How do I vote if my shares are held in the U.S. Bank 401(k) Savings Plan? If you hold any shares in the U.S. Bank 401(k) Savings Plan, you are receiving, or being provided access to, the same proxy materials as any other shareholder. However, your proxy vote will serve as voting instructions to the plan trustee. Your voting instructions must be received at least five days prior to the annual meeting in order to count. In accordance with the terms of the plan, the trustee will vote all of the shares held in the plan in the same proportion as the actual proxy votes submitted by plan participants at least five days prior to the annual meeting. Why did I receive a notice regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a printed copy of the proxy materials? In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, we are furnishing our proxy materials to our shareholders primarily over the Internet instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each shareholder. By doing so, we reduce costs and lessen the environmental impact of our proxy solicitation. On or about March 5, 2025, we mailed a notice of Internet availability of the proxy materials to most of our shareholders. The notice contains instructions about how to access our proxy materials and vote online. This notice is not a proxy card and cannot be used to vote your shares. If you received a notice but would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions on the notice. Who is entitled to vote at the meeting? The Board has set February 18, 2025, as the record date for the annual meeting. If you were a shareholder at the close of business on February 18, 2025, you are entitled to vote at the meeting. As of the record date, 1,558,010,529 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and, therefore, eligible to vote at the meeting.
