Proposal 2: Ratification of the Selection of Independent Registered

Public Accounting Firm For Fiscal Year 2025

**Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee is responsible for the approval of all services performed by S&T’s independent registered accounting firm. All services provided by Ernst & Young in 2024 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services performed by the Independent Accountants to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the Independent Accountant’s independence. In addition, any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting for ratification. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Accountants to management.
