Description of Plan<div style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:3pt;padding-left:36pt;padding-right:9pt">The following description of the MSD Puerto Rico Savings & Security Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">General </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">The Plan is a defined contribution plan established effective July 1, 1997. The Plan is a profit sharing plan designed to provide a systematic means of saving and investing for the future and an opportunity for employees of MSD International GmbH (Puerto Rico Branch) LLC and the Puerto Rico branch of Merck Sharp & Dohme (I.A.) LLC (the “Companies”) to become shareholders of Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”). Regular full-time employees of the Companies, as defined in the Plan document, are eligible to enroll in the Plan as soon as administratively feasible after such employee begins service with one of the Companies. MSD International GmbH (Puerto Rico Branch) LLC, a branch of MSD International GmbH, a Swiss limited liability company, is the Plan sponsor (the “Sponsor”). The Plan’s recordkeeper is Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company (“Fidelity” or the “Recordkeeper”). Banco Popular de Puerto Rico serves as the Plan’s trustee (the “Trustee”). </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Participants direct the investment of their contributions into any fund investment option available under the Plan, including Merck common stock. The Plan offers a three-tiered approach to investing:</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:90pt;text-indent:-54pt">*Retirement Portfolios - a custom set of target date retirement funds;</div><div style="padding-left:90pt;text-indent:-54pt">*Core Funds - a selection of investment options (active and passive) that span a range of asset classes;</div><div style="padding-left:90pt;text-indent:-54pt">*Fidelity Brokerage Link® - a self-directed brokerage account that provides access to more than 8,500 mutual funds. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">The Plan is administered by management committees appointed by the Sponsor’s Assistant Vice President - Plant Management, the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Merck or their delegates. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Master Trust </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">A portion of the assets of the Plan are maintained, for investment purposes only, with all the assets of the MSD Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan, and the Merck US Savings Plan in the Merck & Co., Inc. Qualified Plans Master Trust (the "Master Trust)". The plans own specific interests in the Master Trust assets. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">The portion of Master Trust assets allocable to each plan is based upon the participants’ account balances within each plan. Investment income for the Master Trust is allocated to each plan based on the specific investments held in the Master Trust. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Contributions </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Participants may contribute up to 25% of their annual eligible compensation on a before-tax basis. However, before-tax contributions cannot exceed the lesser of: (i) the amount as in effect under Section 402(g) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “U.S. Code”) or Section 1081.01(d)(7)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico of 2011, as amended (the “2011 PR Code"); or (ii) in the case of highly compensated employees, the average actual deferral percentage limit. Also, total annual additions to a participant's accounts during a plan year are limited to the lesser of: (i) the applicable limit for a particular tax year under Section 415(c) of the U.S. Code as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury; or (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the participant's compensation paid by the employer during the calendar year. Participants may also contribute up to 25% of their annual eligible compensation on an after-tax basis subject to the limit provided under Section 1081.01(a)(15). Upon reaching the statutory elective deferral limit, or upon reasonable expectations that any of the aforementioned limits will be exceeded, the participant may elect to suspend contributions for the remainder of the plan year or elect to continue on an after-tax basis.</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">In addition, the Companies make matching contributions of $0.75 for every $1.00 of an employee's contributions, up to 6% of such employee's eligible compensation (maximum match is 4.5% of eligible compensation) per pay period (to the statutory limit). The combination of before-tax contributions, after-tax contributions and Companies matching contributions may not </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">exceed the statutory limit ($70,000 in 2025). Participant and Companies matching contributions are invested according to a participant’s elections.</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Participants are automatically enrolled in the Plan 60 days after first becoming eligible with a before-tax base pay contribution rate of 6%. In addition, each participant with a before-tax base pay contribution rate of at least 1% may elect to participate in an annual automatic increase program, in whole percentages of at least 1% and not more than 3% per year. The automatic percentage increase may not cause a participant’s before-tax base pay contribution rate to exceed 25%.</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">In addition, the Plan permits unmatched before-tax “catch-up contributions” of up to $1,500 by participants who are at least age 50 by year-end.</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Participant Accounts </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Companies’ contributions, and an allocation of Plan earnings.

Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Related-Party Transactions <div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Certain Plan investments are shares of registered investment companies (mutual funds) and common/collective trusts managed by the Recordkeeper or its affiliates. Fidelity is the Recordkeeper as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The total market value of the Plan’s portion of the investments managed by the Recordkeeper was $8.5 million and $7.0 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During 2025, the Plan’s portion of interest and dividends, realized and unrealized gains from investments managed by the Recordkeeper was $0.04 million, $0.35 million and $2.67 million, respectively. </div>Merck also is a party-in-interest to the Plan under the definition provided in Section 3(14) of ERISA. Therefore, Plan transactions of Merck common stock qualify as both related party transactions and party-in-interest transactions. The market value of the Plan’s portion of the investment in Merck common stock was $29.3 million and $29.5 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During 2025, the Plan’s portion of dividends, realized gains and unrealized gains from Merck common stock was $0.9 million, $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The Plan’s portion of purchases and sales of Merck common stock during 2025 was $1.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Plan Termination Although they have not expressed any intent to do so, the Companies have the right under the Plan to discontinue their contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination of the Plan, each participant thereby affected would receive the entire value of his or her account as though he or she had retired as of the date of such termination.

Tax Status <div style="padding-left:36pt">The Plan is qualified under Section 1081.01 of the 2011 PR Code and with Section 401(a) of the U.S. Code, and has received a favorable determination letter from the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury (the "PR Treasury") dated November 12, 2015, and from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service dated October 6, 2015, as to its qualified status under the 2011 PR Code and the U.S. Code, respectively. The Trust associated with the Plan is intended to be exempt from Puerto Rico income taxation pursuant to the provisions of Section 1081.01(a) of the 2011 PR Code. The Plan's Master Trust is to be considered as an organization as described in Section 401(a) and exempt under Section 501(a) of the U.S. Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letters. However, the Sponsor believes that the Plan is designed and currently operates in compliance with the 2011 PR Code and U.S. Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. Finally, the Trust has complied with the requirements established by Section 1022(i)(1) of ERISA.</div><div style="padding-left:36pt"> </div><div style="padding-left:36pt">Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the PR Treasury pursuant to the provisions of the 2011 PR Code. The Companies have analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2021.</div>

Fair Value Measurements<div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Entities are required to use a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:24.75pt">Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Master Trust's Level 1 investments primarily include registered investment companies (mutual funds), self-directed brokerage accounts and common stocks. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:24.75pt">Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Master Trust's Level 2 investments primarily include investments in certain fixed income investments such as government and agency obligations, corporate obligations and mortgage and asset-backed securities. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:24.75pt">Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The Master Trust did not hold any Level 3 investments at December 31, 2025 and 2024. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. There have been no changes in the valuation methodologies used at December 31, 2025 and 2024. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Within the Plan and Master Trust, investments are recorded at fair value as follows: </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Registered Investment Companies (Mutual Funds) </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Registered investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at their respective net asset values. The net asset values are typically determined by the fund at the close of regular trading. Investments in registered investment companies (mutual funds) generally may be redeemed daily. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Common/Collective Trusts </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">The common/collective trusts are valued at their respective net asset values, as a practical expedient for fair value. The fair value of investments in the common/collective trusts are determined by their trustee. The Master Trust's investments in common/collective trusts generally may be redeemed daily. </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Fixed Income Securities</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Fixed income securities, including U.S. government and agency obligations, corporate obligations and mortgage and asset-backed securities, are generally valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service approved by the custodian or at fair value as determined in good faith by the custodian and the Companies. The custodian has the discretionary authority to hire a pricing service to determine valuations using methods based on current market transactions, prices for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders.</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Self-directed brokerage accounts are comprised of mutual funds, which are valued at the net asset value reported by the managers of the funds, typically determined at the close of regular trading.</div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Equity Securities / Common Stocks </div><div style="margin-top:9pt;padding-left:36pt">Common stocks, for which market quotations are readily available, are generally valued at the last reported sales price on their principal exchange on the valuation date, or official close price for certain markets. If no sales are reported for that day, these investments are valued at the more recent of (i) the last published sale price or (ii) the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices for long positions, or at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustee and the Companies. </div><div style="padding-left:36pt">Investments Measured at Fair Value</div><div style="padding-left:36pt">
