The purpose of the Audit & Risk Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Meta Platforms, Inc. (the “Company”) shall be to oversee (A) the independence, qualifications and performance of the independent auditor, (B) the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and the audits of the financial statements of the Company, (C) the Company’s internal audit function, (D) significant financial matters of the Company, including tax policies, planning and compliance, treasury policies, and share repurchases, and (E) certain risk exposures of the Company. The Committee has an oversight role and in fulfilling that role it relies on the reviews and reports noted below.

This charter (the “Charter”) sets forth the authority and responsibilities of the Committee in fulfilling the purposes described herein. In fulfilling its responsibilities, it is recognized that members of the Committee are not full-time employees of the Company and are not, and do not represent themselves to be, professional accountants or auditors. The functions of the Committee are not intended to duplicate or substitute for the activities of management and the independent auditor, and the Committee members cannot provide any expert or special assurance as to the Company’s financial statements, internal controls or management of risk or any professional certifications as to the work of the independent auditor.

While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete, accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (a) the integrity of those persons and organizations within and outside of the Company from which it receives information, (b) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons or organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Board), and (c) representations made by management as to any audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.

While this Charter should be interpreted in the context of all applicable laws, regulations and listing requirements, as well as in the context of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, it is not intended to establish by its own force any legally binding obligations.

The Committee will consist of three or more members of the Board, with the exact number determined by the Board. Each member of the Committee will:

• be an “independent director” as defined under the applicable rules, regulations and listing requirements of the stock exchange upon which the Company’s securities are listed for trading (the “Exchange Rules”), except as may otherwise be permitted by the Exchange Rules;
• be “independent” as defined in Section 10A(m) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10A 3 and any other rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Exchange Act (the “Commission Rules”), except as may otherwise be permitted by such Commission Rules;
• not have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years;
• have the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements;
• be free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a Committee member; and
• meet any other requirements imposed by applicable law, regulations or rules, subject to any applicable exemptions and transition provisions.

All members of the Committee will have sufficient accounting or financial experience and ability to enable them to discharge their responsibilities, and at least one member will be an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the Commission Rules.

All members of the Committee will be appointed by, and will serve at the discretion of, the Board. The Board may appoint a member of the Committee to serve as the chairperson of the Committee (the “Chair”); if the Board does not appoint a Chair, the Committee members may designate a Chair by their majority vote. The Chair will set the agenda for Committee meetings and conduct the proceedings of those meetings.

The principal responsibilities and duties of the Committee in serving the purposes outlined in Section I of this Charter are set forth below. These duties are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Committee will carry them out in a manner that is appropriate given the Company’s needs and circumstance. The Committee may supplement them as appropriate and may establish policies and procedures from time to time that it deems necessary or advisable in fulfilling its responsibilities.
