### NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
We use a combination of cash and equity-based incentive compensation to attract and retain highly qualified non-employee directors who will best represent our stockholders’ interests. With its independent compensation consultant’s assistance, the Compensation Committee annually benchmarks director compensation against an industry peer group and considers the appropriateness of the form and amount of director compensation and the time commitment and skill level required to serve on the Board. The Compensation Committee recommends the non-employee director compensation program to the full Board for approval.

In addition, our 2016 Stock Plan limits the maximum fair market value of stock awards to be granted to a non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees payable to him or her, at $600,000 in any fiscal year. All compensation paid in fiscal 2025 to non-employee directors was significantly below this amount. See “—2025 Non-Employee Director Compensation Table” below for specific values.

A Lamb Weston employee who also serves as a director does not receive any additional compensation for serving as a director. Currently, Michael J. Smith, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the only director who is an employee. Compensation information for Mr. Smith is included under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation Tables” in this Proxy Statement.
