uant to Occidental’s By-laws, in an uncontested election, directors are elected by the majority of votes cast with respect to such director, meaning that the number of votes cast “FOR” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that director. Your broker may not vote your shares on this proposal unless you give voting instructions. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, have no effect on the vote. Any director who receives a greater number of votes “AGAINST” his or her election than votes “FOR” in an uncontested election is expected to promptly tender his or her resignation following certification of the shareholder vote by the Inspector of Elections.

General Information Voting of Proxies The Board of Directors has designated Mses. Hollub and Clark, and each of them, with the full power of substitution, to vote shares represented by all properly executed proxies. The shares will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified on the proxy card. If no instructions are specified on the proxy card or if you indicate when voting on the Internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board, the shares will be voted: ► “FOR” all director nominees (see page 13 ); ► “FOR” the advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation (see page 34 ); ► “FOR” the ratification of the selection of KPMG as Occidental’s independent auditor (see page 68 ); and ► “FOR” the approval of Occidental’s Amended and Restated 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (see page 70 ). We are not aware of any matters to be presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting other than those described above. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the meeting, the proxies will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the meeting is adjourned or postponed, the proxies can vote your shares at the adjournment or postponement as well. Broker Votes If your shares are held in street name, under NYSE rules, your broker is not permitted to vote on certain proposals and may not vote on any of the proposals unless you provide voting instructions. Therefore, unless you provide specific voting instructions, your shares may not be represented or voted at the meeting. Confidential Voting Policy All proxies, ballots and other voting materials are kept confidential, unless disclosure is required by applicable law or expressly requested by you, you include written comments on your proxy card or voting instruction form
