John Bryant was elected to Ball Corporation’s board of directors in September 2018. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Mr. Bryant was an executive at Kellogg Company for 20 years and was its Chief Executive Officer from January 2011 to September 2017. SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS, ATTRIBUTES, SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE Mr. Bryant joined Kellogg Company in 1998 and held a variety of roles including Chief Financial Officer; President, North America; President, International; and Chief Operating Officer before becoming Chief Executive Officer in January 2011. He retired as Chairman of the Board in March 2018 and Chief Executive Officer in September 2017. When he served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kellogg, Mr. Bryant was heavily involved with industry associations and government agencies in the area of sustainability. In addition to his role on Ball’s Board, Bryant serves as a Board member of Macy’s Inc., Compass PLC and Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PLC. He has also served as a trustee of the W.K.

Mr. Bryant has extensive knowledge and expertise in accounting and financial matters, branded consumer products and consumer dynamics, crisis management, international markets, people management, manufacturing and strategy, and strategic planning. Mr. Bryant currently serves on the audit committees of three other public companies, and our Board of Directors has determined that, given his extensive financial experience, such simultaneous service will not impair his ability to effectively serve on Ball’s audit committee. Mr. Bryant’s extensive experience as a senior executive at a leading U.S.-based public company, including as its Chief Executive Officer for seven years, as well as his extensive service on public company boards, make him well qualified to serve as a director.
