        Shareholders’ Proposals for 2023 Annual Meeting
        Proposals by shareholders intended to be presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Martin Marietta must
        be received by the Secretary of Martin Marietta no later than December 14, 2022 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 2023 Annual Meeting,
        proposals must be received by the Secretary of Martin Marietta no earlier than January 13, 2023 and no later than
        February 12, 2023. 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
        nominate and include in our proxy materials director nominees constituting up to 25% of the Board of Directors or two
        Directors, whichever is greater, provided that the shareholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in
        our Bylaws. Under our Bylaws, compliant notice of proxy access Director nominations for the 2023 Annual Meeting must
        be submitted to the Corporate Secretary of Martin Marietta no earlier than November 14, 2022 and no later than
        December 14, 2022. 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
        Marietta at its principal executive office, 4123 Parklake Avenue, Raleigh, North Carolina 27612. In addition to satisfying
        the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules (once effective), shareholders
        who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Board of Directors’ nominees must provide
        notice that sets forth the information required by SEC Rule 14a-19 no later than March 13, 2023.
