Id	Content
F1	Held in the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan (the Plan), a qualified defined contribution plan, as of February 15, 2022. Share totals with respect to the Plan are based upon unit accounting and therefore may reflect a change in units attributable to an individual though no acquisition or disposition occurred.

The RSRs were granted under the Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan ("LTISP") on 2/15/22 and will vest on 2/18/25.
F3	Each Restricted Performance Stock Right ("RPSR") represents a contingent right to receive an equivalent number of shares of Issuer common stock, or, at the Issuer's election, cash or a combination of cash and Issuer common stock. The RPSRs vest if the applicable performance metric is satisfied for the relevant measurement period. Grants awarded pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d).
F4	The RPSRs acquired include (i) 909 vested RPSRs with respect to the measurement period ended 12/31/21 acquired due to settlement of the RPSRs granted under the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan ("LTISP") on 2/13/19 that resulted in settlement at 122% of the target award; and (ii) 3,587 unvested RPSRs granted under the LTISP on 2/15/22 with a measurement period ending on 12/31/24.
