YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

PLEASE VOTE TODAY

Dear PPG Shareholder:

According to our latest records, we have not received your voting instructions for the annual meeting of shareholders of PPG Industries, Inc. to be held on April 21, 2022. Your vote is extremely important no matter how many shares you hold.

The PPG Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal to provide for the annual election of directors and “FOR” the proposal to replace the supermajority voting requirements. After careful review, and taking into consideration the views of our shareholders, the Board of Directors has determined that both of these proposals will enhance our corporate governance practices and enhance the accountability of the Board. A failure to vote is essentially a vote against these important governance proposals.

You may submit your vote by any of the following methods:
