<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As long-term shareholders of Home Depot, we have been drawn to the
Company's commitment to corporate responsibility. However, we find it necessary to file this shareholder proposal due to our concern that
Home Depot's political spending practices are contradicting its efforts and high aspirations in corporate responsibility, ultimately jeopardizing
its business interests. We believe that enhanced accountability to shareholders is imperative. Therefore, the annual report we propose
aims to institutionalize greater transparency and accountability within Home Depot's political spending process.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Home Depot initially paused donations to the 147 members
of Congress who voted against certifying the 2020 election results. Since then, Home Depot has donated at least $862,000 to federal and
state legislators who objected to the 2020 election, making it the <B>fifth largest corporate donor of election deniers </B>(https://tinyurl.com/2p9czazc).
When asked about this reversal, Sara Gorman, the Company&#8217;s senior director of corporate communications, did not address 2020 election
denial efforts and instead said, &#8220;Our associate-funded PAC is bipartisan. It supports candidates and organizations on both sides
of the aisle who champion pro-business, pro-retail positions that create jobs and economic growth&#8221; (https://tinyurl.com/4cvmy8v5).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Moreover, in 2021, Home Depot stated that it would &quot;continue
to underscore [its] statement that all elections should be accessible, fair and secure and support broad voter participation&#8221; (https://tinyurl.com/3k3s7zxt).
However, during the 2022 election cycle, Home Depot contributed at least $845,000 to members of Congress who opposed federal voting rights
legislation. The Company also contributed at least $55,750 to state officials who voted for anti-voter legislation. Altogether, these
actions have resulted in Home Depot receiving an &#8220;F&#8221; rating in Accountable U.S.&#8217;s American Democracy Scorecard measuring

ESG priorities is to &#8220;operate sustainably,&#8221; which encompasses goals related to climate change and environmental sustainability
such as reduction of the Company&#8217;s carbon and plastics footprint, water conservation, and responsible chemistry. In introducing
the ESG Report, CEO Ted Decker states that &#8220;as the world's largest home improvement retailer, we recognize our unique position to
leverage our scale to enact positive change throughout our business operations and supplier relationship,&#8221; again noting that &#8220;when
we invest in running a responsible, sustainable company, we make our business stronger, more agile, and more resilient. That encourages

