-laws for nominating individuals to serve as directors, which are discussed in this proxy statement under the heading “Shareholder Proposals” below. Communications with our board of directors Our board of directors has established the following process for shareholders to communicate with it, and this process has been approved by a majority of our independent directors. Shareholders wishing to communicate with our board of directors should send correspondence to the attention of Chairman of the Board, CRA International, Inc., 200 Clarendon Street, T-9, Boston, Massachusetts 02116. The correspondence should include satisfactory evidence that the sender of the communication is one of our shareholders. Satisfactory evidence would include, for example, contemporaneous correspondence from a brokerage firm indicating the identity of the shareholder and the number of our shares held by the shareholder. Our chairman reviews all correspondence confirmed to be from shareholders and decides whether or not to forward the correspondence, or a summary of it, to our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors. The decision to relay any correspondence to our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors rests entirely within our chairman’s discretion. Our board of directors believes this process suffices to handle the relatively low volume of communications we have historically received from our shareholders. If the volume of communications increases sufficiently to become burdensome to our chairman, our board of directors may elect to adopt more elaborate screening procedures. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS Review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons Under our audit committee’s charter, the committee is responsible for reviewing any proposed related-person transaction, as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and, if appropriate, approving the transaction. A copy of our audit committee charter is available through the Investor Relations page of our website at www.crai.com. We did not engage in any transactions with related persons in fiscal 2024. 11
