Cast Your Vote Right Away
It is very important that you vote. Please cast your vote right away on all of the proposals listed above to ensure that your shares are represented. For specific instructions on how to vote your shares, please refer to the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) you received in the mail or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, on your enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form.
Notice and Access

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the 2026 Annual Stockholder Meeting To Be Held on May 7, 2026: This Notice of the 2026 Annual Meeting, the 2026 Proxy Statement and the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available, free of charge, at www.proxyvote.com.

We will be furnishing proxy materials over the internet to a number of our stockholders under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) notice and access rules. Many of our stockholders will receive the Notice in the mail instead of a paper copy of this Proxy Statement, a proxy card or voting instruction card and our 2025 Annual Report. We believe that this process will reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting as well as reduce the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials. The Notice will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the internet.
All stockholders who do not receive the Notice will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials and our 2025 Annual Report by mail, unless they have previously elected to receive proxy materials by email. We remind stockholders who receive the Notice that the Notice is not itself a proxy card and should not be returned with voting instructions. The Notice only presents an overview of the more complete proxy materials. Stockholders should review the proxy materials before voting.
The Notice contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials and vote over the internet at www.proxyvote.com and how stockholders may receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement, a proxy card or voting instruction card and our 2025 Annual Report. At www.proxyvote.com, stockholders may also request to receive future proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email.
By the Order of the Board of Directors.

PROXY STATEMENT

Solicitation
The solicitation of the enclosed proxy is made on behalf of the Board of Directors of Murphy USA Inc. (the “Board”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 7, 2026, and Murphy USA will bear the cost of this solicitation of proxies. It is expected that the Notice will be mailed to stockholders beginning on or about March 26, 2026.
The complete mailing address of the Company’s principal executive office is 200 East Peach Street, El Dorado, Arkansas 71730.
References in this Proxy Statement to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” and “Murphy USA” refer to Murphy USA Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Quorum and Voting Procedures
Quorum Requirement
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of the Company’s stock entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present for establishing a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs on a proposal when brokers or nominees who do not have discretionary power to vote on a non-routine matter have not been given voting instructions on a non-routine matter by the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote.
How to attend the Annual Meeting and how to vote
If you are a stockholder of record or a participant in a Company Plan, you can vote your shares via the internet or by telephone 24 hours a day by following the instructions on your proxy card or in the Notice. The website address for internet voting, and the telephone number for telephone voting, are indicated on your proxy card or in the Notice. If you are a beneficial owner, or if you hold your shares in “street name” (that is, through a bank, broker or other nominee), please check your voting instruction form or contact your bank, broker or nominee to determine whether you will be able to vote via the internet or by telephone.
If you requested printed proxy materials and choose to vote by mail, you must complete, sign, date and return your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided if you are a stockholder of record, or your voting instruction form if you hold your shares in “street name.” Please promptly mail your proxy card
or voting instruction form to ensure that it is received prior to the Annual Meeting.
To vote during the Annual Meeting, you must be in attendance. You must bring a valid government- issued picture identification in order to attend the Annual Meeting. Those in attendance will also have an opportunity to ask questions during the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote by proxy as described above prior to the Annual Meeting, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must also bring a copy of a statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date in order to attend the Annual Meeting. You must also obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee and present it to the inspector of elections with your ballot to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Vote Necessary to Approve Proposals
General
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by the Company to act as Inspectors of Election for the Annual Meeting.
Your proxy will be voted at the meeting, unless you (i) revoke it at any time before the vote by filing a revocation with the Corporate Secretary of the Company, (ii) duly execute a proxy card bearing a later date, (iii) submit a later proxy by telephone or internet, or (iv) appear at the meeting and vote in person. If you elect to vote your proxy by telephone or internet before the meeting as described in the telephone/internet voting instructions on your proxy card, the Company will vote your shares as you direct. Your telephone/internet vote authorizes the named proxies to vote your shares in the same manner as if you had marked, signed and returned your proxy card.
If you are a stockholder of record and sign, date and return your proxy card but do not give voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board.
The Board recommends that you vote:
•FOR all the director nominees (Proposal 1),
•FOR the approval of the Audit Committee in appointing KPMG LLP as the Company's

MURPHY USA INC. 2026 PROXY STATEMENT |  | PAGE 1

Table of Contents

PROXY STATEMENT | VOTING SECURITIES

independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026 (Proposal 2),
•FOR the approval of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement (on an advisory, non-binding basis) (Proposal 3),
•FOR the management proposal to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to phase-out the classification of the Board of Directors and provide for the annual election of directors (Proposal 4),
•FOR the management proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to enable adoption of stockholders' right to call special meetings of stockholders (Proposal 5), and
•AGAINST the stockholder proposal - give shareholders the ability to call for a special shareholder meeting (Proposal 6).
Shares represented by properly executed proxies that do not specify voting instructions will be voted in accordance with the Board's recommendations.
Proposal 1 – Election of Four Class I Directors Whose Current Terms Expire on the Date of the 2026 Annual Meeting
The Class I directors nominated in Proposal 1 shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting so long as a quorum is present and the election is not contested. You may vote “for,” “against” or “abstain” on each director. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” shall have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. See "Director Nominees" within Proposal 1 for additional information concerning Murphy USA's mandatory resignation policy in the event an incumbent director nominee fails to receive a majority of votes cast in an uncontested election.
Proposals 2, 3 and 6
For Proposals 2, 3 and 6, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our capital stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter is required for approval. You may vote “for,” “against” or “abstain” on these matters. If you vote to “abstain,” it will have the same effect as a vote “against” for these proposals. “Broker non-votes” shall have no effect on the outcome of Proposals 2, 3 and 6.
Proposals 4 and 5
For Proposals 4 and 5, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote is required for approval. If you vote to “abstain,” it will have the same effect as a vote “against” for these proposals. “Broker non-votes” shall have the same effect as a vote “against” for these proposals.
Broker Voting
If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record (a “nominee”), you will receive instructions from the nominee that you must follow in order for your shares to be voted. Certain of these institutions offer telephone and internet voting. Under current New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year (Proposal 2) should be considered a routine matter, and your broker is permitted to vote your shares without your instruction only on this proposal.
Voting Securities
On March 9, 2026, the record date for the meeting, the Company had 18,500,160 shares of common stock outstanding, all of one class and each share having one vote with respect to all matters to be voted on at the meeting. Information as to common stock ownership of certain beneficial owners and management is set forth in the tables under “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners” and “Security Ownership of Directors and Management” included on pages 21 and 22 of this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 1 |  |  | ELECTION OF FOUR CLASS I DIRECTORS WHOSE CURRENT TERMS EXPIRE ON THE DATE OF THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING

The Board recognizes that it is important for the Company’s directors to possess a diverse array of backgrounds and skills, whether in terms of executive management leadership, public company experience or educational achievement. When considering new candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee, with input from the Board, will seek to ensure the Board reflects a range of talents, ages, skills, diversity and expertise, particularly in the areas of accounting and finance, management, government/regulation, leadership and convenience store and other retail-related industries, sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to our operations and interests. In addition, although it does not have a separate policy with respect to diversity, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the issue of diversity among the factors used to identify nominees for directors and is committed to seeking out a representative pool of candidates for each board opening. The goal is to assemble and maintain a Board comprised of individuals that not only possess a high level of business acumen, but who also demonstrate a commitment to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in carrying out the Board’s responsibilities with respect to oversight of the Company’s operations.
To the extent authorized by the proxies, the shares represented by the proxies will be voted in favor of the election of the four nominees for director whose names are set forth below. If for any reason any of these nominees is not a candidate when the election occurs, the shares represented by the proxies will be voted for the election of the other nominees named and may be voted for any substituted nominees or the Board size may be reduced.
All directors, other than Mr. Clyde (our former President and Chief Executive Officer) and Ms. West, Mr. Clyde's successor in that role, were determined to be independent by the Board based on the rules of the NYSE and the standards of independence included in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. As part of its independence recommendation to the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee at its February meeting considered familial relationships of certain directors (Mr. Murphy and Mr. Deming are first cousins).
Mr. Murphy became the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board in connection with the spin-off of the Company from Murphy Oil Corporation (the “Spin-Off”), which was completed on August 30, 2013. As an independent chairman, he leads our regularly
scheduled meetings of independent directors in executive session, held outside the presence of Company management. These meetings occur at a minimum of three Board meetings each year.
Stockholders and other interested parties may send communications to the Board, specified individual directors and the independent directors as a group c/o the Corporate Secretary, Murphy USA Inc., 200 East Peach Street, El Dorado, Arkansas 71730. Communications will be kept confidential and forwarded to the specified director(s). Items that are unrelated to a director’s duties and responsibilities as a Board member, such as junk mail, may be excluded by the Corporate Secretary. The names and relevant detail of the nominees are listed below.
Director Nominees
Our Board is currently divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Messrs. Deming, Taylor, Kulp and Ms. Phillips, who are Class I directors, have been nominated for re-election at this Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Class II and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2027 and 2028, respectively. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for three-year terms to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. If the proposed amendments in Proposal 4 are approved by our stockholders, Article 6(C), (D) and (E) of our Certificate of Incorporation would be amended to provide that directors previously elected by our stockholders to three-year terms of office, including those directors elected at this Annual Meeting of Stockholders, would complete their three-year terms. Thereafter, they or their successors would be elected to one-year terms at each future annual meeting of stockholders. Beginning at our 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the declassification of the Board would be complete, and all directors would be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to one-year terms.
This section details the name, age, class, qualifications and committee memberships of our directors as of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Pursuant to our Bylaws, in an uncontested election of directors for which a quorum is present, should any incumbent director nominee fail to receive a majority of the votes cast, such director shall promptly tender a resignation to the Board. The resignation will be effective only upon the acceptance by the Board, and the Nominating and Governance Committee will

promptly consider the tendered resignation and make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board must act on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee within ninety (90) days following certification of the stockholder vote.