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">In pursuit of its sustainability objectives, Home Depot has
set a science-based target of reducing carbon emissions by 50% by 2035. Toward that end, the Company has already surpassed its initial
energy reduction goal for its U.S. stores. Yet, Home Depot&#8217;s membership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, known for its efforts
to obstruct climate regulation, raises concerns, considering that the Company does not restrict its trade associations from using its
membership fees to make political donations. As a result, it is difficult to know the full extent to which the Company is indirectly subsidizing
opposition to climate progress.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">As reported by the Change the Chamber Coalition, the <B>Chamber
of Commerce has been actively working to support fossil fuel companies and undermine efforts to shift to a less carbon intensive economy.
</B>Just this year, the Chamber submitted an amicus brief in support of Exxon&#8217;s litigation against shareholders who submitted a
proposal seeking enhanced disclosures regarding Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions (https://tinyurl.com/2smcacw5) &#8211; a category already
reported on by Home Depot (https://tinyurl.com/bdebw667). Other significant actions that the Chamber has undertaken in this regard include:
issuing statements and amicus briefs supporting fossil fuel infrastructure developments, co-hosting press calls with the American Petroleum
Institute to advocate for increased drilling on federal lands, and seeking to delay action from the Securities and Exchange Commission
in its intention to develop reporting requirements related to climate change (https://bit.ly/3FsKCWa).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">In 2022, the Chamber continued to undermine climate change
advocacy efforts. InfluenceMap, a think tank that monitors corporate climate lobbying, found that 25 out of 39 policy positions the Chamber
took on climate policy in 2022 were negative (https://tinyurl.com/47wjwxr7). The Chamber has continued to oppose legislative and regulatory
attempts at climate regulation, including the Inflation Reduction Act. InfluenceMap explained that &#8220;there has been no material improvement
in the US Chamber&#8217;s climate change lobbying over the past 5 years, despite an evolution in the group&#8217;s high-level PR messaging
around climate&#8221; (https://tinyurl.com/59cws8ez).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: 1pt">Other companies have taken action to address
incongruences between the Chamber of Commerce&#8217;s views and their own. For example, after the Chamber filed a lawsuit against the
Environmental Protection Agency (&#8220;EPA&#8221;) for its ruling on regulating greenhouse gas emissions, Nike Inc. stepped away from
its membership, stating that it &#8220;fundamentally disagrees with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on the issue of climate change and their
recent action challenging the [EPA] is inconsistent with our view that climate change is an issue in need of urgent action.&#8221; (https://cbsn.ws/3snU08i).
Over 100 companies have quit the Chamber of Commerce as a result of its climate change policies (https://bit.ly/3vUcjUP).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Home Depot has evidenced a strong commitment to gender equality
through its support of a women&#8217;s employee resource group known as &#8220;The Women&#8217;s Link,&#8221; in addition to other actions
such as the provision of strong reproductive health and maternity benefits. The Company also affirmed in its latest Annual Report that
&#8220;we believe that having a diverse, equitable and inclusive Company is key to our success&#8221; (https://tinyurl.com/5edk8nmy).
These efforts are warranted, given that women constituted 38% of all employees (and 35% of management) of Home Depot&#8217;s 2022 U.S.
workforce (https://tinyurl.com/2p9rv2d8).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">However, based on public data from the 2024 cycle, Home Depot
has already contributed to at least 17 federal candidates who have publicly opposed diversity, equity and inclusion (&#8220;DEI&#8221;),
despite the Company&#8217;s acknowledgment that &#8220;[DEI] actions support our business objectives by promoting associate satisfaction
and retention, community partnerships, and innovation&#8221; (https://tinyurl.com/y3j6ffrb). This support was directed at candidates like
Rep. Jim Banks, who has stated that the &#8220;DEI apparatus is based in faulty science and misguided principles&#8221; (https://tinyurl.com/yrzsksze).
Additionally, we estimate that in the 2020 to 2022 election cycles, Home Depot and its employee PAC have made political <B>donations totaling
nearly $4.65 million to politicians and political organizations working to weaken access to reproductive health care, </B>including abortion
and in vitro fertilization (&#8220;IVF&#8221;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Nearly 792 (40%) of Home Depot stores are located in the
24 states that ban or severely restrict abortion access (https://bit.ly/3lPPgZ4; https://tinyurl.com/3vfratza; https://tinyurl.com/3vfratza).
Contributing to the advancement of further restrictions to reproductive health care, even as an unintended byproduct of political spending,
is likely not an activity welcomed by most of the Company&#8217;s employees. Public support for legal abortion has remained high even
after the <I>Dobbs</I> decision &#8211; as of June 2023, 69% of Americans support the <I>Roe v. Wade </I>framework that formerly regulated
the legality of abortion (https://tinyurl.com/mujdpc9x). Similarly, a recent poll conducted by CBS News/YouGov revealed that an overwhelming
86% of Americans support the legality of IVF for women (https://tinyurl.com/3e9y3mhf). Considering the widespread public support for reproductive
health care access, Home Depot may need to reassess its political contributions to align more closely with its stated commitments and
the values of its employees and customers.</P>

political spenders (https://tinyurl.com/y4x3wc5k), published its first periodic &#8220;Political Congruency Report&#8221; in response
to a shareholder resolution calling for such disclosure. The report identifies key legislation to AT&amp;T's political and corporate sustainability

