Our burn rate for FY21 was the lowest in our executive compensation peer group.¹ • Our CEO's actual 2021 compensation of $29.9m, excluding accounting adjustments for prior year grants, was in line with market compensation for CEOs of our peers. ¹ 1 • 3-year PSUs include rTSR modifier to reflect our stock performance relative to similar travel/hospitality companies on potential payouts. • In 2022 we added a limit to PSU payouts of 100% (or less) if our stock price is flat or negative over the three-year performance period to ensure further alignment with stockholder interests.

From 2019 baseline BOOKING HOLDINGS 13#14Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Leadership at the Top Compensation Committee is tasked with oversight of human capital management, including diversity, inclusion, and belonging, Company culture, employee engagement and talent recruitment, development, and retention. 36% OF THE BOARD ARE WOMEN 50% OF EMPLOYEES ARE WOMEN 45% OF BOARD IS RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY, OR GENDER DIVERSE Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging We publish our consolidated EEO-1 Report for employees in the United States (representing ~17% of our workforce as of 12/31/21) on our website. Certain jurisdictions, particularly outside the United States, present challenges to tracking employee racial or ethnic demographics for legal or privacy reasons. We are committed to pay equity, regardless of gender, race or ethnicity. With the help of an independent compensation consultant, we conduct pay equity studies every other year and in the off years, we work on remediation plans to address outliers. * Workforce diversity data as of December 31, 2021. 67% OF BOARD COMMITTEE CHAIRS ARE WOMEN 23% TECH POSITIONS WERE FILLED BY WOMEN 31% EXTENDED LEADERSHIP TEAM ARE WOMEN BOOKING HOLDINGS 14#15Voting Items 1 Election of Directors Proposal 2 Advisory Vote to Approve 2021 Executive Compensation 3 5 Ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Independent Registered Public Stockholder Proposal Requesting Right of Stockholders 4 Holding 10% of our Outstanding Shares of Common Stock to Call a Special Meeting Stockholder Proposal Requesting the Board of Directors Incorporate Climate Change Metrics into Executive Compensation Arrangements for our Chief Executive Officer and At Least One Other Senior Executive | Board Recommendation Please vote FOR each of the Board of Directors' nominees Please vote FOR the Company's Say on Pay Please vote FOR ratification of Deloitte and Touche LLP for year ending December 31, 2022 Please vote AGAINST this non-binding stockholder proposal • Our existing 25% threshold to call special meetings strikes the proper balance between enabling stockholders to initiate corporate action between annual meetings while protecting the Company and its stockholders. Setting the threshold at 10% would permit a few stockholders who own a small percentage of the Company's common stock to call a special meeting that may be of limited or no concern to the large majority of the Company's stockholders, while wasting company resources and diverting management's attention away from running the business. Please vote AGAINST this non-binding stockholder proposal . We established ambitious emissions reduction targets this year and plan to measure and report our progress against them annually, but the Board requires more time to determine how that may relate to executive compensation.
