| Board Composition and Director Selection | | Our Corporate Governance Principles set forth the processes for director selection and the establishment of director qualifications. The Board has delegated the director recruitment process to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee with input from our Chairman. | | The Board believes that it, as a whole, should possess the combination of skills, professional experience, and diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints necessary to oversee our business and ensure an effective mix of perspectives. Accordingly, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and our current and future needs. In developing long-term plans for Board composition, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee takes into consideration the current strengths, skills and experience of members of the Board, their outside commitments, our director retirement policy and our strategic direction. |

| Director Candidates | | The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assesses candidates for membership on the Board. The Committee may work with a third-party professional search firm to assist with identifying and evaluating director candidates and their credentials. The Committee has the authority to retain and terminate any such firm, including the authority to approve the firm’s fees and other retention terms. The Committee retained Spencer Stuart to assist in identifying and evaluating potential director candidates for its most recent director search, which culminated in the appointment of Mses. Drake and Ellison-Taylor to the Board effective March 1, 2024. | | The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee may also consider candidates recommended by shareholders. Shareholder candidates will be evaluated using the same criteria for director selection described above. See “Proxy Access” on page 19 for more information on the proxy access provision of our Bylaws and “When must shareholder proposals and director nominations be submitted for the 2025 annual meeting?” on page 83 for information on how to submit director nominations for our 2025 annual meeting in accordance with our Bylaws. |

| Board Refreshment | | The Board is committed to striking a balance between retaining directors with deep knowledge of the Company and seeking fresh perspectives in its recruiting efforts. Our robust Board and individual director evaluation process, discussed on page 23, supports this objective. Further, our Corporate Governance Principles provide that directors may not stand for reelection once they reach age 73. The average tenure of our directors is 5.9 years. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Commitment to Board Diversity | | | | | | The Board believes that having a variety of perspectives among its members contributes to more effective oversight and decision-making. Our Corporate Governance Principles emphasize the importance of diversity of director backgrounds and experiences and expressly affirm the Board’s commitment to actively seek women candidates and candidates of diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds as it recruits the most qualified directors with the requisite experience and skills. | | | Since 2018, the Board has appointed eight independent directors. Of these, five have been women, including three women of diverse ethnic/racial backgrounds. The Board’s most recent appointments, Mses. Drake and Ellison-Taylor, add to the Board’s key skills and expertise and contribute to the Board’s current 31% gender diversity and 46% overall diversity. | | | | CURRENT BOARD COMPOSITION |

| Director Independence | | A director is considered independent if the Board affirmatively determines that he or she meets the independence standards in our Corporate Governance Principles, has no material relationship with us other than as a director and satisfies the independence requirements of the NYSE and applicable SEC rules. The Board determines director independence at least annually, considering all relevant facts and circumstances including, without limitation: |

All directors must possess integrity, good judgment, a strong work ethic, a collaborative approach to engagement, a record of public service and the ability to devote sufficient time to our affairs. In addition, the Committee has identified the following key skills and areas of expertise that should be represented on the Board*: |

Any director nominee who does not receive a majority of the votes cast is required to submit an irrevocable resignation to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation or take other action. The Board will, within 90 days following certification of the election results, publicly disclose its decision regarding the resignation and, if such resignation is rejected, the rationale behind the decision. |

| Proxy Access | | Proxy access refers to the right of shareholders meeting certain ownership criteria to nominate director candidates for inclusion in our proxy materials for our annual meeting. Our Bylaws provide that a shareholder, or group of up to 20 shareholders, that has owned at least 3% of our outstanding common stock for at least three years may nominate directors to our Board and include the nominees in our proxy materials to be voted on at our annual meeting. The maximum number of shareholder nominees that will be included in our proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting is the greater of two nominees or 20% (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of the number of directors then serving on the Board. A shareholder who seeks to nominate a director or directors to our Board must provide proper notice to our Corporate Secretary and satisfy the other requirements specified in our Bylaws. |

