        Ongoing Corporate Governance Policies
        We endeavor to maintain good corporate governance standards relating to our executive compensation policies and
        practices, including the following that were in effect during 2023 that directly impacted compensation:
        • The Committee is comprised solely of independent Directors who regularly schedule and meet in executive sessions
          without management present.

        • The Committee’s independent compensation consultant is retained directly by the Committee.
        • The Committee conducts an annual review of and approves our compensation strategy, including a review of our
          compensation-related risk profile, to ensure that our compensation-related risks are not reasonably likely to have a
          material adverse effect on the Company.
        • We pay for performance, with approximately 90% of our CEO’s total target pay opportunity being performance-based
          “at-risk” compensation.
        • We cap PSU payments at target if three-year TSR is negative, regardless of our ranking.
        • We limit perquisites and other benefits.

        Compensation Decision Process

        Role of Management and the Committee
        The Committee is responsible for carrying out the philosophy and objectives of the Board of Directors related to executive
        compensation in addition to its responsibilities of overseeing the development and succession of executive management of
        Martin Marietta. The Committee has the authority to determine compensation and benefits for Martin Marietta’s executive
        officers. The Committee members are each non-employee, independent Board members pursuant to the NYSE rules, and
        the Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which can be viewed on Martin Marietta’s website at
        ir.martinmarietta.com/corporate-governance.

        The performance of the CEO and each other executive officer is reviewed regularly by the Committee. Based on this
        review, the Committee sets compensation for all executive officers. Compensation decisions with respect to the executive
        officers other than the CEO are based in part on recommendations by the CEO, with input from the Senior Vice President
        and Chief Human Resource Officer, with respect to salary adjustments and annual cash and equity awards. The Committee
        can accept, reject or modify any recommended adjustments or awards to executive officers. For the CEO, the Committee
        sets the levels of annual adjustments and awards based on the criteria it deems to be appropriate under the circumstances
        with input from the independent compensation consultant. There are no employment agreements between Martin
        Marietta and any executive officer of Martin Marietta, including the CEO.
