PYXUS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

As stated in the charter, it is the responsibility of the ESGN Committee to identify and evaluate candidates to serve on the Board. The ESGN Committee reviews the qualifications of incumbent directors and reviews potential conflicts of current and prospective Board members. Candidates for prospective membership on the Board may be identified through a variety of means, including professional or personal contacts of directors, shareholder recommendations or a third-party firm engaged in the recruitment of directors. The ESGN Committee may, but is not required to, engage the services of a third party to assist in the recruitment of directors, as necessary.

Candidates are assessed by the ESGN Committee in view of the responsibilities and qualifications set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines. Candidate assessment begins with a review of the candidate’s background, education, experience and other qualifications. Qualified candidates not then serving on the Board will meet, either individually or collectively, with the Chairperson of the Board, the Chair of the ESGN Committee and other directors, as appropriate, prior to being recommended for election to the Board. An invitation to join the Board of Directors is extended only after a candidate’s qualifications have been reviewed by the ESGN Committee, the ESGN Committee has recommended the candidate to the Board for approval and the Board has approved the candidate’s election by a majority vote. Invitations are extended on behalf of the Board by the Chairperson or, in the absence of the Chairperson, by a director as designated by the Board.

The ESGN Committee will consider candidates for director who are recommended by shareholders. Shareholders who wish to suggest a candidate for nomination should send a written statement addressed to Pyxus International, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 6001 Hospitality Court, Suite 100, P. O. Box 2009, Morrisville, North Carolina 27560. See the paragraph entitled “Shareholder Nominations - 2027 Annual Meeting” for guidelines specific to such communications.
