Proposal 1. Election of Directors
Proposal 1. Election of Directors
Proposal 1. Election of Directors
| | The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR each of the following Class III director nominees: | | | | | | Maryann T. Mannen | Eileen P. Paterson | J. Michael Stice | John P. Surma |
Proposal 1. Election of Directors
The Board of Directors, which oversees the management of our business and affairs, currently is divided into three classes of directors, with one class elected each year for a three-year term. The Board has set the current number of directors at 11, with three directors in Class I and four directors in each of Classes II and III. The members of Class III are due to stand for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting. As informed by the considerations discussed under “Board Composition and Director Selection” beginning on page 17 and our individual director evaluation process discussed on page 23, our Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election to the Board of each Class III director nominee. We expect each nominee will be able to serve if elected. Any director vacancy may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors. Any director elected in this manner would hold office until expiration of the term of the class to which he or she has been elected.

Deferral of Compensation
Deferral of Compensation Under MPC’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, 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 plan, which options generally mirror the investment options offered to employees under the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan. Directors who defer cash compensation receive cash equal to the accrued balance in their unfunded account following departure from the Board. MPC RSUs and MPLX phantom units awarded to non-employee directors for Board service in the first two quarters of 2025, including those received as dividend and distribution equivalents, were automatically deferred, payable in MPC common stock and MPLX common units only upon a director’s departure from the Board. Beginning with the annual equity award made May 1, 2025, directors may now elect whether to defer distribution of their awards until their departure from the Board. Awards for which no deferral election is made will generally distribute upon the first anniversary of the grant date.

*In 2025, we added Relative Change in Free Cash Flow per Share as a second metric to the PSU program (weighted at 20% of the LTI target). This new metric is a key business initiative critical to MPC's ability to return capital to shareholders. **Non-GAAP Financial Measures. MPC’s “adjusted EBITDA” and MPLX’s “distributable cash flow” are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See Appendix I for the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

2025 Annual Cash Bonus Program
2025 Annual Cash Bonus Program Our NEOs participated in the 2025 ACB program, which the Compensation and Organization Development Committee approved in January 2025, with a performance period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. The primary purpose of the 2025 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:
2025 Annual Cash Bonus Program
| ELIGIBLE EARNINGS ($) | Generally refers to the NEO’s year-end base salary rate. In an NEO’s year of hire or separation, eligible earnings are calculated as the sum of base wages paid during the year plus compensation deferred during the year, which has the effect of prorating the award. | | TARGET BONUS (%) | Expressed as a percentage, as in effect at year-end, of each NEO’s eligible earnings. The Compensation and Organization Development Committee approves target bonus opportunities for our NEOs based on analysis of market-competitive data sourced from our compensation reference group and executive compensation surveys, while also taking into consideration each executive’s experience, relative scope of responsibility and potential, other market data and any other information the Committee deems relevant in its discretion. | | COMPANY PERFORMANCE (%) | The Compensation and Organization Development Committee establishes financial performance metrics and levels and non-financial performance measures at the beginning of the performance period. Once the performance period has ended, the Committee reviews and assesses Company performance against the financial performance metrics and levels and the non-financial performance measures, as well as any other factors the Committee deems relevant in its discretion. | | INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE | Awards may be adjusted up or down based upon the Committee’s assessment of each NEO’s organizational and individual performance. While there is no limit on downward adjustment, no upward adjustments may be made for the CEO, and upward adjustments for other NEOs are capped at 15%. | | FINAL AWARD ($) | There is no guaranteed minimum ACB payout. Payout results may be above or below target based on actual Company and individual performance. Payouts are capped at 200% of each NEO’s target award. |

ACB Payouts for 2025
ACB Payouts for 2025 In February 2026, based on its assessment of our financial and non-financial performance shown above, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee certified the overall performance under the 2025 ACB program, as described above, at 143%. Once it has assessed overall performance, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee has discretion under the 2025 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

ACB Payouts for 2025
successful execution in 2025 of our Company strategy and enhancement of shareholder value were significant, it concluded that the high achievement of performance metrics under the 2025 ACB program adequately reflected these contributions and determined to make no individual adjustments. Taking into consideration MPC’s overall performance, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee’s evaluation of each NEO’s contributions to that performance, and Ms. Mannen’s recommendations as CEO, the Committee awarded the following amounts to our NEOs under the 2025 ACB program:

