On March 11, 2022, McCormick & Company, Incorporated (the “Registrant”) announced the suspension of its business within Russia.

7.01, including the Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
