The Board has determined that all members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent directors under the applicable rules and listing standards currently prescribed by the New York Stock Exchange. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held four regular meetings during the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, Emer Gunter serves as ESG Liaison between the N&CG Committee and senior management.

The responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are set forth in the current Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, which is available on the Company’s website (www.american-vanguard.com), and include:

Stockholder Recommendations

Such recommendation should describe the candidate’s qualifications and other relevant biographical information and provide confirmation of the candidate’s consent to serve as director.

Stockholders may also nominate directors at the Annual Meeting by adhering to the advance notice procedure described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.
