    * Messrs. Richard Sands and Robert Sands are the nominees of WildStar pursuant to the Reclassification Agreement. Management does not anticipate that any of the nominees will become unavailable to serve for any reason, but if that should occur before the Meeting, proxies will be voted FOR another nominee or nominees to be selected by the Board, subject to WildStar’s right pursuant to the Reclassification Agreement to designate a replacement for its nominees. Evaluation and Selection Process for Director Nominees The Board selects director candidates based on the recommendation of the CGNR Committee. This committee has developed, and the Board has adopted, the Corporate Governance Guidelines which include provisions relating to composition and operation of the Board, and the Board’s interaction with management. This committee is responsible for developing lists of desirable director candidates, screening prospective candidates, sharing information concerning the candidates and the process with the Board, and soliciting input from other members of the Board. The Board continually reviews its composition to identify the skills needed for our Company both in the near term and into the future. Ongoing strategic board succession planning, along with our compulsory retirement age for directors who joined the Board after June 2002, help ensure that the Board continues to maintain an appropriate mix of objectivity, skills, and experiences to provide fresh perspectives and effective oversight and guidance to

    management, while leveraging the institutional knowledge and historical perspective of our longer-tenured directors. Historically, the CGNR Committee has used independent third-party search firms to help identify, evaluate, and conduct due diligence on potential director candidates. Using a professional search firm supports the CGNR Committee in conducting a broad search designed to develop a desirable pool of potential candidates. The CGNR Committee also considers recommendations made by the members of the Board, as well as input and feedback provided to the Board by stockholders, stockholder advocacy groups, and proxy advisors on matters related to board composition (including board size, inclusivity, skill set, and leadership). The CGNR Committee and the Board apply equal rigor in making nomination decisions for directors standing for re-election as they do in evaluating prospective candidates to join the Board, subject to the requirements of the Reclassification Agreement to nominate or appoint WildStar designees. Our Board expects individual directors to allot sufficient time and attention to Company matters. The CGNR Committee conducts an annual review of director and committee leadership time commitments covering various categories to assess that each director has sufficient time to commit to his or her service on the Board and its committees.

    (1)Based on self-disclosed demographic information as of June 3, 2025. The Board is also committed to a diversified membership, in terms of both the individuals involved and their various experiences and areas of expertise, as it believes this benefits our international business as well as reflecting our consumers and the communities where we live and work. Director Independence The Board has adopted and reviews its Corporate Governance Guidelines on an annual basis. These guidelines, which were most recently revised in October 2024, require the CGNR Committee and the Board to review all relationships between the Company and directors or director nominees when determining whether certain relationships between our directors and the Company or its subsidiaries are “material relationships” for purposes of the NYSE independence standards. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our investor relations website at https://ir.cbrands.com under the section entitled “Governance Documents.” In April 2025, the Board reviewed the independence of each incumbent director and director nominee. Based on the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the recommendation of the CGNR Committee, the Board has affirmatively determined that none of the following directors and director nominees had any material relationship with the Company and are therefore independent: Christopher J. Baldwin, Christy Clark, Jennifer M. Daniels, Nicholas I. Fink, William Giles, Ernesto M. Hernández, José Manuel Madero Garza, Daniel J. McCarthy, and Luca Zaramella. Accordingly, each director and director nominee, other than William A. Newlands, Richard Sands, and Robert Sands, is independent. Therefore, following the Meeting, assuming all of the nominated directors are elected, the Board will consist of twelve directors, nine of whom will be independent. The Board also assessed the independence of Judy A. Schmeling who served on the Board during Fiscal 2025 and determined that she was independent for her tenure on the Board. In determining the independence of each director, the Board considered and deemed immaterial to the directors’ independence transactions involving the sale of products and services in the ordinary course of business between the Company and companies or organizations at which some of our directors were directors, officers, or employees. In each case, the amount paid to or received from these companies or organizations in each of the last three years was determined to be immaterial. Specifically, for Mr. Baldwin, the Board considered a very small commercial relationship for products and services with certain of the portfolio companies of CVC Advisors (U.S.) Inc. over the past three fiscal years. Mr. Baldwin is a Managing Partner of CVC. The Board determined that this relationship did not impair the independence of the director.

    Director Compensation The CGNR Committee advises the Board with regard to compensation of non-management directors. The CGNR Committee directly engaged FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant to assist with such matters during Fiscal 2025. Management personnel within the Human Resources Department support the CGNR Committee and the Board in their work concerning non-management director compensation. Executive officers may make recommendations or provide information to, or answer questions from, the CGNR Committee and the Board regarding non-management director compensation. Mr. Newlands, who is also an executive officer of the Company, receives no additional compensation for serving as a director. Our compensation program for non-management members of the Board currently runs on an annual cycle starting with the first Board meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and includes compensation in the form of cash, RSUs, and NQSOs. As part of the annual compensation review process, our director compensation program was reviewed by FW Cook in July 2024. In light of developments in the Company’s competitive positioning and the Committee’s historical biennial cycle for reviewing the director compensation program, FW Cook proposed the following change to the program: •A $5,000 increase in the annual cash retainer for service as the Chair of the Audit Committee. In FW Cook’s review and recommendation in July 2024 to make the above adjustment to the director compensation program, FW Cook informed the CGNR Committee that the structure of our director compensation program continues to be generally aligned with peer group policy and broader market practices. FW Cook’s recommendation was reviewed and approved by the Board at its July 17, 2024 meeting. For the annual cycle starting with the first Board meeting immediately following the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our annual compensation program for non-management directors consisted of:

