Id	Content
F1	On February 25, 2022, the reporting person filed a Form 4 reporting the payment of minimum statutory tax obligations incident to the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units in accordance with Rule 16b-3 by withholding 1,201 shares of Ecolab Common Stock. It was later determined that the number of shares withheld was overcounted by 6 shares as a total of 1,195 shares were actually withheld. Accordingly, 6 shares have been added to the reporting person's end of period holdings.
F2	Number of UNITS in the Ecolab Stock Fund of the Ecolab Savings Plan (401(k) Plan) as of November 30, 2022. Includes 64.801 UNITS acquired since the reporting person's last report. (The 1,384.234 UNITS are the equivalent of approximately 2,551 SHARES of the issuer's Common Stock.)
F3	The option will be exercisable, on a cumulative basis, as to one-third of the option shares (excluding any fractional portion less than one share), on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant and as to the remaining shares on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The date listed in the "Date Exercisable" column is the first anniversary of the date of grant.
