COLGATE PALMOLIVE CO

(c) Trading Plans

On August 21, 2024, Noel R. Wallace, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into a pre-arranged trading plan that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “10b5-1 Plan”). The 10b5-1 Plan provides for the sale, subject to certain price limits, of up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate and terminates on May 23, 2025, unless terminated sooner in accordance with its terms. The 10b5-1 Plan was entered into during an open insider trading window and no sales will commence under the plan until completion of the required cooling off period under Rule 10b5-1.

Mr. Wallace entered into the 10b5-1 Plan as part of his long-term asset diversification, tax and financial planning strategy. Assuming all shares subject to the 10b5-1 Plan are sold, Mr. Wallace will continue to be meaningfully invested in the Company’s stock and will continue to significantly exceed the Company’s rigorous stock ownership guidelines, which require Mr. Wallace to maintain stock ownership of at least eight times his annual base salary.

No other director or officer of the Company adopted, modified orterminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K, during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