    * All annual cash retainers are payable in quarterly installments. On July 17, 2024, non-management directors were granted: •734 NQSOs to purchase Class 1 Stock at an exercise price of $248.23 that are exercisable for a ten-year period. These options vested six months from the grant date, subject to earlier vesting in the event of death, disability, or a change-in-control of the Company; and •503 RSUs, which vest on the first July 10th following the grant date, subject to earlier vesting in the event of death, disability, or a change-in-control of the Company. Mr. Baldwin also received a pro-rated grant of NQSOs and RSUs on March 1, 2024 for his Board service commencing on March 1, 2024 through July 2024. We reimburse our non-management directors for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and Board committee meetings. For the 2024 calendar year, we made an annual $10,000 cash payment to each of our non-management directors to be used towards purchases of our products. In certain limited instances, we may also provide product samples to our non-management directors to enable them to become stronger brand ambassadors. We also maintain two charitable matching programs pursuant to which we will match

    Non-Management Director Stock Ownership Guidelines The Board has established guidelines for the amounts of our common stock that our non-management directors should beneficially own. Under those guidelines, directors are expected to hold stock interests valued at five times their annual cash retainer by the end of an initial five-year accumulation period and to maintain such an ownership level thereafter. The five-year period is measured from the date the individual is first elected as a member of the Board. The ownership guidelines can be satisfied by the ownership of stock or unvested RSUs. Unexercised stock options do not count towards meeting the guidelines. As of the Record Date, each of our non-management directors had met the stock ownership guideline or was within the initial five-year accumulation period for doing so, except for Mr. Madero due to mandatory share withholding in connection with the vesting of his RSUs.

    of the FCF target. Based on the Fiscal 2025 results, Messrs. Newlands, Hankinson, and Bourdeau received AMIP payments at approximately 72% of the target awards set by the Committee. Mr. Sabia had a portion of his AMIP measured against Beer Division performance and Mr. Glaetzer had a portion of his AMIP measured against Wine & Spirits Division performance. Therefore, the Committee also reviewed the performance of these divisions against their respective performance goals under the Fiscal 2025 AMIP. For Fiscal 2025: •The Beer Division achieved approximately 97% of its Net Sales target performance level and approximately 99% of its Comparable EBIT target. •The Wine & Spirits Division achieved approximately 92% of its Net Sales target performance level and approximately 92% of its Comparable EBIT target. Based on such performance, Mr. Sabia received approximately 79% of his target award and Mr. Glaetzer received approximately 56% of his target award. More detail on the relevant performance goals and related payouts are discussed below under the heading “Short-Term Cash Incentives: Fiscal 2025 AMIP.” PSU Performance Period Ending in Fiscal 2025 In April 2025, the Committee reviewed our results for the Fiscal 2023 - 2025 performance period for purposes of certifying performance pursuant to the relative TSR PSU awards granted in April 2022. In April 2025, the Committee certified relative TSR achievement for these PSU awards at the 16th percentile relative to the companies in the S&P 500 Index. No share units were earned based this performance:

  67. What Are Our Compensation Practices?

    | What We Do | What We Don’t Do | | •The majority of executive compensation is variable and “at risk” | •We do not pay dividends on any unvested RSUs or unearned PSUs. Dividend equivalents are only payable on such awards to the extent the awards ultimately vest and are earned | | •The Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, approves all elements of executive compensation | •We prohibit pledging by executive officers and directors (subject to an exception for certain levels of pledging by members of the Sands family nominated by WildStar to the Board) | | •The Committee retains an external, independent compensation consultant to advise it regarding executive compensation matters | •We prohibit hedging using derivative securities involving our stock | | •We maintain robust stock ownership guidelines (six times base salary for our President and Chief Executive Officer and three times base salary for all other executive officers) that we believe align management and stockholder interests | •We do not provide for excise tax gross-ups in connection with change-in-control events or terminations. | | •We have a clawback policy that complies with the final rules promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act, as described below under the subheading “Clawback Rights and Prohibition Against Hedging and Pledging” | | | •Equity awards vest upon a qualifying termination within a specified period following a change-in-control (double-trigger) | |

  68. What Are Our Compensation Practices?

    Practices Related to Granting Equity Awards The Committee and the Board do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information. Similarly, the Company does not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates. The Committee and the Board generally adhere to the following equity grant practices: •The Committee typically grants equity awards, including stock options, to executive officers and other employees at its regularly scheduled meetings. •The Committee typically approves the annual equity grant to global employees, including our executive officers, in April of each year. The grant date for the annual equity grant is typically the day that is two trading days following the date that our Form 10-K is filed with the SEC. •If the Committee makes an award determination for an executive officer at any other regularly scheduled meeting, the grant date for such award(s) is generally the day that is two trading days following the date that a Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC following such meeting. •In connection with off-cycle equity grants to executive officers, including for new hires or promotions, the Committee may grant equity awards at a special meeting or via unanimous consent during periods in which the Company is not in possession of material nonpublic information. •The Committee has delegated to the Chief Human Resources Officer the ability to grant equity awards to employees who are not executive officers or directors of the Company, within certain limitations and parameters and subject to internal approvals and reporting requirements established and monitored by the Committee. Such equity awards are typically granted on the first trading day of each month without regard to whether the Company is in possession of material nonpublic information on the date of grant. •The Board typically approves the annual equity grant to our non-management directors immediately following our annual meeting of stockholders, provided that the Company is not in possession of material nonpublic information on the date of grant. •In connection with off-cycle equity grants to non-management directors, including for newly elected directors who commence service outside of the annual meeting timeframe, the Board may grant equity awards at a special meeting or via unanimous consent during periods in which the Company is not in possession of material nonpublic information. Results of Fiscal 2024 Say-on-Pay Vote At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we conducted an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the 2024 Proxy Statement (a “say-on-pay” vote). Our stockholders approved our named executive officer compensation at that time, with approximately 97% of the vote cast in favor of approval. The Committee believes that the outcome of the say-on-pay vote confirms that our compensation philosophy is sound and our objective of linking our executives’ compensation to achieving operational goals and generating stockholder value is effective. We view this level of support as an affirmation of our current pay practices.

