STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS / COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Stock Ownership Requirements
In 2018, the Board adopted robust formal Stock Ownership Guidelines for executive officers and members of the Board of
Directors. These require the following ownership levels as a multiple of base salary or annual cash retainer, as applicable:
Annual Base
Title Salary Multiple
Chairman, President and CEO 7 times
Other Executive Officers 5 times
Other Members of the Board of Directors 5 times

The following types of equity instruments count in determining stock ownership for purposes of these guidelines:
• Shares owned separately by the covered person or owned either jointly with, or separately by, his or her immediate
family members residing in the same household;
• Shares held in trust for the benefit of the covered person or his or her immediate family members;
• Shares purchased on the open market;
• Shares obtained through stock option exercise (and not thereafter sold);
• Vested shares pursuant to RSUs;
• Unvested RSUs;
• Shares held pursuant to deferred stock unit plans for Directors or executive officers; and
• Shares acquired under the Company’s Savings and Investment Plan and similar plans or arrangements

Covered persons who are employees are expected to meet these requirements within five years of the later of becoming a
covered person and the date of adoption of the policy. Until such time as such covered person has met these
requirements, he or she is expected to retain 50% of any shares of common stock received upon vesting of RSUs, deferred
stock unit awards, PSUs, the exercise of stock options, and other similar equity awards, net of amounts withheld to pay
taxes and the exercise price of stock options until the applicable Guideline level is met.

Stock ownership does not include vested or unvested stock options, unvested PSUs and vested or unvested stock
appreciation rights.

All of the Company’s executive officers and members of the Board of Directors are in compliance with the Stock
Ownership Guidelines.
We also require a holding period of annual cash incentive compensation converted to Martin Marietta share equivalents as
described below, with vesting generally in three years. There is no additional holding period beyond the vesting date,
however a significant portion of the executive compensation program is in the form of equity awards that vest over three
years generally.
Our CEO must invest a minimum of 35% of each year’s cash bonus award in common stock units of Martin Marietta.
Executive officers must invest a minimum of 20% of their annual bonus. Stock is purchased at a 20% discount to the price
on the grant date to account for the additional risk of taking a common stock unit payment in lieu of a risk-free cash
payment. In 2020, Mr. Nye deferred the maximum of 50% of his cash bonus in common stock units.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

Our policies prohibit hedging and pledging of Martin Marietta stock by all directors and executive officers. Under our
policies, directors and executive officers may not engage in any hedging or monetization transactions, such as puts, calls,
options, other derivative securities, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds and short
sales with respect to Company stock, the purpose of which is to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of such
stock. This policy also prohibits Directors and executive officers from purchasing Company stock on margin, borrowing
against Company stock on margin, or pledging Company stock as collateral for any loan.
