Conflicts of Interest and Related Person Transactions“We maintain a written related person transactions policy that applies to any transaction or series of transactions in which: (1) the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a participant; (2) any “related person” (executive officer, director, greater than 5% beneficial owner of the Company’s common stock, or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing) has or will have a material direct or indirect interest; and (3) the aggregate amount involved since the beginning of the Company’s last completed fiscal year will exceed or may reasonably be expected to exceed $100,000. The policy provides that related person transactions that may arise during the year are subject to the Audit Committee’s reasonable prior approval. If advance approval of a related person transaction is not possible, then the transaction will be considered and, if deemed appropriate, ratified no later than the Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting. In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction, the Audit Committee will consider, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstance, the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, whether the transaction would impair independence of a non-employee director and whether there is a business reason for UPS to enter into the transaction. A copy of the policy is available on our Investor Relations website at www.investors.ups.com. There were no related person transactions from January 1, 2025 through the date of this Proxy Statement required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.”