  69. How Are Compensation Decisions Made?

    Role of Management Management personnel within our Human Resources Department support the Committee in its work. Executive officers may make recommendations and provide information to, and answer questions from, the Committee as the Committee fulfills its responsibilities regarding executive compensation. However, none of our named executive officers make recommendations directly to the Committee regarding their own compensation. Role of the Compensation Consultant The Committee directly engaged FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant for Fiscal 2025. For Fiscal 2025, FW Cook assisted with the Committee’s review and analysis of executive compensation and provided information on executive compensation trends and regulatory developments. FW Cook also provided data and advice related to peer group and general executive compensation survey data, which the Committee used as a market check in connection with its compensation decisions. During Fiscal 2025, those decisions included the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, base salary adjustments, adjustments to AMIP and long-term equity incentive targets for our other named executive officers, and Committee deliberations on other elements of executive compensation. As discussed above under the subheading “The Role of Compensation Consultants,” the Committee has considered the independence of FW Cook and, based on such review, has not identified any conflicts of interest regarding the services of FW Cook or its employees. Use of Executive Compensation Peer Group When designing our executive compensation program and to review the competitiveness of a particular level of compensation, the Committee annually considers the available pay data of an executive compensation peer group. In October 2023, the Committee approved the peer group considered for Fiscal 2025 compensation decisions for our named executive officers. In establishing this peer group, the Committee worked with FW Cook to assess the appropriate size, type, and complexity of potential peers. Specifically, the Committee: •reviewed metrics such as gross revenues (targeting companies with gross revenues between 0.4 and 2.5 times those of the Company), market capitalization (targeting companies with market capitalizations between 0.33 and 3.0 times that of the Company), and profit margin structure; •considered whether the potential peers were competitors for executive talent or investor capital; •considered whether the potential peers were a “peer-of-peers” (a common member of the peer groups of the Company’s peer group companies); and •assessed the overall reasonableness of designating a particular potential peer as a member of the Company’s peer group. The Committee, with assistance from its independent compensation consultant, annually reviews the composition of the executive compensation peer group to determine whether any changes are appropriate. The Committee determined that no changes were necessary for Fiscal 2025. The executive compensation peer group for Fiscal 2025 compensation decisions for our named executive officers consisted of the following 17 companies, which emphasize companies in the consumer goods industry, with a focus on companies in the beverage alcohol industry and/or those that are involved in managing and marketing premium brands:

  72. Fiscal 2025 Executive Compensation Peer Group

    FW Cook presented information to the Committee in October 2023 indicating that our revenues were at the 39th percentile, and our market capitalization was at the 70th percentile, in each case, of these peer group companies. In addition to its review of peer group executive compensation data, the Committee may review general industry executive compensation survey data when insufficient peer group data is available for a specific executive position or as another means of performing a market check on our overall executive compensation program or on individual components of the program. This information assists the Committee in its executive compensation decision making process.

  73. How Do We Compensate Our Named Executive Officers?

    | | Pay Element | | Objective & Performance Rewarded | | Fixed | Annual | Base Salary | Provide current, predictable compensation for day-to-day services, taking into account individual roles, responsibilities, and performance, as well as respective experience and abilities. | | Performance Based | Annual | AMIP (annual cash incentive) | Achieve annual goals measured in terms of financial performance (Net Sales, Comparable EBIT, and FCF) linked to creation of stockholder value. | | | Long-Term | PSUs | Establish long-term performance alignment as measured by organic net sales and relative TSR and drive retention. Organic net sales is a key measure used to monitor and evaluate the underlying business trends of our core operations and our ability to grow market share. Relative TSR provides an effective comparison of our performance against our competitive set and the broader market. PSUs have a three-year performance period. | | | | NQSOs | Reward absolute value creation (NQSOs have no value unless our stock price increases after the grant date) and vest pro rata annually over three years, encouraging both performance and retention. | | | | RSUs | Provide link to stockholder value creation and drive retention, vesting pro rata annually over three years. |

  74. Short-Term Cash Incentives: Fiscal 2025 AMIP

    Short-Term Cash Incentives: Fiscal 2025 AMIP For Fiscal 2025, we awarded short-term cash incentive opportunities to our named executive officers based on Company performance under the AMIP. In the case of our Division Presidents (Messrs. Sabia and Glaetzer), a portion of the Fiscal 2025 AMIP was also based on divisional performance. Effective March 1, 2024, the Committee made the following decisions for the Fiscal 2025 AMIP: •increased Mr. Newlands’ target from 160% to 170% of base salary, reflecting his position as a seasoned Chief Executive Officer and our outstanding business performance as compared to our beverage alcohol industry, CPG companies, and our peer group; and •maintained the AMIP targets (as a percentage of base salary) for Messrs. Hankinson (100%), Sabia (95%), Bourdeau (80%), and Glaetzer (80%). Company Performance In April 2024, the Committee determined that performance would be measured under the Fiscal 2025 AMIP based on a weighted mix of three performance measures: Net Sales, Comparable EBIT, and FCF. For our named executive officers other than Messrs. Sabia and Glaetzer, Net Sales, Comparable EBIT, and FCF were each measured at the consolidated enterprise level. For Messrs. Sabia and Glaetzer, half of the Net Sales and Comparable EBIT performance was measured against the performance of the Beer Division or the Wine & Spirits Division, respectively. Threshold performance against the enterprise Comparable EBIT performance goal was required for any payment to be made under the Fiscal 2025 AMIP. The Committee selects targets for Net Sales, Comparable EBIT, and FCF that it views as challenging but achievable. For Fiscal 2025, each target corresponded to the targeted level of performance under our Fiscal 2025 operating plan approved by the Board in April 2024. Building on our strong Net Sales and Comparable EBIT performance for Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024, the Committee continued to set challenging performance goals for Fiscal 2025: •the Fiscal 2025 target performance level for Net Sales was set in excess of each of our Fiscal 2024 maximum performance level and actual results; •the Fiscal 2025 target performance level for Comparable EBIT was set in excess of each of our Fiscal 2024 maximum performance level and actual results; and •the Fiscal 2025 target performance level for FCF was set in excess of each of our Fiscal 2024 target performance level and actual results.

