          The Audit Committee Report beginning on page 35 and the Management Development and Compensation Committee
          Report beginning on page 36 do not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by

          be received by the Secretary of Martin Marietta no later than December 14, 2021 in order to be included in the Proxy
          Statement and on the Proxy Card that will be solicited by the Board of Directors in connection with that meeting. The
          inclusion of any proposal will be subject to applicable rules of the SEC. In addition, the Bylaws of Martin Marietta establish
          an advance notice requirement for any proposal of business to be considered at an Annual Meeting, including the
          nomination of any person for election as Director. In general, written notice must be received by the Secretary of Martin
          Marietta at its principal executive office, 4123 Parklake Avenue, Raleigh, North Carolina 27612, not less than 60 days nor
          more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the mailing of the preceding year’s Proxy Statement in connection with
          the Annual Meeting and must contain specified information concerning the matter to be brought before such meeting
          and concerning the shareholder proposing such a matter. Accordingly, to be considered at the 2022 Annual Meeting,
          proposals must be received by the Secretary of Martin Marietta no earlier than January 13, 2022 and no later than
          February 11, 2022. Any waiver by Martin Marietta of these requirements with respect to the submission of a particular
          shareholder proposal shall not constitute a waiver with respect to the submission of any other shareholder proposal nor
          shall it obligate Martin Marietta to waive these requirements with respect to future submissions of the shareholder
          proposal or any other shareholder proposal. Our Bylaws provide a proxy access right to permit a shareholder, or a group of
          up to 20 shareholders, owning at least 3% of our outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years, to

          be submitted to the Corporate Secretary of Martin Marietta no earlier than November 13, 2021 and no later than
          December 13, 2021. The notice must contain the information required by the Bylaws. Any shareholder desiring a copy of
          the Bylaws of Martin Marietta will be furnished one without charge upon written request to the Secretary of Martin
