The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under this plan was 12.9 million based on the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of the end of the second quarter of 2026 of $577.26 per share. At the end of the second quarter of 2026, $7.4 billion of common stock remains to be purchased under this plan.

Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
During the second quarter of 2026, we issued 2,637 deferred stock units under the Deere & Company Nonemployee Director Stock Ownership Plan (“NEDSOP”) to nonemployee directors for their service on our Board of Directors. The deferred stock units convert to shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis following a termination of service as described in the plan. Deferred stock units and shares of common stock issued under the NEDSOP are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of the SEC’s Regulation D thereunder.
On February 26, 2026, we distributed 5,900 shares of common stock to a participant account under the NEDSOP.
