PRACTICE REGARDING TIMING OF EQUITY GRANTS / COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

considered these separate reporting relationships and compensation structures, the provision of other services to the
Company by Mercer and Marsh & McLennan (including in prior years), and the absence of any business or personal
relationship between our officers and Directors and the specific Mercer consultants advising the Company (other than the
consulting relationship with the Committee). The Committee also considered Mercer’s Global Business Standards intended
to address potential conflicts of interests with respect to their executive compensation consulting services and the other
factors required to be considered by applicable SEC and NYSE rules in approving the Committee’s engagement of Mercer
for the portion of 2020. Based on this review, the Committee did not identify that Mercer had any conflicts of interest that
would prevent Mercer from independently advising the Committee during the term of its engagement in 2020.

Practice Regarding Timing of Equity Grants

The stock purchase awards under our Incentive Stock Plan and the PSUs and RSUs awarded under our LTI program, each
as described above, were granted in 2020 at the Committee’s regularly scheduled meetings in February following the
availability of financial results for the prior year. Newly hired executive officers may, subject to the discretion of the
Committee, receive an award of RSUs as of the date of their hire. The number of such RSUs is based on the NYSE closing
price of Martin Marietta’s common stock on the date of the grant or the first date of employment, whichever is later. The
Committee’s schedule is determined several months in advance and the proximity of any awards to earnings
announcements or other market events is coincidental.

Our practice with regard to the timing of equity grants is:
• No equity award may be backdated. A future date may be used if, among other reasons, the Committee’s action occurs
in connection with a new employee who has not yet commenced employment.
• Proposed equity awards are presented to the Committee in February of each year. Off-cycle awards may be considered
in the Committee’s discretion in special circumstances, which may include hiring, retention or acquisition transactions.

In addition, our existing stock award plan prohibits repricing of stock options or paying cash for underwater stock options.

Perquisites
Martin Marietta provides executives with perquisites that the Committee believes are appropriate, reasonable and
consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable Martin Marietta to attract and retain superior employees
for key positions. The Committee periodically reviews the types and levels of perquisites provided to the NEOs. The value of
each of the NEO’s perquisites, determined in accordance with SEC rules, is included in the annual compensation set forth
in the Summary Compensation Table.

In 2020, we provided personal use of leased automobiles to NEOs. We pay for the insurance, maintenance and fuel for
such vehicles, and the value of personal mileage and use is charged to the NEO as imputed income. We make the
company-owned aircraft available to the CEO and other senior executives for business travel. If the NEO is accompanied by
his or her spouse on such trips, that use is included in the NEO’s taxable income for the year and the incremental cost, if
any, is included as “All Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table required to be included in our Proxy
Statement for that year.

Martin Marietta also provides to executive officers, as well as most other salaried employees, certain other fringe benefits
such as tuition reimbursement, airline club dues, professional society dues, and food and recreational fees incidental to
official company functions. We do not provide other perquisites, such as country club memberships or financial planning
services, to the NEOs or other employees.

Retirement and Other Benefits
In order to maintain market competitive levels of compensation, we provide retirement and other benefits to the NEOs and
other employees, including:
• Medical and dental benefits
• Life, accidental death and disability insurance
• Pension and savings plans
