On February 5, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Simon Property Group, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of its Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) appointed Mr. Martin J. Cicco to the Board, effective as of February 5, 2026, to serve for the balance of the term expiring at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with such action, the Board increased its size from 13 to 14 members. As of the date of this filing, Mr. Cicco’s committee appointments have not yet been determined. The Committee and the Board have determined that Mr. Cicco is independent under the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, and there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Cicco and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Cicco was appointed a director of the Company. Mr. Cicco does not have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
As a non-employee director, Mr. Cicco will participate in the non-employee director compensation arrangements described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2025, and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the Company expects that Mr. Cicco will enter into the Company’s standard form of director indemnity agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on August 13, 1998, and is incorporated herein by reference.