BOARD AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Board Leadership Structure
The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Murphy USA are currently held by two individuals. Mr. Murphy serves as our Chairman of the Board as a non-executive and independent director. Ms. West serves as our President & Chief Executive Officer, and also serves as a director. Along with Mr. Murphy and Ms. West, other directors bring different perspectives and roles to the Company’s management, oversight and strategic development. The Company’s directors bring experience and expertise from both inside and outside the Company and industry, while the President & Chief Executive Officer is most familiar with the Company’s business and industry, most involved in the Company’s day-to-day operations and most capable of leading the execution of the Company’s strategy. The Board believes that having separate roles of Chairman and President & Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of stockholders at this time because it facilitates independent oversight of management.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company’s strategy,
initiatives, policies and practices on ESG matters, including climate-related matters, that are significant to the Company, as well as the Company’s reporting of its ESG performance.
Our ESG strategy is overseen by the ESG Steering Committee, a group comprised of our CEO, Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents. This ESG strategy is implemented at a functional level by an ESG working group, which is comprised of cross-functional subject matter experts from across the business.
As part of our commitment to ESG, we are also focused on transparently reporting on our progress. In 2025, we published our fourth Environmental, Social and Governance Summary that considered internationally recognized standards and frameworks, such as the Value Reporting Foundation’s Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards. This summary represents our continued commitment to report on the sustainability of our business strategy and other important ESG topics. We will also continue to annually disclose our EEO-1 report on our website.
For more information about our ESG program please visit our website. https://ir.corporate.murphyusa.com(1)

Nothing on our website, including our impact report or our ESG Summary, shall be deemed part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Proxy Statement. Some of these statements and reports contain cautionary statements regarding forward-looking information that should be carefully considered. Our statements and our reports about our objectives may include statistics or metrics that are estimates, make assumptions based on developing standards that may change, and provide aspirational goals that are not intended to be promises or guarantees.

BOARD AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS | RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk Management
Our Company’s management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks to the Company. The Board has broad oversight responsibility for our risk management programs.
The Board exercises risk management oversight and control both directly and indirectly, the latter through various board committees as discussed below. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, including the risks associated with each. The Executive Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of financial and cybersecurity risks and the ethical conduct of the Company’s business,
including the steps the Company has taken to monitor and mitigate these risks. The Nominating and Governance Committee, in its role of reviewing and maintaining the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, manages risks associated with the independence of the Board and potential conflicts of interest, along with the Company’s ESG process and governance. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of these risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports and by the President & Chief Executive Officer about the known risks to the strategy and the business. The Board of Directors does not believe that its role in risk-oversight has been affected by having separate roles of Chairman and President & Chief Executive Officer.

BOARD AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS | MEETINGS AND ATTENDANCE

Meetings and Attendance
During fiscal year 2025, there were five meetings of the Board. All nominees’ attendance exceeded 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and committees on which they served. Pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, non-employee directors, all of whom are independent, must meet in executive session, without management, in conjunction with at least three regularly scheduled Board meetings per year, and did so in 2025. Mr. Murphy, in his role as Chairman of the Board, presided at these executive sessions. Also, as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, all Board members are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Compensation of Directors
Directors who are employees of Murphy USA do not receive compensation for their services on the Board. Our Board determines annual retainers and other compensation for non-employee directors. The primary elements of our non-employee director compensation program include a combination of cash and equity. In 2025, the cash component consisted of an annual retainer for each non-employee director in the amount of $105,000, plus an additional annual retainer for each chair as follows:
•Chairman of the Board: $195,000
•Audit Committee Chair: $25,000
•Executive Compensation Committee Chair: $20,000
•Nominating & Governance Committee Chair: $17,500
All elements of cash components are paid in quarterly installments. The Company also reimburses directors for travel, lodging and other related expenses they incur in attending Board and Committee meetings.
In addition to the cash component, the non-employee directors receive an annual grant of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") which, beginning with grants made in 2025, cliff vest after one year. Each non-employee director who was providing services on the Board as of February 13, 2025, received a restricted stock unit grant with a target value of $170,000 on such date. Mr. Haley, who commenced service on the Board on May 1, 2025, received a pro-rated equity grant (including proportion of the cash component of the annual retainer). RSUs awarded to non-employee directors include a right to receive dividend equivalent units, to be paid upon the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in settlement of the underlying RSU.
Non-employee directors may elect to defer his or her annual cash retainers into fully vested restricted stock units issued under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, with settlement upon termination of Board service. Likewise, time-based restricted stock units awarded in connection with the annual equity component of the Director compensation package may also be deferred, with settlement upon termination of service. Upon separation from service, shares and dividend equivalent units accrued with respect to restricted stock units are issued. The election to defer is made in the year preceding the calendar year in which the compensation is earned (or, in the case of a new director, within 30 days after their date of appointment, if later).
Further information regarding non-employee director compensation is set forth in the following table.

BOARD AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS | | | NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES AND PLEDGING

Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Guidelines and Pledging
The Board established stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors of the Company. Directors are expected to achieve stock ownership of at least three times their annual cash retainer within five years of beginning their service. A director may not pledge Company securities either by purchasing Company securities on margin or holding Company securities in a margin account, until he or she has achieved the applicable stock ownership target specified in the guidelines above. As of December 31, 2025, all of our directors had met or were on track to comply with these stock ownership guidelines within the applicable five-year period.
Once such stock ownership target has been achieved, a director is permitted to pledge Company securities in compliance with applicable law (including disclosure of such pledging in the Company’s proxy statement, as required by SEC regulations), so long as all stock owned to satisfy the applicable stock ownership target remains unpledged. Any pledging of shares must be disclosed to the Board and pre-approved by the General Counsel in advance of such pledging. These guidelines are designed to ensure that directors display confidence in the Company through the ownership of a significant amount of our stock. All of our directors are in compliance with our pledging policy.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Executive officers and directors are governed by the Company’s written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which provides that waivers of any part of the Code for directors or executive officers may only be granted by the Board of Directors or a Board committee and must be promptly disclosed to stockholders. No such waivers were granted nor applied for in fiscal year 2025. The Company intends to disclose any waivers of or amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our directors or executive officers on its website at https://ir.corporate.murphyusa.com. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines require that all directors recuse themselves from any discussion or decision affecting their personal, business or professional interests.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
During 2025, the Company did not engage in any related-person transactions involving members of the Board or executive officers. Conflicts of interest subject to the Company’s written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that constitute a Related Party Transaction, as defined under the rules of the SEC, shall be reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board.
The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews ordinary course of business transactions with firms associated with directors and nominees for director. The Company’s management also monitors these transactions on an ongoing basis.
Insider Trading Policy
We maintain insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our Company’s securities by directors, officers, and employees that we believe are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations, as well as NYSE listing standards. A copy of our insider trading policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our annual report on Form 10-K. In addition, it is our policy to comply with applicable securities and state laws, including insider trading laws, when engaging in transactions in the Company’s securities.

PROPOSAL 2 |  |  | RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL 2026

The Audit Committee and the Board have approved the engagement of KPMG LLP as Murphy USA’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. Representatives of that firm are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Ratification of the selection of accountants requires approval by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders of Murphy USA Common Stock, which votes are cast “for” or “against” the ratification. Murphy USA’s Board is requesting stockholder ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain KPMG LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of Murphy USA and its stockholders.
The Audit Committee evaluates the qualifications, performance, and independence of the independent auditor, including the lead partner, on an annual basis (in each case in light of SEC and NYSE independence and other applicable standards then in effect). The Audit Committee ensures the regular rotation of the lead audit partner as required by law and is involved in the selection of the lead audit partner. In addition, the Audit Committee receives periodic reports on the hiring of KPMG LLP partners and other professionals (if hired) to help ensure KPMG LLP satisfies applicable independence rules.
KPMG LLP has served as Murphy USA’s independent registered accounting firm since the Spin-Off in 2013 and prior to that served as the auditor to Murphy USA’s former parent for more than 60 years. KPMG LLP reports directly to the Audit Committee of Murphy USA. In selecting KPMG LLP as Murphy USA’s independent registered accounting firm for 2026, the Audit Committee considered a number of factors, including:
•the quality of its ongoing discussions with KPMG LLP, including the professional resolution of accounting and financial reporting matters with its national office,
•the professional qualifications of KPMG LLP, the lead audit partner and other key engagement partners,
•KPMG LLP’s independence program and its processes for maintaining its independence,
•KPMG LLP’s depth of understanding of Murphy USA’s businesses, accounting policies and practices and internal control over financial reporting,
•the appropriateness of KPMG LLP’s fees for audit and non-audit services (on both an absolute basis and as compared to its peer firms),
•consideration of KPMG LLP’s known legal risks and significant proceedings that may impair their ability to perform Murphy USA’s annual audit,
•the most recent PCAOB inspection report on KPMG LLP and the results of “peer review” and self-review examinations, and
•the results of management’s and the Audit Committee’s annual evaluations of the qualifications, performance and independence of KPMG LLP.
In addition, the Audit Committee periodically considers the appropriateness of a rotation of the independent registered accounting firm. At this time, the Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG LLP as Murphy USA’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of Murphy USA and its stockholders. Under Murphy USA’s policy for pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services by KPMG LLP, the Audit Committee has delegated the right to pre-approve services between meeting dates to the Chair of the Committee, subject to ratification of the full Committee at the next scheduled meeting. The Committee evaluates all services, including those engagements related to tax and internal control over financial reporting, considering the nature of such services in light of auditor independence, in accordance with the rules of the PCAOB.

PROPOSAL 2 | AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Audit Committee Report
Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of Murphy USA’s financial statements, for its accounting and financial reporting principles and for the establishment and effectiveness of internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), expressing an opinion as to the conformity of such financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The independent auditors have free access to the Audit Committee to discuss any matters they deem appropriate.
Committee Organization and Operation
The Audit Committee’s function is to assist the Board in its oversight of:
•The integrity of Murphy USA’s financial statements;
•Murphy USA’s internal control over financial reporting;
•Murphy USA’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
•The independent accountants’ qualifications, independence and performance;
•The performance of Murphy USA’s internal audit function; and
•Murphy USA’s IT risk exposure, including cybersecurity risks.
The Audit Committee is also directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of Murphy USA’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee’s charter is available in the Corporate Governance section of Murphy USA’s corporate website at https://ir.corporate.murphyusa.com.
The Audit Committee held seven meetings during 2025. The Audit Committee Chair and members of the Audit Committee also held numerous additional meetings throughout 2025 with members of Murphy USA corporate, business segment and internal audit management and with Murphy USA’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP. The Committee believes that these meetings were helpful in discharging its oversight responsibilities, including
with respect to financial reporting and disclosure, risk management and internal controls.
Independence
The Board, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are independent, as required by NYSE listing standards and SEC rules, and that they each met the Company’s enhanced independent standard for membership on the Company’s Audit Committee.
Expertise
The Board has also determined, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, that all members of the Audit Committee are financially literate and have accounting or related financial management expertise, each as defined by NYSE listing standards. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Murphy have been designated as the “audit committee financial experts,” as defined under SEC rules. The Audit Committee’s assistance in the Board oversight of Murphy USA’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements primarily focuses on the effect of such matters on Murphy USA’s financial statements, financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting.
Audited Financial Statements
In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has considered and discussed the 2025 audited financial statements with management and KPMG LLP, including a discussion of the quality, and not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, clarity of the disclosures and the condition of internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has reviewed with the Head of Internal Audit and the KPMG LLP engagement team the scope and plans for their respective audits and has met with each of the Head of Internal Audit and the senior engagement partner of KPMG LLP, with and without management present, to discuss audit results, their evaluations of Murphy USA’s internal controls and the overall quality of Murphy USA’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. Finally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with KPMG LLP its independence.

