 because the Board of Directors of U.S. Bancorp is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares of our common stock at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on April 15, 2025, or at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. What is a proxy? It is your designation of another person to vote stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is also called a proxy or a proxy card. When you designate a proxy, you also may direct the proxy how to vote your shares. We refer to this as your “proxy vote.” By providing your proxy, you will be designating Andrew Cecere, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Kathryn V. Purdom, our Corporate Secretary, as your proxy to cast your vote in accordance with your instructions at our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. What is the purpose of the meeting? At our annual meeting, shareholders will act upon the matters outlined in the notice of annual meeting of shareholders and described in this proxy statement. Management will also report on our 2024 performance and, once the business of the annual meeting is concluded, respond to questions submitted in writing during or before the meeting.
