         Board Oversight of Risk Management

         Our Board currently has nine 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.