PROPOSAL 3 |  |  | APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ON AN ADVISORY, NON-BINDING BASIS

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“the Dodd-Frank Act”) enables the Company’s stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules.
As described in detail under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain the Named Executive Officers, who are critical to the Company’s success. Under these programs, the Named Executive Officers are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals, corporate goals and the realization of increased stockholder value. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” along with the information in the compensation tables for additional details about the executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2025 compensation of the Named Executive Officers.
Stockholders are asked to indicate their support for the Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the Named Executive Officers’ compensation. This
vote is being provided as required pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Stockholders are requested to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2025 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosures.”
The Say-on-Pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Executive Compensation Committee or the Board. The Board and the Executive Compensation Committee value the opinions of stockholders and will consider stockholders’ views and the Executive Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those views. We currently anticipate that the next Say-on-Pay vote will be held at our 2027 annual general meeting of stockholders.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NON-BINDING APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SEC.

Executive Leadership Transitions in 2025 and 2026
As noted above, during late 2025 and early 2026, the Company experienced a leadership transition, including the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer. As a result of years of thoughtful succession planning by our Board, and in light of the exceptional leadership of our senior executive team, we have been able to facilitate a transition while at the same time executing on our strategic and business goals, as described in more detail below in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
Mr. Clyde served as the Company's CEO during 2025 and as President until Ms. West's appointment to the role on October 23, 2025. Mr. Clyde retired as the Company's CEO and as a member of the Board effective December 31, 2025. Mr. Clyde served as a

Mr. Jeff departed from the Company effective as of October 14, 2025. At that time, the Board appointed Mr. Smith, the Company's VP, CAO and Treasurer, to also serve as the Company's interim CFO.
Overview
Murphy USA operates one of the nation’s largest convenience store chains, with a total of 1,800 stores in 27 states, located primarily in the Southwest, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast United States as of December 31, 2025, the majority of which are located in close proximity to Walmart Supercenters. The Company also markets gasoline and other products at standalone stores under the Murphy and QuickChek brands.
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Executive Compensation Committee (referred to as the “Committee” in this section) bases its executive compensation decisions on principles designed to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. The Committee believes the compensation program should provide a direct link between the Company’s values, objectives, business strategies, and financial results and compensation earned. In order to motivate, attract, and retain key executives who are critical to its long-term success, the Company aims to provide compensation packages that are competitive with others in the retail industry. In addition, the Company believes that executives should be rewarded for both the short- and long-term success of the Company and, conversely, be subject to a degree of downside risk in the event that the Company does not achieve its performance objectives.
Aligning Pay with Performance
The Committee believes our compensation programs provide a strong “pay for performance” link between the compensation provided to our executives and the Company’s performance, both on an absolute basis and relative to its peers. Consistent with the fundamental principle that compensation programs should pay for performance, the Company’s strong performance during 2025 directly impacted

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | 2025 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

compensation decisions and pay outcomes. Annual incentives for NEOs were earned at 77.4% of target, reflecting the Company’s 2025 performance relative to predefined targets. See pages 35-36 for additional information. Performance stock units (“PSUs”) linked to the Company’s performance for the three-year period ended in 2025 were earned at 165.3% of target. See page 38 for additional information.
We view performance in two ways: (1) the Company’s operating performance, including results against short- and long-term growth targets; and (2) return to stockholders over time, both on an absolute basis and relative to other companies, including both our peers and the S&P 500.
2025 Business Highlights
We measure our operating performance relative to the execution of a proven strategy that reflects five coherent themes that leverage our differentiated strengths and capabilities. This “5-Point Strategy” supports a business model which is both enduring in a highly volatile industry and difficult for competitors to replicate. Our strategy creates a unique way to compete for customers, workforce talent, supplier-partner support and stockholder capital. We take none of these stakeholders for granted and our goal is to create sustained value for all of them while making a positive impact in the communities we serve. Highlighted accomplishments among the 5-Point Strategy for 2025 include:

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | RETURN TO STOCKHOLDERS

Return to Stockholders
Since inception, the Company has delivered consistent returns to our stockholders. In May 2023, the Board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion, excluding excise taxes, that began upon completion of the 2021 $1 billion authorization and expires December 31, 2028. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $291.9 million remained under the 2023 authorization. In 2025, total share repurchases were $652.0 million, including accrued excise taxes, under the 2023 authorization.
To further support the shareholder distributions portion of Murphy USA's capital allocation strategy, on October 23, 2025, the Board took action to authorize a new share repurchase program of up to $2.0 billion, excluding excise taxes, to begin upon completion of the current $1.5 billion program authorization. This new authorization will expire on December 31, 2030. In addition, the Board renewed Murphy USA's policy of increasing its annual dividend pool by 10% for another five years, with an incremental 10% added to the pool for the next twelve months, starting with the December 2025 payment. Both of these actions are designed to increase the value returned to shareholders and to ensure continuity of the Board's long-term capital allocation strategy through Murphy USA's CEO transition. The Board believes this framework provides management the space needed to balance strategic priorities and shareholder returns over a five-year horizon.
Since the 2013 Spin-Off, the Company has repurchased over 29.5 million shares, or 63% of its original shares outstanding, at an average price of $140 per share.
Additionally, the Company’s strong financial performance in recent years has allowed us to continue to grow the dividend for fifteen consecutive quarters, resulting in a compound average annual growth rate of over 20% per year since 2021.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | 2025 "SAY-ON-PAY" VOTE RESULT

Our three-year annualized total shareholder return ("TSR") for the period ending December 31, 2025 of 12.9% outpaced the median TSR of our peer group (discussed in the “Role of Market Data” section included on page 31 in this Proxy Statement).
2025 “Say-on-Pay” Vote Result
The Committee carefully considered the results of our May 2025 Say-on-Pay vote on NEO compensation, in which 98.9% of the advisory votes cast were in support of the Company’s Say-on-Pay proposal and executive compensation programs for our NEOs as described in our 2025 Proxy Statement. The Committee interpreted this level of support as affirmation by our stockholders of the design and overall execution of our executive compensation programs.
Throughout the past year, the Company engaged in dialogue with our largest stockholders about various corporate governance topics, including executive compensation. The Company values these discussions and encourages our stockholders to provide feedback about our executive compensation programs.
Based on the results of the 2025 vote and our ongoing dialogue with our stockholders, as well as a consideration of evolving best practices, the Committee continues to examine our compensation programs to ensure alignment with stockholder interests remains strong.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | | | COMPENSATION DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Compensation Design Principles and Governance Practices
The Committee intends for its compensation design principles to protect and promote our stockholders’ interests. We believe our NEO compensation programs are consistent with best practices for sound corporate governance.

WE DO |  | WE DO NOT
ü Pay for performance – a large majority of compensation is performance-based and at-risk ü Mitigate undue business risk in compensation programs and perform an annual compensation risk assessment ü Utilize an independent compensation consultant ü Maintain stock ownership guidelines and restrict pledging for executives and Directors ü Utilize multi-year vesting periods for annual equity-based compensation ü Maintain a Dodd-Frank mandated clawback policy and include expanded “clawbacks” in our supplemental clawback policy and annual and long-term incentive plans, which allow for the recoupment of compensation in the event of a financial restatement as a result of negligent, intentional or gross misconduct, including both time- and performance-based awards |  | û Maintain employment agreements û Provide excessive perquisites û Permit hedging transactions û Maintain separate change-in-control ("CIC") agreements other than with the CEO û Provide excise tax gross-ups on CIC benefits û Allow repricing or cash buyout of underwater options û Allow current payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unearned long-term incentives û Provide single trigger equity vesting for new equity awards

Role of the Committee
The Committee has responsibility for discharging the Board's responsibilities with respect to compensation of the Company’s executives. In particular, the Committee annually reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation, evaluates the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determines and approves the CEO’s compensation based on this evaluation. In doing so, the Committee reviews all elements of the CEO’s compensation. The Committee also approves executive compensation for the Company’s other executive officers, approves and administers incentive compensation and equity-based plans, monitors compliance of directors and executive officers with Company stock ownership requirements and administers our compensation clawback policies. Pursuant to its charter, the Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate compensation consultants, as well the sole authority to approve their fees and other terms. The Committee also has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from
internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors. For additional information on the responsibilities of the Committee, see the “Committees–Executive Compensation Committee” section included on page 17 in this Proxy Statement.
Role of Market Data
The Committee adopted a peer group for purposes of reviewing and approving 2025 compensation. Due to the relatively small number of publicly-traded retail convenience store competitors, the group was broadened to include other companies in similar industries with which Murphy USA competes for executive talent in order to create a sufficient sample of companies against which compensation can be compared. The peer group was developed based on certain attributes including:
•Industry Sector: Direct motor fuel and convenience retailers, retailers exposed to vehicle miles traveled, and other small box, common goods retailers (e.g., quick service restaurants)

MURPHY USA INC. 2026 PROXY STATEMENT |  | PAGE 31

Table of Contents

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | ROLE OF THE CEO IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS

•Scale of Operation: Revenue, non-fuel revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, market capitalization, number of employees, and store count
•Method of Operation: Company-operated sites and direct-owned real estate
The 2025 compensation peer group consists of the following companies:

•Advance Auto Parts [AAP] •Alimentation Couche-Tard [ANCTF] •Arko [ARKO] •AutoZone [AZO] •Brinker [EAT] •Casey’s General Stores [CASY] •Chipotle Mexican Grill [CMG] |  | •Cracker Barrel [CBRL] •Dollar General [DG] •Dollar Tree [DLTR] •Five Below [FIVE] •Foot Locker [FL] •Monro [MNRO] •O’Reilly Automotive [ORLY] •Parkland [PKIUF] •Sally Beauty [SBH] •Ulta Beauty [ULTA]

The performance peer group used to assess relative TSR performance under the Company’s PSU program was identical to the compensation peer group. However, Foot Locker and Parkland were ultimately removed from the performance peer group during 2025 as both companies were acquired during the performance period.
In addition to comparator company information, the Committee uses several industry compensation surveys to determine competitive market pay levels for the NEOs.
Base salaries and total target direct compensation for the Company’s NEOs were compared to the median of the market data to determine whether the Company’s compensation practices were in alignment with market pay levels. When making compensation-related decisions, the Committee aims to set compensation levels for executive officers based on a deliberate review of market compensation for a particular position as well as each individual’s possession of a unique skill or knowledge set, proven leadership capabilities or experience and Company performance. Based on such factors, the Committee may determine with respect to one or more individuals that it is appropriate for compensation to meet, exceed, or fall below the median of the market data for a particular compensation element or total compensation.
Role of the CEO in Compensation Decisions
The CEO periodically reviews the performance of each of the other NEOs, develops preliminary recommendations regarding salary adjustments and annual and long-term award amounts, and provides recommendations to the Committee. The Committee can exercise its discretion to modify any recommendations and make final decisions. The CEO does not participate in Committee discussions regarding CEO compensation.

