 shareholders to be included in our Proxy Statement. In evaluating such nominations, the Governance Committee seeks to achieve a balance of skills, experiences, qualifications and attributes on the Board and to address the membership criteria set forth below under “ Director Qualifications.” Any shareholder recommendations proposed for consideration by the Governance Committee must include the nominee’s name and qualifications for Board membership and must be addressed to our Corporate Secretary at Elevance Health, 220 Virginia Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Following verification that the persons recommending director candidates are shareholders and verification that any other required information has been properly submitted by such persons, recommendations are aggregated and considered by the Governance Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting. If any materials are provided by shareholders in connection with the recommendation of a director candidate, such materials are forwarded to the Governance Committee.

In addition, any shareholder who wishes to nominate a director candidate at our Annual Meeting or for inclusion in our Proxy Statement may do so by following the procedures and providing the information set forth in “ Information on Voting and the Annual Meeting — Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for Next Year’s Annual Meeting” on page 82and in Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.16 of our Bylaws. Our Bylaws are available on our website at https://ir.elevancehealth.com/corporate-governance/ governance-documents/ .

#### Director Qualifications
The Governance Committee periodically evaluates the size and composition of the Board to assess the skills, experiences and attributes of Board members, and compares them with those skills, experiences and attributes that might prove valuable in the future, considering the circumstances of the Company and the then-current Board membership. On an ongoing basis, the Governance Committee will evaluate candidates who meet our strategic needs and have diverse experiences in key business, financial and other challenges that face a publicly-held health company. In evaluating director candidates (both new and continuing directors), the Governance Committee considers the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members, the candidate’s outside time commitments, conformity with any requirements of the BCBSA, the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable member of any committees of the Board and the overall makeup of the Board, as described in more detail below. We believe that an effective board consists of individuals who bring a variety of complementary skills and a range of tenures.

The Governance Committee developed and maintains a skills matrix to assist it in considering the characteristics required of each director along with the appropriate balance of skills, experiences and attributes that should be represented on the Board
