 Clorox Company 2025 Proxy Statement > Executive Compensation Tables | 74 |

Fiscal Year 2025 PEO Pay Ratio Under rules adopted by the SEC under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act), we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Principal Executive Officer (PEO), Ms. Rendle, to the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee. We calculated annual total compensation for that employee using the same methodology we use for our NEOs as set forth in the Summary Compensation Tablein this proxy statement.

| • | Total                                                         
 compensation for our median compensated employee was $79,721. |

| • | Our                                                    
 PEO to median compensated employee pay ratio is 167:1. |

The pay ratio reported here is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules. To identify our median compensated employee for purposes of this disclosure, we first determined the pool of all individuals employed by us, other than the PEO, on June 30, 2025. Subsequently, we reviewed the total cash compensation earned by each such individual during fiscal year 2025. All employees (full-time, part-time, and temporary) other than the PEO were included in this analysis. We did not make any assumptions, adjustments, or estimates with respect to total cash compensation and no exclusions were applied during this process. Finally, we selected our median compensated employee from that pool in accordance with SEC rules. The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions reflecting their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies, including our compensation peer group, may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. Fiscal Year 2025 Pay Versus Performance Under rules adopted by the SEC under the Dodd-Frank Act (the pay versus performance or PVP rules), we are providing the following information about the relationship between the SEC’s specified definition of pay, referred to as Compensation Actually Paid (CAP), and certain performance measures as defined by the SEC.