    In addition to any incentive bonuses under the AMIP, the Committee has discretion to pay cash bonuses outside of that program. Other than Mr. Bourdeau, who received a $15,000 bonus from the Committee in recognition of his successful management and resolution of significant litigation matters during Fiscal 2025, no named executive officer received any discretionary bonus for Fiscal 2025.

  93. Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

    Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards Annual Equity Grants The Committee annually reviews the design of the long-term equity incentive program, including the mix of awards and the metrics to utilize under the PSU awards. In April 2024, the Committee granted our named executive officers a mix of NQSOs, RSUs, and PSUs. For Fiscal 2025, the Committee continued to calculate the total equity target value as a flat dollar value, providing the Committee with flexibility to adjust the target value of the long-term equity incentive awards to a particular named executive officer to take into consideration market data, executive performance and experience, expected future contributions, and retention considerations. The chart below reflects the total equity target value of the Fiscal 2025 equity awards as well as the percentage allocated to each award type. For the purpose of determining the number of shares subject to each type of award, NQSOs were valued on a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, RSUs were valued at fair market value, and PSUs were valued at fair market value of the target award.

  95. Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

    The general terms and conditions of the Fiscal 2025 annual equity awards are as follows: •NQSOs: NQSOs relate to shares of Class 1 Stock, which are convertible to Class A Stock upon sale. All Fiscal 2025 NQSOs have a ten-year exercise term, and the vesting schedule for the Fiscal 2025 NQSOs is 33% per year at each of the first three annual anniversaries of the grant date. The exercise price of an NQSO is the NYSE closing price for a share of Class A Stock on the grant date. •RSUs: The vesting schedule for all Fiscal 2025 time-based RSU awards is 33% of the award per year at each of the first three anniversaries of May 1 of the year of grant. •PSUs: The Fiscal 2025 PSU awards vest over a three-year period based on performance against the two equally weighted metrics described below. Payouts of these PSUs will be determined after the end of Fiscal 2027 based on the following performance levels:

  99. Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

    Continued service is required through May 1, 2027 in order to vest in shares earned under the Fiscal 2025 PSU program. The relative TSR portion of the PSUs are subject to a payout cap at target in the event that our TSR is negative over the three-year performance period, regardless of our relative performance against S&P 500 Food, Beverage, and Tobacco Index companies. All Fiscal 2025 NQSOs and RSUs would vest (or continue to vest), and Fiscal 2025 PSUs would either vest at the target or full level, in each case, upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” and subheading “Outstanding Equity Awards.” PSU Performance Period Ending in Fiscal 2025 In April 2025, the Committee certified relative TSR results for the Fiscal 2023-2025 PSU program at the 16th percentile relative to the companies in the S&P 500 Index. This performance resulted in no earned share units as follows:

  101. Retirement and Other Benefits

    off (vacation/sick leave), and life insurance programs, according to the terms of those programs and in the same manner as other eligible employees. Severance Benefits In the event of certain terminations of employment, our named executive officers are entitled to receive the severance benefits set forth under their employment agreements. The employment agreement with each of our named executive officers provides for severance benefits in the event of good reason termination or termination without cause. More information concerning the material terms of the employment agreements with each of our named executive officers and the amounts payable in the event of a severance or change-in-control event are described under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control.” Perquisites We provide our named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe to be reasonable and competitive with those offered by comparable companies to their executive officers. The Committee annually reviews and approves or ratifies the perquisites and other personal benefits offered to our named executive officers. The Committee believes these benefits further our objective of attracting, motivating, and retaining key executive talent and assist executive officers in promoting our brands, working more efficiently, and dedicating the appropriate amount of time and attention to business initiatives. Other than taxes related to certain relocation benefits, our named executive officers pay the personal income taxes that are attributable to the taxable perquisites we provide. Our named executive officers receive certain perquisites, including: •Automobile Allowance – We provide an automobile allowance to our named executive officers. We believe this benefit is competitive with benefits provided to executives at comparable companies. •Travel Services – We offer our named executive officers the personal use of our corporate aircraft when not needed for business purposes and the option of using car and driver services. Although these travel services may provide personal benefits to the executives, we believe these services also enhance the safety and security of our named executive officers and assist them to devote maximum time and attention to our business. •Product Allowance – We provide product allowances to our employees, including our named executive officers. We believe that a product allowance enhances their knowledge and appreciation of our products and serves as an additional tool to facilitate their role as ambassadors for our brands in both on- and off-premise retail establishments. For the 2025 calendar year, the allowance was $20,000 for Mr. Newlands and $10,000 for each of our other named executive officers. In certain limited instances, we may also provide product samples to our employees, including our named executive officers, to enable them to become stronger brand ambassadors. Our U.S. based employees, including our named executive officers, are also eligible from time-to-time to purchase products from us at a discounted rate. Such samples and discounts typically do not result in any incremental cost to us. •Voluntary Expanded Annual Physical Health Review – We offer our named executive officers an annual comprehensive health physical in order to encourage them to protect their health. •Sponsorship Events – We sponsor various cultural, charitable, civic, and entertainment events for business development and relationship-building purposes, as well as to maintain our involvement in communities in which we operate and in which our employees live. Tickets are often included in such sponsorship agreements, and typically do not result in any incremental cost to us. Occasionally, our employees, including our named executive officers, use such tickets for personal purposes when they are not otherwise used for business purposes. •Executive Charitable Match Programs – The Company provides a match of up to $50,000 per calendar year for charitable contributions and a match of up to $5,000 per calendar year for contributions to the Company’s political action committee made by each of our named executive officers. •Executive Security Program – Our executive security program was developed by our corporate security team as part of our overall risk management program. The executive security program provides the opportunity for executive officers to elect to receive enhanced business and personal protection services (including identity theft protection and optional protection at personal residences). The executive security program is for our benefit, and we believe that the costs of this security program are appropriate and necessary given the risks associated with executive officer positions at the Company and, more broadly, the heightened risks of serving as an executive officer for a U.S. public company at this time. For Fiscal