| Board Leadership and Function |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Independent Chairman of the Board | | Our Corporate Governance Principles provide the Board with the flexibility to exercise its business judgment on behalf of shareholders and choose the optimal leadership for the Board depending upon the Company’s particular needs and circumstances at a given time. The independent members of the Board elect the Chairman and, as part of this election, review whether to combine or separate the roles of Chairman and CEO. | | Throughout our history as a public company, the Board has selected the leadership structure it determined was best for the Company at that time. The Board was led by an independent Chairman from 2011, when we became a public company, to 2016. The Board combined the Chairman and CEO roles from 2016 to 2020, and then determined to separate them again in 2020. In making each determination to separate or combine the Chairman and CEO roles, the Board took into consideration many factors, including the Board’s role in oversight, the skills, qualifications and experience of our then-serving directors, the evolving needs of our Company, how our leadership structure was functioning and the views of our shareholders. These adjustments to leadership structure over time demonstrate the Board’s thoughtful approach in evaluating and implementing the best leadership structure for the Board depending upon the Company’s circumstances at a given time. Changes in the Board’s leadership structure are reflected on our website shortly after becoming effective and disclosed in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. | | Mr. Surma has led the Board as its independent Chairman since 2020. The Board believes that this leadership structure, which separates the Chairman and CEO roles, is appropriate at this time in light of MPC’s business and operating environment. Mr. Surma, a long-standing member of the Board, has in-depth knowledge of the issues, challenges and opportunities facing MPC. As such, the Board believes that he is best positioned at this time to assure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. His role ensures decisive independent leadership and clear accountability. |

Our Corporate Governance Principles set forth certain limitations on director service to ensure that each director’s outside directorships do not interfere with his or her ability to meet the responsibilities and expectations of service on our Board. |

Under our Corporate Governance Principles, due to their affiliate nature, concurrent service on the boards of MPC and MPLX GP LLC is counted as one public company board for purposes of assessing the level of public company board commitments. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee conducts an annual review of director commitments, including consideration of directorships and any leadership positions held at other public and private companies and nonprofit entities, and has determined that all directors currently comply with these guidelines. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Director Orientation and Education | | | To ensure directors maintain the necessary knowledge to perform their responsibilities and effectively oversee MPC, members of our Board are provided a variety of learning opportunities throughout the year. | | | Orientation | Our orientation program for new directors includes meetings with and presentations by senior management. This offers a new director the opportunity to receive one-on-one time with management to discuss various aspects of our business. | | External Programs | We encourage directors to attend, at our expense, director continuing education programs. In 2023, several of our directors attended programs specifically focused on board leadership and diversity, corporate governance developments, cybersecurity risk, climate risk strategy and disclosure, finance and internal audit, and human capital management. Several directors also attended symposiums sponsored by outside organizations that are designed as continuing director education on many topics relevant to public company board service. | | Educational Presentations on Relevant Topics | We also provide ongoing director education through presentations at Board and committee meetings, and regularly invite significant investors, subject matter experts and public sector representatives to speak to the Board. |

| Board Evaluations | | Our Corporate Governance Principles provide for a robust annual Board, committee and individual director evaluation process, administered by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Board and Committee Evaluations | Each director provides written responses to questions designed to enhance Board and committee effectiveness through the identification of actionable recommendations. The evaluation questions seek feedback on, among other things, Board and committee operation, composition and organization; Board dynamics; director skills; short- and long-term Board goals and objectives; committee effectiveness; and the performance of the Board and its committees in light of the responsibilities of each body as established in our governance documents. | Analysis and Discussion | | | | | ü | Summary reports of director feedback are compiled and provided to all directors. | | | | ü | The Chairman leads a discussion of Board evaluation results with all of the directors as a group. | | | | ü | Each committee’s Chair leads a discussion of committee results at a committee meeting and reports out to the full Board. | | Individual Peer and Self- Evaluations | Our Corporate Governance Principles provide for an enhanced process to evaluate the individual performance of each director whose term expires at the next annual meeting and is eligible for reelection. This is typically accomplished by means of a written evaluation completed by each of the director’s peers. Each evaluated director also completes a written self-evaluation on his/her own performance. | | | | | | ü | The Chairman and the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee jointly conduct discussions of individual evaluation results with each evaluated director. | | Governance Document Review | Each director reviews the Corporate Governance Principles and the charter of each committee on which he or she serves, and provides feedback and revision suggestions as deemed appropriate. | | |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee believes this process, which combines the opportunity for each director to individually reflect on Board and committee effectiveness with a collaborative discussion on performance, as well as a review of each individual director prior to his or her nomination for reelection, provides a meaningful assessment tool and a forum for discussing areas for improvement. |

| Non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual cash compensation into an unfunded account. This deferred cash account may be invested in certain notional investment options offered under the Marathon Petroleum Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, which options generally mirror the investment options offered to employees under the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan. Directors who defer cash compensation receive that cash in a lump sum following departure from the Board. | | Special Committee Service | | In 2023, the Board formed a special committee, composed of Messrs. Cohen, Galante, Stice and Surma and Ms. Rucker, to focus on succession planning for the CEO role, including a review of succession candidates and consideration of any waiver or extension of our mandatory retirement policy. Directors serving on this committee received an additional cash retainer of $15,000 for such service. | | MPLX GP LLC Board Service | | Messrs. Semple, Stice and Surma also serve on the Board of Directors (the “MPLX Board”) of MPLX GP, a wholly owned subsidiary of MPC and the general partner of MPLX.

Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Executive Compensation Guiding Principles | | We believe our executive compensation program plays a critical role in maximizing long-term value for our shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. Our executive compensation guiding principles are embodied in our executive compensation program and policies, which are designed to: |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| v | Attract, retain, motivate and reward the highest-quality executive team by providing market-competitive compensation. | | v | Be simple and transparent so they can be clearly communicated both internally and externally. | | v | Create direct alignment between executive pay and the creation of shareholder value. | | v | Reward for execution of our business strategy and desired culture. | | v | Differentiate pay on the basis of performance, experience and skill set. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Independent Compensation Consultant | | To promote objectivity in reviewing and analyzing market data and trends, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee has engaged an independent compensation consultant. The consultant reports directly to the Committee, attends Committee meetings and advises the Committee on: |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| See “Compensation Governance—Compensation Consultant Independence” on page 51 for additional information about the compensation consultant’s independence and related matters. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Compensation Reference Group and Other Market Data | | As one of several factors in setting pay, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee considers market data sourced from a combination of a selected compensation reference group and certain comprehensive executive compensation surveys developed by leading compensation consultant firms. | | Our compensation reference group for 2023 compensation decisions (the “2023 Compensation Reference Group”), developed in April 2022 by the Compensation and Organization Development Committee in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, consists of 20 comparable entities (based on revenue, EBIDTA margins, assets, market capitalization and number of employees) that are logistically and technically complex, mature stage businesses, in a variety of industry groups, including oil and gas, chemical, aerospace, agricultural and industrial. In developing the 2023 Compensation Reference Group, the Committee reviewed the 2022 compensation reference group and determined no changes were necessary. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| The Compensation and Organization Development Committee believes the combination of market data from the 2023 Compensation Reference Group and the executive compensation surveys is appropriate to understand the market value of our NEOs and assess comparative pay practices. This market data was considered when making compensation decisions for our NEOs during the annual compensation review process in early 2023. The Committee generally targets total direct compensation, rather than each individual element of compensation, for our NEOs at the market median, with adjustments made to account for each executive’s tenure and experience in his or her role. Total target direct compensation for 2023 generally fell at the market median for Messrs. Aydt and Floerke, at 12% above the market median for Mses. Mannen and Gagle, and at 17% above the market median for Mr. Hennigan. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Compensation Decisions | | In addition to information and insight provided by the independent compensation consultant and feedback received from our shareholders, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee seeks input from the CEO on compensation decisions and performance appraisals for all officers in designated positions other than himself. The Committee then makes all final compensation decisions for our CEO and officers in designated positions in furtherance of our executive compensation guiding principles. |

| For our NEOs to earn and sustain competitive compensation, we must meet our strategic objectives, perform well relative to our peers and deliver value to our shareholders and stakeholders. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| The Compensation and Organization Development Committee believes using a mix of cash and equity compensation encourages and motivates our NEOs to achieve both our short-term and long-term business objectives. Consistent with our guiding principles that executive compensation should be linked to performance and directly aligned with creating long-term value for our shareholders, a substantial majority of our NEOs’ compensation is at-risk and based on performance metrics tied to our business strategy and culture. The following table shows the target compensation mix approved during the Committee’s annual compensation review process in early 2023. |

| 2023 Annual Cash Bonus Program | | 2023 Annual Cash Bonus Program Structure Our NEOs participated in the 2023 ACB program, which the Compensation and Organization Development Committee approved in November 2022, with a performance period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The primary purpose of the 2023 ACB program was to incentivize and reward eligible employees for executing on our Company strategy. Awards under the ACB program for our NEOs were calculated as follows: |

| 2023 Company Metrics and Performance The 2023 ACB program emphasized pre-established financial and ESG performance measures. The following table provides each metric’s target weighting, performance levels and actual performance achieved in 2023: |

Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| The performance levels for each metric were established in January 2023 by evaluating factors such as performance achieved in the prior year(s), anticipated challenges for 2023, our business plan and our overall strategy. The Compensation and Organization Development Committee also reviewed disclosed peer methodologies of similar metrics when evaluating the rigor of our performance goals. The performance levels were set with threshold levels viewed as likely achievable, target levels viewed as challenging but achievable, and maximum levels viewed as extremely difficult to achieve. See “Robust Process for Selecting Metrics and Establishing Goals” on page 39 for additional information about how the Committee sets performance levels for the ACB program. | | The Compensation and Organization Development Committee has sole discretion under the 2023 ACB program to adjust performance metric levels and/or the final payout percentage to recognize instances where, due to unforeseen circumstances, the performance metrics results are not entirely indicative of overall Company results. The Committee made no such adjustments to the 2023 performance metric levels or final payout percentages. | | The Compensation and Organization Development Committee also has discretion under the 2023 ACB program to increase (by no more than 15%) or decrease payouts to certain of our officers, including our NEOs, based upon the Committee’s assessment of each individual’s performance and contributions; provided, that our CEO’s payout cannot be increased pursuant to this discretion. While the Committee determined that our NEOs’ contributions to the successful execution in 2023 of our business objectives and enhancement of shareholder value were significant, it concluded that the high achievement of performance metrics under the 2023 ACB program adequately reflected these contributions and determined to make no individual adjustments. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| ACB Payouts for 2023 In February 2024, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee certified the results under our performance metrics for the 2023 ACB program and, taking into consideration MPC’s performance relative to the pre-established metrics and the Committee’s evaluation of each NEO’s contributions to that performance, awarded the following amounts to our NEOs under the 2023 ACB program: |

| 2023 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program | | Our LTI compensation program is comprised of MPC PSUs, MPC RSUs and MPLX phantom units. This award mix places a substantial portion of our NEOs’ compensation at-risk and promotes achievement of our long-term business objectives by linking our NEOs’ compensation directly to long-term shareholder value creation and financial results. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| 2023 Annual Awards The Compensation and Organization Development Committee approved the following LTI mix and annual award amounts for our NEOs during its annual compensation review process in early 2023. To mitigate the effect of share price volatility, the number of awards granted is determined on the basis of the average 30-calendar day closing price prior to the grant date. Thus, these amounts may not match the accounting values shown in the “2023 Summary Compensation Table” and the “2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below. |

| * As this table shows LTI target values for 2023, it does not include Ms. Mannen’s additional $500,000 special LTI award discussed below. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| The Compensation and Organization Development Committee increased Mr. Hennigan’s 2023 LTI target award opportunity by 9% over his 2022 LTI target award to reflect his experience and performance in his role. Mr. Aydt’s 2023 LTI target award opportunity represents a 71% increase over his 2022 LTI target award in consideration of his promotion to Executive Vice President Refining, effective September 1, 2022, and is consistent with market data for that role. There were no changes in 2023 LTI target award opportunity values from 2022 LTI target award opportunity values for the other NEOs. | | In addition to the 2023 LTI target awards shown in the table above, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee awarded Ms. Mannen a $500,000 special LTI award, in the same mix as her 2023 LTI target award, in recognition of her leadership contributions in 2022. This special LTI award is included in the “Stock Awards” column of the “2023 Summary Compensation Table” on page 52, but is not reflected in the table above as the Committee considers it to be separate from her annual LTI target award. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| MPC PSUs The Compensation and Organization Development Committee awards MPC PSUs to align our NEOs’ long-term compensation interests with our shareholders’ long-term investment interests by conditioning payout on our three-year PSU TSR performance relative to the peer group shown in the following table. Each PSU has a target value equal to the MPC common stock 30-day average closing price prior to the grant date. PSUs vest in full at the end of the performance period and are settled in cash. The actual payout value is based on MPC’s PSU TSR performance (which can range from 0% to 200%) multiplied by: (i) for 2021 and 2022 PSUs, MPC’s closing share price on the date the Committee certifies performance, and (ii) for 2023 PSUs, MPC’s average closing share price for the last 30 calendar days of the performance period. To provide greater alignment with shareholders, payout is capped at 100% when MPC’s PSU TSR is negative for the performance period. |

