<sup>1</sup> The Trustee of the Polaris Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan is Fidelity Management Trust Company. The ESOP allows plan participants to direct voting of shares allocated to their plan accounts, and all shares held by the ESOP and reported on this Schedule are allocated to plan participant accounts. Under the ESOP as in effect on December 31, 2022 and the applicable trust agreement, the Trustee is to vote shares with respect to which no voting instructions are received from plan participants in proportion with the voting instructions actually received by the Trustee from participants who give voting instructions. The ESOP also specifies that all investments of plan assets in Polaris common stock are to be made by the Trustee only upon direction of the Polaris Retirement Plan Committee. Although the Trustee may theoretically be deemed to share, at least temporarily, voting and dispositive power as to all shares reported on this Schedule, the Trustee disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by it in its capacity as Trustee of the ESOP.