  102. How Do We Manage Risks Related to Our Executive Compensation Program?

    How Do We Manage Risks Related to Our Executive Compensation Program? Executive Compensation Risk Assessment As described above under the subheading “Compensation Risk Assessment,” the Committee received a risk assessment report from FW Cook regarding our executive compensation program. Based on that review, the Committee did not identify any executive compensation-related risks that it considered reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. Stock Ownership Guidelines In order to further align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders, the Board has established guidelines for the amounts of our common stock that our executive officers should beneficially own. We allow individuals five years in which to reach the applicable ownership guideline. The five-year period is measured from the date the individual assumed the executive officer role to which the stock ownership guideline applies. The ownership guidelines can be satisfied by the ownership of stock, unvested RSUs, and PSUs after the relevant performance period has been completed, performance has been certified, and the earned PSUs are subject to a continued service-based vesting requirement. Unexercised stock options and unvested/uncertified PSUs do not count towards meeting the guidelines. The current stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers are as follows:

  103. How Do We Manage Risks Related to Our Executive Compensation Program?

    Compliance with our stock ownership guidelines is assessed periodically, and not less frequently than annually. If the required ownership level is not met by the end of the five-year accumulation period, the executive officer is subject to a requirement to retain 100% of the net after-tax shares acquired upon the exercise of an NQSO or upon delivery of shares underlying an RSU or a PSU. As of the Record Date, each of our named executive officers had met the applicable stock ownership guideline or was within the five-year accumulation period for doing so. Clawback Rights and Prohibition Against Hedging and Pledging Our stockholder-approved LTSIP plan document and our LTSIP award agreements with our named executive officers each contain a clawback provision. Although we have not had to utilize this provision, its purpose is to allow us to recoup performance-based awards or the value thereof if and as required by the Dodd-Frank Act or other law. Under the clawback policy adopted by the Committee in April 2023, if Constellation is required to prepare an accounting restatement, including to correct an error that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, Constellation must (with limited impracticability exceptions) recover from any current or former executive officers incentive-based compensation that was erroneously awarded during the three years preceding the date such a restatement was required. This mandatory recoupment is required regardless of whether the cause for the restatement was due to fraud, errors, or any other factors. The amount required to be recovered is the excess of the amount of incentive-based

  106. Summary Compensation Table

    (1)These amounts represent the full grant date fair value of RSU and PSU awards granted in each fiscal year noted. For PSUs granted in Fiscal 2023 having relative TSR as the performance criterion, the grant date fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Since the performance criteria underlying the relative TSR PSUs are each considered a market condition as opposed to a performance condition for accounting purposes, the expense associated with those awards is not subject to fluctuation based on the actual outcome. Therefore, while the amounts reported in this column are based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions, for these relative TSR PSUs, such amounts are also the maximum expense value. The PSUs granted in Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 have two equally weighted performance criteria: (1) compound annual growth rate of organic net sales; and (2) relative TSR. The grant date fair value of the organic net sales growth components were based on the market price of our Class A Stock on the grant date and the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date (which was performance at target level). The grant date fair value of the relative TSR components were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Since the performance criteria underlying the relative TSR PSUs are each considered a market condition as opposed to a performance condition for accounting purposes, the expense associated with those awards are not subject to fluctuation based on the actual outcome and is therefore reported at maximum expense value. Assuming that the highest level of performance conditions were satisfied, the grant date fair value set forth above for the Fiscal 2025 PSUs would be: Mr. Newlands: $12,329,877; Mr. Hankinson: $2,578,503; Mr. Sabia: $2,522,180; Mr. Bourdeau: $2,017,627; and Mr. Glaetzer: $1,709,615. Each amount included in this column represents the aggregate amount that we expected to expense for grants in accordance with Topic 718 over the grants’ respective vesting schedules. Assumptions used in calculating these values with respect to PSUs may be found in Note 18 of our financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K. We do not include any impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting terms in these calculations. A more complete description of the Fiscal 2025 PSUs can be found in the CD&A under the heading “Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards.” See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2025 and the Outstanding Equity Awards as of February 28, 2025 tables for additional information.