Table of Contents

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | TARGET COMPENSATION MIX

The majority of our NEO compensation is performance-based and is issued in the form of annual and long-term incentives. Individuals in a position to influence the growth of stockholder value have larger portions of their total compensation delivered in the form of equity-based long-term incentives. The target mix of the elements of the compensation program for the CEO and other NEOs is shown in the following charts which outline the size, in percentage terms, of each element of target compensation.
Target Compensation Mix
Base Salary
Base salary is designed to provide a competitive fixed rate of pay recognizing each employee’s level of responsibility and performance. In setting base salary levels for NEOs, the Committee considers competitive market data in addition to other factors such as duties, responsibilities, experience, individual performance, retention concerns, internal equity considerations, Company performance, general economic conditions and marketplace compensation trends.
Base salaries are reviewed annually. In 2025, the Committee increased salaries awarded to each of the NEOs to reflect performance in their role and to bring salaries closer to competitive market levels for similar positions. The salary for Ms. West was also increased in October 2025 in connection with her promotion to President of the Company.

Annual Incentive Plan
We provide annual incentives for our executive officers through our Murphy USA Inc. 2019 Annual Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “AIP”). The primary objective of the AIP is to align corporate and individual goals with stockholder interests and Company strategy and to reward employees for their performance relative to those goals. Murphy USA targets the median of market pay levels for target annual incentive compensation.
The actual bonus earned by executives may be above or below the median of market pay levels based on actual Murphy USA performance.
The Committee reviews market data annually with respect to competitive pay levels and sets specific bonus opportunities for each of our NEOs. No adjustments were made to the NEOs' annual bonus targets for 2025. The following table shows target bonuses as a percentage of base salary for each of the NEOs in 2025:

NAME |  | TITLE |  | TARGET BONUS AS A % OF SALARY
R. Andrew Clyde |  | CEO |  | 150
Mindy K. West |  | President & COO |  | 100
Donald R. Smith, Jr.(1) |  | Interim CFO; VP, CAO & Treasurer |  | 50
Chris A. Click |  | EVP Strategy, Growth & Innovation |  | 75
Renee M. Bacon |  | SVP S&O & CMO |  | 70
C. Galagher Jeff |  | Former EVP & CFO |  | 75

(1)Reflects 2025 target bonus for Mr. Smith in his role as VP, CAO & Treasurer. Mr. Smith did not receive a target bonus increase in connection with his appointment as the Company's Interim CFO.
Each NEO’s actual AIP bonus payment is determined by multiplying their target bonus amount by the corporate performance weighted performance score, as described below. The Committee has the authority to exercise negative discretion to reduce an NEO’s bonus payout based on subjective individual criteria to determine the final payout amount. The NEO’s actual AIP bonus payment may not exceed 200% of their target amount.
2025 Corporate Performance
For 2025, the AIP metrics for the Company consisted of Adjusted EBITDA, Fuel Volume, Fuel Contribution, Merchandise Contribution, and profitability as measured by Coverage Ratio. The Committee believes the combination of these metrics reflected the overall key goals and objectives for the Company for 2025.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company exceeded the maximum performance level for the Coverage Ratio metric. Merchandise Contribution performance was above target but below the maximum threshold. Adjusted EBITDA results were between the minimum and target performance levels. For both Fuel Volume and Fuel Contribution, the Company’s performance was below the minimum threshold.
The following table summarizes the AIP performance metrics and corresponding weightings used in determining annual incentive award payouts for our NEOs and the weighted performance scores for each based on actual performance during 2025:

METRIC | WEIGHTING (%) |  | THRESHOLD (50% PAYOUT) |  | TARGET (100% PAYOUT) |  | MAXIMUM (200% PAYOUT) |  | ACTUAL |  | PAYOUT% OF TARGET (%) |  | WEIGHTED PERFORMANCE SCORE (%)
Adjusted EBITDA ($MM)(1) | 40 |  | 1,000.0 |  | 1,060.0 |  | 1,130.0 |  | 1,019.4 |  | 66.2 |  | 26.5
Fuel Volume (K-gal APSM)(2) | 20 |  | 240.0 |  | 242.5 |  | 245.0 |  | 235.8 |  | — |  | —
Fuel Contribution ($MM)(3) | 10 |  | 1,511.0 |  | 1,580.0 |  | 1,644.0 |  | 1,488.7 |  | — |  | —
Merchandise Contribution ($MM)(4) | 15 |  | 855.0 |  | 865.0 |  | 875.0 |  | 869.0 |  | 139.6 |  | 20.9
Coverage Ratio (%)(5) | 15 |  | 89.2 |  | 91.3 |  | 93.4 |  | 95.8 |  | 200.0 |  | 30.0
Total | 100 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 77.4

(1)Adjusted EBITDA is computed by adding net income (loss) plus net interest expense, plus income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA adds back (i) other non-cash items (e.g., impairment of properties, restructuring expense, and accretion of asset retirement obligations) and (ii) other items that management does not consider to be meaningful in assessing our operating performance (e.g., (income/loss) from discontinued operations, net settlement proceeds, (gain) loss on sale of assets, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions and other non-operating (income) expense). Please refer to the reconciliation in Appendix A.
(2)Thousands of gallons average per store month (APSM) for all stores in full month of operation.
(3)Fuel Contribution means the overall profit (margin) made on fuel volume sold after applicable expenses are paid and is calculated (i)(A) petroleum product sales plus (B) RINs and other, less (ii) petroleum product cost of goods sold.
(4)Merchandise Contribution means the overall profit (margin) made on merchandise sales after applicable cost of goods sold.
(5)Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Merchandise Contribution by OpEx plus allocated G&A and other expenses.
Individual Performance
In addition to the corporate performance component for 2025, the AIP permitted the Committee to exercise its discretion to adjust an NEO’s award based on the Committee’s subjective review of his or her performance relative to the achievement of the metrics outlined above, business plan execution and other qualitative results. We believe that it is important to include this component in our AIP in order to take into account NEO performance that, in the Committee’s opinion, justifies an adjustment in the amount otherwise payable to a NEO based on objective corporate performance. Overall, amounts earned under the AIP cannot exceed 200% of target. In 2025, the Committee believed that our NEOs’ individual performance was appropriately reflected in our corporate performance results. Thus, the Committee opted not to make any adjustments to the awards earned by our NEOs and payable under the AIP based on our corporate performance.
Overall Performance and Payouts
After certifying the results relative to our performance metrics and considering each individual’s contributions throughout the year, the Committee approved the following payments for our NEOs for 2025:

NAME(1) | BONUS TARGET ($) |  | AIP % ACHIEVED |  | ACTUAL BONUS ($)
R. Andrew Clyde | 2,047,501 |  | 77.4 |  | 1,584,766
Mindy K. West | 836,154 |  | 77.4 |  | 647,184
Donald R. Smith, Jr. | 205,577 |  | 77.4 |  | 159,117
Chris A. Click | 444,231 |  | 77.4 |  | 343,835
Renee M. Bacon | 365,347 |  | 77.4 |  | 282,778

(1)In connection with his departure from the Company during 2025, Mr. Jeff did not receive an annual bonus for fiscal year 2025.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

Long-Term Incentive Compensation
In 2025, we provided share based, long-term incentive compensation to our executive officers through our stockholder-approved Murphy USA Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”).
Long-term incentive levels for Murphy USA’s officers are targeted at the median of competitive market pay levels. The program provides for a variety of stock and share-based awards, including stock options and RSUs, each of which vests over a three-year period, as well as PSUs that are earned based on the Company’s achievement of two equally-weighted objective performance goals over a three-year period. We believe that these awards create a powerful link between the creation of stockholder value and executive pay delivered. In addition, we believe that the balance between absolute and relative performance achieved
through the use of stock options, return on average capital employed ROACE-based PSUs and relative TSR-based PSUs is appropriate and complement the performance measures we utilize under our AIP. In order for executives to fully realize their targeted opportunities, Murphy USA must both successfully achieve its long-term goals and outperform its peers.
For information regarding the Company's equity grant timing practices, please see page 55.
Effective with awards granted in 2023, outstanding equity awards will vest on a modified “double-trigger basis” in the event of a change-in-control, meaning equity awards will only accelerate in the event the award recipient experiences a qualifying termination within two years of a change-in-control or if the acquiring entity fails to assume or substitute such awards.

| STOCK OPTIONS | RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS | PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS
Weighting | 25% | 25% | 50%
Objectives | •Provide a direct link between executive officer compensation & the value delivered to stockholders | •Drive behaviors to create value for stockholders by linking executive compensation to stock price performance •Encourage retention | •Align executives’ interests with the interests of stockholders •Reinforce the critical objective of building stockholder value over the long term •Focus management attention upon the execution of the long-term business strategy
Performance Conditions | •Stock options are inherently performance-based, as option holders only realize benefits if the value of our stock increases following the grant date | •RSUs are inherently aligned with the interests of our stockholders because their ultimate value is directly linked to future appreciation in our share price | •50% - ROACE •50% - TSR relative to our performance peer group
Term | •Seven years | •Three years | •Three years
Vesting | •Vest in two equal installments on the second & third anniversaries of the grant date | •Cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date | •Cliff vest after three years upon certification of results
Payout | •Upon exercise, participant acquires net common shares at the previously defined exercise price | •Participant acquires unrestricted shares of common stock upon vesting | •Payment made in unrestricted shares of common stock at the end of three years upon approval of performance results by the Committee •Payouts at 50% of target for threshold level of performance •Maximum payouts capped at 200% of target
Dividends | •N/A | •Dividend equivalent units are accumulated during the three-year vesting period & pay out only if the underlying RSUs vest | •Dividend equivalent units are accumulated during the performance period & pay out only to the extent that the underlying PSUs vest & are earned

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES

Performance Stock Units
Vesting for 50% of the PSUs granted in 2025 will be based on Murphy USA’s TSR performance between 2025 and 2027 relative to the Company’s performance peer group (which is the same as the compensation peer group on page 32 with the exception of Foot Locker and Parkland which were removed from the group following their acquisitions during 2025). The Committee considers relative TSR an appropriate metric as it aligns the pay for our officers to the appreciation (or reduction) our stockholders receive in their investment in Murphy USA. TSR achievement and corresponding payout levels are as follows:

ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL |  | PERCENTILE RANK RELATIVE TO PEERS |  |  | PAYOUT % OF TARGET(1)
Maximum |  | ≥75th |  |  | 200
Target |  | 50th |  |  | 100
Threshold |  | 25th |  |  | 50
Below Threshold |  | <25th |  |  | 0

