 However, should any of our Board’s nominees be unable or unwilling to stand for election at the time of the 2025 Annual Meeting, proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee selected by the Board, or the Board may reduce the number of directors. Pursuant to Occidental’s By-laws, in an uncontested election, the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast with respect to each director nominee will be required for the nominee to be elected, meaning that the number of votes cast “FOR” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that director. Your broker will not vote your shares on this proposal unless you give voting instructions, and abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the vote. Any nominee for director who does not receive a greater number of votes “FOR” his or her election than votes “AGAINST” in an uncontested election is expected to tender his or her resignation.