| PSUs granted in 2022 and 2023 to our current NEOs remain outstanding. See the “2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2023 Fiscal Year-End” tables on pages 54 and 55, respectively, for additional information about these awards. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| MPC RSUs The Compensation and Organization Development Committee awards MPC RSUs to promote our NEOs’ ownership of our common stock, aid in retention and help our NEOs comply with our stock ownership guidelines. Awards generally vest ratably over three years. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Other Benefits | | In addition to the three key compensation elements described above, our NEOs are generally eligible to participate in our market-competitive health and life insurance plans, long-term and short-term disability programs, and retirement and severance programs. We also provide limited perquisites to our NEOs consistent with market-based trends. None of these additional programs are considered material by the Compensation and Organization Development Committee when making compensation decisions. | | Retirement Benefits Retirement benefits provided to our NEOs are designed to be consistent in value and aligned with benefits offered by the other companies with which we compete for talent. Benefits under our qualified and nonqualified plans are described in more detail in “Post-Employment Benefits for 2023,” beginning on page 58, and “2023 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation,” beginning on page 61. | | Severance Benefits MPC and MPLX maintain change in control plans designed to (i) preserve executives’ economic motivation to consider a business combination that might result in job loss and (ii) compete effectively in attracting and retaining executives in an industry that features frequent mergers, acquisitions and divestitures. Our change in control benefits are described further in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” beginning on page 63. | | Limited Perquisites Our NEOs receive limited perquisites, which are consistent with those offered by companies in our compensation reference group. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Stock Ownership Guidelines | | Our stock ownership guidelines align our executive officers’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders. These guidelines require the executive officers in the positions shown below to retain MPC common stock with a value at least equal to a target multiple of their annualized base salary. The targeted multiples vary depending upon the executive’s position and responsibilities. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Clawback Policy | | Since becoming a public company in 2011, we have included provisions in our ACB and LTI programs providing for recoupment of compensation from our executives in the case of certain forfeiture events (collectively, “MPC’s Existing Clawback Provisions”). Under MPC’s Existing Clawback Provisions, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee may determine that a forfeiture event has occurred if: (a) MPC is required to prepare an accounting restatement as a result of misconduct, and the Compensation and Organization Development Committee determines that a covered officer (i) knowingly engaged in misconduct, (ii) was grossly negligent with respect to misconduct, or (iii) knowingly failed or was grossly negligent in failing to prevent misconduct; or (b) the Compensation and Organization Development Committee determines that a covered officer engaged in fraud, embezzlement or other similar misconduct materially detrimental to MPC. | | If the Compensation and Organization Development Committee determines that a forfeiture event has occurred with respect to a covered officer, it may require reimbursement of any portion of such covered officer’s bonus from the ACB program for each performance year during which the misconduct occurred, as well as recoupment of an amount up to the sum of all LTI awards granted to, held by, earned by, or settled with respect to, such covered officer in the period during which the misconduct occurred. | | In 2023, the NYSE implemented listing standards requiring listed companies to adopt a clawback policy meeting certain additional requirements. Accordingly, the Board adopted the Marathon Petroleum Corporation Officer Compensation Clawback Policy (the “MPC Officer Compensation Clawback Policy”) that consolidates: | | •MPC’s Existing Clawback Provisions under our ACB and LTI programs; |

| Compensation Risk Assessment | | The Compensation and Organization Development Committee’s independent compensation consultant performs an annual assessment of the risks associated with our compensation programs. In July 2023, the Committee reviewed the most recent assessment, conducted by FW Cook, of our policies and practices for compensating our executive and non-executive employees as they relate to our risk management profile, concluding that our compensation programs do not motivate undue risk and are thus not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on MPC. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| COMPENSATION PROGRAM RISK-MITIGATING FACTORS | | | | ü | The balance between fixed versus variable compensation, cash versus equity, and short-term versus long-term incentives is appropriate. | | | ü | Our compensation programs are designed to appropriately mitigate risk: | | | | ¡ | Compensation programs are structured, with a market-based maximum earning opportunity. | | | ¡ | Employee wealth creation is determined by sustained, multi-year performance, rather than by a single year. | | | ¡ | Independent directors have discretion in determining payouts under our incentive programs. | | ü | Our processes for administering compensation programs are robust and include appropriate levels of review, approval and governance: | | | | ¡ | The Compensation and Organization Development Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, administers our compensation programs. | | | ¡ | The Compensation and Organization Development Committee has engaged an independent compensation consultant to provide advice regarding market trends on compensation form, design and amount. | | ü | We have adopted tools to help mitigate risk, including: | | | | ¡ | Executive officers are required to comply with a rigorous stock ownership policy, and compliance is reviewed annually. | | | ¡ | We maintain an insider trading policy, anti-hedging and pledging policies and a clawback policy. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Compensation Consultant Independence | | The Compensation and Organization Development Committee engaged FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant for 2023. While the Committee oversees the consultant’s activities, the consultant does interact with management to gather information and formalize proposals for presentation to the Committee. During 2023, FW Cook did not provide services to our management or us in excess of $120,000 that were not directly related to executive or director compensation matters. | | In determining that the advice it receives from its independent compensation consultant is objective and not influenced by the consultant’s working relationship with MPC or the Compensation and Organization Development Committee, the Committee assessed FW Cook’s independence by considering, among other factors: | | •FW Cook’s provision of other services to us; | | •The amount of fees we paid FW Cook, as a percentage of FW Cook’s total revenue; | | •FW Cook’s policies and procedures that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; | | •Any business or personal relationship of any consulting team member with the members of our Board, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee or our executive officers; and | | •Any MPC stock owned by FW Cook or any consulting team member. | | The Compensation and Organization Development Committee has considered and assessed all relevant factors, including those required by the SEC, that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest and determined that its engagement of FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant for 2023 did not raise any conflicts of interest. |

