ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On November 11, 2025, various trusts affiliated with Lawrence Kurzius, former McCormick Chairman, President and CEO who retired from our Board as Executive Chairman on March 26, 2025 and current beneficial owner of more than five percent of the CS of the Company, sold 39,014 shares of McCormick CS as a part of McCormick's authorized share repurchase program for $2,517,964. The repurchase price per share was equal to the average of the high and low trading price of the CSNV on the date McCormick agreed to repurchase the shares.

As of November 30, 2025, approximately $414 million remained of a $600 million share repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors in November 2019. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased is determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

In certain circumstances, we issue shares of CS in exchange for shares of CSNV, or issue shares of CSNV in exchange for shares of CS, in either case pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Typically, these exchanges are made in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans, executive compensation programs and dividend reinvestment/direct purchase plans. The number of shares issued in an exchange is generally equal to the number of shares received in the exchange, although the number may differ slightly to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. During fiscal 2025, we issued 1,105,409 shares of CSNV in exchange for shares of CS and issued 24,157 shares of CS in exchange for shares of CSNV.
