Trade While in Possession of Material, Nonpublic Information You (as an “Insider”) must not directly or indirectly trade in or transfer Corporation Securities while you are in possession of Material Non-public information about the Corporation. You must not directly or indirectly (i.e., through other persons or entities) trade in or transfer securities of any publicly traded company (including, for example, customers, suppliers, or joint venture partners) based on Material, Nonpublic information you obtain in connection with your employment. If you leave the Corporation, and you possess Material, Nonpublic information, you must not trade in or transfer securities of any company affected by that information until the information is publicly available or is no longer material. b.

Disclose Material, Nonpublic Information to Anyone who May Use it for Trading You must not disclose any Material, Nonpublic information to others who may use it to trade securities. Such disclosures are called “tipping” and are generally illegal. d.

Blackout Periods & Pre-Approval Purchases, sales, transfers of Corporation Securities and related investment decisions by Covered Persons are subject to “blackout periods” and pre-approval requirements. If you are a Covered Person you must not purchase, sell or otherwise transfer, or make an investment decision related to Corporation Securities during a blackout period. Table A, below, lists the applicable blackout periods. Any Covered Person who has a standing order with a broker to buy or sell Corporation Securities, such as a limit trading instruction, must cancel the order prior to the beginning of a blackout period (other than any such order made pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan). Directors and Executive Officers who retire or leave U. S. Steel during a blackout period agree to observe this policy until the end of the blackout period.

All 10b5-1 Plans, and all modifications or terminations of Rule 10b5-1 plans, must be pre-approved by the Legal department. Any new plan or modification of an existing plan must meet the following conditions:  The plan must have a specified termination date: o For Directors and Executive Officers, the plan must terminate after 9-18

Amendment or termination of a 10b5-1 plan must be reviewed and pre-approved by the Legal department. Termination of a 10b5-1 Plan includes divesting ownership of Corporation Securities covered by an existing 10b5-1 Plan, other than by the terms of the 10b5-1 Plan. Insiders who amend or terminate 10b5-1 plans will be subject to the applicable “cooling off” period outlined above before additional transactions may occur under the amended plan. Insiders who terminate a 10b5- 1 plan must obtain pre-approval to enter into a new plan, and any new plan also would be subject to a new cooling off period. Covered Persons are prohibited from adopting more than one 10b5-1 Plan for open market purchases or sales, other than:  to sell only enough securities as are necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising exclusively from the vesting of a compensatory award, such as on the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units (provided that the award holder is not permitted to exercise control over the timing of such sales), or  if trading under the later-commencing 10b5- 1 Plan is not authorized to begin until after all trades under the earlier-commencing 10b5-1 Plan are completed, expire without execution, or are terminated early. The first trade under the later-commencing plan may not be scheduled to occur until after the cooling-off period applicable to the Covered Person, commencing on the date of termination of the earlier-adopted 10b5-1 Plan. Directors and Executive Officers may enter into a single 10b5-1 Plan that consists of a series of separate contracts with different broker-dealers. In any 12-month period, a Covered Person is limited to one “single-trade plan” — one designed to effect the open market purchase or sale of the total amount of the securities subject to the plan as a single transaction.
