Dear Delta Air Lines Shareowner:

Support Proposal #5 Requesting Improved Transparency of Climate Lobbying Objectives

---

CalPERS is the largest state public pension fund in the United States with approximately $450 billion in total assets under management and a long-term owner of over one million shares in Delta Air Lines. We are voting FOR proposal #5 (filed by BNP Paribas Asset Management) requesting for improved transparency of climate lobbying objectives. We urge shareowners to also vote for this proposal at the company’s June 17, 2021 annual meeting.

Vote FOR Improved Disclosure of Climate Lobbying Objectives

---

We believe that shareowners would benefit from improved disclosure of the company's climate lobbying objectives. The requested disclosure would help ensure that the company is transparent in its policy objectives, mitigate against reputational risks, and affirm that company funds were spent in a manner that is consistent with stated objectives.

Specifically, proposal #5 is requesting the Board of Directors conduct an evaluation and issue a report within the next year describing if, and how the company’s lobbying activities (direct and through trade associations) align with the goal of limiting average global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius (the Paris Climate Agreement's goal). The report should also address the risks presented by any misaligned lobbying and the company's plans, if any, to mitigate these risks.

Consistent with CalPERS Governance & Sustainability Principles, we will also be voting FOR Proposal #4 asking the company to allow shareowners the right to act by written consent.

For questions please contact Craig Rhines, CalPERS Associate Investment Manager at engagements@calpers.ca.gov.

Thank you for your support.
