COMMUNITY WELL-BEING

The community has rallied around the restoration of the school as an important landmark in its history. The school is
significant because Joppa was such a tight- knit community. The NAACP organized a protest where Melissa Pierce
students actually went to Linfield elementary school which was the white elementary school in Wilmer-Hutchins ISD, to
protest and ask for admission to Linfield Elementary.

In addition to its donation to the Melissa Pierce Project, the Company also donated the use of its street sweeper. At the
request of the local community, and although not arising due to its operations, the Company has helped keep five of the
local streets that accumulate dirt and debris clean over the past year.

Company Expands Academic Outreach by Partnering
with HBCU Shaw University

In yet another move to support education and develop the young leaders needed to ensure future success, Martin
Marietta has entered into a partnership with Shaw University, a historically Black university in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Working specifically with Shaw’s School of Business and Professional Studies, the Company has provided support in the
form of the Martin Marietta Faculty Fellowship Award. Earlier this year, Cassandra Burney, an assistant professor at Shaw,
was named the first to earn the honor, according to a statement from the university.

“The partnership bolsters Shaw’s
School of Business and Professional

Studies and deepens ties with the
Raleigh business community.”

“We are thrilled that Martin Marietta is committed to the development of a cadre of strong and dynamic faculty like Prof.
Burney,” said Dr. Lynette Wood, dean of the business school. “Corporate partnerships such as this are investments in
building futures that are sure to yield great returns.”

The Company and the university first discussed a potential partnership in early 2020 and that the agreement makes Shaw
the latest institution to receive financial support at the corporate level. “We’re proud that through the Martin Marietta
Faculty Fellowship we’ll be able to help Shaw continue its mission of advancing knowledge, facilitating student learning
and achievement, and enhancing ethical values to develop future global leaders,” Marc Santre, the Company’s Senior
Director of Talent Management said. “Through her work as an educator, Professor Burney has done much to further this
mission. She’s talented, dedicated and more than deserving of this recognition.”

As with most good partnerships, Martin Marietta’s work with colleges and universities has grown out of mutual respect
and mutual benefit. For years, the Company has provided financial assistance to such schools as West Virginia University,
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Missouri University of Science and Technology, the University of
Kentucky and the Colorado School of Mines. That level of support has led to greater recruiting opportunities at these
institutions, which in turn, has led to a steady flow of talented and diverse employees into the workforce.