ACB Payouts for 2025
* The Compensation and Organization Development Committee used Mr. Aydt’s base salary immediately prior to his retirement as his eligible earnings for purposes of determining his final award under the 2025 ACB. Mr. Quaid’s 2025 ACB target percentage opportunity was increased, from 90% to 100% of eligible earnings, to maintain market competitiveness for his role. Target percentage opportunities for our other NEOs remained unchanged from their 2024 ACB target percentages.
2025 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program
2025 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.
2025 Annual LTI Awards
2025 Annual LTI Awards The Compensation and Organization Development Committee approved the following 2025 LTI target award amounts for our NEOs during its annual compensation review process in early 2025. The Committee generally sets the annual LTI target award mix at 60% MPC PSUs, 20% MPC RSUs and 20% MPLX phantom units. To mitigate the effect of share price volatility, the number of awards granted is determined on the basis of the average closing share price for the trading days in the 30 calendar days immediately prior to the grant date. Thus, these amounts may differ from the accounting values shown in the “2025 Summary Compensation Table” and the “2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table on pages 57 and 59, respectively.
2025 Annual LTI Awards
| Name | MPC PSUs ($) | MPC RSUs ($) | MPLX Phantom Units ($) | Total 2025 LTI Award ($) | | Mannen | 7,800,000 | 2,600,000 | 2,600,000 | 13,000,000 | | Hennigan | 5,328,000 | 1,776,000 | 1,776,000 | 8,880,000 | | Quaid | 2,040,000 | 680,000 | 680,000 | 3,400,000 | | Hessling | 1,200,000 | 400,000 | 400,000 | 2,000,000 | | Benson | 1,200,000 | 400,000 | 400,000 | 2,000,000 | | Aydt | 1,200,000 | 400,000 | 400,000 | 2,000,000 |
2025 Annual LTI Awards
Increases to the 2025 LTI target award opportunities for Ms. Mannen, Mr. Quaid and Ms. Benson of 8%, 10% and 11%, respectively, over their 2024 LTI target awards were made to maintain market competitiveness for each executive’s role.

2025 Annual LTI Awards
Mr. Hennigan’s 2025 LTI target award opportunity represents a 40% decrease from his 2024 LTI target award to reflect his departure as CEO and new role as Executive Chairman. Mr. Aydt’s LTI target award opportunity was reduced in light of ongoing discussions around his role and responsibilities. Mr. Aydt retired effective September 2, 2025. Mr. Hessling’s 2025 LTI target award opportunity was unchanged from his 2024 LTI target award.
MPC PSUs
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. Each PSU has a target value equal to the average MPC closing share price for the trading days in the 30 calendar days immediately prior to the grant date. PSUs generally vest in full at the end of the performance period and are settled in cash. The actual payout value is based on MPC’s performance (which can range from 0% to 200%) under each applicable metric multiplied by MPC’s average closing share price for the trading days in the final 30 calendar days of the performance period. To provide greater alignment with shareholders, payout under any metric is capped at 100% when MPC’s PSU TSR is negative for the performance period.

*The Performance Peer Group for Relative PSU TSR includes both the Peer Companies and the Peer Indices. The Performance Peer Group for Relative Change in FCF per Share includes the Peer Companies only. ** Determined by selecting the median company when ranking the applicable year’s Compensation Reference Group by TSR in descending order for the applicable performance period. Relative PSU TSR measures our three-year total shareholder return relative to the performance peer group. PSU TSR is calculated as follows:

2023 PSUs Performance and Payout
*Calculated as the target award value divided by MPC’s average closing share price ($124.07) for the trading days in the 30 calendar days immediately prior to the grant date (March 1, 2023). PSUs granted in 2024 and 2025 to our NEOs remain outstanding. See the “2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2025 Fiscal Year-End” tables on pages 59 and 60, respectively, for additional information about these awards.
MPC RSUs
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. See “2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” on page 59 for additional information about MPC RSUs granted to our NEOs in 2025.
Severance Benefits
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 68.
Compensation Risk Assessment
| Compensation Program Risk-Mitigating Factors | | | | The balance between fixed versus variable compensation, cash versus equity, and short-term versus long-term incentives is appropriate. | | | 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, multiyear performance, rather than by a single year. •Independent directors have discretion in determining payouts under our incentive programs. | | | Our processes for administering compensation programs are robust and include appropriate levels of oversight, review, approval and governance: | | | •The Compensation and Organization Development Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, oversees and administers our compensation programs. •The Committee has engaged an independent compensation consultant to provide advice regarding market trends on compensation form, design and amount. | | | 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. |
Compensation Consultant Independence
Compensation Consultant Independence The Compensation and Organization Development Committee engaged FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant for 2025. 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 2025, 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 FW Cook consulting team member with any member of our Board or the Compensation and Organization Development Committee; •Any MPC stock owned by FW Cook or any consulting team member (or their immediate family members); and •Any business or personal relationship of any FW Cook employee with any of our executive officers. 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 2025 did not raise any conflicts of interest.

2025 Summary Compensation Table
Salary shows the actual amount earned during the year. See page 47 in the CD&A for additional information on base salaries for 2025, including the effective dates of any midyear base salary adjustments. Stock Awards reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of LTI awarded for the year indicated, calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC Topic 718”). The Compensation and Organization Development Committee awards LTI to our NEOs based on intended target values, which reflect established compensation valuation methodologies that differ in some respects from the FASB ASC Topic 718 methodologies; thus, the amounts shown in this table may differ from the intended target award values. See “2025 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program—2025 Annual LTI Awards” beginning on page 50 for additional information about the intended target values for the 2025 LTI awards to our NEOs. For assumptions used to determine the values of LTI awards as shown in this table, see the "Grant Date Fair Value” note accompanying the “2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table on page 59, Note 25 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and Note 2 to MPLX’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. PSUs are included in this column at their target value because target was determined to be the probable outcome for the applicable performance period at the time of grant of each award, consistent with the accounting treatment under GAAP. The maximum grant date value of the PSUs granted in 2025, assuming the highest level of performance achieved, is: Ms. Mannen, $16,393,698; Mr. Hennigan, $11,198,065; Mr. Quaid, $4,287,543; Mr. Hessling, $2,522,009; Ms. Benson, $2,522,009; Mr. Aydt, $2,522,009.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation reflects the total ACB award earned for the year indicated, paid the following year. See “2025 Annual Cash Bonus Program” beginning on page 47 for additional information on payouts under this program for 2025. See “2025 Target Compensation Mix” on page 46 for additional information about the amount of salary and incentive compensation awarded to our NEOs in proportion to their total compensation. Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings reflects the annual change in actuarial present value of accumulated benefits under our Retirement Plan and Excess Benefit Plan. See “Post-Employment Benefits for 2025” beginning on page 63 for more information about our defined benefit plans and the assumptions used to calculate these amounts. No deferred compensation earnings are reported as our nonqualified deferred compensation plans do not provide above-market or preferential earnings. All Other Compensation aggregates our contributions to defined contribution plans and the limited perquisites we offer to our NEOs, which are described in more detail under “Other Benefits” beginning on page 53.

