On May 1, 2024, Laurie Smaldone Alsup notified BlackBerry Limited (the “Company”) that she will not stand for re-election as a director at the Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), to be held on June 25, 2024. Dr. Smaldone Alsup has served on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) since June 2015 and will complete her current term, which expires at the Annual Meeting.
