PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY

April 11, 2022

Dear PPG Shareholder:

The PPG Industries, Inc. annual meeting of shareholders is approximately one week away. According to our latest records, we have not received your voting instructions for the PPG Industries, Inc. annual meeting, to be held on April 21, 2022.

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. Please vote via the internet or phone as soon as possible or, alternatively, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form.

If you have any questions or need assistance with voting, please contact our proxy solicitor, D.F. King & Company, toll-free at (877) 732-3613.

On behalf of the entire PPG Board of Directors, I want to thank you for your continued investment and belief in PPG.

Sincerely,

Michael H. McGarry Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