2025 Summary Compensation Table
“Personal Use of Corporate Aircraft” reflects our aggregate incremental cost of personal use of corporate aircraft by our NEOs, their spouses or other guests for 2025. We determine the incremental cost for personal use of our corporate aircraft based on the variable costs to operate the aircraft, including incremental aircraft fleet maintenance, but excluding fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilot compensation and the purchase and lease of aircraft. We believe this method provides a reasonable estimate of our incremental cost. No income tax assistance or gross-ups are provided for personal use of corporate aircraft. See “Other Benefits” beginning on page 53 for additional information regarding personal use of corporate aircraft by our NEOs. “Company Contributions to Defined Contribution Plans” reflects our contributions under our tax-qualified retirement plans and related nonqualified deferred compensation plans. See “Post-Employment Benefits for 2025” beginning on page 63 and “2025 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” beginning on page 66 for additional information. “Other” reflects our aggregate incremental cost for: (i) Company-sponsored activities at off-site Board meetings, (ii) for Ms. Mannen and Messrs. Hennigan, Aydt and Hessling, attendance by their respective spouses at selected business events where appropriate due to the nature of the event and the participant mix and (iii) the provision of certain digital protection services. Other for Mr. Hennigan also includes $242,309 for his vested but unused vacation benefit paid upon his retirement effective January 1, 2026. Other for Mr. Aydt also includes: (i) $183,133 for his vested but unused vacation benefit paid upon his retirement effective September 2, 2025, and (ii) $680,000 pursuant to a Consulting Agreement. We and Mr. Aydt entered into the Consulting Agreement, effective following his retirement, under which Mr. Aydt supported the transition of his executive role and related activities as an independent contractor through December 31, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid Mr. Aydt monthly consulting fees equal to $170,000 and reasonable expense reimbursement for his services. A copy of this agreement was filed as an exhibit to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards
*MPLX phantom units are granted under the 2018 MPLX Incentive Compensation Plan and valued on the basis of MPLX’s common unit price. Approval Dates. The MPC RSUs and PSUs granted on March 1, 2025 were approved by the Compensation and Organization Development Committee on January 23, 2025. The MPLX phantom units granted on March 1, 2025 were approved by the MPLX Committee on January 23, 2025. MPC RSUs generally vest in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date and are settled in MPC common stock. Unvested RSUs accrue dividend equivalents, which are paid on the scheduled vesting dates. Holders of unvested RSUs do not have voting rights. MPC PSUs generally vest following a 36-month performance period and are settled 100% in cash. Unvested PSUs do not accrue dividends or dividend equivalents and do not have voting rights. The target PSUs shown reflect the target dollar value of each award divided by the MPC common stock 30-day average closing price prior to the grant date. The threshold, which is the minimum possible payout, is met when the relative PSU TSR percentile achieved is 30th, resulting in a payout percentage of 50%. Performance below this threshold would result in no payout. The maximum payout percentage is 200% of target. For additional information on MPC PSUs, see “2025 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program—MPC PSUs” on page 51.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2025 Fiscal Year-End
Market Value of Equity Incentive Plan Awards That Have Not Vested reflects the aggregate value of all unvested MPC PSUs held on December 31, 2025, calculated using the MPC closing stock price ($162.63) on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of the year, and an assumed payout of 200% per unit, which is the next higher performance achievement that exceeds the performance for these awards measured as of December 31, 2025. Nonforfeitability of Certain Awards. As of December 31, 2025, each of Messrs. Hennigan and Hessling, and Ms. Benson, is eligible for an Approved Separation, under which their outstanding MPC RSUs, MPC PSUs and MPLX phantom units would become nonforfeitable should they resign under certain conditions, as further discussed under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Voluntary Termination—Approved Separation” on page 68. When certain awards become nonforfeitable, applicable taxes are immediately due. So that the participants do not have an out-of-pocket expense for these awards that have not yet distributed, the award is instead reduced to cover the tax obligation. These awards continue to be reflected in the tables above as they remain subject to distribution on their original vesting dates; however, the portions used to pay any associated taxes have been excluded from these tables and are instead included in the “Option Exercises and Stock Vested in 2025” table below.

*MPLX phantom units are granted under the 2018 MPLX Incentive Compensation Plan and valued on the basis of MPLX’s common unit price. Option Awards: Value Realized on Exercise reflects the actual pre-tax gain realized by our NEOs upon exercise of stock options, which is the fair market value of the shares at exercise less the per share grant price. We have not granted stock options to our NEOs since 2020. Stock Awards: Number of Shares/Units Acquired on Vesting includes the following numbers of shares/units used to pay the taxes associated with the vesting of certain awards held by the NEOs as discussed further under “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2025 Fiscal Year-End”: Mr. Hennigan, 466 MPC RSUs, 1,335 MPLX phantom units; Mr. Hessling, 98 MPC RSUs, 281 MPLX phantom units; Ms. Benson, 107 MPC RSUs, 306 MPLX phantom units; Mr. Aydt, 98 MPC RSUs, 281 MPLX phantom units.

