The Board fixed the close of business on April 1, 2025 as the record date for the determination of stockholders of Webster entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 7,916 holders of record of the 168,301,119 shares of common stock then outstanding and eligible to be voted at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote my shares?

For shares held in “street name. ” If your common stock is held by a bank, broker, or other nominee (i.e., in “street name”), you should receive instructions from that person or entity that you must follow in order to have your shares of common stock voted.

For shares held in your own name . If you hold your common stock in your own name and not through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you may vote your shares of common stock:

• By Telephone – You can vote your shares of common stock by telephone by dialing the toll-free telephone number printed on your proxy card. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 20, 2025. Easy-to-follow voice prompts allow you to vote your shares of common stock and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to return your proxy card.

• By Internet – The website for Internet voting is printed on your proxy card. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 20, 2025. As with telephone voting, you will be given the opportunity to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote via the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card.

• By Proxy Card – You can sign, date, and mail the proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

• In Person – You can attend the Annual Meeting virtually and vote during the meeting.

Whichever of these methods you select to transmit your instructions, the proxy holders will vote your common stock in accordance with your instructions. If you give a proxy without specific voting instructions, your proxy will be voted by the proxy holders as recommended by the Board.