(1)Payout will be interpolated on a linear basis for performance between levels of achievement.
Vesting for the remaining 50% of the PSUs granted in 2025 will be based on Murphy USA’s three-year average ROACE performance between 2025 and 2027 as compared to the Company’s three-year ROACE target set by the Committee at the beginning of the performance period.
Earned Amounts of 2023 to 2025 Annual PSUs
In February 2026, the Committee certified the performance results for the 2023 PSUs for the three-year performance period that ended December 31, 2025. Under the provisions of these awards, the PSUs were subject to two equally-weighted metrics, ROACE and TSR relative to our peer group. As a result of the Company’s strong performance, the PSUs were earned at 165.3% of target.
The following table summarizes the performance metrics and corresponding weightings used in determining the number of PSUs earned and the weighted performance scores for each based on actual performance during the three-year period:

METRIC |  | WEIGHTING (%) |  | THRESHOLD (50% PAYOUT) |  | TARGET (100% PAYOUT) |  | MAXIMUM (200% PAYOUT) |  | ACTUAL |  | PAYOUT % OF TARGET (%) |  | WEIGHTED PERFORMANCE SCORE (%)
ROACE (%) |  | 50 |  | 19.8 |  | 23.1 |  | 24.8 |  | 23.6 |  | 130.6 |  | 65.3
Relative TSR (Percentile Rank) |  | 50 |  | 25ᵗʰ |  | 50ᵗʰ |  | 75ᵗʰ |  | 80.0 |  | 200.0 |  | 100.0
Total |  | 100 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 165.3%

Employee Benefits and Perquisites
Murphy USA’s executives are provided usual and customary employee benefits available to all employees (except certain hourly retail employees). These include a qualified defined contribution plan (401(k)) (“Savings Plan”), health insurance, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, medical and dental insurance, vision insurance and long-term disability insurance.
The purpose of the Savings Plan, a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, is to provide retirement benefits for all the employees of Murphy USA who participate. All employees are allowed to contribute on a pre-tax basis up to 40 percent of their eligible pay. The Company matches contributions, dollar-for-dollar, up to the first six percent of base pay. Participating employees, including the NEOs, are immediately vested in all employee and Company-matched contributions.
Murphy USA provides a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“Murphy USA SERP”), a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, to eligible executives, including the NEOs. The Murphy USA SERP is intended to restore qualified defined contribution (Savings Plan and annual retirement contribution) plan benefits restricted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “IRC”) to certain highly-compensated individuals. The Company funds the Murphy USA SERP through the use of a rabbi trust. The Company’s obligations under the Murphy USA SERP are recorded in the financial statements and in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the assets held by the rabbi trust could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors.
Murphy USA offers limited perquisites to our NEOs consistent with those offered by our peer group. To maximize productivity during travel time of our CEO,

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | OTHER POLICIES

the Board has authorized up to 50 hours annually of personal use of Company aircraft for our CEO as part of the total compensation package. The value of such personal use is periodically reported to the Committee and is reported as taxable income to the CEO, with no income tax assistance or gross-ups provided by the Company.
Reportable values for such personal use are based on the incremental costs to the Company, as provided in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table included on page 42 in this Proxy Statement.
Other Policies
CEO Severance and Change-in-Control Protection
The Company has not entered into any employment, CIC or termination agreements with its NEOs, other than with the CEO.
In connection with her promotion to CEO and consistent with the Company's practice for its CEO, effective January 1, 2026, the Company entered into a Severance Protection Agreement (the “SPA”) with Ms. West. The SPA provides Ms. West with certain severance benefits if her employment is terminated under certain circumstances within 24 months following a CIC. If Ms. West’s employment is terminated by Murphy USA “without cause” or by Ms. West for “good reason” within this 24-month window following a CIC (in each case, as defined in the SPA), Ms. West will be entitled to her earned but unpaid compensation, a lump-sum severance payment equal to two times the sum of her base salary (or if greater, the highest rate in effect at any time during the 90-day period before the change-in-control) and target annual bonus, and continued life, accident and health insurance benefits for 24 months following her termination. Ms. West will not be entitled to any “golden parachute” excise tax gross-up payments. The SPA provides for an excise tax cut back to reduce payments to a level such that the excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the IRC will not apply (unless Ms. West would receive a greater amount of severance benefits on an after-tax basis without a cutback, in which case the cutback would not apply). Pursuant to the SPA, Ms. West will be subject to a confidentiality covenant and non-solicitation and non-competition restrictive covenants for 12 months following any such termination.
The Company was previously a party to an SPA with Mr. Clyde in connection with his former role as CEO, which was inherited by Murphy USA in connection with the Spin-Off from prior parent Murphy Oil. In
connection with his retirement from the position of President and CEO, Mr. Clyde will not receive any benefits under the SPA.
Clyde Transition and Advisory Services Agreement
In order to ensure a smooth and orderly transition of his duties to Ms. West, the Company entered into a Transition and Advisory Services Agreement (the "Transition Agreement") with Mr. Clyde. Under the Transition Agreement, Mr. Clyde continued employment with Murphy USA as a non-executive employee through February 28, 2026 (the "Transition Date"), and will continue to serve as a non-employee advisor to the Company from the Transition Date through February 28, 2027 (the "Advisory Services Period"). As a non-executive employee, Mr. Clyde continued to receive his annual base salary and employee benefits through the Transition Date. During the Advisory Services Period, Mr. Clyde will receive a consulting fee equal to his annual base salary rate as in effect as of his retirement date payable in monthly installments. As a non-executive employee, Mr. Clyde is not eligible to receive any additional equity awards nor is he eligible to participate in the 2026 AIP. Mr. Clyde's outstanding equity incentive awards will be treated in accordance with their existing terms. In addition, under the terms of Mr. Clyde’s Transition Agreement, Mr. Clyde will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions during the 18-month period following the date of his transition to the advisor role and perpetual confidentiality restrictions.
"Double-Trigger" Equity Acceleration
Effective with awards granted in 2023 under the 2023 Plan, in the event of a CIC, outstanding equity awards which are assumed or replaced by the acquiring entity will vest in the event the award recipient experiences a qualifying termination within two years of a CIC or if the acquiring entity fails to assume or substitute such awards (commonly referred to as a modified "double-trigger" basis). For awards granted prior to 2023, under the terms of the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective as of February 9, 2017, unless otherwise set forth in an applicable award agreement, in the event of a CIC, all outstanding equity awards will vest, become immediately exercisable or payable and have all restrictions lifted. Any performance-based awards will be paid assuming the target level of performance.

Jeff Separation Agreement
In connection with his departure from the Company in 2025, Mr. Jeff entered into a separation agreement which provided for payment of his accrued benefits in exchange for a release of claims in favor of the Company. Pursuant to his separation agreement, Mr. Jeff is subject to perpetual confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants and non-solicitation covenants for two years following his separation. All unvested equity awards held by Mr. Jeff were forfeited pursuant to their terms.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
To further align the interests of our officers with those of our stockholders, the Board expects all officers to display confidence in the Company through the ownership of a significant amount of our stock. Under these guidelines as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, officers, including our NEOs, are expected to hold Murphy USA common stock having a value that is equivalent to a multiple of each officer’s annualized base salary within five years of assuming their position or, in some cases, a shorter period of time as determined by the Executive Compensation Committee. The targeted multiples vary among the executives depending upon their position:
•CEO: 5x annual salary
•EVPs: 3x annual salary
•SVPs: 2x annual salary
•VPs: 1x annual salary
Because the stock ownership guidelines are a multiple of each officer’s annualized salary, the value that must be maintained will increase proportionally with salary increases. Officers are expected to achieve targets within five years of assuming their positions. Shares owned directly by the officers, including shares underlying RSUs, those owned indirectly, assuming the officer has an economic interest in the shares, and shares held through our employee benefit plans, including the Savings Plan and deferred compensation plan for executives, are included in calculating ownership levels. Shares underlying stock options and unearned PSUs do not count toward the ownership guidelines. At December 31, 2025, all of our NEOs had met or were on track to comply with these stock ownership guidelines within the applicable five-year period.
Likewise, each non-employee director of our Board is expected to achieve ownership of at least three times their annual cash retainer within five years of service as discussed in the Non-Employee Director Stock
Ownership Guidelines and Pledging section of this Proxy Statement on page 20. At December 31, 2025, all of our directors had met or were on track to comply with these stock ownership guidelines within the applicable five-year period.
The Committee will periodically assess these guidelines, monitor director and executive officer ownership levels relative to these guidelines and make recommendations as appropriate.
Pledging Policy
A director or executive officer may not pledge Company securities, including by purchasing Company securities on margin or holding Company securities in a margin account, until he or she has achieved the applicable stock ownership target specified in the Corporate Governance Guidelines. Once such stock ownership target has been achieved, such director or executive officer is permitted to pledge Company securities in compliance with applicable law, so long as all stock owned to satisfy the applicable stock ownership target remains unpledged. Any pledging of shares must be disclosed to the Corporate Secretary and to the Board in advance of such pledging. All of our directors and executive officers are in compliance with our pledging policy.
Prohibition on Hedging
To ensure that Murphy USA directors and executive officers, including our NEOs, bear the full risks of Murphy USA common stock ownership, the Company has adopted a policy that prohibits all directors, officers and employees from entering into hedging transactions that are designed to hedge or speculate on any change in the market value of the Company’s securities.
Recoupment and Clawback Policy
In August 2023, the Board adopted a Dodd-Frank Act mandated compensation recovery, or "clawback," policy, providing for the recovery of applicable incentive-based compensation from current and former Section 16 officers of the Company in the event the Company is required to restate its financial results due to the Company’s material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws as required by the Dodd-Frank Act and corresponding New York Stock Exchange listing standards.
In addition, our officers are subject to our Supplemental Compensation Recoupment Policy and recoupment provisions in the AIP, 2013 Long-Term

PAGE 40 |  |

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

Incentive Plan and the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan in the case of certain forfeiture events. Pursuant to such arrangements, if the Company restates its financial statements as a result of negligent, intentional or gross misconduct by the recipient, the Committee may, in its discretion, require that the recipient reimburse the Company with respect to certain cash and/or equity incentive compensation, including both time- and performance-based equity awards. In addition, pursuant to the Company's Supplemental Compensation Recoupment Policy, if the Company restates its financial statements, the Committee may, in its discretion, recoup excess incentive-based compensation from certain senior employees. These misconduct clawback provisions are in addition to our Dodd-Frank Act clawback policy. In addition to the clawback policies described above, our CEO and CFO are subject to any clawbacks that may be required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Tax Policy
Section 162(m) of the IRC generally limits the tax deductibility of compensation paid to NEOs to $1 million annually.
The Committee has and will continue to retain the flexibility to design and maintain the executive compensation programs in a manner that is most beneficial to stockholders, emphasizing our pay for performance philosophy, including the payment of compensation that is subject to the deduction limits under Section 162(m).
Role of the Compensation Consultant
The Committee has retained Mercer (US) LLC (“Mercer”) as its independent compensation consultant. Mercer provides executive and director compensation consulting services to the Committee, regularly attends Committee meetings, reports directly to the Committee on matters relating to compensation for our NEOs and participates in executive sessions without management present. Mercer provides advice and analyses to the Committee on the design and level of executive and director compensation. In connection with their services to the Committee, Mercer works with executive management and the corporate human resources team as directed by the Committee to formalize proposals for the Committee. The Committee has assessed the independence of Mercer pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that Mercer’s work for the Committee does not raise any conflicts of interest.
Compensation-Based Risk Assessment
In February 2026, the Committee completed a review of the Company’s policies and practices of compensating its employees (including non-executives) as they relate to the Company’s risk management profile to determine whether these policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. As a result of this review, the Committee concluded that any risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices for its employees were not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Compensation Committee Report
The Executive Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Based on the review and discussions, the Executive Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement.

