Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials electronically instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with SEC rules, we elected to furnish our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2024 Annual Report to stockholders, primarily online. Beginning on or about April 11, 2025, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials is being mailed to our stockholders, which contains notice of the Annual Meeting and instructions on how to access our proxy materials online, how to vote online, and how to request a paper or email copy of the proxy materials. Stockholders may request to receive all future proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email

by following the instructions contained in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials online to help reduce both the impact on the environment and the administrative costs of our Annual Meetings.

What does it mean if multiple members of my household are stockholders, but we only received one Internet Notice or full set of proxy materials in the mail?

The SEC adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy proxy material delivery requirements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of the proxy materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and reduces printing and postage costs for companies. Webster and some brokers utilize the householding process for proxy materials. In accordance with a notice sent to certain stockholders who share a single address, only one copy of the proxy materials is being sent to that address, unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. Householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until one or more stockholders at your address revokes consent. If you revoke consent, you will be removed from the householding program within 30 days of receipt of the revocation. If you hold your Webster stock in “street name,” additional information regarding householding of proxy materials should be forwarded to you by your broker.

However, if you wish to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, we will promptly deliver one to you upon request sent to: Webster Financial Corporation, 200 Elm Street, Stamford,
