Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain
Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 6, 2023, the Board
of Directors (the “Board”) of Waste Management, Inc. (the “Company”) increased its size to ten members and elected
Mr. Bruce E. Chinn as an additional member of the Board, effective as of February 10, 2023, with a term expiring at the 2023 annual meeting
of stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). Mr. Chinn was also appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board.
Mr. Chinn, age 65, is President
and Chief Executive Officer of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, a global petrochemical joint venture of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and
Phillips 66 Company, and a member of its board of directors.
Mr.
Chinn will receive compensation for his service as a non-employee director of the Company as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement.
Mr. Chinn will receive pro-rated compensation for the current six-month director compensation period ending July 15, 2023, consisting
of (i) a stock award under the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan for the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal
in fair market value to $70,200, rounded to the nearest full share, on the grant date of February 10, 2023 and (ii) a cash payment of
$46,800.
Mr. Chinn will stand for re-election
at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Director Thomas H. Weidemeyer has reached the retirement age set forth in the Company’s Corporate
Governance Guidelines; therefore, he will not stand for re-election and his term as a director of the Company will expire at the 2023
Annual Meeting. The Board intends to reduce its size to nine members effective as of the expiration of Mr. Weidemeyer’s term.
