On February 17, 2023, the Board of Directors of Mueller Industries, Inc.

A summary of these amendments is set forth below:
•Annual Meetings of Stockholders: Article II, Section 11 was amended to update the procedural mechanics for stockholder nominations of directors in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to make certain other changes related to the information required to be provided in connection with such nominations;
•List of Stockholders: Article II, Section 8 was updated in order to remove a requirement that the list of stockholders be available during a meeting of stockholders; and
•Number of Board Members: Article III, Section 1 was updated to reduce the number of directors from nine (9) to eight (8), to reflect the current size of the Board.
