A copy of the transcript for the video can be found below and may be used in whole or in part in additional communications by NSC: How to Vote Video Transcript: The election of directors at the upcoming annual meeting of Norfolk Southern shareholders represents an especially important vote this year. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Alan Shaw, Norfolk Southern is successfully executing a balanced strategy that has put the company on a clear path to deliver exceptional service, lead the industry in safety, enhance productivity, and drive sustainable shareholder value creation. An activist hedge fund, Ancora, is attempting to take control of your company by replacing a majority of your board and installing a new management team actions which would introduce significant risks to the business and disrupt the work we have underway. Norfolk Southern has mailed shareholders proxy materials relating to the annual meeting including a WHITE proxy card or WHITE voting instruction form (both of which we refer to as your WHITE proxy card). (If you consented to email delivery, please keep an eye on your inbox!) Voting is easy, and you can vote electronically or by mail! To vote electronically, you may : 1) Access the website indicated on your WHITE proxy card by typing its address into your browser.You will be asked to provide the control number shown on the WHITE proxy card. 2) Your WHITE proxy card may show a QR code. In that case, you can scan the QR code and access the voting site without entering the control number. 3) If you receive your Norfolk Southern proxy materials by email, you can simply click the VOTE NOW button displayed in the email. Make sure that the email relates to the WHITE proxy card. Please note the deadline for electronic voting indicated on your WHITE proxy card. For most shareholders, you must submit electronic votes no later than 11:59 PM ET on May 8, 2024, but depending on how you hold your shares (through an employee plan for example), the plan trustee or your custodian may indicate an earlier deadline. To vote by mail, please mark, sign, date and return the WHITE proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. Please remember to vote FOR ONLY Norfolk Southerns 13 nominees on the WHITE proxy card. If you mark FOR for more than 13 nominees, your vote with respect to election of directors will be invalid and will not be counted. We urge you to discard any blue proxy materials you may receive from Ancora. However, if you mistakenly vote using the blue proxy card, you can always cancel that vote by using the WHITE proxy card to vote againelectronically or by mail. Only your latest dated vote will count! Remember, your vote is extremely important, no matter how many shares you own. If you hold your shares in more than one account, please be sure to vote with respect to each account.