(3)The amounts shown represent the grant-date fair value of both PSU, RSU and dividend equivalent unit awards granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025 as computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures, as more fully described in the Incentive Plans footnote to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025. Amounts shown relating to PSUs and related dividend equivalent units were calculated based on the probable outcome of performance conditions as of the grant date, which was the target level, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. For the 2025 grant, if the maximum payout were shown for the PSUs and related dividend equivalent units, the expense amounts that would be recognized would be: $6,386,072 for Mr. Clyde, $2,073,400 for Ms. West, $331,744 for Mr. Smith, $829,360 for Mr. Click, $580,552 for Ms. Bacon, and $912,296 for Mr. Jeff, although the value of the actual payout to the NEO would depend on the stock price at the time of the payout. If the minimum payout were used, the amounts for PSUs and related dividend equivalent units would be reduced to zero. The RSUs and related dividend equivalent units generally vest three years from the date of grant of the RSUs. The PSUs and related dividend equivalent units vest three years from the date of grant of the PSUs based on the Company’s performance relative to two equally-weighted metrics, ROACE and TSR relative to its peers. There is no assurance that the value realized by the NEO will be at or near the value included in the table.
(4)The amounts shown represent the grant-date fair value as computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures, as more fully described in the Incentive Plans footnote to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025. Options granted generally vest in two equal installments on the second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The options are exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of grant. The actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. There is no assurance that the value realized by each NEO will be at or near the value disclosed.
(5)Amounts shown for 2025 reflect payments under our AIP, which were paid in March 2026. Amounts shown for 2024 reflect payments under our AIP, which were paid in March 2025. Amounts shown for 2023 reflect payments under our AIP, which were paid in March 2024.
(6)The amounts shown in this column reflect for Ms. West and Mr. Smith the annual change in accumulated benefits under their accounts in the Murphy Oil Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“Murphy Oil SERP”), liability for which was assumed by Murphy USA in connection with the Spin-Off. See Pension Benefits Table included on page 47 in this Proxy Statement for more information. There are no deferred compensation earnings reported in this column, as the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans do not provide above-market or preferential earnings. See the 2025 Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Table included on page 48 in this Proxy Statement for more information. Where the annual change in accumulated benefits was negative, it was excluded from this column and from the Summary Compensation Table Total column.

(1)Threshold and maximum awards are based on the provisions in our AIP. Actual awards earned can range from 0 to 200 percent of the target awards. The Committee retains the authority to make awards under the program and to use its judgment in adjusting awards downward. Actual payouts for 2025 are reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” included in this Proxy Statement.
(2)Threshold and maximum awards are based on the provisions of the PSU award agreements. Actual PSU awards earned can range from 0 to 200 percent of the target awards.
(3)Amounts reflect time-based RSUs, which generally cliff-vest three years after their grant date.
(4)The amounts in this column in respect of the RSUs, PSUs and stock option awards reflect their aggregate grant-date fair values, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures.

(1)In connection with Mr. Jeff's departure from the Company, effective as of October 14, 2025, all of his outstanding equity awards were forfeited in accordance with their terms, and thus, Mr. Jeff did not hold any outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2025.
(2)Stock options vest 50 percent on the two-year anniversary of the original grant date with the remaining 50 percent vesting on the three-year anniversary of the original grant date. All options expire seven years after the original grant date.
(3)RSUs generally vest on the three-year anniversary of the date on which they were originally granted.
(4)Value was determined based on a December 31, 2025 closing stock price of $403.52 per share.
(5)The amounts shown represent the number of outstanding PSUs that remain subject to performance conditions. These numbers represent PSUs that each NEO would receive assuming the performance conditions are achieved at maximum (200 percent). The actual numbers of PSUs earned at the end of the performance period will be based on Company performance. To the extent earned, these outstanding PSUs will cliff-vest on the three-year anniversary of the grant date once results have been certified.
(6)Reflects the number of PSUs determined to be earned for the performance period ended December 31, 2025, which were vested and settled early in 2026.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Termination in Connection with a Change-in-Control
The Company does not have employment, CIC or termination agreements with its NEOs other than the SPA with the CEO. Effective with annual equity awards granted in 2023, in the event of a CIC, all outstanding equity awards which are assumed or replaced by the acquiring entity will not vest unless the award recipient also experiences a qualifying termination within two years of a CIC commonly referred to as a "modified double-trigger" basis. However, for awards granted prior to 2023, upon a CIC, all outstanding equity awards shall vest and become immediately exercisable or payable, or have all restrictions lifted that apply to the type of award, with any performance-based awards being paid at the target level of performance.
For a description of the SPA with our current CEO, please see page 39 above.
"Double-Trigger" Equity Acceleration
Pursuant to the terms of the applicable annual equity award agreements, the NEOs are entitled to accelerated vesting of all or a portion of their outstanding annual equity awards in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment outside the context of a CIC. These termination provisions are consistent with the termination provisions included in annual equity awards with non-NEO award recipients. In the event of an NEO’s involuntary
termination without cause, RSUs granted in 2023 or later will accelerate on a pro-rata basis and all other unvested annual equity awards (including options, PSUs and RSUs granted prior to 2023) will be forfeited. In the event of an NEO’s termination due to death or disability, (i) RSUs granted in 2023 or later will accelerate in full and all other unvested RSUs (including those granted prior to 2023) will accelerate on a pro-rata basis, (ii) PSUs will vest on a pro-rata basis, subject to actual performance measured at the end of the applicable performance period, and (iii) stock options granted in 2023 or later will accelerate in full and all other unvested stock options (including unvested stock options granted prior to 2023) will be forfeited. In the event of an NEO’s retirement, then (i) RSUs granted in 2023 or later will accelerate in full so long as such retirement is more than one year from the grant date (or else the award is forfeited), and all other unvested RSUs (including RSUs granted prior to 2023) will accelerate on a pro-rata basis, (ii) PSUs will vest on a pro-rata basis, subject to actual performance measured at the end of the applicable performance period, and (iii) stock options granted in 2023 or later will accelerate in full (so long as such retirement is more than one year from the grant date (or else the award is forfeited)) and all other unvested stock options (including unvested stock options granted prior to 2023) will be forfeited.
The Company has no other agreement, contract, plan or arrangement, written or unwritten, that provides for potential payments to any other NEOs upon termination or a CIC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION | 2025 PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE

2025 Pay Ratio Disclosure
Pay Ratio
In accordance with the requirements of Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K (which we collectively refer to as the “Pay Ratio Rule”), we are providing the following estimated information for 2025:
•the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (except our Chief Executive Officer) was $19,571; our median employee is a part-time store employee;
•the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer was $11,762,101; and
•the ratio of these two amounts was 601 to 1; we believe that this ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Pay Ratio Rule.
SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and apply various assumptions and, as a result, the pay ratio reported by us may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.
Methodology for Identifying Our “Median Employee"
To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than our Chief Executive Officer), we first identified our total employee population from which we determined our “median employee.” We selected our "median employee" as of December 31, 2025, from our employee population of 16,838 individuals. As a marketer of retail motor fuel products and convenience merchandise through retail stores, over one-half of our employee population on this date was comprised of part-time employees.
To identify our “median employee” from our total employee population, we compared our employees’ total cash compensation for 2025 (which included base wages and any additional cash awards). In making this determination, we annualized the compensation of full-time and part-time employees who were hired in 2025 but did not work for us for the entire fiscal year. We identified our “median employee” using this compensation measure, which was consistently applied to all our employees included in the calculation.
Determination of Annual Total Compensation of Our “Median Employee” and Our CEO
Once we identified our “median employee,” we then calculated such employee’s annual total compensation for 2025 using the same methodology we used for purposes of determining the annual total compensation of our NEOs for 2025 (as set forth in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table on page 42 of this Proxy Statement).
Our Chief Executive Officer's annual total compensation for 2025 for purposes of the Pay Ratio Rule is equal to the amount reported in the “Total” column in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table.
Pay Versus Performance
The following table sets forth the compensation for our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO” or “CEO”) and the average compensation for our other NEOs (non-PEO NEOs), both as reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) and with certain adjustments to reflect the “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to such individuals, as defined under SEC rules, for of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021. The table also provides information on our cumulative total stockholder return (“TSR”), the cumulative TSR of our peer group, Net Income and our Company Selected Measure, Adjusted EBITDA, over these years in accordance with SEC rules.
Murphy USA’s compensation program is focused on aligning pay with performance. Adjusted EBITDA, which encompasses all the moving parts of our business, serves as the largest component of the AIP, and half of our PSU program, and is a driving factor in ROACE. For detail on our executive compensation programs, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 27.
CAP, like compensation disclosed in the SCT, does not necessarily reflect the target value of compensation as approved by our Executive Compensation Committee or value of compensation realized by our executives based on Company and individual performance. Our Executive Compensation Committee has not used CAP as a basis for making compensation decisions. In addition, a significant portion of the CAP amounts shown relate to changes in values of unvested awards since they were awarded due to changes in our stock price. These unvested awards remain subject to significant risk from forfeiture conditions and possible future changes in value based on changes in our stock price. As described in detail in the Compensation Discussion

and Analysis, our PSUs are subject to multi-year performance conditions tied to two performance metrics and all of our annual equity awards are subject to time vesting conditions. The ultimate values actually realized by our NEOs from unvested annual equity awards, if any, will not be determined
until the awards fully vest. Please refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of our executive compensation program objectives and the ways in which we align executive compensation with performance.

