SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS (ITEMS 4 – 5)

The Board actively oversees human capital management, including our culture of nondiscrimination, inclusion, and meritocracy, and we embrace transparency through comprehensive reporting on our human capital management initiatives in our annual Sustainability & Social Impact Report, among other public disclosures. The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for monitoring and reviewing human capital management, including inclusion and belonging. The Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer briefs the Compensation Committee and the full Board on the Company’s hiring and promotions practices, including actions related to inclusion and belonging, and our Law and Human Resources organizations are collectively responsible for ensuring that our policies and actions are consistent and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. To maintain transparency and accountability, we have made robust public disclosures, including our workplace demographic data in our consolidated EEO-1report and our human capital management initiatives in our Sustainability & Social Impact Report. Producing the report sought by the proposal would be onerous, unnecessary, and inefficient. We believe our existing and substantial disclosures and reports provide our shareholders with the information they need to evaluate our human capital management initiatives and their effectiveness, as we strive to hire and promote the most qualified talent from all backgrounds. Therefore, approval of this proposal would not result in an efficient use of resources. Based on our commitment to hire, promote and retain the best talent, adherence to the law, robust Board oversight, and our comprehensive disclosures, including in our Sustainability & Social Impact Report, the Board believes that this proposal would not add value to shareholders, yet would result in the diversion of management time and resources, and is unnecessary and redundant.

| THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE  AGAINST ITEM 4. |