    (a)The perquisites and other personal benefits provided to our named executive officers in Fiscal 2025 included personal use of our corporate aircraft, personal security services comprised of identity theft protection services, automobile allowances, parking reimbursements in certain geographies, car/driver services, product allowances, product samples, tickets to sponsorship events, a physical health review, home internet service, and executive charitable match programs. We did not provide a tax gross-up to any named executive officer in Fiscal 2025. The aggregate incremental cost to us for each named executive officer’s personal use of corporate aircraft is as follows: Mr. Newlands – $34,416; Mr. Hankinson – $55,324; Mr. Sabia – $63,460; and Mr. Glaetzer – $37,267. These amounts represent the aggregate incremental cost to us for the personal use of our corporate aircraft, or company-paid personal trips on commercial aircraft, by our named executive officers and certain of their family members. Such amounts are calculated by multiplying an aircraft’s hourly variable operating costs by the portion of the trip’s flight time allocated to such named executive officer. Variable operating costs include fuel costs, variable maintenance costs, and other variable expenses, including crew hotel and meals, on-board catering, trip-related landing fees, hangar and parking costs, and similar costs. Since our aircraft are used primarily for business travel, the methodology excludes fixed, capital, and similar costs. In instances where family members or guests fly on our aircraft as additional passengers on business flights with an executive, the aggregate incremental cost to us is de minimis in amount, and no amount is reflected in the table for these additional passengers. In Fiscal 2025, the following named executive officers made (i) charitable donations that were matched by the Company under our charitable matching program as follows: Mr. Newlands – $42,500; Mr. Hankinson –$50,000; and Mr. Bourdeau – $15,000; and (ii) donations to our political action committee that were matched by the Company under our political action committee charitable matching program as follows: Mr. Newlands – $5,000; Mr. Sabia - $5,000; and Mr. Bourdeau –$5,000. Our charitable match programs operate on a calendar year basis and contributions are reported in this table in the fiscal year the donation was made. Therefore, such reported amounts may exceed the $55,000 aggregate limitation due to timing differences between the calendar year used for the matching programs and our fiscal year. (5)Mr. Glaetzer was not a named executive officer prior to Fiscal 2025.

  116. Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2025

    (1)The amounts shown in these columns reflect the short-term cash incentive bonuses that potentially could have been earned during Fiscal 2025 based upon the achievement of Company performance goals under our AMIP. The actual award paid to each named executive officer under the AMIP for Fiscal 2025 is set forth above in the Summary Compensation Table in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column. More information regarding short-term cash incentive bonuses under our AMIP can be found in the CD&A under the heading “Short-Term Cash Incentives: Fiscal 2025 AMIP.” (2)These amounts represent the number of shares of Class A Stock that may be issued to the named executive officers pursuant to the terms of PSU awards granted under our LTSIP. The PSU awards granted on April 25, 2024 provide for a range of potential payouts (based on two equally weighted metrics (i) a three-year performance goal related to the compound annual growth rate of our organic net sales and (ii) our TSR performance relative to that of companies in the S&P 500 Food, Beverage, and Tobacco Index) and for settlement in shares of Class A Stock. These PSUs are generally scheduled to vest, if at all, on May 1, 2027 based on the level of achievement for the performance criteria associated with these awards. The terms of the Fiscal 2025 PSU awards are further described in the CD&A under the heading “Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards.” (3)These amounts represent the number of RSUs granted to the named executive officers under our LTSIP. Any payouts associated with the vesting of these awards will be made in shares of Class A Stock. Further information concerning these awards can be found in the CD&A under the heading “Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards.” These RSUs are scheduled to vest at 33% of the award per year at each of the first three anniversaries of May 1, 2024. (4)These amounts represent the number of options to purchase shares of Class 1 Stock granted to the named executive officer under our LTSIP. These NQSOs are scheduled to vest and become exercisable at 33% of the award per year at each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Further information concerning these awards can be found in the CD&A under the heading “Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards.” No trading market exists for Class 1 Stock. Class 1 Stock may be converted into shares of Class A Stock on a one-for-one basis, provided such conversion is permitted only if the holder immediately sells the Class A Stock. Under the LTSIP, the

    fair market value of a share of Class 1 Stock is equal to the fair market value of a share of Class A Stock unless the Human Resources Committee determines otherwise. (5)The exercise price of these NQSOs, which relate to Class 1 Stock (for which there is no public trading market), is the NYSE closing price of a share of Class A Stock on the grant date. (6)These amounts represent the full grant date fair value of the PSUs, RSUs, and NQSOs, respectively, granted in Fiscal 2025. This represents the aggregate amount that we expected to expense for such grants in accordance with Topic 718 over the grants’ respective vesting schedules. We do not include any impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting terms in these calculations. Employment Agreements Each of our named executive officers is party to an executive employment agreement with us. We entered into executive employment agreements with Mr. Newlands and the rest of our named executive officers in the years set forth below:

  121. Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2025

    The term of the agreements with each of our named executive officers expires at the end of our fiscal year, at which time they each automatically renew for an additional one-year period. Each agreement will continue to renew for successive one-year periods unless we provide at least 180 days’ notice of a decision not to renew such agreement. These agreements provide for an initial minimum annual base salary level for each executive, which may be adjusted upward by the Human Resources Committee. The severance benefits provided under the employment agreements are summarized under the subheading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control.” The employment agreements do not provide for any specific perquisites or other personal benefits for our named executive officers during their terms of employment.