(1)Compensation for our PEO, R. Andrew Clyde, reflects the amounts reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” for the respective years.
(2)The dollar amounts shown in this column reflect “compensation actually paid” for the PEO calculated in accordance with SEC rules. As required, the dollar amounts include (among other items) unpaid amounts of equity compensation that may be realizable in future periods, and as such, the dollar amounts shown do not fully represent the actual final amount of compensation earned or actually paid to the individual during the applicable years. The adjustments made to Mr. Clyde’s total compensation for each year to determine CAP are shown in tables below.

(a)As shown in these tables, the CAP totals represent the SCT totals for the applicable year but are adjusted as required by SEC rules to (1) include the fair value of current and prior year annual equity awards that are outstanding, vested or forfeited during the applicable year, instead of the grant-date value of awards granted during the applicable year, and (2) exclude any positive aggregate change in the actuarial present value of all defined benefit pension plan benefits for the applicable year. We note the SEC rules also require CAP to include any actuarially determined service cost or prior service cost under pension plans for services rendered by the executive during the applicable year. However, our PEO has never participated in any pension plans while with the Company.
(b)Represents the total of the amounts reported in Stock Awards and Option Awards columns of the SCT for the applicable year.
(c)The fair value of equity component of the CAP calculation was determined in accordance with SEC methodology for this disclosure. Unlike the SCT on page 42, which requires us to show the grant-date value of annual equity awards granted during the applicable year, the CAP table requires us to calculate equity fair value as follows:
•for awards granted during the applicable year (and which are still outstanding and unvested), the year-end fair value; plus
•for awards granted during prior years that were still outstanding and unvested as of the applicable year-end, the change in fair value as of the applicable year-end compared against the prior year-end; plus
•for awards granted in prior years that vested during the applicable year, the change in fair value as of the vesting date compared against the prior year-end; plus
•for any awards granted in the applicable year that vested during the applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; plus
•the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the covered fiscal year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise included in the total compensation for the covered fiscal year; minus
•for awards granted in prior years that were forfeited during the applicable year, the fair value as of the prior year-end.

(a)The CAP total figures were calculated using the same methodology described above in footnote (a) to the PEO “Reconciliation of SCT Total to CAP Total” tables shown above. The aggregate change in actuarial present value of accumulated benefit under pension plans reflects the amount reported for the applicable year in the SCT; the amounts shown reflect the annual change in accumulated benefits for the applicable non-PEO NEOs’ accounts in the Murphy Oil Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“Murphy Oil SERP”), liability for which was assumed by Murphy USA in connection with the Spin-Off. However, given that the Murphy Oil SERP has been frozen, there is no applicable service cost or prior service cost to report under the plan.
(b)Represents the average total of the amounts reported in the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns of the SCT for these NEOs for the applicable year.
(c)The fair value of equity component of the CAP calculation was determined using the same methodology described above in footnote (c) to the PEO “Reconciliation of SCT Total to CAP Total” table shown above, using averages for the included non-PEO NEOs. The specific calculations for the included non-PEO NEOs for the relevant years are shown in the table below.

(5)Pursuant to SEC rules, the TSR figures assume an initial investment of $100 on December 31, 2020, the last trading day before the earliest fiscal year reported in this table. As permitted by SEC rules, the peer group referenced for purpose of the TSR comparison is the group of companies included in the S&P 500 Retail Select Industry Index calculated in accordance with Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. The separate peer group used by the Compensation Committee for purposes of determining compensation paid to our executive officers is described on page 32.

Policies and Practices Related to the Timing of Grants of Certain Equity Awards
It is the Executive Compensation Committee’s policy to grant ordinary course annual equity awards on the day of the Committee’s regularly scheduled meeting held in February of each year, which is scheduled more than a year in advance. At the Committee meeting, the Committee approves each NEO’s equity award, including any portion of each NEO’s annual equity award that will be granted as stock options.
The Company does not schedule its equity grants in anticipation of the release of material, non-public information (“MNPI”), nor does the Company time the release of MNPI based upon grant dates of equity. The Committee also does not take MNPI into account when determining the timing and terms of annual equity award grants.

PROPOSAL 4 |  |  | AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO PHASE-OUT THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND PROVIDE FOR THE ANNUAL ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Background
Article 6 of the Certificate of Incorporation currently provides that the Board shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class consists, as nearly as may be practicable, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board, with the term of office of one class expiring each year and directors in each class being elected to three-year terms.
Rationale and Proposed Change
Our Board believes that a classified board structure can have the advantages of promoting board continuity and stability, but recognizes that an increasing number of companies provide for annual election of directors given that many stockholders believe annual elections improve director accountability. At the 2025 meeting, a stockholder proposal to elect each director annually received majority support.
After considering the merits and the support for the stockholder proposal, our Board has approved, adopted and declared that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to adopt an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to phase out the classification of the Board and to provide for the annual election of directors, and recommends that stockholders approve this proposal.
If the proposed amendments are approved by our stockholders, Article 6(C), (D) and (E) would be amended to provide that directors previously elected by our stockholders to three-year terms of office, including those directors elected at this Annual Meeting of Stockholders, would complete their three-year terms. Thereafter, they or their successors would be elected to one-year terms at each future annual meeting of stockholders. Beginning at our 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the declassification of the Board would be complete, and all directors would be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to one-year terms.
Additionally, as the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that directors serving on boards of directors that are not classified may be removed with or without cause, the proposed amendments would permit the removal of directors without cause after our Board is fully declassified commencing immediately after our 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. However, until our Board is fully declassified, directors shall be removable only for cause.
Finally, the proposed amendments would also provide that any director appointed to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the director who he or she has replaced and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
The Board has also unanimously adopted a resolution to amend Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Bylaws to make conforming changes. The effectiveness of the amendment to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Bylaws is contingent upon the effectiveness of the amendments contemplated by this Proposal 4.
Certificate of Incorporation Amendment
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to this proposal is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Appendix B. Appendix B also includes the amendments to the Company’s Bylaws that would become effective upon the effectiveness of the amendments contemplated by this Proposal 4. The Board reserves the ability to abandon these amendments before they become effective, even if approved by the stockholders, provided the Board publicly discloses that action.

PROPOSAL 4 |  |  | AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO PHASE-OUT THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND PROVIDE FOR THE ANNUAL ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

If Proposal 4 is approved by the stockholders, then the Company intends to file a certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation that implements the amendments contemplated by Appendix B, which will become effective upon filing. If this proposal is not approved by our stockholders, the amendments will not be implemented and the Board will remain classified. Stockholders are also asked to consider Proposal 5, which relates to amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to enable adoption of a stockholders’ right to call special meetings of stockholders. Proposals 4 and 5 are independent of each other and the approval of this proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENTS TO THE
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO PHASE-OUT THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND PROVIDE FOR THE ANNUAL ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.

PROPOSAL 5 |  |  | AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO ENABLE ADOPTION OF STOCKHOLDERS’ RIGHT TO CALL SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Background
Article 7(B) of our Certificate of Incorporation currently does not permit our stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders, and limits that right to the Board. The Company received a stockholder proposal requesting that the Company adopt the ability for stockholders’ owning 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock to call special meetings of stockholders (Proposal 6).
In response to the stockholder proposal and as part of the Board’s continuing review of our corporate governance practices, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to recommend that stockholders approve an amendment to the provision in Article 7(B) to enable adoption of a stockholders’ right to call special meetings of stockholders (the “Special Meeting Charter Amendment”). Contingent on the approval and adoption of the Special Meeting Charter Amendment, the Board will approve amendments to the Company’s Bylaws (the “Special Meeting Bylaw Amendment”) to give stockholders owning 25% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote the ability to request that the Board call a special meeting of stockholders, so long as they comply with the information, procedural and other requirements set forth in the Special Meeting Bylaw Amendment, as provided in Appendix C to this proxy statement and as summarized below.
Rationale and Proposed Change
Amending Article 7(B) of the Certificate of Incorporation to amend the provision limiting the right to call a special meeting to refer to the Bylaws, together with the anticipated revisions to our Bylaws implementing the right for stockholders owning 25% or more of the voting power of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote to call a special meeting of the stockholders, would meaningfully enhance stockholder rights. While the stockholder proposal requests that stockholders owning 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock the right to call special meetings, the Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to require stockholders to own at least 25% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote, which strikes a reasonable and acceptable balance between permitting stockholders to request that the Board call special meetings and ensuring that special meetings are held only when supported by a meaningful proportion of our stockholders. Special meetings involve significant time and expense for Board and management, and at least 25% of stockholders should support the need to convene a special meeting to indicate that need for special meeting is not the result of unduly narrow issues, and is deemed critical by our stockholders generally.
In light of these considerations, and based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has approved, and recommends that the Company’s stockholders approve and adopt, the Special Meeting Charter Amendment.
The right of stockholders to request that the Company call special meetings would be subject to the notice, information and other requirements set forth in the Special Meeting Bylaw Amendment. The Board believes these requirements, which are similar to those commonly adopted by other companies, are important to avoid inappropriate, duplicative and/or unnecessary special meetings. If this Proposal 5 is adopted, the Special Meeting Bylaw Amendment would provide, in part, that:
•Stockholders who own at least 25% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company entitled to vote may request that the Board call a special meeting of stockholders. (Article 2, Section 2.03(a))
•Only the possession of both the full voting and investment rights and the full economic interest for the shares counts as relevant ownership. (Article 2, Section 2.03(b))
•Stockholders requesting a special meeting must furnish, among other items, information that is the same as would be required when stockholders seek to nominate a candidate for director or propose

other business to be brought before a meeting of stockholders under the Bylaws. (Article 2, Section 2.03(b))
•The Company will not be required to call a special meeting of stockholders if the special meeting request (i) does not comply with the Bylaw related to special meetings; (ii) relates to an item of business that is not a proper matter for stockholder action under applicable law; (iii) is received during certain time periods; (iv) relates to an item of business that is identical or substantially similar to any item of business that was previously presented or will be presented at a stockholder meeting, subject to certain specifications; or (v) violates Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. (Article 2, Section 2.03(c))
Certificate of Incorporation Amendment
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to this proposal is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Appendix C. Appendix C also includes the amendments to the Company’s Bylaws that would become effective upon the effectiveness of the amendments contemplated by this Proposal 5. The Board reserves the ability to abandon these amendments before they become effective, even if approved by the stockholders, provided the Board publicly discloses that action.
If Proposal 5 is approved by the stockholders, then the Company intends to file a certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation that implements the amendments contemplated by Appendix C, which will become effective upon filing. If this proposal is not approved by our stockholders, the amendments will not be implemented. Stockholders are also asked to consider Proposal 4, which relates to amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to phase-out the classification of the Board and provide for the annual election of directors.

