ADVANCE AUTO PARTS INC

We evaluate our pay practices and executive compensation program annually. We value the feedback of our stockholders, and in addition to considering the prior year’s say-on-pay voting results, we proactively engage in outreach with many of our stockholders to solicit their input on a wide range of topics, including executive compensation. We consider any feedback provided by our stockholders, including the prior year’s say-on-pay results and the advice of our compensation consultant with respect to current peer practices, broader market trends and best practices as we determine how to best incentivize and reward executive performance.

At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,93.7% of the votes cast approved our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee considered the outcome of that advisory vote to reflect approval of the Compensation Committee’s approach to compensation policies and decisions.
