Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters\n\nThe following table summarizes information as of April 30, 2026, about our equity compensation plans under which we have made grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, market value units, performance units, or other equity awards.\n\nPlan Category\nNumber of Securities to Be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights1\n\nWeighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights2\n\nNumber of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans\n\nEquity compensation plans approved by Class A common stockholders2,125,236$52.459,286,964\n\n1Includes 318,291 Class B restricted stock units (RSUs); 1,413,553 Class B performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs); 121,017 Class A PBRSUs; 244,377 Class A common deferred stock units (DSUs); and 27,998 Class B common DSUs issued under the Brown-Forman 2004, 2013 Omnibus, and 2022 Omnibus Compensation Plans. SSARs are exercisable for an amount of our common stock with a value equal to the increase in the fair market value of the common stock from the date the SSARs were granted. The fair market value of our common stock at fiscal year-end has been used for the purposes of reporting the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the 4,053,213 SSARs outstanding at fiscal year-end.\n\n2RSUs, PBRSUs and DSUs have no exercise price because their value depends on continued employment or service over time, and are to be settled for shares of Class B common stock. Accordingly, these have been disregarded for purposes of computing the weighted-average exercise price.\n\nFor the other information required by this item, refer to the section entitled “Stock Ownership” of our 2026 Proxy Statement, which information is incorporated into this report by reference."}