PROPOSAL 6 |  |  | STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL - GIVE SHAREHOLDERS THE ABILITY TO CALL FOR A SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING

John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, California, 90278, who owns 25 shares of Murphy USA common stock, has notified Murphy USA that he intends to present the following proposal at the 2026 Annual Meeting. This Proposal 6 will be voted on at our 2026 Annual Meeting if properly presented by the stockholder proponent or a by a qualified representative on behalf of the stockholder proponent. Murphy USA is not responsible for the contents of the proposal or supporting statement.
Proposal 6 – Give Shareholders the Ability to Call for a Special Shareholder Meeting
Shareholders ask our Board of Directors to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting or the owners of the lowest percentage of shareholders, as governed by state law, the power to call a special shareholder meeting. Such a special shareholder meeting can be an online shareholder meeting.
There shall be no poison pill discriminatory rule to require ownership of shares for a specific period of time in order for shares to participate in calling for a special shareholder meeting.
To guard against the Murphy USA Board of Directors becoming complacent shareholders need the ability to call a special shareholder meeting to help the Board adopt new strategies when the need arises.
This proposal topic received between 51% and 72% support each in 2024 at Jabil, Warner Brothers Discovery, ANSYS, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and DexCom.
A shareholder right to call for a special shareholder meeting can help make shareholder engagement meaningful. A shareholder right to call for an online special shareholder meeting will help ensure that the Murphy USA Board and management engages with shareholders in good faith because shareholders will have a viable Plan B by calling for an online special shareholder meeting.
Any argument that calling a special shareholder meeting is too cumbersome has little validity. In the vast majority of cases or in most cases, once a special meeting is called for by shareholders, the issues behind calling for a special shareholder meeting are quickly resolved.
With the widespread use of online shareholder meetings it is much easier for a company to conduct a special shareholder meeting online, in the unlikely event that a special shareholder meeting ultimately takes place, and the Murphy USA governing documents thus need to be updated accordingly.
Please vote yes:
Give Shareholders the Ability to Call for a Special Shareholder Meeting – Proposal 6
BOARD’S STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION TO STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL 6 - GIVE SHAREHOLDERS THE ABILITY TO CALL FOR A SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING
Our Board has evaluated the proposal and, for the reasons described below, recommend AGAINST the stockholder proposal, because it has proposed providing stockholders with the ability to call special meetings at a 25% ownership threshold instead.
The Board Has Proposed Providing Stockholders With the Ability To Call Special Meetings At a 25% Ownership Threshold Instead
After a review of evolving corporate governance practices, and consistent with its strong commitment to the consideration of stockholder views, the Board recognizes that providing stockholders the ability to call special meetings is viewed by some stockholders as an important right. However, the Board believes that the 10%

PAGE 60 |  |

Table of Contents

PROPOSAL 6 |  |  | STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL - GIVE SHAREHOLDERS THE ABILITY TO CALL FOR A SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING

ownership threshold for calling a special meeting in the stockholder proposal is not in the best interests of the Company.
Instead, the Board recommends in Proposal 5 that stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to enable stockholders owing at least 25% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote to call special meetings , which the Board believes strikes an appropriate balance between providing a meaningful number of stockholders with the ability to call special meetings to raise issues in between annual meetings and the necessary distraction of time and resources needed for management to devote to these requests. For a detailed discussion of this management proposal, see Proposal 5 of this proxy statement.
The Company believes that a special meeting right that permits stockholders owning only 10% would increase the risk that a relatively small group of stockholders with narrow interests that do not reflect the views of most other stockholders could call special meetings to advance agendas that are not aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. Special meetings subject the Company to considerable expense and pulls the attention of management and the Board away from business initiatives and objectives. Implementing a 25% ownership threshold and other reasonable processes and procedures, consistent with Proposal 5, would instead help to ensure that a special meeting will be called by stockholders only when there is meaningful support for the meeting among the Company’s stockholders while providing stockholders with an important right to strengthen Board and management accountability.
The Company also believes that 25% ownership threshold in Proposal 5 aligns with corporate governance practices among S&P 400 companies and that introducing a stockholder special meeting right with a 10% threshold is unnecessary in light of the Company’s evolving current governance practices. These strong governance features include:
•independent Board Chair, independent Board (except for CEO) and independent Board committees;
•implementing annual election of directors at this Annual Meeting (see Proposal 4);
•majority vote and director resignation policy for directors;
•limits on public company board and audit committee service;
•regular executive sessions of independent directors;
•the elimination of supermajority voting provisions in May 2024; and
•proxy access rights for stockholders.
Given the Company’s proposal to enable the adoption of a stockholder special meeting right with a 25% ownership threshold and the Company’s corporate governance framework, the Board believes that this proposal is unnecessary and not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “AGAINST” STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL 6 – GIVE SHAREHOLDERS THE ABILITY TO CALL FOR A SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING.

Bylaws
Article 2
Section 2.03. Special Meetings. (a) Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only (i) by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board (as defined below), or (ii) upon the written request delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, signed and dated by one or more stockholders of record, or beneficial owners, if any, of the Corporation (the “Requesting Stockholders”) who own not less than 25% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on each of the matters proposed to be considered at such special meeting (the “Requisite Percentage”) and who have complied with all respects of this Section 2.03. Except as otherwise required by law, notice of the special meeting shall be given in accordance with Section 2.04 of this Article 2. Subject to these Bylaws, any special meeting shall be held on such date, and at such time and place, if any, within or without the State of Delaware as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that special meetings of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Law”).
(b) To be in proper form, any request or requests for a special meeting pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) above (each, a “Special Meeting Request” and, collectively, the “Special Meeting Requests”) (i) must be delivered in accordance with 2.03(a)(ii) by one or more Requesting Stockholders who (a) at the time each Special Meeting Request is delivered, own or are acting on behalf of persons who own, the Requisite Percentage; (b) shall not revoke such Special Meeting Request; and (c) shall continue to own not less than the Requisite Percentage through the date of the special meeting; (ii) must provide a statement of the specific purpose or purposes of the special meeting, the matter(s) proposed to be acted on at the special meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting and any material interest in such business of each Requesting Stockholder; (iii) must contain such information and representations required by these Bylaws as though such Requesting Stockholders are intending to nominate a candidate for director or propose other business to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Section 2.10 of this Article 2; and (iv) must contain (a) an agreement by the Requesting Stockholders to notify the Corporation promptly in the event of any disposition following the date of the Special Meeting Request of shares of common stock of the Corporation owned by the Requesting Stockholders and (b) an acknowledgement that any such disposition prior to the date of the special meeting shall be deemed to be a revocation of such Special Meeting Request with respect to such disposed shares and that such shares will no longer be included in determining whether the Requisite Percentage has been satisfied.
In determining whether a request for a special meeting has been properly made in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(ii), multiple Special Meeting Requests delivered to the Secretary will be considered together only if (i) each Special Meeting Request identifies substantially the same purpose or purposes of the special meeting and substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at such meeting (which, if such purpose is the removal of directors, will mean that the exact same person or persons are proposed for removal in each relevant Special Meeting Request), and in each case, as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the directors’

MURPHY USA INC. 2026 PROXY STATEMENT |  | PAGE C-1

fiduciary duties, and (ii) such Special Meeting Requests have been delivered to, and received by, the Secretary no later than the close of business on the sixtieth day following first date on which a Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Corporation (whether or not such earliest dated Special Meeting Request later is revoked). Any Requesting Stockholder may revoke their Special Meeting Request at any time prior to the date of the special meeting by written revocation to the Secretary of the Corporation delivered to, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation. If, following such revocation there are unrevoked requests from Requesting Stockholders holding in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percentage, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel the special meeting. If none of the Requesting Stockholders who submitted a Special Meeting Request appears or sends a duly authorized representative to present the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting, the Corporation need not present such business for a vote at such special meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation.
For purposes of this Section 2.03, the terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have the meaning set forth in Article 2, Section 2.11(a)(viii) of these Bylaws.
(c) The Secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting pursuant to 2.03(a)(ii) if, in the determination of the Board of Directors made in accordance with the directors’ fiduciary duties, (i) the Special Meeting Request does not comply with these Bylaws; (ii) the matter(s) set forth in the Special Meeting Request, relates to an item of business that is not a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware Law; (iii) the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary during the period commencing 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders and ending on the earlier of the close of business (x) on the date of the next annual meeting and (y) thirty days after the first anniversary of the date of the previous meeting; (iv) an identical or substantially similar item of business, as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the directors’ fiduciary duties (a “Similar Item”), other than the election of directors, was presented at a meeting of stockholders held not more than twelve months before the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary of the Corporation; (v) a Similar Item was presented at a meeting of stockholders held not more than 90 days before the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary of the corporation; (vi) a Similar Item is included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting as an item of business to be brought before an annual meeting or special meeting that has been called but not yet held or that is called for 120 days after the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary of the Corporation; or (vii) the Special Meeting Request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or other applicable law. For purposes of this Section 2.03(c), the nomination, election or removal of directors shall be deemed to be a Similar Item with respect to all actions involving the nomination, election or removal of directors, changing the size of the Board and filling of vacancies and/or newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors.
(d) A special meeting called pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors in accordance with these Bylaws, provided, however, that the special meeting shall not be held more than 90 days after receipt by the Corporation of a valid Special Meeting Request. In fixing a date and time for any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the meeting and any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting. Each Requesting Stockholder is required to (i) update and supplement the Special Meeting Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b), if necessary so that it is true and correct as of the record date for the special meeting, not later than ten days following the later of the record date for the meeting day or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed to provide any material changes in the foregoing information as of such record date, (ii) update and supplement the Special Meeting Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b) in accordance with the requirements under Section 2.10(a)(iv) of this Article 2 as if such requirements applies herein mutatis mutandis and (ii) promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this Section 2.03(d) shall not limit the Corporation's rights with respect to any deficiencies in any request provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines under these Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted a request under these Bylaws to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before the special meeting of stockholders.
(e) To be properly brought before a special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. Business transacted at any special meeting as a result of a valid Special Meeting Request shall be limited to (x) the purpose(s) stated in the

Special Meeting Request(s) received from the Requisite Percentage of Requesting Stockholders and (y) any additional matters the Board of Directors determines to include in the Corporation’s notice of the special meeting. Except as otherwise provided by Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, the chair of the special meeting shall have the power and authority, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, to determine whether any business proposed to be brought before a special meeting was proposed in accordance with the foregoing procedures. No business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders except in accordance with this Section 2.03 or as required by Delaware Law.
Section 2.10
(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. If the election of directors is included as business to be brought before a special meeting in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, then nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at a special meeting of stockholders may be made by any stockholder who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.10(b) and at the time of the special meeting, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10(b). For nominations to be properly brought by a stockholder before a special meeting of stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (A) not earlier than 120 days prior to the date of the special meeting nor (B) later than the later of 90 days prior to the date of the special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting was first made. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall comply with all the notice requirements of Section 2.10(a).