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Cigna Group, which also ranks in the top 1% of political contributors,
similarly committed to expanding its political spending reporting to include metrics that illuminate and track congruency between its
donations and the company&#8217;s stated business priorities. The new data will be reported annually, beginning in 2024 (https://tinyurl.com/4445px2h).
In its first disclosure of this nature, Cigna not only published metrics reflecting aggregated policy issue alignment for candidates and
political organizations, but also provided a policy responding to persistent misalignment (which Home Depot has not articulated) with
respect to political contributions: &#8220;Candidates or political organizations that received PAC or corporate contributions and are
rated as misaligned for three or more business policy priorities over two or more legislative terms will be subject to additional review
to determine if any action(s) should be taken, including ceasing future contribution&#8221; (https://tinyurl.com/547j8fad).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Relatedly, several companies have released reports delving into the
incongruity between their policy endeavors, operational strategies, and expenditures on lobbying and trade association affiliations. Notably,
some firms committed to combating climate change have undertaken &#8220;industry association reviews,&#8221; systematically evaluating
the extent to which their involvement in specific trade associations aligns with their climate objectives. These reviews not only outline
the alignment status &#8211; whether fully, partially, or misaligned &#8211; but also elucidate the methodologies employed by the companies
and their protocols for rectifying any misalignment. The proposed resolution urges the Company to disclose both aggregate metrics and
protocols addressing political spending incongruency, aligning with the best practices set by other corporate reports of similar nature.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">For instance, following the enactment of a 2019 stringent abortion
ban in Georgia, where Home Depot employs more than 34,000 workers, a Home Depot spokesperson asserted the Company&#8217;s neutrality,
stating that abortion was &#8220;a very personal issue to the individual so we don&#8217;t see it as our place to weigh in&#8221; (https://bit.ly/3fgmTxh).
Yet, this assertion of neutrality is undermined by the abovementioned spending data reflecting support for anti-choice candidates. In
the same year, facing a boycott, Home Depot found it necessary to distance itself from the political views of its retired founder, Bernie
Marcus (https://bit.ly/2QENCtn). This situation recurred in 2022 when Home Depot encountered public backlash over Mr. Marcus's $1.75 million
in donations to the Georgia Senate campaign of Herschel Walker, who vehemently opposed reproductive rights (https://tinyurl.com/2yjb3sjy).
Furthermore, in response to contributions to candidates who deny the results of the 2020 election, Home Depot has continued to gain significant

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Moreover, <B>political spending disclosure is increasingly vital for

Presented as a &#8220;friendly amendment&#8221; to existing governance procedures, it aims to refine Home Depot's political giving criteria,
aligning it more closely with the Company's core values and prioritized areas of public policy and business interest. Such alignment would
mitigate surprises, reduce risks to stakeholders and democratic institutions, and minimize reputation risk. A vote in favor would encourage
management and the Board of Directors to enhance transparency and alignment in political spending, safeguarding the Company's reputation

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>WHEREAS:</B> Public data collected by OpenSecrets.org show that
Home Depot and its PAC rank in the top 0.5% of political donors.<SUP>1</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As long-term shareholders of Home Depot, we support transparency and
accountability in corporate electoral spending. Informed disclosure is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders. As the
Supreme Court recognized in its 2010 <I>Citizens United</I> decision, such transparency &#8220;permits citizens and shareholders to react
to the speech of corporate entities in a proper way&#8221; and &#8220;enables the electorate to make informed decisions and give proper
weight to different speakers and messages.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Greater political spending transparency is associated with increased
investment levels, both domestic and foreign, and decreased investment volatility.<SUP>2</SUP> Increased institutional investment, increased
analyst following, and decreased analyst forecast error and forecast dispersion are all positively correlated with greater political spending
transparency.<SUP>3</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Conversely, the American Bar Association has noted that political donations
to candidates that do not fully align with a company&#8217;s stated values and commitments are likely to create risks to the company,
including difficulties in recruiting and retaining talented employees, shareholder dissatisfaction, and public backlash and boycotts.<SUP>4</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Home Depot publicly discloses a policy on corporate political spending
and its direct contributions to candidates, parties, and committees. However, we believe this is deficient because Home Depot does not
disclose information regarding misalignment between its political spending and the company&#8217;s publicly stated values and vision as
articulated in its latest ESG Report.<SUP>5</SUP> Investors are unable to determine if Home Depot is directing its political expenditures
in a way that is consistent with company values and interests and mitigates reputation risk.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">To minimize values misalignment and reputation and brand risk, Home
Depot should establish clear policies and reporting on such misalignment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>RESOLVED:</B> Shareholders request that Home Depot annually report,
at reasonable expense, on its political and electioneering expenditures, identifying and analyzing any trends indicating incongruence
between expenditures and publicly stated company values and policies; and stating whether the identified incongruencies have or will lead
to a change in future expenditures or contributions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>SUPPORTING STATEMENT:</B> Proponents recommend, at management discretion,
that Home Depot include in its analysis metrics that illuminate the degree to which political contributions align with stated values and
policy priorities year over year, and present such metrics in the aggregate. Proponents further recommend that the report also contain
management&#8217;s analysis of risks to our company&#8217;s brand, reputation, or shareholder value of political spending, including expenditures
for electioneering communications, that conflict with publicly stated company values. &#8220;Expenditures for electioneering communications&#8221;
means spending, from the corporate treasury and from its PACs, during the year, directly or through third parties, in printed, internet,
or broadcast communications, which are reasonably susceptible to interpretation as being in support of or in opposition to a specific
candidate.</P>