    (1)NQSOs relate to Class 1 Stock, which are convertible to Class A Stock upon sale. Except as otherwise noted in these footnotes, the vesting schedule for all NQSO awards granted on or after April 24, 2023 set forth in the table is 33% of the award per year at each of the first three annual anniversaries of the grant date. The vesting schedule for all NQSO awards granted before April 2023 set forth in the table was 25% of the award per year at each of the first four year anniversaries of the grant date. In addition, all such NQSOs would vest (or continue to vest) upon the occurrence of certain events, as set forth under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” and subheading “Outstanding Equity Awards.” (2)Unvested RSU awards, and PSU awards whose performance periods have been completed (but whose related service vesting periods extend beyond the end of Fiscal 2025), are reflected in the first two columns of this section, while PSUs with performance periods extending beyond the end of Fiscal 2025 are reflected in the final two columns. (3)The exercise price of an NQSO is the NYSE closing price for a share of Class A Stock on the grant date. (4)All NQSO awards set forth in the table were granted with ten-year terms. Vested options are generally exercisable for 90 days following termination of employment unless alternative treatment is provided as set forth under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” and subheading “Outstanding Equity Awards.” (5)Except as otherwise noted in these footnotes, the vesting schedule for all RSU awards granted on or after April 24, 2023 set forth in the table is 33% of the award per year at each of the first three anniversaries of May 1 of the year of grant. The vesting schedule for all RSU awards granted prior to April 2023 set forth in the table was 25% of the award per year at each of the first four year anniversaries of May 1 of the year of grant. In addition, all RSU awards would vest (or continue to vest) upon the occurrence of certain events, as set forth under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” and subheading “Outstanding Equity Awards.” The vesting of the April 21, 2022 PSU awards is based on our Fiscal 2023-2025 TSR performance as compared to companies in the S&P 500 Index. In April 2025, the Human Resources Committee certified performance under

    these PSU awards at approximately the 16th percentile performance, resulting in no earned units under these awards. (6)These amounts are based on the February 28, 2025 NYSE closing price of $175.50 for a share of Class A Stock. (7)The vesting of the April 24, 2023 PSU awards is based on two equally weighted metrics (i) a three-year performance goal related to the compound annual growth rate of our organic net sales and (ii) our Fiscal 2024-2026 TSR performance as compared to companies in the S&P 500 Food, Beverage, and Tobacco Index. Based on our Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025 organic net sales and TSR performance as compared to companies in the S&P 500 Food, Beverage, and Tobacco Index, the amounts set forth in this column reflect a payout at the target level for these awards. The actual payout, if any, requires that the named executive officer remains employed with us until the May 1, 2026 service vesting date, and any actual payout of shares may be less than the amount reflected. The vesting of the April 25, 2024 PSU awards is based on two equally weighted metrics (i) a three-year performance goal related to the compound annual growth rate of our organic net sales and (ii) our Fiscal 2025-2027 TSR performance as compared to companies in the S&P 500 Food, Beverage, and Tobacco Index. Based on our Fiscal 2025 organic net sales and TSR performance as compared to companies in the S&P 500 Food, Beverage, and Tobacco Index, the amounts set forth in this column reflect a payout at the threshold level for these awards. The actual payout, if any, requires that the named executive officer remains employed with us until the May 1, 2027 service vesting date, and any actual payout of shares may be less than the amount reflected. In addition, all PSU awards would either vest at the target level or based on actual performance on a pro-rated basis upon the occurrence of certain events, as set forth under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” and subheading “Outstanding Equity Awards.” Further information concerning the Fiscal 2025 awards can be found in the CD&A under the heading “Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards” and in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2025 table.

    and to distribute such amounts pursuant to the terms of the plan. Its predecessor plan, the SERP, was previously similarly frozen. Effective January 1, 2019, certain employees, including each of the named executive officers, became eligible to participate in our NQSP, which is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The NQSP is designed to provide participants with the benefit of the company non-elective contributions that could not be made to their accounts under the 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan due to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The NQSP also provides participants with an elective deferral opportunity and is designed to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective January 1, 2025, the NQSP was amended to implement a Company match on participant elective deferrals on compensation in excess of the annual compensation limit under the 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan. For service prior to January 1, 2019, the Company made non-elective contributions to the SERP, and for service on or after January 1, 2019, the Company makes non-elective contributions to the NQSP. Such contributions are made on behalf of each eligible participant, including our named executive officers, and are equal to the amount of the non-elective contributions that a participant would have otherwise received under the 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan on the portion of their eligible compensation that exceeded the applicable Internal Revenue Code limits. Participants did not make contributions under the SERP. Each year, participants may elect to defer a portion of their base salary and annual cash incentive bonus into the NQSP. Participants may direct the investment of their accounts under the SERP and the NQSP into investment options that are similar to those offered under our 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan. Company non-elective contributions to the SERP and NQSP are immediately vested. Accounts under the SERP are distributed in a single lump-sum payment six months following a participant’s separation from service. Participants elect distribution of each year’s account under the NQSP in a specified number of annual installments or a lump-sum payment commencing upon either separation from service or a specified date. See the following tables for additional information.

