             Board Oversight of Risk Management
             Our Board currently has ten independent members and only one non-independent member, Mr. Nye. A number of our
             independent Board members are serving or have served as members of senior management of other public companies,
             have served as directors of other public companies, and otherwise have experience and/or educational backgrounds
             that we believe qualify them to effectively assess risk. Each of our Board Committees, including our Audit, Management
             Development and Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, are comprised solely of
             independent Directors, each with a different independent Director serving as Chair of the Committee (other than the
             Executive Committee, which does not meet on a regular basis).

             The Board has overall responsibility for oversight of risk management. The Board believes that an effective risk
             management system will accomplish the following goals:

             The Board delegates certain responsibilities to the Committees to assist in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. Each
             of the Committees reports regularly to the full Board of Directors as to actions taken and topics discussed. In addition,
             the Board regularly reviews with management the most significant risks facing Martin Marietta, the probabilities of
             those risks occurring, the steps taken to mitigate any impact of risks, and management’s general risk management
             strategy. This risk management approach includes consideration of risks and opportunities relating to climate change,
             sustainability and other ESG matters. In addition, the Board encourages management to promote a corporate culture
             that incorporates risk management into Martin Marietta’s day-to-day operations.
