<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">There is no need to emphasize the importance of Simple Majority voting
provisions, the topics of Proposals 6 and 8 in the 2023 proxy because 84% of Eli Lilly shareholders, who voted at the 2022 MPC annual
meeting, voted in favor of Simple Majority voting provisions. This is all the more impressive because it is possible that the Lilly Endowment,
Inc. cast the overwhelming majority of the relatively small percentage of votes against this important topic in 2022.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The problem is that in order to adopt the topic of Proposals 6 and
8 &ndash; 80% of all Eli Lilly shares outstanding must approve. The problem is that only 70% of LLY shares outstanding voted in favor
at the 2022 LLY annual meeting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The LLY Board&rsquo;s description of Proposal 6 in the 2023 proxy
shows no enthusiasm for support of its proposal 6. And no promise to make any extra effort to obtain the needed 80% support. Plus
there is no discussion of the need to obtain the support of the Lilly Endowment which is apparently important to approval of this
proposal topic that is overwhelmingly supported by the vast majority of other LLY shareholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Please consider a vote against Mr. Juan Luciano, Chair of the Governance
Committee, to send a message the he needs to show more energy to get more shareholders to cast ballots for Proposals 6 and 8 and he needs
to get the support of the Lilly Endowment.</P>