  151. Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control

    Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control In the event of specified terminations of employment, or a change-in-control of the company, our named executive officers would become entitled to certain payments and benefits under their respective employment agreements, the terms of their outstanding equity awards under the LTSIP, our AMIP, our SERP, and our NQSP. The following information describes and quantifies the compensation and benefits for our named executive officers that would have become payable if a named executive officer’s employment had terminated on February 28, 2025, or if a change-in-control of the company occurred on February 28, 2025, based on the terms and conditions of their respective employment agreement, and our agreements, plans, and arrangements in effect on such date. These benefits are in addition to the benefits generally available to salaried employees, such as our 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan, ESPP, life and disability insurance programs, and medical, dental, and vision benefits. Employment Agreements The employment agreements with our named executive officers in effect as of the end of Fiscal 2025 provide for specified post-termination payments and benefits in the event of the occurrence of certain termination events. In order to receive the payments and benefits set forth below, a terminating executive must execute a release in favor of us and agree not to compete with us without our consent for a two-year period. The employment agreements also prohibit the executives for a period of 12 months after termination from seeking to induce our employees to leave their employment with us. Finally, the agreements provide the executives with certain indemnification rights and prohibit the executives, whether during or after employment, from divulging our confidential information or trade secrets or using such information in connection with any outside business activity. Under the employment agreement with each of our named executive officers, post-termination payments and benefits are triggered in the event that the executive’s employment terminates upon the expiration of the employment agreement, or if (i) the executive voluntarily terminates the executive’s employment for “good reason,” or (ii) the executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated by us for any reason other than “for cause.” These triggering terminations are each referred to as a “qualifying termination.” Under the employment agreements with our named executive officers, a qualifying termination results in: •a lump-sum payment equal to two times base salary and two times the average annual short-term incentive paid to the executive over the prior three completed fiscal years; •payments equal to the total monthly cost of the executive’s medical and dental coverage in effect at the time of termination extending for 24 months; and •outplacement services for a period of up to 18 months. Each of our named executive officers’ agreements defines a “for cause” termination to mean that we terminate the executive for (i) any intentional, non-incidental misappropriation of our funds or property; (ii) unreasonable (and persistent) neglect or refusal to perform the executive’s duties (and which is not remedied within 30 days

    after written notice); (iii) the material breach of any restrictive covenant, or divulging our confidential information or trade secrets or using such information in connection with any outside business activity; or (iv) a conviction of a felony. The agreements with each of our named executive officers define a “good reason” termination as the executive’s ability to terminate the executive’s employment for the occurrence of any of the following events without the executive’s consent: (i) a material reduction of the executive’s employment band or duties and responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction of the executive’s base salary; or (iii) a material breach of the executive’s employment agreement by us. The following table presents information concerning the post-termination payments each named executive officer would have received under the executive’s respective employment agreement in connection with a qualifying termination as of February 28, 2025.

  156. Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control

    None of the employment agreements with our named executive officers provides for an excise tax gross-up. Our executive employment agreements provide for a “best net” approach under which the severance payment is either reduced to an amount $1 below that which would subject the executive to the excise tax or, if it would provide a greater net payment to the executive after the payment of any excise tax, paid in full without any gross-up payment from us. These payments would be made pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements and in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, severance pay and six months’ worth of medical and dental payments would be paid on the first business day of the seventh month following the officer’s separation from service with monthly medical and dental payments continuing thereafter until fully paid. Outstanding Equity Awards The unvested equity awards held by each of the named executive officers are described above in the Outstanding Equity Awards as of February 28, 2025 table. We made each of those awards pursuant to our LTSIP. The following chart summarizes the various vesting provisions in our outstanding awards under our LTSIP that were not fully vested as of February 28, 2025:

    As of February 28, 2025, Messrs. Newlands, Bourdeau, and Sabia would have been eligible for the retirement treatment set forth above. AMIP Payments. Our AMIP is described in the CD&A under the heading “Short-Term Cash Incentives: Fiscal 2025 AMIP.” The Fiscal 2025 award program provides that in the event a named executive officer’s employment terminates for any reason other than retirement (defined as attained age 60 with at least five years of service), disability, death, or involuntary termination without cause prior to the end of the performance period, the named executive officer forfeits all rights to a short-term cash incentive payment for such period. In the event of a named executive officer’s retirement, disability, death, or involuntary termination without cause prior to the end of the performance period, the named executive officer will become entitled to a pro-rated portion of the short-term cash incentive payment that would have been payable had the individual not terminated employment. Such short-term incentive, if any, will be paid at the same time short-term incentives are paid to similarly situated participants who do not terminate employment. Actual payouts under the plan to the named executive officers for Fiscal 2025 are set forth above in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. NQSP. This plan is described under the heading “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.” In the event of any termination of employment as of February 28, 2025, each named executive officer (or, in the case of death, the named executive officer’s beneficiary) would be entitled to receive the value of the executive’s respective vested plan account balance set forth in the table under the heading “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.” In the event of a change-in-control (as defined by the plan), we would make lump sum payments of account balances to participants within 90 days of the change-in-control event.

  169. CEO Pay Ratio

    CEO Pay Ratio For Fiscal 2025, the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer is $15,006,800, and the annual total compensation of our median employee is $49,050. The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee is approximately 306 to 1. This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner consistent with the applicable SEC requirements. We re-identified our median employee this year based on the information available in our human resources information system, and we include all U.S. and non-U.S. employees, full and part-time employees, and temporary and seasonal employees in the universe of possible employees when identifying our median employee, which for Fiscal 2025 was 9,455 total employees. We do not include employees of our equally-owned joint venture with Owens-Illinois. We determined our median employee as of the last day of our 2025 fiscal year, the same date that we use for determining the compensation of our CEO under the SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. For purposes of identifying our median employee, we calculate compensation as the sum of: (i) base salary (not including overtime); (ii) target short-term incentive as of the determination date; and (iii) target equity award percentage of base salary (multiplied by base salary to provide a dollar value). We do not make cost of living adjustments for the compensation of employees based outside of the U.S. We convert the compensation paid to non-U.S. employees in local currency to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the determination date. Once we identify our median employee, we calculate their compensation under the Summary Compensation Table rules in a manner that is consistent with the calculation of our CEO’s compensation, without any adjustments or estimates. The SEC requirements for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by us.
