/ ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING INFORMATION



          North Carolina law further provides that if the shareholders fail to elect the full authorized number of directors, a board of
          directors may fill the vacancy by electing a successor. Accordingly, Martin Marietta’s Articles of Incorporation provide that
          if a nominee is not elected by a vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that nominee’s election, the Board of
          Directors may decrease the number of Directors, fill any vacancy or take other appropriate action.

          The ratification of the selection of independent auditors, the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named
          executive officers, and any other proposal presented at the meeting, will be approved if more votes are cast by proxy or in
          person in favor of the proposal than are cast against it.

          Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted “for” or “against” any of these proposals.

          What is required to attend the meeting?
          Attendance at the Annual Meeting will be limited to our shareholders as of the record date of March 5, 2021 and their
          proxies. If you are a shareholder and plan to attend the Annual Meeting and your shares are held in street name (for
          example, if your shares are held through an account maintained by a bank or securities broker), you must present evidence
          of your stock ownership as of March 5, 2021 in order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. You can obtain this evidence
          from your bank or brokerage firm. If your shares are held in street name as of March 5, 2021 and you intend to vote your
          shares at the Annual Meeting, you must also request a legal proxy appointment from your bank, broker or other nominee
          and present that proxy appointment at the Annual Meeting’s registration desk. Whether you are a registered shareholder,
          your shares are held in street name, or you are a duly authorized proxy for a shareholder, a government-issued
          identification will be required to obtain admittance to the Annual Meeting.

          We speak to almost all of our largest shareholders each year and we rarely have any shareholders in attendance at our
          shareholders’ meetings. In addition, the proposals to be considered at the 2021 Annual Meeting are routine. For these
          reasons, we currently intend to hold the Annual Meeting in person. We are actively monitoring developments regarding
          COVID-19 and are sensitive to public health concerns and the protocols that federal, state, and local governments may
          impose. In the event that alternative arrangements for the Annual Meeting are required, we intend to promptly advise our
          shareholders. Please monitor our website, https://ir.martinmarietta.com/events-presentations, for updated information if
          you are planning to attend the Annual Meeting. To assist with logistical planning for the Annual Meeting, we request that
          shareholders planning on attending the Annual Meeting notify us by email at corporatesecretary@martinmarietta.com.
          Providing such notice is not required for attendance at the Annual Meeting and is requested solely to assist in our
          planning.

          What protocols will be in place to protect the safety of those who attend the Annual
          Meeting?

          In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, health and safety protocols will be followed at the Annual Meeting. All seating
          will be appropriately spaced to ensure proper social distancing and attendees will be required to wear a mask.

          Where can I find voting results for the Annual Meeting?
          We will announce preliminary voting results at the conclusion of the meeting and publish final results in a Current Report
          on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.
