for
The 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
to be held on March 23, 2023


This supplement, dated March 3, 2023, supplements the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of Starbucks Corporation (the “Company” or “Starbucks”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2023, relating to the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 23, 2023. The purpose of this supplement is solely to provide additional disclosure regarding our shareholder proposals.

Proposal 8 - Shareholder Proposal Regarding Assessment of Worker Rights Commitments

Starbucks would like to clarify that the human rights impact assessment referenced in its statement in opposition to Proposal 8 - Shareholder Proposal Regarding Assessment of Worker Rights Commitments will be conducted by independent third parties, including those with appropriate subject-matter expertise with respect to the referenced deeper-level review of the principles of freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. We expect to make the results of the human rights impact assessment available to shareholders, stakeholders, and other interested parties by the end of our 2023 fiscal year, subject to the legal privilege considerations described in our board recommendation.
