SUPPLEMENT TO 2025 NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT DATED MARCH 10, 2025 FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON APRIL 29, 2025
This proxy statement supplement (the “Supplement”) supplements and amends the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by International Business Machines Corporation on March 10, 2025.
R.D. Thomas’s total compensation for 2024, as set forth in the “Total” column of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 48 of the Proxy Statement, was incorrectly stated as $11,852,598. The correct “Total” amount is $12,283,398. All other amounts in the Summary Compensation Table are correct, and all other tables in the Proxy Statement utilize the correct total 2024 compensation amount for Mr. Thomas.
This corrected information replaces the information originally included in the Proxy Statement.
Except as specifically discussed in this Explanatory Note, this Supplement does not otherwise modify or update any other disclosures presented in the Proxy Statement. This Supplement should be read with the Proxy Statement, and, from and after the date of this Supplement, any references to the “Proxy Statement” shall be deemed to include the Proxy Statement as amended by this Supplement.
