. The company’s senior management also monitors pertinent developments in business, corporate governance and issues pertaining to the company and the industries in which it participates and regularly