2025 Pension Benefits
2025 Pension Benefits The following table reflects the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits payable to each NEO under the Retirement Plan (defined below) and the defined benefit portion of the Excess Benefit Plan (defined below) as of December 31, 2025. These values have been determined using actuarial assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements.

| Name | Plan Name | Number of Years Credited Service (#) | Present Value of Accumulated Benefit ($) | Payments During Last Fiscal Year ($) | | Mannen | Retirement Plan | 5.00 | 158,088 | — | | | Excess Benefit Plan | 5.00 | 1,169,614 | — | | Hennigan | Retirement Plan | 8.58 | 302,966 | — | | | Excess Benefit Plan | 8.58 | 3,929,065 | — | | Quaid | Retirement Plan | 11.58 | 330,197 | — | | | Excess Benefit Plan | 11.58 | 945,132 | — | | Hessling | Retirement Plan | 35.58 | 1,575,956 | — | | | Excess Benefit Plan | 35.58 | 957,272 | — | | Benson | Retirement Plan | 27.67 | 1,165,312 | — | | | Excess Benefit Plan | 27.67 | 822,789 | — | | Aydt | Retirement Plan | 40.25 | 637,083 | — | | | Excess Benefit Plan | 40.25 | 1,921,874 | 36,346 |
2025 Pension Benefits
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 only to Messrs. Hessling and Aydt, and Ms. Benson) was frozen as of December 31, 2009. Present Value of Accumulated Benefit for the legacy benefits under the Retirement Plan was calculated assuming an 85% lump sum election rate with a lump sum interest rate between 0.75% and 2.50% (based on anticipated year of retirement) and the RP-2000 mortality table, and a 15% annuity election rate with a discount rate of 5.50% 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 "Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit 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 5.50%, a cash balance interest credit rating of 4.19% in 2025, 4.75% in 2026 and 4.84% in 2027 and beyond, and the Pri-2012 mortality table with generational mortality improvements in accordance with Scale MP-2021. See "Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit Retirement Plan" below for more detail on the cash balance benefit formula.
Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit 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.

Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
Legacy Benefit Prior to 2010, the monthly benefit was determined under the following legacy benefit formula:
Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
| Legacy Monthly Benefit = [(1.6% x Monthly Final Average Pay) – (1.33% x Monthly Estimated Primary Social Security Benefit)] x Years of Participation |
Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
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 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. 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. Participants are eligible for early retirement upon reaching age 50 and completing 10 years of vesting service. If a participant retires between the ages of 50 and 62 with sufficient vesting service, the amount of benefit under the legacy benefit formula is reduced by 3% for each full year between the retirement date and the participant’s 62nd birthday. Mr. Hessling and Ms. Benson each have legacy retirement benefits under the plan that remain subject to reduction as neither executive has reached age 62. 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 of December 31, 2025, Ms. Benson was the only NEO eligible to elect an in-service distribution. Cash Balance Benefit Starting in 2010, benefit accruals are determined under the following cash balance formula:
Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
| Cash Balance Annual Benefit = (Annual Compensation x Pay Credit Percentage) + (Account Balance x Interest Credit Rate) |
Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
Participants receive pay credit percentages based on the sum of their age and cash balance service: participants with fewer than 50 points receive pay credits equal to 7% of compensation; participants with 50-69 points receive pay credits equal to 9% of compensation; and participants with 70 or more points receive pay credits equal to 11% of compensation. For 2025, Messrs. Hennigan, Hessling and Aydt, and Ms. Benson, received pay credits equal to 11% of compensation, and Ms. Mannen and Mr. Quaid received pay credits equal to 9% of compensation. Annual compensation is limited to $350,000 for 2025 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.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
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, 2025, 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. For more information about our retirement and deferred compensation programs, see “Post-Employment Benefits for 2025” beginning on page 63 and “2025 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” beginning on page 66.
CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio SEC rules require us to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO, Ms. Mannen, to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than Ms. Mannen). We identified our median employee as of November 30, 2024 by analyzing the accumulated actual wages and bonus amounts paid to each employee, other than our CEO, from January 1, 2024 through November 30, 2024. 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 18,448 full-time regular, part-time, casual and international employees (consisting of 18,371 employees in the U.S. and 77 employees outside the U.S.), as of November 30, 2024. As permitted by SEC rules, we excluded for administrative convenience our employees from the following non-U.S. jurisdictions: Canada (7 employees), Mexico (57 employees), Peru (1 employee), Singapore (8 employees) and United Kingdom (4 employees), which together accounted for approximately 0.42% of our total employee population. As 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 2024 as our median employee for 2025. We calculated our median employee’s total compensation using the same methodology required by the SEC rules for disclosure of compensation to the CEO in the “2025 Summary Compensation Table” on page 57.