| Number of Years Credited Service shows the number of years the NEO has participated in each plan. Plan participation service used to calculate each participant’s benefit under the Retirement Plan legacy benefit formula (applicable to Mr. Aydt and Ms. Gagle only) was frozen as of December 31, 2009. Mr. Floerke’s credited service for purposes of the Retirement Plan and Excess Benefit Plan includes 2.42 years of service credited for his employment with a subsidiary of MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P., which we acquired in 2015. | | Present Value of Accumulated Benefit for the legacy benefit under the Retirement Plan was calculated assuming an 85% lump sum election rate with a lump sum interest rate between 0.25% and 1.75% (based on anticipated year of retirement) and the RP-2000 mortality table, and a 15% annuity election rate with a discount rate of 4.90% and the Pri-2012 mortality table with generational mortality improvements in accordance with Scale MP-2021, both calculated assuming retirement at age 62 (or current age, if later). See "Retirement Plan" below for more detail on the legacy benefit formula. | | The present value of accumulated benefits for the cash balance benefits under the Retirement Plan was calculated assuming retirement at age 62 (or current age, if later), a discount rate of 4.90%, a cash balance interest credit rating of 3.57% in 2023, 4.56% in 2024 and 4.03% in 2025 and beyond, and the Pri-2012 mortality table with generational mortality improvements in accordance with Scale MP-2021. See "Retirement Plan" below for more detail on the cash balance benefit formula under each plan. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Retirement Plan Our employees, including our NEOs, participate in the Marathon Petroleum Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit retirement plan primarily designed to provide participants with income after retirement. The Retirement Plan is sponsored by Marathon Petroleum Company LP (“MPC LP”), our indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Participants in the plan become fully vested upon completing three years of vesting service. Normal retirement age under the plan is 65. The plan has both a “legacy” retirement benefit and a “cash balance” retirement benefit. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Legacy Benefit Prior to 2010, the monthly benefit was determined under the following legacy benefit formula: | | Legacy Monthly Benefit = (1.6% x Monthly Final Average Pay x Years of Participation) – (1.33% x Monthly Estimated Primary Social Security Benefit x Years of Participation) |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| This formula was amended effective January 1, 2010, to cease future accruals of additional participation years, and as applied to eligible NEOs, cease further compensation updates. No more than 37.5 participation years may be |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| 58 | Marathon Petroleum Corporation |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| recognized under the formula. Eligible earnings include, but are not limited to, pay for hours worked, pay for allowed hours, military leave allowance, commissions, bonuses and elective deferrals to the Thrift Plan (defined below). Age continues to be updated under the formula. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Under the legacy retirement benefit, a vested participant who is at least age 62 may retire prior to age 65 and receive an unreduced benefit. Ms. Gagle has a legacy retirement benefit under the plan that remains subject to reduction as she has not yet reached age 62. Available benefits include various annuity options and a lump sum distribution option. Participants are eligible for early retirement upon reaching age 50 and completing 10 years of vesting service. If an employee retires between the ages of 50 and 62 with sufficient vesting service, the amount of benefit under the legacy benefit formula is reduced as follows: |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Age at Retirement | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | | Early Retirement Factor | 100% | 97% | 94% | 91% | 87% | 83% | 79% | 75% | 71% | 67% | 63% | 59% | 55% |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| The plan was amended effective August 31, 2022, to allow an active participant who has attained age 59.5 to elect to take an in-service distribution of their legacy retirement benefit on or after December 1, 2022. Mr. Aydt made such an election in 2022 with regard to his legacy retirement benefit, and the distribution was made in 2023, as reflected in the table above. As of December 31, 2023, no other NEO was eligible to elect an in-service distribution. