Letter from our Independent Chair Dear Shareholders, I invite you to participate in Verisk’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will take place virtually on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. ET. You can join the live audio webcast by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VRSK2025, where you will be able to listen to the meeting, submit questions and vote. Consistent Growth, Strategic Engagement In 2024, Verisk continued to deliver strong performance consistent with our financial guidance. This success reflects the company’s focused execution on its three strategic priorities: delivering predictable growth, driving operational efficiency, and maintaining disciplined capital allocation. Heightened strategic engagement at the C-suite level with clients has deepened relationships and opened new opportunities, resulting in stronger renewals and improved customer satisfaction. Verisk continues to invest in innovation and technology, including its Core Lines Reimagine initiative and Generative AI applications, while simultaneously returning $1.3 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. As we enter 2025, Verisk remains a trusted solutions provider to the global insurance ecosystem, creating efficiencies through network connections and generating innovative solutions that address the industry’s evolving challenges with catastrophic events, regulatory changes, and technological advancement. Risk Oversight and Board Refreshment In 2024, the Board strengthened its risk oversight by forming a new Risk Committee which oversees risk assessment and risk management, reviews with management matters relating to the policies, practices and outcomes that relate to risk management such as the strategic approach to cyber and information security, and oversees Verisk’s Enterprise Risk Management function. We express our deep gratitude to Vincent Brooks and Wendy Lane, who are not being nominated for re-election and are retiring from the Board as of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Their leadership, guidance and commitment to enhancing shareholder value were invaluable during a period of significant organizational transformation for Verisk. As the Board continues to strive for the right mix of backgrounds, experience, qualifications and skills to oversee and address the key issues and opportunities facing Verisk, we are nominating two new independent directors to stand for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders: Christopher J. Perry, a seasoned executive leader at large global information services public companies with deep go-to-market and sales expertise, and Sabra R. Purtill, an experienced financial executive at leading insurance and financial services companies.

Your support is important Your vote is important. I encourage you to take a moment to vote on the items in this year’s Proxy Statement. Voting takes only a few minutes, and it will ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting. On behalf of the Verisk Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Bruce Hansen Independent Chair April 4, 2025
