*Although we are currently planning to hold the Annual Meeting in person, in light of the ongoing public health concerns surrounding the COVID -19 pandemic, we may deem it necessary to make alternative arrangements for the Annual Meeting, which may include holding the meeting solely by means of remote communication. If we decide to hold a virtual Annual Meeting, we will announce it in advance in a press release, and details will be posted on our website at www.Emerson.com, Investors, Investor Resources, Shareholder Information and filed as additional proxy soliciting material with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In that event, the Annual Meeting would be held on the above date and time but would be available via live audio webcast, and shareholders or their legal proxy holders could participate, submit questions, vote, and examine our shareholder list at the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EMR2022 and using your 16-digit control number, but only if the meeting is held virtually and not in St. Louis. If you are planning to attend our Annual Meeting, please monitor our website prior to the meeting date. As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting.
