BOARD COMMITTEES The Board of Directors has established the following three standing committees to assist in executing its duties: Audit, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Organization and Compensation. Key responsibilities of each of the committees are described below, together with the current membership and number of meetings held in 2023. In addition, the Board of Directors and these committees are actively engaged in oversight of our enterprise risk management process and of our environmental, social and governance initiatives, as separately discussed below. Each of these committees is composed entirely of independent, non-management directors. Each of these committees has a written charter. Copies of these charters are posted on Textron’s website, www.textron.com, under “Investors—Corporate Governance—Committee Charters,” and are also available in print upon request to Textron’s Secretary.
