All Truist teammates and directors are required to read, understand, and comply with the Code. The Code governs our corporate conduct and covers topics including cultivating a respectful workplace, managing client relationships, and guidance for outside activities and employment. Any waiver of the Code involving an executive officer or member of the Board will be promptly disclosed on our website in accordance with applicable legal, regulatory, and New York Stock Exchange requirements. A copy of our Code is available in the “Governance and Responsibility” section of our investor relations website ( https://ir.truist.com).

Corporate Governance ETHICS HOTLINE AND REPORTING CONCERNS We value and respect the opinions and insights of teammates at all levels throughout the organization. Accordingly, Truist has several channels available for teammates and others to report ethical concerns, including concerns regarding accounting, internal controls, and auditing matters.

Acts of retaliation against teammates for reporting concerns violate the Code and are not tolerated.