Average Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO NEOs and Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non- PEO NEOs include the following non-PEO NEOs for each year shown: •2025: Mr. Hennigan, Mr. Quaid, Mr. Hessling, Ms. Benson and Mr. Aydt •2024: Mr. Quaid, Mr. Aydt, Mr. Hessling and Ms. Benson •2023: Ms. Mannen, Mr. Aydt, Suzanne Gagle and Gregory S. Floerke •2022: Ms. Mannen, Ms. Gagle, Mr. Aydt, Mr. Floerke and Raymond L. Brooks •2021: Ms. Mannen, Mr. Brooks, Ms. Gagle, Brian C. Davis, Donald C. Templin and Timothy T. Griffith Value of Initial Fixed $100 Investment assumes that the value of the investment in our common stock and in the peer group (including reinvestment of dividends) was $100 at market close on December 31, 2020 (the last trading day of 2020), and tracks such investment through market close on the last trading day of each applicable year. Total Shareholder Return (“MPC TSR”) is calculated for purposes of this column in accordance with Exchange Act Regulation S-K Item 402(v)(2)(iv), which is different than the PSU TSR calculation used for the MPC Relative TSR Performance Percentile shown in the final column of this table. Peer Group Total Shareholder Return is shown for the S&P 500 Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing Sub-Industry Index, the same peer group used for the Stock Return Performance Graph included in our 2025 Annual Report. MPC Relative TSR Performance Percentile is based on the relative TSR metric used for the MPC PSUs, discussed in more detail beginning on page 51. Amounts shown in this table for each year reflect MPC’s one-year PSU TSR relative to the one- year PSU TSR of the peer group used for the MPC PSUs awarded for that year. For example, the amount shown for 2025 reflects MPC’s one-year PSU TSR performance relative to the PSU TSR performance of the peer group used for the 2025 PSUs as shown on page 51. As shown on page 46 under “2025 Target Compensation Mix,” a significant portion of our NEOs’ total target compensation is awarded in the form of MPC PSUs; thus, the Compensation and Organization Development Committee believes the MPC Relative TSR Performance Percentile is the most important financial measure used to link NEO compensation for 2025 to MPC’s performance. Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) for 2025 is calculated in accordance with SEC Regulation S-K, Item 402(v)(2)(iii) and includes the aggregate of: •Salary earned for 2025, as shown in the “Salary” column of the “2025 Summary Compensation Table” (“SCT”) on page 57. •The total ACB award earned for 2025, paid in 2026, as shown in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the SCT. •MPC’s aggregate contributions in 2025 to defined contribution plans and the value of 2025 perquisites, as shown in the “All Other Compensation” column of the SCT. This value was earned and received in 2025. •The actuarial present value of each officer’s benefit under our defined benefit pension plans attributable to services rendered during 2025, determined by our actuary using actuarial assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements. This value was earned in 2025 but will not be received until a future date. •For LTI awards made in 2025 that were outstanding as of December 31, 2025, the fair value of these awards as of December 31, 2025. This value was not received in 2025, but is representative of estimated potential value that may be received in the future. •For LTI awards made prior to 2025 that were outstanding as of December 31, 2025, the year-over-year change in fair value of these awards from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2025. This value was not received in 2025, but is representative of the change in estimated potential value that may be received in the future. •For LTI awards made in 2025 that distributed in 2025, the fair value of these awards as of the distribution date. This value was received in 2025.

•For LTI awards made prior to 2025 that distributed in 2025, the change in fair value of these awards from December 31, 2024, to the distribution date. Our NEOs may have received more or less than this value in 2025, as the amount included here only reflects the change in value from December 31, 2024, through the distribution date. •LTI awards made prior to 2025 that were forfeited in 2025 are subtracted from CAP using the fair value of such awards as of December 31, 2024. This decreases CAP and reflects value that will not be received. •Dividend equivalents (MPC) and distribution equivalents (MPLX) accrued during 2025 on unvested LTI awards. As these accrued dividends/distribution equivalents are paid when the underlying award distributes, this value was received in 2025 only in respect of the underlying awards that distributed in 2025. 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 2025. 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 2025 CAP values reflect the following additions and deductions to the SCT totals.