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Cash Balance Benefit Starting in 2010, benefit accruals are determined under the following cash balance formula: | | Cash Balance Annual Benefit = (Annual Compensation x Pay Credit Percentage) + (Account Balance x Interest Credit Rate) |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Participants receive pay credit percentages based on the sum of their age and cash balance service: | | | | | Participant Points | Fewer than 50 Points | 50-69 Points | 70 Points or More | | Pay Credit Percentage | 7% | 9% | 11% |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Annual compensation is limited to $330,000 for 2023 and generally includes wages and salary for time worked, with certain exclusions. Under the cash balance retirement benefit, a vested participant may retire at any age prior to 65 and receive an unreduced benefit. Each NEO has a vested cash balance retirement benefit under the plan that is not subject to reduction upon retirement. Under the cash balance formula, plan participants receive pay credits based on age and cash balance service. For 2023, Messrs. Hennigan, Aydt and Floerke and Ms. Gagle received pay credits equal to 11% of compensation, and Ms. Mannen received a pay credit equal to 9% of compensation. There are no early retirement subsidies under the cash balance formula. | | Excess Benefit Plan (Defined Benefit Portion) The Marathon Petroleum Excess Benefit Plan (“Excess Benefit Plan”), sponsored by MPC LP, is an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, including our NEOs. This plan generally provides benefits that participants would have otherwise received under the tax-qualified Retirement Plan were it not for Internal Revenue Code limitations. For our NEOs, eligible earnings under the plan include the compensation items shown above for the Retirement Plan, but without regard to any Internal Revenue Code limit, as well as any salary and bonus amounts deferred by the NEO under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (defined below). | | With respect to Mr. Aydt and Ms. Gagle, who have frozen legacy-type benefits under the plan, eligible earnings for the legacy-type portion were determined using each NEO’s highest consecutive 36-month compensation (exclusive of bonuses) and three highest bonuses earned over the 10-year period up to December 31, 2012. Notwithstanding Mr. Aydt’s election to take an in-service distribution of his legacy retirement benefit under the Retirement Plan, as discussed above, he is deemed to continue to have a legacy-type benefit under the Retirement Plan for purposes of the Excess Benefit Plan. None of the other NEOs have a legacy-type benefit under the Excess Benefit Plan. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| 2024 Proxy Statement | 59 |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Due to the structure of the frozen legacy benefit formula under the Retirement Plan, the age-related benefit conversion factors used to calculate lump sum benefits under the frozen legacy benefit formula result in a year-to-year decrease in the lump sum benefit for participants generally beginning on or after the age of 59. As a result, if participants choose to continue their employment with MPC after they reach age 59, their lump sum benefit may decline year to year. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| The Excess Benefit Plan permits the Compensation and Organization Development Committee, on a discretionary basis, to extend a lump sum retirement benefit supplement (“Service Benefit”) to individual officers of MPC who have a frozen legacy-type benefit under the plan to offset the age-related erosion (if any) of the frozen legacy-type benefit from age 62 until such officer’s actual retirement date or date of death. An officer must be vested under the Retirement Plan to qualify for the Service Benefit. Ms. Gagle has a frozen legacy-type benefit under the plan; however, the Committee has not extended eligibility for this benefit to her at this time. |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Tax-Qualified Defined Contribution Retirement Plan The Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan (“Thrift Plan”), sponsored by MPC LP, is a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan. In general, all of our employees, including our NEOs, are immediately eligible to participate in the plan. The purpose of the plan is to assist employees in maintaining a steady program of savings to supplement their retirement income and to meet other financial needs. | | The Thrift Plan allows eligible employees, such as our NEOs, to make elective deferral contributions to their plan accounts on a pre-tax, after-tax or “Roth” basis from 1% to a maximum of 75% of their plan-considered gross pay, with such gross pay limited to the applicable Internal Revenue Code annual compensation limit ($330,000 for 2023). Eligible employees who are “highly compensated employees” as determined under the Internal Revenue Code, such as our NEOs, may make after-tax contributions to their plan accounts from only 1% to 6% of their plan-considered gross pay limited to the applicable Internal Revenue Code annual compensation limit ($330,000 for 2023). Employer matching contributions are made on such elective deferrals and after-tax contributions at a rate of 117% up to a maximum of 6% of an employee’s plan-considered gross pay. All employee elective deferrals and after-tax contributions, and all employer matching contributions made, are fully vested. |

