(a)The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

(b)The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in the same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; and (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:


Year	Year End Fair Value of Equity Awards	Year over Year Change in Fair Value of Outstanding and Unvested Equity Awards	Fair Value as of Vesting Date of Equity Awards Granted and Vested in the Year	Year over Year Change in Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in Prior Years that Vested in the Year	Fair Value at the End of the Prior Year of Equity Awards that Failed to Meet Vesting Conditions in the Year	Total Equity Award Adjustments

TSR is calculated by taking the difference between the ending value of the investment, which includes reinvestment of dividends, less the value at the beginning of the measurement period divided by the value at the beginning of the measurement period. Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the peer group selected by the Compensation & Human Capital Committee for purposes of benchmarking compensation, which included the following 24 companies for 2025: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.; Albemarle Corporation; Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc.; Ball Corporation; Cabot Corporation; Celanese Corporation; CF Industries Holdings, Inc.; Dover Corporation; Eagle Materials Inc.; Eastman Chemical Company; Ecolab Inc.; FMC Corporation; Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc.; Lennox International Inc.; Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.; Masco Corporation; NewMarket Corporation; Newmont Corporation; Owens Corning; Packaging Corporation of America; Summit Materials, Inc.; The Mosaic Company; The Timken Company; and Westlake Corporation. For 2025, Minerals Technologies Inc. was removed from the peer group for pre-established revenue and market capitalization comparability reasons. For 2023, Albemarle Corporation and FMC Corporation were added to our peer group and Armstrong World Industries, Inc. and Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc. were removed from the peer group for pre-established revenue comparability reasons. U.S. Concrete, Inc. and W.R. Grace & Co. were removed from our peer group for 2023 due to their recent acquisitions. The dollar amounts reported represent the net earnings attributable to Vulcan reflected in the company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Non-GAAP Measure Description

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted for certain items to provide a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period. We provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in Annex A to this proxy statement. While the company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the company’s compensation programs, the company has determined that Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure that, in the company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the company to link compensation actually paid to the company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to company performance.
