 MAJORITY VOTING STANDARDYou are entitled to cast one vote per share for each of the seven nominees. Proxies may not be voted for more than seven individuals. In an uncontested election such as this one, our Bylaws require that a nominee receive a majority of votes cast with respect to that nominee in order to be elected. Accordingly, any nominee who does not receive a majority of votes cast will be required to resign from the Board within ninety (90) days. Brokernon-votesand abstentions, if any, will not be treated as votes cast and as a result, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for this proposal. Over the past 5 years, our nominees who have stood for election have received, on average, nearly 98% votes “for” at each shareholder meeting.Our Board recommends a voteFOReach of the seven nominees➣NOMINEE CHARACTERISTICS AND SELECTIONThe Nominating Committee has primary responsibility for identifying and recommending individuals to be added to the Board and to stand for election by shareholders. Individuals identified must have the highest personal and professional integrity, demonstrated exceptional intelligence and judgment, have proven leadership skills, be committed to our success, have the requisite skills necessary to advance our long-term strategy, and have the ability to work effectively with our Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Board. In addition, the Nominating Committee assesses the contribution that a particular candidate’s skills and expertise will make with respect to guiding our strategy and management when considered as a whole with the skills and expertise of other trustees.The chart below highlights some of the key qualifications and experience that our Board believes are relevant to the effective oversight of the Company and the execution of our long-term strategy and were considered as relevant for each nominee. The absence of a mark for an attribute for any nominee does not necessarily mean that the nominee does not possess that attribute; it means only that when the Board considered that nominee in the overall context of the composition of our Board, that attribute was not a key factor in the determination to nominate that individual. Further information on each nominee’s qualifications and relevant experience is provided in the individual biographical descriptions below starting on page 14.Federal Realty2025 Proxy Statement 11