Marathon Petroleum Corporation
| Excess Benefit Plan (Defined Contribution Portion) The Excess Benefit Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Participants receive employer matching contributions equal to the amount they would have otherwise received under the tax-qualified Thrift Plan were it not for Internal Revenue Code limitations. |

| Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control | | The following discussion provides information regarding the compensation payable to our NEOs under each hypothetical termination scenario, assuming that the applicable termination event occurred on December 31, 2023, based on the plans and agreements in place on that date. The actual payments to which an NEO would be entitled may only be determined based upon the actual occurrence and circumstances surrounding the termination. | | Our NEOs would be entitled under each termination scenario to receive their vested benefits that have accrued under our employee and qualified retirement and nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

| CEO Pay Ratio | | SEC rules require us to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Hennigan, to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than Mr. Hennigan). | | We identified our median employee as of October 31, 2021, by analyzing the accumulated actual wages and bonus amounts paid to each employee, other than our CEO, between January 1, 2021, and October 1, 2021. We selected this process to determine our median employee as we believe such accumulated pay reasonably reflects the median employee’s annual total compensation taking into account all of our employees. We included in our analysis 17,779 full-time regular, part-time, casual and international employees as of October 31, 2021. As permitted by SEC rules, we excluded for administrative convenience our employees from the following non-U.S. jurisdictions: Canada (7 employees), Mexico (42 employees) and Singapore (8 employees), which together accounted for approximately 0.32% of our total employee population. | | Given that there has been no material change to our employee population or employee compensation programs that we reasonably believe would result in a significant change to our pay ratio disclosure, we have continued to identify the same employee reported for 2021 and 2022 as our median employee for 2023. We calculated our median employee’s total compensation using the same methodology required by the SEC rules for disclosure of compensation to the principal executive officer in the “2023 Summary Compensation Table.” |

| Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) for 2023 is calculated in accordance with SEC Regulation S-K, Item 402(v)(2)(iii), and includes the aggregate of: | | •Salary earned for 2023, as shown in the “Salary” column of the “2023 Summary Compensation Table” (“SCT”) on page 52. | | •The total ACB award earned for 2023, paid in 2024, as shown in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the SCT. | | •MPC’s aggregate contributions in 2023 to defined contribution plans and the value of 2023 perquisites, as shown in the “All Other Compensation” column of the SCT. This value was earned and received in 2023. | | •The actuarial present value of each officer’s benefit under our defined benefit pension plans attributable to services rendered during 2023, determined by our actuary using actuarial assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements. This value was earned in 2023 but will not be received until a future date. | | •For LTI awards made in 2023 that were outstanding as of December 31, 2023, the fair value of these awards as of December 31, 2023. This value was not received in 2023, but is representative of estimated potential value that may be received in the future. | | •For LTI awards made prior to 2023 that were outstanding as of December 31, 2023, the year-over-year change in fair value of these awards from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2023. This value was not received in 2023, but is representative of the change in estimated potential value that may be received in the future. | | •For LTI awards made in 2023 that distributed in 2023, the fair value of these awards as of the distribution date. This value was received in 2023. | | •For LTI awards made prior to 2023 that distributed in 2023, the change in fair value of these awards from December 31, 2022, to the distribution date. Our officers may have received more or less than this value in 2023, as the amount included here is only reflective of the change in value from December 31, 2022, through the distribution date. | | •LTI awards made prior to 2023 that were forfeited in 2023 are subtracted from CAP using the fair value of such awards as of December 31, 2022. This decreases CAP and reflects value that will not be received. | | •Dividend equivalents (MPC) and distribution equivalents (MPLX) accrued during 2023 on unvested LTI awards. As these accrued dividends/distribution equivalents are paid when the underlying award distributes, this value was received in 2023 only in respect of the underlying awards that distributed in 2023. The value of the remaining accrued dividend equivalents and distribution equivalents may be received if and when the underlying awards distribute in the future. | | CAP for the other years shown is calculated using substantially the same methodology as for 2023. Therefore, CAP for each year shown includes both value that has been received in that year, as well as estimated value that may be received in the future if and when the associated LTI award distributes, or may not be received at all if the associated LTI award is forfeited. Value received for LTI awards in the future may be more or less than the value included in CAP for each year shown depending on the value of MPC common stock and MPLX common units at the time such awards distribute. | | In accordance with Regulation S-K, Item 402(v)(2)(iii), the CAP columns reflect the following additions and deductions to the SCT totals for each year shown. |
