 as described in Appendix B. In 2024, our NEOs continued to take a formal goal aligned to driving AbbVie’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework. The ESG goal was weighted 10% within the short-term incentive program for each NEO. As part of this ESG goal category, all senior leaders, including the NEOs, continued to take a goal aligned to executing the equity, equality, diversity, and inclusion (EEDI) strategy. AbbVie’s senior executives have different areas of focus when it comes to driving the company’s ESG framework, and together, the executives’ ESG accomplishments under this goal cover all of AbbVie’s material ESG drivers. Example achievements under the ESG goal category in 2024 by AbbVie’s senior executives included, for example:

| ● | Over 235,000 U.S. patients were provided medicine at no cost through our patient assistance program in 2024. |

| ● | Decreased our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 26% in 2024 compared to our 2021 baseline, positioning us well to meet our 42% Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction target by 2030. |

| ● | Over 13,000 AbbVie employees in nearly 60 countries and territories donated more than 47,000 volunteer hours during AbbVie’s annual Week of Possibilities volunteer event. |

Our EEDI strategy includes specific priority areas to ensure AbbVie fosters a culture that is inclusive and innovative – in service of our people, patients, and business. 2024 progress on this strategy includes:
